This toy lived up to it's expectations and more. I would recommend bendybeads for experienced anal players and also novices wanting to take the next step up in size.
Pros:
Beautiful design. 100% silicone. The hole in the handle fits a vibrating bullet.
Cons:
too flexible for thrusting although that doesn't bother me.
Rating by reviewer:
This toy was definitely designed
I bought the bendybeads to replace another set of anal beads I had. They looked beautiful on pictures but as an anal novice I was a bit intimidated by the size. The beads are 10.43" in length and the biggest bead is 1.38" in diameter. When my beads arrived they were every bit as attractive as seen on pictures. The design is lovely and they are made from non porous good quality silicone. The handle is nice and sturdy. I think one needs to hack at it with an ax to brake it. They are smooth and firm to the touch and the bendybeads are indeed bendy. Very much so. Which I have found to be a plus. Since the beads are made from 100% medical grade silicone they are easy to clean and sterilize. Wash with soap and water, toss them in the dishwasher or boil them for a few minutes. The packaging is nice, no naked ladies, always a plus, and they come with a little user guide pamphlet and a sample of water based lube.
But down to business. Me and my significant other were very eager to try out our new toy. There was a bit of foreplay and then some fucking until I was nice and relaxed. I had a vibrator on my clit while my boyfriend started with one finger in my ass and then slowly inserted the beads one at a time. He didn't have any problems with the flexibility of the beads which I have read others complain about. I made him stop after the first 4 beads. I felt stuffed and the 5th bead was too much for me at the time. He started to fuck me doggy style and soon I had a big orgasm and my boyfriend followed shortly after.
Since then my bendybeads have become a stable in our sex life. If I'm having problem climaxing I just insert the beads and go over the edge in no time. My boyfriend loves feeling the beads in my ass move against his dick while fucking me. Especially in the missionary position when I have my legs on his shoulders so he can thrust deep. The beads massage the underside of his dick which he finds extremely stimulating.
I would recommend Bendy Beads for experienced anal players and also novices wanting to take the next step up in size. Because of the flexibility they are not good for thrusting. Rather just to insert and then pull out at the right moment.
Experience
After some experimenting I have found that to comfortably insert all five beads it's best to have warmed up and relaxed enough to be able to insert two fingers comfortably. Also a vibrating bullet fits nicely inside the hole in the handle. The silicone transmits the vibrations very well and this helps relax the sphincter muscle enabling me to take in the last bead. Because the beads are so flexible my boyfriend tells me it's best to hold and push on the bead you are trying to insert, it won't work to just push on the handle.
Also since this is a silicone toy fun factory the manufacturer will tell you to only use water based lube with your toy. However I am a fan of silicone lubes (the glycerin in water based lubes and my vagina don't get along) and after some thorough research and testing on my silicone toys I have found out that premium silicone lube and 100% medical grade silicone toys can play nicely together. Although cleanup is harder than with water based lube. Not all silicone lubes and silicone toys go together so if you are going to try silicone lube please do a small patch test first. If it gets all sticky and the lube needs to be scraped off the toy then the toy and lube are NOT compatible.
Follow-up commentary
1 day after original review
I would like to add a little instructions on cleaning silicone lube off a silicone toy. This is taken from the Jollies website
"Silicone based lubes require a complete wipe down of the Jollie with a dry cloth to remove the oil build up. Further oil build up can be removed using a “citrus” based degreaser cleaner or wipe."

I try to do a spot test with silicone lube on silicone toys but sometimes I'm just not brave enough. Kudos to you for going the extra mile and testing!

Wow, Ice, kudos to you for doing all that research. A woman after my own heart. I also have tried some silicone lubes on my silicone toys without incident. I got a new silicone lube recently and have not tried it on any silicone toys yet, but probably will eventually. Thanks for the great review!

Cock Wrangler: no I haven't noticed any degradation. As I understand it, if the lube and toy are incompatible the reaction is instant. The lube binds to the toy and needs to be scraped off. If the lube stays slick then that lube and that toy are compatible.

So you haven't noticed any degradation of the toy after multiple uses with silicone lube? That's exciting, and thanks for testing!

Bulma: I'm not really lube savvy. I use Wet platinum. I have only tried two kinds of silicone lubes ID millenium and Wet platinum. I prefer Wet. I used to use ID glide (water based) but it started to burn and itch and I am prone to yeast infections so I stopped using it. I like the feel of wet platinum in my ass better than I did ID glide. I would like to try Pjur Eros silicone lube but I find it rather expensive. So yes Wet is my lube for everything ass or pussy. I'm happy with it but maybe just I'm just happy in my ignorance of better things

Bulma and Oggins I used to be like you once. I was hesitant to try since I didn't want a sticky spot on my nice silicone toys. But after doing some reading I decided to go for it.
On the jollies website it says
" Jollies silicone is 100% silicone and completely cross-linked so any lube can be used, even silicone based lubes. Water based lubes are easier to clean off though."

Also Metis Black of Tantus Silicone is a fan of silicone lube and has written several articles about them. link
Tantus and Pjur Eros have made experiments and found that their products a compatible.
I did write to FunFactory and asked why they say their toys are incompatible with silicone lube, if they had done any testing. I mean they do produce their own silicone lube so I figured they must have tried it on their toys but they never replied.

wow I'm blushing from all the praise the silicone transfers the vibration very well and when you have the whole set inside of you it feels wonderful.

I have to echo the bullet in the handle idea as being inspired! GREAT idea! This is by far the prettiest set of anal beads I've seen, and I want them, even though I'm not all that in to anal play!

Wow! Great pointer on the bullet in the handle! I do have to agree with Bulma on the lube thing though. I just can't bring myself to try doing this. I do know other people have tried it as you have with no problems but, I just can't......

a vibrating bullet fits nicely inside the hole in the handle.
That... is an AWESOME idea. And let me tell you, I have enough bullets to have one that would fit.

Maximus is a great lube for anal play, is water based, and glycerin free. Might be worth a try at least. I have never felt safe enough putting silicone lube on silicone toys, even if they are high quality silicone. I wouldn't want even a little damaged spot on a high end toy. Just not worth the risk for me. I am curious what silicone lube you use? Because I have not been able to find a silicone lube that I like more than Maximus. Just hoping you could point me to a really great one.
Also, I have to say that your suggestion of putting a bullet in the handle loop is genius. I don't think I would have thought of that. This toy is in my wish list, and once I do finally order it, I will be sure to try that.
