Ophoria a-chain - beads discontinued by Lover's Choice Inc. - review by Undead

Ophoria a-chain is a 100% body safe silicone anal toy. It can be used by either males or females. You can wear them while having sex or masturbating. You could also insert them and walk around with them in if you wanted.
There are 6 oval shaped beads on the strand that gradually get larger as you reach the pull ring. The pull ring is wide enough that it won't get "sucked up" in.

Anal beads give you a popping sensation when you pull them out. They also can heighten and drag out an orgasm depending on how fast you pull them out. The beads can be felt when inserted but they are still small enough at the largest end to be fine for beginners. People that aren't new to beads or like girth will not be satisfied with these. The measurements are:
Length: 10"
Insertable length: 7 1/2"
Circumference: 3"
Diameter: 1"
They are comfortable for a female to wear while having PIV intercourse or for the male to wear. For the females it adds in a whole new sensation to wear the beads while having sex and can be very pleasurable.

They are easier to insert with a partner's help but you can do it on your own as well. They go in easiest with lubricant, the amount you need depends on your own preference/body. You should only use a water based lubricant with these beads since they are made of silicone. It is easier to insert one at a time while having a firm grip on the stand.
The beads are 100% body safe and can be shared between partners because silicone can be sterilized. They are also hypoallergenic, non-porous, phthalates and latex free.
The silicone is soft and velvety to the touch. Lubricant helps with insertion. It has a seam down the beads on the top/bottom going down but it isn't pronounced enough to feel or to hurt you.

It is easy to clean the beads. You can use a mild soap and warm water, toy cleaner, wipes, 10% bleach solution or boil them. They can pick up hairs and other particles so you will want to store them in a place where they will be protected from that stuff.

The beads come with an insert that gives instructions for use/care and explains the design of the beads. It also includes an access code to enter on the manufacturers website for bonus tips and techniques to use with your beads.

These are good for beginners to try due to the size gradually increasing. The material is safe but requires a lot of lube and relaxation to get in which is something my partner has trouble doing. Maybe anal beads just aren't for us but it was worth a try and we didn't want to use jelly. I'm not sure how to rate how we feel about them, no fault of them so we are going to give it a positive vote. It takes practice for some people.
