Good for a newbie, more advanced users, look elsewhere
For a beginner, this is a fantastic toy. Cheap and basic. Great for use every once in a while. However if you want something that will last longer to use more frequently, look further, this isn't the one for you.Published: March 30, 2009
Pros:
Cheap, Small for beginners.
Cons:
Knots make it painful, hard to clean.
When I was first starting out on the adventure of anal play, I knew I wanted a set of anal beads. The thought of each of those beads going in one at a time and then slowly popping out as I came was just too exciting. I had to get some. So I decided on the Onyx Love Beads from California Exotics. They were cheap and not very big. It seemed like the perfect set to start out with. I ordered the smallest set, since I was just starting out. When they arrived, I pulled them out and examined them. It’s a pretty simple toy with a series of five beads strung on a cord with a knot on either side of each one to keep it in place and a plastic loop on one end to pull them back out with. The ends of the cord are melted together to prevent fraying.
After my thorough examination of the Love Beads, I decided it was time to take them out for a spin. After warming myself up thoroughly with lots of lube, I got the beads all slippery and began pushing each one into place. I loved the feeling of each bead as it passed my anal sphincter, bringing pleasure with each one. However with each burst of pleasure, there was a little bit of pain. As I pushed them inside, the beads would compress against the knots that keep them in place and pinch my skin between them. Not really the sensation you want, but when I discovered this problem, I quickly solved it by adding a lot more lube and making sure the knots were as close to the beads as possible as they went in.
Once I had all the beads in place, I continued on with my vibrator and dildo until just before the big O. When I was there, I found the plastic ring and pulled the beads out one at a time as the pleasure pulsed through me. Each ball slipping out of my body increased the sensation surging through my body. I didn’t notice the knots coming out as I did when they were going in. It was nothing but pure pleasure. I loved it.
For the price, this was a decent toy. It does have a couple of slight flaws, but what can you expect for $4. If you just want a toy for rare anal play, this is a perfect one for you. If you are looking for something more substantial for more frequent play, I would go for something made all of one solid material, that way you don’t have the knots to deal with. That would also make clean-up easier. With this toy, you have to make sure to get in between each knot and bead, which can be a pain.

Thank you for viewing Onyx love beads review page!



Thanks for the review! How hard were these to clean?
They were a pain in the butt to clean (no pun intended. lol)! If there happens to be any excrement left over in your cavity (sorry gross I know) then it sticks to the cord and gets inside the beads so you have to make sure you get them all clean.
kinda sounds like it migh be worth skipping these ones....
Yeah Jackhammer, they aren't that great. Good if your looking for a quick cheap toy but overall lacking in quality.
Thanks for the review! After watching Choke I figured I might give these a try and if these are for beginners wish me luck!
Lol Biggs! That movie is AMAZING! Good luck in your adventures.
I don't like knots or ropes on the beads...they are a pain in the butt to clean!
Lol yeah Mamastoys they really are. Its a little annoying. I'm gonna buy one without knots next to see how i like it.
thanks for the warning on the cleaning issue. I dont think i want to deal with that. I'll look elsewhere. Thanks!
Your welcome! I'm gonna be looking for a better toy too. Even if it costs a bit more than this one. lol.
In case anyone was curious, after using these I tried out the Sin Five Eltiri and they are about as perfect as anal beads come. I LOVE them. More expensive but worth every penny!
