LuvBeads - anal beads by Cal Exotics - review by MissMandy

This toy has an obvious, specific use, and it is very well made for said use. These heart shaped anal beads taper beautifully, go in smooth, and have enough space in between to really hold their place. They're firm but flexible, just as I like my anal toys. They'd be good for a beginner (just make sure to use some lube), but they're fun for more advanced users, as well. These little beauties are so inexpensive, they'd also make great novelties for bachelorette parties.

The only issue with these, of course, is that they're not the highest grade of material, so sharing them would not be the best idea. Sanitizing them is not possible as it would be with glass or silicone, so you probably shouldn't share with partners. That said, they cost so little that you could just get one for each lovely member of your personal harem and no one would need to share, anyway. ;)

These anal beads are really pretty. I've not seen the clear nor the blue in person, but the purple ones are far prettier in person than in the pictures. They have a pinkish-red hue to them and they're just lovely. I'm not usually even really a fan of purple, really, but these are an exception to that rule.

They're firm but flexible, which is just what you want in a nice lengthier anal toy. There is no double mold flashing on these as you might see with some other toys of this sort, so they're extra smooth. That's one plus with this material. A negative is that it doesn't receive the highest health grade, so sharing would be a no-no, but they're inexpensive; just buy one in every color.

I definitely recommend these for beginners, but more advanced players would enjoy them as well.

These anal beads are very well designed for lots of (excuse the cheesy pun) POP! The first bead is very small and so goes in quite easily. They gradually get bigger, but the progression is more pronounced than with many other toys of this sort, so a beginner is not likely to be left wanting (though likely to be open to more very soon. *wink*)

It is also longer than some anal bead type toys you'll find out there, which is nice; you can use half of it, or you can be bold and take it all the way (as I prefer). The little hearts are ingenious; not only do they make the toy itself much cuter and more whimsical, they also make it easier to insert.

Now, as to discretion, anyone with a decent grasp on the basic construction of graduated anal beads will be able to figure out what this toy is all about. However, due to its cuteness factor, it could easily be played off as just a fun novelty item and should be fine for travel. Perhaps you're like me, and the stranger watching the bag scanner at the airport seeing your sex toys will give you a fun rush, anyway. Shoot him/her a sly wink while putting your shoes back on and enjoy the flight. Since these don't make noise, (save for that which comes out of your own mouth) take them into the bathroom with you when you get bored in transit. ;)

They're perfect for their intended use; great for beginners and fun for more advanced users, too. I love to use these in conjunction with other toys; having the heart beads in my ass while my pussy is filled with one of my favorite dildos or vibrators gets me there quickly every time.

This toy has a low health grade. It can't be sanitized, so you wouldn't really want to share it. They're inexpensive, though, so just buy one for each of your playmates and have no worries. Clean with warm water and a mild soap, or with a toy cleaner sold on Edenfantasys. Store anywhere you like, just be sure to clean before and after use.

It was packaged well and discreetly, with a free copy of Sexis magazine, in a reuseable box that was not overly large. And it came fast, fast, fast!
