Ouch! Yes these beads are rough and tough. The bead material is a hard, marble like plastic. Each bead is tied on by a knot, which does not seem very secure.

I have used this toy only a few times and on every instance it tears my insides up and is very painful going in and coming out. I bleed and there is no pleasure what-so-ever in this product. It is poorly made and should not be on the market. I thought with that price it was a bargain....wrong!

It looks as though they took a string and drilled holes in large shooter marbles and tied them on. Cheap, Cheap, Cheap. Do not put this in your body, your only asking for pain and danger to your body.

Anal beads looked fun and I am sure they are. However my first anal bead experience was a nightmare and I can only hope that other bead products are better constructed and less painful to my body. My recommendation is to invest a little extra cash and buy yourself one that you will really enjoy and will safely last a very long time.

Some products that look good are the ones that are made of solid rubber and are not connected by string. Some that look good are the SinFive Alterno, and Bendybeads. Almost anything but this will do you better. In general you seem to get what you pay for. You pay cheap you usually will get cheap products, and this is a market in which you do not want to cut the corners to save a few bucks.

I will surely stay away from cheap products like this and spend more money to get something I know will be enjoyable for years to come. Play safe and have a nice day!

If you do choose to use this product and find enjoyment, make sure you use tons and tons of lube.
