Advanced Anal Beads 101 are the upgraded version of the Anal 101 Beads. This product comes from the makers Shane's World and California Exotics. These advanced anal beads are not, in my opinion, for the advanced user. The beads are made of a smooth, almost latex feeling material. The anal beads are flexible which can be easy to move while the beads are inside of you. The beads range in diameter from 0.25" to a little less than 1" in diameter. The length of this toy is 12-1/2" with an insertable length of 10-3/4". The beads come with a handy retrieval ring, but I wouldn't call it exactly sturdy. They can come in blue, orange, or pink colors which are delightful to the eye.

The beads are made of a material called TPE. It is more porous than silicone but less porous than jelly. There isn't a string that connects the beads like most anal beads, so it makes for easier cleaning. Since the toy is made of TPE, the beads can not be sterilized (boiled). They can only be cleaned with a toy cleaner or antibacterial soap and water. Since the toy can not be boiled, the toy can still carry bacteria even after being cleaned which can cause some worry to most people. For anal toys, sterilization is a must. This toy can be used with any lubrication and should be covered if you're going to share with a partner for health reasons.

The sensations of this toy are definitely pleasurable for anyone. But since the beads are on the smaller side, this toy is not, in my opinion, for the advanced users as the name of it states. This toy would be great for any beginner, but advanced users should definitely look elsewhere for bigger and better beads.

So after having this product for a month or so, I had used it only a handful of times. Overall, I liked the advanced anal beads, but I am stating that I do not like it anymore because it could not be sterilized. Anything that is inserted anally should be sterilizable, and this wasn't. I loved the feel of the beads, although they definitely were not "advanced," but the risk of bacteria outweighs the pleasure.
