Sex and Mischief anal beads - beads discontinued by Sportsheets - review by Peg

This string of beads is good for anyone regardless of anal experience level. The diameter of the beads makes them non-intimidating for those who are new to anal play and the length of the beads makes for longer stimulation for those who are use to anal stimulation. More experienced anal users may find the diameter on the small size, however, the number of beads keeps the popping going longer than shorter strands. The length also provides deeper internal stimulation and allows the user to find one's personal penetration limit.

The beads are rather floppy by design, which results in this not being an effective thrusting toy. Thrusting can be achieved if you hold the shaft of the toy and move at the most two beads in and out. These beads are better suited to be inserted and left in place and removed during orgasm to heighten the stimulation.

The round handle has a hole for ones finger, but it is not flared. With enough lube and a slip, the handle could wind up going in if your finger is not through the hole. One could loop some material through the handle to make a "tail" like on a kite as an extra precaution just in case it goes in further than intended.

The silicone beads are firm, but do have some give to them. The last bead is attached to the handle, which is made of plastic. There is a noticeable seam from the mold that runs the length of the toy. If toy appearance is important, then this may be a turn off for some, however, the seam was not noticeable during use. The smooth texture of the silicone should be enjoyed by anyone who enjoys smooth toys.

There are nine beads total, with the tip each pressed into the base of the next. The first bead appears to be slightly smaller, although this could be a result of it not being pressed into another bead. The shape of the tip does make for lining things up for insertion. The shape of the beads allows for smooth insertion and gives a popping sensation during removal. The shape is also reminiscent of a certain chocolate candy that is individually wrapped in foil, hence the title for the review. The bead size does make for a uniform sensation during removal. The sensation can be drawn out by removing each bead slowly or intense by fast removal. Overall, the beads are not intimidating and the insertable length means that the sensations can be varied over a wide range. The flexibility of the toy allows it to be rolled into a small circle, so it does not require a lot of room if one were to travel with it.

The length of these beads makes them extremely versatile. For the beginner, there is lot of room to grow with the toy. As the comfort level increases with anal play, the toy has more to offer. For the more experienced users, the length is a great way to determine if they are ready for even more length. Additionally, for those who are not sure what their depth limit is, these beads can help figure that out without having to deal with girth that usually accompanies the longer toys.

Being made of silicone, water based lubes are best. According to the manufacturer, they are made of food-grade material, hypo-allergenic, latex free, non-porous, and phthalates free. Anti-bacterial soap and water with a good scrubbing gets them clean and we did not notice any nooks or crannies that made it difficult to clean. It is a good idea to make sure it is completely dry before storing them away.

The beads are packaged in a blister pack in the shape similar to a question mark. Makes one wonder if that was intentional and ask, what do you plan to do with those? The back of the package has a black and white image of a woman in a G-string, high heels, and hose with a short story that implies some anal play. The woman also just happens to have the beads dangling in her right hand. The package can be used to store the beads to keep them lint free, but it is a tight seal, hence the make sure they are dry comment earlier in the review. There is also a QR code that can be scanned for more information and videos.
