I think this toy is well suited for beginners. When it's being inserted, you undoubtedly get the sensation that something is moving inside you. The differently sized and shaped beads let you easily feel this movement. I say this toy is well suited for beginners because although it is long, it's also a thin toy; you can insert it however far in you feel comfortable with going. Unfortunately, one of the biggest reasons to own any anal beads is lacking in this toy. Even at their widest, the beads are not very thick. There is no space between each bead for your anus to close around. Some of the better sensations produced by anal beads is when you insert or remove a bead and face the resistance of your sphincter muscles; that does not happen with this toy. Additionally, you are never able to close around this toy as you can with a plug while you keep it in for extended wear.

Even for more experienced users, this toy will not insert all the way due to its length. For me, when I had it in as far as it would comfortably go, a few inches of the toy were still sticking out. While this may not be very discreet under clothing, it did provide a great sensation. If you're sleeping with it in, or walking around, or even wearing this toy under clothing, you can feel the rest of it moving around and conforming to the space available. I have enjoyed twisting and rotating it so that it will fit snugly within my underwear. I also enjoy sitting down with the end of the toy sticking out, that part will come in contact with the chair first and will bend, and move the inserted portion with it.

This toy is made of high-quality pink silicone. There is no detectable ridge on the toy. As shown in the product page photo, this is a string of small beads that are round and diamond-shaped. Although the string of beads is flexible, the material is firm, which makes it easy to insert. You can easily bend and manipulate the toy in any direction.

The Silicone Beads is a long and slender anal toy. The beads vary from round to diamond in shape. While inserting or removing this toy, the differences between the shapes for sure generate a sensation of motion. However, I wish that the beads had some spacing between them as this toy would not give your sphincter a chance to close around each bead. As this is a long string of anal beads, I cannot comfortably insert the entire toy. I would still have several inches of beads sticking out of me even if I pushed them inside as far as possible. Since I can feel that part of the toy wiggling around as I move, I truly enjoy the stimulation. Additionally, if I put an underwear over it or sit down on something, the exposing part of the toy bends and creates a pleasurable sensation.

I have tried to insert the end of the Silicone Beads into my anus, on the flip side, literally! I was able to insert the retrieval ring, but I could not get the toy any further inside because of its shape. I am not particularly recommending this act — I just want to point out this is a possible attempt.

I found this toy to be as advertised as far as length and width go. It was certainly longer than I was able to insert comfortably. I found that the rest of the toy, plus the retrieval handle would stick out for several inches. I like that sensation because it allows me to feel that the toy is there. When I'm walking around, it wiggles somewhat. When I'm sitting, or sleeping, or wearing clothes over it, the toy has to bend to conform to my body, which is a great sensation.

What I perceive as the downside to this toy is that there is no space between each 'bead'. Which means that my anus is unable to close after each bead is inserted. With anal beads, I like being able to apply pressure to the toy as I'm inserting and removing it, which leads to a pleasurable experience. Because there is no space between the beads, this sensation is completely lost. Sure, I feel that something with beads of several different shapes and sizes is inside my ass, but I do not feel anything more than that from this toy.

Being a silicone toy, it is very easy to clean and maintain. I just wash it with soap and warm water. If I'm taking a shower, I will take it in with me and give it a more thorough rinse off. You can sanitize this toy by boiling as well as put it in the dishwasher.

The packaging is fairly straightforward here. You can store the toy in the box it came in, which has a plastic container that keeps the toy bent in the form of a 'U' shape. When removing the toy, it straightens out.
