X - 10 beads - anal beads by Cal Exotics - review by Hannah Savage

Don't be fooled by the smaller beads, they provide a lot of stimulation and pleasure for their size. The lengthened spacing between each bead provided a little bit of "wiggle room" for additional stimulation. I found that I did not need anything further than the first 5 beads because this toy is quite long. Personally I enjoyed using this very much, and keep it for special occasions while masturbating or during partner sex.

This was the first anal toy I have purchased, and I feel that these made a pleasant introduction for me to the back-door of the sex world. I used these with ID Millennium lubricant, and took my time relaxing in between inserting each bead. The sensations were thrilling, I must admit. When slowly removing them during orgasm it provided toe-curling ecstasy that I have never experienced before.

Thankfully I did not notice any sort of odd plastic smell from this toy. The beads are smooth, firm and moderately flexible. It was more stiff than I expected for a jelly toy, but I pleasantly found that this allowed for more manual stimulation. Because of the graduated sizes, it is great for a beginner like me. However, don't feel rushed to take all 10 beads as it is quite long, and always use plenty of lubricant (water and silicone-based).

The only drawback I have really experienced from this product is that I wish it were made from a safer material. Jelly cannot be sterilized like silicone, and it must be noted that there is a big difference between these two materials. It cannot be boiled so gently wash with soap and water after every use. Jelly may contain phthalate, small cracks may develop, and it should never be shared unless used with a condom. It should also be noted that jelly toys generally have a shorter "life" to them, and people with latex allergies can sometimes have a reaction to this material.
