As an avid anal bead user, it took a while to find something as comfortable as these beads for all day use. Not only could I use these beads in the bedroom with my girlfriend, I was also able to use them for all day anal stretching.

It obviously takes a lot of lube to get prepped for something like this, but I wore these balls for five hours on the first day I got them without any hesitation. The material is soft enough to not be noticeable once it has been in there for a few hours!

The smell right out of the box was a little off-putting. It smelled "generic." That's not necessarily a complaint about this toy in particular, more so toys in general. I was able to rinse it off (which you should do anyway) and it was all good to go. The texture is very soft. I've had toys where you can see and feel the mold marks from when the toy was pressed. That's not the case here.

These balls are bigger. They're definitely not for beginner users. I liked the size of these balls, as they were much easier to keep in my ass all day than entry level balls. My girlfriend and I have been slowly stretching each others' asses for a few months and these balls were the next best size up. Shape wise, they're exactly what you'd expect. The balls are tethered to the string to make it easy to pull them out when you're either worn out or need to go to the bathroom. Design wise I'd give it a 4/5. Nothing too fancy, just what you'd expect.

This toy is a great intermediate anal bead set. It's a little too big for beginners and not quite big enough for those who have a lot of experience back there. I was able to wear these beads for most of the afternoon without any chafing or discomfort. I'm stretched pretty well back there, so it was nice that the contour of these beads helped them stay inside me for long periods of time.

The downside that I came across may be that there aren't enough beads. As an experienced anal experimenter, I was able to get all 5 beads in without any trouble. I wish there were 6 or 7 beads on the string to make things a bit more challenging.

Definitely easy to take care of. The material is latex and just needs some simple soap and water to keep clean. You also have the option of boiling the toy for a few minutes at a time or putting it into your dishwasher on the top rack. After a thorough scrubbing with soap and water, it smelled fresh and was put back into an anal toy bag we have in our bedroom.

I noticed it was able to pick up pieces of lint pretty easily, but a quick rinse before use should get rid of the problem.

I'll be honest, the box isn't much to write home about. If you're planning on giving this as a gift, I'd find a better box to package the beads in. The box is a simple plastic package with a scantily clad female on the front. There aren't any frills about the way the toy is presented. It's what's inside that counts!

As an anal lover, this toy definitely made me more comfortable with wearing beads for an extended period of time. For use in the bedroom, it's also a lot of fun. It's easy to forget that the beads are inside of you because of how few of them there are, but if you're just getting into the next stage of anal exploration, these are the beads to get.

When my girlfriend and I first used these beads, we were a little hesitant to give them a try. They were bigger than anything we'd used up to this point, but once we opened the packaging and got them cleaned off and ready for use, they didn't seem as intimidating. With a little bit of warm up and plenty of lube, they slid right into me. I wore them around town for a few errands that I had to do and about 2 hours into the adventure, I'd virtually forgotten they were there.

I made it back home ready to show my girlfriend what my ass looked like and she too was eager to get down to business. It had been about three hours since we first put the beads in and my ass was already getting used to their size. We were both comfortable and familiar with entry level bead sizes, and these were supposed to be the next step up between beads and a dildo or something similar. Having used a dildo once or twice before, I can honestly say that these beads didn't really make much difference in making the transition between beads and dildo easier. They felt good while they were inside of me, but I didn't feel like they were a huge "stepping stone" for my anal training. They felt bigger, yes, but not so much bigger that they were unmanageable. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a little bit of a bigger fill back there, but not a huge leap in size to continue anal training.
