I bought the bendybeads to replace another set of anal beads I had. They looked beautiful on pictures but as an anal novice I was a bit intimidated by the size. The beads are 10.43" in length and the biggest bead is 1.38" in diameter. When my beads arrived they were every bit as attractive as seen on pictures. The design is lovely and they are made from non porous good quality silicone. The handle is nice and sturdy. I think one needs to hack at it with an ax to brake it. They are smooth and firm to the touch and the bendybeads|Bendybeads - Probe by Fun Factory are indeed bendy. Very much so. Which I have found to be a plus. Since the beads are made from 100% medical grade silicone they are easy to clean and sterilize. Wash with soap and water, toss them in the dishwasher or boil them for a few minutes. The packaging is nice, no naked ladies, always a plus, and they come with a little user guide pamphlet and a sample of water based lube.

But down to business. Me and my significant other were very eager to try out our new toy. There was a bit of foreplay and then some fucking until I was nice and relaxed. I had a vibrator on my clit while my boyfriend started with one finger in my ass and then slowly inserted the beads one at a time. He didn't have any problems with the flexibility of the beads which I have read others complain about. I made him stop after the first 4 beads. I felt stuffed and the 5th bead was too much for me at the time. He started to fuck me doggy style and soon I had a big orgasm and my boyfriend followed shortly after.

Since then my bendybeads have become a stable in our sex life. If I'm having problem climaxing I just insert the beads and go over the edge in no time. My boyfriend loves feeling the beads in my ass move against his dick while fucking me. Especially in the missionary position when I have my legs on his shoulders so he can thrust deep. The beads massage the underside of his dick which he finds extremely stimulating.

I would recommend Bendy Beads for experienced anal players and also novices wanting to take the next step up in size. Because of the flexibility they are not good for thrusting. Rather just to insert and then pull out at the right moment.

After some experimenting I have found that to comfortably insert all five beads it's best to have warmed up and relaxed enough to be able to insert two fingers comfortably. Also a vibrating bullet fits nicely inside the hole in the handle. The silicone transmits the vibrations very well and this helps relax the sphincter muscle enabling me to take in the last bead. Because the beads are so flexible my boyfriend tells me it's best to hold and push on the bead you are trying to insert, it won't work to just push on the handle.

Also since this is a silicone toy fun factory the manufacturer will tell you to only use water based lube with your toy. However I am a fan of silicone lubes (the glycerin in water based lubes and my vagina don't get along) and after some thorough research and testing on my silicone toys I have found out that premium silicone lube and 100% medical grade silicone toys can play nicely together. Although cleanup is harder than with water based lube. Not all silicone lubes and silicone toys go together so if you are going to try silicone lube please do a small patch test first. If it gets all sticky and the lube needs to be scraped off the toy then the toy and lube are NOT compatible.

I would like to add a little instructions on cleaning silicone lube off a silicone toy. This is taken from the Jollies website

"Silicone based lubes require a complete wipe down of the Jollie with a dry cloth to remove the oil build up. Further oil build up can be removed using a “citrus” based degreaser cleaner or wipe."
