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

I am very disappointed that these have been discontinued and I'll be keeping an eye out for a similar product. These are excellent beads for beginners to anal play due to their reasonable, small size. If you're already experienced in anal play and tend to go for a little more girth, these beads might be disappointing for you. The very first bead is maybe a half-inch across and is pleasantly tapered to slide right into you. The remaining beads are comfortably spaced and increase in size ever so gradually. The length of these beads is really more intimidating to me than anything else, coming in at about 8.5" long I don't often find myself taking them all.

These beads are made of silicone, so they are essentially odorless and feel smooth to touch. They are pretty easy to keep clean with hot water and soap, the worst part is trying to get clingy lube from around all of the curves. I store them wrapped in a lint-free cloth in my toy bag, they are incredibly low maintenance. The packaging in which these arrived was a little bit hokey, especially with the Fifty Shades of Gray design, but the beads arrived undamaged so I just tossed the plastic clam shell and insert out and haven't looked back.

These are fun beads to use and easy to get revved up with. I like to use them solo as a precursor to anal play, especially because of their smaller size. It is nice to have something smaller to warm up with and they are definitely a good indicator of whether or not you will have clean anal play later on! They are a sturdy toy that I am glad to have in my toy bag, and they have turned me on to a new side of anal play that I didn't know I enjoyed. I'll be looking for a larger set of beads to supplement these beauties!
