Anal beads are fun to play with and a great way to introduce yourself or someone else to the joys of playing with your booty. These are great to start out with for a lot of reasons, but one of the biggest I could find was the size. The first bead is small enough that even for the most hesitant person it seems doable. And from there they gradually taper up so if you take your time and lots of lube, it should be easy to thoroughly enjoy these.

The material is smooth, durable and REALLY easy to clean. When it comes to anal beads a lot of "starter sets" have string/fabric material in between the beads which is basically impossible to properly clean, especially after extended play. These however are one solid, yet flexible, piece of PVC material that doesn't have a lot of little creases for nasty bacteria to hide (although with PVC materials, they're porous to begin with enabling a buildup of bacteria if you're not careful). The durability of the pull, which is the little loop at the end, is great too - after three months or so of use on and off, I expected to see it show signs of stress, but so far, so good.

The only real draw backs I could find with these are the length and material it's made out of. While I understand the toy is designed to ease someone into anal play, for me personally the length was too much. By the time I started enjoying myself; internally things would start to get uncomfortable. As for it being PVC, toys made from this material (as I stated earlier) tend to harbor bacteria so just be careful with how long you keep it around and make sure you clean it after to every use.

Personally, I trimmed the length and I liked them a lot more after that. That's more of a personal preference though as I haven't heard of many others having the same issue.
