These Beginner anal beads are for your bum, or both men and women who want explore anal stimulation. As I read on the forum, "go slow and use lots of lube". Good advise. They should not be used back and forth from the vagina to anus. They are for anal play.

If you are going to share with anyone be sure to use a condom. These can be used alone, with a partner and in combination with other toys. They can also be used for couple play with vaginal intercourse and have your lover slowly "pop" them out. These are for newbies, I like them and I think I will be moving on soon. But for now they are one of my favorites. One nice feature of these beads is that if the larger beads are too much for you, only insert them as far as you can tolerate. They can be pushed in and out during intercourse, adding to the sensations.

These beads are made out of Jelly. They have a material safety of 2 so not very safe for sharing. They are porous, hard to sanitize. Mine are for me only - I wont share. If you want to share please use a condom to prevent the spread of anything icky. They can be washed with toy sprays, wipes, antibacterial soap and water. These beads should be used with a water based lubricant, use lots and have a towel handy for your first usages. The jelly does have a plastics smell to it or even rubbery type of odor. The beads themselves are smooth, there is a slight seam that is not noticeable with use.

I like this design with the graduated beads. Previously years ago I had tried the beads on the string. YUCK, it was literally a string that had balls on it. The balls all bunched up at your anal opening and then the string contained fecal matter. Notice how I said I'm a beginner now, those didn't get me enticed. The smallest bead is the diameter of a AAA battery. The largest bead is the diameter of a quarter. If you get out a quarter and use your index finger and thumb to make a circle, that's how big it is. The beads are separated by a shaft slightly smaller than the smallest bead. The shaft area is 1/2 inch between each of the beads. Total length is 9 3/4", insertable length is 8". There are a total of 8 beads. At the end is a nice, 1 1/2" ring. That way they wont go missing, and you or your partner can pull them out or push them in as you desire. The toy has a gradual curve to it, it is uncomfortable if you put them in "backwards". I tried it, didn't work out too well.

As I mentioned earlier, the beads have a curve, to go with your natural curve. I enjoyed using these, placing them has become part of our foreplay and then with intercourse they go in and out. I enjoy the "popping" sensations with the large beads. I used lots of lube and there is no pain issues.

The beads are easy to clean, no ridges or hidden areas. I used antibacterial soap and leave them to air dry. I only use water based lubes and there are no compatibility issues with the jelly. I do store these beads away from any other jelly or any other toys for that matter because I don't want any contamination if they aren't properly cleaned. Jelly toys can adhere to each other if stored together.

The beads came in a clear plastic package. Nothing exceptional about it.

As a beginner (for the 2nd time around) I really enjoy these beads and have been using them alot in the past 2 months. It has become part of out foreplay. I think these are becoming my gateway drug to more anal play. My husband enjoys using them with me because he's been trying to get in the back door for years.
