The acrylite beads are specified as anal beads, but don't be fooled! In fact, after using them, I prefer them vaginally. For one, the size is perfectly suited for this use and they're incredibly easy to get in, even without any extra lube other than your body's natural lubrication. For another, the nylon cord makes me wary to put this any closer to my bottom than there. Don't get me wrong, I did try it and it worked wonderfully, but it required a super cleaning before they would be going anywhere else. I feel much safer using these vaginally, even though the cleaning is still quite a piece of work.

These are made of smooth hard plastic attached with a sturdy nylon cord, and as such have no taste or smell. The beads have a visible seam on them but you can't feel it during insertion. The nylon, on the other hand, has knots to hold the beads in place, and the last one has been melted down at the end to prevent fraying. It's somewhat pokey so I'd suggest soaking it to soften it up before you use it, or to take extreme care when inserting to make sure you don't scratch up your insides.

If you see any flaws in the nylon or any cracks in the beads, discontinue use immediately.

There are four beads in all and one ring at the end for easy removal. The length of the whole thing laid out is sixteen inches. The beads are perfectly round and 3-1/4" in circumference, about the size of a standard gumball, maybe a little bigger. They're not too heavy, but you can definitely feel them; the whole thing weighs about 0.2lb. As such they're a pretty manageable size for anal play even for beginners, as long as you're lubed up plenty. For vaginal, they're perfectly manageable by anyone. Since they're plastic you could get away with these being in your carry-on, and they're pretty small and easy to hide.

I didn't think these beads would be all that pleasurable, to be perfectly honest, when I first saw their size. I thought they would be too small to feel good. I was pleasantly surprised that I could feel each arc of them inside of me, and even so they're incredibly comfortable. Easy to insert as well, either vaginally or anally with a bit of lubrication. The 'popping' sensation they give as they're pulled out is incredibly pleasurable. I found that pulling gently on the ring repeatedly instead of popping them out one by one or quickly was what turned me on the most, although those other functions are great as well.

With just a little squirming you can feel them move inside of you, and if you position them correctly one of them will be bound to rub up against your g-spot or p-spot. It feels like a smooth caress, slowly stroking you towards a lovely orgasm.

These beads are pretty hard to take care of because of the nylon cord and the cavities in the beads through which the nylon runs. For maximum safety I soak these beads in a 10% bleach solution immediately after use for ten minutes and rinse them thoroughly under warm water, then air dry. Being plastic they're compatible with all sorts of lubricants. To store, I keep them in their own sealed bag after making sure they're completely dry. You can't be too careful.

The beads came packaged in a plastic clamshell case with a paper insert. It has a naked woman on both sides so it's not exactly discreet. It's not particularly informative and boasts that these beads are "hygienically superior" which I'm having serious trouble believing.
