I was so excited when I purchased my beads! They looked like a cute little set of beads, and they were really cheap also. Can't beat that, right? I have had a wonderful experience before, with my husband. When I finally received them, I had to hurry and open them up. My husband and I wanted to use them that night when he got home from work. So, we get all excited and start using them. We used lube at the first bead to insert them. They went in fairly easy, but were really scratchy at first. I was afraid they were going to cut my butt. We tried to trim the knot a little bit, but that did not help. After the first bead gets in though, you do not feel the knot, thankfully.

The balls were a very hard, but that was not necessarily a bad thing. We used them while I was in doggy style position. That gave him better access to the beads, to play with them. We tried going slow, and speed it up with them. We did have a lot of fun with the beads. Another thing I did not like about the beads were the string, that attached the beads.. The string was white, and got dirty easily. It was a little harder to clean the string that attached the beads, too. It would have been nice if they were made with maybe a rubber type of string.

I would most likely recommend these beads to a beginner, just because of the size. The knot at the end of the beads, may discourage beginners, though. The size of the beads went in easily, and painlessly. They were easy to remove, and i did not feel as if it was going to hurt, or get stuck, and break. That is one good thing about the string on the beads, I felt it was a good sturdy string. Beginners would really enjoy this. The beads would be too small, for intermediate people. Which is what I thought when I used them. I wish the beads were a little bigger. So, if this is your first time, or maybe one of the few times you have used beads, I would get this product. Maybe you could do something else with the little knot at the end that I could not think of.
