First, it was shaped a little differently then I was expecting. They were all perfectly circular, but there’s a lot of nylon rope between each of the relatively small spheres (only about the size of a large marble). What struck me most was the soft fabric rope between each sphere and the hard plastic mold along the sides, not really a good sign or combination. Regardless of my suspicions that this toy might be a onetime only run, I slipped into my play mode. Unfortunately, as I feared, you can feel the harsh mold edge pretty clearly. There’s probably a way to slip it in so you don’t feel it as much but I’m not sure how that secret slide works yet. Anyway, once inside they’re pretty comfortable, albeit small and a little hard to notice by themselves. At first I tried it with nothing but the beads inside. It was pretty stimulating, but not the big shock I was hoping or expecting when I pulled them out at the height of arousal.

I threw caution to the wind and decided to try them a second time (after a bit of cleaning of course), but with a toy mixed in. Just a little curved plug that cupped around one of the beads surprisingly well. Rocking the toy back and forth to move and rub the beads around felt much more amazing then the beads all alone. If you like multiple sensations, I definitely suggest using the beads with something else, by themselves they aren’t all that amazing. Something to big isn’t that great though because they don’t really shift or straighten all that much so it can hurt a little with a full sized dildo.

My opinion is that, while nice, you pretty much get what you pay for. The cord can be a little tough since the knot is in on the outside which means it can make the bead uncomfortable going it. The beads have hard plastic seams along the sides and the rope seems like it wouldn’t clean to well given the material it’s made of. I don’t think I could really suggest using this toy more than once due to how porous it is. I suppose it could be used multiple times if it was wrapped in a condom though.

Just don’t expect too much from this toy and you’ll be fine. If you want a long term partner, something a little more expensive that’s either machine washable or silicone would probably be a safer bet. Something a little pricier is probably not going to have seams or give you a problem with nylon knots either.
