L'Amour premium silicone beaded probe - anal probe by Cal Exotics - review by travelnurse

Use

Anal Probe! For use alone or with a partner. It could be used vaginally but I don’t see it being a big hit for vaginal penetration. The balls are tapered and not that big in diameter. This product could simulate DP for those who are inexperienced. When dealing with anal play remember to go slow and use lots of lube.

Material/Texture

The beaded probe is made of silicone. Non-porous, latex free, and phthalate free. It’s hypoallergenic. Silicone has an Eden safety rating of 10. It’s a food-safe/medical grade material. Silicone warms up to body temperature and holds the warmth longer than any other material, such as hard plastic. It has no scent to it, and fresh from the package it has no taste. This probe comes in PURPLE!! And of course the obligatory pink. I got the purple one, it’s actually more of a lavender.

The L’Amour Premium Silicone Beaded Probe is smooth, and free of texture. There is a slight non-raised seam on both sides of the beads. This seam is not raised at all and cannot be felt with insertions. The probe is slightly flexible, but doesn’t cause any issues with insertion.

Design/Shape/Size

The Beaded Probe is 6 ¾” long, 5” insertable, 4” circumference, and 11/4” in diameter. There are 5 graduated beads, the smallest being approximately ½ inch across; the 2nd bead is ¾ inch, the 3rd bead is 7/8th inch, the 4th bead is 1 inch, and the largest top bead is approximately 1 1/4inch across. Each of the beads are slightly off-center. Compared to the Anal 101 intro beads, these are significantly larger. (I have also done a review on those). I had a sensation of being much “fuller” with the Beaded probe.

The end of the probe has a “hook” that you can insert your finger into for control of the beaded probe. This is slightly flexible but I have a hard time seeing this straightening out. It works for insertion and movement of the probe in and out of the anus.

Care/Maintenance

The beaded probe is made of silicone. Silicone toys can be used with water based lubes. If you use silicone or hybrid (mixed silicone) lube it can degrade your toys. You can perform a patch test on the toy by applying a small amount of silicone lube to an area on the toy and see how it interacts and what happens after you remove the lube. Some reviews show that the silicone toys become discolored. Because of my respect for my toys I only used water based lubes.

The beaded probe is easily cleaned with toy cleaner, toy wipes, antibacterial soap and water, or a 10% bleach solution. It can be boiled or it can be placed in your dishwasher. Be sure to rinse off any of the cleaning solutions. It is also suggested not to “soak” your toys in cleaners or alcohol because it can degrade the silicone.

When using any anal toys, if you also use the toy for vaginal use be sure to clean thoroughly in between insertions.

With storage, don’t store silicone toys or jelly toys together because they can adhere to each other.

This toy is not discreet, if you plan on having it in your carry on, TSA will definitely know what it is. I’m sure TSA has all kinds of stories to tell.

Packaging

The packaging for the beaded probe is not discreet. It comes in a clear plastic box with "L’Amour Premium Silicone Beaded Probe" on the front. It states “pure silicone." On the back, there are the following statements: “Uniquely and Elegantly Shaped,” “Hygienically Superior Silicone," “Pliable and Durable," “Curved End for Easy Retrieval," “Designed to the Highest Standard and Purity and Quality."

This "Probe" has given me a great sensation of "fullness," which was quite satisfying if do I say so myself. Since I have no experience in DP, I would say this is the closest that I have ever come. My wonderful husband inserted these while performing oral on me and at first they seemed to be a little large. After a clitoral orgasm or two my body seemed more receptive. I enjoyed my husband popping the largest ball in and out. Then he went for vaginal penetration. This was quite overwhelming initially, but became quite pleasurable. I made noises that I have never made before. Trust me, it wasn't a bad experience at all. I cannot speak to how these would work for a person with anal play experience but, I will be finding out!!

I have continued to use these and love these beads. They are easy to insert and love that popping sensation when they are removed! Be sure to use lots of lube and go slow.
