Anal 101 Intro Beads is specifically designed for anal use. Its easy to use, just lube it up and stick each bead in one at a time! Anal 101 Intro Beads is a suitable choice for beginning anal training. Due to its size, color, and a temptation to stick it in the ass. The beads are wonderful, best if used by yourself first and somewhere relaxing, especially if your a complete newbie to anal anything like I was. Because this toy is made out of jelly, its not exactly the best toy to use as far as materials go. I suppose it's not the worst on the list, but jelly material makes it hard to keep clean, and likely to cause infections if not cleaned properly.

The material used to make this toy is at a rating of two, which means the hygienic quality of this toy’s material is poor. The toy is made of jelly that is firm using PVC, but has been softened to give it the rubbery, smooth, and flexible properties. The material often contains potentially harmful and allergenic chemicals, phthalates and latex, making the toy very porous. The downside to the use of these chemicals is it’s easy to trap nasty buggers into the material making it difficult to sterilize. However, the toy is easy to clean, because of its shape. Sadly it is impossible to free this toy from all microorganisms, but disinfection and sanitization should be enough to keep you safe. So long as you clean the toy properly, and use it only for its intended use. That is what I recommend.

I loved the design of this toy as well as the color choices. I got the pink one, and nicknamed it "Rosy Quarts" The toy has four color options being pink, clear, purple, or blue. It features eight beads connected with slender firm tubes. The 1" circumfrence tubes that connect each bead give you a 1/2" break to breathe and relax until your ready to push another bead through. The beads gradually increase, the first being 1" in cirumfrence and the last bead 2 3/4" in circumfrence. The size of these beads makes it suitable for beginners; the beads aren't intimidating at all. The length of the toy is 9 3/4", 8 inches of it is insertable. The toy ends with the retrieval ring with a 1 3/4" diameter; It's big enough to fit atleast two fingers through to pull out the beads.

When I purchased these beads I made certain that I had lots of lubricant to use. Rectum tissue is very thin, and prone to tearing, and lubrication makes the insertion easier. I found it most comfortable to use a lot of lubrication both on the beads and my anus. The first three beads were easy to insert; I didn't experience a popping feeling with them until the fourth bead. Once all the beads were inside I found it quite arousing as I let my body relax. The more relaxed you are the better it will feel. Seeing as it was my first experience, my body was very sensitive to the feeling of these beads inside my rectum, and this new sensation made it easy to become horny. It was easy to reach climax with clitoral stimulation while having these beads helping me out. The new feeling was erotic, in a kinky kind of way. When I did reach orgasm I tugged on the retrieval cord to slowly pull out the beads one by one. This made all the difference with my experience, and it was very satifying!

I didn't use the beads for anything other than anal play. I don't plan on to either, but I suppose if a condom was used on the toy it could be used vaginally. Men can use the anal beads too; these beads aren't sexist. So everyone can enjoy!

The best way to keep this toy clean is using mild soaps and warm water. Lather, rinse, repeat! I only recommend using this on one person, that means don't share! Because it can't be sterilized, I recommend putting some kind of a barrier, such as a condom, over this toy if sharing it with another's bum bum. Use tons of lubricant, I can't say this enough. Friction is bad for rectal tissue, and it causes tears. When I use Anal 101 Intro Beads I drown it in water based lubricant. Silicone can be used too, if preferred. Both lubricant types are compatible with jelly material anyway. I admit, when I used this toy it would often come out with a little yuck on the connection tubing behind a bead. Just make sure to wash it before and after every use. You don't want an infection from failure to stop the tranmission process. The best way to prevent an infection is to store it in a dark cool place. It's not very big and it bends, so it should be easy to store! I put mine in a small drawer to keep it out of sight.

The packaging was very simple. Plastic, clear, and with labeling of manufacturer. "Slim and sized for the novice" is found on the lower right corner of the front side. No instruction came with the packaging.

I used these beads so ritually in the shower when I first got them. I was eager to get my body use to the feeling of having something up inside my ass, and to get ready for bigger and better things. Let's just say a certain someone got jealous and decided I was ready to move on after a weekend of consecutive use!

I did forget to mention that this toy can be used by couples. Double penetration felt very erotic to me, partly because I've never experienced any thing like this before. I guess that's why I wanted to write this review so bad. It was wonderful!

I suppose a man could use these beads with his partner too. I hadn't thought of this before but the partner could give some oral, or other kind of stimulation to him and pull the beads out at the guy's climax.

I wanted something to make this experience fun and drive away my misconceptions of anal play. After I opened the Anal 101 Intro Bead's package, I wanted to start training right away. I have to admit that these beads made the whole idea more exciting. After lots of lube and perseverance I was able to insert all 8" of the anal beads toy. I found it easier for my man to pull it out during my orgasm than me, that way I get to relax and enjoy. I was only able to tug out two beads going solo, the body tends to tense up too much to do anything during orgasm. This toy made a big increase in my pleasure. I admit to orgasms being more intense; It was very enjoyable solo and with my husband.
