If you can't tell by the title, I suppose you should know now that this is going to be a mostly negative review. This product has far more negatives than it does positives. However, I will at least try to start with the few positive remarks I have about these anal beads.

The first thing that attracted me to this product is the different colors. They are inviting but not bright neon colors so they aren't bright enough to be repelling. Even though there is no mention of them being able to glow in the dark whatsoever, they have a certain odd glow about them. A few other great features include them being latex-free, hypo-allergenic, and phthalate free. Yet another attractive feature is the mostly smooth texture of the four hard/solid beads. The last positive feature is the O ring that you are able to put your finger into and hold so you can remove the beads. Since the anus is more like the 'interstate' that just keeps going and going while the vagina is more of a 'cul-de-sac' that has an end, it's important that any and everything inserted into the anus has a tapered bottom or at least some kind of ring like the one on these anal beads that makes the toy easily retrievable.

With that being said the rest of the features are just a let down and are quite frankly even very detrimental to the user's health and I'm sure no one buys a toy with the intention of having to also pay a co-pay to see a doctor from using said toy. Granted not every toy is made alike but for there to only be four (4) anal beads just seems odd since most anal beads usually feature at least five (5) beads. Also all the beads are the same size (of 1 inch in diameter and slightly over 3 inches in circumference) instead of them being graduated beads or beads that start small and get increasingly larger. So this can put someone more at risk of tearing rectal tissue from putting the large beads in initially instead of slowly easing and relaxing the sphincter with starting with smaller beads and working up to the larger ones.

The smoothness of the plastic beads differs from bead to bead. Two (2) of them were perfectly smooth while the others had a bit of a sharp edge to them. In order to fix this I ended up filing the rough edges down by using a nail filer. After that I proceeded to use silicone-based lube with them and they were fine while in use. However, any kind of lube can be used with this toy since it's made out of plastic. After use I stumbled upon yet another problem.

The biggest problem I have with these beads is that you cannot reuse them! With the nylon material between the beads you'll find all your anal bacteria gets trapped inside the sturdy 14 inch cord. It is impossible to clean and if you reuse these beads you'll likely get an infection. I tried to clean the toy by soaking the entire toy in warm and hot water. I also tried to wipe down the toy with toy cleaner and a washcloth and nothing worked. So definitely do NOT use this in your anus and then in your (or your partner's) vagina. Beginners and experienced persons alike, do NOT use these beads.
