My husband originally brought home the anal bead type that had the string with it. The bead itself had like a leftover seam that was sharp; it felt like a flipping finger nail. Good lord...we threw them out.

We took another stab at the Purple beads. What a difference! We use KY lube with it and it works wonders. It starts off with a small bead..and it gets you started. I use a vibrator to enhance the working of the beads. My husband and I talk to each other and tell one another to put another one in. Oh yeah...we have two sets, in two colors. One for him and one for me. As I get more turned on..I insert another one and another one. The sizes increase the further you go. I try to get most of them in leaving one for the grip to remove of course. The feeling that comes over me when I am full is quite amazing. At this point I climb on top of my husband and have a wonderful ride. When I have my fun on top, I start to increase his bead size. What an unreal feeling it is to have total control in this position. My hubby really enjoys the initial insertion and the gradual increase in size of the bead.

Cleaning the item is quite easy, we use soap and water. The material is hard. A silicone type material would be better and smoother. But these are beads..so what should I expect, especially for the price. I do wish there was a ring at the bottom...to help with removal, having only the bead you have to be careful not to go all the way in with them.

But all in all it is a great little toy that opens up doors for both my husband and myself.
