I was firstly surprised to see Beadazzle’s minimal packaging. Its thin, polymer box only contained the Beadazzle, covered in a plastic hood. The front of the packaging lists “Beadazzle Anal Toy” in art deco style graffiti. That’s really about it. You are on your own to experiment with this funky looking elastomer toy.

When I opened the packaging, I was surprised to feel how smooth the Beadazzle felt. Not too slippery, not too adhesive. It does not have a strong scent. Nor did my pearly little surprise have any defects, scratches, dents, or imperfections of any sort. The tip is slender, tapered for a comfortable insertion. Better yet, I found it fun for playful experimentation with the rim of my anus and could easily imagine equally fun play with the outer wall of the vagina as well [editor's note: elastomer is porous material, so cover with a condom, especially for sharing between these two genital areas or multiple people].

The other features of notable mention on Beadazzle are its rotation and vibration functionality. For the minimal design of the Beadazzle, there is a single sliding scale control for both rotations and vibrations. When you turn the power up, however, the Beadazzle buzzes with excitement (and buzzes loudly!) but rotates no faster than its median setting. As I said, I was a little worried about the shoddy packaging and how that might reflect in the quality of the product, and the weak vibrations support my skepticism. I was really shocked to feel how much vibration was being produced near Beadazzle’s motor, but very little oomph was ultimately transferred to the portions of this anal probe you insert.

I would say this mid-priced anal probe is hardly a double for an anal vibrator|Anal vibrators. I found the massive beads to be a functional probe, but too uncomfortable for much fun. Also, the vibrations and rotations simply were not satisfactory (especially with the noise this poor, little over-worked toy makes!). While I cannot say this toy rocked my world, there are certain aspects of Beadazzle that were incredibly pleasurable, though its penetrative purpose left something to be desired.
