This is an adorable set of anal beads. They are black and soft and velvety with some squish and give in the beads and quite a bit of stretch in the "string" that holds them together. The grip part is shaped like a heart and very comfortable to hold with one or two fingers.

They came in a plastic bag with zero information or care instructions. On the site, it states that these are 100% silicone. Silicone is an amazing material for sex toys: it is body safe, can be sanitized and gets pretty slick when lubed up. Silicone is compatible with all but silicone lubricants (silicone is sometimes not harmed by silicone lubricants, but should be patch-tested first).

These little beads can be cleaned with boiling water, 10% bleach solution, toy cleaner or soap and water. One of the nicest things about these beads is that they can be sanitized so easily and don't attract as much lint as some silicones.

The whole set measures 9.5 inches with 7.5 of those inches being 6 insertable beads. The beads are kind of spade-shaped with 6 little ribs on each. The top one is only slightly smaller than the bottom one, so they are graduated but not by much. The smallest bead is a 1/2 inch and the largest is 3/4 of an inch. Roughly, the difference between my pinky finger and my thumb.

I am an intermediate butt-player, and these are simply too small for me to feel very much. The not-huge difference in the sizes and how small they are mean that these are much better suited for people who are new to butt-play and/or know that they have a preference for smaller things in their behinds.

Overall, these are an amazing first anal bead set for beginners, but intermediate to advance ass-connoisseurs may want to find something a bit larger.
