The Passion beads are primarily meant for anal play, and follow a classic design of gradated beads. What makes this toy better than many cheaper bead options is that the entire toy is coated in body-safe silicone, which besides providing a wonderful texture with just the right amount of firmness also means that users won't have to worry about bacterial getting into more porous material.

Because there is an easy grip handle, couples and solo players alike will find the beads easy to use, and can be used everywhere, from the bedroom to the tub and everywhere in between. Travel is possible as the beads do not vibrate and can be folded, but they are also very clearly a toy and should be hidden in your checked luggage if you're worried about the TSA.

The Passion anal beads are made from body-safe silicone, meaning that it is non-porous, latex and phthalete-free, and hypoallergenic. As a cautionary note, because the Passion beads are made of silicone, they are not compatible with silicone lube.

Luxe is the word that comes to mind when describing the texture of the beads. The matte silicone is velvety, has a little bit of give with a firm core, and has no smell. The beads are flexible, which also makes storage a breeze as you can easily stuff them into a bag and the beads will spring back when they are taken back out. Beginners will find the texture to be non-intimidating, and more advanced users will appreciate the easy-to-clean nature of silicone toys.

These beads follow the classic design of regular anal beads, but the entire "string" is cased in silicone making it totally body-safe. The ten beads range in size from less than half an inch in diameter (about the same size as my pinky finger) to over an inch on the largest bead. The Passion beads also come equipped with an easy-grip handle that has two finger loops, making it very easy for both partner and solo play.

Both beginner and advanced users will find the toy a great addition to their toybox as the varying bead sizes make it easy to slowly work your way up. The toy is just over 13.5" long, and has 12" of insertable length. While that might sound long, the toy is not uncomfortable as the bead strand is flexible and will conform to the shape of your body.

Meant for internal play of the backdoor variety (although it works just as well vaginally), the toy performs very well as a teasing warmup with the smaller beads, and a wonderful filled sensation when fully inserted. I loved that unlike other anal toys such as plugs this toy was flexible, meaning that movement was comfortable while still providing that wonderful full feeling.

When being inserted or pulled out the beads provide a popping sensation which is pleasurable, and allows the muscles of your body to get used to the progressively larger beads. The handle's finger loops make solo and partner play easy, but do not make it comfortable to be seated unlike toys with a flared base.

Silicone is one of the easiest toy materials to care for, provided you don't let it come into contact with other silicone toys or silicone-based lubes as these will melt your bead's silicone coating. To clean these Passion beads you have a lot of options: you can wash them in warm soapy water, boil them, or even pop them into your dishwasher! Using a toy wipe or cleaner will also work perfectly fine, and I would advise attention is paid to the gaps between the beads to remove all debris.

Before using the beads I would highly recommend giving them a quick wipe as the material is a lint magnet, or storing the toy in its own bag to prevent it from picking up dust or coming into contact with your other toys.
