The item arrived well packaged in a plain box as expected. The description stated the large beads would be pink, however what came was red. Other than the color the advertised description was an exact match. There are 5 smooth plastic balls double knotted onto a white nylon cord with a plastic finger loop at the end. The beads felt smooth to the touch and well secured. The size was accurate at ¾ inch each however they just seemed small to me as an intermediate anal player.

In the bedroom I used plenty of water based lube and completely coated both the beads and me for easy inserting. First thing I noticed was that the 1st bead has the knot and nylon cord sticking out of the bottom. This is the 1st part to be inserted, and honestly it felt stiff and scratchy. I wouldn’t say painful, but not pleasurable either. The actual beads entered easily, they popped in one at a time and with a little finger work I managed to tuck the stings in as well. Insertion for me was nothing exciting. It was neither pleasurable nor arousing. They felt small and just slipped in easily.

Quickly seeing that these were not going to bring me to ecstasy alone, I reached for my favorite glass dildo. The beads were hardly noticeable but I did begin to feel a traveling sensation after some vaginal play with the dildo. They felt interesting and after finding that the finger pull ring was close to my anus I decided it was time to pull, I was a little worried of loosing the beads as the finger pull is only slightly larger than the beads. Rule of thumb is always be sure there is an adequate stopper on your anal play toys as they have a tendency to travel with the contractions within the anus.

I definitely enjoyed the feeling of them coming out. Each pulled out in a slippery pop and it did help push me over the edge into an orgasm. It was really nice, and much more pleasurable than I had anticipated. The anal beads lived up to the promises of pleasure upon removal, however insertion and masturbation while inserted really didn’t have much of any effect on me.

I think this toy was much more fun when you have a partner inserting and pulling them out. Self play was slightly awkward; however when I used these with my husband, the entire experience was more exciting, and pleasures were more intense.

I also tried the beads vaginally. I used them like a kegel exerciser. I was able to place all of the beads inside my vagina, and spent an hour with them inserted while doing regular household stuff. They actually aroused me as the clicking of the beads sent vibrations through me and the stuffed feeling was intensely pleasurable as well. If used for this dual purpose, it makes the value of them increase greatly.

All in all, they are a great value for the price. For beginner anal players the size would be about right. I personally will not pull these out of the bag often for anal play, as I am more intermediate category. However, I can see I may use them often vaginally for kegel exercises or just to feel naughty in public.

This was my first experience with anal beads. And honestly I was not so impressed. The scratchy cord and it being white were both a turn off. The cord should have been black or a darker color to hide the yellowing. Clean up seemed a little difficult, as the knots tend to collect fluids. I personally like this so very much more as a vaginal toy. But be sure to always sterilize it. You should never switch from anal to vaginal as it promotes bacterial growth and can cause infections.
