These are anal beads, which are meant to be inserted in the anal cavity. Once inserted you pull them out, which creates a popping sensation that can be orgasmic for some. They are comfortable to wear around for some time and can be enjoyed by men and women a like. They are a great couples toy and are easily controlled by a partner for your pleasure. The size of these anal beads are beginner friendly, but girth lovers may want to look else where. The design of each bead is uniquely shaped, but allows for easier insertion. They are made of hygienic material that can be boiled for sterilization, so sharing these are an option. It is best to be well lubricated prior to engaging in anal activities. The only precaution I advise is to not insert the final bead. This is just in case your handle breaks, then you will have a back up to remove them. Should your handle break discard these beads and never use them again.

Finally, a set of anal beads that are made of Silicone. Silicone is a wonderful material ranking in at a safety level of a 10. It is latex free, phthalates free, hypo-allergenic, and non porous. Silicone makes it possible to share with partners without condoms, but using a condom is still an option. This silicone is soft, stretchy, flexible, and some what squishy. It has a slight smell to it, that reminds me of summer time near the swimming pool (not sure why.) This silicone attracts some lint, but is not the biggest lint magnet, however this means you should at least wipe it down before use. I did flame test this silicone and it passed. The handle of these beads is not silicone, it is made of plastic.

The texture to these beads is bulbed like. This is meant to create a popping sensation upon removal.

These only come in one color option and that is a light blue color silicone with a clear blue plastic for the handle.

These are not circular shaped like most anal beads, but instead look like mini strawberries. Each bead has a pointed end that gets larger at the end and each pointed end is first inserted for easier insertion. These beads are 10" long, but this includes the handle, so they are 8" insertable. There are 9 beads total with the same circumference of 3"(1" diameter.) The final bead is molded onto the plastic handle. This handle is tough and holds up well to pulling as well as the beads. There is a slight seam all down the beads, which could effect the use.

The size of these beads are perfect for warm up to anal play, but great for beginners as well. They are travel friendly, but not discreet, so you will want to pack them in a pouch or something.

These beads are best to be worn anally, but they can be inserted vaginally too. They are waterproof, but any toy that doesn't have controls is potentially waterproof. I like to take them into the shower, so the water acts as lube, but also to shower before anal sex. I use these as a warm up to anal sex and I get enjoyment out of popping them in and out, but it is not orgasmic for me. I like these better than my X-10 beads, because of the superior material and the unique shape to the beads. They don't slide out easy and stay in place while I walk around. I have worn them for over an hour and they remain inside, but I always leave at least one bead out to at as if it is an emergency retrieval bead. I did pull these out during orgasm, but I notice any different sensations, however this doesn't mean you will not.

Silicone can be cleaned by warm water and soap, but you can also use toy wipes or a toy cleaner. They can also be shared amongst partners with proper cleaning in between, which is bleach and water solution and boiling for no longer than 3-5 minutes, but you will want to keep the handle out of the water. (This can be done with sticking a spoon through the loop and laying it over top of the pan, but be careful not to melt the spoon. It is best to use a metal spoon and don't burn yourself.)

These beads are fairly easy to store even in your purse. I store them along with all my other toys in my dresser. I recommend storing these somewhere discreet.

Silicone is only compatible with water based lubes. Silicone and Oil based could damage the beads, but you can spot test it, if you'd like.

This package is tacky, but works just fine. It is not discreet, as there is a couple touching one another on it and the toy is clearly visible. It should be wrapped for gifting.
