I received these beads as an assignment and I found them to be a disappointment. I used them once and now they are going to spend the rest of their life tucked in the back of the toy drawer collecting dust with the rest of the toys that I don't like.

These beads are made out of clear PVC swirled with gold glitter, they are actually not that bad looking. The beads range in size from roughly that of a pea to the size size of a marble an inch in diameter. The whole set is made of one piece of molded PVC. One advantage of this is that it makes clean-up much easier. The flaw with this is that there is a visible seam on both sides of the toy that you can feel when they are being used. The strand is topped off with a round retrieval ring.

The packaging for the toy is a simple clear molded plastic clam shell. There is a piece of paper with a picture of a model holding the product with a description on the back. The packaging is a bit large but it could easily be used for storage.

Due to the one piece construction of this product clean up is quite easy. All you need is a simple washing with some soap and hot water, toy cleaner could also be used. Due to the PVC material I would not recommend sharing this toy unless you use a condom. PVC can not be sanitized as easily as silicone. One other aspect of this toy is that it has a very strong PVC smell when you take it out of the package, it lessens after being washed but it is still quite prevalent.

In all I would say save your money and get a nicer silicone set of beads, while these are not the worst they are by far not the best.

I gave the beads another shot to see if my opinion had changed. I can say that anal beads are just not my thing. These beads are, however, a great value if you are wanting to give beads a go and you don't want to spend a lot of money.
