This set of anal beads is great if you are just getting started in the world of anal play, but only for the first few uses. The tapering of the beads is nice but begins extremely small and only goes up to 1" in diameter of the final bead. The beads slide in and out smoothly with silicone lubricant and can be thrust inward rather quickly and generate a fair amount of pleasure. Inserting the beads completely and wearing them about in public is erotic, but not extremely stimulating. The best situation in which to use the beads is during foreplay and warming up before graduating to a larger toy. However, thrusting the beads in and out as you masturbate is a nice combination. The beads are nice for a first timer, but the excitement is short lived as I was craving larger beads only after the first few uses. The beads are easy to clean with a little soap and water and hold up well after multiple uses. I highly recommend them if you are a first timer and simply wish to enter the wonderful world of anal play. They are small and discreet, however not they almost seem too small.

This toy is definitely for beginners. The material is soft and is inserted easily into the anus. It does have a smell of rubber and absorbs smells if the toy is not cleaned after every use. Having a smooth texture is a definite plus to the product.

The design is nice and the overall concept of the toy is great. The shape of the toy is pleasurable; however, the size of the toy is small. It is too small for my liking. The size if perfect from a beginners stand point. The gradual size increase of the beads allows the user to slowly expand and graduate to larger toys.

I like how gradual the beads increase in size. It allows the beads to be inserted smoothly and quickly without a rough entry and also requires a small amount of lubricant for smooth insertion.

The anal beads are easy to use and work well with silicone and water based lubricants. Soap and water easily clean the toy. It is easily stored in sock drawer without anyone know about it.
