These beads work best when inserted anally one by one with a lot of water-based lube. They're really great if you're just getting started exploring anal penetration as they start out very small. I love that you can choose how many to insert and can just stop at a few beads if you like. The main thing to remember when using these anal beads is to use them with lubricant to make sure that you can insert them painlessly and safely. Water based lube should be used exclusively with these beads because they're silicone. I think these beads are fun to use whenever! You can insert them before sex, and they're great when inserted during oral sex. The large ring on the end means that these beads are absolutely a-okay to be inserted anally as they are easy to pull out (and fun to pull out while you're climaxing!).

From my experience, these beads do not have a particular scent. They feel soft and are bendable and squishable (but not too much so). Their characteristics are great because they make insertion so much easier! The fact that these beads are made out of silicone is great too, because they can be cleaned easily (by boiling in water) and are very safe to use.

I really like the design of these anal beads. They're not intimidating and are very basic, but they do what they are supposed to! I feel like the size is definitely for beginners and more experienced users will absolutely want to get beads in a bigger size. When my partner and I used these (we're new to anal penetration almost completely), we inserted the entire string on the second try. I like that these beads are simple, though. I feel like they're not intimidating and a good purchase for anyone who is new to anal penetration and wants to feel safe and comfortable while trying something new. The other thing I like about these is that they're easy to store and travel with. My partner and I keep them in a Ziploc bag and because they're flexible, they're easy to take anywhere and put in your pocket or purse.

I think these beads were great! They were a little difficult to insert at first because the first few beads are so small and the whole string is so flexible, but once we got started, my partner and I just kept popping them in! These beads are also very comfortable and can be left inserted during intercourse.

These beads are completely easy to care for! I store mine in a Ziploc bag and rinse them off after using them. Because they're silicone you can boil them in hot water to completely clean them, and you should avoid using silicone lubricants with them.

There were not instructions on the package and the package was not discreet at all. There's a picture of a man's lower back and the beads are visible through the clear packaging. I would not advise using the packaging as storage.

I love these anal beads and they're great for beginners. My partner and I will definitely be using them almost every time we have sex until we save up for something a little bigger. Definitely a good investment for anyone who is curious!

My boyfriend and I loved them! The experience of inserting one after another is just awesome!
