These 101 intro beads are a whole lotta fun! They are easy to use on your own and my husband loves to do all the work when we use them together. The delicate pressure and tugging is a very welcome sensation, not to mention he's commented on how much he loves to watch them go in and out (he's even taken pictures). We use them a couple times a month and I've had some steamy shower situations with them alone too.

The beads themselves are very smooth and glide easily accompanied with a good water or silicone based lube. Size is also very nice and gradual, really good for someone curious about anal sensations but not wanting to go too far yet. I love to have these in while playing with other parts, that wonderful feeling of having something in my bum can make me cum a lot harder at times. Although I do wish they stayed in a little better when I'm on top. When all by my lonesome, these are great accompanied by a clit vibe or when I'm really horny a dildo along with that for some nice triple stimulation is mm mm good every time! However, if you're looking to get done with some girth, this is not what you're looking for.

The retrieval ring is a must for me and the cleanup is mostly easy with a little warm water and gentle soap. There's no messy string or chance of em' getting "lost", that's a must for us. Their only downsides in my opinion are the shock effect of the length at first but once inside you can't tell and because of the region they're used in clean up varies, but hey that's not the toys fault.

Really, I just love these things and writing this review has reminded me of some lovely situations, now that I'm all worked up I think I'll be pulling them out this afternoon for a solo session.
