The Posh Silicone Beads, while not my go-to toy for anal stimulation, seem to be more for him than for me. I find them to be a little too hard, with no give. As a tiny, little Asian women with sensitive skin, I find them a little too rigid if not lubed. I find they would be best used inserted in stationary in the anus, while receiving vaginal penetration.

Inserting can be a little tricky at first because of the rigid balls and overly loose between joints. I find that they tend to bind up in insertion and not go deep enough. Removal is pretty easy with the sturdy ring loop, but the rigid balls can rub skin the wrong way if pulled too fast (ouch!).

The groves and bumps seems to really feel good on his shaft.

I found the material to be standard silicone in texture, but lacking a certain softness compared to some other silicone toys I have owned.

As mentioned before, I find the ridges can be hit or miss. Considering how hard the balls are, they can be a little too scratchy for the tender area for my liking if not inserted gently.

I haven't noticed a smell except for when the toy first came out of packaging, which is to be expected. I simply soaked it in a mild hand soap to remove the new toy smell; I also tend to wipe with baby wipes after washing.

I would not recommend it to beginners simply because the scratchy feeling may turn some off for what could be a wonderful experience (anal). I also don't think advanced users would go for it because of the size.

I like the amount of spacing between the balls; it may sound odd, but it leaves room for the anus to close up to be reopened again. They were a little smaller than I thought, but would be okay for a warm-up if lubed up. The length is really good, but it is sort of depleted by the over-flexible joints which don't provide enough push to move the previously placed bead.

The designs on each ball are nice, but once again a little too hard. If pulled too fast, it could scratch the soft tissue.

The best and worst thing about the toy is the design on the balls. When finally inserted, it makes for a great vaginal experience, but it works the opposite for the anus; the tough little balls are too much for the soft skin of my anus for proper movement and play, and the weak joints do not provide enough push to easily insert all the beads.

Here is where the flexibility comes in handy: it can be stored anywhere. Being made of silicone makes for easy cleaning, whether you decide to boil or use soap, just make sure you check out the ridges. Soap and water works fine for me.

The packaging is simple, nothing posh about it: box, plastic baggie, toy. The box has a bright picture of the beads, so just chuck the box and store it in something else.

I have to say, these beads look like they are very durable, I just don't know how much of my attention they would get on my own. I have yet to try inserting both as I'm a tiny little thing, but think the weak joint would cause too much trouble.

He loves the feel of vaginal sex with them in, but feels they can be a bit annoying to insert.
