If you're into anal pleasure you have to give Rhapsodia by Close2you a try. I have to admit I've never used anal beads before, they just never appealed to me as something that would be pleasing. When I saw the balls in graduated size on the Rhapsodia I had to have it. With the last ball being almost one and a half inches in diameter I originally thought this is not a toy for beginners But, after using it I've changed my mind. With the graduated size of the balls I think it could be an excellent first time anal toy. With the first ball being rather small it's easy to insert and can prepare the user for the second and eventually the large third ball. I believe it would work very well as a anal trainer. Even though the Rhapsodia doesn't have a flared end it does have a four inch tail with a nice shaped decorative end on it so I don't think it would be easy to lose in the anus.

The Rhapsodia is made of Latex free Non-porous TPR making it a breeze to clean up with either hot water an anti-bacterial soap or toy cleaner. It has absolutely no odor and is very pleasing to the touch. There is a visually apparent seam running down both sides but it wasn't noticeable when I used it. If you intend on sharing the Rhapsodia I would recommend using a condom on it because each ball has a raised number two on it which could possibly hide some stray bacteria. It may look funny with a condom draped over it, but better to be safe than sorry. The raised numbers weren't noticeable when using the toy. The joints between the balls are very flexible making it rather tricky to insert but with enough lube and a little practice the Rhapsodia will slide right in, one lovely ball at a time.

The Rhapsodia is a cute little toy. We ordered it in violet, purples my wife Di's favorite color. Just looking at it you know it's meant for anal stimulation. The space between the balls is rather close and my anus closed tightly around ball as it was inserted. The spaces between the balls are very flexible, but by holding the second ball the first one slides right in and by holding the third ball the second with a little more pressure pops in. The large third ball takes a lot of relaxation and patience to slip in but is well worth the wait. With the area between the balls being so flexible and the third ball being rather large thrusting with the Rhapsodia is virtually impossible. At first this was a disappointment, but as I tried to thrust with it I could feel a slight vibration. It was the small balls inside the second and third balls rattling and as I thrust the Rhapsodia faster the vibes increased creating a very pleasurable feeling for my prostate and anus. The the length and shape of the handle made extraction very easy.

The graduated size of the three balls on the Rhapsodia make it a pleasure to insert. After each ball is inserted it feels nice to just relax and enjoy the feeling as your anus adjusts. The flexible tail not only makes it easy to remove the Rhapsodia but as flexible and thin as it is it makes it possible to insert the toy and wear it for extended periods of time, even while sitting. As a matter of fact I've got it in my tight butt right now and it feels great sitting here. I personally prefer nice hard thrusting when it comes to anal sex and thats just not possible with the Rhapsodia because of it's so flexible. Don't get me wrong the Rhapsodia gives lots of pleasure. By grabbing the tail and shaking it the internal balls put out some very nice vibes. The faster you shake it the more intense the vibes and unlike other vibrators you can control the intensity and make up your own patterns of vibration. My prostate falls nicely between the second and third balls and by flexing my PC muscle I can give myself a very pleasurable massage and an occasional orgasm.

My wife Di just started enjoying anal toys a few months ago and found the experience of inserting the Rhapsodia very pleasurable because each ball being larger brought a new sensation to her tight butt. She tried it vaginally because she's recently fallen in love with her glass toys with numerous bumps on them, but the flexibility issue came into play here and even though she enjoyed the bumps she wasn't able to thrust the way she can with more solid toys.

We use condoms on the Rhapsodia because my wife and I share it so clean up for us is easy just remove the condom and wipe it down with a toy cleaning cloth. A I said earlier with Non-porous TPR a good anti-bacterial soap and hot water should clean it up nicely if your the only person using it.

Even though the Rhapsodia comes with a nice velvet storage bag we store it in the box it came in.

Rhapsodia being made of TPR can be used with any type of lube.

Close2you has a beautiful and very functional packaging. The Rhapsodia comes in a nice box with two draws in it. The first draw holds the Rhapsodia in a cutout and the second draw has the velvet storage bag, some lube, a toy cleaner, a catalog of their products, and a silicone cock ring that I'll admit works very well.

The first time I used the Rhapsodia was a solo test. Knowing I'd be sharing it with my wife Di I slipped a condom on it and lube it and my anus up very well. The Rhapsodia looked funny with the condom on but it didn't get in the way. At first I tried to push it in like my other anal toys; vibes and dildos, but it kept bending so I grabbed a hold of the second ball and pushed and the first ball slipped right in. Doing this again holding the third ball the second one slipped in. My anus closed tightly around the area between the 3rd and 2nd balls and felt very nice and I was starting to feel pressure on my prostate. While relaxing and pressing on the 3rd ball it felt wonderful when it popped in. After a few moments I grabbed the tail and tried pulling it out so I could enjoy thrusting those balls in and out and found that once I had the 2nd and 3rd balls out I had to put them in one at a time again because of the flexibility issue. Feeling a little disappointment I began tugging at the tail and felt a slight vibration so I started shaking the Rhapsodia and the vibes increased and felt really good. I laid still for a while and just flexed my PC muscle and felt the 2nd and 3rd balls massaging my prostate. After a couple of minutes my cock began to stir and become erect and the more I flexed the more pre-cum began oozing from its head. It took about ten minutes of flexing my PC to produce a wonderful non-ejaculatory orgasm.

My wife Di found Rhapsodia very pleasing when used anally. It did take a little longer to insert it in her anus but she said that actually was a very enjoyable part. Not having a prostate she said that all she got was a very pleasuable feeling of fullness and she like the vibrations when it was shaken. One thing we tried which proved extremely pleasurable was having the Rhapsodia in Dis anus while we had intercourse. My cock sliding in and out loved the feeling of the balls rubbing it and Di said it gave her pussy and anus some incredible tingly feelings giving her some very intense orgasms. We tried it both in the missionary and doggy positions and it was a totally different feeling each time. One time my cock was massaged on the bottom and the other time on the top.
