Upon receiving the box, my first reaction was, wow, these are kind of small. These anal beads come packaged in a easy access, plastic packaging. No scissors or knife required. Once the package was open, I was hit with a waft of pastic chemical scent. Though after having washed them and let them sit out for a while the scent has dissipated where it's not noticeable unless you hold the beads up to your nose. The must be the smell of Phthalate Free PVC. The Phthalate Free PVC is a safe material, that appears to be non-porous. That being said, I would probably avoid sharing, just because I'm not 100% sure you can boil it. The material it's self is smooth and doesn't have any real texture.



Now these are the "Platinum" Beads, and what makes them platinum? Glitter. Silver dominant with other colors depending on the light. Now, this is frankly a dangerous toy. The loop on the end is way more flexible than any other point on the toy. So, for safely for this review, I tied a string on to the end, incase these beads went too far in, cause a evening in the hospital to get these guys out, does not sound like a good time. Now the other thing that is off putting, is that it says on the packaging, "For external use only." Should always give one pause.



Now I'll say that these were a good way to warm up analy, the beads are relatively small, and start at 3/8" then step up to 1/2" then to 5/8", then to 7/8" and end at 1". It's insertable length is 10 1/4". Again, I would be very cautious about inserting anywhere close to all 10 1/4" into yourself or anyone else. Now I have to say that this was my first experience with beads of any sort, and I have to say I found it relatively enjoyable, though I do wish that the beads got a little larger in diameter. All in all though I got a little warmed up, it was fairly tough to relax because I was worried about how far I was putting these in. Frankly, because I have to worry about it, they just don't seem worth it. I will say, I am going to look into some glass and silicone beads.

Cleaning was easy. Just used warm water with soap. You could also use a toy cleaner solution, I would opt for something that I know will kill off any bacteria from use.

All in all, I can't recommend this toy because of the safety issue. I would look for something that has a lot better stop at the end so there isn't nearly the risk that the toy could end up inside you, and you off to the hospital.

We talked about trying to use these again, and just decided the best place for these was the trash. I would never get these again, and I cannot recommend them.
