When I bought the Silicone X-10 beads|Anal Beads: Silicone X-10 beads I knew I wanted something small. I don't like big anal toys|Anal Beads - Anal Sex Toys, I've tried them and I own a few that are larger but I generally stick to petite plugs. Before these came I played with plugs but never beads. Yes, I own a few beads but I don't use them often, whatever ones I had picked out for myself never quite met my expectations. There are times that I don't even turn to anal stimulation, months I go without, so I bought these beads as a way to reintroduce myself to anal play.

These beads are cheap, generally when I find a toy I like under $20 it's made out of jelly but these are made out Phthalates-free TPR silicone. I generally associate silicone composites with higher priced toys, so when I read that these beads were made with this better than average material I was speechless. Being TPR silicone they're hygienically superior to other beads in their price range.

I hate hard materials or objects that poke into you rather than glide. I was able to insert these effortlessly and felt absolutely no discomfort. The best part was, I didn't even have to use that much lube to be able to slide them in. The only downside to them is that they can be hard to insert if you use too much lube. They're very soft and lack rigidity so too much lubrication can cause them to become slick and slip out of your fingers. You'll end up struggling to push them in and if you have a muscle contraction they'll want to slip immediately out.

The two smallest beads couldn't be felt, I knew they were there but they weren't beefy enough for my taste. As I graduated up until the last bead it was a symphony of size. Every bead I popped inside sent waves of pleasure up my spine and caused my pussy to spasm in delight. The orgasm I had with these beads trumped a lot of the orgasms I had had in the past with my tried and trusted plugs. I knew these were a keeper when my orgasm became one of the most vocal ones I had ever had.

These beads are just as great during sex as they are during solo masturbation. When I'm on my knees I allow my husband to pop them in and pull them out whenever he wants to. However, during one of my first times using these he pulled the ring so hard that it snapped in half. I've used them since, I just made sure to super-glue the ring first... I'm a crafty girl!

These beads are fantastic for beginners. There have been times when using plugs that I've felt slight discomfort or a feeling of fullness, but with these I always enjoy the experience. If you're looking for an anal toy|Anal Toys for Anal Play that doesn't hurt or feel obtrusive, these beads are a keeper. They're a treasure to be had and belong in any anal adventurer's toy box!

I would like to touch up on the material, TPR silicone. I've had a lot of questions directed at me asking if it's silicone. Yes, it actually is! How much of it is a silicone, I'm not sure. TPR silicone means it is silicone based rubber compound. Is it safe? I'm going to say yes but it isn't as safe as PURE silicone. TPR silicone however, is still hypoallergenic and phthalate free. Can you use silicone lubricant with it? I don't recommend it, chances are silicone lubricants may damage this material. The reason to not use silicone lubricants on TPR silicone sex toys, is that a silicone lubricant may bond to the toy and destroy it. This certainly isn't true for all TPR silicone sex toys as it depends on how pure the TPR silicone sex toy is and the how pure the silicone in the lubricant is. If you want to test a TPR silicone sex toy with silicone lubricant use the ring or the top of the largest bead and do a test spot. If the area does not become sticky or gummy, then chances are the silicone lubricant and toy are compatible.
