The X-10 Beads are a great set of anal beads for someone wanting to try out anal play without investing a lot of money. They're a traditional set of anal beads that does what anal beads should do: provides interesting, textured sensations during insertion and wearing and makes orgasm mind-blowingly intense when they're pulled out during climax.

Material / Texture
The material used for this toy is jelly, which has a safety rating of 2. Jelly is porous, and it can harbor germs. It is not sanitizable and should not be shared between orifices or partners without condoms. It can be shared with condoms, although the length of this toy is too long for most condoms.
The jelly material feels very firm, with no give at all, but it's very flexible. This combination worked great for me; I could definitely feel the beads inside me at all times, but they flexed to fit my body comfortably during use. They were firm enough to insert easily. The surface feels slick and slides in smoothly with lube. They have a faint odor that was only detectable if I held them right up to my nose, and no taste. There is a faint seam, noticeable to the eye, but I didn't feel it when the toy was inserted.
I got these in purple (they also come in pink, purple, and black), and I was surprised by how pretty they were. When held up to the light, they glow this beautiful, luminescent purple. I tried to capture that in my photos:

Packaging
The toy came in a clear plastic clamshell. The packaging depicted on the product page is very different from the packaging I got. Since I believe that a picture says a thousand words, I shall save myself some work and post one here:
As you can see, the packaging is not discreet. You will want to wrap this toy if gifting it. The package can be used for storage, but it's quite bulky and I recommend using a plastic bag instead.

Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
Surprisingly, this is the set of anal beads that I like the most now out of the four pairs I've tried, and they were the cheapest. If you're not going to share your anal beads, then the material isn't really a problem, since you don't have to sanitize the beads to use them on yourself. The handle is really easy to use, and even as my butt has become used to larger objects, it's never been sucked in because it's pretty rigid. I will say that they are a bit long, and you might want to cut off the first two beads (the smallest ones) and sand that part down to make it smooth again. The first two beads can't be felt very much coming out anyways.
Another thing I noticed - I was storing these in a plastic bag, like a regular sandwich bag, and I noticed spots on the beads where they were wrinkled or flattened a little where they had been in contact with the plastic. I didn't know jelly could react to plastic, but the only other things they've come into contact with are a water-based lube and my ass. If I had kept the original packaging, I might have kept them in there instead. So if you do buy these, air-dry them thoroughly and then store them in the packaging or a cloth bag. I'm not sure if they might react with other toys, so to be on the safe, store them so they're not touching any other toys.
Other than that, these are a handy set of beads. After quite a bit of use, they're not showing any signs of wear aside from the storage issue mentioned about. For $6.99, you can't go wrong with these.
