The Steel Pearls are easy to maneuver whether used solo or with a partner. Thankfully due to this toy being made from entirely stainless steel, this is a little firmer with its "string" part (In between the pearls) and allows for easier insertion. Another benefit of stainless steel design is the ease of sterilization, and there are multiple ways of cleaning this toy. This toy can be a little cold to touch, but if you run it under warm water before use, it helps. For those who are interested in temperature play, this should be able to facilitate that.

There is no texture on the pearls, but this is fairly standard with this type of toy. The pearl balls are very smooth and blemish-free. There is no strange smell or any marks left from the production of this toy. There is a nice ring on the base to help grip and for ease of removal. These are fairly rigid when it comes to mobility but makes it easier overall to insert and allows for deeper penetration.

Each pearl is ¾ inches in diameter, which makes this not a bad choice for beginners and also provides length (13 1/2" insertable length) for the user to work themselves into with each new session. The girth of the pearls is also okay for those with a little more experience. While not exactly discreet when out of the baggy, you can travel with it, although I would stick to car/bus travel as this may not be something you want the TSA to pull out (of your luggage) for everyone to see.

The simplicity of this toy is its best feature, and the high-quality materials used in its design. There is really nothing overtly flashy about the steel pearls, but it does shine in the light and is very reflective. It is so easy to clean, as earlier stated, but I can not understate how nice this is! For those who are looking for beads that reach further, then this toy would accommodate that for sure, as it has a fairly long insertion length (Over 13 inches!).

There are quite a few options for cleaning stainless steel toys! You can fully sanitize this toy in 5 to 10 minutes in boiling water. You can also throw this in the dishwasher for 5 to 10 minutes without soap, this should also sterilize the toy. This toy can also be cleaned with a 5% bleach solution. Another option is anti-bacterial soap and rinsing it with warm to hot water. After the toy is cleaned, it is best to leave the toy out to air dry, after which you can place it in the included cotton drawstring bag. This toy should be sanitized before and after each use.

This was packaged well and minimally. This toy comes bubble wrapped inside a medium-sized draw string baggy. While there is nothing visually appealing with the packaging, there are no big glaring letters or pictures that would let anyone know what's held within, which is great for those who are worried about prying eyes. The cotton bag is just large enough to fit the toy, and once it is in its place, no one can tell what is inside the bag.
