As a lover of all things anal, I have tried many anal beads. None come close in quality and orgasm strength to these bad boys. The structure of the beads themselves is medium length and firm enough to "pop" each bead in without losing grip. Many beads you will find have a weak and flimsy join between the beads, so when you apply lube and begin to push, it is easy to lose grip and struggle to make the experience unpleasant. Eden does a great job of making a quality join that is firm enough to make the insertion easy and pleasurable. The contouring and texture on the beads themselves are significantly noticeable and massages the sides of your asshole as you slide them deeper. These are the only beads I would ever recommend as the price is excellent and the quality is incredible.
