When my partner and I first purchased this little toy, we had not yet tried the anal play... of our relationship. And let me say, I'm glad I purchased these beads for the first time with anal. It was a very comfortable soothing and arousing toy. We have purchased other toys like it and this by far is still my favorite. I have yet to place the entire toy to the 10th bead and it has never faulted during our use. But at the 9th bead, it tends to be so soft and slippery that it slides out during sex to the 8th bead. I love the silicone but we do go towards the hard plastic sometimes or a more textured toy when playing the anal game. Just because of the minor slippage from the softness of the beads.

When cleaning the toy, the silicone is above all our other beaded pleasures. The harder plastic tends to be sketchy when cleaning - but if we use the X-10, I know it will be simple and quick to clean without going back and checking each bead. I love the texture but I also hate it at the same time. It feels like velvet when it goes in and comes out, but it also slides and sometimes it's a buzz kill.

With my experience with the X-10 I love the toy. I will definitely buy another if this one ever does break. Which it hasn't so far, so I believe it will last us. I do recommend to anyone who has not tried anal to purchase these beads for your first time. They are soft enough to use with out any discomfort and very simple to use. My partner and I are very into simplicity. We don't want to have to read directions to play. These beads are a favorite and I know we will have them in the bedroom for many nights to come. All I can say is I'm glad I have these beads!
