What are Anal Beads?

Anal beads are a sex toy, made up of multiple balls (or beads), attached in ascending order. The beads go from the smallest to biggest, the size increasing with each bead; the biggest bead in the series lies at the base end, where there is a flared base or ring, to pull it out at intervals. As sex expert Sammi Cole opined, “anal beads are designed to be taken out and re-inserted repeatedly, unlike butt plugs.” The sensation is definitely in motion.

Anal beads are also called anal balls, butt beads, or sex beads. They are similar to rosary beads, only slightly bigger. Anal beads work for solo and partnered sex, but it is even more pleasurable with a partner because there’s an element of surprise as your partner pulls out a bead when you least expect it.

Women using anal beads should know that they are not to be used in the vagina. If you want a set of beads to use in your vagina, then purchase a set that is exclusive to that area. Many newbies to anal play have a fear of the ‘push-and-pull motion associated with anal beads. But that is even more reason to use beginner anal beads! They are great for anal training and will expose you to more pleasures than you ever imagined.

Types and main characteristics

If you think anal beads are a series of beads connected by a common string, you are probably right. However, there are various types of anal beads, and we will classify them by their material, shape, size, power, and much more.

Material. Anal beads are made of commonly known sex toy materials such as silicon, glass, rubber, metal, plastic, and latex. They are held together by a silicone string or wand, which is firm yet flexible. Some other times, you might find anal beads held together with a nylon string, a.k.a string anal bead. Silicone anal beads are deemed safe and flexible. However, you can go with whatever works for you, especially if you’re a novice in this area. For easy cleaning, chose a glass anal bead or the silicone type.
Shape and Design. When you think of beads, what shape comes to mind? Circles, of course. However, anal beads can also look oval. Then when joined together progressively on a wand/string, they take on a cylindrical or wand-like shape. Anal beads base also have hoops or bigger beads, which prevent the entire toy from falling completely into the rectum.
Size. The diameter of an anal bead could fall between 25mm and 125mm. On average, most people prefer anal beads with diameters around 45mm. But who are we to say what’s best for you? The key is to experiment and figure out what feels great for you and your partner.

Vibration. Vibrating anal beads intensify the pleasurable sensations by a few more degrees. Think of anal stimulation in the most pleasurable way. Vibrating anal beads in use are equipped with motors and vibration technology, which create rippling sensations in one’s butthole. Best. Feeling. Ever.
Power. Most anal beads are used manually. However, the vibrating anal beads have USB charging ports or battery partitions. There are also various smart anal beads, which can be remote-controlled by partners in a long-distance relationship.
Waterproof. Manual anal beads are mostly waterproof. As for your rechargeable and battery-operated anal beads, read the product description, or ask the professional in charge of your favorite sex toy shop how water-resistant your anal beads are.

How to Use?

Using long anal beads is not as simple as you might have imagined. Learning to take care of your sex toys, extreme anal beads, especially, is a true art. One that we will teach you right away.

Usage and Safety Precautions

Know now that anal beads are not to be shoved into the anus. To push in anal beads, you have to lubricate the butthole and the beads properly. Then, slowly push in the beads, starting from the smallest.

Stop at intervals so that you can savor the feeling of tightness it gives. Push it in (or let your partner do it) until you feel too uncomfortable to continue. The great thing about anal beads is that you can use them in any position since the beads stay in the rectum. Missionary, doggy, cowgirl, scissors positions, and whatever way you want it.

It’s essential to be health-conscious even while having the best orgasms of your life. Before pushing the beads in, count the anal beads to know the number of beads on the string/wand. When you pull them out, go through the same process to ensure you aren’t missing any.

String anal beads are porous, so if you are using these types of beads with a partner, put the beads in a condom to avoid the transfer of feces or bodily fluids.

How to Clean?

Anal beads go in the butthole, so they must be cleaned after each use. Cleaning is one step you cannot escape. When you consider cleaning, glass anal beads and those made of silicone are easy to clean, which is why they are popular choices.

Clean your anal beads with warm water and mild soap. Another method is to dip the beads in a weak solution of bleach and water (1:9) and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, take it out and wash it in hot water. Let the beads air dry after that. Special cleaning instructions depend on the material, which your beads are made of, just like metal anal beads, which can quickly get rusty.

Take out the batteries of your vibrating anal beads before cleaning them, and never submerge the vibrating toy in water.

Storage

Store your anal beads in a box or pouch, and place them in a well-ventilated corner of your home. Out of the children’s reach, of course.
