Anal Beads

What Are Anal Beads?

Anal Beads are anal sex toys that resemble a series of beads. They can either be flexible or rigid, and are usually made of materials like silicone, glass, metal, or plastic. Some types have beads that are in equal sizes throughout their length, while others have graduated beads that increase in size as you go up.

Anal Beads are meant to go inside the anus to provide stimulation by pulling them out at varying speeds or one bead at a time during the peak of sexual excitement or climax. The pleasure that you can obtain from Anal Beads comes from the movement as you pull each bead out of the anus.

One of the most important parts of the Anal Beads aside from the series of beads that penetrate the anus is the ring-type end that serves as a stopper and prevents the sex toy from slipping all the way in your anal cavity.

The ring is also meant to pull out the sex toy from your anus easily. Other variations are flared ends, anchor-types, and flanged-bottoms adorned with gems to add an aesthetic appeal.

Anal Bead Variations

Along with the continuous evolution of different anal sex toys, Anal Beads have their share of developments throughout the years. Adding up to the classic models that resemble a soft and jelly-like material is a new generation of Anal Beads in various attractive colors, designs, materials, and forms.

You may choose between flexible string-like Anal Beads and rigid types, beads that are arranged closely together, and beads separated by small spaces between large and small beads; or a series of equally-sized beads and beads in progressive sizes. There are a handful of other types that you can explore depending on how you want to intensify your anal sex experience.

The safest and most common materials for Anal Beads are body-safe silicone, metal, and glass. Innovative models that come in rigid forms are also fully-equipped with a vibrating mechanism to deliver more pleasure during solo play and couple play.

How to Use Anal Beads

Anal Beads are anal sex toys that are easy to use and suitable for anal sex beginners. If you’re a newbie, start with the flexible types with small beads that are either arranged close together or have a small space between them. Advance players can do well with large and rigid anal beads that come in equally-sized series or have progressive sizes.

And because the anus doesn’t lubricate on its own, a quality anal sex lube is essential if you want to enjoy anal sex and avoid soft tissue irritation and anal perforation. Make sure to use the right type of lubricant depending on what material your anal sex toy is made of.

Here’s a step-by-step procedure on how to use the Anal Beads as pleasure sex toys.

1. Apply a liberal amount of lubricant on your anal opening and throughout the length of your Anal Beads.
2. Gradually insert the sex toy into your anus one bead at a time. Go only as far as you feel comfortable.
3. Keep the Anal Beads in your anus during sexual foreplay or until you’ve reached the peak of sexual excitement.
4. You may ask your partner to pull out the Anal Beads gradually or at varying speeds anytime to facilitate sexual arousal. Then gradually insert the beads again.
5. Give your partner the cue to slowly pull out the Anal Beads one by one as you reach climax. The pleasure that comes from the beads’ movement out of your anus amplifies your sexual experience and boosts sexual climax.
6. Make sure to thoroughly clean, sanitize, and disinfect your Anal Beads after each use. Never leave your used Anal Beads lying around to avoid contamination. After cleaning, store your sex toy properly; and make an effort to clean them up before next use.

What Is the Purpose of Anal Beads?

Anal Beads deliver sexual pleasure through anal penetration and stimulation. They offer a fun and thrilling way to ease yourself into exploring something new in the bedroom with your partner.

One of the things that make Anal Beads and other types of anal sex toys versatile is that both men and women can benefit from them. And they’re suitable sex toys among heterosexual and same-sex couples.

Anal sex toys go beyond gender identity, which makes them ideal sex toys for every adult that wants to experience a new level of stimulation that’s out of the conventional. To get rid of your doubts and partiality on anal sex toys, allow us to reveal the top purposes of Anal Beads and how they can help in redefining your sex life;

1. Entry-Level Sex Toy for Anal Sex Beginners.

Anal Beads are the most suitable entry-level sex toys for anal sex beginners. They come in small sizes and graduated beads to cautiously train and stimulate the anus in preparation for a bigger penetration. Moreover, Anal Beads can give you less anxiety as a first-timer because of their non-intimidating properties.

Ideally, beginners can conveniently start with the flexible types with small graduated beads made of soft materials like jelly-like plastic, thermoplastic rubber, and silicone.

2. Intensify Sexual Orgasm.

The Anal Beads’ primary purpose is to intensify sexual pleasure by slowly pulling out the beads from the anus during orgasm. Aside from this very iconic use, the Anal Beads are also useful for sexual stimulation during foreplay.

Just insert the beads inside your anal cavity and ask your partner to pull them out at varying speeds to tease your anus as you reach the peak of sexual excitement.

3. Promotes Sexual Equality.

Anal Beads are suitable as sex toys for men and women. And whether you’re in a heterosexual or same-sex relationship, you can benefit from anal stimulation and penetration.

In fact, Anal Beads are one of the many sex toys that promote sexual equality because they are neither bound to a specific gender identity nor limited to a certain type of sexual relationship.

You’ll find the Anal Beads beneficial to your sex life regardless of your sexual preference, and whether or not you intend to pursue anal sex with your partner.

4. Boosts Sexual Creativity.

Couples that want to get more creative in the bedroom can use Anal Beads to tease and stimulate each other. The pleasure and excitement starts with the gradual insertion of the beads in the anal opening. You may perform this to your partner for an intimate moment to strengthen your sexual connection and establish trust.

You may also stimulate other erogenous zones as you insert and pull out the beads from your partner’s anus during foreplay. Anal Beads users also testify to a toe-curling and mind-blowing experience when their partners start to slowly pull the beads out of their anus while having an orgasm.

5. Introduces Unique Sensations.

Among women, Anal Beads can introduce a unique sensation and a different kind of sexual excitement that’s a far cry from vaginal and clitoral stimulation. For men, it’s a practical way to initiate anal penetration and to introduce the feeling of “fullness” in the anus.

These forms of sexual explorations can significantly boost your sex life and enable you to share new and pleasurable experiences with your partner.

What Do Anal Beads Feel-like?

Anal Beads are anal sex toys that stimulate and penetrate the anus. As long as you’re using the correct size, type, and material, the sensation should be comfortable enough even if you’re a first-timer.

When using Anal Beads, it’s important to go only as far as you feel comfortable. Beginners should also start with soft and flexible Anal Beads and apply sufficient lubrication.

What Makes the Anus a Sensitive Area in the Body?

To understand and appreciate how Anal Beads feels like, let’s first explore the human anus.

The anus is the external opening of the rectum. Anatomically, the rectum leads to the colon, and any narrow object that you insert into it can potentially travel up when the walls contract. This explains why anal sex toys have flared bottoms or ringlets.

Notably, the anal walls are rich in blood vessels that increase blood circulation in the anus to make the area sensitive to stimulation. The anal region is also rich in nerve endings, which make penetration a delightful experience.

Next, the pudendal nerve, which extends to the rectum, bladder, vagina, and some areas in the pelvic region, is only 20% of the motor fibers responsible for the movements in those areas. The other 80% are sensory fibers that deliver sensations. And this leads to the conclusion that the anal area is anatomically a pleasure zone.

This explains why the use of Anal Beads and sex toys for anal penetration delivers sexual pleasure and excitement. The increase in blood circulation coupled with continuous stimulation to the nerve endings contribute to a unique experience that can ultimately trigger powerful orgasms in both men and women.

The Anal Sensation

Beginners will experience a sense of fullness and tightness in their rectum upon insertion of the Anal Beads. This is normal. However, to prevent friction and anal perforation, it is important to apply a generous amount of lubricant.

This is an important element of anal sex since the anus doesn’t lubricate on its own and is incapable of delivering secretions.

The best time to insert the Anal Beads is during sexual arousal. Gently insert the beads one at a time and only up to a comfortable level.

The initial sensation is usually well-described as “tight” and “full” with a slight stretch. But as you get accustomed to it, you’ll be able to tolerate more beads of increasing size.

To experiment with various sensations, allow your partner to pull the beads out of your anus at varying speeds. The gentle anal massage can trigger the nerve endings to deliver electrifying sensations that can bring you over the edge.

Another way to feel the elation from Anal Beads is to give your partner the cue to slowly pull the beads out one-by-one as you drift into a sexual climax.

Types of Anal Beads

Anal Beads are highly versatile adult sex toys that come in a variety of forms, sizes, colors, and materials. Just like most adult sex toys, they have undergone through a series of transformations over the years.

Hence giving rise to innovative products that go beyond what you can imagine from flashy metallic types to silicone vibrating models. So whether you’re an anal sex newbie or an experienced player, there’s a particular type and size of Anal Beads that can deliver the right level of stimulation for your pleasure and enjoyment.

Here are the most common types of Anal Beads you might want to explore and consider for your next sex toy purchase;

Vibrating Anal Beads

The most innovative types of Anal Beads have vibrating components to deliver a heightened level of stimulation. Most Vibrating Anal Beads are made of smooth clinical-grade silicone material to minimize friction and provide a smooth glide along the anal cavity. These types of Anal Beads are usually rigid, and some have a remote control that is useful in adjusting the vibration levels and intensity.

In terms of physical aspects, some are a series of beads that are close together in equal sizes (almost overlapping) and resemble a textured anal dildo, while some have progressive beads in gradually increasing sizes that are suitable for experienced players that prefer a tighter and fuller sensation.

Large Anal Beads

Experienced anal sex players will find Large Anal Beads more satisfying than their small counterparts. Large Anal Beads can either be soft, rigid, or vibrating; and are usually made of silicone, metal, or glass.

The length usually ranges from 8 inches to 10 inches with a circumference of 3.5 inches or more. The beads can either be tapered, progressive, or equal in sizes and separated by spaces in between.

Glass Anal Beads

Glass Anal Beads are rigid sex toys that don’t yield to pressure, making them more suitable for advanced players who prefer a full and hard sensation during anal penetration. Glass is also an excellent choice for temperature play because of its resilience hot and cold temperature.

For those who are particular about the cleanliness of their anal sex toys, Glass Anal Beads are an ideal choice because they are easy to clean, disinfect, and sanitize.

Gay Anal Beads

The most suitable Anal Beads for gays are the rigid silicone types with graduated beads. These are useful in training the anus and anal walls to stretch for a more comfortable penetration. Ideally, the safest way to go is to start with only one to two beads.

This would allow the anus to get used to the sensation. Moreover, the slight stretch usually accompanied by a hint of tingling sensation is not too overwhelming and is an indication of gradual anal training.

Other options for Gay Anal Beads are stainless steel metal and glass. However, these hard and non-yielding materials are more suitable for advanced players.

Lesbian Anal Beads

There are different types of Anal Beads that are recommended for lesbians and female users. For starters, string Anal Beads made of PVC, thermoplastic, or silicone materials are excellent choices. For more experienced players, rigid types with graduated beads may offer a better stimulation.

For lesbians/females who want to intensify sexual climax, Anal Beads that have spaces in between are more suitable for delivering pleasure than beads that are arranged closely together.

Another option for Lesbian Anal Beads comes in the form of a double penetration anal sex toy. This sex toy resembles a “fork” with two components, a dildo for vaginal penetration and rigid anal beads for anal penetration.

It comes with a handle and a vibrating component. This double penetration sex toy is specially designed for simultaneous insertion. To use this sex toy, you have to position the dildo against your vaginal opening and the Anal Beads against your anus. Push to gently insert both shafts in and achieve dual penetration with a single thrust.

Graduated Anal Beads

As one of the most common types of anal sex toys, Graduated Anal Beads are well-characterized by the progressive sizes of their beads, starting with the smallest one with the succeeding beads gradually increasing in size as you move up.

This type of anal beads is a suitable choice for those who want to explore anal sex, because the graduated sizes of the beads are excellent for training and stretching the anal muscles.

Beginners can start by inserting only the first two beads and gradually progress by inserting more beads as they advance. Graduated Anal Beads can either be made of silicone, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), thermoplastic rubber, glass, or stainless steel. They are also available in flexible (string-type) or rigid forms.

Rigid Anal Beads

Rigid Anal Beads resemble the form, girth, and rigidity of an anal dildo. Other variations come in a rigid shaft with a series of progressive or equal-sized beads.

These types of Anal Beads are usually not flexible and don’t yield to pressure, making them different from their string-type and flexible counterparts. Most rigid models are made of silicone, PVC, and ABS plastic, metal, and glass. They are also more fitting for advanced anal players.

Soft Anal Beads

Soft Anal Beads refer to flexible and pliable string-type anal beads. They are usually made of soft thermoplastic elastomer, jelly-like material, silicone, or non-toxic PVC. Variations include equal-sized beads in series and graduated beads.

You may also choose between beads that are closely-arranged together or those that have spaces in between them. Soft Anal Beads are recommended for anal sex toy beginners, couples who want to introduce anal sex in their sexual routines, and individuals who want to train and stretch their anal muscles in preparation for anal sex.

Strap-On Anal Beads

For adventurous heterosexual couples that want to explore double penetration, a Strap-On Anal Beads is the most suitable choice. This Anal Beads has three major components, a rigid anal beads shaft and two rings, one for the penis and another for the testicles. The rings serve as harnesses to secure the anal beads shaft in place.

During sexual intercourse, this sex toy allows double penetration and multiple stimulations. As the penis penetrates the vagina, the anal beads shaft can simultaneously penetrate the anus.

Some models have an additional feature right on the top portion of the penile ring, which is meant to stimulate the clitoris during the penetration. A Strap-On Anal Beads is an advanced sex toy that is recommended for advanced and experienced anal sex players.

How Much Do Anal Beads Cost?

The price range for anal beads varies greatly because of the many different types, forms, and models available nowadays. Non-vibrating and soft Anal Beads are the most basic types and therefore are the most affordable.

Anal Beads that have vibrating components, remote control, and made of clinical-grade silicone typically cost more.

The price of Anal Beads depends primarily on the materials they are made of and the type, model, size, and features. To give you an idea about the typical price range of Anal Beads, here’s a basic reference;

Anal Bead Precautions

Anal Beads are sex toys that deliver pleasure as long as you know how to use them with safety and precaution. Just like most adult sex toys that are meant to stimulate body parts, Anal Beads are specifically-designed, shaped, and crafted for penetration.

So if you want to break away from the stigmas surrounding anal sex, Anal Beads are the best entry-level sex toys you can consider.

Here are the most important safety precautions if you want to start using Anal Beads;

1. Pick the Right Type.

Be realistic with your goals. If it’s your first time using an anal sex toy, choose something that matches your level. Don’t pick sizes that are too overwhelming, because this might cause more harm than pleasure. Instead, choose a size, material, and form that you’ll feel comfortable to use.

2. Buy From a Credible Source.

Always buy your sex toys from a credible sex toy shop. And while there are many cheap anal sex toys online, don’t take quality for granted. Anything that you put inside your body should be safe and non-toxic. Make sure to choose a credible source that offers a complete line-up of high-quality sex toys with impressive safety profiles.

3. Apply Sufficient Amounts of Lubricant.

When inserting the Anal Beads inside your anus, make sure to apply sufficient amounts of lubricant on your anal opening and sex toy. The anal cavity does not lubricate on its own and has no secretions that can minimize the friction. To avoid anal injury and perforation, make sure to use the right type and amount of lubricant.

4. Go Only as Far as You Feel Comfortable.

It is not necessary to insert the entire length of your Anal Beads inside your anus. Go only as far as you feel safe and comfortable. Anal penetration takes practice and a lot of getting used to. So be patient and take it one step at a time.

5. Clean, Sanitize, and Disinfect Your Anal Beads.

Part of your personal hygiene is keeping your sex toys clean and hygienic before and after use. Make it a point to clean, sanitize, and disinfect your Anal Beads. If possible, sterilize your toy with hot water.

Give it a good rub and pay attention to the areas that are in direct contact with your body tissues and deep-seated corners where dirt and lubricant tend to seep through. Cover your sex toy and store properly in a clean and safe place. And lastly, do not let another person use your Anal Beads to prevent risks of contamination.
