Understanding Anal Beads
So, let’s start with the basics… what are anal beads? Typically anal beads are slimline beads of differing sizes joined together via a flexible string or shaft. This graduated design allows for gentle, gradual insertion, giving the body time to adjust to each increase in size—enhancing comfort and building pleasurable tension along the way. Materials used to make these bootie beads are often soft and flexible such as silicone or rubber. Meaning the beads can move to fit the contours of the body for enhanced comfort and stimulation.
People use anal beads to tap into the thousands of sensual nerve endings tucked away inside the butt and these beads have the power to intensify orgasms. Slowly remove at the height of climax to create a delicious wave of sensation. Beads are quite simply playful, pleasurable, and perfect for spicing things up!
Choosing the Right Size and Material
If you’re experienced with beads, you already know how important it is to choose the right size and material—especially when you’re just starting out. The size and material of your beads play a bigger role in comfort and stimulation than many people realise, and getting these two elements right can make all the difference between “meh” and mind-blowing.
Here’s our top tips for getting things right when shopping for anal beads:
- Start small (especially for newbies): The best anal beads for beginners are those that are smaller and more flexible allowing the body to adjust gradually.
- Work your way up: As you build up your confidence you can start to explore bigger and bolder beads. Larger spheres and longer strands will provide more intense sensations.
- Choose body-safe materials: The gold standard material for anal toys has to be silicone. It’s soft, flexible, non-porous, and beginner-friendly making it more hygienic, more comfortable and longer lasting. Glass is firmer for those seeking stronger stimulation and it’s great for temperature play but glass is probably best kept for the experienced players. Plastic is both lightweight for easy handing and affordable, just be sure to check it is non-porous and phthalate-free.
- Flared base for safety: Any anal beads worth their weight must have a flared base or retrieval loop to keep play safe. This applies to beginners and pros alike.
- Pro tip: If you’re in the market for advanced anal beads look for models that have added vibrations, longer strands, larger spheres or textured designs for added stimulation.

Anal beads are the ideal sex toy for elevating any sexy activity. They can be worn for solo play, partnered play, oral sex and sexual intercourse but they need to be used with safety in mind. And the key to any safe anal play is preparation, preparation, preparation!
Set the stage by first washing your anal beads thoroughly. Grab a bottle of water based anal lube and now relax. Anal muscles need to be relaxed in order to have the best experience. Relaxed muscles are more accommodating for anal toys and more sensitive for heightened pleasure. Often taking a long hot shower or bath can help you to mentally and physically prepare. Once you are ready to begin you need to know how to insert anal beads.
How To Insert Anal Beads
You could be forgiven for thinking it’s just a case of shoving them in, but don’t. It’s a little more delicate.
- Find a comfortable position, lying on your side or squatting works well.
- Apply plenty of lube to the beads and yourself before placing the tip of the beads against your opening.
- Gently push and insert one bead at a time pausing whenever you need to and being sure to breathe deeply.
- Now you are ready to enjoy!
Remember, using anal beads safely is crucial if you want to get the most from them. So take your time, stop if play becomes uncomfortable and use plenty of lube.
Enhancing Pleasure with Anal Beads
Once you’ve mastered the basics with how to prepare for anal play and how to insert anal beads, it’s time to level up the fun. Beads are an incredible way to achieve stronger, longer lasting orgasms—especially when paired with other types of stimulation. For those with a vulva, why not try combining beads with clitoral stimulation for full-body pleasure. For those with prostates, beads offer another dimension of internal sensation alongside direct prostate play.
All users should experiment with different rhythms and speeds during insertion and removal to discover what feels best. Pulling beads out at the point of climax should provide that classic anal beads orgasm that is unlike any other.
Changing positions will provide a wider range of feelings. Try lying on your back, being on all fours, or standing. This shifts the beads placement for different sensations whilst intensifying the experience. For even more excitement, look for beads with additional features such as app control, remote control or vibrations.
Top 5 Anal Beads Mistakes to Avoid
We thought we’d share the some of the most common anal play mistakes and beginner anal beads errors. Knowledge is power after all!
- Skipping the Lube: Possibly the biggest anal play mistake we can make is going in dry. The anus is not self-lubricating so it’s important to always use plenty of high-quality water-based lubricant for comfort and safety.
- No Foreplay: Going in cold is just as bad as going in dry. Without correct preparation, relaxation or warming up, play will be uncomfortable and unpleasant. Take your time—your body will thank you.
- Inserting Too Quickly: Rushing due to excitement or lack of patience is a common beginner anal beads error. Go slow, breathe deeply, and insert one bead at a time.
- Ignoring Safety Features: The best anal beads need to feature a flared base or retrieval loop to prevent unwanted surprises.
- Skipping Hygiene: not cleaning your beads before and after use will lead to a build up of bacterial, bad odours and potential infection.
