Anal Beads

What are Anal Beads?

Anal beads are a popular type of toy that are inserted into the bottom for sexual enjoyment. Connected in a series along a flexible cord, the beads typically start small and get larger towards the base. They’re designed to stimulate the large number of nerve endings tucked away inside the rear, and make for an exciting addition to masturbation, foreplay, and intercourse.

Whilst they feel great inside the body, the real fun comes from removing them. Pulling them out one by one creates a gentle stretch and a delightful “popping” sensation as each bead exits the body. The speed at which they are pulled out can intensify the feeling produced – and when timed with climax, can result in a more powerful orgasm.

Types of Anal Beads

Anal beads come in a range of different shapes and sizes. The right type for you depends on your experience level and preferences.

Vibrating Anal Beads

These provide the classic “popping” sensation with the added thrill of vibrations. They’re perfect for those seeking extra stimulation, and many designs offer multiple speeds or vibration patterns to keep play exciting.

Large Anal Beads

Designed for a more intense experience, larger beads provide an increased feeling of fullness and deeper stimulation. They’re a great choice for those who are comfortable with anal play and are ready to take their backdoor adventures to the next level.

Glass Anal Beads

Made from smooth body-safe glass, these beads have a firmer feel and can be used for temperature play. Their transparency is visually striking, resulting in a sensual experience that’s as seductive as it is stimulating.

How to Use Anal Beads

Anal beads are simple to use, but the following tips can help to maximise pleasure and ensure safety:

1. Get clean. Whilst not essential, using an anal douche first can help you to feel more confident and relaxed later.
2. Get in the mood. Our bodies respond best when they are aroused, so take some time to warm up and get excited.
3. Grab the lube. Apply a generous amount of anal lube to both the toy and your body to ensure comfort during play.
4. Start slow. Take your time to gently insert the beads one by one. Insert as many as feels good – there’s no need to use them all on your first try.
5. Continue play. Once they’re in position, carry on with your desired sexual activity – whether that’s masturbation or intercourse with a partner.
6. Finish strong. As you begin to orgasm, use the finger loop to remove the beads from the body. The sensation will intensify your climax.
7. Clean and store. Once play is over, use a sex toy cleaner to wash the beads thoroughly, then store safely.
