This may come as a shock, given my professed anal prowess, but up until a few weeks ago, I had never, ever used a set of anal beads. (Gasp!)
Sure, I could come up with a lot of different reasons for why I'd never gone the bead route—but the truth is, I just never really got around to it. I began my career in anal pleasure as a butt plug, and I'd never really seen much reason to switch things up (hey, I'm a creature of habit).
But if anyone could convince me to, ahem, broaden my horizons, it would have to be Babeland—and so when they offered me a chance to test out their brand-spanking new anal beads (a recent addition to the Babeland toy line), well, I couldn't exactly say no.
At 10.5" inches long, the strand of beads (crafted from TPR), may seem slightly intimidating at first—but fear not! The beads themselves are graduated in width, going from tiny (the smallest is about the size of a pea) to moderately large (1" in width).
The gradation is a nice feature, allowing the user to work their way up to the largest bead—or, in the case of more timid asses, progress to whatever level you may be comfortable with, and just leave it at that. Once inside, the beads themselves create a nice feeling of fullness; not quite the stretched sensation of a butt plug, but a deeper, more penetrating (ha!) sensation that pleases nonetheless.
And then, of course, there's the removal. It's oft said that anal beads are as fun to take out as they are to put in. Well, let me be the one to tell you: it's all true.
In truth, I think I'm still a butt plug girl at heart, but I'm glad to have seen how the anal bead side lives. And for all you beginners out there—this may just be the toy you're looking for to gently open up your backdoor and introduce you to a world of anal splendor.
