Beginner's Guide to Anal Beads

Anal beads, much loved for their pleasurable 'pop' sensations, are a staple in any anal-friendly toy box.

Anal beads are a great way to slowly and gently experience anal play. Most anal beads start small and increase in circumference as you get longer, allowing your body to adjust to the size. Smooth and spherical, anal beads are easy to insert.

With their graduated shape, smooth spheres and ergonomic, easy-to-use design, using anal beads gives you a feeling of "fullness" that many people find incredibly pleasurable and can turn a normal orgasm into a sensational experience.

How to use anal beads

If you're wondering how to insert anal beads, don't worry, it's simple. But there are a few tips we would recommend before, during and after use:

Use lubricant: Before you begin, lubricate the anal beads and your anus with a thick anal lubricant and position yourself comfortably.

Warm up: you may find using the anal beads more comfortable.
 relaxing if you're already aroused, so you may want to tease yourself or engage in a little foreplay before you start.

Start pushing: Start pushing just the first bead or two inside you and get used to the sensation of gentle anal penetration.

Go for more: When you feel ready, insert more, using one hand to push the beads in and the other hand to keep your anus open.

Feel full: Once you reach the last bead, you should feel full and satisfyingly stretched.

Pull slowly outwards: at the point of orgasm, either during masturbation or during sex, slowly pull the beads outwards and experience some extremely pleasurable sensations.

Which anal beads should I choose?

If you're a beginner, the best anal beads are probably a set of flexible beads that start small, with very gradual increases so that you slowly get used to the sensations.

Safety first

Make sure you choose beads with a ring loop or inflated base, for easy removal and peace of mind. If your anal beads don't have this ring pull, make sure you leave at least two beads outside your body for easy removal.
