What are anal beads?

There are lots of different sex toys out there that can be used to stimulate different parts of the body, and anal beads are no exception. They come in a few different varieties but the overall effect is the safe – pleasurable anal stimulation.

Whether you are male or female, anal beads can be an extremely enjoyable way to open up conversations about anal sex or simply to enhance the pleasure of intercourse.

What kinds of anal beads are there?

There are a number of different designs of anal beads out there, the most common of which are beads on a string, beads on a stick and vibrating beads. The beads can be all the same size or they can start small and gradually get bigger. Vibrating anal beads are more expensive than those on a stick or on a string, but they can also provide more pleasure, especially if anal beads are being used to enhance sexual pleasure.

How do I use anal beads?

Anal beads can be used on your own or with a partner. The first thing to do is to lubricate the beads and the anus before slowly pushing the first bead inside. Anal beads can be pushed slowly inside and then removed one by one, or left in during sex to be pulled out at the point of climax to enhance the sensation. You can also play with anal beads as a foreplay toy. The beads can be pushed in and out at whatever rate the user finds pleasurable. This can help to prepare the anus for anal sex too.

What about lubrication?

Lubricant is a must when using any sex toys that are design for anal insertion. Silicone lubricants do not dry out in the same way that water-based lubricants do and are much better for anal lubrication, however, silicone lubricants are not suitable to be used with silicone sex toys, so make sure you have an appropriate lubricant for the toy you are using.

Does it matter what they are made of?

Anal beads can be made from a wide range of different materials, but the best ones tend to be made of silicone, rubber, plastic or glass. These tend to be the safest toys to use and the easiest to insert when lubricated.

What if they get stuck?

This is the downside to this particular sex toy, if the toy isn’t looked after properly and if you and your partner don’t communicate well, anal beads on a string can break off inside the anal passage. This can cause a blockage and the best thing to do is to go straight to hospital. It may be an embarassing situation, but it is best to be safe than sorry.

You can avoid this by making sure that you clean and maintain your sex toys well. If you see that they are starting to get worn or looking a little frayed, then buy new ones. When removing anal beads, the partner that has them inserted needs to push them out as the other partner pulls them. Anal beads on a stick rather than a string are much less likely to break off.
