Anal beads are a sex toy that consists of several small balls attached together in series which are inserted through the anus into the rectum and then removed with varying speeds depending on the effect desired. Those who use anal beads enjoy the pleasurable feeling they receive as the ball passes through the narrow sphincter of the anus.
Anal beads were no doubt used in antiquity, but in modern versions they are most often made of semi-rigid plastic and end with a ring. The purpose of this ring is to prevent the sex toy from becoming fully lodged in the rectum as well as to pull the toy out in the manner intended.
New plastic anal beads, especially inexpensive ones, might have small, potentially sharp remainings from the manufacturing process on them. One may use a nail file or semi-coarse sand paper to remove this extraneous material, making the toy more comfortable and reducing the risk of injury to the rectum.
As with all anal sexual activity, the anal beads and the rectum should be well-lubricated with a sexual lubricant intended for such purposes. It is important to do this as the rectum is easily ripped or injured.
Anal beads should be well washed with warm soapy water and left to dry naturally after use.See Also
