How to Use Anal Beads?

What Are Anal Beads?

Anal beads are an anal sex toy that looks like a string of beads that you insert in your anus and take out to enhance the stimulation on the anus and heighten the sensations. These are particularly effective if you take them out during an orgasm, as they can prolong the orgasm. The anal beads are made from a variety of materials and can have varying numbers of beads on them. Some models have three beads on a string, while there are advanced models with more than ten beads on them. Of course, tech advancements have been applied here as well, and now we carry vibrating beads that are highly satisfying to try.

How to Use Anal Beads?

Using anal beads is very satisfying, but you will need to know some things before you try these. Our sex experts prepared these tips on how to use anal beads, so please read these carefully and keep them in mind when playing with such sex toys.

• Start with a clean bum – always prepare beforehand when engaging in any form of anal play. That includes having a bowel movement and washing your bum with soap and water. If you need to, you can do an anal douche, but this is not entirely necessary if you have a healthy body.
• Clean the anal beads – always wash and sterilize your sex toys before and after use with soap and warm water and sex toy cleaner. That way, you will always have clean toys that won’t require a lengthy cleaning process, but a quick rinse will do.
• Use lube – the anus is not self-lubricating, so lube is a must when playing with anal toys like anal beads. We recommend you get a quality water-based lube that works with all sex toy materials and all skin types.
• Start slowly – when inserting the anal beads into your behind, you need to start with the smallest bulb, pushing one bulb at a time. After one is in, we suggest you take a short break and then insert another, and so on, until you feel like you have enough of them. There is no rule that you have to insert the entire string in one go, so listen to your body and do what feels comfortable.
• Keep them in – after you insert the anal beads, you can engage in other sexy plays, like playing with a dildo or a vibrator or having vaginal sex. You can also try moving with them, taking them out, and placing them back inside to experience the sensations. The best effect is to draw them out during an orgasm, as the added stimuli on the anus will heighten the orgasmic sensations.
• Slowly take them out – if you have enough of wearing the anal beads, you should take them out slowly to avoid pain. Pull on the cord and take them out, one bead at a time, and if you feel discomfort, try adding some lube to ease them out.

How to Select Anal Beads?

Now that we’ve covered the main points on how to use anal beads, let’s touch upon how to select anal beads. we have covered this as length in another blog, so here are the basics on choosing anal beads:

• Design – the anal beads have a simple design, as these are a series of beads or bulbs with increasing sizes on a string. You can select between modes with a few or a lot of beads, vibrating models, and flexible or firm models.
• Material – we recommend you get anal toys like anal beads that are made from body-safe materials like silicone, stainless steel, or glass, as these are non-porous, body-safe, and effortless to clean and sterilize.
• Size & length – the size and length of the anal beads are essential for satisfactory play, as beginners should get smaller toys. At the same time, experienced users can enjoy larger, more extensive models. We list all the dimensions in our product descriptions, so make sure you check the dimensions before purchasing anal beads.
• Features – here, we are thinking about vibrations, spiraling beads, anal bead sets, a T-shaped or O-shaped base, and the like. Consider the extra features and get the ones you like best.

Tips for Safe Anal Beads Use

Using anal beads is not a new thing, as there is historic data placing the start of anal beads use at around the 14th century in China, which means people have been using these for ages. Before we let you go to enjoy your latest purchase, here are some tips for safe use of anal beads:

• Choose a suitable design – we advise beginner anal beads users to stick to models with fewer beads that have smaller sizes and won’t feel too intrusive at first. After you gain some experience, you should move on to anal beads with more beads or models with larger diameters.
• Vibrations are welcomed – you can get vibrating anal beads that feel even more sensational when inserted in the bum. But here, we must note that some of you may find the sensations overwhelming, so only engage the vibes after you get used to wearing the anal beads as manual toys.
• Safety in mind – always buy sex toys from body-safe materials like silicone, glass, or stainless steel, as these are non-porous and easy to clean. We advise you to only use water-based lube for silicone anal beads, and you can use silicone lubes for glass or stainless steel anal beads. Please note that while numbing lubes may sound appealing, these are a health risk, as you won’t feel if something goes wrong, and you can cause more harm.
