The 12 Best Anal Beads Out There for Shivers and Shudders
How we tested the best anal beads
Here at BedBible we love nothing more than some straight forward, honest and truthful reviews – especially for anal sex toys. That’s why, when researching anal beads, we searched every single corner of the internet for anal bead reviews from your average user. PR fluff and corporate speak is all well and good, but sometimes you just want to be told straight: what are the pros, what are the cons. That’s why we’re here! We collated all these honest-to-God reviews, combined them with the observations and objective thoughts of our amazing sex toy testing team, and came out with our review! Overall we’ve put over 60 hours into this post, so trust us when we say it’s the most balanced and well-thought-out anal beads review that’s out there!
Vibrating vs non-vibrating
Anal beads that vibrate sound awesome, don’t they! Like, a nice string of beads that vibrate inside your ass can only be a good thing, right? Well, some people aren’t a massive fan of them! So when buying anal beads you have to weigh up the pros and cons of buying vibrating or non-vibrating. With non-vibrating ones you get the traditional kind of anal beads. They are tried and tested and definitely work. But adding the aspect of vibrations to it really ups the ante. And here’s the thing, if you try the vibrations, and they’re not for you, you can just not use that function and still be left with traditional, non-vibrating anal beads! So as far as we’re concerned buying vibrating anal beads is a win-win situation!
Materials: what to look for and what to avoid
When it comes to anal sex toys, and especially anal beads, there are definitely some materials that are better than others. Let’s take a look at a few of the ones that you need to look for as well as some that you could really do with avoiding!
- Silicone (recommended) – Oh, we do love a good silicone toy here at BedBible! Silicone anal beads are great for a wide range of reasons, including that it feels realistic and flesh-like, and it’s non-porous, meaning it won’t keep hold of any bacteria or any other nasty surprises. It’s simple to clean, flexible, and feels fantastic!
- Metal/glass (recommended) – Both firm and harsh materials when it comes to anal beads, metal and glass are on equal pegging. They have many of the same qualities, including that unforgiving stiffness and non-porous body. Both can be warmed up or cooled down, meaning they’re great for temperature play.
- TPE/TPR (not recommended) – A soft kind of plastic or rubber, TPE/TPR isn’t the most ideal material for anal beads. This is mainly because it is porous, meaning bacteria and gets can get into the material. While it’s not the worst material in the world, it still takes a lot of extra cleaning and extra care to get it sanitized again.
- PVC (not recommended) – And now we come to the least recommended material on this list: PVC. This is a non-body-safe material that not only has the potential to harbor plenty of bacteria, but also leech harmful chemicals into your body! So when it comes to PVC anal beads we would STRONGLY recommend avoiding them at all costs!
What size anal beads to buy
Suggesting a certain size of anal beads to buy is tricky: everyone is different in their likes and dislikes, so it’s very much a personal choice. For beginners, we would obviously recommend anal beads with a smaller width as you aren’t yet used to anything larger. As you gain more and more experience and confidence, you can slowly work your way up to anal beads with a larger width. One thing that we would like to point out though is that anal beads tend to be gradually sized, starting off with a smaller bead then getting bigger and bigger as they go along. This makes it useful for training your butt to take a larger width anal bead. Don’t push yourself, be patient, use plenty of lubes (only use silicone lubes if you are using a non-silicone anal bead), and soon enough you’ll be an anal bead expert, able to take the biggest toys in the toy box!
FAQ
What are Anal Beads?
Anal beads are a specific type of anal sex toy that has distinct and connected bulbs called "beads.". In some ways they are very similar to butt plugs - just with more of them at once. They are typically round or oblong with a small space in between each bead that returns to the minimum diameter of the toy. Anal beads are not purposefully designed to be used for rough thrusting, but rather to be gently inserted and wiggled or slowly pulled out. The unique sensation of anal beads is a sort of "popping" in or out as the toy is either inserted or removed.

Larger beads for a wide stretchRemote-controlled vibrationsPlenty of length to build up toTons of vibe patterns and several intensitiesSome find tapered beads easierNot for anal beginnersIt's recommended to keep hold of the baseFeaturing same-size beads rather than a tapered style is definitely a step up from beginner to intermediate. Adding the euphoric rumbly vibrations to the wide balls is what makes the Nexus Quattro our winning choice for vibrating anal beads.
If you think you’re ready for the size and vibes of the Nexus Quattro then it’s worth investing in. The great aspect of anal beads for beginners and experts alike is that insertion can be stopped after any bead of your choice. Each space in between the bead acts as a stopper, and insertion takes intention. This means that even if you only want one or two beads inserted, this is still a fantastic choice!
