Why I Chose It
I chose the Romp Amp anal beads as the overall best anal beads as they deliver form and function at a great price! In my experience, unless you are looking for additional features, like vibrations, you don’t need to spend a whole lot to get some good anal beads!
Our tester, Moe, thoroughly enjoyed using these anal beads with his partner. He loved the teasing stimulation of his wife “randomly pulling the string out one, two, or three beads at a time then slowly sliding them back into place” and “would highly recommend these beads during hand or blow-jobs!”
They liked the ring loop in the handle as it “makes pulling on the beads easy but won’t surprise you if you forget about it and sit down on it.”

Why I Chose It
I think these are a solid pair of anal beads for someone with a little more experience who likes a pronounced pop!
Our reviewer, Flora, was impressed with the overall quality and design of these anal beads. Her favorite things about these anal beads were that they were “simple to insert, and flexible enough to comfortably wear during extended sessions.”
Although they were a little on the big side for her, she did still conclude that they are great set of anal beads for a very reasonable price. She also liked that the “T-bar base kept the toy safely in place, while the sphincters rested comfortably around the tiny stem.”
However, she did find that the silicone was prone to retaining smell, both from the factory and after use.

Why I Chose It
What Did Our Tester Think?
Cassie was very happy that the Fifty Shades of Grey Pleasure Intensified Anal Beads were her first foray into the world of anal beads. She loved that she could gently ease into the experience but did note that they first beads could be a little tricky to insert because of the flexibility.
“They really are perfect for any anal beginners who are curious about trying anal beads. The graduating sizes, slim body, tapered shapes, and the over flexibility make these beads ideal for newbies! While I don’t think very experienced users would find much stimulation in the girth, I still believe they could be used as every-day anal beads! “
Sex Expert Opinion:
If I were to go back to my first anal bead or even anal toy experience, these are the beads I would reach for! The first beads are so small, and while they don’t provide that much stimulation, they are a great way to get ready for the bigger beads. Plus, with a maximum diameter of 0.9 inches, all of the beads are a very manageable size so you can enjoy the whole length without worrying about it getting too thick.
That being said, now I’m more experienced with anal play, I would find these a little small and doubt they would be satisfying enough.

- Silicone beads gradually increase in size
- Loop handle
Pros
- ✅ Beads are well spaced
- ✅ Satisfying size increase
- ✅ Easy to insert
Cons
- ❌ Smaller balls less noticeable
- ❌ Pull ring could be stronger
Specifications
Why I Chose It
At just under $15 these anal beads are a steal! They are everything I would look for in a straightforward set of anal beads — body safe and easy to use!
Bruce reviewed them for us and wrote that “as an avid user, this toy was a bit small but still exciting to play with!”
Together with his partner, they “enjoyed the extra stimulation with this product to elevate our personal playtime in the bedroom.” He found that removing the beads at the point of orgasm “slightly extends the length of climax” and left him “speechless.”
He liked that it “slides in easily due to the surface texture and softness” but wishes the ring pull was made of slightly thicker silicone to make it more durable.

- Vibrating anal beads with 2 vibrating motors
- Smaller bead at the tip
- Remote control
Pros
- ✅ Filling but approachable length and girth
- ✅ Powerful vibrations
- ✅ Vibrations are focussed internally
- ✅ Comes with informative anal play guide
Cons
- ❌ Silicone can retain some smell
- ❌ Only splashproof not waterproof
Specifications
Why I Chose It
I chose the b-Vibe Triplet as the best vibrating anal beads as they are such a level above the standard vibrating anal beads that tend to be weak and buzzy. However, by having not one but two motors located inside the beads, rather than in the base, the Triplet beads have a lot more stimulation where you want it!
I tested out the the larger version, the b-Vibe Cinco, and was really impressed by the vibrations and overall quality!
David tested the Triplet out for us and was pleased that “the b-Vibe Triplet preformed better then [he] anticipated,” commenting that “the vibrations were both stronger and more rumbly than [he] expected.”
He liked the “comfortable T-shaped base” and that “the beads are well sized for easy insertion but provide plenty of stimulation.” He also found that it “stayed comfortably in place” during partnered sex!
David did find that the silicone can retain smell, but having had the same issue with my b-Vibe toys, I’ve found that cleaning them immediately after use and allowing them to air dry negates the problem!

- Curved double-ended wand
- Tapered beads
- 316 grade stainless steel
Pros
- ✅ Two toys in one
- ✅ Can be used vaginally or anally
- ✅ Great for temperature play
- ✅ Luxurious and versatile design
Cons
- ❌ Pricey
- ❌ Heavy
- ❌ Anal beads on the shorter side
Specifications
Why I Chose It
I’m a massive fan of njoy’s stainless steel sex toys — they’ve really mastered the art of simple but well-designed sex toys that will last a lifetime! This double sided wand is great for exploring a range of anal sensations. It’s the kind of anal beads I’d reach for when I was looking for more intense sensations or for some temperature play!
Both our reviewer Kasia and her partner fell head over heels for the njoy Fun Wand, commenting that they “might have to fight over it now!” They found it was “amazing for vaginal and anal play, body massages and temperature play.”
Kasia was surprised she “enjoyed the beads, even though the anal play is not [her] favorite thing.” She also liked that both ends were “curved for intense stimulation,” making it easy to massage the g-spot or p-spot.
I will also say that while the Fun Wand can look a little intimidating, the smoothness and rigidity actually make stainless steel anal toys very easy to use!

Why I Chose It
I can’t say this enough though, they are big! These 2.38-inch diameter beads are completely rigid and lack any kind of taper, so they are going to be too big for most people!
Out tester, Allen, who is used to advanced anal toys, was excited to give these beads a go, but unfortunately found them too big and difficult to insert, commenting “these anal beads are MASSIVE, and would be a challenge for even the most experienced anal enthusiasts!”
The main challenge is that they are “wide right from the get go with ZERO taper to help get things started.” They are also “ridged and had no give what so ever.”
With some patience and practive, Allen was able to insert the first two balls and though “they felt great, satisfyingly filling and not uncomfortable in any way.”

If You Are Looking For…
- Long anal beads, I recommend the Anal Adventures Platinum Anal Beads for a beginner-friendly size or the Cannonballs Giant Anal Beads for more extreme stretching.
- Wearable anal beads, I recommend the Romp Amp Anal Beads as the T-bar base is secure and comfortable when moving around.
- Anal beads that are easy to remove at the point of orgasm, I recommend looking for anal beads with a loop handle, like the Sex and Mischief Anal Beads, Fifty Shades of Grey Anal Beads, or the Anal Adventures Anal Beads.
How do Anal Beads Work?
Anal beads are unique, pleasurable, and versatile! They may seem a little confusing when compared to a butt plug or other anal toys, but anal beads make a great addition to any type of play. Here are some aspects to consider when choosing your anal beads, and how each choice makes a difference in your experience.
Flared vs. Finger Loop
All anal toys need some sort of flared base for safety, but there is a suprising range of choices. The main two to consider when looking at anal beads are a plain flared base or a finger loop. They are fairly self-explanitory, however both have pros and cons. A flared base is safer and more reassuring than a finger loop and can often attach to a strap-on. A finger loop, however, makes for incredibly easy retrieval.
Glass or Metal Beads
Body safe and extremely rigid, anal beads made from these materials look more intimidating than they feel. While stiff , if you are well-prepared for butt stuff than the stretch will be easy and orgasmic. A rigid material presses firmly against all the best zones while being completely body safe. Not to mention the temperature play possibilities! With a little cold or hot water, this toy can be transformed for an entirely new experience.
Flexible vs. Firm
If silicone is still the way you would like to go, the question is whether you want something bendy or firm. A firm toy will provide more sensation while fully inserted, and a flexible toy will provide more sensation when being removed. A key aspect to remember is that an extremely flexible toy may require a little more patience to insert for beginners.
Good Vibrations
Last but not least, the vibrating anal beads. Whether you have a p-spot or not, vibrating anal beads are a euphoric sensation. They may be a little more insense than a true beginner to any anal play prefers, but if that is the case then you could always wait to turn the vibes on until you are a little more practiced. All it comes down to is if you would like to give it a try!
Anal Beads vs Anal Dildos
When looking for the next toy in your arsenal, the question of anal dildos vs anal beads may come up. Both have their unique strengths and attributes, and it will likely come down to personal preference or experience level. However, for a little help in making a decision, here are some comparisons.
Differences
Unlike anal dildos, anal beads are meant to be inserted and removed bead by bead, with the main stimulation coming from the anus stretching and releasing over each bead. While there are many types anal dildos, they tend to more closely mimic the sensations of anal sex with a partner.
Anal Dildos
- Great for mimicking or preparing for anal sex.
- Often have a suction cup base for hands-free play.
- Can be found in realistic designs that closely resemble a penis.
- Great for thrusting.
Anal Beads
- Pleasure from beads popping in and out of anus.
- Often starts smaller and gets bigger for gradual build up.
- Can be removed as you orgasms for extra pleasure.
Materials: What to look for and what to avoid
- Silicone (recommended) – I think silicone is by far one of the best materials for anal beads both in terms of safety and sensation. Silicone is non-porous, meaning it is doesn’t harbor bacteria and it can be fully sterilised (if it doesn’t have an electrical components). It’s also lovely and smooth and often flexible.
- Metal/glass – Both metal and glass anal beads are non-porous and easy to clean/sterilise. Their rigidity makes them easy to insert and offers a firmer kind of stimulation. They have a lovely glide to them, can be heated or cooled, and are compatible with all lubes, including silicone lube.
- Materials to avoid: anything made of TPE/TPR, soft plastic, PVC as these materials have tiny holes that can habor bacteria and mold. Some also contain harmful chemicals.
