The 9 Best Small Anal Beads to Start Off Your Anal Adventure
Our Reviews of Small Anal Beads Explained
Here at Bedbible, we use a few different methods to obtain information about products. Whether we’re comparing dildos or small vibrating anal beads, the process is the same! First, we personally test products (when possible). If we’ve had the opportunity to test out a toy then you can read about it by clicking on the “Read full review” link. After that, we head over to a manufacturer’s page to see what specs & claims they make about the toy/product. With this information in mind, we start to look at real-user reviews, searching for any differences between the manufacturer’s claims and the real-world performance. After all of this information has been gathered, we then give the product a “Bedbible Rating” (based on its design, ease of use, and quality)! This score (which goes from “1” to “5”) makes it easy to see which products perform the best, greatly reducing the time you spend digitally window shopping!
What Makes a Good Set of Small Anal Beads?
There are many variations available when it comes to anal beads, but if you’re looking for a quality set of small beads then you’ll want to make sure that whatever you choose checks off these boxes!
- Small Bead Diameter – We recommend looking for a maximum bead diameter of one inch or less. Don’t worry: you’ll have plenty of options, regardless of if you’re looking for small vibrating anal beads or more traditional toys.
- Graduated Size Beads – The term “graduated” simply means that the beads start smaller and grow larger as you progress down the string, making the insertion process easier.
- Small String – While there are many toys with extra-long strings, we recommend choosing a shorter string to start out with. You may also want to take the thickness of the string into consideration (vibrating beads tend to have thicker “strings” than their non-vibrating counterparts).
- Bead Shape – There are a few different bead shapes to choose from; this is up to personal preference!
- Material – The last thing you want is to introduce bacteria into your anus. We recommend sticking to non-porous toys (like silicone, metal, or glass) for your anal toys. Silicone anal beads are the preferred option.
- Handle/Base – One of the worst things that can happen is over inserting a toy into your anus. If it gets stuck then you’ll need to get it removed at the ER! To avoid this embarrassment, get yourself a toy with a handle/base that can prevent over-insertion.
FAQ
What are small anal beads?
Anal beads are typically a string of bulbous beads designed to be inserted into the anus one at a time. Pleasure comes from the insertion or removal of each bead. Small anal beads typically cater to beginners looking for an easier, less intimidating experience. Generally, these beads will have a diameter of 1.25” or less, but many strings will have graduated beads, which means the diameter increases from bead to bead. This is especially helpful for those who have never used anal beads before, as they can work from “very small” to small.

The user reviews are overwhelmingly positive for this innovative butt pleaser. The small anal beads are fully posable before insertion, allowing for some exciting creativity when it comes to positions and target areas. Once inside the beads adapt to the positioning of your body for an extra comfortable, firm feeling.
The 10 vibration functions are very intense – perhaps too intense if that’s not really your thing – and shockingly quiet for something of this strength. Ideal if you have thin walls or eager eavesdroppers.
Finally, the slim size makes them ideal for beginners. These are not graduated beads – they are all the same. This is more about how many you want to take, rather than how large you can go.
