Anal beads or anal balls
In this article
“Anal beads or anal balls“ was written for BDSMforyou.nl by Mistress Moriah.
Despite the name anal beads, anal balls or anal pearls, these Chinese balls can also be used vaginally. They are hard little balls strung along a kind of cord. They can be made of plastic, but there are also ones made of metal or glass, and nowadays you mostly see them made of silicone. The balls themselves are about 1 to 2 centimetres across. There is often a ring at the end, so the string is easy to remove again.

Who are the beads meant for?
Anal beads are for both women and men, and even a beginner can get started with them just fine.
How does it work?
Anal beads have two or more beads that are inserted one by one, into the anus or the vagina. You can move them back and forth a little, which can be sexually stimulating. Anal beads are often experienced as "friendlier" than a butt plug. After all, they are not as big and also look a little less intimidating. The beads often vary in size, going from small to slightly larger.
How many beads you eventually insert depends on what feels good to you. The idea is that you remove them just before the orgasm, bead by bead. This sensation will intensify the orgasm even further. Pulled them out too early? Well, then you just push them back in for a moment. Of course you can also simply leave them in; some people already find the feeling of having these little balls in the anus very pleasant.
With vaginal use it will not always be necessary, but with anal use it is wise to use plenty of lubricant.
The difference between anal beads and an anal chain
Although I have used the words interchangeably here, there apparently is a difference between an anal chain and anal beads. With an anal chain there is generally more space between the individual balls. This makes it easier to insert (and remove) the balls one by one. Also, not all anal beads have a pull cord, whereas an anal chain does.
Different shapes
Like almost every toy, the smooth balls of the original anal beads have been seriously embellished. Nowadays you can also buy anal balls with nubs, grooves and ridges. You can imagine that every deviation from smoothness gives a different sensation, but also more resistance, so they come out less easily.
Experiment
The most important thing is that you discover what you like best. Smooth balls, ridged balls, 2 balls in, 4 balls in, anal or vaginal, and you can even use that ring to insert a vibrator, for even more fun!
Is it your first time using anal beads? Then build it up slowly. Start with small smooth balls and above all use plenty of lubricant.
Hygiene
Don't forget to clean the toy afterwards. You can first rinse it with warm water and a mild soap, and if you want to do it properly, then clean it extra thoroughly with a disinfectant or a good toy cleaner. If you want to switch between anal and vaginal use with the anal beads, make sure you clean them in between or use a condom. Otherwise intestinal bacteria can get into the bladder, which can lead to a bladder infection.
