Anal beads are a type of sex toy for both men and women to use when alone or with a partner. This toy is a good introduction to
anal sex for beginners. Typically, anal beads are smooth, round spheres made of silicone or plastic. Resembling a
short strand of pearls, the beads are connected to one another by a piece of nylon cord or other type of strong rope-
like material, with a ring or some other type of handle at one end. Some anal beads feel
soft to the touch, while others are firm and textured. The beads are inserted gently one bead at a time into a person's anus. At the moment of
orgasm (or at other times), they are pulled out by the ring or handle. Another version of anal beads is similar to a dildo — made of plastic or rubber — where the shaft is a series of round spheres.
