Anal beads resemble a string of pearls or beads, usually very large beads, which can be inserted into the anal cavity. Part of the fun is putting anal beads in, but most people prefer the pleasure of pulling anal beads out, particularly at the height of orgasm. This can create a series of strong waves of stimulation in the anal area, which coincides with the muscular contractions of the sphincter, resulting in a mind blowing enhanced orgasm.

In their most basic form, anal beads are simply a set of moulded plastic beads on a string, usually with a pull ring for extraction. When using plastic anal beads make sure the anal beads are smooth as in some instances edges from the moulding process remain. Examine the anal beads carefully before use and smooth out any seams or protrusions with an emery board or some fine sandpaper. If you can find strands of beads that have been dipped entirely in latex or silicone, this will solve the problem. There are also metal beads for added weight, or beads with internal weights that move around when they're inside you. At the end of the day personal preference rules the anal roost.

Anal beads vary in size, but they have to be large enough to create a distinct impression, or blip, as they pass through the sphincter. In an average set, the anal beads are .5 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Larger sizes are available where the beads can measure 2 to 3 inches in diameter, but we don't recommend them unless the user is very experienced with anal play. Some anal bead sets are graduated, beginning with smaller anal beads and increasing in size. These types of anal beads can be handy for beginners, because you can start with the first few anal beads and work your way up to the larger anal beads.

Inserting Anal Beads

When you are putting something up your anus or indeed in someone else's, sexual lubrication (Anal Eaze), patience, communication and common sense are the key. Always lubricate your partner's asshole liberally or your own if you're going solo. It may be worth warming up by inserting a finger or two to get the arse muscles primed and open. Lubricate the anal beads or sex toy and insert slowly. This can be tricky when everything, including your fingers, is slippery with sexual lubrication but without sexual lubrication damage could be caused.

There are now many types of sexual lubrication on the sex toy market including specialist anal lubricants such as Anal Eaze or Adam & Eve all these will help to make your anal experience a most enjoyable occasion.

What's a Butt or Anal Plug

Butt or anal plugs are sex toys that are specially designed to fit, and stay, in your anal passage. Butt or anal plugs are usually cone shaped, they start slender & then widen a little or a lot then taper in again and widen out to a flange or base that secures the anal plug and keeps it from slipping completely into your rectum such as the Large White anal Plug.

Start Small

The smallest butt plugs are about the size of a slender finger which should be an easy fit for even the most inexperienced (the Pink Anal Plug). Jelly anal plugs or rubber anal plugs are also a good bet for the beginner since they have more give. Anal training sets like the Anal Beginners Kit are available which include a set of increasingly larger anal plugs, some sexual lubrication & even a vibrator. The more slender an anal plug however, the easier it is for it to slip out. Some of the smaller anal plugs are now designed with a bump or bulge in them to give the sphincter muscles something to hold on to e.g Triple Ripple. Other anal plugs are curved or crooked to better fit the contours of your inner passages and give extra prostate or G-spot stimulation (Men's Pleasure Wand). The anal plug should curve toward your belly button as it's inserted such as the Rear Ender.

To get accustomed to using a butt plug, first start with some sexual lubrication and a finger. Use slow and gentle in-and-out probing to let the asshole get used to having something in it. Once the anal muscles have relaxed and are used to the sensations caused by penetration, insert the well lubricated anal butt plug. Try leaving your anal butt plug in place for just a few minutes at first, then try increasing the length of time in subsequent sessions. Relax and get used to it, try masturbating with it in, then work up to intercourse or other sex play while wearing the anal plug.

Moving on up

For intermediate or more adventurous anal butt play you may want to try a larger anal plug, or one built like a stack of incrementally larger balls. You or your partner can twist, bump, or work the anal plug in and out for extra stimulation. Sensation intensifies as the sphincter spreads open and then clenches around the base of the anal plug or its undulations. Some people prefer stockier or more bulb-shaped anal plugs.

As your comfort with your butt plug increases, you may want to incorporate it into more of your sexual activities, or simply enjoy wearing your anal plug by yourself. Some people like to keep a butt plug inserted prior to anal sex, to keep the anal muscles receptive to deeper penetration.

Extreme Anal Plugging

Of course, as you'd expect in the world of sex toys, extra large anal butt plugs are available for those who really want to push their limits. There are also inflatable butt plugs ( Colt Anal Expanding Butt Plug), anal plugs that ejaculate and anal butt plugs that vibrate .

Anal plugs occasionally have something attached to the end that extends beyond the buttocks, usually as part of a fetish scene. An example of this is the Ostrich Feather Tickler Butt Plug, in which participants may wear an anal plug with a feather attached. Anal plugs are also available in shapes that may cater to certain interest groups.

Top Ten Anal Tips

1. Start with a small anal plug. Anal plugs are available in a range of sizes, from petite - the Pink Anal Plug to some a little more challenging - the Anal Beaded Rod. We recommend that you start with a small anal plug & work your way up to a bigger anal plugs. With patience and practice, you'll be able to take larger anal plugs such as Double trouble - that is if you want to!
2. Use sexual lubrication with your anal plug . Always use plenty of sexual lubricant to ease in your anal plug. Use enough sexual lubrication to get the anal plug in easily, but don't use too much, or you may have trouble keeping the anal plug in place, especially if it's a small anal plug. If you're really concerned about discomfort, you can use a desensitizing sexual lube like Anal Eaze.
3. Warm up and get your bottom ready for action by stroking and stretching your asshole with a couple of well-lubricated fingers. Insert a finger or two in your anal passage and move in circular and in-and-out motions. This will get your arse lubricated and primed and stretch out your sphincter muscles for the anal plug.
4. Bear down as you insert the anal plug, bear down with your anal muscles as if pushing out a bowel movement. This opens up your arse and makes it easier to push the anal plug in.
5. Go slow, most butt plugs are tapered at the end and gradually increase in diameter toward the base e.g. the Medium Anal Plug. Push the anal plug in slowly and apply steady pressure until it pops into place.
6. Hit your anal hot spot! Anal butt plugs that are angled or curved e.g. the Anal Rear Ender and the Anatomical Anal Plug are designed to stimulate the prostate gland in men and the G-spot in women by putting pressure on those spots. Make sure the anal plug is angling toward your belly button when you insert it to position the curve properly.
7. Give it a buzz. A vibrating butt plug such as the Wild Thing Pleaser adds new dimensions of anal pleasure to anal plugs. Because the nerves in the rectum are so sensitive, any vibrations are deeply felt and highly stimulating.
8. Open the back door for more. Anal butt plugs are a great warm up for anal sex. Insert an anal plug and wear the anal plug for 10 or 15 minutes to get the anal muscles relaxed and receptive for deeper penetration. Pop out the anal plug, add some more sexual lubrication and you'll be all set for anal intercourse.
9. Get busy: Once your anal plug is in place, get busy masturbating or having sex with your partner. The anal plug provides you with constant anal stimulation and leaves your hands free for other activities.
10. Push it out: When you're done playing, bear down with your anal muscles and push the anal plug out. You may have to pull it at the same time.
