Anal Beads Comparison
Don't miss out on that popping sensation 😎.
More than 85 posts on Safe Lust, and I still haven't reviewed anal beads 😲? Time to change that now!
In this post, we'll compare 3 silicone anal beads, how they are different, and which one you should get 🎖️! We'll conclude with what makes the best anal beads.
The candidates
The 3 anal beads candidates for this comparison
- Unbranded anal beads – note: always avoid unbranded toys and don't copy me 😉 more on that in a bit – however, these were sold by a reputable local sex toy shop
- Sinful Obaie Triple Motor Rechargeable Vibrating Beads
- Nexus Anal Beads Large
I've got more anal beads lying around, but these 3 seemed like the perfect fit for a comparison!
Depth disclaimer
Deep insertions require lots of patience and slow movements. Past 6"/15cm depth, we are in the colon instead of the rectum, with the sigmoid bend in between.
I prefer not to go past the sigmoid colon – to make sure I don't hurt myself, and that's what I'd recommend to you as well. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide at your own risk.
Unbranded Anal Beads
These beads start of tiny and gradually become larger. Unless you can get it fully in, these won't give you a stretch.
Let's keep things short:
- The silicone material on the unbranded beads feel nice
- The beads are very bendy, the material is super flexible
- In use, the beads going in and out give a tingling experience with its smaller size, no real challenge, but just comfortable enjoyment
However !
- The material is VERY stretchy in a sense that it scares me. If I pull it with few strength, it stretches a lot! I'd be afraid of it snapping and getting half the beads stuck inside.
That's a definite no – safety first! In one of my next posts, I'll be doing a snap-force test comparison to see how real this risk is. Stay tuned!
Nexus Anal Beads Large
That's quite a size difference, nice 😏! Although the diameter of the beads is not super challenging for an intermediate player, you have to keep in mind that with this large beaded shape throughout, each bead will make for a challenge, and especially the entry 😳.
Although this diameter wouldn't be challenging for most on regular tapered anal plugs, with its beaded circle shape, it does make for a challenge. The large size is perfect for intermediate experience with toys, but these aren't huge anal beads.
Since the beads here all have the same larger size:
- There's a real challenge with slow pushing in of the beads and an actual pop to get them back out 🥰 – tons of fun! I'm loving this! Alone or with a partner, this is super fun.
- The silicone material feels great, very flexible as well but more solid than the unbranded toy
- With this flexibility, I'm still slightly afraid of the beads potentially snapping off. With my tests it should in theory be strong enough, but the tiny risk is still there..
I believe this toy should be strong enough to keep the beads from snapping off, but as good as these beads feel, I have to admit the risk is still there.

The handle is strong and won't snap off, however it's not large enough to prevent the anal beads from getting fully sucked in. As long as you don't insert it all the way, that will be fine, as the handle is quite long.
Sinful Vibrating Beads
The Sinful Obaie anal beads are also bendy!
The beads all have a similar, decent, size. The beads are fully attached, meaning the 'pop' sensation won't be as noticeable, and it won't be as challenging to insert the beads as the previous ones. This will feel more like a beaded dildo instead. To keep things interesting, they've added fun textures on it.
How did it perform?
- Great sensations, easy to slide in and out, no real challenge
- Textures aren't so noticeable in practice, but I still thoroughly enjoyed this one
- No risk of beads snapping off, since it's all in one piece of similar-sized beads
The vibration patterns are cool, especially with the triple motors which are effectively used alternatingly in the vibration patterns. Noise-wise it is a bit noisy, the max noise level is around 71dB and usually between 55-71dB – more on noise levels in below article:
Safe Lust
It's not extremely loud, but the vibration strength cannot be controlled and it starts on a strong note which means it's less discreet.
In terms of safety, this has the least risk of snapping off, but the experience is totally different. The Nexus beads were giving a real challenge, pushing them in, one by one, slowly getting inserted. With that typical resistance when pulling them out.
The base is a bit too flexible, so you'd have to be more careful if you really go all the way. While it's not the secure base I'm used to, combined with its length it should still be ok if you're careful.
The Sinful Beads is still amazing as a beaded dildo and is recommended, but it does not give the same sensations as traditional anal beads if that's what you're looking for.
Final Ranking
Ranking of the best anal beads in this comparison, first is best
Let's rank them in terms of different aspects:
Anal Beads Safety Ranking
- Sinful Vibrating Beads – no risk of snapping off
- Nexus Excite – Large Anal Beads – potential moderate risk that needs to be checked further
- Unbranded Anal Beads – likely unsafe and not recommended
Anal Beads Pleasure Ranking
It's probably obvious the Nexus Anal Beads win for that exciting, challenging insertion.
As for the Sinful and unbranded beads? I'd still pick the Sinful vibrating beads as I don't have to insert it so deeply to have a larger width sliding in finally. With the unbranded beads, the large beads are only the last few beads, and it's not easy to fully insert it.
- Nexus Excite – Large Silicone Anal Beads
- Sinful Obaie – Silicone Vibrating Beads
- Unbranded Anal Beads – possibly unsafe and not recommended
Which anal beads should you get?
If you want that traditional anal beads feel, go for the Nexus Large Anal Beads or similar beaded toys from other reputed brands.
Take in mind that you don't want the beads to snap off, and instead of pulling with strength on the beads, relax to get them out in a more natural way, reducing any risk of them snapping.
With that said, anal beads are usually very affordable, and super rewarding, so go get some for yourself or your partner! If you've only tried butt plugs and dildos? You'd be amazed at how different and exciting the anal beads experience can be!
Anal Beads: Questions Answered
Here are some of the most popular anal beads questions answered:
What are the best anal beads?
For an amazing feel and secure play? You will need:
- A secure handle that won't snap when pulling
- The handle should be large enough or far enough from the beads to avoid getting the anal beads sucked in - anuses are hungry and tend to want to suck things in!
- Beads: either starting from small to large for a gentler experience, or evenly sized for more of a challenge
- The beads should have enough space between other to ensure that nice popping feeling
- The material between the beads should be much thinner than the beads, to ensure that popping feeling.
- The material between the beads should be thick enough so the beads won't break off while in use
- A soft silicone material would be my suggestion, but if you're in for rough play with rough anal beads? You could also get metal anal beads, like Njoy's anal beads. With the extra strength it takes to get anal beads in and out, I don't recommend glass anal beads.
The Nexus Excite beads are perfect to get started. They provide that feeling that you have to pop them in one by one, and even give it an extra push with a finger - lots of fun guaranteed 🥳.
Should I get anal beads? Are anal beads good?
If you're into anal play and have dabbled with some toys or fingers, yes, go for it! Anal beads should be in everybody's toybox! 🤩
If you're still saving up? There's no rush, you can always gradually expand your toybox 😊.
Nothing beats anal beads masturbation or play with your partner!
Are there other kinds of anal beads?
Yes! These are the more traditional anal beads that I've reviewed here.
There are also anal bead vibrating butt plugs, interactive anal beads, huge anal beads, metal anal beads, and so on.
Why do people use anal beads?
Regardless of gender, anal beads provide strong sensations on the anus, which is full of nerve-endings. Each bead insertion stretches out the anus and takes some very pleasurable stretch to get in.
Used along with other toys, during sex or other masturbation techniques will make for an even better orgasm.
How to use anal beads?
First, apply lots of lube to the anal beads and the anus. Gently push the first beads in, if there is too much resistance, stop, pause and tease the anus with the bead. Repeat this a few times until you are able to take it in.
If you feel too much stretching, it might be too large for you, do not force it, go slow and use lube.
Once the first bead is in, you'll want to push the next bead in, either by holding all anal beads and pushing it in, or by placing your finger on the anal bead to insert, until the anal bead goes in along with the tip of your finger.
Now you can leave it in place if it feels good, or go back and forth over one or two beads, or remove it gently and start again.
Never pull it out all at once in a rough way, you're not starting a lawnmower. Our intimate bits are sensitive and need to be treated as such.
