Sinful Dancing Dildo Beads Review
You read that right, a dancing dildo π
Alright alright, but really, it's a dancing dildo. How could I resist buying it? That's not something you see every day π! Whenever I see unique toys, I jump on the buy button π.
Jokes aside, I bought this dancing dildo from Sinful, a trustworthy sex shop that operates in a variety of countries and recently started selling their very own sex toys β¨.
HOWEVER..., just like Lovehoney, Sinful also sells toxic sex toys (jelly materials and more). As long as you're wary of what you buy there, it's a trustworthy shop with good service. Of course, I would prefer they don't sell toxic sex toys at all, but here we are, and they do have some good deals on sex toys, along with a good collection.
Don't know about sex toy materials? Yet another time for a reminder to read my safe sex toy materials guide! Don't let me catch you with toxic toys π!
Packaging
First off, this is a very sleek and minimal packaging from Sinful. I really appreciate that it didn't contain any unnecessary plastics. Way to go ποΈ!
Inside, you'll find:
- The dancing beads dildo itself
- A USB magnetic recharging cable
- A user manual
I love the color they used for both the box and the dildo itself. A beautiful light blue is much more attractive than the usual plain black color.
Shape
The tip of the dancing beads has a slight curve on the top edge, which can be understood in two different ways:
- making it easier for insertion by tapering the tip
- replicating a thumb or penis glans shape
Either way, this is a great shape for a tip, which is sure to bring pleasure.
The dildo has 4-5 beads section.
Size
Seeing the below diameter, this toy would work great if you have intermediate experience with anal toys. If you're new to sex penetrative sex toys, this will be too large.
Total length: 7.4" / 18.8cm
Insertable length: 5.3" / 13.5cm
The challenging part of this toy is not its max diameter. With some anal experience you'll get used to that kind of size. Instead, it's the insertable length at 5.3" / 13.5cm which is quite long β especially considering its rigid shape!
Since the dancing beads are only moving the 3rd and 4th beads of the toy β counting from the tip, you'll want to make sure you can insert that much! If not, the beads will be dancing outside of your body and it will be just meh π. If you can handle this length though? Let the fun start! π
Noise Level
Here are the noise level stats for the dancing beads dildo β we'll talk about these a bit later. Spoiler β it's noisy!
Lowest setting: 82dB (that is a LOT!)
Highest setting: 88dB
Are you searching for the quietest sex toys? I've got you covered with my sex toy noise levels list:
Features
What more to say, DANCING π! Yes, dancing beads. What this actually means is the 3rd and 4th beads continuously rotate away from each other. Here's how that looks like in action:
According to the product page, there are 10 vibration patterns and 5 dancing beads speeds, operated with one button. I was a bit disappointed that the dancing beads only have speed control but not pattern control. This is a missed opportunity. I would've loved seeing the beads moving in different rhythms as well.
I also didn't really notice the different dancing beads' speeds; they all looked and felt the same. I couldn't choose what pattern I wanted as there was only one button.
Long-Term Wear
This is a long dildo that isn't suitable for long-term wear.
Material and Texture
The dancing beads is waterproof and made from body-safe silicone, one of the best materials for sex toys.
The silicone used feels very silky and smooth, high-quality.
How It Feels
Inserting it at first feels amazing, you can really feel the enjoyable shape of the tip which makes for an easy but stretchy insertion π - this along with the very comfortable silicone is great.
This dildo's shape is very long and straight, so as you go deeper, you'll notice it doesn't go further due to our anatomy. As you go deeper there is a sigmoid bend preventing going forward - especially with rigid toys.
I was able to comfortably insert 3 beads and, with some effort, 3.5 beads. However, I couldn't fully use the dancing beads since half of them were outside my body βΉοΈ.
Turning it on βοΈ
It's all right so far, but once I turned it on, this thing is LOUD ππ£! The issue isn't the dancing beads; it's the vibrations π³, which are super noisy and emit a really off-putting sound. Even if the dildo is inserted, it was still loud. The vibrations are medium-high-pitched buzzy β while the opposite, rumbly is much better.
Dancing beads π?
I did enjoy the dancing beads, but not as much as I anticipated. Since it was not fully inserted, it was more of a grinding feeling around my anus, which did feel good, but not extraordinary. Something like the B-Vibe rimming plug does so much more around that area.
Not to mention, due to its dildo shape, it won't stay in. Yes it has some beaded shape, but that doesn't help keep it in. It actively wants to eject. Either you push it onto your mattress/floor or hold it in with one hand the full ride π.
I wish I could turn on the dancing beads without the vibrations to avoid the noise - however there is no such setting.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Being waterproof and made from silicone, it's very easy to clean. Give it a quick wash with warm water and mild soap, and you're done. I like to dry it with a towel before storing it. You could air-dry it, but that tends to leave water stains on the toy.
Should you get it?
Unfortunately, I can't recommend this sex toy due to its high price and disappointing performance.
- Only the 3rd and 4th bead actually move
- The vibrations are loud, buzzy and offputting
If you only want to get it for its shape? Sure, the shape of the dildo is enjoyable, if you can get over the fact it won't stay put.
I'm still a huge fan of the dancing beads idea β but this specific toy needs to be refined in order to really enjoy that.
Alternatives
While this is my first 'dancing' dildo, I do have some competing toys in terms of innovative features!
A vibrating interactive butt plug:
A trio plug that combines 3 vibrating motors for very special effects:
A thumping plug that thumps its way in:
An inflatable vibrator at a very affordable price - my top #1 anal toy at the moment:
Or even a rimming plug:
Pricing
The dancing beads comes in at 58 USD / 54 EUR. I bought it on sale for 48 USD / 44 EUR.
Its price is on the high side, but considering it's a waterproof toy with rotating motors, it can be an acceptable price.
All in all, I do not recommend this sex toy due to its vibrations being loud, and only having the 3rd and 4th bead dancing. There are plenty of lower-cost alternatives which are more stimulating.
Summary
I really wanted this toy to be as amazing as it looked, however it did not live up to its name. I hope Sinful takes this constructive feedback to make a revised edition which will blow us all away π.
