After testing out 10 of the top-rated long anal beads we could find on our favorite sex toy retailers, our team decided that Blush Anal Adventures was the highest-rated of them all. Crafted from Ultra-silk silicone, they are softer and more squishier than the other models we tested, allowing them to shift with your movements more easily. This was a feature that we favored. They’re also incredibly girthy, with the largest bead boasting a 4.7-inch circumference, perfect for anyone looking for a new challenge in the bedroom or the perfect toy to start their butt training.
Test Winner: Blush Anal Adventures
Blush Anal Adventures got the highest rating in our review. After having the chance to test ten of the lengthiest anal beads we could find on the sites of our favorite sex toy retailers, my team and I landed on this set by Blush Anal Adventures as our favorite.
Budget Pick: Blush Luxe
The Luxe packs many of the same features as our previous pick but in more beginner-friendly (and pretty-in-pink) packaging. Coming in with an insertable length of over 10 inches, the Luxe hits all the right spots while also being very affordable.
Beginner: b-Vibe Cinco
The b-Vibe Cinco puts a fun twist on classic anal bead design—think a mix between anal beads and a butt plug, with the power of your favorite wand vibrator to boot. Needless to say, the Cinco quickly stole the hearts of myself and my team.

How We Picked The Products
Finding the best that the world of long anal beads had to offer was the top priority for this review. So the first step in preparing for this article included scouring all of our favorite adult retailers for the highest-rated products and any products that we thought offered a unique wow factor. After tracking down the ten best long anal beads, we then distributed them among our team of panel members. Our team consists of men and women of differing shapes and sizes to ensure that each of our recommended products is comfortable for a range of individuals.
During the testing process, each member of our team was instructed to give the anal toys a rating out of 100, based on the following test criteria. Using well-defined quantitative metrics helps us ensure that each is fairly judged and that only the highest-rated are recommended to our readers.
- Sensation: There’s only one reason why you’d use these products; because they feel amazing! We chose the sex toys that were better equipped to deliver pleasure, with our vibrating anal beads taking the cake.
- Special features: To keep things interesting, we included products that put a fun twist on classic anal beads, like our two vibrating options, the 21X Dark Rattler and the b-Vibe Cinco. But even our more traditional options include enough features to keep things interesting, like extra-girthy bead sizes, fun color options, and extremely lengthy bodies.
- Design: Most of the products in this review boast a very different design. But the one feature that is consistent among them is a flared base, a must-have for all anal sex toys.
- Size: Since this is a review for long anal beads, length was of utmost importance to our team of testers, no shorties allowed! But we were also on the lookout for toys with larger beads for our experienced readers and beginner-friendly sizes for our beloved newbies.
- Quality: When using low-quality devices, you always run the risk of them snapping or losing their outer casing after repeated use. To avoid a potentially dangerous situation and ensure that you have a product that you can use for life, all the anal beads in this review are made by trusted adult manufacturers.
- Material: Although some anal beads are made from glass and stainless steel, each of the products in this review is made from flexible plastic—silicone to be exact! Since we will never recommend something made from low-quality polymers to our readers.
- Price rating: Shopping on a budget? No problem. In addition to including luxury picks (with luxury price tags) like the Cinco, we also aim to provide high-quality toys that are a good fit for any budget, with our least expensive option costing only $15.99.
During testing, we rated each review sample based on the criteria listed above, starting from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). Each score was calculated using different weighted metrics depending on what we deemed most important. Half the total rating comes from Sensation (25%) and Special Features (25%). After that comes Design (15%), Size (15%), Quality (10%), Material (5%), and Price rating (5%)

1. Blush Anal Adventures: Our Overall Test Winner!
Why we love Blush Anal Adventures:
After having the chance to test ten of the lengthiest models we could find at our favorite sex toy retailers, my team and I landed on this set by Blush Anal Adventures as our highest-rated long anal beads. There was some debate among our team as to whether or not they could be considered a budget-friendly pick. Personally, I think that Blush Anal Adventures is better left for folks with a decent amount of experience. But my testers made the argument that even relative newbies could manage the first 2-4 beads and might appreciate their girth compared to most beginner picks.
So if you’re on the hunt for something girthy =that can deliver a pronounced “pop”, Blush Anal Adventures could be for you. However, beginners looking to experiment with a full length of anal beads will be better served with the next two products in this review. Regardless of your experience level, some notables about this Blush Anal Adventures set include its silicone, which is silky smooth to the touch and also surprisingly stretchy.
This pliability, which extends from the balls themselves to the cord between them, made housing the entirety more comfortable than the other products we reviewed. I felt like they were able to move comfortably with my body’s natural contours, even after inserting the full length. Their softness also made it so that it didn’t feel like heavy weights were resting inside me, which sometimes happens with harder material types. In terms of sizing, I thought the beads were the perfect distance apart from one another. Just far enough that you can get a really prominent popping sensation since your anus muscles have the chance to more or less close completely between each anal bead.
After managing the full girth of the second-last ball, it was also a relief to know that the last ball was a little smaller—it felt like a small reward. However, when pulling out the string, I think I would have appreciated the extra girth to start. That being said, the pull ring, which is coated in squishy silicone, was easy to grip onto during removal and also more than large enough to keep me from worrying about unwanted slippage during use.
Minor issues we found during testing:
Aside from being a little too big for most beginners, there isn’t much that I would change about this Blush Anal Adventures set (not that being big is a bad thing, anyway).
But for beginner butt-play lovers out there who want to start something more suitable for their experience, we recommend sticking to smaller toys for now. Take a look at these small butt plugs instead.
My only complaint is that despite being made from ultra-silk silicone which is known for being soft-to-the-touch, I did find that it was slightly grippy. So don’t forget to be generous with an extra-thick, water-based lubricant to keep everything gliding smoothly down there.
Why Blush Anal Adventures is the overall best long anal bead:
- Quality: I don’t know what it is about these anal beads, but something about them screams quality and luxury! They’re a toy that, even after my limited use, I feel confident recommending as a product that will last a literal lifetime. And their stretchiness and pliability, despite feeling incredibly solid and well-built, definitely contributed to their 94% overall rating, the highest on this list.
- Price rating: At $24.99, this Blush Anal Adventures product is inexpensive enough to be recommended as our budget-friendly pick. They’re so girthy, made from incredibly high-quality silicone, and regardless of your experience level, you can’t go wrong buying these. They’ll either be a perfect fit today or something you can look forward to using tomorrow. Overall, they gave us the second-best value for our money slightly behind Lush Luxe below.
Features:
- Material: Ultra-silk silicone
- Total Length: 16”
- Insertable Length: 15”
- Circumference: 2.8” – 4.7”
Pros:
- Made from ultra-silk silicone
- The beads gradually get more girthy
- Stretchy material moves well with your body
- Perfect for folks with moderate anal experience
Cons:
- Too large for most beginners
- Silicone is a little grippy
2. Blush Luxe: Our Budget Pick!
Why we love Blush Luxe:
Also created by Blush, the Luxe packs many of the same beloved features as our previous pick but in more beginner-friendly (and pretty-in-pink) packaging. Coming in with an insertable length of over 10 inches, the Luxe hits all the right spots while being small enough for even total newbies—no warm-up required.
With a width of 0.75 inches at its widest point, the Blush Luxe is perfect for anal training, but won’t do a whole lot for folks who already have a lot of prior experience with anal beads. This is the perfect toy for couples wanting the expand their horizons beyond a simple silicone butt plug but that isn’t yet ready for the big guns.
Even the colors, which include a beautiful shade of baby pink, gorgeous indigo, and princess purple, all have a very non-threatening air to them. This gives these silicone anal beads a very digestible look, despite being quite lengthy. Just like the Anal Aventures, the Blush Luxe is made with super stretchy silicone. Although the stretch (plus the fact that the first couple anal beads are quite small and your fingers will likely be pretty slick from lube) made insertion a little difficult, it also makes them able to move easily with the natural contours of your body.
They sit lightly inside you, adding a light presence that feels amazing, without feeling too heavy. When the time comes for removal, the stretchy silicone made all the difference in providing that “pop” we all know and love. The loop at the base is also nice and squishy and large enough to prevent slippage inwards. But because your ass gets pretty stretched from the larger anal beads closer to the toy’s base, I recommend keeping a finger through at all times to prevent unwanted travel.
With so many nooks and crannies for debris to hide in, you must give the Blush Luxe a thorough scrub post-anal-play with warm water and a generous helping of your favorite toy cleaner.
Minor issues we found during testing:
The anal beads on the tip are undeniably tiny, and because of their high level of flex, can be initially difficult to insert.
Once I got to around the third anal bead I felt like there was enough girth that the rest followed suit relatively easily. But beware of getting your fingers too slick with lube to start, otherwise, the tiny anal beads can slip right through your fingers.
So if plan to get this beaut and you didn’t put enough thought into what lube to use, please consider a more suitable one.
Why Blush Luxe is our budget pick:
- Price rating: Obviously, the most important factor to consider when recommending a budget pick is its price! And I guarantee you won’t be able to find anything that delivers this level of quality and sensation for less than $15.99, the price of the Blush Luxe. Despite its low price, the Blush Luxe still earned an average rating of 92%, easily beating the other budget-friendly anal beads we considered.
- Size: Size-wise, the Blush Luxe is the perfect balance of length and girth. handily winning this critical category in a landslide. It provides lots of room to play with without being so large that it requires tons of pre-anal-play prep. I also love recommending less expensive toys as beginner-friendly options, since they don’t require much of an investment upfront, so there’s very little risk should you decide anal beads aren’t for you.
Features:
- Material: Silicone in pink, indigo, and purple
- Total Length: 12.5”
- Insertable Length: 10.25”
- Circumference: 2.4” at its widest point
Pros:
- Three fun color options to choose from
- Made from a body-safe material
- Small enough for beginners
- Stretchy material moves with your body
- Ringed base for easy removal
Cons:
- Insertion can be tricky
- Small for experienced anal enthusiasts
3. b-Vibe Cinco: Most Beginner-Friendly!
Why we love b-Vibe Cinco:
The b-Vibe Cinco puts a fun twist on classic anal bead design—think a mix between anal beads and a butt plug, with the power of your favorite wand vibrator to boot. Needless to say, the Cinco quickly stole the hearts of myself and my team. Aptly named, the Cinco has five anal beads that increase in size as you move toward the T-shaped base, as seen in the image above. The smallest is a very manageable 0.7 inches across while the largest sits at 1.3 inches in diameter. If you’re new to anal play, rest assured that both of these sizes are more than manageable, even for total beginners.
With an insertable length of 7.4”, there’s a good chance you won’t even make it to the last bead—the first four kept me more than busy. But in case you do, I love that, unlike the other anal toys I’ve seen with a similar design, the Cinco actually comes with a flared base (seen in the image below) and doesn’t rely on the last bead to more or less act like a flared base. This means that you can play with its full length and adds an extra level of safety, allowing you to enjoy lubed-up, worry-free fun.
When playing with the Cinco, you have a few different options. First of which is inserting the full length (which is more than enough to satisfy any length queens out there) and using it as a butt plug. The T-shaped base is ergonomically correct and sits very comfortably between your cheeks, making it ideal for all-day wear. Otherwise, you can also use as a wand, inserting and removing it quickly, or indulge in the most beloved method for anal beads and pull it out right before orgasm.
Personally, I found the last option to be my favorite. Getting to the brink of orgasm while the Cinco was on full blast didn’t take long, and removing it right as I peaked gave me a bed-rocking orgasm—highly recommend it.
Minor issues we found during testing:
There’s no denying that the Cinco is long—like really long. While this is perfect for folks looking for a little extra length, (which I assume most of you are) it can feel a little more probey than your usual products even though the hard plastic core has a good amount of flex to it.
If you find that the length is a little too much, you might want to start with the Triplet Anal Beads, which have the same design but three anal beads instead of five.
Why b-Vibe Cinco is the most beginner-friendly:
- Special features: As far as features go, the Cinco didn’t leave much room for want. From being remote-controlled and USB rechargeable, to essentially combining all the best attributes of butt plugs, anal beads, and wands, the Cinco easily beat the competition. It earned a well-deserved rating of 93% from our team.
- Sensation: In terms of sensation, nothing beats a vibrating anal toy. Even without bumping the Cinco up to full blast, its vibrations were strong enough to set me over the edge. I also loved that the beads were set far enough apart that I was still able to enjoy the classic “popping” sensation that anal beads are known for.
If you want to see what the b-Vibe Cinco looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
Features:
- Material: Seamless silicone
- Insertable Length: 7.4”
- Circumference: 2.2” – 4.1”
Pros:
- The tapered design is ideal for beginners
- Comes with a remote control
- Made from high-quality silicone
- Has an actual flared base
- The T-shaped base is super comfy
- USB-rechargeable
Cons:
- Not especially budget-friendly ($170)

Other Good Alternatives
The Hosed 1.5 Inch Beaded Anal Snake is for all our experienced kinksters out there! In case the almost 19” insertable length wasn’t enough, this baby is also a whopping 1.5 inches wide, enough to make even our most experienced users squirm. While using it, I couldn’t help but wonder if it might cause damage to my intestines. But my worries came second to how amazing it felt, which had me inserting all 19” until what remained was the ultra-flared base. If you use the Beaded Snake for solo play, I recommend setting yourself up in front of the mirror so you can watch it disappear inside your back door—a huge turn-on. Otherwise, I’m sure your partner will enjoy the show!
The 21X Dark Rattler is our favorite vibrating product and probably our most unique pick in this review. Features-wise, these vibrating anal beads are absolutely stacked, with six anal beads—all boasting a completely different texture—a T-shaped flared base that also has an attached O-ring for easy removal, powerful vibrations, and a simple remote control that you can use to cycle through the ten different speed and vibration settings. Equipped with three separate motors, which are located in every second bead, you can feel its intense vibrations throughout the entire length of high-quality silicone. In addition to varying in texture, no bead is the same size and they don’t get larger incrementally, making for a wholly new experience with each passing bead.
What Are Long Anal Beads?
Long anal beads are just like the regular models just longer, more or less exactly what they sound like they would be! Lengthy anal beads with an elongated cord and several beads, sometimes of varying sizes, for you to play with.
How To Use Long Anal Beads?
If you’re new to the world of long anal beads, or anal beads in general, here’s a quick how-to on how to get started with your new toy.
- Always start by washing them, even if they’re fresh out of the package. This helps prevent the spread of bacteria to your sensitive bits. [1]
- Since anal beads are known for really getting up in there, you might also consider douching or using an enema before getting started. Make sure to just use water, no soap allowed!
- Then, depending on the size, you may want to warm up your bum using a finger or small butt plug to prepare it for a proper stretch.
- Once you’re ready, apply a generous amount of water-based lube and start popping them in! Go slowly and remember that you don’t have to use every anal bead on your first go.
- How you use the beads is up to you. Some people enjoy removing them one at a time while tapering their orgasm and others prefer to pop them out right as they orgasm to maximize intensity. Don’t be afraid to experiment to find what feels most pleasurable for you.
Pro tip: If you happen to purchase a long anal bead with vibration features like the b-Vibe Cinco, make sure to read our guide on how to have an anal orgasm using a vibrator and add that skill to your anal-play quiver

How To Clean Long Anal Beads?
With so many nooks and crannies for debris to hide in, it’s important to be extra careful when cleaning your long anal beads. Here’s a quick and easy step-by-step for you to follow.
-
- When the fun is over, take your toy directly to the sink or tub for a thorough cleanse.
- After wetting it, use your fingers or a sponge to rub mild soap or toy-specific cleanser all over your toy’s exterior.
- Rinse them clean with warm water before towel drying them and storing them somewhere safe. It’s a good idea to keep them in a box or cloth bag apart from your other toys to protect them from dust bunnies.
- Despite being non-porous, body-safe silicone sex toys can still hold onto unwanted odors. So it’s not a bad idea to boil 100% silicone sex toys every so often to help keep it scent-free. [2]

I am Sold! Where Can I Buy Them?
From my research, I have to say that SheVibe is my favorite retailer of long anal beads. However, b-Vibe and ExtremeRestraints also have some unique picks, and whatever you decide, all three offer high-quality products and amazing customer service to boot.
Note: You can check our list of the best anal beads and you’ll notice that most of the products we tested we’re from Shevibe.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is it safe to insert long anal beads?
Yes, long anal beads are created to be body-safe. As with any sex toy, the thing that will keep you safe is listening to your body’s natural cues and stopping play immediately if you experience sensations that feel more painful than just uncomfortable since a little discomfort is normal during butt play.
What lube to use with them?
If you’re using products made from stainless steel or glass, you’re welcome to use a lubricant of your choosing. However, since most long anal beads are made from body-safe silicone, it’s preferred to stick to a thick water-based lubricant or a water/silicone hybrid.
How to store long anal beads?
All sex toys (especially plastic ones) should be stored clean, completely dry, and in their own box or cloth bag, separate from your other toys. Although I’ll never recommend using jelly toys, keep in mind that they melt when stored together, so it’s especially important to keep them separate.
How to make your own long anal beads?
Anal toys, generally, are not something that should be recreated at home. They rely on a well-attached base to keep them from getting sucked into your bum, which almost always ends in an awkward trip to the emergency room. There are a couple of DIY options for you to check out in this article, but if you can, it’s better to stick to something store-bought.
