As someone who has only tried rigid, tapered beads, I stepped out of my comfort zone when I bought the Vixen Gemstones Silicone Anal Beads. These anal beads promised a fuller experience and a “popping sensation.” Curious, I decided to buy a set (fully expecting to be disappointed). To my surprise, they were a delightful revelation and offered a completely different dimension of pleasure than I had anticipated.
So, if you’re butt-curious like me, seeking something new and exciting in your anal play, they might just be the game-changer you’ve been waiting for. Keep reading my Vixen Gemstones Anal Beads review to learn more about my experience!
The Vixen Creations Gemstones have a sleek and minimalistic design. Made from high-quality platinum silicone, these beads are both durable and body-safe, ensuring a worry-free experience. They come with a higher price tag (starting at $120) but that’s justified when you consider it’s a durable product that will likely become a treasured long-term companion. With four sizes available – small, medium, large, and extra-large – you get to choose the perfect fit to suit your desires. So whether you’re a novice or a seasoned anal adventurer, this is a sex toy that everyone can get behind!
Who is This For? If you don’t own a similar product, the Vixen Gemstones offer an intriguing option to explore your limits and discover new sensations. For those already familiar with products like Fifty Shades of Grey, you’ll appreciate the upgrade in quality and craftsmanship that the Vixen Gemstones bring to the table. And, if you’re comparing it to options like the b-Vibe Triplet Anal Beads, the consistent sizing offers a unique sensation with simplicity in mind, allowing you to indulge in a totally different experience.
Who Is This Not For? If you’re seeking something with multiple sizes or a tapered design, these beads may not provide the desired variety or gradual sensation you crave. Similarly, if you enjoy vigorous in and out motions during anal play, you may want to consider options with a more rigid structure, like the b-Vibe Triplet Anal Beads. Additionally, if you’re looking for added stimulation through vibrations or the convenience of remote-control functionality, other options like b-Vibe Cinco Anal Beads can better fulfill your needs.
You Can Buy It on the Shevibe website for $102.00 or the Peepshowtoys website for $99.00.

First Impressions and Features
Unboxing
The Vixen Gemstones come in a simple reusable tube with a handy manual (image below). I felt that the packaging could have been plusher, but maybe the designers were so confident with their product that they didn’t feel the need to add any frills. The tube opened with a quick twist of the cap. Inside lay the Vixen Gemstones. The emerald color was truly stunning and weight-wise, they felt just right in my hands. The beads were also very sturdy and didn’t feel sticky as they’re made of platinum silicone (more on that later).

My Personal Experience
I’ve dabbled in anal play before, but this was my first time using same-sized beads, and let me just say, it was a step up in the game! I must admit, the initial insertion was not as smooth as with something like the B-Vibe Cinco, where you can work your way up. But once those Vixen Gemstones were in, the feeling of fullness followed by the sensation of removing them was nothing short of incredible.
As each bead popped out, I had shivers of delight rushing through me. It’s truly an experience that takes anal play to new heights and keeps you coming back for more. To improve your anal play, make sure you know how to have an anal orgasm first.
Packaging
As you can see in the image below, the packaging is not overly fancy or pretentious, but it has a certain charm that makes you want to keep it on your bedside table as a conversation starter. I think the designers didn’t feel the need to spend time on packaging seeing as they had created such a great product. Or perhaps the simple packaging allows users to focus on the goods. It certainly had that effect on me. Over time, I found the small tube quite handy for storage and travel.
Build Quality
The Vixen Gemstones are constructed with 100% platinum silicone, which means they are of exceptional build quality. In a nutshell, you can expect a comfortable insertion and removal process. These beads will also withstand regular use without compromising their shape or integrity. Being non-porous, cleaning is effortless and you can be assured of a hygienic experience. These beads are a long-term investment, offering years of reliable enjoyment and satisfaction.
Design
With their seamless silicone construction (both around the beads and the cord) they offer a hygienic and easy-to-clean experience, essential for the oft-times messy world of anal play. The flexible joints between the beads add an extra layer of comfort, accommodating your body’s natural movements during use.
Further, the Vixen Gemstones come in various captivating colors, hand-dipped and crafted to please all genders. I opted for the small size, which comes in a stunning emerald green color. The beads also have a practical flared base (image above) that fits comfortably between my butt cheeks, adding to my overall confidence and enjoyment when using the toy.
Materials
I thought “platinum silicone” was just meaningless marketing talk until I looked it up. As it turns out, it’s a high-quality type of silicone that offers several advantages for anal beads in particular. Its flexibility and elasticity ensure a comfortable fit. At the same time, the Vixen Gemstones will never lose their original shape. This type of silicone is also heat and chemical-resistant, which means it’s compatible with different types of lubricants and easy to clean.
It’s used in a lot of medical devices because it does not cause any adverse reactions when it comes in contact with human bodies. For me, the best part of this material is how it’s non-stick. There is nothing worse than getting lint or other stuff stuck on toys. You can read more about the best materials for sex toys right here.
Ease of use
Contrary to the reputation of evenly sized beads being a more advanced toy, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to insert the small-sized Gemstone beads. With a diameter of less than an inch, they cater to beginners and provide a comfortable experience. If you need more size, go with Smokey Onyx (medium beads) or Sapphire Blue (large beads).
One of the standout benefits of these sorts of beads is their remarkable capacity to reach deeper. I simply slid them in, one by one, eagerly anticipating the thrilling grand exodus. Even with the small size measuring 13.5 inches in length, the thrilling pops during removal were very satisfying. Additionally, the flared base handle offers a secure grip, making it easy to pull out the beads at your preferred pace.
Stimulations
As someone who typically opts for tapered beads, this was my first time exploring evenly sized-beads. I found them fairly easy to insert though, and once those Vixen Gemstones were in, the gentle pressure against my inner walls awakened a sense of heightened arousal that got me going. The sheer ecstasy of pulling them out during the climax was a new sensation for me. It’s truly an experience that takes anal play to new heights and keeps you coming back for more.
Versatility
The Vixen Gemstones have a flexible design, which is great for solo as well as partnered sex. Unlike a more rigid design, such as the B-vibe Cinco, this flexibility allows the beads to adapt to your body’s movements for more natural contouring. I vividly remember when I used mine solo for the first time and found myself rocking back and forth, savoring the intense sensations they provided.
The Vixen Gemstones are also a perfect companion for aquatic pleasures. I’ve taken mine into the shower on more than one occasion!
Minor issues I found during testing
The Vixen Gemstones offer a fairly straightforward and uncomplicated experience, so most of the minor issues I encountered were related to the process of inserting the toy itself. It took some practice to find the right amount of lubrication, but it wasn’t a major issue. But if you’re a complete beginner, perhaps you’ll have a better time trying a more beginner-friendly anal toy from our best anal toys roundup.
