You asked:
I'm a 25-year-old male looking to delve deeper into anal play. I came across the Natural Love Company while searching for new anal toys. Has anyone tried their products, particularly their anal beads? How do they feel compared to something like a vibrating plug from Bellesa?
Grace:
I've been in the sex toy industry for nearly a decade and haven't come across the Natural Love Company, so I can't comment on their reputation.
From what you've shown, the Vetiver model seems too long for beginners, and the Quince model could be unsafe due to its inadequately flared base, which is crucial to prevent the toy from getting lost inside.
Anal beads can be incredibly enjoyable and make a great addition to any anal toy collection. They offer a unique sensation that’s different from butt plugs. Imagine the feeling of a plug popping in or out, then repeat that feeling multiple times with increasing intensity—that's what using anal beads is like.
They are more about active play, whereas butt plugs are often used for prolonged wear.
For safer and more reliable options, I'd recommend starting with something like the Tantus Ripple plug, which is beginner-friendly.
If you're looking for good value and variety, check out the Beaded Butties Bundle by b-Vibe, released for Anal August—it includes three different bead sizes.
Once you’re more accustomed, you might explore vibrating beads like the b-Vibe Triplet Beads for enhanced stimulation.
