B-Vibe Cinco Anal Beads — 5-Bead Silicone Anal Beads | Black

The b-Vibe Cinco is a set of vibrating anal beads: five firm silicone beads that grow from tip to base, three motors built into the beads, and a wireless remote. Most bead sets are either graduated or vibrating; Cinco does both, so you can go as shallow or as deep as feels right and add vibration at whatever point you like. It suits people who already enjoy anal play and want something more involved than a basic plug or a plain string of beads.

How the beads are shaped

The five beads sit on one seamless silicone body, with a slim neck about 0.6 in across between each one. The smallest bead is at the tip and the largest, 1.3 in wide, is closest to the handle. Because the silicone is firm rather than floppy, the beads don't bend away as you insert them. You feel each one pass the entrance as a clear, separate sensation, both going in and coming out. The full insertable length is 7.4 in, but you never need to use all of it.

Vibration and the remote

The three motors sit in the three largest beads, so the strongest buzz is in the lower half of the toy, near the entrance, where most people feel vibration most. You get six intensity levels and fifteen patterns, controlled from buttons on the toy or from the wireless remote, which works up to about 30 feet away. That range makes it easy to hand the remote to a partner across the room. A travel lock stops it switching itself on in a bag.

First sessions with vibrating anal beads

Go slowly and use plenty of water-based lube on every bead, plus some on yourself. Start with just the first one or two beads and leave the vibration off until you're relaxed, then try the lowest setting before going any deeper. The necks between beads give you natural resting points. Many people find the slow pull-out, one bead at a time, is the highlight, especially close to orgasm, but take it gently and stop if anything hurts. If you've never used beads before, the three-bead b-Vibe Triplet is the shorter, gentler sister. Our guide to anal play tips and techniques covers preparation and relaxation.

Charging, water and cleaning

Cinco runs on a built-in rechargeable battery. About two hours on USB gives roughly an hour of use, and an indicator light flashes when it's running low. It's splashproof and shower-friendly but not fully waterproof, so rinse it under running water without soaking it or dropping it in the bath. Wash with warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner after every use, working into the creases between beads, then dry it and put it back in the travel case with the remote.
