🇦🇺 An Aussie Company I’m Proud to Support! A Product I'll Definitely Consider Buying More Variations of in the Future
I chose Lilac and Bronze for both the rope and the beads. The sizing I selected was: Beads 1–3 at 55 mm diameter, and Bead 4 at a larger 65 mm diameter. All beads were ordered in Medium firmness (listed as a '10').
Sizing, Firmness, and Anal Use
While colors are subjective, choosing the right firmness and size is dependent on your body and fondness for training (I would 100% recommended the Brat Breakers Butt Training 5(+) Piece Set!). As I purchased this toy for anal use, I found my chosen customisation pretty spot on. I am comfortable inserting a maximum diameter of 65 mm / 2.55", and currently working up to comfortably inserting a 70 mm / 2.76" diameter.
The design features minimal tapering, which means the jump up to the larger fourth bead requires a generous amount of lube and patience (this will be a flaw or a feature depending on your perspective). Despite loving to stretch myself, I'm new to taking toys deep and this is my first introduction to anal beads. My prior experience is with butt plugs and dildos, which have the rigidity to remain in shape and follow the path. I'm only borderline comfortable up to a maximum depth of about 16.5 cm / 6.5"; as such, I found it difficult to insert more than beads one and two. I was, however, able to enjoy the 65 mm fourth bead by instead starting with inserting the handle, though I only managed to conquer the handle and one bead, finding myself too full to add more.
Note: I would advise against overestimating your capabilities when selecting the size and firmness. Unless you can comfortably take that size or bigger, try softer and smaller first.
Safety and Cleaning
Initially, I was hesitant to purchase, so I reached out and enquired about two main things: if it was easy or possible to properly clean everything, and if there was any risk of the beads becoming detached during use. I received a prompt and assuring response that eased my concerns and encouraged me to commit to purchasing.
Now, after using the toy, I'm furthermore confident in its ability to remain safely together during use and to be cleaned to a high standard. The stopper on the end (2.2 cm / 0.9" diameter, 2.5 cm / 1" length) is very effective at preventing the beads from being removed. With medium or hard firmness beads and without tools, I don't think I would manage to remove them from either end (although I'm unsure if softer firmness ones would be more pliable and therefore easier to remove).
Although I am unable to remove the beads, cleaning is still entirely possible by stretching the rope and sliding the beads along it. Additionally, with moderate to considerable force, I’ve even been able to slide them past their seating notches, making the cleaning process somewhat easier.
Note: I would suggest not going too deep unless you first use some kind of enema to reduce the likelihood that "intensive cleaning" is required.
Company Service and Value
Ordering from Brat Breakers has consistently proven them to be a company that cares about its reputation through quality service and products. They provide innovative, safe, and affordable products, alongside having discreet, safely secured, and efficient postage. Their customer service is friendly, quick to respond, generous, and supportive.
Each delivery I’ve received from this company has included a large, premium-quality storage bag (along with other free goodies), which is an added bonus and really should be more common with all brands! My partner and I appreciate the wide variety in the color options and the ability to create your own combinations without the enormous additional costs seen with other brands.
