Review: Black Velvets Anal Beads
Same brand, same silicone — six beads over 40 centimeters.
4 August 2026

Review · Penis ring · Cock ring with fixed anal shaft
Black Velvets combined penis and cock ring with an integrated anal shaft reviewed against the manufacturer’s own specifications and price data from five Swedish stores. Silicone with a PU coating, 19 centimeters total length, anal shaft of 12.5 centimeters with a maximum 2.3-centimeter diameter and two elastic rings of 3.8 and 5 centimeters — without a motor, without a battery, and without a published IP rating.
A mechanical three-function product that does one thing competitors in the price range rarely do: it uses silicone with a PU coating instead of TPR, and the manufacturer publishes both ring measurements rather than saying it fits most. What you pay for is that the anal shaft is fixed, that the product is only available in one size, and that the manufacturer publishes neither an IP rating, maximum wear time, nor any own warranty.
Black Velvets penis ring with anal balls is a single molded silicone piece that does three things at the same time. It has a penis ring, a ball ring, and a flexible anal bar in a ball design that’s fixed in the same piece. The idea is double penetration without a third person and without a strap-on harness: the wearer threads on the two rings, the anal bar points backward and downward, and the partner receives both the wearer and the bar at the same time.
The specification from the manufacturer is unusually complete for the price category. Total length 19 centimeters. The anal bar is 12.5 centimeters with a maximum diameter of 2.3 centimeters. The penis ring diameter is 3.8 centimeters and the ball ring is 5 centimeters—both stated as elastic. The material is silicone with a polyurethane coating, the color is black, and the manufacturer lists the weight as 110 grams. The feature list contains a single word: Bendable — bendable. There is no motor, no battery, and nothing to charge.
This review is about the item with EAN 4024144545001, which at the manufacturer carries the item number 05335560000. Black Velvets is not a standalone brand but one of ORION’s own brand lines, and it is ORION that is listed as the responsible manufacturer with an address in Flensburg. The manufacturer’s approximate price is 19.95 euros. In Sweden, the item is sold by five shops for 199 or 229 SEK, and four of them had it in stock at the price check on September 12, 2026.
Three functions are in the same piece, and it’s worth keeping them separate because they work independently of each other.
On top of the penis ring, there’s also a field of bumps. The manufacturer calls them clitoral-stimulating bumps and states that they should point upward when the product is put on. What can be established is that all four elements—ring, ring, bar, and bump field—are molded into the same piece, which means there isn’t a single seam on the product where dirt can collect.
This article is sold under at least four different names in Sweden, and it is by far the single most common source of confusion when comparing prices. The manufacturer’s own name on the packaging is Cock & ball ring with anal beads. On the German consumer site, it’s instead called Penis-/Hodenring „Cock & ball ring“ mit Analdildo, and in ORION’s wholesale catalog it’s simply Cock & ball ring.
The shops have then gone their separate ways. Adult calls it a penis ring with anal beads, Joyland uses the manufacturer’s English packaging name straight out, Vuxenkul writes Black Velvet’s Cock & ball ring, while Taboo and Lekosmek sell it under the name Double Trouble. The last name is problematic, because Double Trouble is an entirely different item in the manufacturer’s catalog: Anal Fantasy Collection Double Trouble, item number 05334670000, made in TPR and with a realistically shaped shaft instead of a ball-shaped one. However, both Taboo and Lekosmek carry the barcode 4024144545001 and the item number 533556 in their own variant fields, meaning the manufacturer’s number for the silicone item. They sell the right product under the wrong name.
Practical conclusion: go by the EAN number, not the headline. If you see 4024144545001 or the item number 0533556, it’s this product—regardless of what the shop has called it.
The material question is the only feature of an intimate product that can’t be compensated for with experience or care. The manufacturer specifies the material in two parts: silicone as the base material and polyurethane as the surface coating. Joyland lists the same two materials in its specification field, while Vuxenkul writes only ”Silikon” in its— but describes the material in the running text as silicone with a PU coating, which matches the manufacturer.
ORION’s own material guide is unusually straightforward about both materials, and it’s worth reading before you pay. For silicone, the manufacturer states that the material is odor-free and phthalate-free, that it’s cleaned with warm water and soap, that it doesn’t react with soap, alcohol-based toy cleaners, or water-based lubricants, and that the material’s only drawback is that it can’t handle silicone-based lubricants.
About the PU coating, the same guide says that it creates a velvety-smooth surface, that it is odor-free and skin-friendly, and that it is the perfect finish for products made of silicone or ABS. But three disadvantages are listed: strong cleaning agents and massage oil can ruin the PU, a silicone-based lube should not be used on a PU coating that covers a silicone sex toy, and the coating can be worn away if the product is cleaned too aggressively. The manufacturer adds that the worn-down coating is not dangerous.
What it means in practice is that the product is more sensitive in care than pure silicone, even though it feels smoother. It’s a trade-off, not a flaw — but it explains why both the manufacturer and three out of five stores repeat the same instruction about water-based lube. Joyland prints it as its own specification field: “Recommended lube: Water-based.”
Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic — especially flexible PVC — more pliable. The Swedish Chemicals Agency (Kemikalieinspektionen) describes them as substances that can affect the hormonal system and make reproduction more difficult, and several of them are restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. This product category is repeatedly the subject of supervision, because it contains flexible plastic in contact with mucous membranes.
The manufacturer does not publish any phthalate declaration for this specific article page. However, ORION’s material guide generally states that silicone is phthalate-free, and two stores print the claim for the product: Joyland has the field “Phthalate-free: Yes,” and Vuxen lists “Body-safe & Free from Phthalates” among its quick facts. What can be established is that silicone does not require phthalate plasticizers to become soft — the softness comes from the polymer’s own structure — and that therefore the material specification “silicone” is a clearer statement than labels such as TPE or jelly rubber, which say nothing at all about which plasticizers are included.
The manufacturer’s product text, the Swedish version of it, and the dimension graphic in the product gallery all say the same thing: total length approx. 19 centimeters, anal shaft approx. 12.5 centimeters with a maximum diameter of approx. 2.3 centimeters, penis ring with a diameter of approx. 3.8 centimeters, and scrotum ring with a diameter of approx. 5 centimeters, with both rings listed as elastic. Joyland states insertion length 12.5 centimeters and a diameter of 2.3 centimeters, which are exactly the manufacturer’s figures.
But something else is stated in the wholesaler catalog’s information field. It lists the length as 13.5 centimeters and the diameter as 2–4.7 centimeters, meaning neither the overall length nor the length of the anal rod, and a diameter specification that matches neither the rod nor any of the rings. The manufacturer does not specify what the fields refer to, and it’s not an insignificant detail: it is precisely the field value of 13.5 centimeters that Taboo has built into its product name, “Double Trouble - Dubbel Penisring 13,5 cm”. So a buyer who compares that headline with Vuxens “Totallängd 19 cm” has effectively been given two different numbers for the same article, and both can be traced back to the manufacturer.
The weight is listed in the same information field: 110 grams. The manufacturer does not state whether the figure refers to the product itself or the packaged item, and there is no weight mentioned in the product text. Two stores list 108 grams in their own shipping data, which is so close that the 110 grams is likely close to the product’s own weight. Compare with the sister product Couple’s Vibrator, where the manufacturer states 92 grams in the product text but 160 grams in the information field — there, the difference is so large that the field likely includes the packaged weight. For this article, there is no such double listing that can be checked against.
According to the manufacturer, the packaging is a cardboard tray measuring 17.5 × 7.5 × 7 centimeters, and the print on it indicates the brand Black Velvet’s, the name Cock & ball ring with anal beads, the material specification SILICONE, and the label soft touch. It’s a clearer material declaration than most in this price range, and it’s shown on the outside of the box, where you can read it before breaking the seal.
The manufacturer’s own user manual is short and to the point. The two rings are slid over the penis and the scrotum respectively, and then the anal rod sits in place as a second, flexible part. Two details are emphasized: that the bumps on the penis ring should point upward in order to stimulate your partner’s clitoris, and that a little lubricant makes it easier when the rings need to be slid on. The second instruction is not cosmetic — a silicone ring with a soft touch surface has high resistance to friction against dry skin, and it’s precisely when you put the rings on that they feel tightest.
This is the only question that determines whether the product can be used at all, and the manufacturer answers it with numbers rather than words like “fits most.” The penis ring is listed as 3.8 centimeters in diameter and the scrotum ring as 5 centimeters—both elastic. If you convert the penis ring’s diameter to circumference — π × 3.8 centimeters — you arrive at just under 12 centimeters, surprisingly, and the ring is thus intended to stretch beyond that.
What can be compared is the manufacturer’s own simple penis rings. Black Velvet’s Cock ring, item number 05180340000, is sold in three sizes with inner diameters of 2.6, 3.2, and 3.8 centimeters, and for the smallest variant the manufacturer states an inner diameter of 2.6 centimeters, an outer diameter of 3.9 centimeters, and that the ring has low stretchability. Our item is therefore at the top of the same size range, and it is described as elastic rather than tight. That makes it more forgiving in terms of fit than a simple ring from the same brand, but also less effective as a pure erection ring for someone who falls in the lower part of the range.
An inconsistency should be reported. Vuxenkul states in its specifications field “Innerdiameter (Penisringar): 5 cm,” meaning the scrotum ring’s measurement in the penis ring field, and “Diameter: 2.5 cm” respectively “Längd: 13 cm”. None of the three figures match the manufacturer’s. Where a shop contradicts the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s information applies, but it’s worth knowing that this specific field cannot be relied on when you buy there.
The manufacturer describes the shaft as an anal dildo in ball design—bendable and flexible—and the English product text calls it outright integrated anal balls. The measurements are 12.5 centimeters in length and a maximum of 2.3 centimeters in diameter. So the shape is a series of balls that gets wider downward toward the base, not a smooth cylinder and not a realistic copy.
That difference has practical consequences. A ball-shaped shaft gives a pulsing sensation with every thrust, because each transition between the balls passes over the ring muscle, while a smooth shaft gives a uniform motion. It also provides a natural gradual widening: the outermost ball is the narrowest and the ones closest to the base are widest, which is exactly the order the manufacturer’s own customer information recommends for anal toys—start with a smaller diameter and increase carefully.
Two shops describe the shaft incorrectly. Taboo writes that the dildo is “narrow, realistically shaped” with “marked glans and veins,” and Lekosmek describes the product as a double dildo with two penetrating ends. Neither description matches the manufacturer’s construction, and both descriptions are likely meant for the other article called Double Trouble. The images on both shops’ pages, however, show the correct product.
The top side of the penis ring has a field with raised bumps. The manufacturer calls them clitoris-stimulating bumps and states that they should be turned upward when putting it on. Joyland describes the surface in three words in its specifications field: wavy, silky-smooth, and bumpy—which in practice are the product’s three surfaces, one per function.
What can be established is that the bumps are completely passive. They don’t vibrate, they aren’t adjustable, and they stay in a fixed position. The effect therefore depends exclusively on how your anatomy happens to meet them, and it’s reasonable to treat them as a bonus rather than as a main argument. If you want active clitoral stimulation in the same form factor, the sister product Couple’s Vibrator is the one to go for — it has its own motor in exactly that position.
The manufacturer’s customer information comes with the product as a PDF and is linked from the product page. The Swedish section in that document provides four concrete instructions for anal use that are worth reading before the first time: gently stretch the sphincter before anal penetration to avoid injury or tears, start with toys with a smaller diameter and increase the size carefully, use plenty of lubricant to avoid pain during penetration and damage to the sphincter, and insert the product slowly and carefully even if the muscle contracts.
The same document points out that a handle or a stopper prevents the product from sliding fully into the anus. That’s relevant here, because the two rings serve exactly that function: the bar is firmly connected to a construction that sits on the carrier’s body and therefore can’t disappear in. It’s a genuine design advantage compared with loose anal balls, and it’s also the reason Vuxen can describe the base as “flared” in its quick facts.
What the manufacturer does not publish gets less space. No recommended maximum wear time is given for the penis ring, either on the product page, in the wholesaler catalog, or in the customer information. It’s the most common safety detail that’s requested about penis rings, and the only number that would truly be worth having. None of the five stores publishes it either. The starting point therefore has to be common sense: remove the ring if anything goes numb, gets chilled, or changes color, and treat the absence of a time indication as a lack of information — not as a statement that time doesn’t matter.
Water-based, and the manufacturer says it in three places. The product page states clearly that only water-based lubricants should be used because silicone-based ones can damage the material. The Swedish section in the customer information repeats the same thing, with an uppercase warning. The material guide explains why in two steps: silicone’s only material drawback is that it can’t handle silicone-based lubricant, and a PU coating over silicone should also not be exposed to silicone-containing lubricants.
The mechanism is that a silicone-based lubricant breaks down the silicone surface over time and makes it porous, and a porous surface can no longer be cleaned properly—only replaced. Oil-based products are a problem of their own here: the manufacturer’s material guide states that massage oil can damage the PU coating. Joyland lists the same recommendation as a specifications field, and Vuxenkul repeats it in its product text.
The manufacturer specifies cleaning with water and soap and, in addition, recommends a special toy cleaner. The material guide clarifies that silicone is cleaned with warm water and soap and can handle alcohol-based toy cleaners.
The important limitation applies to the coating, not the silicone. Strong cleaning agents can damage PU, and the coating can be worn away if the product is cleaned too roughly. That points to a soft cloth or just your hands—not a brush or a scouring sponge—and to letting the product air-dry instead of rubbing it dry. No storage pouch is included: the manufacturer’s package contents consist of a single item, the product itself, delivered on a cardboard tray.
Here the information differs, and it’s worth clarifying. The manufacturer’s properties list for the item contains a single word, Bendable. There is no IP rating, and the words waterproof or water-resistant appear nowhere in the manufacturer’s materials for this item—unlike the sister product Couple’s Vibrator, where the manufacturer expressly lists the property Waterproof just because it contains electronics.
Two shops still print it. Vuxen states “Waterproof: Yes” among its quick facts and Vuxenkul “Water-resistant: Yes”. These are store details with no backing from the manufacturer, and they should be read as the shops’ own interpretation.
In practical terms, the question is less dramatic than it sounds. A product without a motor, without a battery, and with not a single opening in the casing has nothing electrical to protect, and the manufacturer states that it is cleaned with water and soap. What can be established, then, is that the product can be rinsed off according to the manufacturer’s own care instructions, but that no classification according to IEC 60529 has been published and that no information about baths or showers comes from the manufacturer. Anyone who wants a documented enclosure rating won’t find it here.
The product is completely mechanical. Joyland states it as a separate field: “Vibrating: No”. The manufacturer’s properties list lacks both Rechargeable and Vibration, unlike Couple’s Vibrator, where both are included. The delivery consists of a single component and includes no charging cable.
That absence has four concrete consequences that rarely show up in store descriptions. There’s no operating noise, because there’s no motor — the question of decibels simply has nothing to do with this product here. There’s no battery life to run out in the middle of things. There’s no lithium-ion cell that ages and makes the product unusable after a certain number of charging cycles, which is the most common cause of death for sex toys in this price range. And there’s no product-specific charging cable to lose.
What you pay for is just as clear: no vibration, no modes, no remote control, and no app. If you want any of those things, this article is the wrong product — and that’s also the dividing line versus the sister product in the next chapter.
It isn’t. There’s no battery, no charging contact, and no charging cable in the package, and the manufacturer’s included contents consist of a single item. This question comes up in searches because many penis rings in the same price category vibrate, but here the answer is that the product works directly out of the box and keeps doing so without power. Its lifespan is determined by the silicone and by how gently the PU coating is treated during cleaning, not by a battery cell.
We do not have price data from shops in your market yet.
Five stores sell the same item, and four different descriptions of it are circulating. Go by the EAN number, not the headline.
Three comparisons are relevant: versus the same manufacturer’s vibrating version of the same form factor, versus the TPR-based competitor that shares a name with two of the shop’s listings, and versus a simple penis ring without an anal part. All information below comes from the manufacturers’ own specifications in ORION’s catalog.
Couple’s Vibrator, article number 05508920000 and EAN 4024144553426, is the same brand and the same basic idea but with electronics. The manufacturer states total length 14 centimeters, insertion length 11 centimeters, diameter 1.3–3.2 centimeters, penis ring 3.2 centimeters, and ball ring 4.5 centimeters, both elastic, and a weight of 92 grams in the product text. Two motors provide 20 vibration modes; the product is rechargeable with the included USB cable and is explicitly listed as waterproof. The approximate price is 59.95 euro versus 19.95 euro for our article.
The differences that actually matter: Couple’s Vibrator has a vibrating clitoral stimulator, while our article has a passive dimple field. And it has a vibrator that runs along the shaft, where our article has an anal bar. So it’s not an upgrade but a different product — one penetrates anally, the other doesn’t. In Swedish retail, Couple’s Vibrator costs 499 SEK at Taboo versus 199 SEK for this article.
The conclusion is simple. If you want double penetration, the choice is already made, because Couple’s Vibrator can’t deliver it. If you want vibration and a thicker feel without an anal part, an extra 300 SEK is a reasonable cost—but then you also get a battery that you have to charge and a product that is used up one day when the cell is done.
This is the closest competitor in terms of function, and the one that two Swedish stores have confused our item with. Anal Fantasy Collection Double Trouble, item number 05334670000, is also a combined penis and ball ring with a fixed-mounted flexible anal shaft. The manufacturer states a total length of 15.3 centimeters, insertion length of 13.3 centimeters, penis ring Ø 2.8 centimeters, ball ring Ø 5 centimeters, and a weight of 194 grams. The shaft has an anatomical shape with a marked glans and a tapered tip. The list price is 25.00 euro.
The decisive difference is the material. Double Trouble is made in TPR, our item in silicone with a PU coating, and ORION’s own materials guide is surprisingly candid about what that means. If the manufacturer says on the TPE and TPR that plasticizers in the form of mineral oil migrate out of the material over time and make the surface oily in spots, that the material can leave fatty stains, and that it becomes stiff and possibly brittle with age, none of these three drawbacks apply to silicone.
What Double Trouble adds is a slightly longer insertion length—13.3 versus 12.5 centimeters—and a tighter penis ring at 2.8 centimeters, which can be an advantage for someone who thinks 3.8 centimeters feels too roomy. When you weigh material against the measurements, the silicone item clearly comes out on top, and it’s also cheaper in the manufacturer’s list price.
The third comparison is against not buying a combination product at all. Black Velvets Cock ring, item number 05180340000, and EAN 4024144538263, is a wide seamless silicone ring with a PU surface. The manufacturer states an inner diameter of 2.6 centimeters, an outer diameter of 3.9 centimeters, a ring thickness of 0.7 centimeters, a weight of 34 grams, and that the ring has low stretchability. It’s sold in three sizes—2.6, 3.2, and 3.8 centimeters—at the list price of 8.95 euro.
The point of the comparison is to strip down what the extra money is buying. A simple ring does one thing, and it does it with a tighter grip: the manufacturer explicitly states low stretchability, which is exactly what a pure erection ring should have. Our item is described as elastic in both rings, because the construction must be able to be put on over both the penis and the scrotum. If you only want erection support, and want to be able to choose the inner diameter according to your own anatomy in three steps, the simple ring is both cheaper and better suited. If you want anal penetration and clitoral bumps in the same level of detail, there is no such option.
Five Swedish stores sell the item with EAN 4024144545001. Four of them — Joyland, Vuxenkul, Lekosmek and Taboo — list it at 199 SEK, and Vuxen is priced at 229 SEK. That’s a difference of 30 SEK, or 15 percent, between the cheapest and most expensive store for exactly the same article number, the same color, and the same packaging.
Fifteen percent is an unusually small spread. For the more expensive products in our material, the difference between the cheapest and most expensive store is regularly over 50 percent, and that’s because the margin, calculated in kronor, is much larger there. With an item that has an approximate price of 19.95 euros, there simply isn’t room for big deviations.
The inventory situation is worth mentioning. Four of the five stores had the product in stock at the price check on September 12, 2026. The one that didn’t was Vuxenkul — which therefore lists one of the four 199-kronor prices, but can’t deliver. That means the actual price difference between the cheapest available option and the most expensive available option remains unchanged at 30 SEK, and in practice the choice comes down to three stores with the same price. Shipping cost therefore matters more than the product price in this price range: always check the free-shipping threshold before you choose a store.
This article is a textbook example of why store text isn’t good enough as a specification source. Five stores sell the same item, and four different descriptions of it are circulating.
The rule that applies throughout: the manufacturer’s information wins over the store’s, and an EAN number wins over a product name. None of the deviations above affect which item gets shipped — all five stores deliver the same article — but they affect what you think you’ve bought.
It’s for couples who want to try double penetration without a third person and without a strap-on harness, and where the receiving partner already has experience with anal stimulation. The anal rod is up to 2.3 centimeters, so in the narrower range, and the bulb shape provides a gradual widening—but it’s controlled by the carrier’s movements, not by the receiver’s hand, which makes it less suitable as a first anal item. It’s also for the person who wants silicone rather than TPR in this product category, and the one who wants to skip having a battery.
It’s not for the person who’s looking for a pure erection ring—where a simple ring with a specified inner diameter is both cheaper and tighter. It’s not for the one who wants vibration, an app, or remote control. It’s not for the one who needs a documented IP rating, because the manufacturer does not publish any. And it’s not for the one who is sensitive to fit on the rings: the measurements of 3.8 and 5 centimeters are fixed, the product is available only in one size, and there’s no adjustment.
One more thing belongs in the decision. The anal rod is fixed in place and can’t be removed. That makes the product a specialist—not a universal product—you can’t use the rings by themselves one evening and the rod by itself another. Anyone who wants that kind of flexibility would rather buy two separate items for roughly the same money.
The manufacturer does not publish any voluntary warranty period for this item, either on the consumer page, in the wholesale catalog, or in the customer information. This is common in this price range and differs from brands like Lelo and Womanizer, which provide their own multi-year warranties. This doesn’t mean you’re left without protection—only that the protection is what the law requires.
According to konsumentköplagen (the Swedish Consumer Sales Act), you have three years of right to lodge a complaint for defects in the goods, regardless of what the manufacturer promises. An original defect that shows up within that time must be remedied by the seller, and it’s the store you bought from that’s your counterparty—not ORION in Flensburg. For distance purchases, there is also a right of withdrawal for fourteen days under lagen om distansavtal och avtal utanför affärslokaler.
Be aware that in practice, the right of withdrawal is limited for hygiene products that have been taken out of a sealed package. Konsumentverket provides guidance on what applies in the specific case. The right to complain for defects, however, always applies. Two of the stores also highlight their own terms that go beyond the law—Joyland states a 365-day right of return for an unopened package—and such voluntary commitments are worth reading before choosing a store when the price is the same anyway.
