Blush Anal Adventures Large Anal Beads: review

Blush’s long bead row reviewed against the manufacturer’s own specifications and price data from three Swedish stores. Six balls with a diameter from 2.3 to 3.8 centimeters on 40.6 centimeters molded Puria silicone, four published measurements, no electronics — and no manufacturer warranty at all.

My rating

The best-documented bead row in its price class: the manufacturer publishes total length, insertable length, width, and circumference, plus its own measurement graphic showing both the largest and the smallest ball exposed. The material is platinum-hardened silicone molded in one piece without seams. What you pay with is the lack of a wide base, the lack of any manufacturer warranty, and an insertable length of 38 centimeters that means the model is not for a beginner.

  • Total length 40.6 cm, insertable length 38.1 cm
  • Six balls, 2.3–3.8 cm in diameter
  • Puria platinum-hardened silicone with UltraSilk finish
  • Free from phthalates, paraffins, and latex according to the manufacturer
  • Weight 153 g according to the manufacturer’s product data
  • 212–299 SEK at three stores, all in stock

Blush Anal Adventures Large Anal Beads — in brief: what you get

Blush Anal Adventures Large Anal Beads is a string of beads in one-piece cast silicone. Six balls sit on a flexible shaft; the size increases gradually, and at the end there is a loop that works as a pull handle. There is no motor, no battery, no charging connection, and no buttons. The entire product is made from a single material and has zero moving parts, and it is precisely that simplicity that determines how it should be rated: what can be reviewed is the measurements, the material declaration, the construction, and the price.

The specification looks like this according to the manufacturer: total length 16 tum, corresponding to 40.6 centimeters, of which 15 tum or 38.1 centimeters are stated to be insertable. The widest ball measures 1.5 tum in diameter, i.e. 3.8 centimeters, and the narrowest 0.9 tum or 2.3 centimeters. The circumference of the thickest part is stated to be 4.77 tum, which corresponds to 12.1 centimeters. The material is Blush’s own Puria platinum-hardened silicone with the finish the brand calls UltraSilk, and the material is stated to be free from ftalates, paraffins, and latex. The manufacturer’s item number is BL-11115.

This review is about the black variant with EAN 819835026440. The number is checked against the manufacturer’s own product data, where the barcode sits directly on the variant with item number BL-11115, and also against an independent barcode register that links the same number to the product name Anal Adventures Platinum Silicone Anal Beads Large in black. It’s worth knowing, because the three svenska stores call the item three similar but different things.

In Sweden, the item is sold by three Swedish stores at prices between 212 and 299 SEK, and all three had it in stock at the price check on 29 July 2026. It’s unusually good stock availability in this category, where most items are available at only one or two stores at the same time.

What are anal beads, and how do they differ from an anal plug?

An anal plug is designed to stay in place. It has a tapered neck and a wide base that rests outside the body, and the stimulation comes from it filling out and staying where it is. A bead string works the other way around. It gives no feeling at all when it’s lying still—the whole point is the movement, meaning the sensation when each bead passes the anal sphincter on the way in or out. That’s why bead strings are almost always described as something you pull out at a certain point in time rather than something you wear.

In practice, this means two things for the person who is comparing. The first is that the number of beads and the distance between them matter more than the total volume: six beads on 40 centimeters give fewer but larger passages, while ten beads on 31 centimeters give more and denser ones. The second is that bead rows place higher demands on how you hold the product, because there is no wide base that stops it. The pull handle is the only design component that keeps the product in place, and it makes it a detail worth an extra section further down.

Blush states that the model is intended for what the manufacturer describes as intermediate to experienced users. It is a reasonable statement given the measurements. With 3.8 centimeters on the widest bead and an advertised insertable length of 38 centimeters, it’s not a beginner product, and the manufacturer also makes no claim that it is.

Large, Platinum, or just Anal Adventures — which name is right?

The name question isn’t academic here, because the three Swedish shops call exactly the same article number three different things. Vuxen writes "Anal Adventures Large Anal Beads – Black", Joyland writes "Anal Adventures: Large Anal Beads", and Intima writes "Anal Adventures Platinum Large Anal Beads". The manufacturer itself calls it today "Anal Adventures Platinum By Blush — Black 16-Inch Anal Beads".

What can be established is that all four names refer to the same item: all three shops list EAN 819835026440, and that number is held by the manufacturer under the item number BL-11115. Platinum is the name of the subrange within Anal Adventures, and it refers here to the hardening method in the silicone rather than to a color or an equipment level.

The reason to keep track of it is that Blush has several bead rows in the same series with similar-sounding names. Anal Adventures Platinum is available, among other things, as a 12.5-inch model with ten narrow beads, as a 5.25-inch model with three beads and an anchor base, and then, for a while, also as an XL model at 20.5 inches with four very large beads. They all have different barcodes, different measurements, and prices that differ by a factor of five. If you compare prices between stores, EAN is the only field you can actually rely on.

Measurements: 40.6 centimeters total and 38 centimeters insertable

Blush publishes more measurements for this product than is normal in the category, and it deserves to be said straight out. Total length, insertable length, maximum width, and circumference are all given, and in addition, the manufacturer has its own measurement graphic in the product gallery where both the largest and the smallest bead are shown. Many competitors in the same price range list only a total length, and some list nothing at all.

Calculated in centimeters, the manufacturer’s figures are 40.6 centimeters total, 38.1 centimeters insertable, 3.8 centimeters on the widest ball, 2.3 centimeters on the narrowest ball, and 12.1 centimeters in circumference around the thickest part. So the difference between the total length and the insertable length is only 2.5 centimeters, which corresponds to the loop at the end plus the short shaft section that sits between the loop and the first ball.

Six balls from 2.3 to 3.8 centimeters

Six balls at 38 centimeters means that each ball, on average, gets just over six centimeters of shaft around it. There’s plenty of space between the balls, and that’s the most important difference versus a tightly packed bead strand. The balls pass by one at a time with clear gaps instead of coming as a continuous wave.

The size progression from 2.3 to 3.8 centimeters is unusually wide within the same product. The smallest ball has about the same diameter as a beginner plug, while the largest is clearly above that. What you can say for sure is that the span turns the product into a sort of built-in staircase: how far you choose to go determines what size you actually encounter, and you don’t need to go all the way down the entire row to have a use for it.

The manufacturer’s own product image also shows that the balls aren’t completely identical in pairs; instead, they vary in an ascending pattern along the shaft, with the smallest one being the outermost when counted from the handle. Blush describes it as six balls in varying sizes rather than six balls that increase linearly, and the manufacturer does not publish a table for the four balls that lie between the outermost sizes of 2.3 and 3.8 centimeters. So anyone who wants to know exactly how big ball three is gets no answer from either the manufacturer or the shops.

When the stores contradict the manufacturer

There’s a real discrepancy between the three Swedish shops, and it’s worth reporting. Joyland gives the total length as 40.6 centimeters, which is exactly what the manufacturer’s 16 inches comes out to when converted. Vuxen lists 40 centimeters, meaning it’s rounded down by six millimeters. Intima lists 39 centimeters.

The same applies to the balls’ size. Vuxen and Joyland both list 3.8 centimeters as the maximum diameter, which matches the manufacturer’s 1.5 inches. Intima instead lists a range of 2 to 3.5 centimeters, meaning both a larger smallest ball and a smaller largest ball than what the manufacturer’s own size chart shows. Where the shops differ from the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s figures apply: 40.6 centimeters total, 2.3 centimeters smallest ball, and 3.8 centimeters largest ball. The deviations are small in context, but they explain why you can find three different length figures for the same article if you compare shops against each other.

One more thing belongs here. Vuxen states an insertable length of 38 centimeters, Joyland also states 38 centimeters, and the manufacturer’s 15 inches becomes 38.1 centimeters. On that point, all three agree. Intima publishes no insertable length at all.

Weight: 153 grams according to the manufacturer’s own store data

Weight is the piece of information most often missing in this category, and it’s missing here as well, partly. None of the three Swedish stores publishes any weight. The manufacturer’s product page also does not include it in running text. However, the manufacturer’s own structured product data states the weight as 5.4 ounces, i.e. 153 grams.

That figure should be read with a caveat. A weight field in a web shop’s product data is primarily used to calculate shipping cost, and it isn’t always specified whether it refers to the product alone or the product in its packaging. The order of magnitude, however, seems reasonable: Blush’s own 12.5-inch model, which is shorter and significantly narrower, is listed as 85 grams, and the XL model at 20.5 inches is listed as 388 grams. The three values relate to each other roughly the way the products’ volume does, which suggests that the figures are comparable within the range.

Why weight matters for a pearl string is easy to explain. A heavier strand hangs more, pulls more on itself, and feels different when it’s partially inside. 153 grams is moderate—about the weight of an average smartphone—and significantly less than the massive PVC products in the same length class, which weigh over half a kilo. Silicone is simply lighter than solid PVC at the same volume.

Material: Puria platinum-hardened silicone with an UltraSilk finish

The material question is the only characteristic of an intimate product that can’t be compensated for through experience or care. It determines whether the product will still be hygienic after five years, and for a product without electronics it is also, in practice, the entire specification. Blush states a single material: Puria platinum-hardened silicone, with the surface finish the brand calls UltraSilk and describes as satin-smooth.

What platinum-hardened silicone means in practice

Silicone is hardened either with a platinum catalyst or with peroxide. Platinum hardening is the method used for medical-grade and food-approved silicone, and it produces a finished material with a very low level of remaining reaction residues. Peroxide-hardened silicone can leave traces of breakdown products in the material and often requires an additional curing step in an oven to get rid of them. So when a manufacturer states that the silicone is platinum-hardened, that isn’t marketing talk—it’s a technical piece of information that says something about the process.

However, the property that matters most in practice is common to all silicone: the material is non-porous. A non-porous surface can be cleaned because there are no microscopic cavities where residue can get trapped. It is the single most important property of a material that is meant to sit against mucous membrane—and that is why the material declaration weighs more than almost all other lines in a specification.

That the entire product is cast in one piece from the same material has two consequences. The first is that there is no seam between the handle, the shaft, and the balls where dirt can collect—and on a beaded string, where each transition between the ball and the shaft is a bend, the absence of seams is worth more than it is on a straight product. The second is that there is no glued joint that can come loose. A beaded string that splits in the middle during use is exactly the scenario a one-piece cast is designed to avoid.

Blush, however, does not publish any Shore A hardness for the material, and none of the stores do either. Joyland describes the firmness as medium and the surface as silky and smooth; Vuxen describes the product as flexible. These are store details, not manufacturer details, and they do not say anything exact. The manufacturer does not publish Shore hardness for this item, which means it is not possible to compare stiffness against a competitor in a measurable way.

Phthalates, paraffin, and latex — what the declaration says

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastics—above all soft PVC—flexible. The Swedish Chemicals Agency (Kemikalieinspektionen) describes them as substances that can affect the hormone system and make reproduction more difficult, and several of them are therefore restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. This product category is repeatedly the subject of oversight because it contains soft plastic against skin and mucous membrane.

Blush explicitly states that the material in this item is free from phthalates, paraffins, and latex, and repeats the same thing in its own product-gallery functional graphic alongside the commitments that it is lab-tested and body-safe, and is free from fragrance. It is an unambiguous declaration, unlike labels such as TPE or jelly rubber, which say nothing at all about which plasticizers are included.

What makes the silicone declaration especially clear is that silicone does not need phthalate plasticizers to become soft. The softness comes from the polymer’s own structure, not from an added plasticizing agent. Listing silicone as the material in itself is therefore a better sign than almost any other line in a product specification—and that is also why a silicone product for 212 SEK can be a better material choice than a PVC product for the same money.

The latex insert is relevant for anyone who is allergic to latex. Latex allergy causes reactions on the mucous membranes faster than on normal skin, and an anal product is precisely the use case where the insert matters. The fact that the manufacturer states this is a plus. The paraffin insert is about the fact that certain cheap products are surface-treated with paraffin wax to feel smoother in the store—a coating that disappears after the first wash and leaves a worse surface behind.

How to use a bead string that is 40 centimeters long

The basic principle is simple: one ball at a time, with plenty of lubricant, and all movement slow. The final muscle needs time between each pass, and it is that timing that determines whether the product works or not. The manufacturer describes the effect themselves as the balls stimulating when they are inserted and withdrawn, and that the gradually increasing size is what makes it possible to work your way through the row.

What distinguishes this particular model from shorter bead strings is that you don’t need to take the full length. 38 centimeters insertable is an upper limit, not a goal. With six balls and clear spacing, it’s possible to stop after two or three and still have used the product as it’s intended to be used. So someone buying this model instead of a shorter one is, first and foremost, buying a wider range to move within.

Which lubricant works with silicone?

Water-based. The manufacturer is explicit on that point and writes that water-based lubricant is recommended for all products, and that silicone-based lubricant should not be used on silicone products because it breaks down the silicone. Joyland repeats the same recommendation on its product page, as does Intima.

The mechanism behind the advice is worth understanding, because it determines how serious it is to ignore it. Silicone-based lubricant consists of silicone oils that are chemically related to the material in the product. That relatedness makes the oil penetrate into the surface layer instead of sitting on top of it, which causes the surface to swell and, over time, become sticky and porous. A porous surface can’t be cleaned properly anymore—only replaced. The damage is also permanent, unlike a temporary coating.

Oil-based products such as coconut oil are another problem. They certainly don’t damage silicone in the same way, but they leave behind a film that’s difficult to remove and that therefore builds up a layer where bacteria can remain. For anal use, there’s also the fact that oil breaks down latex condoms, which is relevant if the product is shared between people. The advice is simple: water-based lubricant, generously, and preferably a thicker gel-based one that stays in place longer than the thin ones.

Pull handle: the only safety detail on the product

The loop at the end is the most important design feature on the entire item, and it deserves to be evaluated as a safety function rather than as a comfort accessory. Blush describes it as a pull handle for easy recovery and easy cleaning, and it is cast in one piece with the rest of the product.

What it does in practice is give you something to hold that isn’t the shaft itself. A shaft that’s wet with lubricant is slippery, and a loop makes it possible to get two fingers through even with slippery hands. This is also why pearl rows without handles should be avoided entirely: the entire row must always be reachable from the outside.

Here is also the model’s clearest weakness. A loop is not the same as a wide base, and this product has no wide base. On an anal plug, the wide base physically prevents the product from sliding all the way in. A loop does not—it assumes that you hold it. The combination of a loop and a 38-centimeter insertable length is the combination in the entire specification that requires the most respect, and it’s also, by itself, the strongest reason not to consider this model a beginner product despite the fact that the manufacturer labels it as suitable even for beginners in its own product attributes.

How deep is a 38-centimeter insertable length, really?

Honest answer: more than most people use. The manufacturer’s 15 insertable inches are a measurement of the product, not a recommendation for how far it should go in. The number that matters most to most people is instead the distance between the balls, since it determines how many passages you get per centimeter.

What can be established purely geometrically is that six balls distributed over 38 centimeters give about 6.3 centimeters per ball. So if you use the first three balls, you’re moving in on the order of 19 centimeters, which is comparable to a normal-size anal dildo. After that, length becomes the decisive factor instead of diameter.

A practical tip that applies to all pearl rows: always pull out slowly. The quick withdrawal is the movement that’s marketed, but it’s also the one that causes the most damage if the sphincter isn’t prepared. The mucous membrane in the rectum doesn’t have the same lubrication as a vagina and doesn’t tolerate friction as well, which is why the lubricant question matters more in this category than in any other.

How do you clean silicone anal balls?

The manufacturer’s own care instructions are brief and clear: clean before and after each use with mild, fragrance-free soap and water or with a cleaner intended for intimate products, and let the product dry completely before putting it away.

On a single string of pearls, there are two points that deserve extra attention. The first is the inward curves between the ball and the stem, where the surface changes from convex to concave over a couple of millimeters. That’s where residue remains if you only rinse it. Instead of dragging the soap along the row, let your finger follow the entire stem around each ball. The second is the loop, which has an interior that easily slips past.

Drying is more important than many people think. Silicone doesn’t absorb water, but water that remains in an indentation and then sits in a closed box creates exactly the damp environment you want to avoid. Wipe it with a clean towel and let it air-dry for a while before putting the product away. Store it by itself, not tightly rolled up against other silicone products—two silicone surfaces pressed against each other can, over a long time, cause discoloration or stickiness.

Water resistance: why there is no IPX rating

Enclosure classes according to the IEC 60529 standard exist to describe how well a housing protects electrical equipment against water. A product without electronics has nothing to protect and therefore normally gets no rating at all. Blush publishes no IPX rating for this article, and that in itself is neither surprising nor a problem—it simply isn’t an applicable task.

Interestingly, though, the manufacturer expressly labels its newer XL model in the same series as waterproof in the product attributes, while this article lacks that labeling. That should reasonably be read as a difference in how the product data has been filled out, rather than as a technical difference between two products made of the same solid silicone.

For its part, the retailer Vuxen explicitly states that the article is waterproof. That’s a shop statement, not a manufacturer statement, but it matches what the material itself allows: a product molded in one piece of silicone without voids, without electronics and without seams, can be rinsed and submerged without anything being able to get damaged. So what can be concluded is that the absence of an IPX rating here isn’t a warning signal—unlike with a product with a motor, where a missing rating should always be interpreted as meaning the product isn’t waterproof.

Durability: what actually breaks on a silicone pearl string

Without a battery, motor, or charging contact, the three most common failures in the category disappear at the same time. What’s left is the material, and silicone ages slowly. The realistic failure cases are three: the surface becomes sticky from the wrong lubricant, the stem gets a crack at an inward indentation after repeated bending at the same spot, or the loop comes apart if the product is pulled with force.

All three can be affected. A water-based lubricant removes the first. Not storing the product tightly rolled up in a small box removes the second, because a permanent sharp bend at the same point is what initiates a crack. And always pulling the loop along the direction of the shaft instead of across it removes the third.

What speaks for a long lifespan is the one-piece molding. There is no seam to lose, no coating to wear off, and no surface layer that can peel, because the color sits in the material and not on top of it. What speaks against it is that silicone, once it has become tacky, cannot be saved. There is no treatment that restores a damaged silicone surface — the only measure is to replace the product.

Blush Anal Adventures Large Anal Beads compared with the alternatives

Three comparisons are relevant: versus Blush’s own narrower beaded option in the same series, versus the series’ new XL model, and versus a beaded option with a motor from another brand. All information below comes from the respective manufacturers’ own specifications, and the Swedish prices come from the retailers’ product feeds on July 29, 2026.

Against Anal Adventures Platinum 12,5-inch — what’s the difference between Large and the narrow one?

Blush’s 12,5-inch model with article number BL-11015 is the series’ beginner variant and the closest relative to this article. It measures a total of 12,5 tum, i.e. 31,8 centimeters, of which 10,25 tum or 26 centimeters are stated to be insertable. It has ten beads instead of six, and the widest bead measures 0,75 tum, i.e. 1,9 centimeters — exactly half of this model’s 3,8 centimeters. The weight is stated as 85 gram versus 153, and the list price in the USA is 12,99 dollar versus 19,99.

In terms of construction, they are identical: the same Puria platinum-hardened silicone, the same UltraSilk finish, the same one-piece molding, the same pulling ring, and the same statement without phthalates, paraffins, and latex. The difference is entirely geometric. Ten small beads placed closely together provide many and easy passes, while six large beads with six centimeters of spacing provide few and clear ones.

The conclusion is straightforward: the narrow model is the one to start with, and this is the one you move on to. They are not upgrades of each other in the sense that one replaces the other — they do different things. The fact that the widest bead is twice as thick is a bigger difference than what the double price suggests.

Against Anal Adventures Platinum XL — 20,5-inch and four beads

The XL model with article number BL-12515 is the series’ newest addition and pulls the geometry in the opposite direction. It measures 20.5 inches total, i.e. 52.1 centimeters, has only four beads, and falls within the manufacturer’s width range of 2 to 2.49 inches—corresponding to 5.1 to 6.3 centimeters. The weight is listed as 388 grams, i.e. more than twice as much as this model’s 153, and the suggested retail price is 59.99 dollars versus 19.99.

Four beads on 52 centimeters means even greater distance between the openings and substantially thicker beads. The XL model is also the only one of the three that the manufacturer explicitly labels as waterproof in the product attributes. The material description is otherwise the same: Puria platinum-hardened silicone with an UltraSilk finish and the same grip loop.

The relevant conclusion for someone comparing the two is that this model at 3.8 centimeters sits in the middle of Blush’s own scale, not at the top. If you already think 3.8 centimeters is the limit, you shouldn’t look at XL, and if you think 3.8 centimeters is modest, you now know where the next step goes. The price difference is also significant: XL costs three times as much at the manufacturer’s own suggested retail price.

Against Pipedream Anal Fantasy Elite Rechargeable Anal Beads — do you need a motor?

Pipedream’s bead string is the clearest alternative from another brand, and it’s built on an entirely different idea. While Blush delivers a single piece of silicone without electronics, Pipedream has a rechargeable motor built into the product. The manufacturer states that the material is Elite Silicone, that the product is waterproof, that it charges via USB with about 1.5 hours of charging time and 2 hours of operating time, and that it has a wide contoured base. The suggested retail price is listed at 71.99 dollars, and the warranty period at one year.

Two differences matter most. The first is the base: Pipedream has a wide base that physically prevents the product from slipping in, while Blush only has a loop. On that point, Pipedream’s design is safer. The second is that a motor means a battery, and a battery is the part that determines how long the product lasts. A silicone bead string without electronics has no such outer limit.

Pipedream also does not publish its total length, insertable length, or diameter for its model, which makes it hard to compare by measurements. It’s in that comparison that Blush’s documentation stands out as unusually strong: four measurements, number of beads, and its own measurement graphic versus a competitor that does not publish a single length measurement. If you want vibration and a wide base, Pipedream is the way to go. If you want a product that’s completely predictable—can be boiled clean in theory, never stops working, and costs a fraction—Blush is the obvious choice.

Price range: 212 to 299 SEK, and three stores with stock

Three Swedish stores sell the item with EAN 819835026440. The cheapest is Joyland at 212 SEK, followed by Vuxen at 249 SEK, and the most expensive is Intima at 299 SEK. It’s an 87 SEK difference—or a 41 percent difference—for exactly the same item number, same color, and same packaging.

All three stores had the product in stock during the price check on July 29, 2026, which is unusual in this category and means that the price comparison can actually be put into practice. The difference between the cheapest and the second-cheapest is 37 SEK, i.e. just over 17 percent.

One note about Joyland’s price belongs here. In the store’s product feed, it’s 212 SEK, while the store’s own product page showed 249 SEK at the time of the check. Such discrepancies arise when a feed and a store page are updated at different times, or when a campaign price is present in the feed but not in the store’s page template. Always check the final price at the checkout before you pay — it’s the only number that matters, regardless of what a feed or a comparison site shows.

The price spread isn’t because any store sells a different variant. All three list the same EAN, and all three describe the same six balls on the same silicone string, even though the measurements are slightly different and they use three different product names. So this comes down to the stores’ own margin setting. Shipping costs are added by most stores under a certain order value, and in this price range all three are below the threshold for free shipping at most providers—which can even out the gap between the cheapest and the most expensive more than you might think.

Who is it for—and who isn’t it for?

It’s for you if you already have experience with anal toys and want a beaded row with clearly increasing sizes rather than many small, equally sized balls. It’s for you if you prioritize the material above all: platinum-hardened silicone molded in one piece, with an unambiguous material declaration, is hard to beat for 212 SEK. It’s for you if you want a product that can’t break electrically, doesn’t need charging, and doesn’t have an end-of-life determined by a battery. And it’s for you if you want actual measurements to base your decision on before buying, since Blush publishes four of them plus its own measurement graphic.

It’s not for you if you’re a beginner. A combination of 3.8 centimeters on the widest ball and a loop instead of a wide base is the wrong way to start, and Blush’s own 12.5-inch model with a maximum width of 1.9 centimeters is made specifically for that. It’s not for you if you want vibration—there’s no motor and there will never be one. It’s not for you if you require a shore hardness or a ball diameter for each individual ball, because the manufacturer doesn’t publish either. And it’s not for you if you’re counting on a manufacturer warranty, for the reasons given in the next section.

One more thing belongs in the decision. This product is long—40.6 centimeters is not something that fits in a toiletry bag without being rolled up, and rolling it up at the same point again and again is precisely what, in the long run, causes a crack in the shaft. Plan on having it lie fully extended or loosely coiled in a drawer, and factor that into the storage question before you buy.

Warranty, claims, and right of withdrawal

The warranty situation is the weakest point in the entire specification, and it should be said plainly. The manufacturer’s product data for this item states warranty: none. Blush therefore provides no voluntary manufacturer warranty for this product.

Blush’s general warranty page explains why. The warranty the brand offers covers only electronic faults, provides a one-time replacement with a product with the same suggested retail price, and applies in the USA and Canada. Anal Adventures is included in the list of product ranges covered, but since this particular item contains no electronics, there is nothing the warranty can cover—and the geographic limitation makes it, in practice, irrelevant for a Swedish buyer regardless. Blush’s return terms also state that returns are not accepted for products of an intimate nature.

What does always apply, though, are your statutory rights, and they are independent of what the manufacturer promises. Under the Swedish Sale of Goods Act (konsumentköplagen), you have three years’ right to make a complaint for original defects in the item—examples of such included matters are a casting defect, a crack that was there from the start, or a material that does not match the stated description. The complaint is directed at the store you bought it from, not at Blush.

For distance purchases, you also have a right of withdrawal for fourteen days under the Act on Distance Contracts and Contracts Outside Business Premises (lagen om distansavtal och avtal utanför affärslokaler). Be aware that, in practice, the right of withdrawal is limited for hygiene products that have been removed from a sealed package—and this item is delivered, according to the manufacturer’s own product image, in a cardboard box with a hanging opening where the product is visible through the front of the packaging. The right to make a complaint for defects, however, always applies. If you have questions about what applies in your case, Konsumentverket (the Swedish Consumer Agency) guides you via Hallå konsument.

Frequently asked questions about Blush Anal Adventures Large Anal Beads

How long are Blush Anal Adventures Large Anal Beads really?
The manufacturer states the total length as 16 inches, which corresponds to 40.6 centimeters, and the insertable length as 15 inches or 38.1 centimeters. The Swedish stores differ slightly: Joyland lists 40.6 centimeters, Vuxen lists 40 centimeters, and Intima lists 39 centimeters. Vuxen and Joyland both list 38 centimeters insertable, which matches the manufacturer. Where a store contradicts the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s specification applies—that is, 40.6 centimeters total.
How big are the beads, and how many are there?
Six beads. The manufacturer’s own measurement chart lists the largest bead at 1.5 inches, i.e. 3.8 centimeters in diameter, and the smallest at 0.9 inches or 2.3 centimeters. The circumference around the thickest part is listed as 4.77 inches, corresponding to 12.1 centimeters. Blush does not publish measurements for the four beads that sit between the outer ends, and none of the Swedish stores does either. Intima lists a deviating range of 2 to 3.5 centimeters.
What’s the difference between Large and the 12.5-inch Anal Adventures Platinum?
Geometry, not the material. The 12.5-inch model with item number BL-11015 measures 31.8 centimeters overall and 26 centimeters insertable. It has ten beads instead of six and a maximum width of 1.9 centimeters—exactly half of the Large model’s 3.8 centimeters. It weighs 85 grams versus 153. Both are cast in the same Puria platinum-hardened silicone with UltraSilk finish, both have a retrieval string, and both are declared free from phthalates, paraffins, and latex. The narrow one is the beginner model; this one is the next step up.
Which lubricant should I use?
Water-based. The manufacturer explicitly states that water-based lube is recommended and that silicone-based lube should not be used on silicone products because it breaks down the silicone. Silicone oil is chemically related to the material and penetrates the surface layer instead of sitting on top, which makes the surface swell and, over time, become sticky and porous. The damage can’t be repaired. Oil-based products such as coconut oil also leave a film that is difficult to remove and that breaks down latex condoms.
Is the product waterproof, and can I use it in the shower?
Blush does not publish any IPX rating for this item. Enclosure ratings according to IEC 60529 exist to describe how a housing protects electronics, and this product has no electronics to protect — therefore the information is not applicable. The retailer Vuxen states that the item is waterproof. That matches what the material allows: a product molded in one piece of silicone without cavities, seams, or electronics can be rinsed and submerged without anything being damaged. So the absence of an IPX rating is not a warning signal here, unlike with a product with a motor.
How do I clean the anal balls?
The manufacturer’s instructions are to clean before and after each use with mild, unperfumed soap and water or with a cleaning agent intended for intimate products, and to let the product dry completely before putting it away. On a pearl string, two points deserve extra attention: the grooves between each ball and the shaft, where residue will remain if you only rinse, and the inside of the pulling loop. Let your finger follow the entire shaft around each ball. Wipe with a clean towel and let it air-dry before putting the product away, and store it separately and not tightly rolled up.
What warranty applies if the product breaks?
No manufacturer warranty. Blush’s product data for this item expressly states a warranty: none. The brand’s general warranty only covers electronic faults, offers a one-time replacement with a product with the same list price, and applies only in the USA and Canada — so it is both irrelevant for a product without electronics and for a Swedish buyer. Your statutory rights still apply: konsumentköplagen provides a three-year right to complain for original defects in the item, for example a molding defect, and the complaint is made to the store you purchased from. For distance purchases, you also have a fourteen-day right of withdrawal, with the practical exception that the right of withdrawal is limited for hygiene products that have been removed from a sealed package.
Where is it the cheapest, and is it in stock?
Three Swedish stores sold the item with EAN 819835026440 during the price check on July 29, 2026, and all three had it in stock. Joyland was the cheapest at 212 SEK, followed by Vuxen at 249 SEK and Intima at 299 SEK. The spread is 87 SEK or 41 percent for the exact same item number. Note that Joyland’s listing price of 212 SEK differed from the 249 SEK that the store’s own product page showed during the check — always check the final price at checkout.

I run the site myself and have reviewed 395 products since 2023. Before that, I worked for eight years as a buyer of intimate hygiene products, and that’s where the product knowledge comes from. Each review is based on the manufacturer’s own specifications, product data sheets, and price data from all the shops that sell the product — all sources are at the very bottom of the page and can be checked. I compare the models against each other based on what can actually be verified: materials, dimensions, intensity levels, water-resistance rating, warranty, and price. If you find an error, I want to know about it.
