Mr. Play Waterdrop Anal Balls XL 52,5 cm: review

Mr. Play Waterdrop Anal Balls XL at a glance — here’s what you get

Mr. Play Waterdrop Anal Balls XL is a single molded silicone bead chain with four drop-shaped balls, a long, slim stem, and a large finger ring at the end. There is no motor, no battery, no electronics, and no moving parts. The entire product is one piece of silicone, and in that sense it is one of the simplest designs sold in this category.

However, the size is anything but simple. The manufacturer’s own dimension sketch specifies a total length of 524 millimeters and a diameter of 48 millimeters. That makes this item one of the largest anal balls available in Swedish retail at all, and it is explicitly labeled SIZE: XL by the manufacturer itself. The net weight is stated as 377 grams. The material is listed with a single word: silicone. In Sweden, the item is sold by three retailers for 349 or 359 SEK, and all three had it in stock at the price check on July 29, 2026.

This review is about the item with EAN 6959532339888, which in the manufacturer’s own register is called BI-040230-MR. The number is checked directly against the manufacturer’s product entry, where the Bar Code field indicates exactly that number for this particular item. It is important to keep track of this, because the series comes in three sizes with three different EANs, and because at least one other brand sells a product with almost the same name.

Who manufactures Mr. Play, and why does it matter?

Mr. Play is not a standalone brand, but one of four brand series from Liaoyang Baile Health Products Co., Ltd in Liaoning, China. The company states that it was founded in 1993, that the range includes more than 4,000 items, and that it holds more than 400 patents. The other three series are called BAILE, Pretty Love, and Crazy Bull, and Mr. Play is described by the manufacturer as the series that brings together anal products. The Pretty Love logo is also printed on the side of this packaging, which is the visible link between the series.

Knowing who the manufacturer is plays a practical role for two reasons. The first is that the manufacturer’s own register is the only place where you can get the net weight, packaging dimensions, and a measurement sketch for this article—no Swedish store publishes either of them. The second is that you can then compare the article with its siblings on the exact same basis instead of comparing shop descriptions with each other.

What the waterdrop shape is, and what it actually adds

Classic anal beads are a row of round balls on a cord or a stem. The waterdrop shape replaces the ball with a drop: each bead starts narrow on the end that’s inserted first and widens to its full width before it’s strung toward the next. That’s the only difference from a regular row of balls, and it’s also the whole point of the model name.

What that means in practice is that the increase in width is spread out over a longer distance. On a ball, you go from zero to full width over about half the ball’s diameter; on a drop, the same width increase happens over almost the entire length of the ball. What can be established is that the rise per millimeter becomes more gradual, and that’s the geometric explanation for why this shape is usually described as softer to insert than a ball with the same largest dimension. It doesn’t change the fact that the largest dimension is still 48 millimeters.

One thing that the shop descriptions say but that has no equivalent in the manufacturer’s specifications should be mentioned here. The Swedish product texts talk about “gradvis ökande” balls. The manufacturer’s measurement sketch sets out a single diameter measurement for the entire product—48 millimeters—and no separate measurements per ball. Grading is therefore inside each drop, not between the balls. Anyone buying this article thinking it works like a training step ladder with four increasing sizes will be disappointed. It’s four balls of the same largest dimension.

XL, Large, or Medium — which Waterdrop is which?

The series is available in three sizes, and the manufacturer publishes its own measurement sketch and its own net weight for each. That means they can be compared with one another without involving a single shop detail:

• Medium, BI-040228-MR — 335 millimeters long, 28 millimeters in diameter, 94 grams, EAN 6959532340105. Sold in Sweden from 229 SEK.
• Large, BI-040229-MR — 426 millimeters long, 38 millimeters in diameter, 200 grams, EAN 6959532339895. Sold in Sweden from 279 SEK.
• XL, BI-040230-MR — 524 millimeters long, 48 millimeters in diameter, 377 grams, EAN 6959532339888. The model this text is about, starting from 349 SEK.

The step between the sizes is ten millimeters in diameter, and it’s a big step. From Medium to XL, the diameter almost doubles, and the net weight quadruples. Jumping directly to XL because it only costs 120 SEK more than Medium is the most common and most expensive miscalculation with this series: the price difference is small, but the size difference isn’t.

Material and build quality: silicone all the way through

The material issue is the only feature of an anal product that can’t be compensated for through experience or care. Here the manufacturer’s job is short and unambiguous: silicone. The same word appears in the product listing, and on the packaging there’s a symbol labeled "silicone". This applies to the entire product, because the entire product is one single molded piece—balls, shaft, and ring in one piece, with no seams, no glue joints, and no hard inserts.

What silicone means for an anal item

Silicone is a non-porous material. A non-porous surface can be cleaned, because there are no microscopic cavities where residue can get trapped. This is the single most important property of a material that is meant to sit against mucous membranes, and for an anal product it weighs more heavily than it does for almost every other product category.

That the product is molded in one piece has a direct hygienic consequence that sets it apart from most anal balls in the same price range. Many cheaper models consist of separate balls strung on a cord or on a core made of another material, and exactly the transition between the ball and the cord is the place where residue collects—and where the product ultimately can no longer be cleaned. Here there is no such transition. The cut between two drops is an indentation in the same molded silicone, and it can be rinsed off like any other surface.

What the manufacturer, on the other hand, does not publish is the material’s hardness. No Shore value is given, and there’s no information about whether the shaft is stiffer than the balls. For a chain that’s 52 centimeters long, that’s a relevant omitted detail, because bending stiffness determines how much force is transferred from the hand to the outermost ball. The manufacturer describes the product as flexible, but publishes no measurement of how flexible.

Phthalates, plasticizers, and a missing declaration

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic—especially soft PVC—flexible. The Swedish Chemicals Agency describes them as substances that can affect the hormone system and make reproduction harder, and several of them are therefore restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. This product category is a recurring subject of oversight precisely because it contains soft plastic against mucous membranes.

Here the answer has to be honest. The manufacturer does not publish any explicit declaration stating that the product is free from phthalates, BPA, or latex. The materials list says silicone and nothing more. That is not the same as a commitment. What can nevertheless be concluded is that silicone, unlike flexible PVC, does not require phthalate plasticizers to become pliable—the pliability comes from the polymer’s own structure. A correct materials specification that reads silicone is therefore, in itself, a better indication than labels such as "TPE" or "jelly rubber," which do not say anything at all about which plasticizers are included.

The stores go further than the manufacturer. The Swedish product descriptions write "medical-grade silicone," and Blush Me states the material as "high-quality silicone." Neither of those formulations comes from the manufacturer, and neither of them corresponds to a defined standard. "Medical-grade silicone" is a marketing term without a fixed meaning in this product category. Treat it as a store claim, not as a classification.

The manufacturer publishes a CE test report on its website, but that does not help here. It is issued by Shenzhen EBO Testing Center under number EBO1912067-E167 on January 3, 2020; it covers the product category "MASSAGERS," and it only tests the electromagnetic standards EN 55014-1:2017 and EN 55014-2:2015. A product without electronics has no electromagnetic properties to test. There is therefore no product-specific declaration of conformity published for BI-040230-MR, and the published report should not be read as if it were that.

Dimensions and weight: 524 or 525 millimeters?

The dimensions are the most well-documented part of this specification, and at the same time the one where the sources do not quite match. The manufacturer’s dimension sketch states 524 millimeters in total length and 48 millimeters in diameter. The manufacturer’s own label image for the same item states Φ 48 mm and L 525 mm. So there is a one-millimeter difference between two pieces of information from the same manufacturer, and it is reasonably more likely to be a rounding rather than a real difference.

The Swedish stores have settled on the higher value. Blush Me states 52.50 centimeters and a maximum diameter of 4.80 centimeters; Vuxen states a total length of 52.5 centimeters and a diameter of 4.8 centimeters; and the product name in all three stores contains 52.5 cm. The British retailer FETCH instead lists 52.4 centimeters—that is, the figure from the dimension sketch—and, converted, 20.63 inches. The difference has no practical significance, but it explains why you may come across two different numbers for the same item.

An important clarification concerns what length we’re talking about. All sources state the total length. None of them states insertable length, and the two measurements are not the same thing on this product: a significant part of the 52.5 centimeters consists of the narrow shaft between the top bead and the finger ring, and that part is not designed to be inserted. Someone comparing this article to a product where the retailer states insertable length compares two different measurements. The manufacturer does not publish any insertable length for BI-040230-MR.

Weight has its own history. The manufacturer lists the net weight as 377 grams in the product listing. The European wholesaler that lists the same EAN instead lists 337 grams. It’s the same numbers in swapped order, and it looks like an input error somewhere in the chain. The manufacturer’s information carries the most weight, and 377 grams also matches better with the sibling models’ 200 grams for Large and 94 grams for Medium. No Swedish store publishes any weight at all.

According to the manufacturer, the packaging measures 493 × 70 × 60 millimeters, and 18 units fit in a carton. It’s worth noting for a practical reason: the carton is almost half a meter long. A package in that format is difficult to make discreet regardless of what the store writes about neutral packaging, and it’s a real consequence of the product being as long as it is.

This is how the product is designed to be used

The construction consists of three parts that are all molded together in the same casting: four drop-shaped beads, a long, narrow shaft, and a closed ring at the end. The manufacturer describes the ring as a large stop ring that holds the beads at a safe depth outside the body, and at the same time functions as a comfortable loop for removal. Vuxen lists the same detail under the heading base type, with the value finger ring.

That’s the only function the product has, and it’s also the only function it needs. There are no positions to step through, no app, no battery, and nothing that can break electrically. Everything that determines whether the product works for you comes down to the geometry: 48 millimeters as the largest dimension, four beads, and 52.5 centimeters total length.

Safety ring: the only detail that makes the product safe

The requirement for an anal product is absolute and differs from all other product categories: it must be possible to get it back out again. The rectum has no natural stop, and a product without an external barrier can slide in completely. That’s why a wide base or a ring isn’t a convenience feature—it’s the entire safety design.

The restraint is a closed ring cast in one piece with the rest. It is the strongest variant available for two reasons. The first is that a ring cannot come loose from the stem because there is no joint between them—unlike constructions where a ring is threaded onto or glued onto a cord. The second is that a closed ring can be gripped with a finger even with wet hands and lubricant, which a straight handle does not do.

What still requires some thought is the stem length. Because the stem is narrow and long, the ring is far from the top ball when the product is in place, which means the pulling direction is not straight. What can be established purely mechanically is that a pulling force in the ring first straightens the stem and then acts on the balls, which makes the pull softer but also less precise than on a shorter product. The manufacturer does not publish any information about the stem’s tensile strength.

Four balls at 48 millimeters—what that number means

48 millimeters is the number the whole decision hinges on. As a comparison, the largest ball in the series’ Medium model is 28 millimeters, and in the Large model it is 38 millimeters. So XL is ten millimeters above Large, which in turn is ten millimeters above Medium.

What makes this product demanding is not just the measurement itself, but that it is repeated four times. Because the balls have the same diameter, the same largest dimension passes four times, with a narrowing in between. It is a completely different use than a single plug with the same diameter, where the measurement is passed once and then stays in place. The manufacturer also expressly directs the product to experienced users, and in this case it is not a marketing phrase but a reasonable description of what the specification entails.

If you don’t already know that 48 millimeters works for you, this article is the wrong starting point. The series has two smaller sizes with the same shape, the same material, and the same ring construction, and they cost 229 and 279 SEK respectively. It’s cheaper to buy the wrong size once at 28 millimeters than to buy the wrong size once at 48.

Which lubricant works with silicone?

Water-based. Silicone-based lubricant should not be used on silicone products—it breaks down the silicone surface over time and makes it porous, and a porous surface can no longer be cleaned properly; it can only be replaced. Oil-based products such as coconut oil leave a film that’s hard to remove and that collects dirt.

For anal use, one more thing applies: the rectum produces no moisture of its own, so lubricant is therefore not an improvement but a prerequisite. A thicker, water-based anal lubricant lasts longer than a thin one before it needs topping up, and that matters for a product of this length because a single insertion takes longer than it does on a short plug. The manufacturer publishes no lubricant recommendation for the item.

Water resistance: "waterproof" without an IP rating

The manufacturer states water resistance with a single word in the product entry — Waterproof — and puts the same symbol on the packaging. The Swedish shop text builds on this and writes that the product is perfect for water play in the shower or bathtub.

What an IP rating would have said, and why it’s missing

The word watertight is not a rating. The international standard IEC 60529 defines enclosure classes for equipment, and that’s where designations like IPX7 come from. A number in the second position indicates exactly what water test the product has been tested against — splashes, jets, or immersion in a specified depth for a specified time. The manufacturer does not publish an IP rating for this item.

In this case, the absence is less serious than it usually is, and the reason is the design. IP ratings exist to describe how well an enclosure protects what’s inside it. This product has nothing inside it: it’s solid silicone with no battery compartment, no buttons, no seams, and no charging contact. There is simply no way for water to get in. What can be established is that a one-piece molded silicone body doesn’t take any damage from being rinsed, and that the missing rating is therefore not a hidden problem in the same way it would be on a product with a motor.

It should still be noted plainly, for principled reasons: a product without a published IP rating should, in normal circumstances, be treated as not watertight. Here, it’s the design — not the manufacturer’s words — that carries the claim.

Cleaning, inspection, and storage

The manufacturer’s own instruction is that the product is easy to clean with warm water and a cleaning agent for sex toys. Rinse the entire chain after each use; be especially careful in the twists between the drops, where residue is easiest to get stuck, and let it air-dry before putting it away. Use fragrance-free soap or a cleaning agent intended for intimate products. The manufacturer states no maximum temperature and no guidance about boiling or using a dishwasher, so treat it as not approved.

A routine worth adding to this exact product is a visual inspection of the shaft and the ring before every use. That’s where all the pulling force is taken up, and it’s also the narrowest part of the casting. A silicone surface that has developed a crack or a cut should not be used anally—partly because the crack can’t be cleaned, and partly because the material is weakened exactly where the load is greatest.

The inspection takes a few seconds: pull the chain between your thumb and index finger—from the ring to the outermost ball—and check that the surface is smooth all the way. Silicone broken down by the wrong lubricant becomes sticky instead of slippery, and that’s the earliest warning sign.

Storage: hanging or loosely rolled up, not tightly tied. Do not store it in direct contact with products made of soft PVC or unknown “jelly” plastic—plasticizers can migrate between materials during prolonged contact and leave a sticky surface. A simple cotton pouch is enough. The manufacturer does not state that any storage pouch is included in the delivery, and none of the three Swedish stores lists any delivery contents in addition to the product itself.

No electronics: what that means for operation and service life.

There is no motor, no battery, and no charging contact. That means that the rows for operating time, charging time, charging contact, battery capacity, and number of vibration modes are all blank for design reasons, and not because the manufacturer has omitted them. The same applies to sound level: a product without a motor emits no operating noise, so there is therefore no decibel value to publish or request.

What determines the service life of a product without electronics

On a battery-powered product, it’s almost always the cell that sets the limit: capacity drops with the number of charge cycles, the battery is rarely replaceable, and the product is practically used up when the cell is. There is no such limit here. The only thing that can run out is the silicone itself, and silicone ages slowly if it isn’t exposed to solvents, UV light, or mechanical damage.

In practice, there are three things that ultimately mean the product should be discarded: a cut or a crack in the surface, discoloration that can’t be removed during cleaning, or a sticky surface after contact with the wrong lubricant or the wrong storage material. None of these has anything to do with usage time. This is a real and underrated benefit of this kind of design, and it should be factored in when comparing the price against an electronic product in the same price range.

It should also be said that the low complexity cuts both ways. There’s nothing to upgrade, nothing to adjust, and no function that can compensate if the size turns out to be wrong. A product without controls is either right or wrong from the very start.

Mr. Play Waterdrop Anal Balls XL compared with the alternatives

Three comparisons are relevant: against the two smaller sizes in the same series, which have the same shape and the same material but completely different dimensions, and against the nearest competitor from another brand. All dimension information for the Mr. Play models comes from the manufacturer’s own dimension sketches, and all prices come from the stores’ product feeds as of 29 July 2026.

Against Mr. Play Waterdrop Anal Balls Large 42.6 cm — 70 SEK apart

Large costs 279 SEK and XL costs 349 SEK. That’s a difference of 70 SEK, and for that money you get ten millimeters more in diameter and almost ten centimeters more in length. The manufacturer’s sketch states 426 millimeters and 38 millimeters for Large versus 524 and 48 for XL, and the net weight goes from 200 to 377 grams. Blush Me lists the same measurements in its store text—42.60 centimeters and 3.80 centimeters—which is one of the few times the store’s and the manufacturer’s information matches exactly.

Everything else is identical. The same waterdrop shape, the same one-piece silicone, the same closed-ended finger ring, the same absence of electronics, and the same manufacturer. So the difference is purely dimensional, and that makes the choice unusually simple to put into words: if you’re unsure whether 48 millimeters is right for you, then Large is the safe buy, because you save 70 SEK and get a product you’re more likely to actually use. If you already know that 38 millimeters is too small, then XL is the next step, and there’s nothing in between in the series.

Against Mr. Play Waterdrop Anal Balls Medium 33.5 cm — the entry-level model

Medium costs 229 SEK and measures, according to the manufacturer’s sketch, 335 millimeters in length and 28 millimeters in diameter, with a net weight of 94 grams. It’s the only one of the three that can reasonably be described as an entry-level model, and the difference from XL is dramatic: 20 millimeters less in diameter and one quarter of the weight.

Here, one deviation also shows up that’s worth knowing about. The store text from Blush Me states the length as 33.30 centimeters and the diameter as 3.00 centimeters for Medium, while the manufacturer’s sketch states 335 millimeters and 28 millimeters. The product name in the same store also says 33.5 cm. The manufacturer wins when the figures diverge, but the deviation shows how much of the dimension data in this category passes through multiple steps before it ends up in a Swedish store text. That’s also the reason this review is based on the manufacturer’s sketches instead of the stores’ fields.

The price steps in the series are 229, 279, and 349 SEK. So going from Medium to XL costs 120 SEK and almost doubles the diameter. The temptation to take the biggest one because the difference is small in terms of kronor is exactly the miscalculation that causes the product to end up in the drawer after one attempt.

Against Levelz Silicone Waterdrop Anal Balls XL 50 mm — 120 SEK more expensive

The nearest competitor from another brand is Levelz Silicone Waterdrop Anal Balls XL 50 mm, which Vuxen sells for 469 SEK under article number LVL04-0006BLK. The name is almost identical, and the shape is the same, which makes the two get mixed up in search results and in store listings. They are not the same product.

The Levelz model is listed by the retailer with an insertable length of 49 centimeters and a diameter of 5 centimeters, in silicone, with a finger ring as the base. The differences that matter are two. The first is the measurement: 50 millimeters versus 48, i.e. two millimeters more in diameter. The second is which measurement is shown—Levelz is listed with an insertable length of 49 centimeters, while Mr. Play is listed with a total length of 52.5 centimeters. That means the Levelz model is most likely the longer of the two in the part that is actually used, even though the number headline looks smaller. Someone who compares 52.5 against 49 and concludes that Mr. Play is the longest is comparing the wrong measurements.

The price difference is 120 SEK, or 34 percent, in favor of Mr. Play. Against that, it’s that Levelz is sold in black, while Mr. Play, according to Blush Me, is sold in blue, and that none of the retailers publish weight or material hardness for the Levelz model. For the Mr. Play item, at least the manufacturer’s net weight and a dimension sketch are available to go by, and in this category there is unusually much supporting information.

Price range: 349 to 359 SEK and three stores with stock

Three Swedish stores sell the item with EAN 6959532339888. Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet are both 349 SEK, and Vuxen is 359 SEK. The spread is ten kronor, i.e. just under three percent, and that’s unusually little in this industry—in other product categories, differences of 50 to 170 percent between the cheapest and the most expensive store are more the norm than the exception.

That the spread is so small says something about the item’s position. It’s sold by only a few stores, it’s new enough that no one has had time to undercut the price, and the three that list it are, in practice, using the same price. It also means there isn’t much to save by comparing: the difference between the cheapest and the most expensive is less than what shipping costs at most stores under the threshold for free delivery.

The stock situation, on the other hand, is unusually good. All three stores had the product in stock at the price check on July 29, 2026, which is a better starting point than for most of the items we review. The prices in the table above are updated when the stores’ product feeds are updated, but always check the final price at checkout, and expect that shipping costs are added under a certain order value.

One last practical note about the package: according to the manufacturer, the packaging is 493 millimeters long. A package that’s almost half a meter won’t fit in a mailbox and will require a pickup point with most carriers, no matter how discreet the outer packaging is.

Who is Mr. Play Waterdrop Anal Balls XL for—and who isn’t it for?

It’s for you if you already know that 48 millimeters is a size you’re comfortable with and you want the same thing repeated four times in the same chain. It’s for you if you prefer a product without electronics, because it removes both the battery that gets old and the charging cable that goes missing. It’s for you who want a closed safety ring molded in one piece with the rest, and you who want to be able to rinse the entire product without having to think about where the water goes.

It’s not for you if you’re new to anal toys. This isn’t a question of caution—it’s a question of what the specification actually says: 48 millimeters in diameter, four times over, in a product that the manufacturer itself directs to experienced users. The series has two smaller sizes for that purpose, and they cost less.

It’s also not for you if you want a gradually increasing training progression—the balls have the same maximum size, and the grading happens inside each drop. It’s not for you if you require a published phthalate and BPA declaration before purchase, because the manufacturer only states the material as silicone, with no further commitments. And it’s not for you if you want a product that’s easy to pack or receive discreetly, because both the product and the cardboard box are close to half a meter long.

Warranty, complaints, and right of withdrawal

The manufacturer does not publish any consumer warranty for the Mr. Play series. There is no warranty period stated in the product listing, no warranty page for the brand, and no terms to read. None of the three Swedish stores also states any manufacturer warranty on its product page either. This is, in itself, a common situation in this part of the market, but it should be said plainly instead of being assumed.

What always applies, however, 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 of right to complain about defects in the goods. In practice, a defect here means a casting defect, a crack in the silicone, or a ring that breaks during normal use—i.e., something that makes the product unusable or unsafe.

For distance purchases, you also have a right of withdrawal for fourteen days under the law on distance contracts and agreements outside business premises. Note that in practice, the right of withdrawal is greatly limited for hygiene products that have been removed from a sealed package, which includes this product category. However, the right to complain for defects always applies, whether the package has been opened or not. If you have questions about what applies in your case, Konsumentverket guides you via Hallå konsument.

A final summary of what the information actually amounts to. What is well supported is the dimensions, weight, material in broad terms, the packaging, and the construction — all directly from the manufacturer. What’s missing is material hardness, phthalate declaration, IP rating, insertion length, what’s included in the delivery, and warranty. For a product at this price level, it’s a comparatively good but far from complete specification, and those gaps are why the rating doesn’t end up higher.
