I’ve lost my anal beads virginity to the FeelzToys Cogilia and I couldn’t have asked for a nicer, gentler experience. These are your basic beads with a little twist. Instead of spherical beads it has four sort of lop sided peanut shaped beads. One half of each bead is larger than the other half. The larger half of each bead goes in first and they graduate in size from 5/8” to 1” in diameter. The entire chain is 7 ½” of insertable length, ending with a soft, flexible ring that serves the purpose of a handle and a base that stops the chain from getting lost inside the rectum.
The Cogilia is made of Platinum Silicone (“platinum” refers to the curing process), which is one of the best materials for sex toys. It is both body safe and hygienic, as it can be sterilized. Considering where you’ll be shoving these, that’s a must. You can use a 10% bleach solution to sterilize them or boil them for about five minutes. I’m pretty comfortable washing them with antibacterial soap but if I were inclined to put them in my vagina (I’m not) or share them, they would definitely need to be sterilized.
The silicone has a matte finish and feels velvety against the skin. I don’t notice them picking up excessive amounts of lint. These beads aren’t seamless and the largest bead has a raised FeelzToys logo. I felt neither when inserted. The Cogilia only comes in one color and it’s a bright, can’t miss it, puplish fuschia.
FeelzToys specifies the use of water based lubricant only. This is pretty standard for silicone toys. It’s best to never use silicone lube with silicone toys. The silicone lube breaks down the silicone of the toy and it becomes gooey and sticky and ruins the toy. You also want to store these beads away from other silicone toys.
The packaging is fairly simple and not discreet. The beads can be seen through the cellophane window of the box. They do not come with a storage bag but I just use Ziplock bags for my silicone toys that have no pouch of their own.

So was it good for me? Yeah, they were pleasant enough and I have no complaints. Now, I know that their main purpose is to enhance orgasm by pulling them out right at that glorious moment. Unfortunately, my lady parts can be fickle. It seems as though conditions have to be exactly right and Venus retrograde, for me to get off. So, trying to get myself there while preparing to pull the beads is kind of awkward. This has nothing to do with the performance of the beads. It’s just something unique to me. I liked having them inserted while having sex, doggy style, where my husband could easily jiggle them back and forth. The beads are a little on the small side, which makes them perfect for a beginner but for those needing more girth, you might want to pass on these.
I enjoyed popping my anal beads cherry with the FeelzToys Cogilia. I’m sure that I’ll keep them in my repertoire and I’m happy to have them in my modest toy collection.
Have you tried them while masturbating and having your husband pull them out as you’re coming? I’ve always been curious about anal beads, just wasn’t sure if it would feel good. I always assumed only men can get pleasure from things like that because they have the prostate gland which feels all kinds of wonderful. I do like how beginner-friendly they look. Are they really awkward to put inside though? They look pretty soft.
Girl, let me tell you.. ass play can rock for a woman just as much as it can for a man. Sure they have the p-spot..whatever. We still have the highest concentration of nerve endings in one spot (the clit). It’s even possible for women to have orgasms from anal stimulation alone. I’ve not had this yet but…
I have just recently (like in the last year), kind of, lost my anal virginity. I guess it’s more accurate to say that I’m more comfortable with it now. Dizzyguy and I didn’t always know what we were doing when it came to anal. That’s why it hurt back then. These days, we got it figured out.
But you have a great idea and I think I’m gonna work it in to our routine and see how it goes. I’ll have him go down on me, with the beads inserted and when I start to come, he can pull them out. The reason I didn’t consider this before is that I have had a difficult time having an orgasm (due to meds, long story, upcoming post), especially from oral sex. But recently, I’ve been able to get off on cunnilingus again so, I’m all kinds of excited about that. So thank you for the idea. Definitely gonna do the anal beads next time.
They aren’t awkward to insert at all. What we usually do is work it into our foreplay and he puts them in for me. We like to do that with my butt plugs too. You just have to be comfortable with anal play, be relaxed and all that and lube everything up really well. They just pop right in, really. The Cogilia beads are a little on the small side. I consider myself an anal beginner and even I craved a little more girth. I could completely recommend them to you if you’re unsure but would like to experiment with it. They really are gentle and the size is perfect if you’re apprehensive about that at all. They are very soft and smooth. There is nothing about these beads that’s uncomfortable.
You never know, it could end up being your thing. 😉
Really? I’ve never heard of that, a woman cumming from anal stimulation. That could be interesting.
You’re welcome ^^ It’s always nice to get off on cunnilingus. I don’t get off too often from that alone, but when I do, mmmmm. 🙂 We’ve tried rimming, and while he finds a lot of pleasure from it (it’s the only time I actually hear him make sounds, usually he’s so silent), I didn’t get much out of it. But sometimes while I’m masturbating and he just has his finger near the perineum, it can feel pretty good. So maybe it could be our thing in the future ^^
I didn’t know Feelztoys was based in the Netherlands. That’s nifty! I’ve never tried anal beads, but I know I enjoy anal/rectal stimulation combined with other types of pleasure, so maybe I’m missing out?
Good for you for trying something new!
Just stumbled across this review – these look really cute and non-threatening to butt beginners. I think I’d like the interesting approach Feelztoys has taken with the graduated sizes, the double-bubble-looking things. As always, your intrepid reviewing is appreciated!
