Silicone Love Rider Beaded Dual Penetrator review
The one thing that sets it apart in Anal Beads: size — 6 inch.
A 6-inch beaded plug with a harness loop, designed for couples who want to add anal play without asking too much of anyone. Reviewers consistently call it beginner-friendly, and the size sits right in the approachable middle — not so small it feels pointless, not so large it becomes a project.
What it is actually like
Firm enough that you always know where it is, with graduated beads that let you work up to the full length at your own pace. One reviewer on Reddit noted that their partner "was able to get all the beads in on her first try" thanks to the gradual taper, and several others on Pinkcherry echo that — "small enough that it doesn't hurt and can warm you up for the real thing eventually."
The harness loop is the other half of the design: it keeps the plug in place during penetrative sex, which is exactly what most buyers are using it for. One reviewer said plainly, "Wife loved this one. The size, shape and texture are all great for her." The straps can be a bit firm to adjust at first, but once they're on they stay put.
Silicone means it cleans easily — soap and hot water is genuinely all it needs, and one user confirmed it "survived a 5 minute boil, which is nice." The material is smooth, not tacky, so you will want a good water-based lube to hand.
The main reservation is the brand. Cal Exotics has a reputation for inconsistent quality, and one experienced reviewer on Reddit stated bluntly: "Cal Exotics = cheap and poor quality." That said, the people who bought this particular toy mostly liked it, and the beginner-friendliness subscore sits at 90 — the highest in its category.
It is not the most elegant thing you will own, but it does what it is meant to do, and for many couples that is enough.

Who it suits
Beginners to anal play, especially those exploring it as part of partnered sex. The graduated beads and manageable 6-inch length make it approachable, and the harness loop is the reason most people buy it — it keeps everything in place without needing a hand free.
It also suits anyone who wants something firm and easy to clean. The silicone is non-porous, so you can sterilise it properly, and reviewers consistently mention how straightforward the care is.
If you are looking for something more substantial, or if you have concerns about the brand's reputation for quality control, you might prefer a plug from a manufacturer with a stronger track record. The beginner-friendliness is real, but so is the question mark over Cal Exotics' consistency.
Living with it
Silicone, so soap and hot water is genuinely all it needs. One reviewer boiled it for five minutes without issue, which tells you it will hold up to proper cleaning. Non-porous means you can share it between partners if you sterilise it between uses, though most people keep it to one person.
Store it away from other silicone toys — they can react with each other over time. Use water-based lube only; silicone lube will degrade the material.
Non-porous Silicone
Silicone is smooth, non-porous and body-safe.
Body-safe subscore: 84/100.
Whether the material matters, stated plainly. Where it is porous, say it cannot be sterilised. Ends on how that constrains use.
If this is not quite it
If you want vibration as well, the Waterproof Vibrating Pleasure Beads Purple adds that option at a similar price. If you would rather skip the harness and just have straightforward beads, Shane's World 101 Anal Beads is a simpler, lighter option.
Where it sits
It sits near the top of the best anal beads ranking, scoring 82 overall and 90 for beginner-friendliness — the highest in its category. The harness loop makes it unusual; most beads are just beads, and this one is designed specifically for couples who want hands-free wear during sex.
So is it the right choice for you?

Yes. One reviewer said plainly it is "very goood very easy to clean," and the silicone means soap and hot water is all you need.
