Lots of people experiment with anal stuff these days. Whether we are talking about anal intercourse or just playing around with toys focused on that area – chances are that you have been at least interested in what the sensations feel like.
When it comes to everything anal, there will always be some hurdles to overcome though, particularly for people completely new to anything involving anal.
Today, we will be taking a look at a luxury sex toy designed to make the anal experience more accessible and pleasurable for anyone – the LELO Soraya Beads anal massager.
LELO has been mainly known for its range of elite vibrators and its innovative male sex toys for a while, but Soraya Beads Anal Massager bring something new to the table – it is a completely gender-neutral toy. This is the type of affair that can be used both as a prostate vibrator or by vulva-owners looking to experience the thrills of anal stimulation.
Before we get started, know that I will be reviewing the Soraya Beads as a straight, vulva-owning woman with some prior experience with various anal sex toys and anal intercourse.
I have steered away from everything involving anal for a while now. A year or more.
This is good news though as it will allow me to experience the Beads as a beginner of sorts.
So, why not get started?

A Quick Introduction – What Is The LELO Soraya Beads Anal Massager?
In a nutshell, the LELO Soraya Beads can be described as a sort of cross between a set of anal beads and a vibrator. The toy itself is like a narrow wand-type thing that consists of four bulbs that gradually increase in size.
At first glance, it can be hard to find any sort of innovation here, but the devil is in the details. Look at the beads and slide your fingers all over them…you will quickly see just how smooth the flow from one bead to the next one feels.
This is due to the cascading design of the beads – the idea here is to provide a toy where the anal experience will be smooth instead of intrusive.
And then there is the vibration – the vibrations of LELO toys usually feel deep and intense. The type of stuff that ripples through your entire body.
Honestly, can’t wait to see how these sorts of vibrations work with the cascading feel of the Soraya Beads.
So, how about we get them beads out of the box?
What’s In The Box?
The LELO Soraya Beads come with a beautiful, minimal, matte black box. The box is see-through, but the shipment itself will be plain and discreet. No need to worry about those pesky couriers or onlookers wondering about your anal ventures!
Here’s what’s inside the box:
- LELO Soraya Beads Anal Massager – The one and only. It looks beautiful even inside the box. This, by the way, goes for pretty much all LELO toys. The LELO IDA Wave and the LELO Dot are just some examples of other LELO vibes that look like pieces of art instead of sex toys.
- USB Charging Cord – The beads use an USB connection to charge. My toy came already fully charged, but you can expect a few hours of charging to be sufficient to get your beads to a max charge.
- Satin Storage Pouch – Cute and sleek. Again, good for keeping the toy away from prying eyes.
- Warranty Registration Card – LELO takes customer care very seriously. As such, I suggest you register your toy. Should you have any issues, the warranty will make sure that all your bases are covered.
- Detailed Instruction Manual – Covers everything associated with using the toy safely. I did my research on the beads online, but some folks prefer to go old-school and read manuals. As such, a useful small booklet to have!
- A Small Pack Of LELO Lube – Useful addition as you will need plenty of lube for the Soraya Beads experience. LELO lube is also completely body-safe so it will be good enough for the job. Keep in mind that it is a small pack though so it will only get you through one session.
First Impressions – The 3 Key Features & Design of LELO Soraya Beads
As I got my beads out of the box, the very first thing I noticed was just how erotic and nice the material feels. The silicone is completely body-safe and feels firm and, for a lack of better word, satin-like. Just super nice to the touch!
Feels super comfortable to hold too with the toy having a functional “handle” that also has the buttons for controlling your beads.
I already briefly described the cascading balls on the toy, but they feel even more interesting when you run your fingers from one ball to the next one. To be fair, the design itself made me want to experiment with getting the beads in me!
Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves though.
Before I give you my personal review, allow me to quickly run through the main features of LELO Soraya Beads. This is not about boring technical details because these beads do bring plenty of pleasure innovation to the table.
Best if you’ll be aware of everything you can expect here:
- 8 different settings – The different patterns and intensities allow you to experiment a bit. I suggest starting with something slow and teasing if you are new to anal stimulation. Once you get more comfortable with the toy, feel free to work your way up to the more intense stuff. Flicking through different settings is done via the three buttons situated on the “handle” of the toy. The middle one is for switching between patterns while the two on the sides are for tinkering with the intensity levels.
- The Bow Motion technology – Fancy wording here, but this is not hot air when it comes to LELO. The Bow Motion technology in Soraya Beads is, in short, the rippling and vibrating movement that feels unlike anything else out there. LELO itself has described the movement as similar to a violin player…and, well, I kind of get it. The key here is this – the vibrations go from one bead to the next smoothly, creating a wave-like feeling that relaxes the entire area and stimulates it in ever-so-pleasurable ways.
- Gender neutrality – The Bow Motion technology also ensures that the Soraya Beads will hit the right spots. Your orientation or gender are non-issues here. If you have an anus, you can get your fill from the Soraya Beads.
My Personal Experience With The LELO Soraya Beads
As I mentioned, I have been away from all kinds of anal play for a while. As such, I was slightly scared of the Soraya Beads experience.
To get myself in the mood, I started with a completely different toy. I teased myself with one of my favorite wand vibrators, the one and only Domi 2 from Lovense. After a while, when I was getting close to an orgasm, I started to slowly play around with my anus.
Here, using lube is mandatory – whether you are new to anal play or not, a body-safe lube is essential here. The Soraya Beads come with a small pack of lube so feel free to use that one if you don’t have anything else available. The lube will obviously help with getting the beads in, but it also has the lovely side-effect of well…adding a sort of sexual spice to things. I suspect I am not the only one who loves looking at my ass all lovely and shiny.
Back to the Soraya Beads now – the first bulb on the toy is super small. It went in surprisingly easy. There was zero resistance from my body and I immediately felt the need to switch on the vibrations after getting the small ball inside me.
I stayed put and just enjoyed the sensation for a while – I would describe the experience as tingling. In a very good way. The kind of tingle that makes you want to get more of what you are experiencing.
On to the second bead we go. Again, it is quite small and slides in easily. Especially when combined with loads of lube and the vibration. This time though – you start to feel the toy work its magic a bit. You start to get that lovely, filled-up feeling with the added plus of the deep, rippling vibrations.
Now, the third and fourth bulbs are where you really start to understand the Bow Motion technology. Yes, it is an anal toy, but the sensations are completely different when compared to other similar stuff I have tried.
The four bulbs and the vibrations create a sort of thrusting motion. This is strange considering that you can’t compare the Soraya Beads to something like a thrusting dildo as it doesn’t really offer a thrusting movement. However, the sensation is kind of similar to one. Albeit much gentler, which obviously works in the favor of the Beads.
You don’t want a starter anal toy to be too harsh! Lest you risk ruining the entire experience pretty much immediately.
So, how’s the orgasm rating? More than good. When I got used to the Soraya Beads inside me, I also started using my free hand to play with my clit. The result was a sort of supercharged clit orgasm with a lovely bonus of a super filled-up feeling that I didn’t even remember enjoying so much from my previous experiences with anal toys.
Now, before I move on to my rundown of the advantages and disadvantages of Soraya Beads, allow me to give you another pro tip.
If you are in a relationship and are open to anal play then try using the Soraya Beads during intercourse as well. For me, the results were pretty damn good. Again, it adds a completely new dimension to the mix – there is the excitement of the forbidden, the sensation of classic penetration, and the filled-up feeling from anal that I re-learned to love. Just a lovely mix of good, good stuff.
The Pros Of LELO Soraya Beads
As you already read, I enjoyed my Soraya Beads experience. A lot.
Some of you folks like neatly organized lists of advantages and disadvantages though so I put together a quick list of the particular highlights associated with this anal massager:
Good entry-point to anal play
This LELO anal massager is often hailed as one of the very best entry-points to anal play. And, it fully succeeds in this. I mean, the entire experience feels gentle at times. Not a sensation often associated with anal toys.
Truly unisex toy
Our writer Noah also got to try this one out – according to him, the beads can easily compete with some of the best prostate massagers out there. Enough said!
Waterproof experience
You can freely take your Soraya Beads to the shower and bath. In fact, I would recommend doing so – warm water can further help you relax and help you enjoy exploring those “forbidden” zones on your body!
The design
I am talking about both the technical and the aesthetic aspect here. The Bow Motion technology feels good and helps you ease into anal play. Meanwhile, the toy also manages to look super sleek and beautiful.
Good range of vibration settings
They have thought about everything here! Vibrations that range from something timid and soft all the way to pulsating and intense ensure that anyone will find something suited to their body here. Doesn’t matter whether you are an anal novice or a seasoned explorer of butt stuff.
Great for use during intercourse
It took me some time before I dared to use my Soraya Beads during vaginal intercourse, but when I eventually got there, I was immediately sold. Using something as kinky as this adds a new layer of excitement to my sex life. Feels super good too. Impressive, considering that I have never tried or even dreamed about something like double penetration before.
The Cons Of LELO Soraya Beads
In the following, allow me to also share the few qualms I have with this toy:
The price point
As with all LELO toys, the Soraya Beads sit at the higher price tier of sex toys. As such, you will seriously have to consider whether this investment will be worth it for you or not.
Anal play is not for everyone
The price point directly leads us to the next “disadvantage” of the toy – you see, some people are simply opposed to all sorts of anal play. And this is completely fine. The last thing you want is to spend your hard-earned money on something that simply isn’t for you. Never get into anal exploration in order to prove anything to anyone. Not worth it! There are loads of other, vulva-focused toys for you to explore that can elevate your sex game just as well.
Where To Get The Best Price & Are The Soraya Beads Worth It?
If you have made up your mind and want to get the Soraya Beads anal massager then you can find the best current price for the toy at the official site of LELO.
Official site has many benefits – special discounts are available quite often, you get access to solid customer care, and well, the site simply looks beautiful to look at.
Now, is the toy worth it or not? As you saw in my personal review, I am a big fan. To me, easily one of the best entry points to anal toys. This alone makes it worth it in my book. In addition, I found the beads to be surprisingly versatile.
Using anal beads during an intercourse was not something I envisioned myself enjoying…but I gave it a try and it was pretty damn hot. Will repeat!
If you have at all wondered about anal play, but have not found the right toy to start with then this could be the key to unlocking the wonderful world of anal. This is the niche of Soraya Beads…and for this niche, it will absolutely be worth it.
On that note, I will call it a night for today.
As always, thank you for reading! We will meet soon enough as I have a lot of good, very interesting content to share with you fine people.
