In this LELO Soraya Beads review, I will be taking a closer look at an intriguing and long-time-wanted addition to our sex toy chest. I have always been enjoying our plays with regular, non-vibrating anal beads, meaning that acquiring these vibrating ones will bring me joy and delight.
The LELO Soraya vibrating anal beads, distinguished by their vibrating function and a handy finger loop, promise a truly interesting experience. In this review, I will be focusing on
Soraya’s design, functionality, and user experience. Read on!
How we tested LELO beads?
In our playful testing spree, LELO Soraya Beads became a regular in our bedroom, dropping at least 15 times. It’s almost like they were part of a fun marathon – 9 times I went solo, enjoying a personal race, and 6 times we teamed up for a duo run. We also gathered some chatter from our blogger friends, sprinkling their LELO Soraya Beads insights into our review stew.

Review in short
Things we liked
We like the premium design and feel this sex toy offers. We also like the Bow Vibration technology (more below). And as with many other anal beads, these increase in size, meaning they cater to both beginners and more experienced in anal play.
Things we disliked
Soraya Beads might not be the best choice for folks looking for extra powerful vibrations and extra big (long) toys. Also, the price point places LELO Soraya Beads in a higher market bracket, which might not appeal to budget-conscious buyers.
Key takeaway
LELO Soraya Beads is a worthy addition to any ass player’s toy chest. It’s built to last and features interesting tech (Bow Technology) as well as pleasurable vibrations. The finger loop and button placement make the user experience easy and effortless, which we appreciated. It’s well aimed for beginners and experienced folks, however, folks that look for high intensity, extra length might not be satisfied. Also, the price point might deter some folks.
Box contents and unboxing
The sex toy came in a discreet box containing a pouch, charger, lubricant pouch, and the manual.
Size, weight and material
The beads have a total length of 9.2 in (23.4 cm), with an insertable length of 6 in (15.2 cm).
The beads increase in size, from top to bottom. The very top bead measures XX in width while the maximum bead width reaches up to 1.75 in (4.4 cm).
Gradual increase in size caters to a wide spectrum of folks, making the toy suitable for the very beginners and more experienced folks. LELO Soraya beads, or for that matter, any other anal beads, pose a great choice for the anal play beginners as they can move up to bigger sizes incrementally.
The whole toy weighs 5.1 oz (145 grams) which we consider to be a lightweight toy, easy to handle and control.
While lightweight, according to Leja, LELO Soraya Beads provide a decent sense of fullness, while in use.
Like the other LELO sex toy we reviewed, LELO Hugo 2, Soraya Beads is made from high-grade silicone which feels soft and smooth to the skin, adding to the luxurious feel of the toy as well as longevity.
LELO Soraya Beads features
There are several design features, with each having a specific impact on the experience.
The one feature that piqued my curiosity is the Bow Technology. This feature provides a sensation of motion through the anal beads, without needing to actually physically move the toy.
Put simply, the vibrations travel through the toy, from one bead to another and then back.

The beads also feature a finger loop/handle which is super important and I wish more toys had those incorporated in their design. Having it makes using the toy much more practical and user friendly. Folks with dexterity issues also benefit from having a finger loop.
It solves the issue of having to manipulate the lubed up toy with lubed up hands. It also makes using the buttons more natural as the inserted finger serves as support while pressing the buttons.
There are 3 different buttons on Soraya’s body, two to increase and decrease the intensity and one to cycle through the vibration patterns.
In total, there are 8 different vibration patterns built in the toy.
LELO Soraya Beads is also a waterproof vibrator, meaning you can take it to shower or bath for an aquatic adventure.
Our experience using LELO Soraya Beads
Using it alone
After playing with anal beads of questionable quality from eBay and the Double Penetrator toy, Soraya Beads is the third iteration of anal beads I had up my butt. And the best one so far.
Inserting the vibrating anal beads felt immensely enjoyable. The first bead slid in my lubed up ass effortlessly, like a warm knife through butter. All the others followed, one by one.
Popping each next bead into my ass felt incredibly satisfying, building on the fullness and sensation.
The vibrations? Interesting. Different.
Usually, I would (or Luka would) thrust the beads in and out. With these beads,, thrusting was not necessary for the whole thing to be pleasurable. I attribute that to Bow Technology
I didn’t exactly feel the vibrations traveling from one bead to another, per se. Rather, I perceived it as if the whole toy was slightly moving to and fro, akin to gentle thrusts.
This in turn allowed me to focus more on pleasuring other parts of my body, namely, my clit and my nipples.
The aforementioned combination of stimulations easily brought me to orgasm. I alternated between playing with my clit and nipples and changing the vibration modes, which was straightforward. The finger loops indeed make usage easier. This ease is partly because they provide support when pressing the buttons, and partly because the buttons are super easy to locate once I orient myself based on the loop’s position.
The vibrations are not super powerful, but to me, them at the right spot was always more important than them being extra strong. Also, I would say the vibrations lean more toward the buzzy side vs the rumbly side.
Out of the 8 vibration modes, I loved those that pulsed in a wave-like motion. The ones that emitted more constant vibrations were not as pleasurable to me.
I found the length to be adequate. For me, the length is not as important as the simultaneous stimulation of the clitoris and nipples. Additionally, in cases where we used the Soraya Beads as a warm-up for anal sex, the 6 inches were sufficient to prepare me for the fuller sensation that was to come.
Additionally, Soraya Beads can be used by all genders, however, unlike the LELO Hugo 2, Luka did not try the beads, only I did.
But if we can judge by my experience (and the curious curve), prostate massage would feel great too.
Using it together
Anal beads are a fun toy for couples, as they’re quite versatile. Much like a great all-spice mix, they can be combined with various other kinds of fun activities.
They can be paired with fingering, cunnilingus, penetration with a toy, penetration with a cock, with nipple stimulation, etc etc etc.

Anal beads can even be tripe paired. Have them in, get fucked by a cock while pleasuring your clitoris with a bullet, or a suction toy.
The list of possibilities is long.
We tried it all – and to be honest, most of the time, Luka inserted the sex toy during foreplay and they would stay in until we both came.
He reported that manipulating the toy during it all was easy. He had the exact same remarks about the loop and the buttons.
