• 6 Types of Anal Sex Toys

  1. Anal beads: Anal beads are spheres—typically made with silicone, glass, or stainless steel—joined together along a cord, usually with a loop at the end for easy retrieval. Anal beads are designed to stimulate your nerves upon removal. For optimal use, try pulling them out right as you climax. For beginners, anal beads are a great introduction to anal play. Remember to apply a generous amount of lubrication before every use, and reapply regularly.
  
  2. Butt plugs: Anal plugs are designed to be inserted into the anus and remain there during sexual activity. In order to make insertion easier, butt plugs are narrow at the tip and wider in the middle. The end of the plug typically has a slimmer neck followed by a flared base for safety. Butt plugs can be smooth or textured, and some vibrate for extra stimulation. The highest-quality plugs are usually made with a non-porous material, like silicone or stainless steel. If you are curious to try anal sex with your partner, butt plugs are a way to get your sphincter muscles used to the sensation. Consider anal training kits, which include several plugs of varying sizes.
  
  3. Anal dildos: Anal dildos stimulate the erogenous zones inside your anal cavity. Anal dildos typically have a slight curve and a wider base, and some are designed to be attached to a harness and used for pegging. For vulva owners, anal dildos can create the sensation of double penetration during intercourse. Consider starting with a smaller sex toy like anal beads before moving up to dildos.
  
  4. Prostate massagers: A prostate massager stimulates the prostate gland, which is a walnut-sized organ that rests under the bladder and above the base of the penis. Prostate massagers usually have smooth, rounded tips for easy insertion. Most are curved in order to press against the part of the rectum that rests against the prostate, also known as the P-spot. Some prostate massagers include a vibration mode. Others are designed with an external component that presses against the perineum, the area between the anus and scrotum, providing additional stimulation to your prostate from the outside.
  
  5. Inflatable anal toys: Inflatable anal toys are similar to butt plugs, but they include a hand pump. Once the plug is inserted, you can gently pump it for a fuller sensation. Inflatable anal toys allow you to safely stretch your anus to a desirable level. If the toy feels too intense or large, you can quickly deflate and remove it.
  
  6. Anal hooks: Typically used in BDSM play, anal hooks are curved metal rods, usually in the shape of a J. They often have a ball on the shorter curved side for anal insertion and a ring on the opposite side for attachment to a rope. Anal hooks, similar to some other BDSM toys, are designed to hold the wearer in a submissive position.

  
  

• The benefits of using anal toys

  Pleasure and Sexual Exploration: For many people, anal stimulation can be a source of pleasure and excitement. Anal toys can provide a unique and intense sensation that some individuals find enjoyable and satisfying.
  
  Enhanced Orgasms: The anal area contains numerous nerve endings, and stimulating this region can lead to intensified orgasms and heightened sexual experiences.
  
  Prostate Stimulation: For individuals with prostates, specific anal toys, such as prostate massagers, can provide targeted stimulation to the prostate gland. This can lead to pleasurable sensations and, for some, even prostate orgasms.
  
  Relaxation and Comfort: Regular use of anal toys in a gentle and gradual manner can help relax the anal muscles over time. This can be particularly beneficial for those who experience discomfort during anal penetration or activities like anal sex.
  
  Improved Anal Health: Anal toys can potentially promote better anal health by increasing blood flow to the area and encouraging the muscles to become more flexible. This can reduce the risk of hemorrhoids and other anal issues.
  
  Couples Intimacy: For couples, incorporating anal toys into their intimate activities can enhance their sexual repertoire and deepen emotional intimacy and trust.
  
  Solo Exploration: Anal toys can be a part of self-exploration and self-pleasure, allowing individuals to better understand their bodies and sexual preferences.
  
  However, it's essential to approach anal play with caution and proper preparation to ensure safety and comfort. Some tips for safe anal play include:
  Start Slowly: If you're new to anal play, begin with smaller toys and gradually work your way up to larger sizes.
  Lubrication: Always use plenty of water-based lubricant to reduce friction and enhance comfort during use.
  Hygiene: Clean the toys thoroughly before and after each use, and practice good hygiene to prevent the spread of bacteria.
  Communication: If you're engaging in anal play with a partner, open communication and consent are crucial to ensure a positive experience for both parties.
  Lastly, not everyone may find anal play pleasurable, and that's entirely normal. It's essential to respect your own comfort levels and boundaries when exploring any kind of sexual activity. If you're unsure or have concerns, consider consulting a healthcare professional or a sex educator for guidance.

• FAQ

• ①What lube should I use for my anal toys?

  Lube that goes well with most anal toys: water-based lube
  A water-based lubricant that’s free of stinging chemicals like parabens and glycerin is always a great go-to. It’s compatible with all types of toy materials, and totally safe since, after all, our bodies are 96% water.
  
  Lube for firm anal toys: silicone lube
  Although not compatible with silicone toys, silicone lube is another great choice for anal sex with a partner or a glass, metal, or wood toy. Silicone lubricant is extra slick and doesn’t dry out as quickly as water-based lube, so it works well for first-timers.

• ②How do I clean my butt and my anal toys?

  Before using anal toys, you can clean your butt with douches or enemas. Regular antibacterial soap and warm water works just fine if that’s all you’ve got on hand, but if you really want a squeaky-clean anal toy – and who doesn’t? – we recommend a specialty toy cleaner. Spray some on your toy, give it a thorough wipe-down with a warm wash rag, and then dry it off with a clean towel before stashing it in a cool, dry place until your next booty romp.

• ③Can I share my anal toys?

  Whilst sharing with your partner (or friend) might seem like caring, this isn’t necessarily true when it comes to sex toys, and particularly for anal. Bacteria like E.coli, parasites, and STIs can easily be transmitted from one person to another when sharing toys. And that’s okay if you and your partner are clean and in a monogamous relationship, or your toy is made of silicone. We still recommend using a fresh condom when sharing anal toys because there’s always a risk.

• ④How should I choose materials for my anal toys?

  The ONLY soft or bendable material that is fully body-safe for butt play or penetration in general is silicone. Stay away from phthalates! Cheap anal toys that are soft often contain phthalates — a chemical that’s believed to have adverse effects on the reproductive system. It is used to soften the plastic in sex toys and can make a sex toy porous. Anal toys containing phthalates will usually have a plastic scent, so it’s important to read the packaging and pay attention to the safety icons, or ask the store’s staff.
