What Are Anal Sex Toys?
Made to tickle and delight, anal sex toys stimulate the nerve endings in, you guessed it, your anus!
For penis owners, prostate massagers are designed to hit the p spot, packing a real punch of pleasure. And for the vulva owners, bum toys can tease the anterior fornix erogenous zone, better known as the ‘A-spot’, located inside the vagina in between the cervix and the bladder.
They’re generally all made from smart, non-porous materials like medical-grade silicone, glass, or stainless steel, making them trusty and safe. If used in the right way, they can turn your solo or partnered session into a fireworks show, leading to that elusive orgasm.
Not all sex toys, however, are created equal. Butt toys normally have a defined base to prevent them from going rogue. It’s important not to use them through the back door if they’re designed for vaginal play. Seriously, trust us on that one.
Be sure to invest in quality gear, such as a butt plug set or the B-Vibe Anal Dilators Set, for some top notch anal training. Many enjoy these for solo fun, foreplay with a partner and even for use with a strap on.
Types Of Anal Sex Toys
There are a lot of different anal sex toys, all body safe and designed to stimulate in different ways. Here's a guide to some popular types:
Anal beads—strings of gradually increasing beads create waves of pleasure when inserted and then taken out. Great for beginners as well as pros.
Butt plugs: the most popular anal sex toy
There are loads of different butt plugs out there, albeit made for a similar purpose.
Jewel plugs add some sparkle to your fun. Butt Plug sets have different sizes for gradual progression (perfect for anal training). Tail butt plugs add a playful finish, turning you into a fox or bunny, or anything in between. Vibrating plugs bring extra buzz. And last but not least, inflatable butt plugs allow you to start small and build up to bigger sizes once inserted.
As mentioned earlier, they come in different materials like silicone, metal and glass, which all give off different feelings.
Back to the topic at hand, let’s move onto prostate massagers. Created for men to vibrate and stimulate the prostate gland, where the famous ‘p spot’ is located. Many call it the male G-spot, and stimulation can result in intense, full-body orgasms.
Next up, anal probes. They’re flexible, usually tapered, and can be manipulated to various depths and angles. They will work best for those trying new adventures and want to experiment more deeply.
Last but not least, let’s talk about dildos. Not all dildos are for vaginal use. Anal penetration toys are specifically designed to be utilized in anal play safely and with comfort. They come in many shapes, sizes, and are available with suction cups to enable hands-free play. If you can handle it, check out our huge dildos – not for the feint hearted!
A Beginner’s Guide On How To Use Anal Sex Toys
Anal sex toys might look and sound daunting at first. But not to worry, we’ve got you. Have a look at this short guide to help get started.
First things first: start slow. For beginners, it's best to use smaller toys that have really smooth surfaces. As you get more comfortable and experienced, you can gradually move on to larger sizes and different textures. Investing in a good butt plug kit will go a long way here.
A serious rule: no getting stuck! Even though most do already, be sure to choose toys with flared bases to avoid any painful injuries. Besides, we’re sure you wouldn’t want any embarrassing visits to A&E! Believe us on that one! Next, being relaxed is key. Take your time and get comfortable. A warm bath, some deep breathing and some chilled-out music can all help relax those muscles. Remember, tension isn’t welcome here!
Another thing we can’t stress enough – hygiene is a must. Always clean your toys before and after each use with warm water and mild soap, or to clean with confidence, check out our sex toy cleaners. Consider using condoms alongside your toys for extra cleanliness, especially if you're sharing with a partner.
On that note, communication is essential. Before you begin to play, discuss the limits and preferences. That way, both of you will be on the same page, which again, will make the experience more joyful for both. Also look out for body cues. If it looks like your partner isn’t enjoying it, make sure to stop!
Lastly, try out different techniques. Various positions, movements, and stimulation types might make all the difference. Experiment to find out what works for you. Don’t forget, special lube is necessary for all these toys. Made thicker and more long-lasting than regular lube, it creates less friction in order to ensure that playtime goes on smoothly and be safe.
Important Tips For Anal Sex Toys
Before you dive in at the deep end, be sure to do your homework and don’t go in all guns blazing! These are our top tips:
Start small: Begin with smaller toys and gradually increase the size if desired. The rectum can handle large objects, but you need to take it slow to avoid injuries.
Use lube: The anus doesn’t self-lubricate, so lube is essential. Without it, you risk discomfort and potential tearing.
Choose safe materials: Choose toys made from non-toxic, non-porous materials like silicone, glass, stainless steel, or coated wood. These are easier to clean and won’t harbor bacteria.
Look for smooth textures: Opt for toys that are textured, not rough or sharp. Anything too abrasive can tear the delicate lining of your rectum (also not fun).
Flared base: Always choose toys with a flared or wide base. The anal sphincter is strong and can easily suck in anything not properly designed. Otherwise, you might need a doctor's help to retrieve it (definitely not fun).
