Anal toys are made for safe, comfortable play with the rear. The area has many nerve endings and can be very pleasurable, but it has no natural lubrication and needs the right toys and some patience.

What to look for

Always choose a toy with a flared base so it cannot slip inside. Butt plugs sit in place and come in graduated sizes. Anal beads are strung in a row and are pulled out slowly for a rolling sensation. Prostate massagers have an angle made to reach the prostate. Silicone and glass are the most body-safe materials.

Getting started

Go slowly, use plenty of lubricant, and begin with a small size. A silicone toy needs a water-based lubricant. If you are unsure where to start, our consultants can point you to a good first set.
