How to Choose the Perfect Anal Sex Toy
If you're looking to experiment with new kinds of pleasure, anal sex toys could be just what you're looking for. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you’ll give your intimate life an electrifying boost by purchasing a new toy for your anal area. Read on to find out the most important factors to take into account when purchasing a new anal toy.
Don't forget to always respect your own boundaries, or if you’re with a partner, their boundaries as well. Communication is key when it comes to partner play. Always use a suitable anal lubricant and to follow the instructions in your toy’s user’s manual.
The perfect anal toy for beginners
If you want to enjoy the pleasures of anal play with complete peace of mind, you should take a cautious approach. Be gentle, give yourself time to learn and don't rush things. There are tons of models specially designed for beginners. Here's everything you need to know about anal toys for beginners:
- Material and texture: Choose a silicone anal toy to start with. This soft, silky material makes it easier to insert for a more comfortable anal experience.
- Design: A conical shape allows for gradual insertion. This will allow you to get used to the new sensations in a gentle way.
- Diameter: We recommend that you choose a toy with a diameter of no more than 1.00 inch. Above all, don't rush things, as you could injure yourself or experience discomfort. If you’d like, you can increase the size of your anal toy over time, as your level of experience increases.
A small butt plug
The main advantage of an anal plug is that it stays perfectly in place once inserted, making it ideal for beginners. You can wear your plug during sex, or else you can just wear it as you go about your day to get used to the sensations. Opt for a small model with a flared base for safety’s sake.
A small anal dildo
You can also go for a small anal dildo with a tapered end if you’d like to control the pleasure yourself. Choose a dildo with a suction-cup base to experiment with hands-free fun. That way, you can control the rhythm of your movements and the depth of penetration.

An anal hook
Communication, trust, and consent are essential ingredients in enjoying these kinds of intense experiences. Check that you’re not crossing your partner’s boundaries every step of the way.
Anal lubricant: an essential ingredient
- Slipperiness: Unlike the vagina, the anus does not lubricate itself. Anal lubricants are therefore more slippery than conventional lubricants, helping to prevent irritation during anal penetration.
- Thicker consistency and longer-lasting glide: Anal lubes are thicker than regular lubes, so you won’t have to reapply as often during sex. That means you can just concentrate on pleasuring yourself and your partner!.
- Compatibility: Not all lubes are compatible with certain sex toys. Do not use silicone-based lubricants with silicone sex toys, as this may damage your toy. A water-based or hybrid lubricant will work perfectly in this case.
