How to choose anal toys

Anal toys should always be chosen with safety, comfort and control in mind. Look for a secure flared base or safe retrieval design, check measurements carefully and start smaller if you are unsure. Girth is often more important than length, especially for beginners.

If you are new to anal play, start with beginners butt plugs or smaller anal beads. Experienced users may want to compare large anal toys, prostate massagers or anal vibrators.

Use a generous amount of compatible anal lubricant, take your time and stop if anything feels painful, numb or uncomfortable. Clean toys before and after use with a suitable sex toy cleaner.
