FAQ - Anal Sex Toys

The best anal toys for beginners are small, smooth, and made from body-safe materials like silicone. Toys with tapered tips and flared bases are ideal for easy insertion and safety. Anal training kits with gradually increasing sizes are especially helpful for building confidence at your own pace. Always pair your toy with water-based lubricant and go slow.

Butt plugs are usually designed to stay in place and provide a feeling of fullness. Anal beads, on the other hand, are often used dynamically—inserted and slowly removed during orgasm for heightened sensation. Both toys stimulate differently and can be enjoyed together or separately depending on your preference.

Yes, many prostate massagers are designed with beginners in mind. They usually feature slimmer, curved designs to gently target the prostate, also known as the P-spot. Stimulation of this area can result in powerful orgasms for people with prostates. Beginners should start with smaller, softer models and use plenty of water-based lube.

Most anal toys can be cleaned with warm water and mild antibacterial soap, or with a toy-safe cleaner. Non-porous toys made from silicone, stainless steel, or glass can even be boiled (if non-electric) for deep cleaning. Always ensure your toy is completely dry before storing it. Proper cleaning helps prevent infections and keeps your toy in good condition.

Always. The anus does not produce natural lubrication, so using heaps of lube is essential for safety and comfort during anal play. A thick, water-based lubricant is best, especially for longer sessions or with larger toys. While silicone-based lubricants offer long-lasting, non-drying lubrication, use carefully as it can potentially damage the toy’s surface.

For beginners, start with something small and easy to insert—typically 1 inch or less in diameter. As you grow more comfortable, you can gradually size up using an anal training kit. Always go at your own pace and listen to your body for the best (and safest) experience.
