Anal Toys Advice – How to Use & Care for Anal Toys
Anal sex using anal toys is a safe and healthy way to expand your erotic exploration.
Anal sex toys are used to stimulate the anus, rectum or prostate. It is important to use toys that are designed specifically for anal play as using others may cause you an injury.
If you’re not sure where to start using anal toys, it’s always best to start slowly and maintain good communication with your partner. Tell him or her what feels good and what doesn’t.
Three types:
Anal Beads
These easiest for beginners, especially the “graduated-size” anal beads that start small and get gradually bigger. Cover anal beads with lube and gently insert.
Butt Plugs(Anal plugs):
Are designed to stay in place during sex.
Prostate Massagers/Vibrators (for men):
Wand vibrators shaped like a finger to stimulate the male G-spot. The P-spot, or prostate. Never use a thrusting motion just a slight pressure on either side avoiding the center of the prostate. A good position for this is Reverse Cowgirl (woman on top and facing away from the man) or with your man on his side back with legs bent up.
Anal Toys Advice & Usage Tips
- TAKE IT SLOW
- MASSAGE the anus with a massage oil to relax muscles.
- USE THICK LUBE as the anal area is very delicate and has no natural lubricant. Choose a high-quality sex lube designed specifically for anal use. Or a slight numbing lube and continue adding lubricant during anal play. (Thinner lubes do not remain in place as well).
- SLOWLY INSERT while breathing deeply to relax sphincter muscles.
- Using toys with a flared base is safer as they provide a base or barrier to prevent the whole toy from entering the rectum.
- Make sure your toy is is smooth and seamless to avoid any injury.
- PRACTICE makes perfect.
- It is safest if these toys are used by one person and not shared.
- Many anal toys have a curve designed for prostate stimulation which can also be used for g-spot stimulation.
Cleaning Tips
Bacteria and viruses can lurk on vibrators and toys and infect or re-infect the user.
Clean the toy as per the manufacturers instructions. Cleaning varies depending on the type of material the anal toy is made from. This can range from disinfection to cleaning with soap and water or putting in the dishwasher.
