How to Use Anal Sex Toys Correctly?

Written by: Bestvibe Published on August 07,2025

Preface

When it comes to anal sex toys, many people may be curious, especially those new to adult toys, and often ask: How do you use this? Does it hurt? Is it hygienic? Should you practise first?

This article will discuss the basics of anal sex toys in a relaxed manner, without needing you to be overly serious or knowledgeable. We’ll chat like friends about how to get started, how to use them, which ones to choose, and what to watch out for, making it easy for you to get started.

Anal Sex Toys

What exactly are anal sex toys?

Simply put, they are adult products designed to stimulate the anus and prostate, primarily to enhance pleasure.

Common types include:

  • • Anal plugs: The most basic type, resembling a small cone-shaped plug that provides a sense of fullness when inserted;
  • • Bead chains: Resembling a string of beads that can be pulled in and out, providing rhythmic stimulation;  
  • Prostate massagers: Specifically designed for men, they stimulate the prostate, and some people find them more pleasurable than ejaculation;
  • Anal plug with a tail: Provides both visual and psychological stimulation; some people enjoy the feeling of being controlled;• Electric vibrating model: Vibrates when inserted; those seeking intense stimulation may consider this option.

Regardless of the type, the principle is similar—stimulating the anal sphincter or prostate to induce pleasure.

For men, this stimulation may even lead to orgasm; for women, it primarily provides psychological stimulation and a novel experience from the sensation of a foreign object.

What will it feel like the first time?

The first time, it can be a bit awkward and uncomfortable.

You might feel like you need to go to the toilet, or experience some bloating, pain, or even fear. Don’t panic—these are all normal reactions. The key lies in two things: lubrication and relaxation.

If you can’t relax, it’s easy to get stuck, feel pain, or fail.

So here’s some advice:

  • Don’t use something too big the first time;
  • Use water-based lubricant, and the more the better;
  • Try using your fingers to get used to it first, then move on to the toy;
  • Take it slow—don’t rush it all the way in at once.

Of course, if you try it and it’s not your thing, that’s okay too. Don’t force yourself. When it comes to sex, having fun is the most important thing.

Which ones are best for beginners?

Here are a few anal toys suitable for beginners, categorised by type for your reference:

Manual anal plugs

These are best for beginners, as they are simple, safe, and come in a variety of sizes. Many sets include three sizes, so start with the smallest one and upgrade once you get used to it.

Anal Sex Toys

Made of skin-friendly silicone, they have some weight to them, feel good in the hand, and are not too stimulating but also not too mild.

Electric vibrating anal plugs

For those seeking a ‘stimulation upgrade,’ this is worth trying. It comes with a remote control, allowing you to wear it out for ‘couple's play,’ vibrating while walking without needing to touch it.

Especially when you and your partner go out on a date, this toy can create plenty of ‘secret fun.’

Prostate massager (for men only)

This device is specifically designed for the prostate. Some models feature a curved hook design for precise targeting, while higher-end versions offer multiple vibration modes and automatic thrusting—the comfort is almost exaggerated.

Some models also include a penis ring to extend duration and enhance firmness, offering multiple benefits in one.

Important notes to remember

Play is fun, but safety comes first. Keep the following points in mind:

Cleanliness is key

The anus has a lot of bacteria, so toys should be washed before and after use. It's best to use a special cleaning solution for sex toys, but if you don't have one, warm water and mild soap will do.

You can also put a small condom on the toy before use for extra hygiene.

Anal Sex Toys

Lubrication is essential

The anus does not produce its own lubrication, so inserting a toy without lubrication will cause pain. Water-based lubricants are the safest and won’t damage the material. Don’t use saliva as a shortcut—it’s not recommended.

Don’t go too big

Start small and gradually work your way up. Don’t rush into larger sizes or upgraded models.

Too big can cause injury, and too small won’t provide any sensation. The key is to find the right size.

Anal Sex Toys

Don’t use it for too long

While some people enjoy leaving it inserted for extended periods, even wearing it out in public, prolonged use can cause discomfort and may affect sphincter function.

It is recommended to limit use to 30 minutes or less, clean thoroughly after use, and take a break.

Stop if you feel unwell

If you experience pain, bleeding, unusual discharge, or severe discomfort, stop immediately and do not persist. Toys are meant to provide pleasure, not to test how much you can endure.

Anal Sex Toys

In summary

Anal sex toys are simply a way to spice up your sex life and explore your body. 

They are neither mysterious nor strange. As long as you use them correctly and choose the right products, they can provide a very pleasant experience.

Beginners should start with small, manual models and slowly get used to them. Lubrication and hygiene are essential.

Don't pursue intense pleasure all at once. When it comes to sex, comfort is more important than anything else.
