What Makes a Toy Anal-Safe?
Anal sex toys differ from vaginal toys in one critical way: they must have a flared base, handle, or retrieval cord. The anus naturally draws objects inward, so toys without wide bases can become lost internally – a genuine medical emergency.
Every anal toy in our collection features safe designs: butt plugs with wide bases, anal beads with retrieval loops, and dildos with flared ends. We also prioritize seamless construction and body-safe materials (silicone, glass, stainless steel) for easy cleaning and comfortable wear.
Types of Anal Sex Toys
Butt Plugs: The most popular anal toys! Butt plugs feature tapered tips for easy insertion and wide bases to stay in place during wear. Use them for hands-free stimulation, warm-up before penetrative play, or prolonged fullness. From tiny beginner plugs to advanced sizes.
Anal Beads: Graduated spheres on a cord or flexible shaft offer incremental pleasure. Anal beads provide unique sensations during insertion and – especially – during removal. Perfect for beginners exploring anal play.
Anal Dildos: Designed for thrusting penetration with slim profiles, tapered tips, and flared bases. Anal dildos come in beginner-friendly thin sizes or advanced textured options. Many feature curves for prostate or internal stimulation.
Anal Vibrators: Vibrating butt plugs, anal beads, or prostate massagers add oscillating pleasure to anal stimulation. Perfect for those who love vibration.
Prostate Massagers: Specially curved anal toys targeting the P-spot (prostate) for intense male orgasms. Also enjoyed by some women for unique anal sensations.
Anal Sex Toys for Women vs Men
Women's anal toys typically focus on comfortable, sensual backdoor pleasure – butt plugs for fullness, beads for exploration, or slim dildos for gentle penetration. Many female anal toys double as accessories during vaginal play or partnered sex.
Men's anal toys often emphasize prostate stimulation (P-spot orgasms), with curved massagers and vibrating plugs. However, most anal toys work beautifully for all bodies regardless of gender! Choose based on size, shape, and features rather than marketing labels.
How to Use Anal Toys Safely
Always Use Lube: The anus doesn't self-lubricate. Apply generous anal lubricant – water-based or silicone – to both toy and body. More is always better!
Start Small: Begin with slim toys (under 1 inch diameter) and progress gradually. You can always size up later.
Go Slow: Never rush anal play. Relax, breathe, and insert gradually. Let your body adjust at each stage.
Check the Base: Verify every anal toy has a flared base, handle, or retrieval loop. This is non-negotiable for safety.
Clean Thoroughly: Wash anal toys with warm water and toy cleaner before and after every use. Store in a clean, dry place.

Anal Pleasures
Packed with highly sensitive nerve endings, the anus becomes even more responsive when aroused and pulses with pleasure during orgasm.
Beyond being a hot-spot in itself, anal play stimulates specific erogenous zones in male & female bodies.
FEMALE BODIES: Internal membranes are thin - anal penetration can stimulate your clitoris, the G-Spot and the A-Spot.
MALE BODY: Your prostate is capable of delivering mind-blowing male orgasms.
Anal Toys FAQ's
All our anal toys are body-friendly and safe when used as intended. Each plug, dildo or string of beads has a flared base or a wide handle, ensuring that they won't get sucked up into the butt accidentally. Start small, use anal lubricant, and don't rush it. Anal play & pleasure is a marathon, not a sprint!
Choose anal lube according to the material of your anal toy. If your toy is made from silicone, we recommend a viscous water-based lube like Sh! Pure Plus. If your anal sex toy is glass or metal, you can choose a thick water-based or slippery silicone-based lube depending upon what type you like best.
An anal sex toy should be all pleasure and no pain. A butt plug offers fullness, a string of beads offers sensual, repeated opening & closing of the sphincters, and an anal dildo delivers smooth in-and-out strokes. All genders can enjoy playing with anal sex toys, but they're especially pleasurable for folks with a P-spot (prostate). Make sure to use plenty of anal lube, and take your time.
Impeccable hygiene is essential when it comes to anal sex toys, but thankfully, the toys we stock are easy to clean. Spray the anal beads, plug or dildo with Sh! sex toy cleaner and rinse off with warm water, or wash with antibacterial hand wash and warm water. Always leave the toys to air dry before storing them in a fluff-free place. For super-easy cleaning, use condoms with your anal sex toys.
Start with a small butt plug (under 1 inch diameter) or slim anal beads. These gentle toys introduce you to anal sensations without overwhelming size or intensity. Look for smooth silicone, tapered tips, and easy-grip bases. Our beginner-friendly options include detailed sizing guides and usage instructions.
Absolutely! Anal pleasure is for all genders. Many women enjoy anal toys for unique sensations, enhanced orgasms during partnered sex, or exploring their full pleasure potential. Female anal toys work beautifully for vulva owners – the nerve-rich anal area responds to stimulation regardless of gender. Body-safe toys with plenty of lube make anal play comfortable and pleasurable.
Butt plugs are designed to stay in place during wear (hands-free stimulation or warm-up). Anal dildos are designed for in-and-out thrusting penetration. Plugs have wide bases and narrower necks that "lock" them in position. Dildos have consistent shafts for active movement. Many people use both: plugs for prolonged wear, dildos for penetrative play.
Absolutely! Anal toys enhance partnered sex beautifully. Wear a butt plug during penetrative vaginal sex for extra fullness, use anal beads during oral play, or explore mutual anal pleasure together. Communicate openly with your partner about comfort levels, boundaries, and desires. Many couples find anal toys add exciting new dimensions to their intimacy.
This is why flared bases are non-negotiable! Properly designed anal toys with wide bases cannot get stuck. If a toy does slip inside (from using an unsafe toy), stay calm, relax your muscles, and try bearing down gently. If you cannot retrieve it within a few minutes, seek immediate medical attention. Emergency room staff see this regularly – don't delay seeking help.
Silicone is most popular: flexible, body-safe, and easy to clean. Glass and stainless steel offer firm, smooth, temperature-play options (warm or chill before use!). Avoid jelly, rubber, or porous materials – they harbor bacteria and can't be fully sanitized. All our anal toys are body-safe, non-porous materials designed for safe backdoor pleasure.
