Anal sex is a very popular practice and using anal sex toys is expected and perfectly normal.  However, the choices in anal sex toys are too many and it is understandable that a novice user who wants to experiment may not know where to start, because of the plethora of options...

But for every beginner, there's Vibrations The Erotic Store and a guide like this one, so choosing an anal sex toy is easy and simple!

The pleasure of anal sexual stimulation

The anal area, contains too many nerve endings and by stimulating it in the right way, pleasure is guaranteed and can even lead to a particularly powerful orgasm!  However, anal sex is not just about anal penetration when it comes to proper stimulation of the area, as stimulating the sphincter with fingers, tongue or even better with a sex toy designed for anal sex will also bring highly pleasurable results! To achieve proper irritation of the area, the main thing is to relax the area, since when we touch the anus, it often twitches, which is a natural reaction of the area.

So, in order to reach pleasure, we will need patience and constant and gentle massage, either with fingers or with a sex toy, so that the anus starts to gradually relax more and more so that it is ready to receive more and more stimulation of the area, resulting in an intense orgasm, as mentioned above.

Using anal sex toys

In order to relax the anus and stimulate the area erotically in the best way, we will need an anal sex toy. So below we will look at some of these anal toys, which are recommended for beginners who want to experience the unique pleasure that anal sex will offer.

Anal Beads

Anal balls or anal beads are an ideal start for anyone who wants to enter the world of backdoor pleasures, as it is a type of toy that is quite beginner-friendly. Specifically, anal balls, are often connected together and have a gradually increasing diameter, allowing for gradual penetration starting with the smallest ball and slowly working up to the largest.

A wise choice is to start by getting a short length set of rectal balls and if you want to take things further, then get longer length and diameter rectal balls. * If you even want extra stimulation, then you can choose anal balls with ridges, but remember that the more ridged they are, the more difficult penetration is.

Usage Tip: If you pull the anal balls out of the anus during orgasm, then it will become even more intense!

Butt Plugs

The best known anal sex toy is none other than a classic butt plug, which has a distinctive design with a thin tip, thicker body and a narrow end and retrieval base. Butt Plugs are available in many designs and sizes, but the guide you are reading is aimed at beginners, so a small wedge is the ideal choice.

Additionally, butt plugs are made from a variety of materials, however to start with we would recommend a silicone made one which has the ability to follow the body's movements for more comfort.

Use Tip: As with the balls, if you pull out the plug at the moment of orgasm, then it becomes more intense.

Anal Dildos or Anal Vibrators

An anal dildo can help you to properly stimulate the anus externally and internally. A typical anal dildo aimed at beginners has a slim design at the tip and an overall diameter of no more than 4cm.

The reason why anal dildos for beginners, have these features is the fact that the anus is a clearly sensitive area and so their design and dimensions ensure a positive penetration experience without any potential injuries or discomfort etc. Now, if you even as a beginner desire a little more stimulation then an anal vibrator is a one way street, as a specially designed anal vibrator, has all the features of an anal dildo and additionally has the possibility of vibration.

Prostate Massager/Vibrator

The prostate gland, also known as the P-Spot, is located between the scrotum and the inner side of the anus and is an area that if stimulated properly, then a man's pleasure is guaranteed and unique! The best way to cause stimulation of the P-Spot, is of course with a prostate vibrator.

All you have to do is lie down with your knees up and make calm and gradual penetration of the prostate vibrator into the anus. At 5 cm depth you will feel that the area is harder. That is exactly where the prostate is...So by applying gradual stimulation, then you will have managed to stimulate the spot and have a unique experience of pleasure.

It is worth noting that almost all prostate vibrators are suitable for beginners and having that as a general rule that their diameter does not exceed 4 to 4.5 cm, you will have made a confident choice for your level of experience!

Lubricant

As it stands to reason, whenever you want to play anal, the use of a lubricant is non-negotiable and essential! The anus is an area that doesn't naturally lubricate and doesn't produce any moisture, so a lube ensures easy penetration with comfort and no discomfort etc.

In our lubricant section you will find specific anal lubricants, and you should take care to avoid using silicone-based lubricants if you are using a silicone sex toy, as they are not compatible. What we recommend is that you choose a water-based lube, so you don't have to worry about using it with condoms and sex aids.

Hygiene

When it comes to enjoying anal sex and erotic stimulation of the area, hygiene is something to look out for. For example, a good cleaning of the area with an anal douche is essential, while the cleanliness of sex toys is paramount.

So when it comes to the cleanliness of our anal sex toys, a special cleaner will take care of the toy and offer protection from odours, fungus and bacteria.
