Anal Toys

As with all anal play, it is essential to use adequate lubrication when inserting anything into the anus. Unlike the vagina, the anus is not naturally lubricated. A thick, water-based or pure silicone lubricant is ideal. We offer a range of anal lubricants specifically formulated for anal play. Anal play can be enjoyed by both men and women as the anus is the closest erogenous zone to our genitals and contains more nerve endings than any other part of the body, excpet the clitoris. For men the anus is the gateway to the prostate gland which is directly linked to the nerve endings that trigger the male orgasm.

There are a multitude of anal toys available on the market from anal beads to butt plugs. Anal beads have been used for hundreds of years to intensify your orgasm. Inserted into the rectum prior to intercourse, these are pulled out at the point of orgasm. The beads are attached to a string or cord and vary in size and quantity. Use anal beads to introduce anal play into your lovemaking.

Anal plugs or butt plugs are designed to be inserted into the anus and are left in place during intercourse or masturbation. These vary greatly in size, shape, style and colour and are available in vibrating or non vibrating varieties. If you are looking for a vibrating butt plug, we recommend the I-Plug. Some anal plugs can be inflated during anal play and then deflated afterwards prior to removal. Normal vibrators can be used for anal play, but some will be too large, especially for an anal novice. Use a thinner toy when starting out. We recommend the anal beginners kit. This kit is our top choice for a gentle introduction into anal play and includes small, medium and large butt plugs, vibrator and anal lube. All good plugs have a narrow neck and a flange base ensuring that the sphincter muscle sits around the base and the plug will not be 'lost' inside the anus. When introducing anal toys, it is best to start small as the anus and rectum are made from very sensitive and fragile tissues which can tear easily. Inserting long, straight and/or hard toys up there can be potentially very dangerous and should be avoided.

Try using a double penetrator if you enjoy simultaneous vaginal and anal stimulation.

Always wash anal toys thoroughly after use. We recommend using a toy cleaner that provides anti-bacterial protection and consider using an anal douche. Don't mix vaginal and anal play as it is easy to transfer bacteria from one to the other. Stop immediately if you experience any discomfort as the anus can be very sensitive. We recomend using condoms during anal sex to avoid passing STDs. NEVER insert anything into the vagina or mouth that has been used for any sort of anal play (including fingers, the penis or sex toys). Start off with gentle massage on the area outside the anus before any insertion or penetration is attempted. Remember that the rectum is curved. Try different positions and angles to see which is the most comfortable and pleasurable. Relax, go slowly, be gentle and start small.
