Anal Sex Toy Shopping

Picking out your first anal sex toys can be very overwhelming, there's so many out there and they look so strange, how can you possibly decide on one? Well, that's why we've included this article, to help those who have never used an anal toy before find one that's right for them. But even if you've already used an anal toy then you can use this guide to pick out a new anal toy. So here are some questions to ask yourself to help you sort through all this info.

Do you desire the feeling of penetration or to be thrusted anally?
When we talk about penetration only a few kinds of toys apply here. So in looking at this question, you must also decide if you want smooth penetration or rippled penetration. A pear shaped butt plug, like the Pink Jelly Butt Plug, is the toy that will give you smooth penetration. This style is designed for complete insertion in which your anal muscles tighten and contract around the plug, holding it in.

A new style of dual purpose butt plug that is recieving rave reviews is the Purple Anal Plug. It's exclusive curved shape offers two sensations: for men, this butt plug is designed to massage the prostate whereas for women, it can have an extremely arousing effect on the G-Spot when used vaginally. The real clincher: it comes with a 1 oz. bottle of Doc's Anal Lube. This style of plug gets inserted all at once.

However, for the smoothest insertion available, you can't beat a Glass Butt Plug. Not only is it smooth, but it's the most sanitary anal toy you can own and the only sex toy that is sanctioned by medical professionals. This anal toy, as with all other glass sex toys, can be thrown in the dishwasher or boiled for complete sterilization. Glass sex toys warm to body temperature nicely and as the anal sex toy has some weight to it, you feel like you're being penetrated by something substantial.

You may also want the rippled butt plug, like the Triple Ripple Butt Plug, that have different size ridges or ribs, from small to large, and gets inserted one rib at a time. Anal Beads also offer the sensation of your muscles tightening and contracting around each bead, the beads can be all the same size or can gradually get larger.

If you want to be penetrated and thrusted, a dildo with testicles would be best because the testicles will act as its flared based, so it does not get sucked into your rectum. Just make sure you do a little measuring first to see what size dildo you would be comfortable for thrusting in and out of your anus. The rectum can accommodate thick sex toys, you just have to make sure you gradually work your anus up to that point, so if this is your first anal toy, you may want to start with a butt plug then move up to an anal probe or dildo.

Do you want your toys to vibrate?
Vibrations around the anus can be just as stimulating as vibrations on the testicles or clitoris. These vibrations can also relax your muscles, allowing for your play to go further. Electric Vibes have attachments available for anal penetration. Actually all the attachments for the Wand Vibrators can be used for anal penetration. Vibrating dildos can also add the vibrations while being anally penetrated and thrusted. Although not as common as traditional or vaginal vibrators, special vibrators are made for anal play and can be inserted.

What material do you want?
Vinyl is not flexible, but very smooth and nonporous so it's easy to clean. Jelly rubber has a fun carbonated appearance and jelly sex toys tend to be soft and flexible, but like rubber latex sex toys, are porous. There are now jelly butt plugs available with fruity scents. Rubber anal sex toys also exist, but as they are very porous, they can harbor bacteria if you do not use a condom to cover them during anal or vaginal masturbation. Silicone is firm yet flexible, with a very smooth texture and unlike rubber sex toys, silicone is nonporous. If you're concerned with sterility, a glass sex toy would be the best investment for you.

What size should I get?
Every anal toy is available in a variety of sizes. A good way to find out is to measure how many fingers you can fit comfortably in your anus. Most people feel that their first plug or insertion toy should be really slim, but that's not necessarily true. Some complain about the slim butt plugs slipping out prematurely or the slim ones being too slim.

Are you on a budget?
Just like most toys, the material and the features are what makes it expensive or inexpensive. Most anal toys are rather inexpensive. If you're looking for an inexpensive sex toy, jelly rubber, latex rubber and vinyl sex toys tend to be less expensive than silicone or glass sex toys. Also, keep in mind that vibrating anal toys will be more expensive than a simple anal plug or anal dildo.
