Popular Types of Anal Toys
There are lots of different anal toys out there and they all stimulate the body in slightly different ways. Here is a quick breakdown of the most popular styles.
Anal Vibrators
Anal vibrators are any kind of anal toy that vibrates. It could be beads, plugs or probes. There are thousands of nerve endings inside the anus and vibrating anal toys help to reach a lot of these and provide some great sensation to the area.
Anal Beads
Did you know that the majority of those nerve endings I just talked about are located just inside the opening of the anus? Well, they are and anal beads are designed to stimulate this area specifically as each bead moves inside the body, or when they are removed from the body. These are popular for beginners as they start small and only need to be inserted a short way to get amazing results.
Anal Dildos
Anal dildos offer both a full feeling and can be used for penetration too. They are popular tools for stretching the muscles of the body and mimicking real anal sex. They come in all sorts of sizes so are also great options for beginners as they maintain a fairly similar girth throughout the length of the shaft.
Butt Plugs
Butt plugs are the most popular anal toy in the world and for good reason. They can prepare the body for anal sex but warming up the muscles, but they also create a full feeling of pressure inside the anus which can make other stimulation more intense. They come in all sorts of sizes too so are ideal for any level of experience.
Factors You Should Keep in Mind While Shopping
When looking for an anal toy there are a few things to consider before you dive in. Consider the style you want, which the list above should help you with.
It's also important to consider how you want to use the toy and whether you want to use it alone or with a partner. While most of these toys can be used in any play situation, if you are going to share it you will need a body safe material.
Which brings me to the material. The booty has a lot of bacteria and its god to go for a non-porous material for anal play. This is a material that can be completely sterilized after use. Look out for silicone, glass or metal if you are unsure.

How to Keep Your Toys Clean
Anal toys require a bit of extra care when it comes to cleaning due to the bacteria that naturally occurs inside our booty. Even if it looks clean when you remove it, there will be bacteria lurking so clean it properly. You want to use warm soapy water, or warm water and some anti-bacterial toy cleaner and make sure you really get into any crevices or hard to reach places. Some toys can even be put into the dishwasher to be sterilized but just follow the instructions for your specific toy every time you use it to be safe.
Conclusion
