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.

Now that you know what is out there, let's take a look at some of the best anal toys of the year and why they are so popular.

1. Best Anal Vibrator: Lovehoney Smooth Mover Beaded Anal Vibrator

It is also completely waterproof so you can use it in the bath or shower. And it vibrates! There are 3 different speeds and 7 different vibration patterns to explore.
