Anal Dildos

An anal dildo differs in three key ways from a regular dildo:

1. 1Wide, flared base — Prevents the toy from being fully inserted. The rectum has no natural stop, so a flared base is mandatory for safe anal use
2. 2Tapered tip — Gradually tapers for comfortable insertion
3. 3Often narrower — Especially beginner models

Never use a regular dildo without a flared base for anal use.

Safety and comfort are paramount:

1. 1Always use generous amounts of water-based lubricant — the anal canal does not self-lubricate
2. 2Start with a small size and work up gradually
3. 3Relax — tension makes insertion harder
4. 4Insert very slowly and give your body time to adjust
5. 5Stop if it hurts — pain signals you are going too fast or need more lubricant

For beginners, start with a diameter of 1.5-2.5 cm and an insertable length of 8-10 cm. Choose a smooth, tapered shape. Always use generous lubricant and take your time.

Hygiene is extra important for anal toys. Clean thoroughly before and after each use with warm water and soap or toy cleaner. Silicone dildos can be sterilised by boiling. Never use an anal dildo vaginally after anal use without full cleaning.
