How To Use An Anal Vibrator?

Anal Vibrators and How to Use Guide

By Elena Ognivtseva

If you've tried and liked anal play with fingers or butt plugs, the next logical step is to progress to an anal vibrator. One of the most important things to consider when it comes to something intended for anal entry is you can't simply use any vibrator. Anal vibrators are specifically designed to be used in rectum play unlike other vibrators. If you try to use a vibrator that was not intended for anal penetration it could become stuck or cause considerable discomfort.

How Do Anal Vibrators Differ?

What distinguishes anal vibes from those that are intended for use vaginally? Anal vibrators usually (but not always) have a flared base which helps to prevent them from being inserted too far into the anal passageway. This base also allows for easy retrieval and can also help to assure that a firm grip is maintained at all times. The tips of anal vibrators are normally tapered or rounded for straightforward, comfortable entry. Most anal vibrators are also bulbous to give you a fuller feeling once inserted. These vibrators are available as vibrating versions of other anal favourites such as anal beads, butt plugs and anal dildos meaning that you can experience all the fun of your anal toys in a vibrating format!

When and How Are Anal Vibrators Used?

Anal vibrators can be used for masturbation purposes (giving you a more intense orgasm) or for foreplay either prior to anal or vaginal sex. When using them before anal sex, they facilitate the relaxing of the muscles at the entrance to the anus which leads to less painful and far easier anal intercourse.

The most important thing to remember when it comes to any sort of anal penetration whether it's with fingers, toys or the penis, is to use a good quality anal lubricant as unlike the vagina, the anus does not produce any of its own naturally occurring lubrication. Silicone based anal lubricants are thicker than water based equivalents therefore more suited to anal penetration. ID Backslide Lubricant (£7.99 for 30ml) is specifically designed with anal pleasures in mind. Its thick, long-lasting formula means that it won't wear off when you need it most plus it's also latex condom compatible and can also be used with sex toys.

Apply a small amount of lubricant to both your anus and your sex toy then lie back or get yourself into a comfortable position on your hands and knees. When you feel ready insert your anal vibrator slowly remembering to stop if you experience any feelings of discomfort. Activate the vibrations before your anal toy is completely inserted or wait until it's in fully. If you're a beginner you may want to start on the lowest vibration settings however if you're more experienced you may choose for a higher speed setting from the outset.

Anal Vibrators and Anal Kits for Beginners

If you haven't experienced anal vibrators before, Anal Blue (£14.99) is a great place to start because of its soft jelly coating, tapered end, easy grip flared base, small size (insertable length: 3.5 inches) and adjustable speed settings. If you want to start small and work your way up to larger anal vibrators when you feel more confident then Julie Ashton's Anal Beginners Kit (£29.97) is recommended. Consisting of 3 different sized anal plugs and an 8 inch long anal vibrator as well as a sample sized lubricant, this kit allows you to progress from novice to anal expert at a pace that you feel comfortable with.

Anal Vibrators for Experienced Users

If you want to take your anal vibrator experience to the next level, the 10 Function Risque Anal Probe (£29.95) combines escalation, vibration and pulsation settings for incredibly stimulating anal pleasures. If you're looking for something larger, the Toy Joy 7 Vibrating Butt Plug (£17.99) combines multispeed vibrations with a 7 inch long beaded stem. A suction cup base turns it into a hands free sex toy.

Top Tip: After you have finished using your anal vibrator, ensure that you use an anti-bacterial sex toy cleaner to remove all trace of potentially harmful germs from you toy. This is especially important after using anal sex toys given the amount of bacteria that the anus contains.
