Around 37% of women say they like to have anal sex with an opposite-sex partner. Outside of that, there are many people (both women and men!) who like anal stimulation for solo, partner, or group play.
Anal stimulation can be daunting to try though, especially if you’ve never done it before. But it can be pleasurable if you do it right!
And you don’t always have to do it by hand either. Many people like to use an anal toy, such as a vibrator for extra fun.
Read on to find out how you can use an anal vibrator safely!
Use a Vibrator That’s Made for Anal Play
First of all, you can’t just pick up a normal vibrator to use. Anal vibrators are shaped differently for a reason: so they don’t get stuck!
The muscles in your anus can actually pull a toy up, which can result in an embarrassing trip to the emergency room to get it out. Anal vibrators and dildos are made with big flares to prevent that from happening, so make sure to pick those!
Use Lubrication
The tissues in your rectum are very delicate. And whether you’re female or male, the anus doesn’t self-lubricate like the vagina does. So you need to use plenty of lubrication to ensure you don’t hurt yourself!
Make sure to use plenty of lubrication, but use the right type. If your vibrator’s made of silicone, then always use water-based lubricants. Otherwise, the lube can break down the material. You can use any other lubricants if your anal vibrator is made of non-porous material, such as metal or glass.
Go Slow and Start Small
If you only started being sexually active or are new to anal play, then you don’t want to bite off more than you can chew, so to speak. Otherwise, you’ll have a negative experience.
When looking at anal toys, go with the smallest possible, or get a set for your pleasure chest so you can work your way up. When you feel comfortable with the toy in you, you can then turn on the vibrating feature.
If it’s too much for you, then switch off the vibrator and use it as a dildo. You can also experiment with the different settings to see what you like.
Clean Your Toy
After you’ve had a big orgasm, you probably want to lie back and bask in the afterglow. But don’t forget to wash your toys thoroughly!
First, rinse it off. Then, wash it with some gentle soap and warm water. Dry the toy off before storing it.
Have Fun With Your Anal Vibrator
Now that you know how to use an anal vibrator safely, you’ll be able to have fun without worry. You should pick up anal-specific toys, use plenty of lube, start small, go slow, and always clean them. With enough time and exploration, you’ll be having big Os from your toy!
