As anal play becomes less taboo, people from across the gender and sexuality spectrum are learning more about how great it can be to stimulate the backdoor. 

That being said, using anal vibrators and other anal toys for the first time can be a scary experience. The best way to make sure your experience is fun, safe, and as pleasurable as possible is to take things to step by step. 

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about how to use an anal vibrator so that you can get the most out of your booty toys. Let's get into it. 

What Is an Anal Vibrator?

Simply put, anal vibrators are toys designed for the anus. And as the name suggests, they vibrate! I

t doesn't matter what shape they take — butt plug, anal bead, prostate massager, or another type of sex toy — if they can vibrate, they're anal vibrators. 

How does an anal vibrator work?

Anal vibrators are designed to penetrate and stimulate the anus. Most are contoured to fit inside the anal canal, offering comfortable penetration and safety features that keep it in place — so it doesn't slip into the great beyond.

Do Anal Vibrators Feel Good?

Let's face it. Anal play isn't for everyone. Some find it scary or just plain uncomfortable to explore their backdoor. 

But if you haven't given it a try yet, you could be missing out. The anal area is an erogenous zone for everybody, regardless of gender. Many people enjoy the extra spice it brings to sex or even masturbation. This new layer of sensation can enhance your pleasure in every way.

Do Anal Vibrators Feel Good For Women and Men? 

If you have a penis, anal stimulation might be something you've heard about — or considered — before. A male anal vibrator can target the prostate and the bundle of sensitive nerves surrounding it, giving you an intense burst of pleasure. Some people can orgasm through this G-spot stimulation alone.

But what about a female anal vibrator?

Since most women don't have a prostate to stimulate, does putting something up the anus feel good? The short answer is yes! A woman's anus is full of just as many sensitive nerve endings as her vagina. When stimulated, these nerve endings engorge with blood and become extra sensitive. Vibrations can send some much-needed sensations along the vaginal folds and the clitoris. 

Penetrating the anus can also add some spice to anyone's sex life. The feeling of double penetration is incredibly stimulating, creating a sense of fullness that can lead to deep and powerful orgasms. Regardless of what equipment you're working with, anal vibrators can spur an incredible orgasm.

How To Use an Anal Vibrator for the First Time

If you find the prospect of putting something up there a bit daunting, you're not alone. The best way to ease into things is by taking it one step at a time. Here are a few tips to help you learn how to use an anal vibrator the right way. 

1. Take Things at Your Own Pace

From taboos to misinformation, there's a lot out there that might make you think twice before jumping into your first-time anal vibrator experience. The most important part of breaking down this wall is to take things one step at a time. 

Before you start, do some research into anal play to soothe some of your anxieties or fears. Figure out what you want to get out of it and get yourself in the right mindset before you start.

2. Start by Doing It Solo 

There's nothing wrong with experimenting with someone else, but it can be more comfortable to try things off alone at first. After all, you know your own body best. 

When you're alone, you'll be in complete control. Try out some different positions, ease things in at your own pace and stop whenever you need to. You don't need to jump straight into using the most intense anal vibrator settings — take it as slow as you want. Just relax and enjoy the sensations, even those that might surprise you. Once you feel empowered, informed, and experienced, you can transition to experimenting with a partner. 

3. Practice Good Hygiene 

Hygiene is essential in any sexual situation, but it's crucial for anal play. You're about to get way more intimate with your anus, including your digestive system. It can help to clean up before going back there. 

For a quick clean, use unscented and hypoallergenic baby wipes. Ensure to go to the bathroom at least 30 minutes before you start to empty your bowels and wash the anal area thoroughly. To make sure your anal play is as clean as it gets, you can use an enema one to two hours before.

4. Lube, Lube, Lube

When it comes to anal play, you need lube. It's essential. There's no natural lubrication in the anus — and dry sex is no fun. To help the vibrator penetrate smoothly with no discomfort, make sure you're using lots of lubricants to make things slippery.
