With over a third of Westerners having tried it, anal penetration is a kink that is becoming more popular than ever in the bedroom. The anus is packed with nerve ending that are receptive to stimulation and can result in anal orgasms for both men and women.
When it comes to anal toys, there’s a great variety of super sexy, super kinky toys for women to choose from. From anal beads to douches, kinky.ie has everything you need to experience incredible anal play.
Safety First
Sex can be messy, and even more-so when it comes to anal play. In fact, according to a recent survey it’s the mess that puts most off from trying it. There are simply steps to take which will ensure that your experience is clean, safe and fun. First, empty your bowels at least 30 minutes before you start. If you’re looking for a more thorough clean, we recommend using an Anal Douche (€ 14.16, kinky.ie). 3-4 hours before anal play. These are affordable, easy to use, and will loosen any debris and ensure your passage is clear. This step is not needed, and is more of a personal preference than a hygiene essential.
As with all toys, make sure you clean them thoroughly and store them after every use. This is even more important if you share your toys with your partner (after all, most anal toys are unisex…and sharing is caring). This reduces the risk of infections and other nasty surprises. There are products available that are marketed as sex toy cleaners, however, hot soapy water will also do the trick.
Don’t Forget the Lube
Since the anus does not lubricate itself, lube will make the experience more comfortable and pleasurable. There are plenty of anal lubes available which have a greater viscosity than the standard water based versions – Pjur Silicone Back Door Relaxing Anal Glide (€ 18.88, kinky.ie) is an affordable and long lasting anal lube. Creams and lubes that numb the anus should be avoided – pain is a sign that something isn’t right and without these signs you could cause some serious damage. If you feel any pain, stop what you’re doing, relax, and try it again.
Choosing The Right Toy
Anal toys are both enjoyable and easy to use. Nevertheless, there’s a few things to take into consideration before purchasing your first toy. Firstly, buy from a respected store and if possible, check the quality of the toy before purchasing. Choose a toy that is made from plastic or silicone, and avoid toys that are made from wood all costs. Anal toys are generally broader at the base to prevent it for being sucked too far into the rectum – keep this in mind when browsing, to avoid any nasty surprises later on. Beginners should start with something smooth and small, about the size and shape of a finger. Butt plugs are perfect for stretching the anus before enjoying something bigger, like an anal dildo. Their simple design makes them an ideal choice for beginners; butt plugs can be used alone for unique anal stimulation or during masturbation and intercourse.
We recommend: Prisms Devata Anal Plug (€ 23.60, kinky.ie) and Pleasure Plug Small (€ 15.34, kinky.ie).
Anal Dildo
Anal dildos are often shaped to stimulate the sensitive back wall of the vagina. When choosing your first dildo, go for one that is smooth with a tapered head for easier insertion. Once you are comfortable with using one, you can start exploring the different textures and sizes that are available.
Anal Beads
Anal beads are often overlooked. However, they are ideal for beginners and are often the cheapest and easiest to use. Anal beads are made up of a series of graduating balls on a flexible chain; great for those who are new to anal play and don’t know how much they can take. When choosing your beads, look for a set with a flared base or a ring-pull which will make them easy to remove.
We recommend: Loving Joy Anal Love Beads (€ 7.07, kinky.ie).
Anal Vibrator
Anal vibrators are perfect for those who have already experimenting with anal play and the buzzing sensations elsewhere on the body. For those who are a little more experienced – the main attraction of a vibrator is that does all the hard work for you! Most come with different levels that regulate and adjust the vibrations, speeds and sometimes movement.
We recommend: Booty Beads 2 (€ 41.31, kinky.ie) and the Remote Control Beaded Prober (€ 35.41, kinky.ie).
