Beginner's Guide to Anal Vibrators

You’re already a fan of vibrations and you’ve got a thing for backdoor fun. Why not combine the two for an anal adventure that’s as delightful as it gets? Dive into our guide and discover how to take your experience to the next level.

Anal vibrators work wonders to stimulate the sensitive nerve endings in your rear, offering even more excitement than static anal toys. Our handy guide is here to help you maximize the fun and get the most out of your toy.

What is an Anal Vibrator?

Anal vibrators are toys specifically designed for your anus that also come with vibration capabilities. Whether your toy is shaped like a traditional butt plug, anal beads, or a prostate massager, if it vibrates, it falls into the category of anal vibrators.

You can even use traditionally vaginal vibrators, like rabbit vibrators, in your backdoor if you want—just make sure the toy has a flared base or finger loop to prevent it from getting lost. As long as you’ve got that covered, you’re all set.

If you have a vulva, always remember to thoroughly clean and disinfect any toy that’s been used anally before it comes anywhere near your vagina. Anal bacteria can throw off the delicate balance of the vaginal environment, so hygiene is key.

How to Use An Anal Vibrator?

1. Lube for success

No matter what type of anal vibrator you’re using, you’ll need to grab some lubricant since the anus doesn’t produce its own. The best choice for anal vibrators is a water-based anal lubricant, which works with all sex toy materials.

“Once I could tell he was starting to relax, I applied a generous amount of water-based lube to his anus and a bit on the massager. Slowly inserting it and watching his body respond was an incredible experience.”  – Inked Unicorn

Make sure to use a lubricant specifically designed for anal play. These tend to be thicker and provide longer-lasting slickness, making your posterior adventures smoother and more enjoyable.

2. Start small

Whether you’re using a vibrating toy or not, it’s always a good idea to start with something smaller the first time you try anal play. You can even pick an anal vibrator as your first toy and focus on enjoying the satisfying “full up” sensation in your backdoor without turning on the vibrations just yet.

“Would recommend to other beginners in this area. It’s small but mighty, making it perfect for newcomers! Plus, it’s quiet—definitely an added bonus.” – Loving123

Before inserting your anal vibrator, take some time to explore its different settings so there are no surprises once the fun begins. If your toy stays securely in place, you could even wear it during intercourse with your partner for an even more exciting and varied experience.

3. Explore new shapes and sizes

Once you’ve figured out that you enjoy a certain shape of anal toy or the sensation of vibrations buzzing in your backdoor, it’s time to step up your game and find new toys that take your experience to the next level.

If you’re a guy, why not give a rotating prostate massager a shot? It doesn’t just vibrate against your sensitive P-spot—it also teases it with a rotating tip for an even more intense experience.

“Once it was in, oh my, did it feel good. The rotations and vibrations were absolutely mind-blowing.” – Rusty19841

You could also experiment with a double penetration strap-on. This toy straps a vibrating dildo right under your penis, giving your partner the thrill of double penetration. And if you’re a fan of vibrating butt plugs, you might want to try a combo ‘butt plug cock ring’ to add an extra layer of pleasure to your playtime.
