Other Anal Toys

Anal stimulation goes beyond butt plugs and dildos. In this collection, you’ll find anal toys that don’t fit into a standard category: anal speculums, anal eggs, prostate massagers, Anal Douches, and more. Each product has been selected for its use of safe materials and clear safety assurances. Be sure to check out the full overview of all anal toys.

What other anal toys are there?

The world of anal toys is broader than the well-known categories. In addition to butt plugs, anal dildos, and anal vibrators, there are toys designed for specific forms of anal stimulation, hygiene, or exploration. This collection brings those products together: from compact and accessible to advanced and specialized. You may also hear the terms anal sex toys or anal playthings—they all refer to the same type of products.

Types of other anal toys

Anal Douches

An anal douche is not a toy in the erotic sense, but a practical tool for hygiene before anal use. With an anal douche, you rinse the rectum clean, which increases comfort and hygiene during anal sex and toy use. You can find more information about use and importance in the article why use an anal douche.

Anal speculums

Anal speculums are medically inspired toys that spread and hold open the anal opening. They are used in medical play and advanced BDSM contexts. Metal speculums are the most commonly used material—sturdy, easy to sterilize, and available in various opening sizes. You can find more background in Anal speculums: a deeper look into anal exploration.

Anal eggs

Anal eggs are compact, rounded anal toys that are operated via a cord or wirelessly. They are smaller than a butt plug and easier to insert. Suitable as a first introduction to anal stimulation or as a supplement during vaginal sex or masturbation.

Prostate massagers

Prostate massagers are curved anal toys specifically designed to target the prostate—the glandular tissue accessible through the back wall of the rectum. They are available with or without vibration. The curved shape ensures that the tip automatically presses against the right spot upon insertion.

Expanding butt plugs

Expanding butt plugs have a mechanism that allows you to make the plug larger after insertion. This provides a progressive, adjustable feeling of fullness that you cannot achieve with a fixed-size plug. Suitable for advanced users who want control over the degree of dilation.

Anal relaxing lubricant

Anal relaxing lubricant contains a mild numbing or relaxing agent that helps relax the sphincter muscles. It lowers the resistance threshold during anal penetration. Use it as a supplement to regular anal lubricant—never as a replacement, and never in such large quantities that you can no longer feel pain signals.

What should you look for in other anal toys?

The basic rule applies to every anal toy: there must always be a wide base, flange, or handle to prevent the toy from sliding all the way inside. This is non-negotiable. Material: choose body-safe options like silicone, stainless steel, or borosilicate glass. Always use anal lubricant — the anal canal does not produce its own lubrication.

Frequently asked questions about other anal toys

What is an anal speculum and who is it for?

An anal speculum is a toy that spreads and holds open the anal opening. It is for advanced users who have experience with anal penetration and are interested in medical play or visual stimulation. Never start with a speculum as your first anal experience — build up experience with smaller toys first.

Is an Anal Douche required for using anal toys?

Not required, but recommended if you want more comfort. An Anal Douche cleans the anal canal and gives many people more confidence during anal play. Use lukewarm water and never rinse too deeply or too forcefully—focus on the bottom few centimeters of the rectum, not the entire colon.

What is the difference between a prostate massager and an anal vibrator?

A prostate massager is specifically curved to reach the prostate—that is the primary purpose of its shape. An anal vibrator is more versatile and isn’t always curved. Some anal vibrators also have a prostate-friendly curve, but that isn’t always the case. If prostate contact is the goal, choose a toy that is explicitly described as a prostate massager.

How do I clean non-motorized anal toys?

Silicone, glass, and metal models without electronic parts can be boiled or placed in the dishwasher for complete sterilization. Always wash them first with warm water and mild soap before boiling. TPE and rubber are porous—clean them only with soap and water and use them preferably with a condom.
