Vixen’s VixSkin material is the most realistic feeling dildo out there. Every sex toy enthusiast knows that.

Sure, other companies make dual-density anal toys like Doc Johnson, Blush, or Tantus. But the Vixen Mustang dildo OUTPERFORMS them all!

It has the right combination of firm core and squishy outer layer. In fact, if you’ll do a blind test of these toys, you’ll have a hard time telling the difference between a real penis and the Vixen dildo.

Yup, that’s how realistic the Mustang feels because of its high-quality materials.

Its premium silicone material is soft but NOT TOO soft because you still need to pass those sphincters that give quite a bit of resistance.

And if you’re a prostate owner, the curve and bulbous head do a great job of targeting your P-spot.

This dildo comes in 4 colors - chocolate, caramel, vanilla, and that nice rainbow-colored version. (Some stores even carry a few extra colors.)

For many anal play enthusiasts, the Lovehoney Curved dildo is their first.

Its shape, curved head, smooth texture, and suction cup make it an affordable, quality multi-purpose dildo.

As a starter dildo, you can use it to practice deepthroating. Of course, its exciting shape also works vaginally and anally to target the G spot and prostate (if you have one).

It comes with a suction cup base that’s great for pegging. Moreover, you’ll find a hole at the base where you can insert a bullet vibe for added stimulation.

From its silky-smooth silicone finish to its multispeed vibrations, the Lelo Loki vibrating prostate massager screams PREMIUM.

While it’s on the pricier side, it’s a favorite prostate massager for many penis owners (me included). Its nice curves and girth pair well with the handle to give you more control and precision.

It has a tapered tip, making insertion easy. Then, you’ll experience quite a good stretch as you go down its middle portion.

I like the variety of vibration settings (6 speeds), from pulsating throbs to strong, rumbly vibrations for intense orgasms. Plus, it’s waterproof.

Money well spent.

Tantus is famous for its anal and strap-on pegging sex toys. Many couples get Silk as their first anal dildo.

One good thing this beginner anal dildo provides is that it starts very small in size. And that there are NO crazy textures.

The material of this starter dildo is glossy silicone, yet firm making gliding in/out very easily. The color and look are non-intimidating as well.

Watch all 3 size videos to see how they look in real life.

Although Tantus does not have a suction cup base, you can purchase a double-sided suction cup mount and prop it on any flat surface with the Silk for some hands-free fun.

---

If your prior experience with anal has been only small butt plugs or fingers. Then a simple shaped 1-1.25-inch diameter dildo will be the best way for you.

The Real Nude Ergo is the most affordable, yet high-quality dual-density anal toy money can buy.

It’s hard to find dual-density for anything less than $50. You’ll get squishiness without the vexation of floppiness, thanks to the inner firm core.

Aside from the size and price, the subtle curve and texture will not overwhelm even anal beginners.

---

From the home of thick and long dildos, XXXCalibur is a fun, curved anal sex toy. It is easy to start with a tapered tip and a manageable width that slowly increases in diameter.

Of course, that’s if you start with the smallest size.

Don’t get too greedy as the size can really stretch you gooood. So, always check if you have the right size to not overwhelm your sphincters.

While Hankey’s Toys don’t have a suction cup, you’ll find it the least of your worries.

You can add Vac-U-Lock if you’re looking to use it with a fucking machine or harness.

---

This platinum silicone dildo is molded after the famous pornstar Cyrus King’s dong.

It’s very realistic, even though it reaches unrealistic sizes.

Similar to XXXCalibur it starts smaller and slowly increases in girth which makes it a fun toy to play in your backdoor. But Cyrus King’s head is more pronounced, which is great for targeting your internal hotspots.

---

The njoy Pure Wand isn’t a starter toy. Instead, it’s big and rigid, making it a challenge for anal novices.

But if you use it right, it’s definitely a FINISHER toy.

The Pure Wand is designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to stimulate your prostate (or your G-spot, if you use it vaginally) until you have the best orgasm of your life.

At $149.99, it’s one of the more expensive toys on this list. But it’s also body-safe, easy to clean, and reliable to blow your mind – or your partner’s. Trust me: you’ll use it often enough that it will pay for itself.

If you’re new to anal play, this is the kind of toy you’ll need to work up to first. But if you have enough experience with anal, the Pure Wand will be a dream come true for you.

Tracey Cox is a big name when it comes to sex toys for beginners. If you’re a newcomer to anal play, this glass dildo set will give you a great introduction.

With two dildos in the pack, you have two options to enjoy. The pink dildo is covered in little nodules, with flared bulbs at either end, so you can focus on the feeling of being penetrated. 

And the clear dildo is designed to hit your prostate – or your G-spot – with a flared end and a satisfyingly ribbed shaft.

The great thing about having two dildos is that you and your partner can both enjoy them! Whether you use them anally or vaginally, they’re a guaranteed good time.

So why not treat yourself to the gift of mutual masturbation?

There’s thrusting anally with dildos, and then there’s depth play. That’s something else.

While you shouldn’t probably start with these toys… If you love anal play, you should get yourself at least a Squarepeg Slink to experience the sensations of keeping this long toy inside you for a few hours.

What’s unique with deep anal dildos is that they are soft and bendy toys. An anal dildo may reach the places and depth that no ordinary straight/curved dildo would get to.

One reason for it is that around 8″ depth there is Sigmoid Flexure¹, which is a hard bend in the rectum. You need the best dildo for anal that is just the right touch of softness to get there.

As for the size of the dildo, keep in mind your body dimensions. I would suggest you get one size up so you can get deeper over time and don’t need to buy an additional dildo.

You will be surprised how deep you can go with these depth training probes.

Yes, these SquarePeg deep anal dildos are a bit pricey, but they are worth the gold.

---

Now, this is heavy-duty stuff. If around 25 inches insertable length isn’t interesting anymore — this one goes till 40 inches!

Because it mixes the perfect amount of width, softness, and length you can go really DEEEEEEEP.

This kind of play is something else, out of the world if that’s your thing.

---

Want to try out prostate stimulation with a partner? The Tantus Curve is harness-compatible, so your partner can strap it on, and you can go on an anal journey together.

If P-spot stimulation wands put you off, the Tantus Curve will give you a more realistic feeling. Its ridged texture and tapered head ensure you’re never bored, even before it reaches your prostate.

You can also use the Curve vaginally, so your partner can get in on the action.

Size options are limited, so you may want to start with a smaller dildo if you’re new to anal play. And if you don’t love its shade of purple, you won’t have any options for a different color.

But suppose you’re already familiar with anal and can deal with a purple dildo. In that case, it’s definitely worth giving the Curve a try.

---

If you’re looking for the same dual-density feel as the Mustang but want something BIGGER, then the 9-inch realistic-looking Outlaw dildo is for you.

Its 2-inch thickness is perfect for folks who want to feel FULL. Even if it’s not curved as the Mustang for prostate stimulation, the girth is more than enough to stimulate your sensitive anal nerve endings, regardless of gender.

Then, you’ve got those textured balls to make holding onto the dildo easier. Plus, it’ll feel like you’re being pounded by the real thing.

This curved glass dildo adds firm pressure to the P-spot (if you have one) for targeted prostate stimulation.

It’s compatible with all types of lube, super easy to clean, and pretty smooth, making insertion EASY.

This curved glass dildo is temperature-responsive. That means you can cool it OR heat it in warm water before engaging in anal play for exciting sensations.

While the size and smoothness are manageable for beginners, you have to be careful when using it alone as it doesn’t have a wide base. Better bring in your partner.

How We Rated These Anal Dildos

Not all dildos are made equal. And if you’ll use it on your backdoor, there are definitely specific things to consider (compared to, say, a dildo for a vagina).

The things we look into are the anal dildos’:

• Material
• Shape
• Size
• Durability
• Price

One of our most important priorities is safety. It should be a skin-friendly, body-safe material and durable build to ensure you can use it anally without any worries.

It should also have a flared base, so it doesn’t go all the way into your anus. The base secures the dildo outside your body, which is a requirement for almost all anal sex toys.

---

Types

When buying an anal dildo, you may see these categories and classifications.    

Design

• Standard/Classic Dildos – Similar to vaginal dildos, these dildos have a shaft, head, and base. These are the most classic look of a dildo. Its skin is often realistic as well.
• Butt Plugs – Smaller than regular dildos. The plug also has a flared base and smaller shaft, making it great for beginners and often can be used for an extended period. Especially for anal training.
• Anal Beads – They are a type of butt plug with around 3 to 4 beads on average (but there could be more) attached to a thin, string-like length. The size of these anal beads is often graduating, which feels really good especially when you pull it out.
• Vibrating Anal Dildos – Anal dildos with a vibrating motor on the base or middle section of the shaft. Premium ones may also evenly distribute the vibrations throughout the sex toy.
• Suction Cup Anal Dildos – The suction cup at its base enables you to attach the dildo to any flat surface. The purpose? Hands-free thrusting! 
• Realistic Anal Dildo – Well, they’re realistic. These dildos emulate the look of a penis from its look, veiny texture, and shape (bulbous head), and some come with balls. More premium dildos may even mimic the feel of a penis—particularly those with dual density.
• Ejaculating Anal Dildos – They are also known as squirting dildos. They have a reservoir where you can fill a liquid, usually something similar to the look of cum, that you can release to mimic ejaculation.

---

Shape

• Straight – The most standard shape of anal dildos. Most of these are made of rigid materials like ABS plastic or glass, so they are usually not flexible.
• Prostate Stimulation-Shape – The shaft is often uneven—some parts are thicker while others are thinner, curved, and so on. It’s built this way to stimulate the prostate in all the right places.
• Curved – It provides a better angle for hitting and stimulating the P-spot.
• Butt Plug Shaped – Often smaller in size, it has a thin and tapered tip that gradually widens in girth as you near the base. They are built for extended hands-free anal play.
• Multilevel – Usually in beaded anal dildos with increasing and decreasing size of the anal beads. Some start at the smallest while others at the biggest.

The Best Anal Dildo Buying Guide

There is no one best anal dildo, but there’s the best anal dildo for your specific needs.

Spend a little extra time to write down the features that you’re looking for to avoid costly mistakes.

Here are sample questions you should consider when looking for an anal dildo:

• How girthy toy can you handle? A good way to start is 1-inch diameter toy. And then you should have an additional anal toy increasing in 0.25 inches – 0.35 inches increments. Make bigger jumps and you are inviting your butthole for injuries.
• Do you want a firm toy or a squishy anal dildo with a lot of give? Firmer toys are easier to insert, but they don’t feel as good. Squishy soft anal dildos feel incredibly good. But they have trouble getting past those sphincters. This is why dual-density silicone dildo toys are the most popular anal dildos. These products have a firm inner core and squishy outer layer surface. Best of both worlds.
• Looking for the best anal toys you can ride? In this case, a suction cup dildo or a toy with a wide, stable base will be important.
• Looking for stretching, depth play, or something more filling? For each case, the anal toy will look completely different. Align your expectations with reality.
• Realistic or artistic shape? Some love realism, and some prefer artistic shapes that don’t look similar to a real penis head. Whatever your preference, make sure to think of it upfront.
• Price range : Keep in mind product shipping and tax costs. In a $100 range, you’ll have a range of great choices. For body-safe silicone toys that cost around $50, you’ll only get smaller, simpler anal sex toys.

Pretty much all anal dildos will be harness friendly, so you don’t need to think about that. 

But if you do need to find a good harness, Spareparts Joque is the most loved by pegging enthusiasts.

---

Materials

Avoid porous material like TPE, rubber, or jelly for your anal dildo. This is especially important if you’re playing around the back.

You want a body-safe, non-porous, and 100% cleanable anal toy.

After all, who wants weird reactions or have an anal toy that smells like shit after a few times of use?

Right.

This leaves you with three material options:

• glass dildo
• metal dildo
• silicone dildo

Glass dildos and metal anal toys are interesting. A glass dildo makes for unique toys for vaginal play or P-spot stimulation. An anal glass dildo is usually made of toughened borosilicate glass, while a metal anal toy is made of stainless steel.

Both types of anal dildos are great for smooth insertion, targeted stimulation, and temperature play. They’re compatible with all types of lubes. Moreover, they’re great when playing with a partner.

But one downside of these anal dildos is their rigid, unforgiving nature. It might be too much for new users. But they do make perfect alternatives if you’re worried about synthetic materials.

Moving onto silicone anal toys.

Silicone dildos come in various types, from firm, medium-firm to matte/glossy, and dual-density dildos.

For anal masturbation, dual-density dildos are the best toys. They have a firm inner core and a squishy outer layer, which feel like the real thing.

But then again, your choice still depends on the type of sensation you’re looking for.

---

Size

With anal dildos, size is very crucial because you can’t jump to size XXL if it’s your first time. You really have to start small.

The most important aspect here is girth:

• Smaller anal dildos – around 3 to 5 inches in circumference
• Medium to larger ones – range from 5 to 7 inches and up

Next is length:

• Small – around 4 to 6 inches
• Medium to large – around 7 to 9 inches 

There are also really long ones—12 inches and over—for those who want to explore depth play.

You need to make sure you choose a size you can take in at your level to avoid hurting yourself. You can always size up when you gain more experience.

---

Texture

Some anal dildos are smooth, while others have a rougher, textured finish. This boils down to preference.

If you’re a beginner, try going for a smooth finish. You can focus on training on the size and the pressure of the toy in your anus.

More experienced pleasure seekers who find themselves wanting more stimulation opt for textured dildos.

---

Budget

The price range of anal dildos definitely varies A LOT. It could go as low as more or less $10, while others are in the hundreds.

Why?

First of all, the build.

Even if you’re on a budget, avoid skimping on the quality. This way, you can ensure it won’t break on you, skipping an unwanted trip to the ER. And those hospital bills are exorbitant!

Next are its material, size, realism, softness (dual-density is often more premium), and so on. 

Vibrating options tend to be pricier as well.

You don’t have to break the bank to get into some fun anal play, though, as there are definitely great bangs for the buck (like those we listed here).

---

Extra Features

Special features on anal dildos aren’t just bells and whistles. They are often functional as well!

For example, the suction cup lets you thrust the dildo hands-free. Convenient!

Waterproof vibrating dildos also make waterplay more fun. Anal Os will feel more intense with vibrations too.

If you’re particular or interested in any type of anal play, you should definitely check out extra features on anal dongs.

FAQ: Common Anal Play Questions, Answered

What is an anal dildo?

Anal dildos are adult toys designed for anal play and penetration. They are similar to a “regular” dildo you know, but with some features specifically for anal use.

For example, they are often smaller. 

The purpose? Safety and comfort. Especially when you’re still starting out.

Another important distinction of anal dildos from other types of dildos is their flared base. This ensures the toy won’t be sucked into your anus to the point of no return.

---

Why should I buy an anal dildo?

Pleasure, mostly.

The anus is packed with nerve endings, making exploring it feel pleasurable. 

Peeps with prostate can also reach male orgasm with it.

Also, it’s kinky. The “taboo” nature makes anal play sexy for many folks.

---

How to prepare for my anal dildo?

Preparation is IMPORTANT if you haven’t explored the B-town as much. 

There are also many levels to preparation (like if it’s happening, like, RIGHT NOW or if you have more time to prep for it). 

In general, do these steps:

• Clean up. Soap and water will do, but you may also consider an enema for a deeper clean.
• Relax. Your sphincter muscles should be relaxed to allow penetration. You can take a hot bath to do so and make sure you’re super aroused.
• Lube, lube, lube. A non-negotiable. The anus doesn’t self-lubricate, so lube (and lots of it!) is crucial for safety and pleasure.

---

How to use my anal dildo?

After you’ve lubed up your anal dildo, take a deep breath and slooowly insert it into your anus. 

Slow yet firm pressure is required to get through the muscular walls of your backdoor.

The flared base of the dildo gives you a good grip as you insert it.

It isn’t comfortable at first, and that’s normal. You can pause for 30 seconds and evaluate—is it TOO painful or uncomfortable? Do you need to lube up more? Or are you feeling well?

Always listen to your body. You can always try another time if it isn’t working.

Depending on your anal dildo and preference, you don’t need to thrust it in and out. 

The pressure of the sex toy on your butt alone is enough to give you good sensations, especially if it vibrates.

Some toys, like anal beads, shine when you pull them out. I suggest you do so mid-orgasm.

---

How safe is an anal dildo?

Anal dildos are safe, IF:

• You use them correctly.
• They are body-safe and durable.

Take the right precautions, listen to your body, and know the risks and limits.

THAT should help you ensure your sexploration with anal dildos is S-A-F-E.

---

How deep can a dildo safely go in the anus?

The anus doesn’t have an “end,” so it could go on and on—right to the intestines. And you wouldn’t want to reach that deep.

The rectum has a “turn” at around 5 inches from the anal opening. Hence, I recommend you go for an dildo at around that range.

But there are anal dildoes that go beyond that in length, and they are often flexible. That turn is exactly the reason why so it could probe deeper.

Very experienced anal players explore depth play, but you should do so with caution, training, and experience.

---

Worried about internal damage? Overstretching and gaping

Remember to use plenty of lube. Squirt it inside and stretch slowly. This will ensure that you have a good experience.

If it starts to hurt you can stop, give it a rest and try again till your sphincter gets used to being stretched.

Don’t worry about gaping — after a few minutes, the sphincters will always get back to normal. And this is also the case with stretching.

If you stretch to larger anal sex toys and then stop for a few weeks, your sphincter will get tight again. And you’ll need to start from scratch.

---

What is the best anal lube to use?

The thing is that butt doesn’t naturally lubricate. So you want extra thick and lasting lube products to ease penetration.

No anal dildo experience is complete without any lube.

Water-based lubricant is the safest choice. Many experienced anal sex players swear by the thicker Sliquid Sassy. But the problem is that it dries up quickly and requires a lot of reapplication.

A good anal lube is usually made from silicone. Silicone-based lubes are the thickest and longest-lasting anal lubes.

Unfortunately, silicone lube + silicone toy has reactions and the anal lubricant will damage the toy.

So what can you do?

Well, there are hybrid lubes that contain very little silicone. This gives the thickness while not damaging the toy.

One good hybrid lube is Sliquid Naturals Silk. Most women also use Sliquid Naturals Silk as cum lube since it looks white and milky.

Finally, if you’re on a serious budget you can also choose unrefined coconut oil.

It lasts a long time and is safe to use with an anal dildo (but be wary of latex condoms, check out our guide on the best condoms for anal to be safe).

It’s just a bit of a challenge to avoid the mess with coconut oil. It’s so easy to get that oil all over the place. So make sure to prepare plenty of towels up front.

How to avoid anal sex toys smelling like shit?

Usually, this problem occurs with porous toys from questionable materials, like TPE, rubber, and jelly materials. Getting a quality toy is the first step.

The next step is to ensure that toy cleaners are available. Make sure you clean your dildo after every use. Silicone is boilable and bleachable.

Spraying it with sex toy cleaners will seal the deal. Aside from using a sex toy cleaner, consider getting a black anal dildo. Since they don’t show fecal matter as bright dildo would.

---

How to properly clean and Store my dildo after anal?

The anus has poop and bacteria, so cleaning your dildo before and after every use is crucial.

Make sure to disinfect your anal dildo before using it. Each material has its own cleaning steps and methods.

Nonporous materials like silicone, glass, and metal can be cleaned with soap and water. 

Meanwhile, porous ones like rubber, TPE, plastic, and jelly need special care as they could harbor bacteria.

When you’re done, make sure they’re completely dry before storing them in their cases.

---

How to keep my ass clean and avoid shitty experiences?

Well, if you play in the backdoor, some mess is to be expected no matter how hard you clean it. But even regular douching is not really healthy, so it’s advisable that you adjust your diet.

If you eat a sufficient amount of fiber — like fruits, veggies, and raw celery, your ass will be A LOT cleaner. Hah, didn’t expect diet advice in an anal dildo guide?

---

What are the benefits and drawbacks of anal dildos?

---

Where to buy the best dildo for anal?

Buy your anal dildo from authorized vendors and official online stores of sex toy retailers. The best places to shop are SheVibe and Lovehoney.
