Anal Dildos & Probes

What Are Anal Dildos & Probes?

Anal dildos and probes are toys designed specifically for pleasurable anal penetration. Unlike butt plugs, which are typically meant to stay inserted, dildos and probes are often slimmer and shaped for in-and-out penetration. Many feature a longer, tapered design and may have a curved head for targeted prostate (P-spot) stimulation.

All anal dildos and probes include a flared base or finger loop handle for safety—this prevents the toy from slipping in too far and ensures safe play every time. While many anal toys are smaller than traditional dildos to accommodate the unique anatomy of anal play, you’ll also find monster or creative dildos in this collection—larger, longer and more intense toys for size lovers and advanced users.

Available in a range of body-safe materials including silky silicone, sleek stainless steel, and luxurious glass, there’s something here for every preference and experience level.

How to Choose the Right Anal Dildo or Probe

Choosing an anal toy is a bit different from picking a vaginal dildo. Because of the anatomy involved, safety is essential—always choose toys with a flared base or handle to prevent the toy from slipping in too far.

If you’re just starting out, go for a slim probe or a tapered design with a smooth surface to make entry more comfortable. As you gain experience, you might want to explore textured or girthy options that offer deeper or more targeted sensations.

Material and design also matter. We recommend silicone for a soft, body-safe feel, while metal and glass toys provide firmer pressure and heightened sensitivity. The right toy for you depends on your comfort level, curiosity, and what kind of sensation you’re looking for.

How to Use Anal Toys Safely & Pleasurably

1. Relax and Use Plenty of Lube Comfort is key when it comes to anal play. Take your time, breathe, and never rush. Use a generous amount of high-quality lubricant—our Anal Lubricants collection is specially formulated to provide long-lasting glide and comfort. Water-based or hybrid lubes are usually the best choice, especially with silicone toys.

2. Start Slow & Listen to Your Body Begin with external stimulation to help your body warm up. When you're ready, insert the toy gently, letting your body guide the pace. Whether you're playing solo or with a partner, communication and consent are essential. Go slow, pay attention to how things feel, and stop if anything feels uncomfortable.

3. Clean Thoroughly After Use Good hygiene is crucial. Clean your toy immediately after use, following the manufacturer's instructions. Most toys can be washed with warm water and mild soap or a dedicated sex toy cleaner. Be sure to dry and store them properly to keep them in great condition for next time.
