Beginner Anal Toys: 12 Best Anal Toys for Beginners

Last Updated on October 13, 2023

Thinking about first time anal toys for beginners? Of course you are! Welcome to the butt stuff bandwagon. You're about to embark on a fantastic adventure packed with supercharged orgasms and a more adventurous sex life. I'm pleased to introduce you to the wonderful world of anal toys.

Beginner anal toys are tame, designed with visual cues in mind to resist the taboo image of yesteryear erasing the dirty image of anal sex and butt play. Couples, men and women are enjoying the sexual pleasures of small anal toys for beginners together during foreplay.

Today we'll cover the very best beginner anal toys and anal training toys while providing a quick breakdown of the various types of starter anal toys worth your consideration. Let's start not at the top, but at the bottom, haha!

Beginner Butt Why?

First, a quick anatomy lesson for your safety and comfort: The anus consists of two sphincters: an inner one that you can’t control, and an outer sphincter that you can control by consciously relaxing it and let it accept something going in backwards. Remember, the anal sphincter is originally designed as an exit hole, not an entry hole!

Alas, mother nature placed a highly concentrated mix of sensitive nerve endings here and it just happens that touching them, adding pressure and vibration stimulation from an anal dildo results in intense sexual arousal for women and men too. It's no secret that the best anal dildo for men is nothing more than a vibrating butt plug that stimulates the prostate gland. In conclusion, we humans are enjoying using this sphincter as an entry point for powerful orgasms.

As your body gets more accustomed to various sizes of toys, you can move on to bigger toys or body parts as you wish, but not everyone wants anal sex as their main goal. Sometimes just a teensy-weensy poke from a butt plug back there is all that's desired (and required, for that matter) to improve your sexual pleasure and make orgasms stronger. The same applies to both men in terms of prostate stimulation and women.

Best Types of Beginner Anal Toys

There are several different types of starter butt toys for sale, but not are all necessarily suited as good small anal toys for beginners. The following styles are excellent beginner anal toys and have a vast range of small, short and thin options available for sale:

1. Butt Plugs

What is a butt plug? Butt plugs get their name from being sex toys that essentially “plug” the rectum. They add pressure to the first few sensitive inches of your butthole.

If you look at a butt plug, there is a narrow tip that gets gradually larger and a base that tapers back down before the flared or anchor shaped base. The wide bottom is great for keeping a plug to stay in places. The vibrating anal plug adds an unmistakable tingle.

The butt plug is designed to ease into your body and then sit there, which sounds boring, but they’re actually filling your body, rubbing against the sensitive nerve endings from the inside. They are the easiest to use because all you do is lube it up, then “set and forget”. Perfect to wear during penetrative sex.

An anal plug with a wider body will resist popping or falling out too since the widest girth rests inside the sphincter, which closes around the thin stem. This is the best butt plug type to wear hands-free. The only disadvantage of a beginner anal toy is the thin girth which can easily slide out of the sphincter.

Something that small and thin may not stay in the rectum without a helping hand to hold it there, and it can easily “pop” out of your butt when you've changing positions during partnered sex. Since it is really small, the sphincter might not have enough mass to grab onto and hold there.

2. Anal Dildos

Dildos for anal are similar to vaginal dildos & vibrators for women, but the main feature of those better suited for first timers is they are small. Truth be told, a person can shop from any standard sex toy store's catalog and pick any random small dildo and stick it in their butt.

I think butt dildos are a good starter anal toy for beginners because they are often much thinner than a butt plug which is a more comforting thought for a true first timer, especially if they have never used anything to penetrate anally before.

The thin steady shaped dildo shaft is more sleek and inviting, easier to insert. The disadvantage is that they will fall out if not held in place. Especially the beginner anal dildos, let go with your hand and it will slide right out. These are for anal play, the literal term for butt stuff foreplay using sex toys.

Anal vibrator dildos up the pleasure factor by adding a vibrating motor to the dildo shaft. The tingling of a buzzing motor in the rear is exuberantly exciting and something I really wish every person will try at some point in time. It's excellent during masturbation and moments of shameless self love.

3. Anal Beads

Anal beads are excellent small anal toys for beginners because they are graduated which means the first bead is small and they gradually increase in girth as the strand progresses until the end. This way each person can choose how deep or how shallow to insert it.

If you want to sample only the first few tiny beads, by all means enjoy “just the tip!” The more you enjoy the sleek bumpy sensation inside the anus, the deeper you can go. Long anal beads feature a super non-threatening gradient in size, with the first few beads being accessible to any butthole, no matter how nervous its owner.

How to use anal beads? Anal beads are meant to be pulled at the insert of orgasm, but you can push & pull it in & out as a kinky form of anal play (which I recommend you try at some point, folks really enjoy the sliding sensation back there).

What About an Anal Training Kit?

Some customers shopping online for beginner anal toys are drawn to anal training kits. After all, they are a collection of butt plugs and dildos made for newbies, right?

Anal training kits include a stepped collection of rectal plugs ranging from small to large which train the anus to accept something with a bigger girth, also known as anal stretching.
