A small, smooth butt plug with a tapered tip, narrow neck and wide flared base is often the easiest starting point. A graduated training kit is another helpful option because it allows you to progress slowly.

A wide, flared base or secure handle prevents the toy from becoming fully inserted. Never use a toy anally unless it has been specifically designed for anal use.

Use plenty of lubricant because the anus does not naturally self-lubricate. Water-based lubricant is compatible with most toys. Check the manufacturer’s instructions before using silicone lubricant with a silicone toy.

Begin in a relaxed setting with clean hands and plenty of lubricant. Start with external touch, insert the toy slowly and never force it. Stop immediately if you experience sharp or persistent pain.

Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. Most non-porous toys can be cleaned with warm water and mild, unscented soap or a suitable toy cleaner. Let the toy dry completely before storing it separately.

Place a new condom over the toy for each person or use a toy that can be thoroughly sanitised. Never move a toy from the anus to the vagina without washing it thoroughly or replacing the condom.
