Start small, go slow, and use more lube than you think you need — the anus doesn't self-lubricate. Only use toys with a flared base or retrieval loop, warm up with a finger or petite plug first, and stop if anything hurts. Our beginner guides cover technique step by step.

Because the rectum can draw objects fully inside, and a flared base is the only reliable way to prevent that. Every anal toy we sell has a flared base, T-bar, or retrieval loop — it's a hard requirement of our curation, not a suggestion.

A thick water-based anal lube is the safest default — cushioning, long-lasting, and compatible with every toy material including silicone. Silicone lube lasts even longer but shouldn't be used on silicone toys. Reapply often; there is no such thing as too much.
