Things To Know When Shopping for an Anal Vibrator

An anal vibrator is designed for one specific purpose, so you can’t compare it to a vibrator meant to go in the vagina. The two places are anatomically different, so you should know what to look for in an anal vibrator. The size, the shape, and the material are always important, but even more so when it comes to anal toys. We believe that some of the most important things you should pay attention to include the following:

• Material: We always ure you to select anal vibrators made from non-porous materials. These materials don’t trap bacteria or bodily fluids. They’re easier to clean, more hygienic, and more long-lived. Some top-rated anal vibrators are made from medical-grade silicone, ABS plastic and metal. If looking at another material, ensure it is body-safe and non-porous. The cheapest materials aren’t your safest bet, so be extra careful with them.
• Size: Bigger isn’t always better in the world of anal toys. If you go overboard with an anal vibrator that is too large, you may end up with a completely unusable item. Anal vibrators are usually streamlined and a lot thinner than vaginal vibrators. When lubed up properly, these are easier to insert. You also don’t need a large item to stimulate your anal nerves. The sphincter is a tight muscle that will respond to even the slightest pressure, which is why small anal beads and butt plugs feel so great. When you add vibrations to the mix, the experience gets even better. If you are a beginner, go with a more petite anal vibrator. In time, you can move on to a larger item.
• Firm or soft: Both of these choices have their fans. Some prefer firmer materials like ABS plastic because they allow easier penetration and more direct stimulation. Softer toys are made of materials like silicone and tend to offer a more realistic experience (the texture and the slight bend make the anal vibrator more reminiscent of a penis). Usually, you have to try each to decide what you like better.
• Prostate stimulation: Do you have a prostate? If so, the shape of your anal vibrator matters. A regular anal vibrator is straight. The items designed for prostate stimulation have a curve (much like G-spot stimulators). If you plan to use your vibrator for prostate massage, choose a specially chosen design for the purpose. You’re not going to regret that choice!
• Vibration settings: It’s a vibrator, after all! Always check the vibration settings before buying. There should be several intensities, as well as different vibration modes. There could be rhythmic pulsations, virtual thrusting, high-frequency vibrations, etc. Also, look at the way these are controlled and changed. In some instances, you’ll get a remote control. Other anal vibrators can be controlled through an app or a button on the toy itself. Most people find the remote control the best choice, but this is really up to individual preferences.
• Battery type: To give you delicious vibrations every single time, an anal vibrator must be powered by the correct battery. Usually, there are two possibilities. The first one is a built-in battery (usually a lithium battery). It can be recharged after it runs out and before the subsequent use. Rechargeable batteries give you convenience and many years of use. The other possibility is a regular battery (usually – AA or AAA standard batteries) that will last a certain number of hours. You’ll have to plan replacements, but vibrators with such batteries tend to be cheaper.
• Realism: Do you want an anal vibrator that looks like the real thing? Are appearance and texture vital to you? Some anal vibrators are very realistic, and they are a perfect replication of the human penis. Other toys have a more futuristic design that is chosen to offer easier insertion or more targeted stimulation.
• Ease of cleaning: Proper cleaning is vital for all kinds of toys, but especially so for anal vibrators. Choose materials and designs that are easier to clean. Ridges and textures add to the anal stimulation, but you must be more meticulous with the cleaning. Also, pay attention to the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions before buying.
