Quick Answer
Start with a small, tapered butt plug made from body-safe material like stainless steel, and always use plenty of lubricant. The Small Silver Butt Plug with Red Tail is an excellent entry point.
Why Start Small and Tapered?
A beginner anal toy should be small in diameter and have a tapered shape. This design allows you to insert it gradually, letting your muscles adjust at your own pace. The Silver Anal Stimulator and the Small Silver Butt Plug both feature tapered shafts, making them ideal for first-time users.

Material Matters: Stainless Steel vs. Others
Stainless steel is a top choice for beginners because it is non-porous, easy to clean, and provides a firm, smooth surface. Silicone is also body-safe but can be grippier. Steel toys like The Slider Vibrating Plug Medium offer a weighty, satisfying feel and are compatible with all lubricant types.
Vibration: Helpful or Overwhelming?
Some beginners enjoy the added stimulation of vibration, while others find it distracting. If you want to try vibration, look for a toy with multiple modes and speeds so you can start low. The Slider Vibrating Plug Medium offers 7 vibration modes and 3 speeds, giving you full control to find what feels good.
Your First Anal Toy: Decision Rules
- Size Rule: Choose a toy with a diameter of 1 inch or less and a tapered tip. This minimizes discomfort and allows gradual stretching. Measure your toy's widest point before buying.
- Material Rule: Opt for non-porous materials like stainless steel or silicone. They are body-safe, easy to clean, and less likely to cause irritation. Avoid jelly or PVC toys for your first purchase.
- Lubrication Rule: Always use a generous amount of water-based or silicone-based lubricant. Reapply as needed during play. Keep lube within arm's reach.
- Vibration Rule: If you choose a vibrating toy, start with the lowest setting and increase gradually. Many toys offer multiple modes for customization. Test the vibrations on your hand first.
