The line between an anal dildo and a butt plug is thinner than the categories suggest. A plug is shaped to stay put; a dildo is shaped to be moved. Many of the products here also appear under butt plugs, because plenty of them do both jobs perfectly well.
What every one of them has in common is a flared base. That is not a style choice — it is the feature that stops a toy going somewhere it cannot be retrieved from, and nothing without one belongs anywhere near anal use.
Start with the graduated sets
The most useful thing on this page for a beginner is a numbered range rather than a single toy. Intense Level 1 at 10.5 cm, Level 2 at 11.5 cm and Level 3 at 12.5 cm are the same conical shape in three widths, so you buy the next one only when the current one is comfortable.
⚠ Their titles say "douche", which is wrong — they are dilators, and the product descriptions describe them as such. That is a labelling error from the supplier feed, not a different product.
The Intense Pipo range works the same way in silicone: 9.8 cm and 11 cm.
Shape families
- Conical — narrow tip widening gradually. The most forgiving shape and the one every graduated set uses.
- Beaded — a string of spheres, so the sensation arrives in stages rather than continuously. Intense Jaiden is the reference here.
- Curved probes — bent to reach the prostate or the front wall. The CalExotics Liquid Flex Probe is soft liquid silicone that follows the body rather than resisting it.
- Thrusting — motorised. The Anal Fantasy Thruster is the only one on this page and sits at the top of the price range.
Size, honestly
Every size on this page is printed in centimetres, which is more useful than the marketing words around it. The numbers that matter are the widest diameter and the insertable length, in that order — width is what determines comfort, length mostly determines reach.
Almost everyone should start smaller than they think. A 9.8 cm toy that gets used beats a 17 cm one that does not.
Material
Silicone dominates here, and it is the right default: non-porous, warms to body temperature, easy to sterilise. Use it with a water-based lubricant, since silicone lubricant degrades silicone.
Anal tissue does not self-lubricate. This is not a place to be economical with lubricant, and a anal relaxing gel is worth considering if entry is the difficulty rather than size.
Care
Warm water and mild soap after every use, and a toy cleaner for anything shared or used both anally and vaginally. Never move a toy from anal to vaginal use without cleaning it thoroughly first — that is the one rule with a real medical reason behind it.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between this and a butt plug?
Intent more than shape. A butt plug is designed to stay in place; these are designed to move. Many products do both, which is why the two pages overlap so heavily.
Do I need a flared base?
Yes, without exception. The rectum has no natural stopping point, and a toy without a base can travel. Everything on this page has one.
Should I use a douche first?
Optional. See the anal douche page — it is a comfort measure, not a requirement, and over-doing it causes more problems than it solves.
What if I want vibration as well?
Different shelf — see anal vibrators, or the wider anal range range.
