How to Choose and Use Anal Vibrators
by Lovehoney

With powerful waves of vibrations and a deep, satisfying feeling of penetration, you will be screaming all night long from the intensely erotic orgasms an anal vibrator provides.
Forget trying to manoeuvre your vibrating bullet or favourite rabbit vibrator so that your anus gets some good vibe loving - now your anus can have a vibrating playmate of its very own.
Safe, fun to use and available in a kaleidoscope of colours and a variety of materials, styles, shapes and sizes, you'll have just as much fun tracking down your dream anal vibe as you will using it.
What Makes it an Anal Vibe?
You can't just stick any old vibrator into your anus to get your kicks. Why? Because not all vibrators have been designed with anal use in mind, and if you use a normal vibe for anal stimulation or penetration it could cause discomfort to your anus or even get stuck. Try explaining that to a cubicle full of trainee doctors!
Anal vibrators have a flared base for easy retrieval, but the base also doubles up as a handy grip to control thrusts and depth.
Anal vibes are made to pleasure your anus in ways you've only dreamed of, so most come with tapered heads for easy insertion and a textured or beaded finish that will feel fabulous.
If you're already experienced in anal play, then you can find your favourite anal toy - be that a butt plug, anal dildo or anal beads - in a vibrating version too!
How to Use an Anal Vibrator
Anal vibes are great for use during masturbation as they add an extra element of stimulation that can really push your orgasm to the extremes of intensity! Anal vibrators are also a good form of foreplay before either vaginal or anal sex; they're particularly good for use before anal sex because they relax your outer sphincter muscles, making penetration less painful and much easier.
When using an anal vibrator, invest in a thick and silky anal lube that can be used safely on your sex toy. Try Maximus Anal Lubricant (£9.99), Tracey Cox Supersex Anal Lubricant (£8.99) or Sliquid Sassy Glycerin-Free Anal Lubricant (£7.99).
Once you have applied lubrication to your anal vibe and to your anus, either lie back in a comfortable position or position yourself on your hands and knees and slowly insert the anal vibe. Take it a small bit at a time to begin with, and stop if you feel any discomfort.
You can either switch the vibrating function or straight away, or you can choose to wait until it's fully inserted to enjoy the vibrating patterns. Either way, your anus will thank you for it!
Which Anal Vibe Should I choose?
There are so many anal vibes waiting for you to play with that you could quite easily have a different anal vibe for every day of the week. You could even have a different one twice a day, seven days a week! Not that we would stop you, of course, but to begin with you may want to settle on just one anal vibe and build up your collection from there.
Newcomers to anal vibes should start off with something slim like the Temptation Mini Anal Vibrator. This little cutie will give you a rollicking good introduction to the delights of anal vibrators and dare you to experiment with more.
If you're looking for a little bit more, there's the Black Cat Dual Rotating Butt Plug with a four-stage graduated beaded plug system to massage your inner anal walls and muscles.
