Best Anal Toys of 2026: 6 Picks From First Plug to Prostate
Apr
The best anal toys are the ones that match where you are: a small plug for a first try, a heavier or vibrating plug once that feels easy, and a prostate massager if that’s what you’re after. Every one needs a flared base. We picked six we stock, plus a douche for prep, with specs from the makers.

THE BEST ANAL TOYS, REVIEWED
Live prices from our store. Prices updated November 4, 2026.
Best for: Starting small and sizing up slowly
Doc Johnson’s Mood set has three silicone plugs in the same tapered shape: small (3 in insertable, 0.75 in wide), medium (3.75 in, 1 in) and large (4.75 in, 1.25 in). Each step adds only a quarter of an inch. Doc Johnson says you can boil them for 3 minutes or wash them on the top rack of the dishwasher.
Best for: Weight and a firm, smooth feel
njoy’s Pure Plug pairs a large head with a tapered stem that njoy says makes it easy to keep in and comfortable for longer wear, and the steel adds a sense of fullness. Head widths are 1 in (small), 1.25 in (medium) and 1.5 in (large). Steel doesn’t stretch, so pick the size you already know is comfortable.
Best for: Adding vibration without a big spend
The Bass is a silicone vibrating plug with one button, 6 intensities and 4 patterns. ROMP lists 60 minutes per charge from an 80-minute charge, IPX7 waterproofing, a size of 103 × 78 mm and a two-year warranty.
Best for: A partner controlling it with a remote or app
Ditto+ is We-Vibe’s small vibrating plug with a tapered head and a flexible base, and We-Vibe says its size suits people new to anal play. It comes paired to its splashproof remote and also works with the We-Vibe app, including long distance. We-Vibe lists 10 modes, 120 minutes per charge, a 90-minute charge and IPX7. Our remote butt plug guide compares more.
Best for: Prostate and perineum stimulation, hands-free
Edge 2 has one motor for the prostate and one for the perineum, controlled separately in the Lovense Remote app, and a neck you bend to set the angle. Lovense lists 65 to 130 minutes per charge (depending on the level), a charge of about 100 minutes and IPX7. Our prostate toys guide goes deeper.
Best for: Rinsing before anal or prostate play
The Prelude is an all-silicone enema bulb with a one-way, slow-flow nozzle that Aneros says takes 30 to 45 seconds to empty, and a flange that marks the maximum depth. Aneros says to use plain water between 90 and 104°F. Our anal douche guide walks through the steps.

ANAL SAFETY BASICS
- Flared base, always. Never use a toy without one anally.
- More lube than you think. Water-based, reapplied as needed. Too little can tear delicate skin, as We-Vibe warns.
- Go slowly and stop if it hurts. Lovense’s advice for the Edge 2: start low, adjust gradually, stop at any pain.
- Clean between holes. Wash a toy before it goes from anal to vaginal use.
- No numbing creams. We-Vibe advises against desensitizing sprays or creams; pain is a signal to slow down.

ANAL TOY FAQ
What is the best anal toy for beginners?
A small, tapered silicone plug with a flared base. A training set like the Mood Pride set lets you start at 0.75 inches wide and size up a quarter inch at a time.
What should I look for in an anal toy?
A flared base that stops it going in too far, a tapered tip, a body-safe material such as silicone or stainless steel, and a size that matches your experience. Vibration and app control are extras.
Which lube should I use for anal play?
Plenty of water-based lube; the body doesn’t make its own lubrication there. We-Vibe and Lovense both specify water-based lube for their toys. See our lube guide.
Do I need to douche before anal play?
It’s a personal choice. If you do, a gentle bulb with plain, body-temperature water is enough. Read our anal douche guide first.
Can I use any sex toy anally?
No. Only use toys made for anal use, with a flared base or a long handle. A toy without one can slip in too far.
How do I clean anal toys?
Wash with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner after every use, and before moving a toy from anal to vaginal use. Silicone sets like the Mood plugs can also be boiled or put in the dishwasher, per Doc Johnson.
What’s the difference between a butt plug and a prostate massager?
A plug is made to sit in place and give a feeling of fullness. A prostate massager is curved to press on the prostate, often with a second arm for the perineum, like the Lovense Edge 2. Our prostate toys guide explains more.
