Similarly to butt plugs, these fun toys still go inside your bum, but they add an extra layer of action to your play. By design, each anchor can be “closed” for easy insertion, but once it’s inside, it will expand to lock in place! Intrigued? Keep reading to learn more!

How We Selected the Best Anal Anchors

Anyone can “recommend” products, but here at Bedbible, we only recommend toys that we think are worth using. If it’s not a product that we wouldn’t use ourselves, you won’t find it on one of our lists! We kept that “is it worth using” mindset in our heads as we made this list of anal anchors, using a combination of available information and customer feedback to handpick our selections.

We’ve focused on a variety of factors for this review, including the materials used, design, ease of use, comfort, and originality. Having mulled over the various options out there, we’ve managed to consolidate our once-long list into the five top picks you’ll soon see below. Whether you’re picking up your first anal toy or looking to add to your current collection, we’re sure you’ll find

How We Selected the Best Anal Anchors

Anal Anchor vs. Butt Plug

Although both of these toys go inside of the anus, they differ slightly in the way they provide stimulation. As you likely already know, a butt plug has a solid bulb at the end of the plug. When this bulb slides inside of your butt, it applies a constant sense of internal pressure (i.e., “fullness”).

Anal anchors also provide fullness, but in a different way. When the end of an anal anchor enters your rectum, the ends spread apart from each other. This offers a sense of fullness using the ends, rather than using a bulb to provide constant pressure.

How to Choose the Best Anal Anchor 

Whether you’re a first-time user or an experienced anal connoisseur, there are a number of different factors for you to consider when selecting an anal anchor. The first is size. You need to consider not only length, but girth as well. What size is “just right”?

You also want to consider the shape, both for aesthetics and functionality. How the ends bend outward will affect how the toy feels internally, whereas the shape of the ends (tapering) will affect how easy—or not easy—the toy is to insert.

Lastly, you need to consider the materials that your new toy is made from. This choice will affect the longevity of the toy, as well as its physical feel. Material choice will also determine the type(s) of lube you can safely use with the toy, so—if you have a preferred type of lubricant—you should put some thought into this factor.

FAQ

Are anal anchors safe to use?
Yes, anal anchors are safe to use as long as you use an appropriate size for your experience level, apply enough lubrication, and don’t share the toy(s) with others.
How long can I wear my anal anchor for?
As anal anchors are not intended for long-term wear, we would not recommend wearing one continually for more than 30 minutes.
What if my anal anchor gets stuck?
Don’t worry: your anal anchor won’t get stuck! Although it may look like the toy is non-removable, the ends of the non-metal anchor are bendable and can be easily removed from your anus.
Can I use my anal anchor for partner play?
Of course! Anal anchors are great for both solo play and partner play. Some models (like the clear anchor listed above) are even designed with partner play in mind!
What type of lubrication should I use?
Water-based lubricant is our go-to recommendation because it can be safely used with any type of sex toy material! Although it is possible that your anal anchor could be safely used with other types of lube, we recommend checking the manufacturer’s recommendations before trying it.

What is an Anal Anchor?

An anal anchor is a unique type of butt plug that’s designed to expand inside of the anus when inserted, “anchoring” itself in place.

Since it uses a high-pliable TPR, you won’t have any issues getting this bad boy comfortably inside. However, since the toy itself isn’t very big, some users may find the experience a bit underwhelming (if that’s the case, we recommend checking out one of the alternative options below).

Still, as a beginner-friendly ass anchor, we think this toy performs quite well. Affordably priced and easy to use, what’s not to love!?

Conclusion

This anal anchor has a number of positive points. First, its size makes it appealing to more experienced anal enthusiasts (although there are larger toys available). Secondly, it’s made of silicone, which makes it a higher-quality option than many alternative toys.

Despite being of higher quality, it’s also very affordable. Really, the only drawback of this toy is the fact that it can’t be used with silicone lube. This comes down to personal preference though: if you prefer to use silicone lube then you may be better off with another toy. However, if you don’t mind being limited to water-based lubricants, this toy is a good option!

Once inside, the flares will expand, stimulating from the inside for an extra “fill”. If you’re tired of regular old black plugs and want something different, this unique anchor anal plug could be worth adding to your collection!

Conclusion

The main appeal of this anchor butt plug is the fact that it’s clear. For some, this could open up a lot of sexy opportunities. For others, it’s a moot point. Either way, it’s definitely something unique!

Beyond this fact, the ass anchor is fairly standard, being made of a TPR compound that’s flexible enough to easily fit inside while firm enough to provide excellent internal stimulation. We liked the fact that it’s affordably priced, which—combined with its relatively average size—makes it a good option for someone who’s tried anal play before (but has never owned an ass anchor!).

You know we couldn’t make it through this list without offering at least one vibrating option! This particular anchor anal plug has plenty of vibes to go around, offering 10 different modes for you to experiment with and enjoy.

Easily controlled via the wired remote (which is powered by three AAA batteries), this toy is perfect for solo enjoyment or with a partner.

The size alone may be rather average, but don’t let that deceive you. Once you turn the vibrations on, the difference between this and your average toy becomes clear. Enjoy!

Conclusion

As a basic vibrating toy, this anal anchor checks off all the boxes. It offers a fairly wide range of vibration modes, has a remote control, and is affordably priced. While it would have been nice if the unit was rechargeable, it’s not that hard to find AAA batteries, so this isn’t the worst alternative (given the price point).

That said, the wired remote will be a turn-off for some. While—due to its location—the wire shouldn’t get in the way too much, we think a wireless approach would have been preferable. This will be more of an issue if you’re using it with a partner, which is why we’d probably say this toy shines brightest at solo play.

Still, if you don’t mind dealing with the wire in exchange for an affordable price, we think this ass anchor provides a good value for the money.

Last on our list is perhaps the most visually intimidating: the Master Series Claw Expanding Anal Dilator! Unlike a regular anal anchor (which only has two ends), this toy has four, giving it the signature “claw” look.

Size is another major advantage of this toy: it measures 4.5” long and spreads 4.25” wide when opened. Once its lotus-like points spread inside, the toy will sit securely in place until the deed is done.

Want to up the ante and have twice the fun? Then you can’t go wrong with the Master Series Claw Anal Dilator!

Conclusion

If you’re looking for the most internal stimulation possible then The Claw is a no-brainer. With four ends instead of two, this unique anchor butt plug is the peak of ass anchor design! The TPR material is highly bendable so—despite looking extremely intimidating—the toy is actually easy to use & comfortable to place.

As usual, silicone would have been a nice alternative to the TPR material we’ve become accustomed to seeing, but given the low price point, we think this is a forgivable shortcoming. If you’re a fan of larger anal toys but want something a bit more stimulating than the traditional two-end design, we think the lotus design of this ass anchor will serve you well!

How to Safely Use Sex Toys Made of TPR?

As you’ve probably noticed, most butt plug anchor toys are made from TPR. This observation may leave you wondering if there are any special steps you’ll need to take to use your toy safely. Fortunately, using an anal anchor plug made from TPR isn’t much different than using any other sex toy. As usual, you should always make sure to only use high-quality, phthalate-free toys. It’s also important to wash your toy in-between uses and store them away from the sun.

However, one thing that’s specific to TPR toys is condom usage. If you do decide to use a condom, make sure to use a non-lubricated condom. Pre-lubricated condoms often contain silicone lubricant on the inside, which can damage your TPR toy. Instead, buy a non-lubricated condom & just apply water-based lube yourself.

Anal Play Safety Guide

If you’re considering using an anchored flared butt plug, chances are, you’re already fairly familiar with anal play safety. However, if this is your first time using an anchor ass toy—or any other type of butt toy—then here’s what you’ll need to know.

  • Use lubricant. Since the anus isn’t self-lubricating, you’ll need to apply lubrication yourself. Don’t be afraid to go overboard: you can never have too much lube when it comes to anal play!
  • Start small. Rushing into using toys that are too big for you will not only be painful, but it could even lead to injury! Take your time and give your anus time to adjust to your current toy size before moving on to increasingly larger toys.
  • Look out for flared bases. If a toy is anal safe then it will have a flared base. Never use a toy without a flared base, as these can easily slide into & get lost inside your rectum. If this happens, you’ll likely need to go to the ER to have the toy removed: not good!

How to Use an Anal Anchor

Using an anal anchor is quite simple. However, if you’ve never used one before then the idea may seem a bit intimidating. Let’s quickly go over how to do it!

How to Use an Anal Anchor

Choose & Check Your Toy

Choose & Check Your Toy

First, select which toy you want to use and give it a quick check. You not only want to ensure that the toy is clean, but you’re also keeping an eye out for any damage (such as tears, cracks, or splits).

Apply Lubrication

How to Use an Anal Anchor

With your toy selected and your bottom rearing to begin, it’s now time to start applying lube. Make sure that the type of lube you’re using is compatible with your toy, and then begin applying the lube. You’ll want to apply the lube to both your anus and to the toy itself.

Insert & Adjust

Once the toy is lubed up, grab the end of the toy and hold the ends together until they’re shaped like a regular butt plug. From here, insert the toy into your anus. Feel free to add more lubrication as needed. Once the plug is inside, the ends will expand, holding the anal anchor in place.

How to Clean an Anal Anchor

Once you’re done using your anal anchor (and before, if you’ve just purchased a new one), it’s time to clean the toy. Fortunately, you won’t need very much to get the job done! Use antibacterial soap and warm water to clean the toy. We recommend cleaning it first with soap and water, then rinsing it off using water only. If your toy is made of silicone (and doesn’t contain any electrical components), then you can also sterilize it by dropping the toy in boiling water for a minimum of five minutes. After the toy has been cleaned and/or sterilized, pat the toy dry using a cloth or towel. Leave the toy out to air dry completely before storing it away. Avoid storing your anal anchor(s) away while they’re still damp, as the moisture can cause bacteria to grow!

Porous
materials

Soft plastic, hard plastic, jelly, rubber, Cyberskin are all porous materials, meaning that small particles and bacteria can penetrate the surface. This makes it impossible to completely clean these types of materials.

Therefore, it is recommended that you use a condom with these types of toys, especially if you are sharing them. Clean these toys with mild soapy water and dry gently with a towel. These materials are more easily damaged, so be sure to be gentle and make sure your toys are completely dry before storing.

Non-propous
materials

Silicone, glass, stainless steel and some hard plastics can all be washed using a mild soap (like you would use on your body) and warm water. Just be careful if your toy contains electrical parts.

Silicone and stainless steel toys without any electrical parts can also be boiled for sterilisation.

The toys with electrical
components

If your toys contain electrical components, be extra careful when cleaning them and always check the instructions provided with the toy. You can use a gentle cloth and soap to wipe or sex toy cleaner or cleaning wipe to down your toy, making sure that no water comes into contact with the electrical parts.
