How We Reviewed These Anal Pumps

When it comes to anal pumping, you want to make sure that you’re buying a top-notch product. Though they may be quite simple in design, these devices can be quite expensive, making it important to make sure the pump you buy is the best option for you.

 

It’s always good to have options, which is why we’ve gathered three anal pumps with unique designs that we think are worth checking out. Each product has been rated based on design, ease of use, quality, and other noteworthy factors.

 

In addition to our own personal assessment of each product, we’ve also taken user feedback into account. This allows us to provide the comprehensive, unbiased sex toy reviews that you have come to expect from Bedbible!

Pros and Cons of Using an Anal Pump

Many people enjoy using anal pumps, but that doesn’t mean doing so is entirely risk-free. Before we begin, let’s take a quick look at the pros and cons of using an anal pump.

 

Pros:

  • Can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of gender
  • Works with any level of anal play experience
  • Perfect for anal training
  • Stimulates the prostate

 

Cons:

  • Pumps are generally easier to use with a partner
  • Process may be confusing for beginners
  • Injury is possible
  • Expensive

FAQ

Is anal pumping safe?
Yes, anal pumping (when done externally) is safe, although you should never pump to the point where it becomes painful. Use common sense!
Who can use an anal pump?
People of any gender can enjoy using an anal pump!
How long can I use an anal pump for?
There isn’t a solid recommendation for this. However, we would suggest limiting your sessions to 20 minutes or less.
Does silicone matter?
Ah, silicone. Well, when it comes to anal pumps, the only part that you’ll see made of silicone is the rod. While silicone is superior to acrylic (in the sense that it can be sterilized), whether or not it’s worth it is ultimately up to you.
What type of lubricant should I use?
Water-based lubricants are safe to use with any type of anal toy!

What is an Anal Pump?

An anal pump is a pump that is designed to be inserted into the anus, applying suction to the region. In addition to expanding the anus and increasing sensitivity, these toys can also be used to stimulate the prostate gland.

This rosebud pump cylinder is the high-quality anal pump that you need! Perfect for beginners and experienced users alike, its smooth rod makes it easy to insert and start pumping right away.

 

As the name would imply, this toy is sure to give your anus the “rosebud” effect, offering stimulating sensations and suction like you’ve never felt before!

 

It’s made of durable materials capable of standing up to a lot of suction. No worries though: a quick-release valve is built into the design of this anal rosebud pump cylinder. If the pressure gets to be too much, just use the value!

Conclusion

Like other rosebud pumps, this anal pump cylinder is built well, meaning you won’t have to worry about it breaking, warping, or otherwise malfunctioning (even with heavy suction!).

 

The design of the rod is quite simple, offering a smooth surface that can be easily inserted into the anus. While this makes it ideal for beginners, the lack of a varied surface may make it less appealing to users who desire more stimulation.

 

The price of this anal pump cylinder is quite high though, which could be discouraging for some users. While we do feel the quality justifies the price, it’s only worthwhile if you already own a pump (the Basic or Deluxe Hand Pump).

 

Otherwise, you may find a better value out of one of the other anal pump cylinders on this list.

If the previous anal pump cylinder seemed a bit too basic for your liking, then perhaps this next pick will meet your anal vacuum pumping needs.

 

Complete with a “stimulator shaft,” this anal suction pump cylinder offers two textures for you to enjoy while anal pumping.

 

Upon insertion, you’ll be instantly greeted by two bulbs built into the rod. As you begin to use your anal suction pump, you’ll feel your anus slide up the shaft of the rod, stimulated by ribs adorning the rod.

 

Enjoy various sensations and take your pumping sessions to the next level with this anal pump cylinder!

Conclusion

Like the previous anal pump cylinder, this cylinder is rather expensive. However, we think that it offers a better value for the (slightly lower) price.

 

Rather than a simple, smooth rod, this cylinder gives users a more complete experience, with both bulbs and integrated ribs to enjoy while pumping.

 

As with other cylinders, you’ll need to buy an anal pump separately. The listing doesn’t tell you which kind of cylinder it’s compatible with, but it does provide enough photos for you to be able to figure it out.

 

While we probably wouldn’t recommend this cylinder to complete beginners, for semi-experienced to experienced users, we think this offers the most bang for your buck.

Conclusion

If you’ve used anal toys before but are completely new to asshole pumping, we think this anal pump cylinder is a great option. Not only is it made from high-quality materials, but the beads themselves aren’t very wide. This makes it slightly more forgiving than alternative options.

 

It’s also very budget-friendly, which is definitely a plus as you’ll need to purchase an anal pump separately. That said, the limited diameter of the beads may make this toy understimulating to more advanced users.

 

If you prefer a rod that’s thicker than an inch, you’ll probably want to give this anal pump cylinder a pass. However, if 0.97 inches is wide enough for you and you want a silicone insert, then this rosebud anal pump cylinder is a great option!

Anal Pump Safety Rules

Like any other anal toy, you always want to make sure you use the appropriate amount of lube to lubricate the rod of your anal pump cylinder before inserting it. Applying a bit of lube around the edges of the cylinder may also help you get a better seal (i.e., better suction).

 

We recommend working your way up with the suction, rather than trying a high level of suction right from the get-go. Doing so will reduce the likelihood of skin tears.

 

Pumping over your “lips” will result in the “rosebud” effect, which is safe to do with minimal risk. However, some users pump from within the anus. This is not recommended.

How to Use An Anal Pump

Even if you’ve never used an anal pump before, the process is actually quite simple. Here’s how to get started!

How to Use An Anal Pump

Attach the Pump & Lubricate

Attach the Pump & Lubricate

First, you need to attach the pump to the pump cylinder. From here, you can begin to apply lube to your anus and to the pump rod. You may consider applying a little bit of lubrication around the lip of the cylinder as well (to help make a proper seal).

Insert the Rod

How to Use An Anal Pump

Next, you’ll need to insert the rod into your anus. As with any other anal toy, take your time and don’t force it in.

Pump Away!

Pump Away!

Now that you’ve lubricated and inserted the toy, make sure you have a good seal, and then start pumping. Enjoy!

How to Clean An Anal Pump

Cleaning an anal pump is quite simple as well! Some pumps use a detachable silicone rod, which can be sanitized by dropping it into boiling water for a minimum of five minutes. However, acrylic can’t be sanitized, so you’ll just need to clean the pump with warm water and antibacterial soap. We recommend cleaning it once using soap, then washing it off again using only warm water. When done, pat dry as much as possible then leave it out to air dry completely. Never store your toy away before it’s done trying, as this will promote bacterial growth!

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.
