Testing and rating the best anal stretchers
When it comes to these anal stretchers, our testing process is simple: look at each and every one of them objectively and study the downsides as well as the upsides. In fact, we’ve looked into the subject for that long that we’ve put over 60 hours into this anal stretcher review alone! We don’t aim to be biased. And do you want to know something? We do everything in our power to remain as unbiased as possible, weighing up the pros and cons and coming up with a fair and balanced review. And you really can trust us – we’ve tried, tested, and reviewed over 300 different sex toys! So we really are somewhat of an expert on the matter!
Types of anal stretcher
There’s not just one type of anal stretcher. That would be boring really, wouldn’t it! There are in fact quite a few different kinds! So let’s take a look at some of the most popular anal stretchers available!
- Anal training kits – This special type of kit allows you to start to train your butt to take larger and larger objects. As well as coming with several plugs, anal training kits often include a lube applicator, and a douche to help you clear out before you get going. They tend to be great sets whether you’re an expert or only just starting out!
- Dilator kits – Helping you gradually stretch your anus, dilator kits come in a gradually increasing size and can be swapped out for the next step-up as you go along and accommodate the stretch. They’re not so much intended to be put in and left as you would with a butt plug, but still a great stretching option.
- Inflatable butt plugs – If you’re looking for some control then inflatable butt plugs allow you to have some say in the size of your stretch. Simply insert it and start to pump it up until you’re happy with the width. Easy to use and with amazing results, they also feature a quick-release valve to allow for quick and simple removal.
- Butt plug sets – As the name suggests, these sets come with an array of butt plugs that range from small to large. Great to insert and leave in, butt plugs will gradually stretch you while you do other things. Simply swap it for the next size up when you’re ready!
How to choose the best anal stretcher
Okay so we’ve been through the different kinds of anal stretchers there are out there, but how do you find the best one for you? What do you need to look for? Well, let’s take a look through a few options!
- Size – When it comes to anal stretchers, size matters! You want an anal stretcher that firts you just right and can provide the level of stretch that you require. Always remember to start off smaller than you need to though, as you can easily work your way up in size. Starting out too large could cause some real damage!
- Material – The material of an anal stretcher is important! Some materials really are better than others. Our recommendation would be to look out for silicone toys, as they are body-safe and easy to keep clean. On the other end of the scale avoid PVC stretchers as they contain harmful chemicals that could be harmful to you and your body!
- Shape – Some anal stretchers are tapered, some are a uniform shape, some even expand and change their shape! Whichever you want, there’s an anal stretcher out there that will suit and please your butt.
- Size increase in kit – The size increase is important, as we discussed in one of our blog posts! You want to be able to gradually get larger and larger, so you need to look for a kit that can provide that experience. If you get a kit with multiple dilators or butt plugs, you should get a nice variety of sizes.
- Base shape – It is essential that your anal stretcher has a flared base to stop it from being full inserted. A t-shaped base sits more comfortably between your cheeks, making it comfier if you are wearing your plug for longer.
Which size to choose
Now here we’d normally talk about the different sizes for beginner users, those that are at a more intermediate stage, and advanced anal players. But with an anal stretcher kit, you tend to get something for everyone! The nature of the beast is that it stretches and expands your anus, so there is a small, starter dilator to kick things off with. This then moves up to more chunky, medium-sized dilators that will provide a challenge for some, until you work your way up to the largest of the dilators that only anal stretching experts could handle! So if you’re unsure about size, go for a kit – they have a little bit of something for everyone!

Doesn’t come with lubricantExpensiveOnly available in blueThis kit comes so close to being the perfect starter kit, but they left out the most important part: lubricant! Although someone who’s familiar with butt play would know that they’d need lube to use these plugs, it’s not really fair to expect a complete novice to know this ahead of time. As a result, there’s likely been a fair few people who’ve bought this kit only to find out that they now had to wait for a bottle of lube. b-Vibe, you can do better! Besides this massive shortcoming, the kit does actually offer everything else you’ll need, complete with three unique butt plugs, a douche, a guide to butt play, a lubricant applicator (oh, the irony!), and a travel case for all of your new gear.
Buddy Silicone Butt Plug by Vixen
As anal stretchers go, this one is definitely on the small side, but it’s the perfect option for someone who’s still working their way up to
a regular plug. The tip of this toy is roughly as thick as a finger and gradually gets larger as you shove the anal stretcher further inside of your bum. Unlike many beads, this toy doesn’t have aggressive ridges, making it extra comfy and friendly towards first-timers. Thanks to the flared base, you’ll never have to worry about losing this stretcher inside of you, and it also doubles as an easy handhold if you decide to use the toy as a dildo instead. More experienced users will probably want to pass this one by, but for all you first-timers out there, this purchase is a no-brainer!

Easy to sterilizeTapered designDoubles as a dildoHarness compatibleDoesn’t stay in place wellOnly 1.25 inches wideOnly 3.4 inches of insertable lengthThis toy is about as small of an anal stretcher as one might want. Its tapered design ensures a pleasant entry/exit, and although the toy does have a single bulb, the knot isn’t aggressively shaped, which works both for & against you. On the positive side, you’ll easily be able to fill yourself up with this toy, even if you’ve never used a butt plug before! On the other hand, since the knot is pretty gentle, it’s a struggle to keep this toy in place, particularly if you’re trying to wear it during sex. While we definitely recommend this for solo sessions, we’d try something with a bit more aggressive bumps if you want to stay “filled” during your next lovemaking session!
Inspire Silicone Dilator Training Set
This dilator training set is perfect for anyone dealing with penetration problems. For virgins or those with vaginismus, these dilators offer a pain-free way to work towards larger toys & real sex. For people who’ve never tried butt play before, they can also be used as an anal stretcher set! This set is designed to help you progress over time & repeated use, exploring yourself & learning more about your body all the while. The silicone body of each dilator is easy to control using the finger loops, putting you in the driver’s seat & allowing you to progress at your own pace. We don’t even need to tell you that they work: just look at all the vaginismus success stories in the reviews!

The primary purpose is to help you get used to & gradually increase insertable size, so while you can definitely use these dilators to get off, pleasure comes second to progress with this kit. Still, if vaginal or anal sex is your end goal, then this kit will definitely help you get there. Our only complaint is the size difference between dilator four and five: it’s over half an inch longer and a quarter-inch wide! You may need to spend a bit of extra time using #4 before you work your way up to #5, but consistent use is the key to success. If you use this kit on a routine basis, you’ll be enjoying painless, penetrative sex in no time!
Booty Call Silicone Inflatable Butt Plug
Love anal toys but want something a bit more intense than a simple plug? If that sounds like you, then the Booty Call Silicone Inflatable Butt Plug might just provide the challenge you’ve been in search of! Unlike regular butt plugs, this particular anal stretcher is size-adjustable, using a simple pump to inflate or deflate the plug to the perfect size. The simple setup makes this asshole stretcher great for use during a solo session, although it can also be good for couples (assuming you completely trust your partner!). If anal training is on your list of goals for this year then this toy is sure to help you meet—if not exceed—the plug size you’re aiming for!

Can be used anally or vaginallyEasy to operateInserts easilyHose location isn’t idealPlug fills up lopsidedQuality could be improvedOne problem that many people run into when using an anal stretcher set is the large size difference between plugs. That’s not an issue you’ll have with this inflatable plug, since the easy-to-use pump allows you to have complete control of the plug as it fills you up from the inside. Unfortunately, the construction of this toy isn’t ideal so you might notice it’s a little lopsided. Still, most people overlook this once they realize just how big this little toy can go! If you want a toy that will take your hole from tight to giant (without needing to upsize your toy every so often) then this inflatable anal stretcher is surely worth checking out.
Tantus Cowboy Extra Long Anal Probe
So, even the inflatable was way too small? No worries—here’s one that you’ll definitely struggle with! At fifteen inches long, the Tantus Cowboy has six graduating beads, beginning at the one-inch wide tip all the way to the 2.8-inch width of the sixth bead! Obviously for extremely experienced users only, this anal stretcher will likely be one of the last butt toys you buy. In fact, many people have to work their way up to fit the entire probe inside of them, allowing you to relieve the anal training experience of your earlier days. While the price itself might be a bit of a shock, you definitely won’t regret your new toy once you hold this behemoth in your hands!

The massive beads offer a plethora of pleasure just waiting to be inserted; of course, you’ll need a lot of lube first! This silicone toy is high-quality, easy to sterilize, and definitely offers a lot of room for growth, which is important considering its sky-high asking price. On the plus side, once you get used to using 1.6” beads, you can just buy this probe & be set for the rest of your days. While it’s technically possible to fit this entire toy inside of your anus, there aren’t too many who have successfully reached this milestone. Up for the challenge? It’s just a few clicks away!
Wellness Silicone Dilator Kit by Blush
Some people like to try and go big right away, but others enjoy easing their way into new things. If you consider yourself to fall into the latter category, then perhaps you should consider this cute dilator kit. Although it’s marketed as a vagina dilator kit, you can also use them as an anal stretcher set. If you’ve never shoved anything inside of your bum before then the size will be perfect, as the thinnest dilator is only half an inch wide! You’ll have three more dilators to work your way up through, finally reaching 1.25” inches wide. Once you get here, you’ll probably be comfortable enough to start looking at other toys. To get started, simply grab your size of dilator, some water-based lube, and begin your anal training journey!

However, there are some people who struggle to fit so much as a pinky up their bum, and this kit is perfect for those people. The heart-shaped base on each dilator removes any worries of losing the toys inside of you (although we still wouldn’t recommend using an anal stretcher for long-term wear like you would a butt plug). The girth may not increase much, but the length increases drastically, so if you’re looking to simulate anal sex with a progressively bigger penis then these will work for that purpose. Made of silicone & easy to clean, they clearly aren’t for everyone but still met our expectations overall.
Mood Naughty Pride Silicone Butt Plug Set
If your idea of the perfect anal training journey involves all-day use, you’ll probably want a plug set that’s comfortable even after being in for hours. The Mood Naughty Pride Silicone Butt Plug Set is practically made for this purpose! For less than $30, you get three increasingly-larger butt plugs, complete with comfortable t-plug bases for easy insertion/removal. The tapered tips make it easy to fit these plugs inside of your bum, even if you’ve never used an anal toy before, and the “confetti”-style coloring is sure to put a smile on your face. Work your way from under an inch to over an inch with this lovely silicone butt plug set!

Easy to cleanThree separate plugsT-base designComfortablePlug base extends to the vaginaMaterial attracts lintRelatively smallIf you’ve ever stuck a finger up your bum & instantly knew you wanted more, then this kit is the ideal size for you! Each works perfect as an anal stretcher, offering a slightly more filling experience with each plug. For men, wearing these all day is extremely comfortable & safe thanks to the t-base design. Unfortunately, it’s this same design that may make the plugs less-than-ideal for women, as the t-bar reaches the vagina & may irritate it with long-term wear. It also gets in the way if you’re trying to have forward-facing sex, meaning you’d be better off buying a flared-based plug if you just want to spice up your sex routine. All in all, we definitely recommend it for men. For the ladies, however, it depends on how long you plan to keep this toy inside!
Odile Butt Plug Dilator
Made for those who value not only control but also precision, the Odile Butt Plug Dilator is a unique anal stretcher that allows you to stretch your hole by the millimeter! Unlike most of the anal stretcher toys on this list, the Odile is made specifically for dilation, not stimulation. This means that while it will help you prepare for inserting a bigger toy or a real penis, the dilator itself probably won’t drive you to orgasm. Still, if you struggle to fit in larger toys then the Odile could be the perfect way to ensure a pain-free insertion every time, which is sure to improve your sex life overall! You’ll also be able to track your progress over time, thanks to the precise per-millimeter adjustability.

Although it’s not really a sex toy, it’s definitely a useful toy when it comes to anal prep and progressive overall. Even if you’re not using it to prep for butt sex or toy insertion, this dilator allows you to keep track of your maximum comfortable diameter. Keep track of these numbers and you’ll be able to see your progress as the days pass by! Unfortunately, this tool costs nearly $100. Whether or not it’s worth this price ultimately depends on how often you’ll use the item. You’ll need to be able to fit the 1-inch tip inside of you before you’re even able to start dilating, and the device itself only expands to 1.5-inches wide. We’d recommend trying to find it on sale if you can!
They-ology 5-Piece Silicone Anal Training Set
Work your way from light blue to dark with this five-piece anal training set from CalExotics! Even the untrained anus shouldn’t have any trouble inserting the smallest plug (2.6 inches long, .54 inches wide), but you’ll have an entire set ahead of you to train up through! Designed for maximum comfort and easy insertion, these silicone plugs are ideal for daily discreet use and allow you to track your progress as the weeks pass by. Each anal stretcher has a t-style base for each insertion/removal, eliminating any worries of the toy getting lost in your behind. Seemingly designed for the wary but intrigued beginner, this kit offers a great bang for your buck!
