6 Best Anal Toys

Why I Chose It

I’ve picked out the SquarePegToys Egg Plug as the Test Winner for today because it’s got great ratings all across the board. Our tester, Flora, was thoroughly impressed as well: “If you’ve never had a soft-silicone toy before, prepare to be amazed. Analyzing the properties of this material felt like studying an alien lifeform. It felt fleshy — like a firm, rubbery marshmallow.”

The platinum grade silicone has a unique elasticated formula that makes the toy itself super flexible, squishy and soft to the touch. I’ve often found that it can be difficult to find high quality materials that provide the same kind of softness that you get with TPE or TPR sex toys. In this case, you can enjoy a lovely squish and rest assured knowing that this butt plug is super easy to keep clean. Since it doesn’t contain any electric elements, it can easily be sterilized in boiling water for a deep clean.

Now, this flexible formula is a bit difficult to insert, so it’s not ideal for those with limited finger strength or dexterity. Although once it’s in there, it feels nice and comfortable. In my experience, silicone butt plugs are often so lightweight that they feel a bit underwhelmingly. Since this one actually has some weight to it, it’s going to be more noticeable than others.

“At first glance, it appeared as though there wasn’t enough of a taper from the neck to the base of the bulb. However, the soft material slightly compresses under the force of the sphincters. This made the girthy stem perfect for a satisfying squeeze and stretch.”

This satisfying squeeze and stretch is also ideal to enjoy for extended wear. Compared to a firm butt plug (made of firm silicone or metal, for example) a product this squishy feels a lot more comfortable and plush as you go about your day, both standing and sitting. The T-shaped base is also slightly curved to rest comfortably against your body while inserted.

Last but not least, the price point is a big plus! It’s super affordable compared to most other high quality silicone anal toys. The wide range of sizes and colors available also just makes this products a lot more accessible for different experience levels and preferences.

The njoy Pure Plug Small is one of the most impressive, beginner-friendly butt plugs that I’ve ever encountered. It has well thought-out design and superior quality. Made from premium 316 grade stainless steel, it offers a luxurious feel and durability that’s hard to beat. Plus, with proper care, it’s a toy that can last a lifetime, which is a major plus in my book.

What really stands out to me is the ergonomic design. While it isn’t super tapered, it’s actually incredibly easy to insert and remove (thanks to the loop handle). For our tester, Rachel, “the njoy Pure Plug is everything I want out of a butt plug. It’s smooth, weighty, easy to insert and remove, and feels really, really good.”

The slightly weighted sensation, at 140 grams, provides a delightful fullness without being too overwhelming. This is why it’s a fantastic option for beginners and intermediate users. For Rachel, the weight was a pleasant surprise, since it “felt substantial and satisfying inside. I wore it during PIV (penis in vagina) sex and loved every second of it!”

One of the things I appreciate most about stainless steel toys, in general, is their non-porous surface, and the Pure Plug Small is no exception. It doesn’t absorb any materials, which means that it’s super easy to clean and fully sterilize. It’s also compatible with silicone-based lube, which is sometimes preferred during anal play since it’s longer-lasting and thicker.

I actually had the pleasure of testing the Lovense Ridge myself! As someone who’s always been curious about anal toys that rotate, I was both excited and a bit intimidated when I first encountered the Lovense Ridge. The size and features seemed a bit daunting at first, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the experience!

The sensation is incredible, and the toy was surprisingly easy to insert and remove. Its firmness definitely helps with insertion, but what really stood out to me was the flexibility of the neck. This flexibility made the toy much more comfortable during sex, as it could move with my body rather than against it. The stem was also short enough to allow for comfortable vaginal penetration while it was in there.

While I don’t have a prostate, I can imagine the rotations would feel amazing if you do. For those like me who don’t, I found an unexpected pleasure using the toy vaginally. The hands-free g-spot stimulation it provided was a breath of fresh air, especially since I’m not typically a big fan of internal vibrations. Going forward, I definitely see myself using it with a condom for safe vaginal use without worrying about cross-contamination.

I picked out the Lovense Hush 2 as the best butt plug option because it’s a great quality item (as most Lovense products are). The smooth, non-porous silicone feels amazing, and the vibrations are deep and rumbly. The sleek, neutral design is perfect for those who don’t enjoy textured toys, and the rounded T-shaped base sits comfortably between the cheeks, which is ideal for extended wear.

What really sets the Hush 2 apart for me is the app control feature. The variety and customization you get with this app-controlled toy are simply unmatched. Flora, our tester, perfectly captured the experience during a session where the vibrations synced with music:

“Power increased in response to beats and lyrics forming some complex, rhythmic patterns. I turned on HiLo by Jack Stauber and saw fireworks before the finale of ‘Coconut Ranger.’ It was truly the most beautiful, prolonged orgasm I’ve ever experienced.”

All in all, the Lovense Hush 2 has earned a permanent spot in my butt plug hall of fame. The combination of its powerful, rumbly vibrations and smooth silicone construction makes it a pleasure to use, while the app controls add a whole new dimension of fun and customization. I’m also very appreciate of the three different sizes available so people of any and all experience levels get to enjoy it.

The Aneros Progasm stands out as one of the best prostate massagers on the market, particularly within the Aneros product lineup. Although it might look relatively simple at first glance, the sensations it delivers are anything but. Designed for direct contact with the prostate, this massager effectively massages and milks the prostate with every movement, eventually leading to mind-blowing orgasms.

Crafted from hard ABS plastic, the Aneros Progasm doesn’t have the real-feel quality of toys made from silicone or the intensity of metal. Silicone tends to feel softer and more forgiving, while steel is unyielding and slightly weighted. The hard plastic of the Progasm falls somewhere in between, offering a comfortable compromise.

The Progasm’s smart yet simple design is what makes it truly special. Its external “tabs” allow you to rock the massager back and forth inside you by contracting your pelvic floor muscles. This is a pretty unique and engaging way to stimulate the prostate completely hands-free.

This model is also one of the larger Aneros products, which means it applies more pressure to the prostate, generally elevating and speeding up the experience of pleasure. Our tester, Moe, highlighted its effectiveness for prostate relaxation and noted that it was a blast during sex: “My second favorite use of the Progasm is during sex. The more focused pressure makes sex and orgasm way more intense.”

Why I Chose It

I included the njoy Pure Wand in this review because it is a standout among metal dildos. This simple device is so darn versatile and is basically multiple sex toys in one product. While I’ve focused on its uses as an anal toy, this dildo is also amazing for vaginal penetration, external massage, temperature and sensation play, etc. You’re definitely getting a lot of bang for your buck with this one.

Its solid stainless steel construction provides a very weighty, firm internal massage that is unparalleled. If you’ve struggled to enjoy prostate or g-spot stimulation before, the njoy Pure Wand might be the game-changer you’ve been looking for. Its intense massage can truly transform your perception of internal pleasure.

Its versatility shines through in solo play, partnered play, and even when combined with other toys. The curve of the Pure Wand is perfect for easy and effective p-spot or g-spot stimulation, but it’s also fantastic for a sensual full-body massage. I always love a good double-ended dildo because you get to experience two different sensation in one product. In this case, the difference in size between the two bulbs is quite significant. To me, that’s a good sign of versatile pleasure.

The Pure Wand is not harness compatible, which might be a downside for some, but its range of uses more than makes up for this limitation.

Despite its higher price tag, I definitely think the njoy Pure Wand is a worthwhile investment. Of course, one of the great benefits of stainless steel toys, including the Pure Wand, is their ease of maintenance. With proper care, this metal dildo will last a lifetime, and you’ll have a companion for life.
