Test Winner Lovehoney Curved Silicone Suction Cup Dildo 7 Inch
- Curved to target g-spot or p-spot
- Hollow base to allow for a bullet vibrator
- Strong suction cup
- Harness compatible
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Can be used hands-free
- ✅ Versatile uses
- ✅ Smooth silicone
Cons
- ❌ Too rigid for some
Why I Chose It
I chose the Lovehoney Curved Suction Cup Dildo as the overall best anal dildo as it’s just a great all-round anal dildo at a very accessible price! In my years of testing dildos and anal toys, I’ve learned that sometimes, simpler is better, and this dildo is a perfect example of that!
The simplicity of this dildo left our tester, Ashley, a little underwhelmed at first, but she soon changed her mind once she tried it!
“My first impression of the Lovehoney Curved 7″ Silicone Suction Cup Dildo was a little underwhelming at first. It didn’t look like much, and I wasn’t sure what to think about it. After using it however, I changed my mind pretty quick!”
“The quality of the Lovehoney Curved 7″ Silicone Suction Cup Dildo is very good! The silicone doesn’t feel cheap, and it’s very smooth and soft. It’s sturdy, but still flexible as it needs to be for play.”
Dildos need to be a little more solid for anal play, as it can be very difficult to insert a soft, squishy dildo. I feel like the Lovehoney Curve has the perfect amount of flex to make it comfortable, pleasurable, and easy to use.
Ashley also put the suction cup to the test for us and was impressed by it’s staying power!
“I used the suction cup on my shower wall, which is pretty notorious for nothing sticking to it, especially my loofah holder!!! But it stuck really well, even for the interesting cup shape.”
Another reason I chose the Lovehoney Curved Suction Cup Dildo as the best anal dildo is the price! At under $30, it’s the cheapest dildo in the review and a real bargain for such a versatile dildo! Ashley also agreed!
“The Lovehoney Curved 7″ Silicone Suction Cup Dildo is priced at $26.99, this toy is a good bargain for someone strapped for cash.”
Runner Up Tantus Charmer G-Spot and P-Spot Dildo
- Slim shaft for easy insertion
- Rippled design adds stimulation
- Wide flat base can be used in a harness
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Ridges are pleasant without being overstimulating
- ✅ Firm but flexible
- ✅ Smooth silicone
Cons
- ❌ No suction cup
- ❌ Can turn around when in use
Why I Chose It
I think the Tantus Charmer is the best anal dildo I have used personally, which is why I had to pick it as the runner up! It’s not quite as much of an all rounder as the test winner, but it’s certainly a fantastic anal dildo, and I would recommend it without hesitation.
I initially bought the Tantus Charmer for vaginal use but realised I much preferred using this purple Charmer anally! The head is the widest part of the dildo and feels lovely to insert. I really like that the shaft slims towards the base as it allows your anus tighten around it and then stretch again as you remove it, and you can feel the head more as it’s inserted and removed.
The whole dildo is also relatively slim, meaning I don’t need to warm up before using it, and some days, I really cannot be bothered to get multiple toys out and have to clean them all after! Even though it’s quite slim, the ridges and some interest — they are pretty subtle but still add an almost rippling sensation without being irritating.
I also have to admit, the lovely shimmery purple design is originally what caught my eye and it was just luck that it happened to turn out being one of my favorite anal dildos!
The only thing that would make this even better would be a nice strong suction cup!
Best for Beginners Tantus Silk Medium
- Slim 1.1 inch shaft
- Wide, harness compatible base
- Tantus’ premium silicone
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Super smooth silicone
- ✅ Curved tip for easy insertion
- ✅ Great size for beginners
Cons
- ❌ No suction cup
- ❌ Could be underwhelming for more experienced people
Why I Chose It
I think the Tantus Silk is the ideal introduction to anal dildos! If I was to start my anal journey again, this is the dildo I would want to start it with!
The size and design isn’t intimidating in any way and is super easy to insert, while still being just big enough to be satisfying. Our tester, Kasia, was also fan of the Silk’s simplicity.
“I love the simplicity and the ease that comes with the Tantus Silk. It’s a perfect choice for those that are looking for a starter insertable toy, or just an easy and always accessible dildo.”
She did comment that it was a little small for her preferences for vaginal use but highlighted it was great for anal use.
“For me, the medium size turned out to be too small for a filling and stimulating experience, but I was not disappointed, I will definitely use it for foreplay, anal play, and many other fun and spicy bedroom activities!”
I also think this would make a fantastic pegging dildo as the wide base is designed to keep it steady in a harness. It is however a shame that it doesn’t have a suction cup base. I’m a fan of Tantus’ dildos in general and really love the quality of their silicone, but it is a shame they don’t tend to come with a suction cup base!
While the lack of texture might be underwhelming for some, this is what I think makes it such a great anal dildo for beginners — it’s so silky smooth that it will slide in with little resistance. I also have to agree with Kasia, the sparkly purple design is super cute!
“But what I really love about this dildo is the sparkly lavender color and non-realistic look, it’s just so fun and cute!”
Best vibrating Lelo Loki Wave 2 Rotating and Vibrating Prostate Massager
- 2 separate motors for internal and external vibrations
- Internal arm features WaveMotion technology to stroke back and forth in a come hither motion
- Easy to hold handle
Vibrations
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Dual stimulation for more pleasure
- ✅ WaveMotion targets prostate
- ✅ Luxurious look and feel
- ✅ Waterproof
Cons
- ❌ External arm is not flexible
- ❌ No remote control options
Why I Chose It
I know that Lovense Loki is primarily a prostate massager, but if there’s one thing I’ve learnt about anal toys, is that anyone with a butt hole can enjoy them whether you have a prostate or not, and we all have butt holes!
I chose this as the best vibrating anal dildo because it delivers so much! Not only does it stimulate internally and externally on the perineum, it also has an internal stroking sensation that mimics being fingered.
Our tester, Kasia, put the Loki to test on her partner and both were impressed by what it could do!
“The Lelo Loki Wave 2 is an amazing pleasure toy! It’s got strong vibrations and a nice “filling” shape. The “come here” motion of the Loki Wave is no joke. It’s not just a gimmick—it actually feels incredible. The way it moves and vibrates together is a unique sensation that my partner couldn’t get enough of. It quickly became our favorite toy for his pleasure.”
While I personally wouldn’t buy this anal vibrator if I was anal beginner, now I have more experience and know that I enjoy anal vibrations, I do think it’s worth the investment.
Kasia and her partner only had one thing they were missing with the Loki Wave.
“I only wished there was a better option for controlling the settings. A physical remote control would be a great addition, but overall I think it’s a really great male sex toy.”
Having tried many different anal toys in my years reviewing sex toys, I really agree! Having a wireless remote or app controls really is a game changer for anal toys!
Best Steel njoy Pure Wand Stainless Steel Dildo
- Dual ended design with a smaller and a larger end
- Intense curve makes it anal safe
- Steel can be heated or cooled
- Weight provides more intense massage
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Stainless steel is beautifully smooth
- ✅ Can be used with any lube
- ✅ Curve makes p-spot massage easy
Cons
- ❌ Can take some time to learn how to use
- ❌ May be too rigid for some
- ❌ Can become slippery with lube
Why I Chose It
The njoy Pure Wand was another pivotal sex toy in my sex toy expert journey! Honestly, I didn’t know whether to be amazed or terrified when I lifted this weighty hunk of metal from it’s beautiful presentation box — it was a pretty exciting combination of emotions.
My fears were very much alleviated when I realised how amazing that weight felt inside me. If you haven’t tried a stainless steel dildo before, I cannot recommend it enough! The smoothness is just perfect for anal exploration as there is no dragging or resistance whatsoever.
I also love that the curve and weightiness combined actually does some of the work for you, making it easier to use the ball for a deep, satisfying massage. I will admit though, it’s heavy to use and can get a bit tiring if you want to use it more vigorously!
I personally really like that the mid section is slim so your anus can close around it, but that is a different experience than a more representational dildo that’s roughly the same width all the way down the shaft.
Another reason I think this is one of the best anal dildos out there is it has two different sized ends to play with, so you can start small and work up to the bigger end!
It’s definitely a bit of an investment, but I strongly believe everyone should have one metal dildo in their collection and when you consider how versatile it is, the price is actually pretty reasonable. Not to mention, this thing will last forever! Archeologists of the future will be digging it up and theorising of it’s uses in years to come!
Best Glass Lovehoney Beaded Sensual Glass Dildo
- Made from safe and strong borosilicate glass
- 5 beads of graduating size
- Can be heated or cooled
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Wonderfully smooth
- ✅ Compatible with all lubes
- ✅ Beautiful design
Cons
- ❌ Might be too big for beginners
- ❌ Quite heavy
Why I Chose It
While you might be thinking putting glass inside you sounds a little dangerous, I want to assure that it is not only safe, but incredibly pleasurable! I’ve put countless hours into researching sex toy safety so can say with certainty this is a safe material. Borosilicate glass is extremely strong, shatter resistant, and can be heated or cooled.
The reason I chose to include a glass dildo as one of the best anal dildo is the beautiful smoothness and how easily it glides with a slick of lube. The curved, beaded design also provides a sensation similar to anal beads as it’s inserted and removed. Our tester, Emily, was also a big fan of the design.
“The Lovehoney Sensual Glass Beaded Dildo was longer, thicker, heavier, and more bulbous, which made for excellent stimulation both externally and internally.”
She also enjoyed being able to use it for some temperature play.
“We ran it under hot water to heat it to a warmer temp, close to normal body temp, and also put it in the fridge for about 20 minutes to get a cold sensation. Both the cold and hot sensations were very fun to experiment with, internally and externally.”
One thing I will add about this glass dildo is that it doesn’t have a large flared base, so be sure not to insert the last bead and instead use it as a handle only.
Most realistic Vixen Vixskin Johnny
- Dual density silicone for a realistic feel
- Realistic textures, prominent head and lifelike balls
- Available in 3 skin tones
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Super realistic design
- ✅ Handmade
- ✅ Can be used with a harness
Cons
- ❌ Might be too large for some users
- ❌ Expensive
- ❌ No suction cup base
Why I Chose It
Vixen Creations’ VixSkin dildos are life-changing. I’m not being at all dramatic when I say that! As a sex toy reviewer, I’ve tried all kinds silicone dildos, but nothing has come close the pleasure I have experienced with a VixSkin dildo. So while I haven’t tested the Johnny personally, I have tested the Buck and the Mustang so feel I have sufficient experience to sing these dildo’s praise from the rooftops!
The reason I went with the Johnny over the Buck or the Mustang as the best realistic anal dildo is that is sits happily between the two size wise and the balls add even more realism!
Our tester, Kasia, was also impressed by just how realistic the Vixen Johnny was on all levels.
“Johnny is the most realistic dildo, I’ve ever encountered! At first, I was a bit weirded out by how realistic it looked, but after some time, I started admiring how beautiful (and big!) this penis was. But this dildo is not just the looks, it does feel very similar to an erect penis.”
It was even enough to convert her to enjoying realistic dildos!
“I was never a big fan of huge realistic dildos… but then I met Johnny. With his looks, perfect proportions, soft, juicy skin, and those dreamy balls, I knew Johnny was special! I am convinced that when Vixen was designing this dildo, they wanted to create the ideal penis.”
Her one complaint was that the base could do with a suction cup.
“I also like the addition of the flat base, although I think it’s a bit too big, and operating it solo is not super easy, but I don’t think it’s a big issue. Plus, thanks to the base, this dildo is anal-safe and you can use it with a harness!”
This is the dildo I would reach for if I wanted to recreate the sensation of anal sex is the most realistic feeling way possible.
Depth Training SquarePegToys Slink
- Available in 6 different sizes
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Made from 100% body-safe silicone
- ✅ Unique design
- ✅ Flared base
- ✅ Super soft
Cons
- ❌ Not made for beginners
- ❌ No suction cup
- ❌ Very slippery
- ❌ It can't stand on it's own
- ❌ Hard to use if you're unexperienced
Why I Chose It
The Slink from SquarePegToys is a truly a toy to marvel at! I consider myself pretty experienced when it comes to anal play, but I’ve not delved into depth play. However, our tester, George, is something of an expert so he knows what’s what when it comes to long anal dildos!
Of all the dildos he’s tried, the slink is one of his favorites and he gave it a perfect score of 5/5!
“I am currently yet to find any better toy for anal satisfaction. This is my favourite and I often take it with me on holidays. The price is high, but silicone costs a lot so it’s understandable.”
He admits a it’s a big toy but enjoys the challenge this large anal toy presents and satisfaction that comes with it.
“The top is very wiggly and easily slides in, however as soon as you get to the bottom bulb, the struggle begins. It’s a great type of struggle.”
“For me, twisting it slowly worked. Once you conquered the depth, the bulge at the end is another challenge. This is simply a patience game and once you manage to push it all the way in, you feel some sort of weird satisfaction.”
From my perspective as a sex toy expert, the Slink also ticks a lot of the boxes for a good depth play toy – it’s made of body-safe silicone, which can be harder to find in larger toys, has a nice tapered tip, and is flexible enough to bend with the shape of your insides!
It goes without saying that this is not a beginners toy, but if I wanted to explore depth play, this would be a great option. It’s good to remember that you don’t have to insert all of it at once and can slowly work up to taking more and more over time.

Choosing the Right Anal Dildo for You
There’s a fair amount of variation in styles and sizes of anal dildos as well as how you can use them. With that in mind, here are some things to consider to help you choose the right one for:
- Flared base — I put this at the top of the list as this is the most important thing you must have in an anal dildo. Without a flared base or something similar to anchor the dildo outside your body, you risk it getting stuck inside you and possible doing some serious damage.
- Size — I would say that diameter is more important as you can control how much length you want to insert, but the butt hole is very sensitive to stretch so even a dildo that is slightly bigger than what you are used to will feel quite noticeable. The slimmest dildo in this review is the Tantus Silk and the thickest is either the Vixen VixSkin Johnny or the SquarePegToys Slink.
- Rigidity — I would say for ease of use, dildos with a bit of firmness are easier to insert. Besides that, the firmer the dildo, the more intense you can massage you hot spots. If you love deep penetrating massage I would check out the njoy Pure Wand or the Lovehoney Beaded Glass Dildo.
- Suction cup base – If you want to enjoy your anal dildo hands-free, look for one that comes with a suction cup base. The Lovehoney Curved Dildo has a nice strong suction cup! As
- Texture — As the anus tends to be more sensitive to texture than a vaginal opening, if you are new to anal play, I recommend going for a smoother dildo, like the Tantus Silk, Lovehoney Curved Dildo, or the Tantus Charmer.
What Makes a Dildo Anal-Safe?
Materials and design are the two main considerations when determining whether or not a dildo will be a suitable deep anal dildo.
High-quality materials such as glass, stainless steel, or silicone are preferred as these can be sanitized and generally don’t contain nasty additives like phthalates.
However, this is pretty universal among sex toys: always opt for body-safe materials!
When it comes to using an anal dildo specifically, it’s important to use a dildo with a flared base.
Even if it’s a long anal dildo, if it doesn’t have a base, it’s still possible to lose the dildo inside of your anus.
Having a flared base eliminates the risk of losing your toy, allowing you to enjoy anal stimulation stress-free!
Anal Dildo Materials
Some materials are better than others.
Get educated about the best anal dildo materials below!
Silicone – Non-porous, flexible, and soft to the touch, silicone is one of the best materials for anal dildos!
Glass – Non-porous, firm, and smooth to the touch, glass is another great material for anal dildos (just made sure it’s crack or impact-resistant!).
Metal – Non-porous, rigid, and perfect for temperature play, metal can be a good or bad choice. Check to see which metal is used and what ingredients (such as nickel) it contains to prevent allergic reactions.
PVC – Porous, pliable, and often found to contain toxic additives, PVC is one of the materials we’d recommend avoiding.
TPE – Porous, flexible, and soft to the touch, the quality of TPE can vary widely between manufacturers. Always check to make sure there aren’t any toxic additives before using a TPE toy. Even so, silicone is always a better option since it can be sanitized, which is ideal for internal use.
Things to Consider When Buying an Anal Dildo
Now we’ve given you some great options to choose from, here are some things to consider before buying an anal dildo.
By considering these simple things first, you can choose the ideal addition for your anal adventures.
Buy From a Trusted Brand
Choose a brand well known for producing high-quality sex toys, even better if they are known for their dildos.
You can also read the reviews to get a better idea of a company or product.
Look for a brand that puts your satisfaction and safety first.
Choose a Design That Excites You
The fantastic thing about anal dildos is that there truly is something for every taste from realistic to artistic. Take the time to find a dildo that excites all your senses. Does how it looks and feels have you excited to get it out of the box and get down to play?
If you are looking for something truly out of this world, check out Bad Dragon. Their crazy collection of fantasy phalluses will blow your mind! We think the Echo is one of the best bad dragon dildos for anal play but the choices are endless!
Check the Insertable Length
Insertable toys will have a total length and insertable length, but different companies and brands display different information.
Always check the insertable length, as this is what will be inside your body.
This is especially important if you buy a suction cup dildo that you want to ride on a chair or horizontal surface, as it’s more difficult to control the depth.
Check the Circumference or Diameter
Anal dildos will also have a measurement for the circumference or girth (the distance around the shaft) or diameter (the measurement across the shaft).
This allows you to choose a size that’s appropriate to your body.
Again, pay close attention as some brands use circumference and some use diameter.
Consider the Shape
Variety truly is the spice of life, and it’s no different when it comes to anal dildos. The shape of your toy influences where the stimulation is focussed.
If you want some delicious g-spot or p-spot stimulation, go for something with specially designed curves.
Anal dildos should always feature a flared base so there’s no danger of the whole toy entering your body.
Find Out What Materials Are Used
As you are going to get pretty intimate with your new toy, is important to know what it is made of and what that means.
Anal dildos come in many different materials but the best ones are made of non-porous, body-safe materials, such as silicon, glass, steel, and wood.
Non-porous materials are safer as they are easier to sanitize.
Porous materials, such as latex and rubber, are usually cheaper but cannot be completely sterilized.
Products We Don't Recommend and Why
There are a lot of popular products on the market that use porous materials, which allow bacteria and germs to build up in the toy — definitely not something you want in an anal dildo!
We recommend sticking to non-porous materials, such as silicon, glass, steel, and wood.
Also, some materials, such as PVC can cause irritation. You can read more about it here.
Here are some popular anal toys that unfortunately use porous or unsafe materials.
If you do buy sex toys made from porous materials, bear in mind that although it is often cheaper, they will not be safe to use for a long time.
Check out the toys in our review for some better options!
Lovehoney Get Started Beginner's Anal Kit
Although this anal kit has everything you need to enter the world of anal play, it is made from soft plastic so cannot be fully sterilized.
Doc Johnson Crystal Jellies Anal Starter Dildo
This crystal jelly dildo is made from PVC, which is a cheap material that feels soft but is unfortunately porous and can cause irritation.
BASICS Slimline Anal Starter Dildo 6 Inch
Although the size and shape of this dildo make it an ideal starter anal dildo, the materials let it down. Soft plastic is porous and cannot be fully sterilized.
Why Should I Buy an Anal Dildo?
If you are wondering whether you need an anal dildo, here are some pros of owning one!
Let’s see if I can convince you how fun having an anal dildo can be!
Pure Pleasure
Anal play is the best way to explore your body, experience new sensations and enhance your pleasure.
The anus is full of sensitive nerve endings, and stimulating them with an anal dildo can feel truly amazing!
Prostate Stimulation
For prostate owners, using an anal dildo can be a great way to stimulate the prostate gland and experience intense pleasure.
You can use an anal dildo during your regular masturbation to add additional stimulation or explore the power of deep prostate orgasms!
Double Penetration
Being able to feel the pleasure of DP is a big win!
You can explore it with your partner or use multiple toys; either way, all your sweet spots will be very happy.
Control
Using an anal dildo allows you to have complete control over the depth, angle, and pressure during your anal play.
It not only feels empowering but can also help with making anal sex with your partner more comfortable.
Bedroom Fun
Just like with any sex toy, adding a new toy to your bedroom can provide you with a new level of variety and excitement during solo or partner play.
