The most important thing to remember is to buy high-quality products, because your safety is paramount. Take your time, try out a few options, and find out what you like best. This way, your anal play journey will be fun, exciting, and fulfilling!

How to use anal toys

If you’re curious about anal toys but still a little unsure about where to start, you’re not alone. Here are our top tips to help make your experience pleasurable and safe:

1. Start slow

The most important tip is right at the top of our list: Take your time. Start out with smaller toys to get yourself used to the sensations. There are toys in all kinds of shapes and sizes, so choose something that you think will be comfortable for you. Small plugs or slim dildos are often a good choice for beginners.

2. Use lots of lube

When it comes to anal play, lubricant is your best friend. The anus doesn’t produce its own lubrication, so a high-quality lubricant is essential to make sure that you can insert toys comfortably and reduce friction. Water-based lubricants are the best choice, as they are the most versatile option and are easy to wash off. They are compatible with all types of sex toys and provide silky-smooth lubrication. pjur has also developed a special TOY LUBE, which contains both water and silicone and is ideal for use with anal toys.

3. Relaxation is key

Take the time to make sure you’re feeling chilled out; make yourself comfortable and dim the lights. A warm bath or gentle massage can help to relax the muscles. If you’re feeling stressed or tense, anal play will be more difficult and less comfortable. Listen to your body and take things slow.

4. Communication is essential

If you’re experimenting with anal toys with a partner, talk about your desires and boundaries together. Communication is key to ensuring that you’re both comfortable and free to enjoy the experience. It’s absolutely fine to take breaks or stop if you aren’t comfortable at any point.

5. Safety first

Make sure that the toy you’re using has a wide base. This will prevent you from accidentally inserting it too far. And as with all sex toys, it’s important to thoroughly clean your anal toys after each use to keep your toy hygienic and keep yourself safe.
6. Have fun
Finally, remember that anal play is all about having fun and trying something new. We’re all unique individuals, so find out what you like and enjoy the experience at your own pace. Whether you’re exploring solo or with a partner, anal toys – when used effectively – can enrich your sex life and help you get better acquainted with your erogenous zones.

Lubricant: The essential ingredient!

Lubricant is an essential ingredient in anal play for so many reasons. Aside from the obvious goal of providing lubrication, it also makes anal play more fun and can be the key to an incredible anal adventure. The anus doesn’t produce any natural lubrication of its own, so a high-quality lubricant will ensure a friction-free, comfortable experience.

If you don’t apply enough lube, the resulting friction can feel unpleasant or even painful. Lubricant makes it easier to insert anal toys and feels silky-smooth on your skin. This is where pjur comes in: Our water-based lubricants are a great choice for anal play, because they’re compatible with all sex toys and are really easy to wash off.

After use, it’s important to clean your toys properly to keep them in good condition and extend their life. Our pjur TOY CLEAN is a specially developed spray that cleans your toys gently but thoroughly, without causing any surface damage.

Clean & care: How to look after your anal toys

Cleaning and caring for your anal toys is essential if you want to extend their life and make sure that they remain hygienic. Giving them a thorough clean after each use is important for your health, and it also means that your toys are always ready to go again next time you reach for them.

Anal toys should be cleaned thoroughly after each use. The simplest and most effective way to clean your toys is to use a specially designed toy cleaner like pjur TOY CLEAN. This gentle but effective product removes all traces of lubricant without damaging the surface of your toys. Just apply the cleaner to your toy, leave to work for a moment, and then rinse thoroughly with warm water.

If you don’t have any toy cleaner to hand, you can also clean your toys with warm water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning products, as these could damage the materials your toy is made from. Make sure your toy is completely dry before you put it away. If you can, leave it to air dry to prevent moisture build-up and mold.

Storing your toys correctly is also an important part of looking after them. Ideally you should store your toys in a clean, dry container to protect them from dust and dirt. Some materials, including silicone, can react with other materials, which is why it’s a good idea to store them separately.

If you look after your anal toys properly, they’ll last a long time and will always be clean and ready for use next time. With the right cleaning products and a little TLC, your toys will remain in tip-top condition for longer.

We hope these tips have been helpful and will inspire you to explore your passions. Be curious, experiment safely, and enjoy the exciting world of anal toys! 😉
