An anal vibrator is a vibrating sex toy that is specifically designed for anal stimulation. Although traditional vibrators can be used for anal stimulation, vibrators designed specifically for anal use are typically safer. They are usually slimmer, for instance, making them less likely to tear delicate anal tissues. They also have flared bases which make it much harder to lose the toys inside the rectum.
An anal vibrator might also be called a vibrating butt plug.
There are a few different types of anal vibrators on the market, including vibrating prostate massagers, anal beads, anal probes and vibrating butt plugs. The type of anal vibrator that you choose will typically be determined by what you like. Vibrating prostate massagers are usually the toy of choice for prostate owners, for instance, while vibrating butt plugs are often enjoyed by most people who enjoy anal sensations.
Unlike the vagina, the anus has no natural lubricants. Therefore, a water-based lubricant designed specifically for anal play should be used every time a vibrating anal toy is inserted. Also, anal toys should be used gently so as not to tear anal or rectal tissues.
