The 13 Best Anal Stretchers for Delightful Dilation

This 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, and a travel case for all of your new gear.

This 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!

While this “toy” set can be used as either a vaginal or an anal stretcher kit, it’s important to keep expectations realistic if you decide to purchase it. 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!

The Lovense Hush 2 is an upgraded version of the famous Lovense Hush! This is a great choice if you are looking for a top-notch vibrating butt plug. It’s made of body-safe silicone and has extra powerful and rumbly vibrations, which you can control via Lovense App. If you wonder why is it a great option for anal stretching? The app-control feature gives you the option of full control over vibrations, and the ergonomic shape is perfectly made to wear for extended periods of time. The only drawback is the price, so I recommend purchasing this toy if you value high-end sex toys or if you want the most reliable butt plug for long-distance playtime.

You won’t find another anal stretcher quite like the Odile Butt Plug Dilator. 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!

The Tantus Ripple is a great choice for a nice booty stretch without using crazy intimidating sizes. It has an ideal size for intermediate users, which is a perfect option for an upgrade if you’ve outgrown beginner’s toys or are an advanced user looking for a warm-up anal stretcher. It’s made with high-quality and body-safe materials. It has a user-friendly design with gradually increasing beads and a safety-focused flared base for a safe and extra comfortable experience. However, the Tantus Ripple is quite firm which might not suit everyone’s preference, and its size could be a bit intimidating for beginners.

One 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.

For most people, we honestly think these will be a bit small. 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.

If 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!

Many ass stretching toys assume that even beginners want to reach maximum size right away, but that’s not the case with this product. Instead, the kit offers you five different plugs, each one slightly bigger than the last. At $60, we think the price is fair because although you’ll likely outgrow the kit within a year, the provided plugs are perfect for daily use & simplified anal training. In addition to the plugs, this kit also comes with an anal training guide which is definitely some need-to-read material for any newcomers. Unfortunately, it—like many other anal stretcher kits—doesn’t include any lube, so you’ll need to buy some separately. Despite that, we think this kit provides a nice & gentle introduction to the sometimes scary world of butt play.

A common complaint with these anal stretcher kits is the large jump in sizes between the fourth and fifth sizes. Unfortunately, the Sinclair kit isn’t an exception: multiple people have complained about the jump from one to 1.25 inches being a bit of a stretch! Still, since this is a common issue, we can’t blame that entirely on Sinclair, but it is something to note before purchase. On the other hand, since this jump is so challenging, it means you’ll need to train with the blue dilator for a while before you can start using the purple one. That’s not necessarily a bad thing because it means you won’t outgrow the kit overnight. Overall, if you’re looking for a brightly-colored velvet-soft anal stretching kit then you can’t go wrong with this dilator set from Sinclair!

This anal stretcher kit is sized much better than the other kits listed above, primarily because it’s made specifically for anal training! Even if the first plug pops right in, you’ll still have nearly an inch in diameter to work your way up through, which means that this kit will likely keep you entertained for a while. Although they’re still waterproof, these plugs are made of TPE, rather than silicone like many other products. Unfortunately, this means you won’t be able to sterilize the plugs, making routine cleaning of the utmost importance. Thankfully, cleaning is easy, just like most butt plugs: just use soap and warm water after every use!

The unique sizes offered in this anal stretcher kit make it an invaluable kit for people who have tried anal play before but haven’t engaged in it for a while. The plugs are sized well, skipping over the tiny beads and starting just under an inch, eventually working their way up to just under an inch & a half. True, this definitely won’t be a “forever kit”, but it provides a straightforward path to bigger and better toys for less than $50. These plugs also offer the bonus of having curved shafts, which helps make up for their smaller size by providing direct prostate stimulation. It would have been nice to have seen additional color options beyond the worn-out plain black surface, but at least the high-quality silicone can be boiled for easy sterilization and cleanup.
