b-Vibe really do make some of the best anal toys for beginners and more advanced users, and the Novice Plug definitely lives up to their high standards! It’s definitely a top quality vibrating butt plug! Our reader loved how comfortable the plug is and the strong but quiet vibrations! The wireless remote is also very useful if you are wearing this plug during sex or you want to let your partner control the vibrations! It is a pretty pricey toy but if you want a top quality, durable beginner’s butt plug it’s a great option! However, if you see yourself sizing up soon, I would recommend a cheaper option, like the Butt Tingler.

This is one of the cheapest beginner anal toys that still delivers great quality! And you even get added vibrations! Our tester actually found the plug to be a little smaller than expected, so this is a really great option for complete beginners anal play. They also loved how it felt during double penetration as it increased the sensations from the vibrations! The only real downside to this toy is that it requires one AAA battery, but grab a pack and it should last you a good while!

3 Stainless steel

njoy Pure Plug

 njoy Pure Plug

  • Are interested in a weighted butt plug
  • Want to try temperature play
  • Prefer using silicone lubrication

njoy Pure Plug

  • Prefer a soft and flexible plug
  • Want a more tapered tip

Made of medical-grade stainless steel, the plug has a satisfying weightiness to it that gives a real sensation of fullness, and you can warm or cool it before use. Plus, you can use it with any type of lube you like! The loop handle also makes for easy removal and ensure the plug can’t be fully inserted.

  • Safe, easy to clean material
  • Loop handle
  • Can be heated or cooled
  • Compatible with all lubes

  • Pricey
  • Tip of bulb not that tapered

Storage Bag IncludedNo, but has a storage box

Although the pure plug really is a little pricey, it really is one of the most luxurious anal toys for beginners! The top quality materials and finish are definitely worth investing in if you have tried anal stimulation and already know you enjoy it. The bulb shaped tip is a little more difficult to insert than a very tapered, torpedo shaped plug, but once inside it provides more stimulation and is less likely to slip out. Our tester loved how comfortable this metal butt plug felt once it was in and really liked that the slim neck meant their sphincter wasn’t stretched while wearing it.

4 Anal Beads

Fifty Shades Pleasure Intensified Anal Beads

 Fifty Shades Anal Beads

  • Are looking for your first set of anal beads
  • Prefer an extra slim toy
  • Want very small beads that still increase in size
  • Butt plugs don't seem as interesting to you
  • Need something that's easy to keep clean
  • Want a unisex anal toy

Fifty Shades Anal Beads

  • Crave the fullness of a plug or dildo
  • Want a vibrating anal toy
  • Prefer trying anal beads with a bit more girth

The Fifty Shades Pleasure Intensified Anal Beads comes with six slim oval-shaped beads that gradually get larger along the length, meaning you can gradually work your way to inserting the whole string. Featuring a finger loop at the bottom, it can be easily inserted and removed, making it as impressive as it is satisfying. Due to it being made entirely of silicone, it is easy to keep clean and odorless – perfect, considering where it’s going! It’s an amazing toy for anal toy for beginners, and could even be used as a warm-up toy for more advanced users! And not only that, but it comes with an elegant gift-like storage bag!

WaterproofSubmersible
Storage Bag IncludedYes
FlexibilityVery flexible

These are the perfect anal beads for complete beginners! Even if you’ve never used a butt plug before, you’ll be able to enjoy the Fifty Shades Pleasure Intensified Anal Beads. The beads start out very slim, which is great if you are feeling a little nervous, but it also means they can be a little tricky to insert as they are so small and flexible. That being said, it’s really nice that you can work your way up to the bigger beads as you feel comfortable. Our tester really appreciated that they were so approachable for beginners and easy to use with a little practice, but did find that the loop handle was maybe a bit too flexible to work as a stopper. Make sure you’ve always got a firm grip in the loop if you insert the last bead!

Fifty Shades Something Forbidden Butt Plug

 Fifty Shades Butt Plug

  • Love the smooth & sleek design
  • Want a finger loop for safety
  • Just want a starter butt plug

Fifty Shades Butt Plug

  • Prefer larger toys
  • Are looking for more of a stretch
  • Are a more experienced anal player

The Fifty Shades of Grey Something Forbidden Butt Plug was designed specifically with newbies to anal play in mind. It is a slim and sleek toy that is ready to stimulate one of the most erogenous zones on the body. Slide it inside and twist, tug, and rock yourself to sexual satisfaction. It even features a very handy finger loop at the base that is used to stop the butt plug from going further than intended. On top of all that, the Fifty Shades of Grey Something Forbidden Butt Plug comes with a storage bag to help keep it clean!

  • Great for beginners
  • Finger loop for safety
  • Comes with storage bag

  • Quite a slim butt plug
  • Loop can be uncomfortable
Fifty Shades Butt Plug

Insertable length3.5 inches

MaterialsSilicone

AllergiesLatex-free , phthalate-free

The Fifty Shades of Grey Something Forbidden Butt Plug is a decent enough beginner anal toy if you’re totally new to  butt plugs. Slim and sleek, the butt plug can be inserted super easily, and removed with the same amount of ease. The finger loop at the end means you have full control of the toy at all times. It’s not the most comfortable loop however, and may start to feel a little awkward after a while. Is the Fifty Shades of Grey Something Forbidden Butt Plug good? Yes. Is it great? Not so much. But for those that are just taking their first steps into the world of anal play, it’s as good a place to start as any!

Sex and Mischief Anal Beads

 S&M Anal Beads

  • Enjoy rippling sensations
  • Prefer soft flexible anal beads
  • Want a very slim anal toy

S&M Anal Beads

  • Prefer the full-feeling of a plug
  • Want something easy to clean
  • Don't enjoy deeper stimulation

These slim but satisfying anal beads are an amazing beginner anal toy, as they measure just 0.89 inches. The slightly heart-shaped beads provide an intensely delicious rippling sensation as each one is inserted or removed. They’re made of soft, flexible silicone, which can be boiled to be fully sterilized.

  • Smooth and flexible
  • Great for beginners
  • Flexible ring handle

  • Might be small for some users
  • Cleaning requires attention between beads
  • Can't use waterproof silicone lubes

If the very slim set of beginner anal beads above is not quite as fulfilling as you would want, I highly recommend opting for these instead. The Sex & Mischief Anal Beads have a slightly different shape that will provide a bit more intensity to the removal of the beads. Perfect for beginners who are a bit more adventurous! They also provide a different sensation to anal plugs, so if you prefer a more rippling or massaging sensation or the sensation of your sphincter opening and closing over the fullness of a plug, this is a better option. Our tester loved the sensation of the beads popping in and out and enjoyed the added boost of removing them at the time of orgasm. They did mention you need to be diligent in the cleaning to make sure you clean between each bead. Overall, these are a great quality starter anal toy for a great price!

10 Dildo

Lovehoney Curved Suction Cup Dildo

 Lovehoney Curved Dildo

  • Want to simulate penetrative anal sex
  • Need a suction cup base
  • Want a dildo for pegging

Lovehoney Curved Dildo

  • Prefer a very slim tip
  • Want a realistic looking dildo

The Lovehoney Curved Silicone Dildo is a great first time anal dildo as the shaft measures just 1.1 inches in diameter! It’s made from smooth silicone that feels fantastic with a slick of water-based lube! The curve is fantastic for targeting the prostate or even massaging the g-spot through the vaginal wall. Plus the suction cup base means you can explore hands free anal play or pop it into a harness to please your partner!

  • Slim shaft
  • Soft silicone
  • Suction cup base
  • Harness compatible

  • Suction cup loses grip on some surfaces
  • Not that tapered
Lovehoney Curved Dildo
Length6 inches
Insertable length5.5 inches
Diameter1.1 inches
WaterproofYes
MaterialsSilicone

This is the best beginner’s anal toy for anyone looking to recreate the sensations of anal sex or work up to having penetrative anal sex with a partner. It’s the biggest starter anal toy in the post but also the one that feels most similar to anal sex with a penis. The slim, curved shaft is a very approachable size, although the head is slightly wider than the shaft, so you should take the insertion a little slowly. Some users have had issues with the suction cup not sticking to all surfaces, but for the strongest stick you look for completely smooth, flat surfaces.

What Else Do You Need to Get Started?

When it comes to anal toys for beginners it’s not all about the toys themselves! Sometimes you need a few extras to make sure that you have a great time and things so off without a hitch. So let’s take a look at a few of the accessories you need to get your hands (and your butts) on!

Tracey Cox Supersex Anal Douche

Tracey Cox Supersex Anal Douche  - What Else Do You Need to Get Started?
With the Tracey Cox Supersex Anal Douche you can flush your butt to make sure you feel extra clean! It features a soft flexible silicone tip that’s comfortable to use and easy to clean and the bulb can hold up to 5.4 oz of liquid.

Lovehoney Discover Water-Based Anal Lubricant

Lovehoney Discover Water-Based Anal Lubricant - What Else Do You Need to Get Started?

Comparing the best beginner anal toys at a glance

Still not sure which is the best beginner anal toy for you? Here’s how they all measure up on different features!

Overall Rating

The overall rating is the combined average of the customer ratings and the Bedbible rating, and there are two clear front runners! The Tracey Cox Supersex Kit leads the pack with a perfect 5.0 out of 5.0 rating, closely followed by the njoy Pure Plug, which scored 4.9. The beginners anal toy that received the lowest rating was the the Lovehoney Butt Tingler, but it still scored a decent 4.2/5.

Price

Price-wise, the b-Vibe Novice Plug is on the more expensive side, whereas a number of products, including the Lovehoney Butt Tingler, are more budget-friendly. If you aren’t sure you like anal stimulation, I would recommend going for one of the cheaper options first to test the waters!

Size

While all of the products in this review are beginner-friendly anal toys, there is still some variation in size. If you are nervous (but still enthusiastic, of course) about trying anal play, I would suggest the either the S&M Anal Beads or the Fifty Shades Anal Beads as they are both less than 1-inch in diameter.

Vibrations

The b-Vibe Novice Plug stands out as the best vibrating toy in this review as it provides a wealth of options, offering six speeds and 15 patterns. The Lovehoney Butt Tingler offers fewer choices, with just three speeds and seven patterns but is a fraction of the price!

Special features

Most of the products are waterproof, and where battery life is relevant, the b-Vibe Novice Plug stands out with a duration of at least 60 minutes. Special features like remote controls and travel locks are available with the b-Vibe Novice Plug but not with the Lovehoney Butt Tingler.

What to do and how to use anal toys for beginners

So you’re ready to start out on your first anal adventure, but wait…what do you even do? How does this all work? Don’t worry, these questions are natural, and we’ll try to talk you through how to use your anal toys for beginners, and how to have plenty of back door fun!

Lube up!

Lube up!

Making sure you’re lubed up is key to having an awesome time! Your butt won’t naturally lube itself, so covering it generously with a good water-based lubricant, like the Sliquid Sassy anal lube, will help keep things slipping and sliding. You don’t want to try it without because things will get real painful, real fast!

Relax and take it slow!

Relax and take it slow!

As Frankie Goes To Hollywood once said: Relax! If you’re sliding something into your butt – especially for the first time – you’re going to need to totally relax! You’re going to instinctively clench up, but you have to do the opposite! If you find things a little too tight to start with, try teasing around the outside until you feel ready. Take it slow, take it easy, and enjoy the whole experience!

Clean up!

Clean up!

When you’re done and fully satisfied, it is important to clean up! A quick wipe off won’t do the trick, you’re going to need to be a little more thorough. Use warm water and a sex toy cleaner (or mild soap if you don’t have any cleaner) to help keep things sanitized and hygienic! Read more in the ‘How to clean anal toys for beginners’ section!

How to clean anal toys for beginners

How on earth do you clean your anal toys for beginners after you've finished using them? It depends on which material your toy is made of and if it is waterproof! If your toy is waterproof, you can wash it with water and a mild, unscented soap or sex toy cleaner. If it isn't waterproof you will need to wipe it down with a cloth and sex toy cleaner or mild soap and then make sure to clean the soap off with a fresh cloth. If your starter anal toy is made of stainless steel, silicone or borosilicate glass and has no electrical parts, you can also boil it in water to strerilize it.

Cleaning different materials

FAQ

No! Or at least they shouldn't! Beginner anal toys are relatively small and easy to use, and (providing you're lubed up properly and good to go) should slide in nicely. If you feel ANY pain or discomfort you need to stop and remove the toy completely!

We would always recommend using water-based lubricants. We say this for a variety of reasons. Firstly it is body safe, secondly it won't damage any of your toys, and thirdly it won't leave any sticky residue!

Right here, by following the links in this post! We are your one-stop review for anal toys for beginners, so we have linked you to some of the most reputable and well respected sex toy shops out there. So you can definitely shop in confidence!
