Not all anal toys are created equal. Choose toys made from non-porous, body-safe materials like silicone, stainless steel, or glass. Avoid anything jelly, rubber, or with questionable coatings—they can harbor bacteria and break down over time. Always use toys with a flared base or retrieval loop. Start small and build up gradually over days or weeks, not hours. Size progression is not a competition—it’s a process of care, training, and service. The goal is to stay ready and injury-free.
