Are you looking to spice things up in the bedroom? Maybe looking to strengthen the bond that you and your partner have? Well, believe it or not, anal training might be the adventure you’ve been seeking.

We know that anal play is often surrounded by misconceptions, but with proper preparation and amazing anal toys, you can transform this experience into a deeply satisfying journey for all involved.

Revitalizing Your Intimate Connection

Exploring new stuff in the bedroom (or any other place for that matter) can breathe fresh life into any relationship. Studies consistently show that couples who regularly try new activities during their intimate times often report higher satisfaction, stronger emotional bonds, and even more intense orgasms.

The numbers don’t lie, anal play has become mainstream in the past couple years, especially between heterosexual couples:

More than one third of women who have sex with men have engaged in anal intercourse
The average heterosexual American man has engaged in anal sex at least3.13 times a month
94% of heterosexual women who have had anal sex experienced an orgasm while doing the deed

Ready to transform your intimate life? Anal training enables you to explore your body in a way that makes you more comfortable with anal play, whether solo or with a partner.

What Are Anal Training Plugs?

Anal trainer plugs are sex toys which were specifically designed to help those interested in rectum play gradually and comfortably get accustomed to anal penetration.

Now let’s get a bit technical, the human body has two anal sphincter muscles, the external one which everyone can consciously control and the internal one which requires gentle, patient training to help “loosen up”. Anal training plugs work with your body’s natural anatomy, not against it.

Key Features of Quality Anal Trainers

Feature	Benefit
Gradual sizing	Allows progressive training from smaller to larger sizes
Tapered tips	Ensures smooth, comfortable insertion
Flared base	Essential safety feature preventing full insertion
Body-safe materials	Prevents irritation and allergic reactions
Smooth surface	Reduces friction for comfort

Common Materials

Silicone – Flexible, soft, non-porous, and easy to clean
Glass – Firm, extremely smooth, and temperature-responsive
Stainless steel – Weighty, durable, and excellent for pressure stimulation
ABS plastic – Lightweight, firm, and affordable

More Than Just Physical

Anal training goes beyond the physical sensations as it can profoundly strengthen your relationship in ways you’ve never expected.

The process requires open communication, mutual trust, and vulnerability, which are also the key elements that make any strong relationship. Couples who explore anal play often report developing deeper emotional connections as a result of the care, patience, and attention required.

For those who prefer to get it on solo, anal training can be a powerful exercise in self-awareness and mindfulness. Learning to understand your body’s responses, respecting its limits, and gradually expanding your comfort zone translates into greater body confidence that extends beyond the bedroom.

Emotional benefits can include:

Enhanced communication skills around desires and boundaries
Increased trust between partners
Greater intimacy through shared vulnerable experiences
Improved body awareness and confidence
Breaking through societal taboos together

Choosing Your First Anal Trainer Plugs

You might be wondering how can I select the right anal training plug? So we put together some important things to consider when making this important purchase, as your comfort is our top priority:

Size Progression

For beginners, starting small is key, much smaller than you might actually think. A good training kit offers multiple plugs with gradual size increases:

Beginner: 0.75-1 inch diameter
Intermediate: 1-1.25 inch diameter
Advanced: 1.5+ inch diameter

The key here is gradual progression, you’d want to allow your body to adjust over time.

Essential Features

Look for these non-negotiable features:

Flared base – Absolutely essential for safety
Smooth, tapered tip – For comfortable insertion
High-quality, non-porous materials – For hygiene and longevity (no one wants to keep buying new toys)
Comfortable neck – So you can wear your toy longer

Budget Considerations

While quality should never be compromised when it comes to sex toys, there are good anal training toys fit for all budgets:

Budget: $20-40 for basic training sets
Mid-range: $50-80 for quality materials and features
Premium: $100+ for advanced features like app control, vibration patterns, and luxury materials

The Lovense Hush 2, comes in a variety of sizes, is made from premium body-safe silicone and its vibrations can be controlled using our Lovense Remote App. When creating these toys, we wanted to ensure that everyone, no matter their budget or experience with anal play, could discover the wonders of anal stimulation.

Getting Started with Anal Trainer Plugs: Quick Guide

For Couples

Embarking on this journey together can be scary, but we promise you won’t regret it:

Have “the talk” first – Discuss each other’s expectations, boundaries, and establish a safe word
Create the right atmosphere – We suggest dim lighting, relaxing music, and perhaps a glass of wine (if you’re into that) to help ease your nerves
Begin with external stimulation – Massage the receiver’s anal area with plenty of lube (we suggest our own water-based lube) before considering insertion
Let the receiver control the pace – Either by physically controlling the plug or clearly communicating how they’re feeling
Combine with familiar pleasures – Incorporate activities you already enjoy to associate anal play with existing pleasures
Take it outdoors – Spice things up and control their toy out of the bedroom

Pro tip: The giver should maintain constant communication, checking in regularly with phrases like “How does this feel?” or “Is this comfortable?” This builds trust and ensures a positive experience.

For Solo Play

Going solo allows you to fully focus on your own sensations:

Set the scene – Privacy, comfort, and relaxation are essential
Position matters – Try lying on your side with knees bent or a modified child’s pose
Use plenty of lubricant – Apply to both the toy and your body
Take some deep breaths – Consciously relax your muscles before gentle insertion
Go slowly – There’s no rush; listen to your body
Combine with familiar stimulation – Adding genital stimulation can enhance relaxation and pleasure

Remember: Never progress to a larger size until the current size feels completely comfortable. This might take days or weeks – and that’s perfectly normal.

Essential Preparation Checklist

No matter your approach, these preparations are non-negotiable:

Lubricant – Always use plenty of lubricant specifically designed for anal play (water-based especially)
Hygiene – A shower is sufficient; aggressive cleansing is unnecessary and potentially harmful. Optionally, you can anally douche.
Timing – Choose a time when you’re relaxed and not rushed
Comfort items – Have towels, cushions, and anything else that enhances comfort nearby
Patience – Perhaps the most important element of all

Ready to get it on? Remember that anal training is like any other type of muscle training, slow and steady wins the race and go easy on yourself.

Anal Trainer Plugs: Getting Rid of Myths

Myth: “Anal play is only for homosexual men”

Reality: Anal pleasure is based on human anatomy, not sexual orientation. People of all genders and orientations can enjoy anal play due to the highly sensitive nerve endings in this area and everyone has an anus so, go figure.

Myth: “Training will permanently stretch you out”

Reality: The anal sphincter is a muscle designed to stretch and return to its original state. Proper training actually improves muscle tone and control. Many doctors believe that doing anal training can help strengthen your pelvic floor.

Myth: “It’s always painful”

Reality: Discomfort is a sign that you’re doing something wrong. Proper training should never cause unbearable pain.

Myth: “Special cleaning products are required”

Reality: A regular shower is sufficient preparation. Aggressive douching can disrupt natural bacterial balance and potentially increase risk of discomfort or anal tearing.

Myth: “Larger plugs equal more pleasure”

Reality: Size is personal preference, not a measure of effectiveness. Many people find that moderate-sized toys provide the most pleasurable sensations.

Your Journey to Enhanced Intimacy with Anal Trainer Plugs
