Prostate & Anal Toys FAQs
What is the prostate and why stimulate it? +
The prostate is a small, walnut-sized gland located just inside the rectum, a few inches in. It's responsible for producing seminal fluid, and it's packed with nerve endings that make it incredibly sensitive to touch. Stimulating the prostate can trigger intense, full-body orgasms, often described as more powerful than those experienced through penile stimulation alone. For many people, it adds a new and electrifying dimension to their pleasure. Prostate play can also promote relaxation and improve overall sexual wellness.
What’s the difference between anal toys and prostate toys? +
While both types of toys are designed for backdoor play, they serve slightly different purposes. Anal toys are a broad category that includes anything designed for anal insertion, like plugs, beads, or dildos. Prostate toys, on the other hand, are specifically shaped to stimulate the prostate gland. They often have a curved design or bulbous head to target the P-spot effectively.
How do I use male prostate toys safely? +
The most important things are to go slow, use plenty of water-based lubricant, and make sure your toy has a flared base or handle to prevent it from slipping in too far. Clean your toy before and after each use with warm water and mild soap or a dedicated toy cleaner. Start with a relaxed mind and body. Deep breathing can help. And remember, communication is key if you're playing with a partner.
What type of lube should I use with anal sex toys? +
Always use lube for anal play. It makes the experience smoother, safer, and way more enjoyable. We recommend a high-quality water-based lubricant because it’s compatible with all toy materials and easy to clean. It also won’t irritate sensitive skin, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced users. Avoid silicone-based lubes when using silicone toys, as they can degrade the material over time. And don’t be shy about reapplying lube as needed.
How do I clean prostate and anal toys? +
Cleaning is simple but essential. Rinse your toy with warm water immediately after use, then wash it with fragrance-free soap or a toy-specific cleanser. Make sure to get into any creases or textures. Let the toy air dry completely before storing it in a clean, dry place, ideally in its own pouch or container. Some toys are even waterproof and dishwasher-safe (top rack only), so check the manufacturer's care instructions.
