2. A sleek and silky prostate massager boasting six vibration modes to cycle through alone or with a partner using the app or wireless remote control to deliver dual stimulation to the prostate and perineum.
Promising review: "The Vector absolutely stands out from other prostate massagers. Using the app, you can adjust the head (that's right, it can change angles!). Once it is inserted this baby isn't going anywhere. The thin passage at the base ensures it doesn't keep slipping out. You can easily walk around without people noticing, unless they hear the vibrations. Testing all the different rhythms and strength of the vibrations, I found myself in a nice relaxed state where I could just enjoy the sensations it was providing. I feel that with more use and experience with this toy you won't have any problems in having a hands-free orgasm, leaving your body shaking and drowning in euphoria. Overall this prostate massager hits a new level and I would recommend it for new or experienced users alike. You won't be disappointed." —JustHereForTheCake

Promising review: "I love this toy. It’s wide enough to make me feel full yet narrow enough that as an anal beginner I need very little warming up to get going with it. The curve at the end hits some really nice places, and the ears make it really easy to hold on to while going, and make it possible to spin the toy inside of me too which I found I really liked. Plus it’s so dang cute! Maybe the cutest CLF in my opinion." —Fizzle

"I used this toy on myself and was thrilled by the strong vibrations and the rimming sensation of the stem. The larger rimming toy seemed intimidating, but this toy comes in a size that I can use casually without having to do a ton of serious warm up every time I want to use it. I wasn't sure if I would like the rimming aspect but found that it was an exciting new addition to an already great butt toy. Overall, I'm very excited about this toy and would recommend it." —Rimming Lover

Tilt boasts a contoured design for wearability and dual motors that can be independently controlled to stimulate one or both areas at once.
Promising review: "My first LDC product. Perfect little toy for both solo and partner play regardless of your anatomy. The quick self-warning feature is very comforting, the texture is smooth and silky, and the size is just right to please both newcomers to anal play and the more experienced. Big enough to have staying power and feel full, presenting a little challenge to newbies, but not intimidatingly so. Easily portable/concealable and the travel lock function is super handy. Tested and works great for both G and P spots, can’t wait to use it again!" —Deej
Get it from Lora DiCarlo for $125 (originally $140).

With 3.5 inches of insertable length and a width of 1.25 inches, this sleek plug was designed to satisfy.
Promising review: "Everyone is different so what works for some might not for others. This is a great adult toy that is easy to clean, doesn't get 'sticky' like some, and can be used with silicone lube. The only 'problem' is that for some it is not 'a wear it and forget it'. If not held, it can turn or twist depending on what else you are doing and again everyone is different but the handle may be too big for some to sit while using this." —Frequent Shopping Leads to Reviews
Get it from Amazon for $58.
11. A simple and sleek glass plug with a T-shaped base for comfortable gripping and control, not to mention a beginner-friendly bulb that's 1.3 inches wide.
Promising review: "The craftsmanship on these plugs is amazing! This one especially is nice and simple, yet extremely comfortable to wear. The T base doesn’t get in the way when I sit down, which is a huge plus! If you’re thinking about getting one, do it. I can’t wait for the other sizes to arrive. :)" —Nyla D.
Get it from Crystal Delights for $44.95.

Promising reviews: "This is such a wonderful plug. It slides in so easily and feels so comfortable. Almost like too comfortable but certainly full. I will want to go bigger soon. My wife will inherit this one for her starter plug." —MattmanTX
"I've been enjoying anal toys for a few years now and I have to say that this Vibrating Snug Plug is a 10 out of 10. The size and the way that it fits in my butt is a thrill." —Robert
Get it from B-Vibe for $94.99+ (available in five weights).
13. *OR* get 2-for-1 with the vibrating Snug & Tug by B-Vibe that combines the best of both worlds with a weighted plug and vibrating cock ring delivering dual stimulation.
This delectable device is created for intermediate anal players who want to experiment with multiple sensations all at once. The weighted plug ranges from 1.3" W to 1.7" W for a very full feeling. Not to mention, there's six vibration patterns and four intensities, so you can build your way up to climax at your own pace.
Promising review: "Got the medium Snug & Tug the other day and was looking forward to trying out the cock ring portion more than anything. As usual with B-Vibe products it is very soft and smooth, this extends to the ring as well which has plenty of stretch for perfect placement. The ring is nice because it isn’t too tight yet firm enough to keep me erect (haven’t had a chance to use it during sex yet just practice sessions) without feeling like I am being strangled. The plug itself is a great shape and was easy to insert but my biggest compliment for the plug part is that IT STAYS IN PLACE!!! This might not sound like a big deal but I haven’t had the best luck with prolonged wear of plugs cause they always seem to slip out, so the most I get is a few hours while working. The Snug & Tug on the other hand stays put, probably thanks to the ring portion connected to it, so I have been able to go about my days and nights without having to worry about it slipping out. All in all 10/10 especially when you add in the vibrations!!!" —Double G.
Get it from B-Vibe for $110+ (available in M and XL).

Promising reviews: "Lovely, lovely, lovely! And beautiful, too! I love the duality of this product; it’s like getting two for the price of one. The curve is just right, not too rigid and not too diminished. On the flip side, it makes a great handle. I think this guy is on its way to quickly becoming my new favorite!" —Ash

Promising review: "The texture plugs are fantastic. The medium was my first B-Vibe product and turned out to be a gateway plug. The medium has a fantastic shape and is easily used in both partner play and the shower. The large has heft and the motor is extremely strong. Time, lube, and patience makes them so easy to enjoy. These are well constructed products worth their premium price." —Kevin

This 6.5" plug and its 5.5" insertable length couldn't possibly be what Legolas was packing in those tights...I refuse to believe it.
Promising reviews: "Phenomenal length, width, and texture. Not too soft or too rigid. Absolutely flawless and a joy to use. I couldn't be happier." —M K
"This thick boy surpassed my expectations, it's both beautifully poured, and gives an intense fullness sensation. Do not be fooled, this boi is very thick, if you're not used to having knotting toys or plugs, you'll probably need to work up to it a little 😉." —Carolina Bravo

Promising review: "This massager takes the art of prostate massage to a whole new level. While I have used the Njoy line of manual massagers for some time with excellent results, I have tried a few powered models of massagers of various manufacturers and been unimpressed with the results. Until now that is — Hugo is truly phenomenal! While a bit pricy, it is easily worth every penny. If you enjoy prostate massage, you need one of these!" —Native Son

Additionally, the unique shape of Princette helped my partner and I get orgasmically creative when I was injured and unable to do our usual stuff. Thank you CLF!" —m.
"I love all of the Little Fuckers so far, but Princette is my favorite. Easy to hold, which is important for someone like me with joint pain, and the settings go from gentle rumble to 'oh you better hang onto something.' The various speeds and pulses are very easy to figure out, and even a first time user like me got the hang of it very quickly. Overall, 10/10, cutest little buddy." —Liz

It's genuinely changed my experience with any toys I use, as well as making going into the shower an enjoyable and fun experience. Any other trans-women out there looking at this toy: do it! It'll do the trick, I can pretty much guarantee it. —K.S.
"Dude, this lil' booty buzzer rocks my world. It's so smooth 'n' cute 'n' really gets the job done. This is my first plug, and I would recommend it for newbies like myself.

The XS plug measures 2.75 inches long and 1.3 inches wide at its max; and the XL plug is 5.75 inches long and 2.7 inches at its widest point.
Promising reviews: "This was my first 'luxury' toy purchase for my rear. I’ve had several other butt plugs, but none have compared to these. I’m not a pro but knew I could handle at least the small, so that’s what I went with. I’ll admit I was intimidated at first. I warmed up slightly and found this was much easier to get in than a traditional tapered plug. I love the squish, and it sits perfect between my cheeks. The only thing I’m sad about is I’m too shy to tell people I know how great these are. Thanks for making a great product and allowing Peep Show Toys to sell it!" —Derek
"I'm definitely pleased with this sparkly blue butt plug (medium size). Despite the blunt shape and substantial dimensions, it's easier to insert than I expected. Once inserted, the shape and softness is very comfortable, and provides a nice full feeling. This butt plug stays in place easily, the base is quite comfortable between the cheeks, and the silicone has just enough firmness to provide some pleasant prostate stimulation. I've found a new favorite in the Ergo Soft Blueballs Silicone Butt Plug." —J.
Get it from Peepshow Toys for $36.99+ (available in five sizes).
29. A set of confetti silicone plugs that definitely offer a reason to celebrate with a flared base for safety and a tapered design for a subtle stretch during play.
The plugs range from 3 inches long to 5.5 inches long, and 0.75 inches wide to 1.25 inches wide. Because these plugs are silicone, make sure to use a hybrid or water-based lubricant!

30. A flexible vibrating butt plug that'll sync to the beat of your favorite songs, mimic your own custom patterns, or buzz along to user-created vibration modes already on the app. TBH, you could use this remotely so you can monopolize the window unit in one room while your boo gets the rotating fan in the other...just saying.
Supple, body-safe silicone offers a waterproof exterior and a flared base helps the plug stay put.
Promising reviews: "Exactly as described, and exceeded expectations. This is a great buy for individual’s who seek self satisfaction. This (Multi Pattern Vibrating) plug is also a fantastic idea of fun for couples who look to spice things up a bit. Personal Care Products couldn’t get any better. Extremely happy with this purchase, and look forward to purchasing more products by this brand." —William Gardener
"We have had a great time with this. I bought the largest and it took a bit to get used to it. We are a couple of states away from each other and he has had a great time setting me off while I’m at work or doing things around home. The vibration is very intense at the highest setting and at the lowest just keeps you on edge. Being made of the material that it is, you have to keep it clean and let it air out, so it doesn’t smell if you get any fecal matter on it. Definitely recommend!" —JayyDee
Get it from Amazon for $89+ (available in four sizes).
And don't worry, if you're looking for lube to use with one (or several) of these toys (hint, if you aren't, you definitely should be), we've put together a list of the best anal lubes!
