12 Best Anal Vibrators in 2024, REALLY Tested! [Video Reviews]

Featured imageContrary to popular belief, anal play is just as exciting as vaginal penetration. Especially for men, anal vibrators enhance prostate massage, a unique sensation-filled male P-spot stimulation. But which of the many products and brands should I buy?

After testing dozens of anal vibrators we recommend Lovense Hush 2 to all our friends and readers. The beginner-friendly anal plug has a tapered design for easy insertion and a bulging body for improved sensations which our testers thought were better than the other models. Besides featuring multiple patterns and vibration speeds, the interactive Hush 2 is compatible with the Lovense Remote app for simplified close-range and long-distance control.

How We Picked the Products

For this article, I hand-picked some of the favorite models my colleagues and I have used over the years and also used adult forums to see other popular products real people were using. We added them all to our pool of review samples.

To pre-filter out the lowest quality, I ensured the material had to be correct. I only included anal toys made from body-safe and hygienic materials. In addition, anal play safety was paramount, and all the models had to have a flared base to avoid unwanted travel.

Besides the material and flat base, we used a list of test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100. These included the following:

  1. Design. A good product must have a design that simplifies insertion and retention during use. They must also have a curved shape and flared base for precise prostate play and to prevent unwanted travel.
  2. Settings. The more settings, the better. I prioritized the review samples with more vibration settings. While extra bells and whistles like dual and triple motors weren’t necessary, I did throw in a few models with multiple motors.
  3. Stimulations were an essential part of the selection process. While having multiple vibration settings was enough, I also paid attention to anal vibrators with different stimulations. For instance, besides the regular vibrations, the b-Vibe Rimming Plug has rimming action in the neck area that simulates ass licking, making it a unique inclusion.
  4. Build Quality. The products we select must also have outstanding quality. Everything from the materials used to the safety design tweaks had to be top-tier.
  5. Charging. As you might have already picked from my reviews, I prefer rechargeable sex toys, and anal vibrators are no exception. Besides the power type, I also paid attention to those models with an impressive charging-to-output ratio. You don’t want something that takes three hours to charge only to die in 30 minutes. Do you?
  6. Special Features (App-control & long-distance control). Like other vibrating sex toys, anal vibes have bells and whistles that set them apart from the competition. So, for this article, I gave special ‘treatment’ to models with unique features like mobile app control, dual-motor design, and long-distance control.

With the review guidelines defined, my colleagues were more than ready. I distributed the test samples and waited 14 days for a report on every product. I also used this time to test the vibrators so I had a litmus test for comparison.

During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Design (25%) and Stimulation (25%). After that comes Build Quality  (10%), Price & Value (10%), and Special Features (10%).

Analyzing the results took about 54 hours, with a great bulk of the time spent comparing my team’s findings to mine and using customer reviews and more data from the research team. From my conclusions, I sought the help of Angela Kempf, our sexual health writer, to get a second opinion on the top picks. And after one of the most intense reviews and testing exercises, we believe these are the best anal vibrators for men and women!

 


Everything We Tested

In this chapter, you can see a comparison table with all the products we tested. As you can see, each row has the test criteria our team used during the testing. To make our testing process even more transparent, we also included the raw test data so you can see how the products performed with each test criteria.

1. Lovense Hush 2: Our Overall Test Winner!

Lovense Hush 2

Lovense Hush 2 is this year’s best anal vibrator mainly because of the bullet-like design with a bulbous body and tapered tip which we thought were better than the competition. Regardless of your experience level, the Hush 2 makes anal play thrilling, and with a pointed tip, anal penetration is greatly simplified.

We also noted that Hush 2 is the world’s first interactive anal plug. You can connect it to the intuitive Lovense Remote app, opening your world to new possibilities. Everything from more vibration combinations to simplified close-range and long-distance control makes it an ideal choice for people in long-distance relationships. You can see screenshots of the app below:

Screenshots from the Lovense smartphone app

Something else that we appreciated was the powerful motor. “Unlike most anal plugs, Hush 2 has a powerful kick to the rumbles. The powerful anal vibrator has four pre-set vibration patterns and three settings, making a varied list of combinations to explore”, our lead product tester Rachel Sommer wrote in her test report. “In addition, the smartphone app offers up to 10 patterns and three steady levels”, Rachel added.

The Lovehoney Hush 2 is available in four sizes, making it easy to pick the right one based on your experience and preferred sensations. The smallest is our recommendation for anal play beginners, but you can choose between the other three if you’re a mid-level or experienced user.

The device charging

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, Hush 2 is too dependent on the Lovense Remote app. The solo button at the base can be difficult to reach once the toy is inserted, and without the mobile app, the possibilities are significantly limited.

We also think Hush 2 is perfect for anal play beginners. Still, it comes short in versatility compared to Lovense Edge 2 and LELO Loki Wave, two dynamic sex toys that double as prostate massagers, making them more inclusive couples.

Why Lovense Hush 2 is our overall test winner:

Lovense Hush 2 performed better than the other models we tested primarily because of the powerful motor with multiple combinations, an easy-to-use design, and a comfortable flared base to enhance safety. In addition, it’s compatible with the Lovense Remote app, allowing your partner to regulate the vibrations from miles away. Let’s look at the raw test data to further see how we motivated our decision to put it at the top:

  • Design: The size and shape were extremely comfortable. Everything from the tapered design to the slim notch around the neck makes it an incredible choice for most users. In addition, it’s available in multiple sizes, allowing everyone, including beginners, to enjoy a piece of the action.
  • Special Features: Lovense Hush 2 connects with the Lovense Remote app, arguably the best sex toy mobile application. It simplifies long-distance and close-range control and adds more play possibilities, including letting you sync the vibrations to your playlist and initiate sound-activated vibrations.
  • Stimulations: Besides being more potent than some bullet vibrators I reviewed, Lovense Hush 2’s excellent range of settings makes for an exciting experience.

  • Material: Silicone
  • Diameter: 1″ – 2.25″
  • Length: 4.72 – 5.91″
  • Insertable Length: 3.86″ – 5.16″

Pros:

  • A well-made anal plug with a tapered tip and bulbous body.
  • Hush 2 is 100% waterproof.
  • An ideal choice for people in long-distance relationships.
  • The Lovense Remote app simplifies control.
  • It’s available in four sizes.

Cons:

  • It’s not the preferred option for prostate stimulation.
  • Most of the anal plug features heavily depend on a solid internet connection.

2. b-Vibe Rimming Plug: With A Remote Control

Closeup of the tapered tip

b-Vibe Rimming Plug is our preferred model with remote control in this article. During our testing, the small wireless remote control worked up to 30 feet and was overall better than the other remote controls in the test samples.

We especially appreciated that the remote has 5 well-labeled buttons (image above) to turn it on and regulate the available 7 rotation and vibration patterns, each with 6 intensity levels. You could also use the distinctive button at the base of the anal vibe, but the remote control is much better.

b-Vibe Rimming Plug Petite with the remote control

But wait, there’s more! Unlike the other products on this list, the b-Vibe Rimming Plug has swirling beads around the neck to mimic ass licking. “I thought adding rimming action to regular vibrations made the anal vibrator stand out. It amplifies the sensations in the anal sphincter muscles, ultimately promoting intense anal orgasms“, Tim Larson reported.

Something else that the testers pointed out was the overall small size. They thought Hush 2 is beginner-friendly and an incredible first anal sex toy choice. (You can see me measuring the girth in the image below.)

b-Vibe Rimming Plug Petite

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the buttons were too easy to push for my liking. And significantly, whenever I had lube on my fingers, I slipped and pressed the power button on the remote several times. Starting from the beginning and cycling through to find the last setting was annoying.

It would have been nice to control the vibrations and rimming action separately. The rumbles tend to overshadow the rimming sensations, especially at the highest settings.

Lastly, the vibrations were more buzzy than rumbly. I don’t know about you, but I prefer the latter since it will travel further down the tissues.

Why b-Vibe Rimming Plug is our favorite remote control anal vibrator

If you’re looking for a discreet and punchy remote-controlled model, the b-Vibe Rimming Plug should be on your naughty shopping list. It has a decent motor and rotating beads, promoting an exciting combination of vibration and rimming action sensations. With an intuitive remote control, your partner can regulate the rumble from across the room. Let’s look at what else the test reports said:

  • Special Features: The b-Vibe Rimming Plug’s remote control significantly improved the user experience (93% average score). While independent vibration and rimming sensation control would’ve been nice, I loved how easy it made it for me to cycle through all the available settings.
  • Stimulations: The vibrating tip felt incredible to me. The rimming action was marvelous, and I thought it was a great addition to make the anal play experience authentic and fun.

If you want to see what the b-Vibe Rimming Plug looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our comprehensive b-Vibe rimming plug review here.

  • Material: Silicone
  • Circumference: 4.5″
  • Length: 5″
  • Insertable Length: 3″

Pros:

  • Unique toy that mimics ass licking.
  • Easy-to-use remote control enhances partner play.
  • The tapered design simplifies insertion.
  • Punchy 7 rotation and vibration patterns with 6 intensity levels.
  • It’s made from body-safe, smooth silicone material.
  • The flat base renders it anal sex-safe.

Cons:

  • It’s expensive – $144.99.
  • Unfortunately, the anal vibe is not waterproof.

3. Hot Octopuss PleX with flex: Most Customizable

Hot Octopuss PleX with flex

If you’re after the most customizable anal vibrator for men and women, Hot Octopuss PleX with flex is our preferred model. The perfectly shaped toy has two motors for treble and bass vibrations – the treble motor is positioned at the tip while the bass motor is in the shaft, allowing for a well-measured combination of different rumble pitches.

The testers thought combining high-frequency rumbles and deep vibrations with a slightly curved body and tapered tip made Hot Octopuss PleX one of our favorite sex toys for precise prostate stimulation.

The controls at the base of Plex and the remote control

Something else we noted during the review was the wireless remote control (image above) designed to promote seamless couple play. “You can use the multiple buttons at the base, but I think the remote control offers a better user experience. With 5 vibration modes and intensity levels to explore, the vibrating anal plug is worth your time”, Sandra Larson commented.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Hot Octopuss PleX with flex is not the most straightforward sex toy to operate without the remote control. Unfortunately, the remote control is not waterproof, so you must figure out the buttons for whenever you want to use the anal vibrator in the shower or bath.

Also, I didn’t particularly appreciate that I couldn’t control the treble and bass motors independently. I think independent control and a waterproof remote control would be good upgrades to the next version.

Why Hot Octopuss Plex with flex is the most customizable anal vibrator:

Hot Octopuss PleX with flex is an ideal addition to your sex toy collection if you want many ways to customize your experience. The powerful anal plug boasts a dual motor design with a treble and bass motor positioned separately on the shaft for intense orgasms. With a bulbous body and tapered head, Plex is ideal for prostate stimulation and regular anal play. It also performed well in the following test criteria:

  • Design: The testers loved the dual-motor design that was a standout among the review samples. Even without independent control, having a blend of sharp rumbles and hard-hitting vibrations on different shaft parts felt incredible.
  • Special Features: Hot Octopus PleX with flex’s remote control improves the user experience. It also makes it ideal for couples because you can easily hand over power to your significant other for a completely hands-free experience.

If you want to see what Hot Octopus PleX with flex looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our comprehensive Hot Octopuss PleX with flex review here.

  • Material: Silicone & ABS
  • Diameter: 0.7-1.2″
  • Length: 5.5″

Pros:

  • Impressive dual motor design.
  • The ergonomic design is super comfortable.
  • Its flexible shaft bends up to 90˚.
  • Handy wireless remote control.
  • Multiple vibration combinations.
  • It’s completely waterproof.

Cons:

  • Independent vibration control would’ve been better.

4. LELO Loki Wave: Prostate Stimulation

Lelo LOKI Wave

LELO Loki Wave has remained our favorite over the years and for good reasons. Unlike regular vibrators, it targets the prostate and perineum for intense internal and external stimulation.

Loki’s intelligent design features a rounded body and a tapered tip for a gentle stretching experience (image below). Its slim neck and silicone finish feels great in the anal opening, even when worn for extended sessions. With the contracting rounded body, it makes the sex toy stay inside without popping out unannounced.

Lelo LOKI Wave

LELO Loki Wave’s 4″ prostate shaft is long enough for most users. In addition, the dual-motor design also means the shaft and perineum tickler have a motor, delivering powerful rumbles on both ends. While it lacks separate buttons for independent motor control, the sheer power, especially at the highest settings, feels incredible.

Note: Like other anal vibrators, LELO Loki Wave is made with silicone and ABS. Notably, the seams aren’t as elaborate, and I didn’t have to worry about dirt and bacteria build-up.

The content of the box

All that aside, the come-hither function impressed our male testers the most. Loki Wave mimics fingering with back-and-forth movements. Besides offering something different, the technology made prostate stimulation more pleasurable. With the contrasting perineum vibrations, LELO Loki Wave felt great. “I love P-spot orgasms, and this anal vibrator is the best I’ve ever used. Everything from the fingering sensations to the vibrations on the perineum was perfect,” affirms Shane Davis.

According to our testers, the prostate massager’s ten vibration functions were among the most for a dual-stimulation male sex toy. They also found that the vibrations gradually increased in power, making Loki Wave ideal for more users. With an intuitive 5-button interface (image below), cycling through the settings was easy.

Closeup of the control buttons

But what about the new LELO Loki Wave 2?

The new model features a little more power and feels more comfortable to wear for extended sessions. In addition, its come-hither function is faster. However, you can’t regulate the come-hither function, so you’ll have to decide whether you want rapid or controlled fingering when deciding what LELO Loki Wave model to buy.

In the image below, you can see the two models compared side by side (The original Loki Wave on the left and the new Loki Wave 2 on the right).

Lelo Loki Wave and Loki Wave 2

Most of  our testers preferred the original LELO Loki Wave over LELO Loki Wave 2. Despite the ramped-up power on the newer version, the original Loki Wave has sufficient power and reliability for the most experienced folks. In addition, it stays inside without popping out during playtime – LELO Loki Wave 2 kept popping out.

You can read our LELO Loki Wave 2 review in this article.

Minor issues we found during testing:

LELO Loki Wave’s buttons could be raised for better accessibility. People with mobility issues will find it hard to reach the buttons at the base.

The $189 price point is not for everyone. Most sex toy users we interviewed were not eager to buy Loki Wave, labeling the price ‘too steep.’ Check out the Lovehoney Butt Tingler if you want a budget-friendly anal vibrator.

Why LELO Loki Wave is the best anal vibrator for men:

  • Design: The dual stimulation design received the highest score from our male testers (96% average score.). They reported that the bulbous body felt incredibly filling while the gliding perineum tickler completed the dual stimulation effect.
  • Special Features: LELO Loki Wave’s come-hither motion made prostate stimulation more exciting. Unlike regular vibrations, it mimics fingering, repeatedly tapping over the prostate gland for more impactful sensations.
  • Stimulations: The catalog of 10 vibration settings and rhythmic fingering action was the highest rated among the reviewed models. The sensations’ variance was a thing of beauty and a distinguishing factor.

If you want to see what LELO Loki Wave looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our review of Lelo Loki Wave here.

Features:

  • Material: Silicone & ABS plastic
  • Diameter: 1.47″
  • Insertable Length: 3.9″

Pros:

  • Impeccable dual-motor design.
  • Powerful vibrations from both motors.
  • The rounded body promotes an exciting feeling of fullness.
  • Outstanding come-hither function.
  • It has a foolproof 5-button control interface.
  • The waterproof vibe is bath-ready.

Cons:

  • People with mobility issues will dislike the interface.
  • The 3.9″ internal shaft might be underwhelming for anal-size queens.

5. Lovense Edge 2: App Controlled & Strongest

Lovense Edge 2

Lovense Edge 2’s compatibility with the Lovense Remote app makes it our preferred choice for people after a better hands-free experience or those in a long-distance relationship.

Why? Well, the Lovense Remote app has always performed at the top among the mobile applications we’ve reviewed over the years. In this test, it scored an impressive 94% average rating, for example. Besides the unlimited customization, the mobile app has a unique UI and bells and whistles like music sync, sound-activated vibrations, and simplified long-distance control. You can see me demonstrating the Lovense Remote App in the image below.

Lovense Edge 2 with the smartphone app

Away from the mobile application, we feel that the designers got it right with Edge 2. The internal and external arms are slightly curved for precise stimulation and the external arm lands on the clitoral hood, channeling the vibrations to the deepest nerve.

The 2nd generation anal vibrator features a facelift to enhance precise stimulation. It also packs upgraded Bluetooth capabilities for improved connectivity and a better battery for extended sessions. All of which we thought were solid upgrades and worth buying just for those.

Closeup of the controls

Lovense Edge 2 was also the strongest anal vibrator we tested. The rumbles were intensive even at the lowermost setting, making it a great option for those seeking a lot of power.

Something else we noted about Edge 2 was the sensations’ variance. “I noted that maxing out both motors was futile as the vibrations overshadowed each other”, Tim Larson told me “However, whenever I messed with the settings, cranking different intensity levels on either, I could feel the variance better, picking every change and tweak along the way”, Tim continued.

Lovense Edge 2

Lastly, Lovense Edge 2 has an adjustable neck with a knobby joint. While it feels stiff, it’s easy to manipulate once you locate the joint, and unlike most anal vibrators, once you adjust the angle, it stays in place.

Minor issues we found during testing:

We believe that Lovense Edge 2 is more suited for our more experienced readers. The vibrations were among the most potent we reviewed, and newbies may find it too intense.

Edge 2 can be loud, especially at high settings. Unless you’re in a nightclub setting, the vibrations will freak everyone around you out.

Why Lovense Edge 2 is our recommendation for long-distance play:

  • Special Features: Lovense Edge 2 connects with the renowned Lovense Remote app. The mobile application is the highest-rated (97% average score), with impressive features like sound-activated vibrations, music sync, and long-distance control.
  • Design: The dual-motor design with an adjustable neck makes it an ideal choice for different users. In addition, the stiff joint stays in place once you adjust the angle, so you can wear it in the house as you carry on with your chores.
  • Stimulations: Edge 2 has a decent range of stimulations. And with two powerful motors for internal and external sensations, you’ll enjoy the ride.

If you want to see what Lovense Edge 2 looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our comprehensive Lovense Edge 2 review here.

Features:

  • Material: Silicone
  • Diameter: 1.38″
  • Usable Length: 3.5″

Pros:

  • A well-made dual-stimulation anal vibrator.
  • It connects with the intuitive Lovense Remote app.
  • Powerful motors for intense internal and external stimulation.
  • A knobby joint lets you adjust the angle.
  • The mobile app offers an alarm function, music sync, sexting, and other bells and whistles.
  • Independent motor control.

Cons:

  • Edge 2 can be loud.
  • It’s not ideal for beginners.

6. b-Vibe Cinco: Beaded Anal Vibrator

b-Vibe Cinco and the controller

We believe that the b-Vibe Cinco is our preferred choice for those seeking a bit more texture and a different sensation. The 5-bead sex toy has a unique graduating design, with the bead size increasing as you move from the tip to the base. This way, even those new to backdoor exploration can have a go.

Something that stood out was the 3-motor design with powerful bullets dispersed throughout the toy’s length for full-on stimulation. The multiple motors also mean that even if you don’t slide the entire length inside, you still get a powerful kick from the vibrations.

Closeup of the remote control

The testers also liked the 15 vibration patterns and 6-speed levels to explore which they rated as sufficient for the majority of consumers. With an easy-to-use LED remote control (image above), you can easily customize the rumbles to match your sexual preferences.

Besides the stimulating experience with the different-sized beads, we liked the dipped base (circled in the image below). “It rests between my ass cheeks perfectly, with the soft silicone hugging the skin for a comfortable experience, even when I use it for extended periods”, Sandra Larson commented.

Closeup of the flared base with the b-Vibe logo and t-bar

b-Vibe Cinco has a strong and sturdy design that significantly simplifies penetration. It also has a tapered head that promotes comfort during use, especially for beginners.

Minor issues we found during testing:

While I loved the Cinco, my colleagues with an insatiable hunger for intense sensations weren’t as thrilled. Don’t get me wrong. It’s ideal for intermediate users, but if you get gratification from the most powerful rumbles, I recommend the b-Vibe Triplet – it packs a bit more punch. (b-Vibe Triplet review here)

Cinco also turned off unexpectedly during use sometimes. While a single button press on the remote control gets it back firing, the frequent switching off was a hiccup I’d do without.

Lastly, please note that it’s expensive ($119 – $170), and you might have to look for something else cheaper if it’s your first butt experience or you’re on a budget.

Why b-Vibe Cinco is the top anal beads vibrator:

b-Vibe Cinco topped our list because of  its graduating size, 3 vibrating motors, and wireless remote control. The USB-rechargeable vibrator also boasts 15 vibration patterns and 6 levels to explore. It also performed well in the following test categories:

  • Build Quality: b-Vibe Cinco’s build quality impressed the review panel (Average score: 94%). The shape and distance between the beads seemed perfect. The graduating size made it the ideal sex toy for anal training plus you don’t have to slide the entire thing inside – take in as much as you can and gradually experiment with more beads.
  • Special Features: Connecting Cinco with the remote control was bliss. More importantly, the small controller feels great on the palm, making cycling through the vibration patterns easy. And with fifteen patterns and six vibrations speeds, I enjoyed the vast number of combinations.

If you want to see what b-Vibe Cinco looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our comprehensive b-Vibe Cinco review here.

  • Material: Silicone
  • Diameter: 0.9-1.3″
  • Length: 8.2″
  • Insertable Length: 7.4″

Pros:

  • A trio of rumbly motors delivers multiple vibration combinations.
  • Intuitive wireless remote control with 30 ft control range.
  • The USB-rechargeable ass beads are easy to clean.
  • A soft, silicone design.
  • The perfect travel partner with a travel-lock feature.

Cons:

  • It’s pricey – $149.99 – $170.00.
  • The anal vibrating beads can be intimidating for first-timers.

7. Lovehoney Butt Tingler: Our Budget Pick

Lovehoney Butt Tingler

If you’re in the market for a budget product, the Lovehoney Butt Tingler should be on your shopping list. The $24.99 anal stimulation aid has a comparatively small size, making it a perfect starting point for beginner butt play fans. (you can see me measure it with a ruler in the image below.) With a pointed tip, a soft silicone design, and a bulbous body that ends with a slim neck, the Butt Tingler gives you smooth penetration and comfortable retention.

Another feature that we think is worth pointing out was the impressive rumbly motor, with 7 vibration patterns and 3-speed levels on show. While we’ve used more robust anal sex toys, the Butt Tingler was decent for the price.

Lovehoney Butt Tingler with a ruler as size reference

Notably, the bullet vibrator inside the shaft is removable, allowing you to get rid of it when you want a non-vibrating plug and slide it in for added vibrations.

In addition, Butt Tingler has a T-shaped flared base to prevent unwanted travel (circled in the image below). I also thought the flat base made it easy to retrieve the toy once you’re done.

Closeup of the control button

Minor issues we found during testing:

A significant downside was the battery-powered motor. A rechargeable battery is always a plus, and I wasn’t excited knowing I’d have to keep tabs on disposable batteries.

The small size might be great for beginners, but intermediate and experienced anal play fans will find it underwhelming.

Why Lovehoney Butt Tingler is our budget pick:

Lovehoney Butt Tingler gave us the most value among all the models on this list. It only costs $24.99, and with multiple vibration settings and a beginner-friendly design, it handily beats all the other budget products. Butt Tingler is also completely waterproof, allowing for exciting aquatic play.

  • Price & Value: The Butt Tingler costs $16.99 – $26.99, a massive bargain for such a well-made sex toy. Especially for beginners and anal sex fans on a budget, Butt Tingler provides excellent value for money.

8. We-Vibe Ditto+: For Partnered Sex

We-Vibe Ditto+Why we love We-Vibe Ditto+:

We-Vibe Ditto+ is our preferred model when it comes to penetrative sex with a partner as it stayed inside better than the other models we tested. It also felt more comfortable overall which is important for a pleasurable experience. We believe this was achieved because of the lop-sided build and bump in the middle (image above). The genius tweak helped elevate the pressure during sex while ensuring Ditto+ stays in place.

The testers also appreciated the velvety, smooth silicone material. Shane Davis summarized his experience like this: I thought it complemented the shape well, making penetration and retrieval more straightforward. Plus, the new remote (circled in the image below) also has a silicone finish, giving it a smooth feel and enhancing handling, especially with lubed-up hands.”

We-Vibe Ditto+

Ditto+ is definitely not the largest anal vibrator we reviewed, but the well-measured dimensions made it perfect for different sex toy users. It slips inside the anal opening easily and stays intact throughout partnered sex. The tapered tip simplifies insertion, while the bulbous body and slimline neck enhance retention. Plus, the flared base makes the vibe anal sex safe, so you don’t end up in the ER with a stuck-up toy in your ass.

The testers also pointed out how the designers balanced their act with a sturdy yet malleable and soft design. The all-silicone build feels solid on the hand, and even with the flexible body, the sex toy remains steadfast with no indication of breaking apart.

The content of the box

We-Vibe Ditto+ is a 2nd generation anal vibrator with impressive upgrades from its predecessor. My favorites include the new remote made from velvety silicone material. Unlike the old plastic-made one, it feels cozy on the palm of my hand and is much easier to use with lubed-up hands. In addition, the newer version is much easier to insert, and the powerful vibrations are more impactful.

Moving on, the anal plug has 10+ vibration modes, allowing you to explore a wide range of pleasure settings. The intelligently named patterns vary in intensity and consistency, making picking and remembering a favorite easy. With the patterns starting on the buzzy side and then transforming into rumbly vibrations towards the end, you’ll undoubtedly enjoy the exciting transition.

Screenshots from the We-Vibe app

We-Vibe Ditto+ is compatible with the We-Vibe app (screenshots above). I’ve used numerous sex toy mobile applications, and the We-Vibe app only comes second to the Lovense Remote app. Besides the few times it disconnected initially, I loved everything about it. The intuitive user interface and endless customization made it an incredible choice for long-distance relationships.

The versatility was another standout feature. Ditto+ doubles as a clitoral vibrator during foreplay and masturbation. With the tapered tip and multiple vibration patterns, you can enjoy targeted stimulation all over the body.

The device charging

While the We-Vibe Ditto isn’t so much of a public play vibrator, I tried it, and it’s fair to say the versatility badge is well-deserved. The decibels ranged between 35 and 60 the last time I used it. So, while you won’t want to use it during a group yoga class, you can take Ditto+ to a popular restaurant during peak hours.

Minor issues we found during testing:

We-Vibe Ditto+ is a little expensive for a budget-seeker. The vibrating plug costs $129, a steep price for most sex toy users.

In addition, the remote control is only splashproof, not waterproof. And while the built-in button still gives you 80% satisfaction, a waterproof remote control would’ve been excellent for aquatic play fans.

Why We-Vibe Ditto+ is the best couple anal vibrator:

  • Stimulations: The review panel was incredibly delighted by the 10+ vibration modes on the We-Vibe Ditto+. “I loved the robust motor and the well-thought transition from buzzy to rumbly vibrations as I cranked the volume,” read one of the test reports. The vibration patterns have different consistency and intensity variations, making it easy to pick a favorite.
  • Design: We-Vibe Ditto+’s simplistic design stood out from the competition. Everything from the tapered tip to the extended bulge on one side and protruding bump in the middle enhances pressure during Penis-In-Vagina (PIV) sex. In addition, the extended, slim neck ensures the sex toy stays in place throughout partnered sex.
  • Controls: The 2nd generation anal vibrator features multiple upgrades, including the new, easy-to-use remote control. The luxurious silicone material enhances handling, especially with lubed-up hands. Plus, the sex toy is compatible with the renowned We-Vibe app, letting long-distance partner spice up their relationship with the press of a button.

9. Nexus Revo Extreme: For Size Queens & Kings

Nexus Revo Extreme

Nexus Revo Extreme is our recommendation for experienced readers looking for a more filling experience. It has a massive 6.25″ circumference, 5″ insertable length, and an overall firm design, wiping off beginner and mid-lever anal fans.

The testers especially loved the bulbous shaft design with an angled ball at the tip for pinpoint stimulation and another close to the base to amplify the sensations and foster toy retention.

Another standout feature was the rotating head that runs clockwise and counter-clockwise. The 2-speed head promotes internal stimulation, massaging your prostate as gently or intensely as you choose.

They also highlighted the ribbed external stimulator that tickles the perineum for an intense dual stimulation experience. With 6 vibration modes to explore, you can be sure of an exciting experience.

Nexus Revo Extreme has a wireless remote control for simplified couple play. The discreet and easy-to-use remote control allows you to regulate the prostate head rotations, and the perineum stimulator functions independently.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Nexus Revo Extreme is expensive – $199. While I wouldn’t fault the power and design, the pricing will push many people away.

Something else that irked me was the limited 2-function revolving tip. Multiple head rotation functions would have been better.

Why Nexus Revo Extreme is our recommendation for size queens:

Nexus Revo Extreme is our recommendation for those looking for a sizeable model to stretch their anal muscles. The chunky vibrator has multiple vibration combinations and a unique rotating head for precise stimulation. It also has a ribbed external stimulator for intense prostate massage.

  • Size: Nexus Revo Extreme’s chunky 6.25″ circumference proved a challenge for most reviewers on the panel. It was the girthiest anal vibrator we reviewed, and very few people will take on the challenge. It’s massive, and only seasoned anal play fans will come close.
  • Design: The bulbous design added excitement to the experience. Unlike most of the vibes we reviewed, it didn’t have the classic tapered body.
  • Stimulations: Lastly, Nexus Revo Extreme has a rotating head with a clockwise and anti-clockwise setting for precise P-spot stimulation – the male reviewers loved it. The ribbed external stimulator also has 6 settings that help to complement the sensations with sensual perineum tickling.

Features:

  • Material: Silicone
  • Circumference: 6.25″
  • Length: 7″
  • Insertable Length: 5″

  • Limited prostate vibration functions.

10. Rocks Off Teazer Petite: Beginner-Friendly

Rocks Off Teazer Petite

Rocks Off Teazer is our preferred choice for newbies or those who want a smaller-sized toy. These people will like the slimline design with a circumference of 2.25″ at the widest point. I thought the overall slim size and tapered tip made insertion easy, even for those without anal experience.

Teazer is made from silky silicone with a flexible consistency that adds to the ease of use. I like to say I’m a mid-level anal toy user, so the petite vibrator didn’t do much, but my colleagues new to backdoor exploration had a field day with this one.

Something else I noted was the buzzy bullet vibrator with 7 functions to stimulate your anal nerve endings and other erogenous zones.

In addition, the small anal vibrator is comparatively affordable. The $26.99 price point makes it a perfect first-time sex toy.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the beginner anal vibrator is loud at high settings. And while it was easy to use and an ideal choice for newbies, the buzzy sound can be a turn-off.

The bullet isn’t the most powerful. The buzz doesn’t travel to the shaft but is more concentrated at the base.

Why Rocks Off Teazer Petite is the most beginner-friendly anal vibrator:

The Rocks Off Teazer is the most beginner-friendly on this list because of its tapered tip and slim body simplifies insertion and use. With its affordable pricing, the anal plug is an ideal first-time sex toy.

  • Design: The slimline butt plug has a tapered tip and slim body to simplify insertion. It’s also made from soft silicone material, which I found squishy. It felt great; even those with sensitive sphincters will appreciate the design.
  • Price & Value: Rocks Off Teazer Petite rivaled the Butt Tingler for the cheapest title. It costs less than $30, which is comparatively affordable.

Features:

  • Material: Silicone
  • Circumference: 2.25″
  • Length: 5″
  • Insertable Length: 4″

Pros:

  • The top anal vibrator for newbies.
  • 7-function bullet vibrator.
  • Slimline body with a tapered tip to simplify insertion.
  • Rocks Off Teazer is waterproof for thrilling aquatic play.
  • Velvety silicone material feels great against the skin.

Cons:

  • Rocks Off is not discreet.
  • A rechargeable battery would have been better.

Other Good Alternatives

The Doc Johnson A-Play is an inflatable anal vibrator that we fell in love with. It’s made from body-safe silicone material and has a handy wireless remote control for hands-free partner play. In addition, it has 10 vibration speeds and 12 expansion functions to explore, making it one of the most thrilling anal toys I’ve used.

Booty Blaster is our preferred choice for thrusting action fans. The 10-function thrusting anal vibrator boasts 7 vibration modes and 3 thrusting speeds, making for an impressive number of combinations to explore. I also loved the tapered tip that simplified insertion and the suction cup base that promoted a hands-free experience. While a silicone-made thruster would have been better, I thought the $49.99 anal toy offered great value.

 


What is An Anal Vibrator?

As the name suggests, an anal vibrator is a sex toy for backdoor exploration. Like other anal sex toys, they are designed with tapered tips, bulbous bodies, and a curved shaft to ensure maximum satisfaction.

b-Vibe Rimming Plug Petite

Whether you want to stimulate your anal cavity with a stocky vibrating anal probe or massage your nerve-endings-rich P-spot with an angled prostate massager, there’s a product for everyone.

 


But Why Should I Buy One?

The anal canal is lined with numerous nerve endings that make it just as stimulating as the vagina. The sensory lining responds to touch, tension, and thermal stimuli, making butt vibrators an incredible choice for people exploring backdoor stimulation. Especially for men, a well-designed prostate massager stimulates the male G-spot (P-spot), resulting in mind-blowing orgasms.

Lelo LOKI Wave and Lovense Edge 2

Another reason to buy anal toys is to induce a new dimension of pleasure in the bedroom. Besides elevating the quality of solo play sessions, couples can use anal vibrators during sexual play to enhance the sensations. For instance, using a butt plug during penis-to-vagina penetration inspires a feeling of fullness, ultimately elevating the quality of sex.

Vibrating anal toys like the Lovense Edge 2 and Nexus Revo Extreme have an extended base that hugs the perineum, inducing rumbly vibrations for dual stimulation. The latter has a ribbed external stimulator for intense perineum massage.

 


Types of Anal Vibrators

  • Butt Plugs: A vibrating butt plug is one of the most common models in the sex industry. The often-small toy has a distinctive bulbous body for anal stimulation, a tapered tip for simplified insertion, a slim neck to enhance retention, and a flat base to prevent unwanted travel.
  • Anal Beads: Vibrating anal beads are an exciting choice for beginners and experienced anal play fans. Most are designed with a graduating size, with the beads increasing in size as you move to the base. This unique design makes anal beads ideal anal training kit options for people looking to stretch their anus one bead at a time.
  • Pegging Toys: Pegging toys are common for couples in dom-sub relationships. The often-angled vibrators feature a harness-compatible base that allows you to penetrate your partner’s vagina or ass without needing a natural penis.
  • Prostate Toys: Prostate vibrators are designed with a slightly longer, curved shaft to facilitate prostate milking. The often-rounded head is meant to massage the male prostate, located a few inches from the rectum, inspiring intense orgasms.
  • Anal Probes: Anal probes are long, narrow adult toys designed for deep anal exploration. And while there are different sizes to meet your sexual desires, vibrating anal probes are known for their length and not girth.

 


How To Use an Anal Vibrator?

Once you clean your new anal vibe for the first time, apply a generous amount of lube to the toy and yourself. The lube simplifies insertion and avoids tears in your anal muscles that are particularly fragile.

Pro Tip: There’s no such thing as enough lube, especially when it comes to anal play.

With the vibrator lubed up, tease your anal opening a little with rimming action for warm-up. You can also use your finger to relax the muscles and prepare for anal toys.

Anal penetration with vibrating dildo

Once ready, start with slow, gentle strokes and gradually increase momentum. Remember to take breaks if it feels uncomfortable or stop altogether if it turns painful. Most importantly, re-apply lube regularly as needed.

How To Clean an Anal Vibrator?
