Use plenty of compatible lube, choose body-safe toys with a secure flared base, and only move up once the current size feels consistently easy.

It&#8217;s no different than any other anal play. <strong>The area around your bum hole has lots of nerve endings <\/strong>&#8211;  just like our other erogenous zones.

But with large toys or fisting etc., you\u2019ll need MORE \u2026 like A LOT more &#8211; ocean&#8217;s worth.  But which <strong>anal lubes<\/strong> are going to get the job done the right way &#8211; and there are a ton of them on the market to suit any preference. <strong>Here&#8217;s the conundrum\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\"><b>Water-based<\/b><\/span> is the safest for most sex toys, but it <strong>absorbs into the body faster.<\/strong> This means you\u2019ll have to take the toy out and reapply far more often.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\"><b>Silicone<\/b> <\/span>will go much further, but it cannot, repeat CANNOT, be used with silicone toys. Even the ones that are meant specifically for anal play. <strong>The lube will degrade the toy. <\/strong>I experienced this firsthand when I accidentally used the wrong bottle. It was like trying to clean up the worst kind of sticker glue that just wouldn&#8217;t go away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\"><b>Oil-based<\/b><\/span> is the <strong>magic potion for advanced anal play<\/strong>.

In my opinion, the <strong>best anal lubes<\/strong> are ones that are <strong>long-lasting, aren&#8217;t tacky\/sticky in texture, and won&#8217;t hurt your rubber\/TPE, silicone, or other soft-textured sex toys. <\/strong>Unless, of course, you&#8217;re using medical-grade steel, then you&#8217;ll have more choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-here-are-some-well-known-and-customer-approved-examples\"><strong>Here are some well-known and customer-approved<\/strong> <strong>examples&#8230;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<li><strong>Pjur <\/strong>Power Premium Cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swiss Navy <\/strong>Grease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SKYN <\/strong>All Night Long Silicone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sliquid <\/strong>Silver Silicone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Master Serie<\/strong>s Invade Deep Fisting Cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>J-Lube or J-Jelly<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anything from <strong>Boy Butter<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"anal-training-size-progression-table\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anal Training Size Progression Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anal training is not about forcing your body to meet a deadline. The measurements below are general reference points, not targets you must reach. Stay with one size until insertion feels easy, comfortable, and repeatable across several sessions. If a size still causes resistance, pressure that does not settle, or lingering soreness, keep using the previous size rather than pushing forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovense.com\/r\/1cfpos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Hush 2<\/a> is the main progression option because it is available in four maximum diameters: 1 inch, 1.5 inches, 1.75 inches, and 2.25 inches. The smallest model is intended for newer users, while the larger versions require increasingly more experience and preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>Training Stage<\/th><th>Recommended Maximum Diameter<\/th><th><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovense.com\/r\/1cfpos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Suggested Lovense Product<\/a><\/th><th>Suggested Training Period<\/th><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Beginner foundation<\/strong><\/td><td>Around 1 inch \/ 25 mm<\/td><td>Hush 2 1-inch<\/td><td>At least 2\u20134 weeks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Early intermediate<\/strong><\/td><td>Up to 1.5 inches \/ 38 mm<\/td><td>Hush 2 1.5-inch<\/td><td>At least 3\u20136 weeks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Intermediate<\/strong><\/td><td>Up to 1.75 inches \/ 44 mm<\/td><td>Hush 2 1.75-inch<\/td><td>At least 4\u20138 weeks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Advanced<\/strong><\/td><td>Up to 2.25 inches \/ 57 mm<\/td><td>Hush 2 2.25-inch<\/td><td>Several months or longer<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These timeframes are deliberately broad. They are not promises that your body will be ready to move up after a certain number of weeks. Some people will need much longer, while others may decide that a smaller size already gives them everything they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between two sizes may look small on paper, but diameter does not show the full increase in circumference and overall volume. Moving from a 1.75-inch plug to a 2.25-inch plug is a substantial jump and should be treated as advanced training rather than a routine next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"4week-anal-training-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4-Week Anal Training Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This schedule uses the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovense.com\/r\/1cfpos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Hush 2 Small<\/a> as the main training toy for the full four weeks. It does not assume that someone should move to a larger plug every week. The goal is to build comfort, control, and consistency before considering the next size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th>Week<\/th><th>Weekly Goal<\/th><th>What to Do<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>W1<\/td><td><strong>Learn how your body responds<\/strong><\/td><td>Complete one or two short sessions.

Continue with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovense.com\/r\/1cfpos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Hush 2 <\/a>Small if it still feels challenging, if you enjoy that size, or if insertion is not consistently easy. Hush 2 Medium should only be introduced as a short test after the smaller plug has become comfortable.

In a sense, <strong>you&#8217;re sharing similar steps to beginner anal players, but without the freaked-out<\/strong> feelings that come with inexperience. You&#8217;ll be stretching <i>gradually<\/i> over months. It\u2019s a marathon, not a race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">As for which methods you want to try &#8211; like adjustable anal rings, medical-looking tools, larger anal trainers or butt plugs, or dildos &#8211;  it doesn&#8217;t matter. Dealer&#8217;s choice. But there are <strong>anal sex toy<\/strong> considerations you need to keep in mind (which we will cover later in this article).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-prepare-your-materials\"><strong>Prepare Your Materials<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Gather all your toys, lubes, cleaning supplies, materials, <strong>and the protective layer you&#8217;ll sit or lay on.<\/strong> Have them close at hand (or in whatever spot you need). You don&#8217;t want to have to stop and go get something in the middle of your session. By now, it will probably be quick for you to make a checklist for those forgetful days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><strong>Some suggestions for what you can use to protect your bedding, furniture, or carpet<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<li>Latex or rubber sex sheets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>XL doggie bathroom pads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A couple of towels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An old, but clean, bedsheet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even a shower curtain <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-prepare-your-body-mind\"><strong>Prepare Your Body &amp; Mind<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">At this stage in your journey, you&#8217;ve probably mastered your relaxation and breathing techniques. But it&#8217;s still a good reminder that any anal basics are always used during anal play. We will go slowly, take relaxing breaths, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">You can have a warm bath or shower, prepare any visual\/audio stimulations you might need, have your room temperature and environment the way you prefer, and make sure you won&#8217;t be interrupted. Or, if there&#8217;s the off chance an Amazon package will arrive early\/late, have a bathrobe close at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-lube-like-hell\"><strong>Lube Like Hell<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Again, this isn&#8217;t a surprise, but on this blog, we love to beat the poor &#8220;safety horse&#8221; to death. Sizing up needs a ridiculous amount of anal lube. Apply it to the toy, hands, orifice, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Also, there are <strong>sex lube injectors or lube dispensers <\/strong>to make things easier. Keep in mind that the dispensers can only handle normal silicone or water-based lube. Oils, certain gels, or creams might gunk up the lines. If you want to buy one, do extensive research to make sure they&#8217;re compatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-assume-the-position\"><strong>Assume the Position<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Everyone has a few positions they prefer during anal sex. But anal stretching might have different ones. And, as you go up in size, you might need to alter your position. Whatever you choose, it should be something comfortable that you can maintain comfortably for your entire session.  And yes, changing in the middle is 100% okay. Do what you need to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-it-s-training-not-thrusting\"><strong>It&#8217;s Training, Not Thrusting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Remember, whatever items you&#8217;re using, the intent is to gently stretch the area to train it. Even if you&#8217;re using a dildo, the idea is NOT to use any deep thrusting techniques. Granted, yes you&#8217;ll have to move and adjust your toy to get it in and find a comfortable spot. However, <strong>this isn&#8217;t the same as anal sex with large sex toys.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-use-the-sphincter-trick\"><strong>Use The Sphincter Trick<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">If you didn&#8217;t know this, actually pushing your sphincter during toy insertion (as opposed to puckering or tensing) can help things go smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-stepping-up-in-size\"><strong>Stepping Up In Size<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Differences in circumference (even length) should be incremental. Once the toy you&#8217;re playing with is mastered and becomes very easy to insert, then you can choose the next size up. Don&#8217;t be size greedy though.

Mostly because you want to clean up your body so you don&#8217;t make tiny messes as you&#8217;re going about the rest of your cleaning process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-wash-yourself\"><strong>Wash Yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Wash your hands properly with antibacterial soap, have a shower (or just wipe if that&#8217;s all you need). Pay particular attention to under your fingernails, and if you have a vagina, make sure there has been no accidental leaks or cross-pollination that could cause an infection don&#8217;t the line. A thorough cleaning will also help refresh you and give you a moment to mentally transition out of your bum-related headspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">It&#8217;s also worth noting that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovense.com\/sex-blog\/kink-bdsm\/aftercare\">aftercare <\/a><\/strong>is a valid addition if you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-clean-up-any-accidents\"><strong>Clean Up Any Accidents<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Let&#8217;s be realistic. <strong>No matter how careful you are, the more anal stuff you do, there&#8217;s always the chance that some of your bowels will come out to say hello. <\/strong>It&#8217;s just our bodies and nothing to be ashamed of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Now, even if your hands have been cleaned well, you might need or want to put on latex or washing gloves to clean up, deal with your protective sheet layer, and clean your surrounding area (like where you had all your materials waiting on stand by. Use whatever cleaning aids you feel are best in that situation. It could be quick. You might have to deal with some spot stains. Or you could feel cleaner by using a disinfecting cleaning spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><strong>Opening windows, lighting a scented candle, or spraying room deodorizers are also helpful if you don&#8217;t like the after-scent of your session.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-clean-your-toys\"><strong>Clean Your Toys<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Properly cleaning any sex toy means you first give it a proper rinse or whip-down to get the excess off (including lube). Then (based on the manufacturer&#8217;s suggestions) use whatever cleaning solutions to sterilize your toy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">It could include<strong> antibacterial soap<\/strong>, washing a it couple of times, spraying with <strong>disinfectant <\/strong>(useful for metal toys), putting them in the dishwasher or <strong>hot water <\/strong>(if you can), or using a <strong>10% bleach solution<\/strong>. How well you can do it depends on the toy material. Oh, and don&#8217;t forget any nooks and crannies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">After that, rinse them, and <strong>dry them thoroughly. <\/strong>On a clean towel sitting in sunlight is a great way to dry and disinfect. Finally, store your items properly. <strong>Your anal training toys should have their own baggies, boxes, containers, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">And, when you&#8217;re about to use the toys again, give them a light clean before use as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"signs-you-should-stop-immediately\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs You Should Stop Immediately<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Stop the session and remove the toy slowly if you experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sharp, stabbing, burning, or rapidly increasing pain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain that continues after changing position or adding more lubricant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fresh bleeding, more than a tiny isolated spot, or bleeding that continues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sudden numbness or loss of normal sensation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Severe pressure, cramping, dizziness, nausea, weakness, or feeling faint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A toy that feels stuck, has moved beyond its base, or cannot be removed without force.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New swelling, discharge, fever, chills, or worsening pain after the session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tissue protruding from the anus that does not return to its usual position (prolapse).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inner anal and rectal tissues are thin and can tear or bleed more easily than external skin. Pain and bleeding should therefore be treated as warning signs, not proof that the training is working. <strong>Do not apply numbing lube and continue. <\/strong>Numbing products can hide the signals that would normally tell you to slow down or stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A tiny isolated spot of bright-red blood may come from irritation or a small tear, but unexplained rectal bleeding should still be monitored and medically assessed when it continues or returns. Seek urgent medical help for heavy bleeding, bleeding that will not stop, severe or spreading pain, dizziness, faintness, fever, chills, or discharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a toy becomes trapped inside the rectum, do not insert another object to retrieve it and do not keep pulling forcefully. Seek medical help. Healthcare professionals have dealt with retained objects before, and delaying care can make an injury more difficult to treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ebc4770a60fe60ae690884699e0ef7b5\" id=\"h-warnings-vs-side-effects\"><strong>Other Warnings and Side-Effects<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\"><b>IRRITATIONS &amp; ALLERGIES<\/b><\/span> \u2013 This comes from using unsafe materials and\/or not putting condoms over your toys when you play.

Also, cutting and filing your fingernails is a very good idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\"><b>SEXUAL INFECTIONS<\/b><\/span> \u2013 If you partake in unprotected sex while pushing your anal boundaries, those tears increase the risk of infection through the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\" id=\"h-faqs-about-getting-a-bigger-bum-hole\"><strong>FAQs About Getting a Bigger Bum Hole<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1693403766139\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How effective is proper anal training?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Done correctly, <strong>anal stretching is very effective<\/strong> and generally doesn&#8217;t have long-term implications.

Personally, I&#8217;m on the &#8220;against&#8221; side. Mostly because even if we&#8217;re scared of pain, it lets us know our boundaries and potential problems.

Some say it&#8217;s normal. Some don&#8217;t. But it really depends on the person.
