Best Anal Vibrators at a Glance

Backdoor Banger Thumping Silicone Rechargeable Anal Vibrator with Remote Control

The Backdoor Banger earns our title of Best Overall Anal Vibrator for Men in 2026 thanks to the sheer range of stimulation it offers. Rather than focusing on vibration alone, this toy combines thrusting motion, pulsing vibrations, and physical texture into one powerful package - making it far more versatile than most standard anal vibrators.

At its core, the Backdoor Banger blends the fullness and security of a butt plug with the movement of a thrusting dildo. The motor delivers seven thrusting speeds, ranging from slow and controlled to fast and forceful, allowing users to gradually build intensity or dive straight into more aggressive stimulation. As it thrusts, the toy also vibrates, with vibration strength increasing alongside the thrusting speed for a layered, immersive experience.

The silicone shaft features graduated bumps that increase in size toward the base, adding extra physical stimulation during use. A tapered tip helps with insertion, while the wide base ensures safe play throughout. All settings are controlled via a wireless remote, and our testers felt that made it easy to adjust speed and rhythm without breaking the moment.

As a big bonus, the Backdoor Banger is fully waterproof and rechargeable - so perfect for tub or shower use. And, when it comes to manufacturer and material quality, it's clear that it's built for repeated, long-term use - something most of our testers commented on as a clear positive. Charging? It takes around 90 minutes for approximately an hour of runtime - not the best ratio on the market, but more than sufficient for most sessions.

While it’s not the gentlest anal vibrator available, its ability to deliver thrusting, vibration, and stretch in one toy is exactly why it stands out. For men looking for a single anal vibrator that does more than just buzz, we feel the Backdoor Banger sets the benchmark.

Results From Our Testers

• The thrusting feels gentle on the lower settings and strong on the higher ones - it's a unique and pleasurable sensation
• The vibrations come along with the thrusting and get more powerful as the thrusting gets stronger
• The graduated bumps add physical stimulation and the tapered tip helps with the insertion
• The wide base adds to the safety
• It might be a little too powerful for beginners

Pros and Cons

Aneros Helix SynV Prostate Massager & Perineum Stimulator

Aneros prostate massagers are a bit different from other anal toys. If you've heard the phrase 'good things come to those who wait,' we think the Helix SynV (and most of their other anal toys) were what they were talking about.

Aneros anal massagers are designed to respond to their users' contractions. They're a hands-free toy that requires patience to get used to and to experience the best results. As you wear them, the muscles in the anus contract both voluntarily and involuntarily, pulling the toy into the anus and probing the prostate. It's like squeezing your anal muscles to work the toy as you would your hand on your penis. This builds a sensory feedback loop that adds stimulation, delivering - eventually - some of the mightiest prostate orgasms their users say they've experienced.

With that in mind, Aneros recommends a slow build using the low and medium settings of the SynV to achieve a standalone prostate orgasm. Slow enough to build sensation, but not so hard that it leaves you feeling numb. However, if you jump to its high setting, this is how many men enhance their traditional penile orgasms; the Super-T orgasm, as Aneros calls it.

Our testers agreed. Those who hadn't come across Aneros toys before said it took a bit of practice, patience, and time to get used to how it worked. Eventually, though, they all said they enjoyed the experience as it was significantly different from going all-in from the get-go, as they would with traditional masturbation.

If you're one of those people who go all in on size, you might want to re-address that with the SynV. It won't make you feel as full as your big plugs and dildos, but it hits the prostate so well, with a slow build to really impressive climaxes, you might want to find a place for it in your toy drawer, too.

If you've used the manual Aneros and want to add a bit more vibe to your experience, this is definitely the toy for you. They're probably the best-fitting prostate toys on the market.

Results From Our Testers

• A unique sex toy designed to build prostate health and men's pleasure
• At 1 inch at its widest point, it's a good toy for beginners and experienced prostate players alike
• One of the longest-lasting batteries on our list, providing 3 to 6 hours of run-time depending on the setting
• We loved the unique-looking charging port—a very nice touch
• It's also a great addition to conventional sex, too. Using its high settings, it really adds a kick to your climax
• This is a toy where it really helps to read the instructions, as its vibration modes are pretty unusual. 5 feels the most powerful, yet 8 is an ongoing combination of modes 5, 3, 5, and 7. Holding the button for 2 seconds cycles the speed settings from 15% to 30% to 100%
• As this toy is designed for extended use (up to several hours), it's a good idea to test which lubes (water-based) have got what it takes to go the distance

Lovense Hush 2 App-Controlled Smart Anal Plug

Our Best Vibrating Butt Plug winner for 2026 is the Lovense Hush 2—or as we should say, all the Lovense Hush 2s - given there are four of them to choose from. Having four sizes to choose from, each with added intensity to the last, was only one reason we think this toy is exceptional. The other key reasons? How they all perform, and of course, what Lovense does so well, is link them all up to one of the best sex toy apps on the market.

First, let's talk about those 4 models. The first, the XS (extra small), is a slimline butt plug with a nice gentle rumbly motor. It's perfect for beginners or for anyone who likes to wear a discreet plug out and about during their daily routine. Moving up a step with an extra half inch added to the width, the S (small) has a slightly bigger motor for slightly deeper rumbly vibes. The M (medium), at 1.75" wide, offers a much fuller feeling, yet with its streamlined shape still slips in nicely with a reasonable dose of lube. Finally, the L (large) is a full 2.25" wide and is the model for experienced plug players. It'll give you a pretty big stretch and with the strongest motor in the pack, it delivers powerful vibrations all the way through your butt.

As you'd expect from Lovense, they're well-made from high-quality materials, feel good, look great, and work a treat. And, for anyone who's owned a Lovense toy already, what sets them apart is their connectivity.

With Bluetooth and wireless app connections, you can control any Hush 2 from the other side of the room or across the world. This makes partner play, especially over long distances for couples who can't be together, a great way to keep your partnered sex life alive. For those who don't have a partner, they can find one easily enough using the app, or sync it up to all kinds of porn, games, and even your playlist to match the action.

And if that isn't enough, you can link many of the Lovense toys together, allowing you to feel what your partner is feeling, or use one toy remotely to control the vibration pattern and speed of another.

Results From Our Testers

• The ergonomic shape makes each model easy to insert
• The flared base is large enough to keep each plug in place and narrow enough to sit between the cheeks, allowing you to wear it comfortably for extended sessions or throughout the day
• Each model has an appropriately long battery life, ideal for extended wear, ensuring partner-controlled public play sessions don't die out too soon
• Whether you use its own remote or the app, there's plenty of variation to keep things interesting
• The magnetic charging point on the base is discreet and easy to attach
• There's almost no end to what you can do using the app. Surely, this is how all sex toys should be controlled?
• Connecting toys is great for couples to feel each other's motion, or alternatively, you could link the Gush 2 penis massager and Hush 2 anal vibrator for the ultimate solo session

King Cock Elite 6-inch Vibrating Silicone Dual Density Dong by Pipedream Products

This 6-inch dildo from Pipedream is part of their King Cock range - a range designed to look and feel particularly lifelike. We've crowned it the best realistic anal vibrator for 2026 thanks to both its hyper-realistic design and its vibrations, which feature a range of speeds and functions.

The vibrations get pretty strong and are easy to control with the button on the front of the shaft. It would have been nice to have a remote to control the vibrations with so you could use it hands-free, but the suction cup base somewhat mitigates this.

The other standout feature, aside from the vibrations, is obviously the hyper-realistic design. It's sculpted into a very detailed rendition of a penis, complete with all the curves and ridges you'd hope for; these elements all add to the pleasure of using it even with the vibrations turned off.

This means that the soft external silicone is wrapped around a much more solid core - this adds even more realism to the dildo, which increases immersion. As it's compatible with Pipedream's Body Dock harness, it's an ideal choice for anyone interested in pegging. Additionally, the dildo's battery is rechargeable, and the set includes a USB cable to help make it easy to keep it at full power whenever you reach for it.

Results From Our Testers

• Super realistic design - one of the most lifelike dildos we've ever seen
• Vibrations have a good number of settings and they all feel good
• Lifelike sculpt features pleasurable bumps and ridges
• The suction cup is a neat addition for hands-free play
• This is one of the only dildos on the list compatible with a harness for pegging which is a great feature

Pros and Cons

B-Vibe Cinco Anal Beads for Men

If you're not too hot on languages, Cinco is Spanish for five, which is how many beads there are on this anal toy. Anal beads are generally considered an additional player in sex and masturbation. They add stimulation to the nerves packed into anal sphincters while popping them in one bead at a time, but mostly from a steady exit pull, removing them during climax to heighten orgasm.

Getting the right-sized and shaped beads is down to personal preference, and this toy sits nicely in the middle. Long, firm, and bumpy enough for experienced users, yet flexible and smooth enough to provide a less aggressive pop. And if the whole thing is too long, just stop on the third or fourth bead—whichever one works for you. This makes the Cinco a great toy for progression, allowing you to work up to higher levels of pleasure at your own pace without having to shell out for more toys.

As a bit-player during sex or masturbation, the vibration settings on the Cinco offer a sensible range to enhance pleasure at both ends of the scale, with a generous kick at the most powerful. Then, when you're ready to climax, they're ready and waiting to bump through your sphincter, kicking your pleasure levels up a notch (or five).

The remote is simple: an on button, two up/down buttons, and a button to change the pattern. The middle button also works as a reset to its standard, steady vibration, which is handy with 15 modes to scroll through.

Another nice touch from B-Vibe is that they've included a simple guide to anal play. While most people buying anal beads will likely have done some research, their guide is a nice extra for anyone new to the game or anyone making an impulse buy.

While this isn't a cheap toy, it is one that will add to your sex play in several ways. And if you're looking for an anal toy to grow into, then this just might be the toy for you.

Results From Our Testers

• A great anal stimulation toy
• A good range of powerful vibration patterns delivered by a simple-to-use remote control
• While anal beads might not be the first choice for everyone, the Cinco is a moderate-size toy suitable for beginner and advanced backdoor play
• 2 hours charging time for an hour of play means you have to keep an eye on battery levels to ensure you've got enough charge to get you through
• Vibrating anal beads are a nice bridge between traditional beads and more typical anal vibrators and vibrating butt plugs
• The gaps between beads have a softer shape for smoother entry and exit strokes
• Given that anal beads are often an addition to sex and masturbation, and generally not the main event, the vibrations add extra sensations to any session

Hot Octopuss Plex with Flex Vibrating Silicone Prostate Massager

Hot Octopuss' Plex with Flex looks, appearance-wise, to be halfway between a dildo and a butt plug. We feel that it ties both of these toys together very well, and is made even more successful by the powerful dual motors that allow it to provide intense vibrations through its flexible neck and flared base - it's our choice for the best powerful anal vibrator for 2026.

This is actually a patented method that the toy's creators have dubbed Treble and Bass Technology, and it lets you quite literally tune the toy's vibrations to a combination of frequencies that suit you the most.

There are also 5 stock speeds and 5 stock rhythmic patterns that you can choose from if you don't feel like taking the time to find a custom frequency, which is appreciated and gives decent variety. Controlling all the vibrations is done with the included wireless remote control, which is a simple and convenient method.

Though the Plex with Flex looks a lot like a butt plug, it's a lot more flexible than a lot of its competition. The neck bends up to 90 degrees, which, while that's really more degrees than anyone would really need, does mean that it conforms to your body for a personalized fit, and makes it better at filling you up.

You can use it hands-free thanks to the vibrations, but for this, you'll need to keep it at full charge which is easy thanks to the included USB cable. It also comes with a carrying case for travel which is a decent extra.

Results From Our Testers

• The Treble and Bass function is a novelty to use and lets you get powerful stimulation
• You'll probably get just as much use out of the stock settings too
• A bendable neck is a nice touch that allows a more custom fit
• It's nice to have a butt plug that you can trust with instead of just using hands-free
• Some people might want a wider plug for more of a stretch

Pros and Cons

10X Vibra Crescent Vibrating Silicone Dual-ended Black Dildo

With the 10X Vibra Crescent, Master Series has created quite a unique dildo, as you can see from its standout, dual-ended design. This unconventional-looking sex toy is what we consider to be the best vibrating dildo for 2026 thanks to the benefits provided by the two heads that lie on opposing ends of the crescent shaft.

The fact that there are two heads here, one with a diameter of 1 inch and one with a diameter of 1.5 inches, means that depending on your mood, you can choose whether you'd like to be filled up a bit more, or whether you want something a little easier to take on and stimulate your prostate with.

Additionally, the two heads are perfect for anyone with a vagina, as they can use the larger one for vaginal use, and the smaller one for anal exploration. Of course, ensure you wash the toy thoroughly before handing it over to a partner to use for themselves.

Of course, the vibrations also help make everything more pleasurable. There are 3 speeds and 7 patterns on offer, so there's a good range of settings to choose from. The crescent shape and spherical heads mean it's quite easy to directly target the prostate with these vibrations, which is very pleasurable but can be overwhelming for beginners, so ensure you take your time.

It's very smooth, which makes insertion easy and enjoyable. Overall there are 8 inches of useable length, but you don't have to use all of this. It's also both rechargeable (using the included USB cable) and waterproof, even if submerged, for up to 30 mins.

Results From Our Testers

• Double-ended design is unique and useful
• It's nice being able to choose between sizes on a single toy
• Vibrations feel good, and the 3 speeds and 7 patterns add some variety
• There's no wireless remote, but it's quite easy to use the buttons on the toy itself
• It's a great toy to use in the bath or shower as it's waterproof and easy to use

Pros and Cons

Intro to Prostate Beginners Male Sex Toy Kit by Zero Tolerance

Included in this kit from Zero Tolerance are 4 silicone prostate massagers, each with a different specialty. Regardless of what kind of toy you're looking for, there's something here for you, and at such a low price, this kit is quite a steal. For these reasons, it's our best kit (with an anal vibrator) for 2026.

The toy in question is a fairly basic prostate stimulator that's more like a dildo than a butt plug. It's a simple shape with a slight curve at the tip, and at 1 inch wide it's a good width for most users. There's only one vibration setting but this setting is decently powerful, and the remaining toys just about make up for the lack of adjustable speed.

The second toy is essentially this kit's anal beads equivalent - a shaft made up of beads that gradually get bigger in size towards the base. This toy is flexible and inserting the beads is very pleasurable. The base features a suction cup meaning you can use it hands-free, which is a great addition.

Third, there's a toy that's built like a butt plug with two large, tapered beads. This anal beads/butt plug hybrid feels great to insert and gives quite a good stretch, and once again it features a suction cup base so it can be used for hands-free pleasure.

This is quite a unique toy that fills you up nicely and also has all the benefits afforded by a cock ring, such as helping you maintain an erection and prolonging ejaculation.

Each of these toys is made from soft and smooth silicone that feels premium and is nice and easy to use. Insertion is fairly simple with all of them - the butt plug is the most challenging - but we'd recommend using lube anyway.

Results From Our Testers

• For around 40 dollars the range of toys you get here is a great deal
• The vibrator is fairly powerful but only has one setting
• The anal beads are soft and flexible and not too challenging
• The plug with two bumps feels nice to use, the pinpoint end targets the prostate
• The regular plug is decent and the cock ring is a nice touch instead of a base

Pros and Cons

B-Vibe Rimming Plug 2 | Rotating and Vibrating Butt Plug

B-Vibe's Rimming Plug 2 is the vibrating butt plug that we believe to be the best available, partially due to how, in combination with its vibrations, it makes use of rotations for a one-two punch of pleasurable sensations. This gives it an edge over regular plugs and even most vibrating plugs, so it's a very welcome feature.

Standard plugs are a great way to increase pleasure during sex while also training you for trying anal penetration and sex, and this plug is capable of all that and more, thanks to its advanced features.

The vibrations here do feel good, but they still feel secondary to the rotations, at least in terms of how likely they are to bring you to orgasm. The more intense pleasure is provided by the multiple layers of rotating beads located in the stem of the plug, which allow it to provide some amazing rim job stimulation.

There are 7 unique modes and speeds for these vibrations and rotations, which can be controlled very easily with the included wireless remote control. As always, you can have some extra fun if you allow a partner to hold on to the control to let them adjust the stimulation for you.

The butt plug itself is built entirely out of soft, smooth silicone, and its tapered design and flared base make it pleasant to slip in, and nice and safe - no need to worry about it getting stuck, or lost. The insertable length of 4.8 inches and width of 1.5 inches may be a little big for beginners though.

Included with the set is a USB cable you'll be using for charging, as well as instructions, a warranty guide, an anal play guide, and a carrying case. Extras like this are always a neat bonus.

Results From Our Testers

• It's neat to see a butt plug with so many advanced features as without them they can be a bit boring for experienced users
• Vibrations feel good but the rotations are what makes the difference - the rotating beads feel awesome
• The silicone is very soft and smooth which helps a lot with the insertion
• This version is a lot more pleasurable to use than B-Vibe's 'petite' version - you can just feel everything a lot more
• Might be a bit too big for beginners

Pros and Cons

Dr.Skin Thin 8.5 Inch Suction Cup Vibrating Mocha Anal Dildo

We've tested a lot of toys for 2026, with several of our standout products sitting at the more expensive end of the market. However, you don't have to break the bank to get something that does the job as good if not better than other more expensive toys. This is the case with the Dr.Skin 8.5" Vibrating Anal Dildo.

It takes our top slot in the Most Realistic Anal Vibrator category, because, well, it absolutely looks the part. For those who don't want to splash out fifty to a hundred bucks, you can land a lengthy, veiny, vibrating cock that looks just like a cock should. While many products of this length are made fatter, this one sticks to a realistic width, which helps to replicate how a partner's penis would actually feel. What your partner can't do, however, is crank up the vibrations to send a strong buzz up your anal canal.

At its low price, you can't expect USB charging, Bluetooth remotes, or incredible apps to link it to your playlist, porn, or a wealth of online partners, but you can still control how hard it rumbles and buzzes, strap it up with your IRL partner, or stick it to the wall, floor, table, or bath and ride it to your heart's content.

Sometimes, going back to basics is all the fun you need. It slides in nice and easy with its slim, streamlined tip, fills you up with its 8 inches of insertable length, and tickles your prostate thanks to the slight bend in its shaft.

Results From Our Testers

• As lower-priced sex toys go, Dr.Skin offers plenty of features for a budget-friendly outlay
• Despite the remote being attached by a wire, it was long enough to be practical, and its variable strength was a lot of fun at the higher levels
• The rotating remote control dial made it easy to quickly whip back and forth from its lowest buzz to its highest—a fun feature you can't get from buttons
• The suction base sat nice and steady despite some extremely active testers
• Using standard AA batteries seems a little dated, but at its price point, you can't really expect too many advanced features
• A basic but nicely shaped and considered dildo that goes in easily, and adds a lot of fun compared to more expensive similar toys

Lovense Edge 2 App Controlled Flexible Vibrating Silicone Prostate Massager

Lovense's Edge 2 is an anal vibrator that, as its name suggests, can be controlled by a cell phone app through the power of Bluetooth. We believe it's the best app-controlled anal vibrator for 2026 thanks to how easy it is to set everything up, its ergonomic design, and its range of vibration options.

The enlarged bulb helps it stay in place as you use it, and the flared, perineum massaging base adds to the safety of using it. Connectivity is what this toy is all about, and it's where it really excels. Once connected to the Lovense Remote app, you have access to a database of over 10,000 vibration patterns, and you can sync it up to music for rhythmic pulses. It can even sync up to a morning alarm which is very situational but quite interesting.

This is always great fun, and it even extends to long-distance partners, making it a great choice if your partner can't be with you in person for whatever reason. The connectivity also allows connections with other sex toys, which really helps out with long-distance relationships.

The Lovense Edge 2 is waterproof, has a battery life of 90 minutes for an hour spent charging, and comes with a charging cable and storage bag that's great for keeping it safe in your drawer. It's quite a pricey toy, but for all the features we think it's a fairly reasonable price - there are a lot of more expensive toys that can do less.

Results From Our Testers

• The range of advanced features here is great - it seems like there's always something new to try
• The app control works really well
• The function database is crazy - you'll never get through them all, but it's basically endless possibilities
• Works great for long-distance sex
• Decent size for beginners but probably too expensive for someone who's just starting out

How to Choose the Best Anal Vibrator

1. Decide on the type of anal toy

As you've now seen, this list contains numerous different kinds of anal vibrators. While they're all in the same vein - they all focus on anal pleasure - each different variety has a slightly different purpose, offering different sensations and specializing in different niches.

Firstly, there are anal vibrators. These toys are more general, and while they will be able to pleasure your prostate, anus, and in a lot of cases your perineum, they aren't necessarily targeting a specific area. If you're looking for something that takes a more holistic approach to anal pleasure, an anal vibrator would work well.

Secondly, there are prostate massagers. These toys are designed to zero in on your prostate in an effort to take you all the way to an elusive prostate orgasm. Prostate pleasure is the most intense anal pleasure on offer, so if you're looking for a super intense orgasm, a prostate massager is probably what you need.

Thirdly, you have butt plugs. These toys are more focused on giving you a good stretch, either to prepare for anal sex or just for pleasure all on its own, as often the tip of the toy will rest right against your prostate. While they're definitely pleasurable, you generally leave them in your anus hands-free to intensify pleasure.

Fourthly, anal beads are also an option. They're a little more specialized than vibrators and massagers, as the pleasure lies in the specific way they're used, and not many other kinds of toys replicate this. They consist of a row of beads on either a flexible or rigid shaft and give you bursts of pleasure as you insert and remove them. They're a great addition to pre-existing anal toy collections.

Fifthly, there are classic dildos. Dildos are often designed to look like a penis, or at the very least, are a bit more phallic in their design. These toys are generally designed for vaginal use, but as with real penises, they work great in the butthole as well. Anyone looking for a realistic experience would do well with a dildo

Finally, we have rimming toys. Like prostate massagers, these toys often consist of a neck as well as a perineum stimulator, but their main focus is on replicating the sensation of a rimjob. This is usually accomplished with rows of beads located in the neck. If you're familiar with prostate and perineum stimulation, a rimming toy can be a good next step.

2. Choose according to your experience level

Don't be fooled into going all out and purchasing the most intense sex toy possible if you're a beginner. If you've never experienced anal play before we'd recommend first having an explore by yourself or with a partner using a finger or two before moving on to toys.

Once you've done that, you still won't be ready to get the craziest, most powerful toy ever as it can be very easy to get overwhelmed with this kind of thing. Instead, you need to take your inexperience into account, for multiple reasons. Your best option is to find a toy that's designed specifically for beginners, or at the very least, a kit that contains options suitable for you.

If you're just starting out, you don't want to make an extravagant purchase only to find out you don't like how it works - you can't return a used sex toy. It's best to start out with a lower budget so you can try out a few different things.

If you're a more advanced user, you're probably ready to increase your budget as you'll be more aware of what you're into. This is a great time to start exploring some more advanced features, as chances are you'll have a decent idea of what sensations you find pleasurable, as well as those that you don't.

We'd recommend staying away from the most powerful and expensive toys unless you're a bit of an expert. If you're well-versed in anal pleasure you probably know exactly what you want from a toy and thus will have greater success with the more luxurious and expensive devices - there's a much lower risk you'll be disappointed.

3. Consider USB charging (as opposed to batteries)

We're big proponents of using toys that have rechargeable batteries as opposed to toys that use single-use batteries. While having a rechargeable battery often initially makes a toy more expensive, you'll be saving a lot of money in the long run as you won't have to keep picking up packs of batteries for all your sex toys.

Some may argue that single-use batteries last longer, and while this is often technically true, once a single-use battery runs out of power you have to throw it away. This isn't the case with rechargeable batteries, so running out of power a little quicker is a sacrifice we're usually willing to make.

Furthermore, making use of rechargeable batteries is a fantastic way of eliminating waste, which makes them much better for the environment than single-use batteries. We rely on rechargeable batteries in so many of our devices nowadays that adding sex toys to the mix seems like a no-brainer - simply plug it in overnight like your phone, and it'll be ready and waiting for use the next day.

This isn't to say that toys that make use of single-use batteries are terrible or anything like that - one of the toys on this list uses them, and many of the wireless remotes that come with rechargeable toys require single-use batteries. Overall, you just need to consider what makes the most sense for you - in most cases, we find that rechargeable batteries work for us the best.

4. Consider extra functionalities

Extra functionalities have the potential to be some of the most exciting things about sex toys. Standard toys are awesome, but at some point, you're going to get used to what they have to offer - this is where extra functionalities come in.

There are various kinds of extra functionalities and advanced features included in the toys on this list. Vibrations are often considered an extra functionality, but since this list is purely made up of vibrating toys, we won't focus on them here - chances are you know them and you love them.

Designers one day decided that these bases could be used to stimulate your perineum for extra pleasure and started to include vibrators in them too - and the result was amazing. If you're looking for some simple additional stimulation, a perineum massager is a great choice.

Rim job stimulation is another method of providing additional stimulation, this time to the anus. Much like with a blow job, replicating a rim job isn't an easy task, but many toys accomplish a similar sensation with the use of rows of rotating beads. While this isn't a super realistic feeling, it does feel great in an area that often isn't the focus of anal toys. If you're into rim jobs or are just curious as to what they feel like, consider a rimming toy.

Finally, one of the more advanced kinds of extra features is interactive functionality. Some higher-end toys are able to connect to a phone app to access unique vibration patterns, sync up to music and other media, as well as other sex toys for more interesting couple play. These toys are also a great choice if you're in a long-distance relationship, as they allow your partner to control your toy from anywhere in the world.

Summary

Anal vibrators come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, all with a multitude of different exciting features that come with their own benefits and drawbacks. We were impressed by every single toy on this list, and while we believe that everyone can have fun with any of them, that doesn't necessarily mean that any given one of them will be right for you - you'll have to think a bit before deciding on the best option.

By considering what type of toy you're interested in - as well as what kind of additional features you'd like to give a try - all that's left to do is consider your level of experience, which should also inform your budget. As we mentioned already, we're fans of all of these toys, so we'd be willing to bet that everyone reading will be able to find an anal vibrator that suits them.
