Go for it honey! Some people lllovve vibrators in their butts, so if you are craving it or even just a little bit curious, try it out. The 3 rules when picking out a toy that will be used in your butt is it must have a base on it so it can't get sucked into the rectum. Something that is just attached to a cord is NOT safe to stick up the butt. You want to make sure that it can't get sucked into the rectum, thus the base on it. Looking under butt toys if shopping online at reputable sites will all have bases on the toys. 2. If you are going to engage in any anal play, lubricant is a must and the right lube is essential. I would recommend Maximus as it is the thickest, and you want thick for anal play as the rectum doesn't make it's own lubricant like the vagina does, so you need to help it out a little more. Lubricant makes it less likely for tearing of tissues to occur. 3.You want a safe material to be placing in your body, so here's the list of safe materials: Silicone, glass, hard plastic, acyrlic, elastomeer. NO JELLY LATEX or CYBERSKIN-these materials are toxic and have been linked to cancer. If you don't have a store around you, you can purchase things online at our site under shopping. "Zing" is a popular fun silicone vibrator/butt toy. Good luck and enjoy!
