This is a great beginner prostate toy, it's relatively small and very simple to use, and I would definitely recommend for anyone interested in getting into prostate stimulation!
The entire exterior is made of a black silicone, with one main bulbous body piece that is inserted and then two tabs that protrude at the base to stimulate the erogenous zones near the anus. The inserted piece has three sections that stimulate different regions internally, focusing on the prostate with a somewhat more aggressive angle than some of their other offerings. The two tabs have some flexibility but they are not adjustable like the new Psy model. The front tab is meant to apply some external prostate pressure, while the rear tab is called the "Kundalini" tab and is meant to provide some extra stimulation. The pair of tabs helps keeps the toy stabilized and in place nicely. Overall it's a very simple toy, and I think that's ideal.
Experience
As mentioned above, this is a pretty simple toy - just insert it and then you can either move it slightly manually to apply stimulation to just the right spot, or leave it pressed up against your prostate and let your muscles do the work. I will note you definitely need a good amount of lubrication, though the smooth silicone makes it very comfortable to insert. Specifically you will want to use a water or oil based lubricant, as a silicone based one could damage the toy. The body is about an inch wide at the largest section so you need to take your time slowly rubbing around the anus and gently inserting back and forth until your body sort of pulls it in, and the bottom inserted section is only quite narrow so it's comfortable to wear after the wider parts are inside you. The position your body is in will also make a difference as to how easy it is to insert - personally I used Aneros' recommend positioning of laying on your side with your bottom leg outstretched and top leg pulled towards your chest.
Once inserted, don't worry about the toy falling out, the tabs keeps it stabilized and the different sized sections inside ensure it won't move too far out of you. Now you can start slightly clenching or flexing the PC muscles makes the toy move around a little on it's own both back and forth and side to side for quite a bit of stimulation. The PC muscles are specifically the group of muscles you used to stop peeing, essentially you're doing kegels. This can take some time to get used to, and it's not going to be a mind blowing sensation at first. They key is really relaxing and letting it build, not trying to push the toy into your prostate for maximum pressure. It's a very unique sensation for anyone new to prostate stimulation and it definitely took me some time with a few different toys to learn that less is more. Once you get used to the motion by alternative flexing and relaxing the muscles you can try holding the flex for a while or using a rhythmic pattern to help build the stimulation. After some time you'll start to feel a tingling which for me feels similar to the building up of the beginning of a regular orgasm. While I have yet to reach the elusive hands free prostate orgasm, this is still a very nice sensation, and it adds a whole new dimension when paired with regular penis stimulation whether you are wearing it during sex or using another toy.

Price
Personally, I think the toy is a little overpriced at retail considering how small it is and how few "extra" features it has. But with frequent sales at various toy retailers I think if you get it for under $50 it's pretty good value for money. Aneros uses the highest quality FDA approved materials and even includes an Amazon Transparency barcode on the (very nice) packaging to ensure you're getting a real product. I think all of that peace of mind is worth it for a toy you're inserting into yourself, especially considering that are is a sensitive and permeable membrane.
Comparisons to other options
I personally found this to be a much easier option to start with compared to the famed Njoy Pure Wand (or Le Wand's similar options). The silicone body was personally more comfortable than metal because it doesn't require warming first (and isn't as jarring to insert if not pre-warmed), and it's softer. The toy is MUCH lighter which means you can use it for longer, and once inserted it's essentially hands free, while the Njoy/Le wand options require staying in one position or holding in place with your hands. You do have less customizability in how you stimulate the prostate though, the angle is set and once inserted there isn't a lot of play beyond using your muscles internally.
There also no vibrations like some other prostate toys, including Aneros' other offerings, and while that does offer another layer of stimulation, I find that vibrations can quickly numb the area and actually make it harder to find the sensations you're looking for. I'd recommend this more manual stimulation for a beginner, but having the option could be nice.
This is also a cheaper toy than many of the options listed above, coming in at near half the price of the metal wands mentioned and $30 cheaper than the vibrating version of the same toy, and I think that's worth noting.
Materials and care
Because the toy is made of silicone it is pretty easy to clean, just washing with an antibacterial soap is enough, though it might retain some smells. That's just a downside of using silicone, which is prone to retaining smells in any use case, but I think the pros outweigh the cons on that material choice. Another option that could help neutralize smells is soaking it in a diluted vinegar solution or (even more diluted) bleach solution and then thorough rinse with water after. Aneros advises against boiling to sterilize as this could deform the toy, which is unfortunate because heat would likely help with removing odors. Even if it retains smells after washing with antibacterial soap, it is safe to use, and considering where it'll be going on the next use I wouldn't worry too much.
It's definitely a "pocket" toy, it's quite compact, but also quite tight so not ideal for larger people. Unfortunately it seems to have some quality control issues also that make it difficult to recommend.
A nice alternative option compared to strokers which provides a very different sensation, but it might not be enough on its own to get some people over the edge.
A great stroker with nice stimulation throughout the different chambers, soft TPE, and a squeeze plate function if you need just a little extra sensation.
The Ass Berry Plug is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to dip their toes into anal play or for those who enjoy a simple, comfortable toy that’s easy to use and clean. While it might not be intense enough for more experienced users, it’s a great addition to any collection. For the price, you’re getting a high-quality, fun, and effective toy—definitely worth considering if you’re a beginner or want something low-key and pleasurable.
If you’ve been curious about anal play but felt overwhelmed by the options, let me introduce you to the CalExotics X-10 Beads. These beads are designed to ease you into the experience with their gradual sizing and simple, effective design. The clever design allows you to start small (with some itty-bitty beads) and progress at your own pace (to the larger, more ball-like beads). The spacing between the beads offers plenty of room for movement without any slips, and their flexibility ensures they adapt naturally to your body. Talk about comfort! They're a low-risk, easy choice for anyone new to anal toys or looking for a gentler, more relaxed experience. One standout feature is the pull-out ring, which adds an extra layer of safety and control. Whether you’re using the beads solo or with a partner, the loop ensures a secure grip for smooth retrieval, so you can focus entirely on the sensations without any worries. It’s a small but crucial detail that makes the X-10 Beads especially beginner-friendly.
More experienced users might find the smaller beads too subtle, but the larger ones deliver a satisfying “pop” sensation that makes the journey worthwhile. Their approachable size also makes them great for warm-ups or adding variety to partnered play. The PVC material, while body-safe and phthalate-free, is porous, so proper cleaning is essential. Wash with mild soap and warm water, or use a toy cleaner, to keep them hygienic. While I’d prefer silicone for its non-porous nature, the trade-off is understandable given the price.
While they lack the intensity of larger or vibrating options, the X-10 Beads are a great pick for gentle exploration or mixing things up. Whether you’re dipping your toes into anal play or just looking for something low-key, these beads offer comfort and pleasure without breaking the bank.
Fuze Pleasure Plug 1 is a high-quality and comfortable plug that will ease you in slowly and safely. If you're new to anal play, and looking for a plug that's gentle, not intimidating, and body-safe the Fuze Pleasure Plug 1 is an excellent choice. But if you're craving size, intense sensations or vibrations this might not be the toy you want to purchase. This toy fits on the premium end of beginner toys - not overpriced, but definitely more of an investment piece than a casual experiment.
The Nu Sensuelle Mini Plug is a small and compact anal toy that is sure to delight beginners and newcomers to back door play. The small and compact size of the Mini Plug is comfortable, but not without it's flaws. The Nu Sensuelle Mini Plug boasts 3 Different vibrating speeds, along with 12 Different pulsing and vibrating patterns, for a total of 15 total different play modes. While some of the pulsing and buzzing patterns are better than others, all of them bring some level of delight and pleasure.
The smaller sleek design is made for comfort, but the length isn't quite enough to fully reach the prostate and give it that "Oh yeah!" factor. One of the bigger downsides, at least in my humble opinion, is the total battery length. This small device takes almost two hours to fully charge, and lasts anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes depending on which patterns or how intense of a vibration you decide.
The one button design is easy to use, but you have to constantly press the button to cycle through each pattern, making it a little difficult to find the right pattern, as you have to keep cycling through, and have to completely cycle through and shut it off to start cycling through all over again.
The flared base helps to make sure it doesn't get lost in your nether regions, however the rather skinny design doesn't help keep it in place, and often times I have had to reinsert it because the pattern or vibration caused it to slip out. The device itself isn't all together that loud, but can become louder with some of the more intense vibration and patterns. All in all this is a perfect little device for beginners, that is sure to delight for what it is.
Lovense Hush 2 in my opinion is the best high tech vibrating butt plug. This butt plug is for anyone who's graduated the basic anal training kits and wants to splurge on a vibrating butt plug, trust me you wont need a new one for the next few years.
Great for self pleasure sessions, long distance play, discrete public play or having your anus locked in during intercourse. Compatible with VibeMate AI sync feature giving you another dimension while enjoying erotica or any other form of audio-visual content.
The Hanyunmy 16-inch Anal Trainer turned out to be a fantastic tool for enhancing my anal play experience. Its soft, flexible silicone and gradual bead design made insertion comfortable and allowed me to slowly increase depth and stretch my internal capacity. While it's not the largest trainer out there, it's perfect for anyone looking to explore longer toys and push their limits.
The measurement guide etched into the silicone was a nice touch, making it easy to track my progress. The trainer’s ability to fold in on itself helped me go deeper without any discomfort, showing that it really does increase both depth and internal girth over time. Whether you're just starting out or looking to expand your horizons, the Hanyunmy 16-inch Anal Trainer is a great choice to explore new sensations and take your pleasure to the next level.
The Hanyunmy 16-Inch Anal Trainer scored 25/30, earning a solid rating of 4/5. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in anal training, whether you're just starting out or aiming to expand your experiences.
For those who enjoy anal stimulation, this plug is definitely an option to consider. The Hello Cake Buzzy Butt vibrating butt plug is made of body-safe silicone, and has a long T-shaped base, so it's quite easy to insert and pull out, the base also ensures there's no fear of the toy being sucked in too far.
Hello Cake states that the toy can be used for both beginners and those with more experience, but I feel like it's a bit large for a beginner. Just like the company states, it's "not too small, not too big". It's also a bit long, reviewers mention that because of its length, it can stimulate the prostate quite easily. As a transgender man, I still enjoy the toy a lot!
The toy is waterproof, so you can wear it practically anywhere. The toy does fit a bit snugly, hence why I don't see it as beginner friendly, but the T-shaped base definitely helps with this a lot. This toy can be ordered on the Hello Cake website, Amazon, or even in physical stores. To reach a full charge, the toy must charge for 120 minutes. When fully charged, it can be used for up to an hour on low vibrating speed, or around 45 minutes on higher speeds.
These vibrating anal beads offer a great length of reach for anal play. The beads are comfortable and great upon insertion. The motors inside of this toy are incredibly firm and powerful.
