The Best Anal Toys in Canada: Reviews, Comparisons, and a Buying Guide
A Canadian buying guide to the best anal toys: beginner plugs, prostate massagers, beads and app-controlled picks. Price tiers from September 2026.
Updated September 2026 · Adults 18+
Anal toys have the widest gap of any category between bought well and bought badly, and the difference almost never comes down to fancy features. It comes down to three things the box rarely explains: a base wide enough that the toy cannot slip in and get stuck, a body-safe material you can actually keep clean, and a size you can genuinely relax around.
One rule with no exceptions: anything that goes in the anus needs a flared base or a retrieval ring. The rectum has no natural stopping point. This pillar covers plugs, prostate massagers and beads as sections, then links down to anal plugs, prostate massagers and anal beads for the full lists. For flared-base shafts, see the dildo hub. For lube, see anal lubricant.
How we researched this guide
Rows are named products whose construction we can read on a manufacturer page or a Canadian listing, as of September 2026. We only keep a genuinely flared base (or a retrieval ring, for beads) in non-porous, body-safe silicone. Maker specs are labelled as such. CAD figures are $ / $$ / $$$ tiers from that window, tax extra, not a checkout price.
- Flared base and body-safe silicone first. Jelly, PVC and unmarked TPE are out.
- Jobs: first plug, wearable app plug, first prostate, dual-motor prostate, experienced wave, long-distance.
- Recurring buyer notes we treat as patterns: bases too small, sizing up too fast, not enough lube, porous toys that smell, hollow toys that are a chore to clean.
- Canadian availability: Fun Factory CA, LELO and Lovense links on this page, plus the product pages in each pick.
- How we read specs: methodology.
The types of anal toys, and who each is for
Most first-time confusion comes from not knowing which kind of toy you actually want. Plugs stay in place. Prostate massagers are curved to reach the prostate. Beads are a graduated string you control on the way in and out. Anal vibrators overlap plugs and prostate toys. A dildo with a flared base is for thrusting, not a stay-put plug.
How to read an anal-toy listing: base, material, size, type and care.
Check
Base
- What it means
- A flared flange wider than the body, or a firm retrieval ring on beads. This is a safety spec, not a preference.
- Watch for
- A thin stem, a suction cup that is not a true flare, household objects, open-ended tunnels.
Check
Material
- What it means
- Platinum or 100 percent silicone, borosilicate glass, or stainless steel. Non-porous, washable.
- Watch for
- Jelly, PVC, unmarked TPE or “rubber”. Porous material is a worse idea anally than anywhere else.
Check
Size
- What it means
- Insertable length and maximum diameter. Start near a finger’s width. Step up when the current size is easy.
- Watch for
- Buying the largest photo. A set of sizes (Bootie) is a feature. Use it.
Check
Type
- What it means
- Plug for fullness and wearing. Prostate massager for a front-wall curve. Beads for paced in-and-out. Flared dildo for thrusting.
- Watch for
- Calling every toy “versatile”. The job decides the shape.
Check
Care
- What it means
- Smooth non-motorized silicone, glass or steel can often be sanitized (check the maker). Motors are hand-wash only.
- Watch for
- Hollow, ridged or corded beads that trap residue. Strings of hard beads on a porous cord.

Top Picks
Fun Factory Bootie
Best first anal toy: a non-vibrating plug in body-safe silicone, three sizes, tapered tip, flared base.
Best for. A first plug, or anyone building up gradually. Skip if. You specifically want vibration or app control from the start.
Fun Factory publishes the Bootie as a body-safe silicone plug with a tapered tip, a flexible neck and a flared base. The maker lists three sizes, so you start small instead of guessing. Because there is no motor, a 100 percent silicone plug like this can often be boiled or dishwashed to sanitize. Check the maker note first.
The most common way people put themselves off anal play is buying one size too big. Start with the smallest unless you already know your fit. See Fun Factory Bootie. Browse more in anal plugs.
$ in September 2026 Canadian research on Fun Factory CA. Water-based lubricant, and plenty of it. A flared base is mandatory.
Pros
- Three published sizes on the same shape, so you can progress
- Tapered tip and a flared base, on the maker page
- No electronics. Simple to wash and, if the maker allows, to sanitize
Cons
- No vibration, by design
- The smallest size may feel too subtle once you are used to it
- Suction-cup dildos are not a substitute for this flared plug base
Lovense Hush 2
Best app-controlled wearable plug: body-safe silicone, flared base, phone and long-distance control.
Best for. Wearable play, couples, and long-distance control. Skip if. You want the simplest first plug, or you would rather not deal with an app.
Lovense lists the Hush 2 as a vibrating butt plug in body-safe silicone with a flared base, built to be worn and controlled from a phone, including from another room or another city. Custom patterns and long-distance control sit in the Lovense app. More than one size is published, so size down if you are newer to plugs.
It is an electronic toy: charging, app setup, and hand-wash within its waterproof rating. It cannot be boiled like a plain silicone plug. See Lovense Hush 2. More plugs live under anal plugs.
$$ in September 2026 Canadian research. Water-based lubricant. Charge before the first session.
Pros
- App and long-distance control, on the maker page
- Hands-free and discreet to wear, with a flared base
- Multiple sizes so it can scale with experience
Cons
- Charging and an app. That is a feature for some and a fuss for others
- Clean by hand within the waterproof rating. Do not boil it
- Not the simplest first plug. Start with the Bootie if you want silence
LELO Billy 2
Best beginner prostate massager: a slim, rechargeable shaft in body-safe silicone with a handle / flared base.
Best for. A first prostate massager, or anyone who wants something discreet and slim. Skip if. You want strong, hands-free, dual-motor stimulation right away.
LELO publishes the Billy 2 as a slim prostate massager in body-safe silicone, rechargeable, with a handle that doubles as a flared base. The narrow profile is the point: enough curve to find the spot, not so much girth that it is a first-session wall.
A plug stays put for fullness. A prostate massager is curved to reach about two to three inches in, toward the front wall. See LELO Billy 2. The full range is on prostate massagers.
$$$ in September 2026 Canadian research. Water-based lubricant. Charge before the first session.
Pros
- Slim published profile, so a first prostate buy stays approachable
- Body-safe silicone and a flared handle base, on the spec sheet
- Rechargeable. No disposable cells
Cons
- Premium price for a first toy
- Less powerful and less hands-free than the dual-motor Hugo row
- Not a stay-put plug. The job is targeted pressure, not wearing
LELO Hugo
Best all-round prostate massager we stock: two motors (tip and base), remote control, hands-free once seated. Hugo 2 is the updated, app-connected sibling.
Best for. Hands-free prostate and perineum work from one seated toy. Skip if. Budget is tight, or you want something slim to start. Get the Billy 2.
LELO lists the Hugo as a hands-free prostate massager with two motors, one in the tip against the prostate and one in the base against the perineum, plus six settings and a remote. The Hugo uses LELO’s motion-sensing remote. The Hugo 2 is the updated, app-connected version on the same job.
Once it is in, it stays put and works both spots. That is a different school from a motorless Aneros-style toy, which we do not stock. See LELO Hugo. Compare the line on prostate massagers.
$$$ in September 2026 Canadian research. Water-based lubricant. The seating angle takes a session.
Pros
- Two published motors: prostate tip and perineum base
- Genuinely hands-free once seated, with remote or app on Hugo 2
- Body-safe silicone, rechargeable
Cons
- Premium price
- The motion-sensing remote takes a session to get used to
- The shape has a learning curve for seating it correctly
LELO Loki Wave
Best experienced prostate pick: a come-hither wave arm on top of vibration, larger than the Billy 2. Loki and Loki Wave 2 sit in the same line.
Best for. Experienced users who already like prostate play and want a stronger, more specific motion. Skip if. You are new to prostate play. Start with the Billy 2 or Hugo.
LELO publishes the Loki Wave with a moving “come-hither” arm against the prostate, plus vibration, in body-safe silicone with a handle base. It is larger and more specific than the Billy 2. The Loki and Loki Wave 2 sit alongside it.
The wave motion is polarizing. Some people want that beckoning press. Others prefer straightforward vibration. See LELO Loki Wave.
$$$ in September 2026 Canadian research. Water-based lubricant. Not a first prostate toy.
Pros
- Published wave / tapping motion on top of vibration
- Body-safe silicone and a handle base, on the spec sheet
- The same line has Loki and Loki Wave 2 if you want a sibling
Cons
- Premium price. Girth and intensity are too much for a first toy
- The wave motion divides buyers
- Not a wearable plug
Lovense Ridge
Best long-distance prostate pick: app control through the Lovense app, the prostate counterpart to the Hush 2.
Best for. Couples apart, or anyone who wants prostate play driven from a phone. Skip if. You want a motorless, Kegel-driven massager, or a first slim prostate toy.
Lovense lists the Ridge as an app-controlled prostate massager with vibration and long-distance control through the Lovense app. Body-safe silicone, anchored base. Confirm current features and modes on the product page. That is a maker line, not a score we invent.
Aneros-style motorless toys move when you contract the pelvic floor. We do not stock those. See Lovense Ridge. Full range in prostate massagers.
$$$ in September 2026 Canadian research. Water-based lubricant. Charge and pair the app before the first session.
Pros
- App and long-distance control, on the maker page
- Body-safe silicone with an anchored base
- The prostate counterpart to the Hush 2 for couples apart
Cons
- An app is a feature for some and a fuss for others
- Clean by hand within the waterproof rating
- Not a first slim prostate toy. Start with the Billy 2 if you are new
Best anal toys for beginners
Buy for comfort and control, not ambition. Three things make a first toy easy: a small size, a tapered tip, and a secure flared base. Body-safe silicone is the only material we suggest for a first internal toy. The Bootie is the beginner row.
A graduated set of silicone anal beads with a solid retrieval ring is an excellent first toy for the same reason: you control every bead. For anyone with a prostate, a slim prostate massager is often a better first purchase than a plug. Browse starter plugs in anal plugs and options in anal beads.
Best butt plugs, and the best app-controlled plug
A plug’s job is to stay put. That is a different job from beads, which move through the sphincter one sphere at a time. Read the full best butt plug guide for Bootie, Hush 2, size, T-bar versus disc bases, and when steel or glass belongs in the conversation.
Best anal toys for men: prostate massagers
A prostate massager is a curved toy that reaches the prostate, about two to three inches in, toward the front wall. Read the full best prostate massager guide for Billy 2, Hugo, Loki Wave, the Ridge’s rotating-bead design, and when Aneros or Njoy belongs in the conversation. We do not stock those.
Best anal toys for women
Anal play is not gendered, and neither are most of these toys. The intent behind “best anal toys for women” is usually a plug for fullness or wearing (Bootie, then Hush 2), beads for gradual control, or something for both partners / long-distance (Hush 2, often paired with a couples toy). The buying rules are the same: flared base, body-safe silicone, start small, lots of lube.
Best anal beads
Beads are beginner-friendly because you control every moment. What makes a good set: a solid retrieval ring or handle, one-piece seamless body-safe silicone, and a gentle size gradient. Avoid strings of hard beads on a cord, and any porous material.
We do not stock a dedicated bead set. For the full best anal beads guide, see anal beads. Same standard: seamless silicone, a real retrieval ring, and a size you can control.
How to choose an anal toy
Follow this order. Skip a step and you buy twice.
- Base. A flared flange wider than the body, or a firm retrieval ring on beads. A suction cup is not automatically a safe flare.
- Material. Platinum or 100 percent silicone, glass or steel. Read sex toy materials.
- Size. Insertable length and maximum diameter. Start near a finger’s width. Use a size set (Bootie) if you have one.
- Shape. Tapered tip for entry. A curve for prostate. Flexibility in the neck for wearing. Firmer curve for targeted pressure.
- Wear and motors. A flat T-bar or disc base sits more comfortably than a bulbous stem. Vibration adds charging and an app.
- Lube. The anus does not self-lubricate. A thicker anal lubricant is the default. Water-based on silicone. See toy-compatible lubricant.
Corrections and funding rules: editorial policy and methodology.
Anal safety: the rules that actually matter
- Flared base or retrieval ring, every single time. Household objects do not qualify.
- Go slow and use lots of lube. Pain is information, not something to work through.
- Size up gradually. Steps, not leaps.
- Body-safe, non-porous material only. Inspect glass or steel for chips.
- Never go from anal to vaginal without cleaning first.
- Wash, rinse and dry after every session. See how to clean sex toys.
- Do not boil a motorized toy. Stop for pain. This page describes products, not a medical protocol.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What readers ask before they buy a first anal toy in Canada.
What is the best anal toy for a beginner?
A small, tapered, body-safe silicone plug with a secure flared base. The Fun Factory Bootie is a strong first choice because it comes in three sizes. A graduated set of silicone anal beads with a retrieval ring is just as good, since you control every centimetre. For anyone with a prostate, a slim prostate massager like the LELO Billy 2 is often the higher-payoff first buy. Start smaller than you think and use plenty of lube.
Why does an anal toy need a flared base?
The rectum has no natural stopping point the way the vagina does, and the muscles can draw an object inward. A base clearly wider than the toy’s body stops that. Never use anything anally without a flared base or a retrieval ring, including dildos and household objects.
What is the best material for an anal toy?
Body-safe silicone for most people: soft, warms to the body, non-porous. Stainless steel and borosilicate glass are excellent too. Avoid porous materials (jelly, PVC, unspecified TPE or “rubber”) for anything internal. If a product will not clearly state “100% silicone”, assume it is porous. Njoy steel plugs are a market reference, not a product we stock.
What are the best anal toys for men?
For people with a prostate, a prostate massager is usually the best starting point. The LELO Billy 2 is a slim first pick; the LELO Hugo adds dual motors and hands-free remote control; the Loki Wave is the pick once you are experienced. The Lovense Ridge is the long-distance row. Beginners can also start with a small plug. See prostate massagers for the full range.
What is a prostate massager and how is it different from a plug?
A plug stays put for the feeling of fullness. A prostate massager is curved to reach and press the prostate, about two to three inches in, toward the front of the body, usually with vibration and often a second arm for the perineum. If you want targeted internal stimulation, get a prostate massager. If you want steady fullness or something to wear, get a plug.
How big should my first anal toy be?
Small, roughly a finger’s width to start. Diameter matters far more than length. Read the maximum diameter, match it to what is comfortable, and step up only when the current size is easy. Buying too big is the most common way people give up on anal play.
How do I choose and use lube for anal?
The anus does not self-lubricate, so use a generous amount of a thicker, anal-specific lubricant and reapply. Water-based lube works with every toy and material, and is the only safe choice with silicone toys and condoms. Silicone lube lasts longer and is ideal for glass and steel, but can damage some silicone toys. See the anal lube guide.
Are anal beads good for beginners?
Yes. You control the pace, and the sensation is strongest on removal. Choose a seamless one-piece silicone set with a firm retrieval ring, starting small. Avoid strings of hard beads and any porous material. We point you to the bead subcategory rather than inventing a pick we do not stock.
Can I use a regular dildo anally?
Only if it has a genuinely flared base wider than its shaft. A suction-cup base is not automatically a safe flared base. Body-safe material, plenty of lube, gradual size still apply. See the dildo guide for shapes designed with a proper base.
How do I clean an anal toy?
Warm water and unscented soap before and after every use, then dry fully. Smooth, non-motorized 100 percent silicone, glass and steel can usually be boiled or dishwashed (check the maker). Never do that to a motorized toy. Always clean before moving a toy from anal to vaginal use. See how to clean sex toys.
Is anal play safe?
Yes, with a body-safe toy that has a flared base, plenty of lube, a size you can relax around, and a slow pace. Pain means stop and add lube or size down. The two avoidable problems are losing a base-less toy, and cross-contamination between anal and vaginal use.
