Why I Chose It
I’ve picked out the b-Vibe Novice Plug as the Test Winner because of its overall quality, petite build, and special features. Our reviewer, Jess, mentioned that she “absolutely LOVED the B-Vibe Novice butt plug and I will recommend this to anyone who wants to start a journey in anal play, and even for anyone who just wants a really comfortable base anal plug.”
Not only is this a pretty small anal toy, the shape itself is made to assist newbies with insertion and general comfort during use. The tapered tip makes it a dream to insert and the slim body doesn’t feel too overwhelming. The T-shaped base with slightly rounded edges also makes it comfortable for wear during sex or for extended periods of time. Jess noted that the petite size made it possible for her to be “comfortably able to use a dildo and this plug at the same time and the feelings were AMAZING!”
The physical remote control adds a nice touch making it a lot easier to operate once inserted. This is always a plus in my book, since it can be a bit inconvenient to reach around to press the buttons. The 30 ft range of the remote makes it stand out as one of the remote controls with the longest range.
The price is quite steep for something so small. However, if I were looking for small or beginner-friendly anal toy but wanted to invest in something that would keep me interested for a lot longer after I graduated into intermediate anal play, I’d say it’s worth it! The vibrations are powerful and it’s a great unisex toy to share with a partner.

Best For Beginners Lovehoney Jewelled Iridescent Metal Butt Plug
- Iridescent metal butt plug
- Rainbow jewel on the base
- Slightly weighted for added sensation
Pros
- ✅ Easy to use and very beginner-friendly
- ✅ Great for long-term wear
- ✅ Ideal for wearing during partnered sex
- ✅ Compatible with all types of lube
Cons
- ❌ Cannot be fully sterilized
- ❌ Design may not be for everyone
Why I Chose It
I’ve picked out the Lovehoney Jewelled Iridescent Metal Butt Plug as the best option for newbies because I always recommend anal beginners start out with a classic metal butt plug. Here’s why:
It is a manageable size for most people who have already experimented with a finger or two. The tear-drop shape is also perfect for easy yet stimulating insertion. I am always thankful for butt plugs that have a thin neck between the body and the base. This helps the plug stay in place even as pressure is applied during orgasm or double penetration.
My personal favorite thing about metal butt plugs is the slight weighted sensation they add to the mix. In my experience, a simple metal butt plug like this really enhances the sensations and gives you a satisfyingly full feeling. Not to mention, the firmness of the metal feels really nice with such a small anal toy.
In terms of design, I know that some people would prefer something more simple. I personally enjoy when sex toys offer a playful or cute design element, like the jewel on the base or the iridescent metal that this plug is made of. So, it’s ultimately a question of preference, but for the price you’re getting this plug at, I appreciate the extra design elements.

Budget-Friendly Fifty Shades of Grey Pleasure Intensified Anal Beads
- Slim silicone anal beads
- Finger loop for good grip
- Beads gradually increase in size
- Super flexible
Pros
- ✅ Perfect for beginners who want to try something different
- ✅ Loop makes it very easy to hold with lubed up fingers
- ✅ 100% silicone that's easy to clean and sterilize
Cons
- ❌ A bit too flexible for easy insertion
Why I Chose It
I’ve actually had the pleasure of testing the Fifty Shades of Grey Pleasure Intensified Anal Beads myself. I think they are an ideal choice for anyone who is on a budget but still wants a good quality anal toy that isn’t too large.
These were actually my very first set of anal beads and I’m so glad I started out with them. The beads all have this slimline design and gradually increase in size. They start out super small (like half the size of a fingertip small) so I definitely think it’s good for total beginners as well. You can obviously stop at whichever bead you feel comfortable at.
One point of critique I have about this product is that it actually is a bit too flexible. Of course, flexibility is usually nice when you’re a beginner. However, with this design, it actually makes it a little more difficult to insert. Once you’re past the learning curve, it’s pretty easy to operate, but I generally prefer beginner-friendly products to be super simple to use from the get-go.
This is my lightest anal toy, it weighs almost nothing. Since they also come with a storage bag, they’re easy to travel with. They’re also super easy to sterilize and keep clean in between uses. All in all, I think the Fifty Shades of Grey Pleasure Intensified Anal Beads are a great and affordable option for anyone who wants to explore small anal toys but want a little something extra!

Expert Pick njoy Pure Plug Small
- Stainless steel butt plug with a unique shape
- Finger loop doubles as a safety stopper
- Super thin neck
Pros
- ✅ Hand-polished 316 medical grade stainless steel
- ✅ Ergonomic design helps target the prostate
- ✅ Available in three sizes
- ✅ Temperature responsive
- ✅ Includes a luxurious display storage box
Cons
- ❌ Not budget-friendly
- ❌ The lack of taper requires some warm-up and patience
- ❌ The added weight may be overwhelming for some
Why I Chose It
I chose to include the njoy Pure Plug Small as my Expert Pick because it’s one of my all-time favorite small anal toys to recommend. Yes, it is definitely a premium quality butt plug sold at a premium level price point, I’m not going to lie. Although it is expensive, it’s the kind of product that’ll be there to please you for life. Made of 316 medical grade, hand-polished stainless steel, this butt plug is incredibly durable and long-lasting.
Now, how is this one different from most other metal butt plugs? The bulb has a unique shape that’s meant to target the prostate for some firm massage. The shapes is also nice and stimulating to insert yet very comfortable to wear long-term because of the slim neck. I know that this also helps prevent the plug from popping out under pressure, so that’s a huge plus for me! The base is also slightly more sophisticated than your regular old flared base. It has a T-shaped loop that both sits comfortably between the cheeks and makes it a lot easier to grip during insertion and removal. Here’s how it worked for Rachel, who tested it for us:
“I found the njoy Pure Plug surprisingly easy to use. I say surprisingly because when I first looked at its bulbed tip, my butt clenched in fear. However, my fear was mostly unfounded. The super smooth steel makes inserting this butt plug a breeze.”
I also just love stainless steel anal toys in general. They are temperature responsive, compatible with all lubes, and provide firm massage and weighted sensation. As a sex toy expert, I cannot recommend this little thing more. It’s worth splurging on, in my humble opinion. As a regular consumer, however, I do recognize that it’s not very budget-friendly.

Best Anal Dildo Fun Factory Limba Flex S
- Flexible silicone dildo with a poseable shaft
- Super tapered tip for easy insertion
- Short insertable length
- Uniquely shaped suction cup base for better orientation.
Pros
- ✅ Adjustable shaft makes it super versatile
- ✅ Slim size and shape is ideal for beginners
- ✅ Targeted prostate or g-spot stimulation
- ✅ Suction cup base is incredibly strong
Cons
- ❌ Pointy tip can feel less satisfying for internal stimulation
- ❌ May be too short for comfortable use of suction cup base
- ❌ No storage bag included
Why I Chose It
The Fun Factory Limba Flex S is my top recommendation if you’re looking for a small anal dildo. Felicia tested it for us and was very impressed with the overall versatility of such a seemingly small and simple dildo.
“The feel of the Limba Flex S is similar to most silicone; silky and almost creamy to the touch. It’s made with 100% body safe, waterproof silicone and has a strong suction “Y” shaped base.” Having tried a fair share of Fun Factory products myself, I can attest to the quality of the materials. Although, in my experience, they can be very prone to attracting lint and dust, and definitely require a rinse before use.
Felicia’s biggest bone to pick with the Limba Flex S was that the stem was almost too short if you wanted to use the suction cup base. “[…] it’s too short to stick to the floor and have some personal fun. I’m a chubby girl, so it could’ve just been too much of myself in the way, but I was quite sad I wasn’t able to use it like that at first.” It seems as if this dildo is best suited for hand-held solo play, assistance from a partner, and strap-on fun.
“Another thing I’d like to point out is though it’s very flexible, having the metal rod in the centre makes the Limba Flex on the harder side, and the tip can feel a bit sharp on certain angles, so I would suggest taking things a bit slow until you get a feel for it. On the positive side, it 100% kept its shape!”. That said, firmer dildos are, in my experience, a lot better suited for anal play than super flexible ones, since they’re easier to insert.
In terms of price, I think this dildo is relatively affordable. It’s not super cheap but I think the price is fair for the quality and adjustable feature you’re getting. “All-in-all, I feel the Limba Flex S is a good addition to anyone’s secret stash. It’s stylish, sporty, sleek, versatile, and best of all, you can form it to hit the right spot.”

- Physical wireless remote included as well.
Pros
- ✅ Wearable prostate and perineum pleasure
- ✅ Powerful and rumbly vibrations
- ✅ Remote control for easy operation and fun partner play
- ✅ App controls allow for complete customization
- ✅ The toy itself is slightly adjustable for a better fit to your body

Why I Chose It
“I absolutely love the We-Vibe Vector+. I think it is an amazing modern addition to anyone’s collection especially if a long distance partner is in the picture. I have never used a more powerful, well designed, comfortable, or fun vibrator before this one. The features this toy packs in such a small and convenient package blows my mind.”
As you can tell, Robby, who tested this prostate massager for us, really enjoyed this small anal toy. I can certainly understand that as it is, from a sex toy expert’s perspective, a very well-made product with impressive features and performance.
First, I want to emphasize that the design is amazing for first-time prostate explorers. While the diameter of 1.1 inches perhaps does require that you’ve at least experimented with one of two fingers, that’s still a relatively small size for an anal toy.
The device itself is slightly poseable so you can adjust the angle to fit your body better. The perineum vibrator is also designed to line up perfectly with your body. “There is nothing more difficult than finding a vibrator that fits your body well and is comfortable to use. (The WeVibe Vector+) is a slam dunk in comfort and it fits my body very well due to its shape and slenderness.”
What makes this prostate massager stand out is the remote control and app control features. “Really what it comes down to is the customization the app allows me to have. I am a complete slut for the We-Vibe app and it’s innumerous personal settings each user can cater to themselves with.”
Even though it is significantly more expensive than some of the other products in this review, this is an example of a small anal toy that offers just as much luxury and high tech play than larger toys. I can vouch for it and so can Robby: “I love this toy and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a prostate vibrator that is high tech, comfortable, extremely portable, and well designed.”

Best Types of Small Anal Toys for First-Timers
- Butt Plugs – These small plugs are designed to sit inside your butt, providing a sense of “fullness” that can aid your sexual experience and orgasms.
- Anal Beads – These beads provide stimulation during insertion and removal, with the latter often occurring near/during orgasm.
- Anal-Safe Dildos – These small dildos have flared bases that prevent them from being over inserted into the anus.
- Prostate Massagers – These massagers are designed to be inserted into the anus, specifically targeting the prostate. They often provide vibrations as an extra level of stimulation.
How to Choose Your Ideal Small Anal Toy
Not sure which toy to pick?
Here are a few factors to mull over while comparing your options!
- Materials – Medical-grade silicone is usually the way to go! This is because silicone is a non-porous material that’s easy to clean, can be sterilized, and won’t retain smells (metal, ABS plastic, and glass are also non-porous). I always recommend avoiding porous materials like TPE as they can harbor bacteria and can’t be properly sterilized.
- Size – I know this list is for “small” toys, but what does “small” mean to you? Consider both length and girth when searching for a new toy.
- Shape – The shape of your new toy will affect where it can reach/how effectively it can reach. It will also affect the stimulation it provides during insertion/use/removal.
- Vibrations – Although not necessary, many people find the addition of vibrations to be highly stimulating. You should make sure that your new toy offers a wide variety of vibration functions, as some toys offer more options than others.
- Waterproof – If you want to use your toy in the shower then waterproofing is a must! Don’t settle for “splashproof”; you’ll need a waterproof toy if you want to include it in your aquatic adventures.
- Suction Cup – Having an integrated suction cup will allow you to stick your toy to any flat, smooth surface. This is especially helpful if you want to ride your toy hands-free!
- Remote Controls – Using anal toys with buttons can be annoying since you can’t easily see/operate the buttons. Toys with remote controls are much easier to use, although they may cost a bit more.
- Price – Pricing shouldn’t be your main consideration, but it’s definitely still a factor. Depending on the type of toy you’re looking for (such as a butt plug or small strap-on), the average price will differ. I would recommend closely comparing your favorite models to see if it’s really worth paying extra!
Butt Plug or Anal Beads?
Two of the most popular types of small anal toys are butt plugs and anal beads.
But, what is the difference between these two legendary sex toys and which one is the right choice for you?
Butt Plugs
Butt plugs are great if you want a low-key sex toy you can use to enhance other sexual experiences. The anus is packed full of super-sensitive, pleasure receptive nerve endings.
Butt plugs are specifically designed to sit snugly in the anus and continually apply pressure to these nerves. As plugs are also designed to stay put, your hands are freed up to do their own naughty pleasuring.
Small anal toys such as plugs are perfect to use during penetrative vaginal sex or while using another sex toy to add a whole new dimension of stimulation.
Anal Beads
While anal beads can be inserted and and worn similar to a butt plug, they typically provide much less sensation.
Where the majority of the pleasurable sensations come from is during insertion and removal. As each bead passes the anus you will feel intense stimulation. Small anal beads are particularly effective when removed at the point of orgasm.
Where butt plugs are well suited as a complimentary sex toy, anal beads are more of a main event.
Anal beads are also great for beginners as they generally graduate in size, starting from a small and easily insertable bead. You also have more freedom to choose the length that you would like to insert.
