While you can use these for any other type of orifice too, “anal” dildos specifically refer to those that feature a flared base for safety. Since the anal muscles can accidentally suck things into the rectum, this acts as a stopper and often also allows the dildo to be used in a strap-on harness. Some anal dildos feature a suction-cup base which lets the user securely attach the dildo to a flat and smooth surface such as a tile wall or on the floor. It can then be used for all kinds of hands-free fun as you thrust away! Due to the location of the prostate, it is easiest accessed through a specific angle within the anus and prostate toys have been designed with this angle in mind! With the natural back and forth movements of the anal muscles, the perineum is simultaneously being stimulated - whether through pressure, movement, or even vibration!
