Tracy's Dog Shrooms Butt Plug Vibrator

Tracey Cox Supersex Beginner's Butt Plug
The perfect beginner's plug. This baby has an ample handle and a max of 1.3 inches in girth and 4.5 inches in depth. The slender, tapered shape makes it perfect for a nudge in and around the rear.

Blush Sassy Anal Beads
Drumroll for the anal beads, please! Unlike plugs (which, well, stay plugged) stringed anal beads are meant to be gently inserted and exerted, which is why it's so wonderful to find a set with such varied bead size. With ten graduations, this is a set into which beginners can truly grow; even before insertion, try gently sliding the beads up and down the outside of the anus to relax and stimulate.

Lovehoney Basics Beaded Butt Plug
Same, but different pretty much wraps up the distinction between your classic butt plug and a beaded plug. This pretty (and pliable) little number fits in the palm of your hand and is a great gateway to anal beads with its four graduated sizes and flared base (which prevents over-insertion). Again: bring the lube.

Maude Cone (Medium)
A sleek design – and show-stopping silhouette, if we may say so – makes this medium-sized plug both a chic accessory for your bathroom shelf and a great way to take your anal play to the next level by taking it to the shower or tub (why yes, you can bring some sex toys the bath). Once you're comfortable, turn up the vibrations with three gradual intensities.

Stupid Cute Spanking Paddle
Anal toys don't all have to be insertable. Sometimes you need a little prep to get you more comfortable back there, and this double-headed whip and paddle is a great way to start getting cheeky.

Adam & Eve Pink Gem Studded Anal Plug Set
Unassuming in size but not style, a gem-handled metal plug is a boudoir classic. This set comes with three sizes, perfect for someone who wants to grow wit them. The material is also slightly weighted, which makes for a deeper sensation. Plus, it looks totally adorable, too, if that's important to you.

Shots America Glass Doubler
This baby turns an impressive look, but it's actually designed with newbies in mind; the glass is "borosilicate" which means it's perfect for temperature play, easy to clean, and hard to shatter. The double-headed wand is perfect for endless variations of anal and vaginal play.

Inflatable Position Pillow
Easing into anal play is a reminder of how pleasurable it can be to pump the breaks and take your time in the bedroom. We're big fans of sex furniture as it quite literally supports that ethos; a solid "wedge" provides a comfy sitch to throw your bum to the sky for extended periods.

Lelo Personal Moisturizer Lubricant
Lube, lube, lube! A little anal penetration prep goes a long way (note: you may also consider having some wipes on hand) and gets a little help from a water-based lube. This solution from Lelo is our favorite for newbies because it's hypoallergenic, moisturizing, and infused with ginseng — and it's damn chic.
