Tips for using an anal dildo
Lube
Lube is the key ingredient. The anus just does not stretch with stimulation so it is essential to use lube to start, and to keep reapplying it throughout your anal play. Putting a try anal dildo into the butt can be unpleasurable and not a good way to start your anal masturbation, especially if you are a first time anal dildo user.
Relax
The other key ingredient is ensuring you are relaxed and comfortable before starting to play with your anal dildo. Take a few moments out and relax yourself and make sure your butt muscles are relaxed. It will be much easier inserting the dildo into your butt when you are relaxed and ready for it.
Communications
If you are experimenting with the anal dildo with your partner, there are some key things to remember to maximize your enjoyment. Remember to communicate with your partner and tell they if they are using the toy too fast or too slow, with too much force, or not enough. The anal dildo is there for you enjoyment and if you are choosing to use it with your partner then make sure you communicate.

Try just inserting a little of the dildo in at once and get used to that sensation. Even try penetrating just very shallowly and very slowly. Work your way up to inserting more of the sex toy into the anus. Once you are comfortable with the feeling of it in just slightly gradually insert more in at a time. Experiment with dept and speed of penetrations and find out what works for you.
Remember, there is never such a thing as too much lube when using your anal dildo!
