Anal Prep 101

You’re about to rock this anal play scene! It takes a certain level of openness and willingness to explore new sexual adventures to experience anal stimulation. Before you start all the things, it’s important to prepare yourself.

If you’re the one being titillated…

Begin by taking some time in the restroom. You may need to pass a bowel movement (that’s completely normal!). Thoroughly cleanse your entire area – this is essential for safe anal play. Use unscented baby wipes, have a warm shower, or clean up with a slightly soapy washcloth.

Chat with your partner about down there hair expectations. If you’ve never talked about it before, you may be in for a surprise! While some partners love everything with hair, others might find it tricky to work around during playtime. If you have a partner who’s down for the hairy, you can always trim it up a bit to make things a little neater, and make sure to use extra cleanser. Hair tends to hold extra bacteria.

If you’re the one doing the titillating…

Trim your nails and thoroughly wash your hands. Never double dip! This means, that if you’re playing around with the booty, don’t use the same hand to touch and penetrate a vulva area. Wash your hand in between pleasuring those erogenous zones.

Despite certain stigmas surrounding anal play, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with exploring each other’s bodies in new and exciting ways!
