I am very excited to announce that Wirecutter’s Anal Toy Guide’s first update since 2016 dropped today!
I was really excited to work on this one, especially because we expanded the health and safety section to include tips and guidance from some of the leading medical experts in the field of anal health. Please check out Dr. Evan Goldstein and Dr. Carlton Thomas if you have not yet, they are a proctologist and an gastroenterologist respectfully who both create excellent content about making anal play more safe. accessible, and pleasurable.
This is a topic I am deeply passionate about because of how much dangerous misinformation there is about anal play. Too many people are still experiencing pain, injuring themselves, using dangerous numbing lubes, or inserting things that DO NOT BELONG IN THEIR BUTT. I am hoping that this guide helps contribute positive discourse on how to enjoy anal play safely. Learning about the “Butt Clock” changed my life!
I will be following up on Substack with a post that goes into greater depth with the experts I interviewed (I always have a lot more material than will fit into the guide). For now, enjoy the update!
