• Cleanout | Inserting longer dildos can verify the success of a cleanout or even release trapped water. Wearing a butt plug during a cleanout can reduce cleanout time by triggering reflexes that move fecal material through the large intestine for easy expulsion.
• Warmup | Stretching with smaller toys before inserting fists can prevent tears and fissures.
• Pleasure | Triggering responses in the enteric nervous system through carefully moderated insertions or heavy pegging can result in strong anal orgasms. Toys also affect the pleasure centers of the brain in both tops and bottoms. For example, toy play can heighten emotions associated with trust, subservience, domination, or exhibition.
• Development | Training and conditioning with toys is the fastest way to increase depth, width, punch, and endurance capabilities among novice, intermediate, and advanced fisters. Virgin fisters use toys to expedite popping of their fist cherries.
• Rehabilitation | Utilizing rehab toys can help fisters recover physically and mentally from a variety of issues such as HPV wart removal, hemorrhoidectomy, fissure abatement procedures, and perforation-related surgeries.
• Hemorrhoid Therapy | Massaging the hemorrhoidal plexuses with softer toys can diminish the frequency of flareups and reduce their intensity.

Ass players frequently fall into one of three camps regarding toys:

• Enthusiast | Men who love toys in their hole and use them frequently.
• Indifferent | Men who will use toys on occasion but couldn't care less about their use alone or with others.
• Hater | Men that only use them reluctantly.

The latter two groups typically find toy play dull or uninspiring and will limit or exclude toy play during fisting session. Enthusiasts are also likely to limit toy play during a session as they prefer fists; however, if their play partners are toy-play fanatics, they will happily participate to accommodate their partners.

Enthusiasts can also be sorted into two categories:

• Solo Players | Men that reserve toy play for primarily themselves (alone).
• Team Players | Men that won't play with toys unless their partner inserts the toy for them.

Because most bottoms prefer fists over toys, a session that includes a toybox full of dildos and plugs may never be opened and the toys will remain unused.

Men into ass play might adapt other things for insertion, such as produce, household items, and sports equipment.

Phallic

Phallic dildos and plugs are modeled after the human penis. Most have a coronal ridge (where the head meets the shaft), and many also have balls that function as a base. Some phallic dildos are created from molds of actual hardons, but the majority of phallic dildos are based off an artistic rendition, typically a sculpture or 3D printing.

Phallic plugs are uncommon due to the necessity of a integrating a stem into the design. Most double-ended dildos of phallic design.

Fantasy

There are several sub-categories of fantasy dildos. The most common include canine, equine, serpentine, tentacle, mythical beast, brachial, and sci-fi. Canine and equine dildos are based of the erections of stallions and sire dogs. Equine dildos typically feature a flared head and preputial ring. Canine dildos feature a bulbous knot to lock or tie the toy in place. Serpentine and tentacle dildos are flexible toys based off of snakes and octopi. Mythical beasts reimagine penis from dragons, werewolves, and sea creatures. Brachial toys approximate the human arm. Sci-fi dildos typically integrate phallic dildos with various themes, including aliens, mechanical technology, and hybrid creatures.

Fantasy plugs can be sorted based on the transition style between the stem and bulb. A gradual transition provides a smooth, seamless experience for both insertion and retraction. In contrast, an abrupt transition creates a distinct ledge that produces a noticeable "pop" during insertion and removal. Fantasy plugs are usually helpful in punch play, prolapse cultivation, and gape development.

Ergonomic

Ergonomic dildos and plugs have designs that complement the anatomy of the fist chute. They usually lack heavy textures, abrupt edges, and firm structural components. Design focuses on easy, trauma free insertions, extractions and extended wear. Ergonomic dildos are often designed by fisters for fisters and are ideal for training for first ring stretches, depth play, and keeping a fist within the rectum.

Square Peg Toys has the largest catalog of ergonomically designed toys on the market.

There are multiple characteristics by which materials can be sub-categorized, but the three most relevant to anal fisting include:

• Flexibility | Refers to the firmness of a toy from very soft to very firm. Also considers inflatability.
• Porosity | Relates to the quantity of void spaces (small holes) of the material and can range from very porous to non-porous.
• Toxicity | Describes the level of chemicals that can be detrimental to human health with a range from non-toxic to extremely toxic. Also considers carcinogenicity.

Composition is relevant when considering which toys to add to your toy arsenal. Being educated about the nuances of toy composition can prevent costly purchasing mistakes.

• Size | Larger toys trigger screening protocols. Normal size dildos are unlikely to raise alarm.
• Electrical Components | Electrical components such as wires or batteries are highlighted in scanning technology. Remove batteries before travel.
• Perversion | Some screeners are as equally perverted as fisters and want to see what you are putting inside you. If you want a fun time with a random agent, leave a calling card with your toy. Perhaps he will give you a call.

If you want to avoid embarrassment, pack your toys in a clear, plastic bag on top of your other items in your checked luggage. Agents can open the bag and locate your toy without rummaging through the contents of your suitcase.

• Follow Security Guidelines | Make sure your toiletries are in the right size bag and that you aren't packing large bottles of water or other liquids. Liquids always trigger extra scrutiny and screening.
• Pack Powdered Lube Appropriately | Put your alphabet lube into small travel size bottles. Screeners cannot distinguish powder from liquid in large bottles.
• Exclude Poppers | If your bag is pulled for screening, they may search your toiletries, discover your poppers, and confiscate them. Poppers usually don't catch their attention if there is no other reason to screen your bag.
• Pack for Screening | Remove all batteries and pack your toys in large, clear bags and place near the surface for easy access. Some fisters label the bag Sex Toys, Clean, or Dirty, to deter additional screening once your bag is pulled.
• Own Your Game | Be prepared for the screening and don't show embarrassment. The screener will likely look up to see if you are a hot girl. Once he sees you"re a guy, it's all fun and games for them. Go with the flow, make jokes, or advise your screener in advance.
• Be Blunt | When screeners pull your bag, let them know the item they are looking at is a sex toy.
• Ask for Private Screening | If you are with non-kinky travel partners, or if you are embarrassed in public situations, ask that your bag be reviewed in a private area, away from the sight of your fellow passengers.
