Features

Anal vibrator shapes can vary depending on the brand and buyer's preference. Among the most common ones you can buy if they are phallic shaped (similar to a dildo), elongated or curved shape. length rarely exceeds 15 centimeters with a diameter of no more than 11 centimeters. They usually have an internal motor with a matching battery, a bluetooth interface to control the device with a smartphone or special remote control, and a charging plug. They can usually generate different types of vibration, and in products marketed primarily for prostate stimulation, the internal motors may be individually controlled or the shape may be articulated. Materials vary by brand, but among the most commonly used is silicon to facilitate disinfection (using sodium hypochlorite, alcohol).

Dangers

If they are not used properly, especially if they are very small or not optimized for proper use, they can present a problem of medical and surgical interest because, once lost in the rectum, self-extraction is unlikely to be possible.

Other uses

Some clinical and academic studies have shown that the use of vibration-induced prostate stimulation can help in the sexual rehabilitation of patients who have survived forms of prostate cancer.
