One caveat - anal beads. Make sure the loop is fairly sturdy otherwise it may get sucked up the ass during sexual activity, as I discovered many years ago. Same with butt plugs - the base needs to be fairly wide otherwise it may end up disappearing somewhere from which it is hard to retrieve.
Yup, just spent months researching this for an anal toys guide- those loops aren't worth a damn, securely tie a LONG ribbon to them if you must. I do know someone who ended up in ER using a plug with a small round jewel base- the advice I got was go for the T bar base, base should be wider than plug itself, and the stem should not taper downward to the base. And if something does get lost- go to the ER immediately instead of trying to get it out yourself.
Oh man....I just interviewed 4 different clinicians (a GI doc, an anal surgeon, a former ER doc and an Ostomy nurse) about what leads to anal-related ER visits as a research for the Wirecutter buttplug guide and...there will be a post. Whenever people act like the NYT is being frivoulous by hiring me to write a guide to safer anal toys, I point them to this. Without education, people end up with horrible life altering injuries.
