Step 1: Understand What the Prostate Is

The prostate is a small gland about the size of a walnut, located a few inches inside the rectum toward the front of the body. It plays a key role in semen production — and when stimulated gently, it can trigger deep, full-body orgasms unlike any other kind.

However, the area is highly sensitive, so slow, gentle exploration is essential.

This article from Medical News Today offers a great insight in to the benefits of Prostate Massage therapy.

Step 2: Preparation and Relaxation Are Everything

Prostate play is not about speed — it’s about comfort and patience.

  • Choose a calm environment where you won’t be interrupted.

  • Take a warm shower or bath beforehand — it relaxes muscles and reduces tension.

  • Empty your bowels for a more comfortable experience.

  • Lay down a towel or play blanket for hygiene and comfort.

Top Tip: Music, low lighting, or even breathing exercises can help your pelvic muscles relax naturally.

How to Use a Prostate Massager Safely Step 3: Use the Right Lube (and Plenty of It)

Always use a high-quality water-based lubricant, as it’s safe for silicone toys and sensitive anal tissue.
Never skip lube — the rectum doesn’t produce its own natural lubrication, so friction can cause discomfort.

Step 4: Choose the Right Device for Your Level

If you’re a beginner, start small with an adjustable or flexible model that’s easy to control and position.
If you’re more experienced, you can experiment with rotation, vibration, or even electro-stimulation.

Experience Level Recommended Toy Internal Link
Beginner We-Vibe Vector+ Adjustable Prostate Massager Gentle, ergonomic, app-controlled
Intermediate Nexus Revo Stealth Dual stimulation and rotation
Advanced b-Vibe Rimming P-Spot Plug 360° rimming and deep vibrations

How to Use a Prostate Massager Safely Step 5: Insertion Technique and First Use

  1. Apply a generous amount of water-based lube to both the toy and yourself.

  2. Begin by massaging the external area around the anus with your fingers or the toy base.

  3. Once relaxed, gently insert the toy at a 30–45° forward angle — aiming toward your navel.

  4. Stop immediately if you feel sharp pain. Pressure or fullness is normal; pain is not.

  5. Allow the toy’s vibrations or rotation to do the work — avoid thrusting movements.

Take a look at the b-Vibe 360 Plug here for rotational stimulation sensations.

Step 6: Finding the Right Rhythm

Everyone’s prostate is different. Experiment with:

  • Different vibration speeds

  • Pulse or rotation patterns

  • Alternating perineum and prostate stimulation

If your device includes a remote or app (like the Vector+ or Revo Stealth), you can easily switch modes mid-session without breaking concentration.

Step 7: Aftercare and Hygiene

After play, always:

  • Turn off and remove your device carefully.

  • Wash with warm water and antibacterial toy cleaner.

  • Allow to air dry completely before storage.

  • Recharge if necessary, and store in a clean, dry pouch.

Top Tip: For electro-stim toys like the Mystim Electric Eric, always ensure contacts are dry before charging.

Step 8: Building Confidence Over Time

Like any form of pleasure, prostate stimulation gets better with practice.
With each session, you’ll learn more about your body, your preferences, and your thresholds.
There’s no rush — treat the experience as exploration, not performance.
