Colon snakes, also known as depth trainers or anal depth probes, are unique and specialized sex toys designed for deep anal exploration. They provide an intense and pleasurable experience for those who are interested in pushing the boundaries of their anal play. In this guide, we will discuss the purpose of colon snakes, the different types available, and how to use them safely.
The Purpose of this Toy
Colon snakes are designed to explore the depths of the rectum and colon, providing unique and intense sensations for the user. They are often used by experienced anal enthusiasts who seek a more extreme form of anal play.
Different Types of Sizes and Features
There are two main types of colon snakes:
Flexible Colon Snakes
Flexible colon snakes are made from soft and pliable materials, such as silicone or TPE, allowing them to bend and conform to the body's internal curves. They are ideal for those who are new to deep anal play or prefer a more gentle experience.
Rigid Colon Snakes
Rigid colon snakes are made from firmer materials like stainless steel or hard plastic. They provide a more intense sensation due to their unyielding nature and are suitable for experienced users.
Materials Used in Colon Snakes
Colon snakes can be made from various materials, including silicone, TPE, stainless steel, and hard plastic. Each material offers different sensations and levels of flexibility. Ensure that the material you choose is body-safe and compatible with the type of lubricant you plan to use.
How to Choose the Right Size
When choosing a colon snake, consider the following factors:
Length
Colon snakes come in various lengths to cater to different experience levels and preferences. Start with a shorter length and gradually work your way up as you become more comfortable with deep anal play.
Diameter
Like length, the diameter of a colon snake can vary. Choose a diameter that is appropriate for your experience level and comfort.
Material
Select a material that offers the desired level of flexibility and sensation. Silicone and TPE are more flexible options, while stainless steel and hard plastic provide a firmer, more intense experience.
Features
Some colon snakes include additional features such as textured surfaces, vibration, or suction cup bases. Consider what extra features might enhance your experience.
How to Use a Colon Snake Safely
To use a colon snake safely, follow these steps:
- Ensure that the colon snake is clean and free of any defects or damage.
- Apply a generous amount of lubricant, preferably water-based, to the colon snake and your anus. Reapply as needed throughout the experience.
- Start by inserting the colon snake slowly and gently, allowing your body to adjust to the sensation.
- Gradually increase the depth of insertion, listening to your body's signals and stopping if you experience pain or discomfort.
- Always communicate with your partner (if applicable) about your comfort levels and boundaries.
Preparing for Colon Snake Play
Before engaging in colon snake play, take the following steps to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience:
- Clean and sanitize the colon snake according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Ensure that you have a safe and comfortable space for your play session.
- Choose a position that allows for easy insertion and control of the colon snake.
- Have plenty of lubricant on hand, as well as any other necessary supplies (such as towels or gloves).
Types of Lube to use:
This all comes down to the type of toy you are selecting. While most brands carry all sorts of lube to get you started, its important to understand that not all lubes are compatible with all toys.
The general rule of thumb is to avoid using silicone lubes for silicone based toys. Silicone lube tends to stick to the toy and ruins the texture and results in a gummy unusable experience. We would recommend using a water based lubricant if your opting for a silicone toy. Check out our complete selection of water based lubes here.

Proper cleaning and maintenance of your colon snake are essential for maintaining hygiene and prolonging its lifespan. After each use, clean the colon snake with a toy cleaner or mild soap and water. Dry it thoroughly before storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
