1) The Anatomy You’ll Navigate

Depth play moves beyond the rectum into the sigmoid colon. Understanding the path reduces guesswork and minimizes risk.

• The Rectum (≈12–15 cm / 5–6 in): Relatively straight and rich in nerve endings — most conventional anal play happens here.
• Rectosigmoid Junction: The first bend where the rectum meets the sigmoid colon. Expect resistance here; patience and angle matter.
• Sigmoid Colon (≈35–40 cm / ~15 in): S-shaped with fewer touch-sensitive nerves and more stretch receptors. Sensations here are often described as deep, full pressure rather than sharp stimulation.

2) Preparation: Cleanout & Mindset

For advanced depth work, prep is non-negotiable: aim for thorough hygiene and a relaxed, focused headspace.

Cleanout Basics

A simple bulb may be fine for shallow play, but depth play benefits from controlled, continuous flow to clear the rectum and part of the sigmoid colon.

Pre-Session Checklist

• Use plenty of high-quality, body-safe lube (the colon doesn’t self-lubricate).
• Warm up with fingers or smaller toys before introducing a longer probe.
• Create a calm environment and give yourself time — no rushing.
• Agree on safe words/hand signals if you’re playing with a partner.

3) Technique: Positions, Lube & “The First Turn”

Lube Is Everything

For depth play, “too much” lube isn’t a thing. Many experienced users like high-viscosity water-based or hybrid lubes; some mix powdered lubes (e.g., J-Lube) to preferred consistency. Coat yourself and the entire toy.

Positions That Help

• Left side-lying (knees to chest): A classic “medical” position that aligns with the colon’s natural path.
• On your back, legs elevated: Feet on a wall or knees to chest can open the pelvis.
• All fours: Helps relax abdominal muscles and can ease navigation.

Navigation Tips

1. Warm-up: Start small to relax the anal canal and rectum.
2. Slow insertion: As you meet the rectosigmoid junction, expect resistance.
3. The first turn: Don’t force straight ahead. Apply gentle, probing pressure; try slight rotations; breathe and wait for the angle to “accept” the toy.
4. Beyond the bend: Once past it, continue slowly. A flexible toy will follow the S-curve — stay attentive to sensation and comfort.

4) Safety Protocols for Advanced Play

• Listen to your body: Deep pressure can feel intense; sharp pain is a hard stop.
• Understand risk: Intestinal perforation is rare but serious; forcing a toy is the main cause — avoid straight-line pushing.
• Flared base only: Use toys designed for anal play with a flared base or secure handle.
• Body-safe materials: 100% silicone is hygienic and easy to clean thoroughly pre- and post-play.

5) Choosing the Right “Colon Snake”

Look for pliable, body-safe silicone with a tapered head and a flexible shaft to navigate curves. As your skills evolve, you might want a shorter/thicker option for fullness or a longer/slender one for distance exploration.

Quick FAQs

Is depth play safe?

With proper prep, technique, and patience, many experienced users enjoy it safely. Never force, always use a flared base, and stop immediately if pain occurs.

How much lube do I need?

More than you think. Re-apply often. High-viscosity water-based or hybrid lubes are popular for longer sessions.

Do I need a shower-attached hose?

It isn’t mandatory, but many find a controllable, continuous rinse (like with a shower-hose attachment) provides a cleaner, more comfortable session than a small bulb.
