In this post, we take a look at the various tools and devices available to apply Prostate Massage, which are commonly known as prostate massagers.
Note: the hands and fingers are likewise commonly used tools to give a Prostate Massage, but they are rarely called prostate massagers. The term is rather used for extra appliances, such as butt plugs, prostate dildos, and such. Nevertheless, for the sake of completeness we’ll also discuss the hands and fingers.

Now, a prostate massager or prostate stimulator is an adult tool/device, a so-called sex toy, used to massage or stimulate the prostate gland.
Prostate massagers are likewise called prostate dildos or prostate vibrators, although there are some differences between dildos and vibrators, which will be explained further below.
Anyway, because the prostate can be massaged internally (via the rectum) and externally (via the perineum or via the lower abdominal area), you will find prostate massagers that are either suitable for internal or for external massage, although some can simultaneously stimulate the prostate internally and externally.
The majority of modern prostate massagers for internal (anal) use can vibrate electronically. Nevertheless, it’s certainly not a “must” to use an automatically vibrating massager.
Mind that the materials used for a prostate massager should preferably be non-porous, body-safe, and easy to clean in order to reduce the chance of bacterial infections.
To prevent internal damage of the anal canal and rectum, it’s advised to precisely follow the instructions that come with the massager. Additionally, applying lots of lubricant for an Internal Prostate Massage is advised.
Fingers and Hands
Inserting a finger in the anus and further on in the rectum to reach the prostate is perhaps the best known technique to perform an Internal Prostate Massage. Typically, either the index finger or the middle finger is used.
An Internal Prostate Massage using the fingers can be done by you, by a partner, or by a professional therapist.
The fingers and the palm of hands may also be used to give an External Prostate Massage, typically applied on the perineum or on the lower abdominal area.
In Asian massage traditions, practitioners may also use the elbows and/or heel of the feet to give an external Prostate Massage.
Butt Plugs
Butt plugs — also called anal plugs — are cone-shaped sex toys used to be inserted into the anal canal and rectum for sexual pleasure. They look like dildos, but are usually shorter and have flared ends to prevent the plug the get lost inside the rectum.

There are a great variety of butt plugs to be found, differing, for instance, in shape, length, material, diameter, texture, and function. Some types are specifically designed to massage the prostate.
They can be used for sexual activity only, but also be worn continuously, for long periods of time. Apart from manual butt plugs one can also obtain electronic butt plugs that vibrate.
Some men prefer butt plugs over dildos because plugs can get inserted and left to their own while the hands stay free to do other things, such as masturbate.
As counts for all anal penetration activities, plenty of lubricant and slow, gentle penetration is advised to avoid damage of the rectal area.
Anal Beads
Anal beads consist of multiple balls or sphere-formed materials that are attached together one after the other to a kind of chain or string. Actually, anal beads devices look a lot like Ben Wa Balls, but then simply having “more balls.”
The beads are used for anal play and sexual pleasure by repeatedly inserting them via the anus into the rectum, and then removing them with varying speeds. The many nerve endings of the anal sphincter supply pleasurable feelings, sexual arousal, or even orgasms including prostate orgasms during insertion and removal of the beads.
Prostate Dildos
Dildos are names for sex toys used for sexual penetration, either orally, anally, or vaginally, and they typically have a phallic (penile) shape. They may also be used only to tease or for sexual arousal, while not being applied for penetration purposes.

A prostate dildo is a type of prostate massager that looks very much like the well-known vaginal dildos, but generally a bit more curved, slimmer, and softer.
The difference between prostate dildos and “real” prostate massagers is somewhat arbitrary, but in general you could say that prostate dildos are simpler, and many are straighter than prostate massagers. They are usually rather designed for “full” anal sensation and pleasure and less aimed at precision of massaging the prostate gland.
Today, a range of modern prostate dildos are electronic and have a vibrating “head,” of which the speed and intensity can be varied.
Like butt plugs, prostate dildos can come in a great variety of sizes, diameters, materials, textures, and designs. They may also have a flared-up end to prevent them from “being lost” inside the rectum.
Prostate Vibrators
Vibrators (or massagers) are electric-powered sex toy devices that pulsate, throb, or thrust, typically used as a tool to give pleasurable sexual stimulation to the clitoris, vulva, vagina, penis, scrotum, anus, rectum, female G-Spot, and P-Spot (Prostate Spot).

They are used for self-masturbation purposes, or between partners to stimulate each other’s genitals, although they can also be used for other body parts.
The number of different shapes, colors, materials, models, and the types of functions and programs of vibrators is huge. Some vibrators operate on batteries while others can be connected to the electrical power grid, and again others have remote control functions, are specifically designed for the clitoris or anus, or can be used hands-free, and so on.
Prostate vibrators — usually called “prostate massagers” — often have double-action capacity, massaging the prostate internally via the rectum, and externally through the perineum using a dildo J-shaped like ending.
Prostate Cradle
The prostate cradle is a device intended to used for external prostate massages. It stimulates acupressure points on the male perineum just by sitting on it, and it’s claimed to yield all the benefits of classical Internal Prostate Massage.
One can use the prostate cradle while sitting on a chair doing regular tasks, such as working at a computer, or by sitting on it in bed. It works with light clothing on.
Prostate Warmer
The device shown above is an antique prostate warmer, not in use any longer, but still interesting to know about.

Invented in 1918, this device (now to be found in museums) promised to “stimulate the abdominal brain.”
The prostate warmer consisted of a 4.25 inch probe which was plugged into the wall and then inserted into the rectum. After being plugged in, a blue light bulb would lit up to tell you it was working to restore your male vitality.
Quaintness apart, other types of prostate warmers are still in use though, but then as an external, heated pack in a belt, wrapped around the lower abdomen.
The idea behind warming the prostate is to stimulate blood and lymph circulation in and around the prostate thought to be beneficial for its proper functioning, while also alleviating symptoms of benign prostate enlargement (BPH) and prostatitis.
Anal Intercourse
Anal intercourse is also called anal sex, and what is usually meant by it is the insertion and thrusting of the erect penis into the anus and rectum of another person with an aim of sexual pleasure.
Nevertheless, the fingers and sex toys can also be used for anal penetration, which is then likewise called anal intercourse.
Men may feel pleasure from anal sex because of the stimulation of the anal nerve endings, and orgasms may be achieved because of the stimulation of the prostate gland.
