Jess O”Reilly is a sexologist and expert at We-Vibe (a leading adult toy manufacturer). She reminds us that there is a natural barrier between the end of the vaginal canal and the rest of the body—the cervix. This explanation is for those who think a toy stuck in the vagina can get “lost” within the body.
Toys stuck in the anus? It”s not that bad unless you”re experiencing significant discomfort or pain. Phew! The good news. The bad news is that you may need to see a doctor to have the toy removed.
Why? Sex coach Lisa Finn explains that, unlike the vagina, the anus doesn”t have an anatomical “stop” sign. It sounds scary, but don”t panic. Doctors see similar incidents almost every day.
Still wanting more? Try it yourself? The next step depends on where exactly the toy stopped working.
Take a deep breath, then a deep exhale, and remove the toy with two fingers,” advises Sonya Bahlani, MD, PhD.
“If your anal sphincter is relaxed enough to reach and grab the toy, do so. And don”t try to catch it at random. If you can”t do that now, then your actions will only risk delaying the moment,” warns Finn.
If you still can”t remove the toy, consult a doctor immediately. No need to feel ashamed. They didn”t see it coming! O”Reilly reassures.

It”s completely normal for a woman”s desire to increase during her period. Yes, some people don”t want to lie down or be touched.
Mission Accomplished, What”s Next?
“If a toy gets stuck, you may be using it incorrectly. There”s no blame involved. Next time you will know not to do that.
Even if you can remove the toy yourself, it”s recommended to seek emergency medical attention. The tissue lining the anal canal is very delicate and prone to microcracks. Doctors will check for any cuts and, if necessary, prescribe antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection,” says Finn.
How to Prevent This in the Future?
Of course, once it happens, you need to do everything possible to prevent a similar situation from happening again. It makes sense. Don’t let fear stop you from having sex or using adult toys. If a toy has caught you once, you’re not cursed; it happens all the time!
Follow these simple rules: don’t use toys made of silicone.
A sex toy stuck in a Scottish woman’s vagina was removed after 10 years.
- Use more lubrication.
This is especially true for silicone toys—they can be very “sticky.” Insufficient lubrication (using water-based products) can lead to too much friction, and you may feel like the toy has stopped working.
- Don’t overuse toys.
Most toys are shaped specifically and designed for a specific part of the body, says Finn. If the toy isn’t This product is intended for internal insertion; use it for external stimulation only.
- Consult a professional.
Increased tension in the pelvic floor muscles can make it difficult to remove a toy because the muscles are constantly tense. They continue to contract after orgasm, causing the toy to feel “stuck” inside.
- Choose toys with restraints.
Toys with handles and extended bases are more comfortable and safer to use. This is especially true for anal play.
In any case, the main thing is not to panic. Breathe, relax, and support each other. Sometimes sex can be strange and awkward, but that”s not a problem. That”s what makes it real.
