How To Prepare For Anal Sex

Curious about exploring anal sex? Before entering the pleasure zone, take the proper precautions and ensure it’s safe, enjoyable and feels good by learning how to prepare for anal sex.

Published Feb 19 2021 • 8 min read

Anal sex has a bad rep - painful, dirty, unnatural are just a handful of terms that have become synonymous with anal sex, but these simply aren’t true. If anal taboos are getting in the way of you exploring the pleasurable world of anal play then re-educate yourself by finding out how to prepare for anal sex. Break down those misconceptions that could be limiting your pleasure.

With that being said, if you are embarking on the journey of anal sex and prostate stimulation, taking the proper precautions and time to prepare for anal sex ensures it’s safe, enjoyable and feels good.

Avoid making any of the following common anal sex mistakes that can not only make anal play uncomfortable but also potentially dangerous:

Not using enough (or any) lube
Not spending enough time on foreplay
Not using protection
Not communicating well
Not going slow
Not cleaning up before going from anal to vaginal
Not cleaning your toys

All of the tips on preparing for anal sex are written with these blunders in mind to ensure you make the most of this potent pleasure zone!

1. Educate Yourself

Like everything, preparing for anal sex begins with education - researching around the topic is where the pleasure journey starts.

Any question, no matter how trivial you might feel it is, is worth looking up, especially if it puts your mind at ease. Let’s not forget that anal sex is an umbrella term that doesn’t just refer to penetrative sex, but rather many sexual acts such as:

Penis in anus
Sex toy in the anus (this can be a strap-on or anal toys such as anal vibrators or butt plugs)
Digital penetration (using your fingers to massage the outer area of the anus before gently inserting a lubed-up finger)
Oral (also referred to as rimming)

Without proper research, you may have assumed you only wanted one type of anal play but there is plenty to explore!

2. Talk about it before, during, and after

Consent is key and surprising your partner with something you’ve read about but not talked about is not a good idea under any circumstances. Through communication, you can set boundaries, establish your comfort level and feel closer to your partner. It can be difficult to talk about sexual fantasies and desires with your partner, but if you feel too embarrassed to talk about butt-stuff then you probably aren’t ready to try and enjoy anal sex.

3. Experiment on your own

Experimenting solo is important in getting you comfortable and learning to understand your body. Just like with solo sex, you can learn what sensations you enjoy and what you aren’t so keen on. Test the waters alone during anal masturbation with the use of your fingers or sex toys. This does not have to involve penetration - surface-level touching still counts for this erogenous zone filled with nerve endings.

To start experimenting with anal play alone the first thing to do is relax - if you are all tense, the anal sphincter will tense up making this far less enjoyable. Take your time and set the mood for yourself, whatever puts you at ease - perhaps sexy music? Warming up is a big part of preparing for anal sex!

Start by rubbing lube (more on this later) on your finger and around your anus and whenever you feel ready, gently insert it into your anus. Start small and slow - one finger is an easy starting point. If you are worried about cleanliness then perhaps a pair of latex gloves would put your mind at rest. Listen to your body and your mind - experimentation is just that, so only do what you feel comfortable with.

Once you’ve mastered this, you can build your way up to using anal toys to explore sensations with. Using sex toys such as anal beads can be a great place to start as you build up to larger anal toys.

4. Clean up first

A lot of people are worried to try anal sex because of the potential mess - we’ve all heard the horror stories. Of course, you are exploring your anus, so you may come into contact with some fecal matter, yet that’s nothing to worry about as it’s normal, and quite frankly to be expected. The more comfortable you feel about a little mess, the less shocked and uncomfortable you’ll be if it happens.

However, to minimize this risk it is important to make sure you clean the butt area beforehand, after all, something is going in your bum. A quick shower will suffice or go to the bathroom 30 - 60 minutes before anal sex. Empty your bowels and wash the anal area with regular soap and warm water. Or use unscented, hypoallergenic baby wipes as an alternative as for many this clean-up is enough.

You do not need to use a douche or enema to enjoy mess-free anal sex - your rectum keeps poo up high until it’s time for a bowel movement so clearing yourself out isn’t entirely necessary as a good wash in the shower will take care of any stragglers. In fact, enemas can do more harm than good as they can damage the area and irritate the cells in the rectum, which can lead to fissures and even the spread of STIs.

However, if using an enema or douche would make you feel more comfortable with anal sex then make sure you are using one correctly and safely. Use the enema 1-2 hours before anal sex, with only a couple of cups of water to rinse out. If you use too much water you can stimulate your digestive system and make things messier than you planned! It is also important to use lukewarm water as if you use cold or hot water you’ll irritate your bowels. Remember: using an enema is not necessary for anal sex.

5. Prep the bedroom

Stocking your nightstand with plenty of lube, cleaning wipes and protection is a great way to prepare for anal sex.

You may also want to consider putting a towel down to ensure your bedsheets won’t get stained and make the clean-up of those bodily fluids easy - simply gather the towel up and throw it in the laundry. You might also want to use latex gloves during digital penetration to keep your hands clean, however isn't necessary for safe and enjoyable anal sex!

6. Lube and lots of it

Lube makes things wet and wild and generally should be your right-hand man/woman during all kinds of sex (solo, partnered, oral, penetrative, the list goes on…) - make lube part of every intimate moment! Lube is especially important during penetrative anal sex. The anus does not naturally lubricate like the vagina so without adequate lubrication the tissue can tear and the anal sex can be painful.

There is an abundance of lube types to explore including silicone, water and oil-based lubes.

Silicone lube's silky texture makes it great for preparing for anal sex but should never be used with silicone-based sex toys, as it can cause them to break down over time. Oil-based lube lasts a while but is messy and can’t be used with latex condoms, whilst water-based lubes are easy to clean up and perfect for exploring yourself with or without sex toys. However, it does tend to dry out quickly so reapply often and generously if this is your lube of choice!

7. Take it slow

When you are preparing for anal sex it is really important to take your time with all aspects - slow it down and communicate no matter what part of anal sex you’re enjoying. Whether using a penis, strap on or dildo, going slow means you can adjust to the size and sensations without being overwhelmed! By taking it slow you reduce the risk of hurting yourself or your partner, and you increase chances of enjoying yourselves!

8. Warm-up with anal foreplay

Foreplay isn’t just a vital part of vaginal penetration but any sex - it is the perfect way to get you in the mood, relax and turn you on. Digital penetration is a great start to anal foreplay or if you are more of an analingus connoisseur then enjoy gently licking, sucking, and kissing the nerve endings in the anus for some sensual sensations.

9. Use sex toys

Sex toys are a great way to enhance sensations you enjoy but when it comes to anal sex, not all sex toys are good to go. Anal sex toys and prostate massagers must have a flared base or bend around to ensure they do not get lost inside you, because yes, you can get a sex toy stuck in your butt and it’s far more common than you think. Just ask anyone who works at an emergency room. In terms of sex toy materials, silicone sex toys are best due to the non-porous and hypoallergenic nature of the material! Crescendo is a great anal vibrator to experiment with due to its slim, bendable design and ease of cleaning.

When you are using sex toys it is really important to thoroughly clean them before inserting them anywhere else or putting them away. This avoids bacteria growing on them and potentially becoming harmful to you and your partner(s).

10. Pick your anal sex positions

Your sex life may consist of the same few sex positions but that doesn’t mean they are suitable for first-time anal sex. Remember to try sex positions that you feel comfortable with and that give the individual being penetrated as much control as possible (of the toy or penis). This ensures that no one is in discomfort. A great anal sex position is spooning sex by lying on your side the depth of penetration can be controlled!

11. Stay safe

Using protection is important in all aspects of sex whether vaginal, anal or oral as protection reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections. This also means you can take the condom off and pop another one on should you wish to move from anal penetration to vaginal. This is extra important otherwise you risk moving bacteria from your anus to your vagina or urethra, which can cause urinary tract infections and other not-so-nice things. If you insert anything into your anus, clean it with soap and water and roll on a new condom before switching.

12. Aftercare

Aftercare is fundamental within any sex acts but you should allow extra time practicing aftercare when following a new sexual act. It is as simple as having a cuddle and checking in with your partner to make sure everything is ok, debrief the experience and just talk it out. If any bits were uncomfortable or even painful that you didn’t raise at the time - now is a great time to express those! Everyone should make an effort to incorporate aftercare into their sexual routine as it builds trust within your sexual experience, regardless of whether you are enjoying a one-night fling or this is a long-term partner!

These tips should have you well on your way to preparing for anal sex and enjoying anal play that is mind-blowingly good!

Kate, GR

Verified Customer

Amazing product quality, it has been 3 years since the purchase, and each product works great and has not lost its quality! Perfect customer service, and great educational support! Ideal solutions for couples including (a universal approach for all gender users) Highly recommended!

Ola, DE

Simply amazing, I was given this gadget as a gift and I can honestly say it's made a massive difference to my life and partners. We had a terrible sex life and this has simply turned it around, I'm easily aroused by her and no need to take any ED pills.

Jax, GB

This thing really did blow my mind. Life changing. Amazing tech this has given me a new lease of life. Well done team.

Chad, GB

Amazing, forward-thinking tech that puts communication first. Really impressed to see how technology can improve rather than replace intimacy.

Henry, Boston

I was reading the reviews and I didn't believe it when people were saying stuff like, 'Omg this fixed my sex life'. So I got it and it definitely did rekindle our sex life after being married for over 30 years!

Destine, USA

Miles ahead in technology and quality compared to other sexual health devices out there. Really beautiful design. Thanks.

Hope, Trustpilot

I looked at various ED devices but wondered about how much was hype and how much was fact. I kept looking, saw many other ED solutions but Tenuto 2 looked most real. The day after Christmas I thought, what the heck, let's give it a shot. The device arrived quickly and I was impressed with how solid and quiet it was . The 4 motors was a new experience, that added a whole new dimension to the experience from all the other devices I've tried before. Over 2 months in, I'm very happy with my purchase and the company. I'm looking forward to new innovations they will come up with.

Min, US

A friend recommended this brand to me. I got the crescendo and it's been my lifesaver, helping with pelvic floor issues and severe post-birth pain. The soothing vibrations helped alleviate cramps and relax my muscles. Their customisable vibrations and design provided relief and boosted my confidence. If you're a woman facing similar challenges, I highly recommend their products. Their focus on sexual wellness and health is evident in the thoughtful engineering of their devices. Love it!

Nikki, GB

I love my new Tenuto, couldn't decide between this and something bigger, but all doubt was gone after after it arrived. Quality is superb, power, superb and love the way it bends to hit the right spots. The App is a dream to use too.

Samantha, GB

It's slim, which makes it not as intrusive as other products, and the length is ideal for my customers who need to take a shot at profound vaginal mending and need something to focus on all territories. This is something I'd prescribe to them for that particularly.

Amy, US

A game changer for anyone going through menopause. So good i bought one for all my girl friends. Even though it is a bit pricey, the quality of the product more than makes up for that.

Susanna, AT

In my experience of prostate devices, size IS everything. Too small and they don't reach the prostate, too large and insertion is either painful and/or impossible. Molto's slim bendable shaft is perfect.

Iain, GB

Great product plus excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

AJM, US

Simply amazing, I was given this product as a gift and I can honestly say it's made a massive difference to my life and my wife. We had a terrible sex life and this has simply turned it around, I easily get erections now and no need to take any ED pills.

After being diagnosed with prostate cancer and enduring radiation, I was afraid my sex life would be over. However I found Tenuto and I now have renewed vigor. After my first purchase, I have made several to increase my intimacy with my wife and wish I found this company sooner. I have also referred them to my urologist and oncologist to pass along to others that they can help. This is a true medical device company, and the information they regularly share on all sorts of sexual health topics is very informative and helpful.

Bill, US

The product has motors along the whole length which can stimulate externally and internally at the same time, delivering lots of stimulation on these very sensitive parts. I love how it's thin, which makes it not as invasive as some wider products, and the length is perfect for my clients who want to work on deep vaginal healing and need something to target all areas. This is something I'd recommend to them for that especially.

Courtney, US

Read about the company in a fashion magazing and checked out their site. Really beautiful and so different. Made me feel very welcome and safe. And the products follow through on that design - really elegant and non-threatening. Easy to introduce into the bedroom and to your partner. Good job guys, keep creating cool new products!

Emily, FR

Love that there is no bs information catch or logins on the App! Great job for being a good organization!

France, US

Thank you for a creating a wonderful vibrator. It made my wife going through menopause happier than I have seen her before. It was a beautiful experience.

Frances, US

I was very skeptical, but after trying this product, I was very amazed. I've had some ED issues due to diabetes My orgasms have diminished overtime. Not only does this help me achieve a better erection but I'm having orgasms like I was when I was in my 20s.

Randy, US

These products are extremely well made and designed to help with personal health. I had purchased a tenudo a few years ago but it didn't really work for me. Recently I got a new product, the crescendo 2, and it's been really great for my wife and us together. I hope that anyone who tries the products has success and many years of use..thank you!

Adam, US

The customer service was more helpful and kind than any other online retailer. Without my wife's knowledge, I purchased the Crescendo as a birthday surprise. Alas, she was not interested. When I contacted the company, they immediately took care of the return and processed my full refund. To me, that's unheard of, as there was nothing wrong with the product. Plus, the email exchange has been most civil, absolutely polite. I hope everyone's customer service experience is as wonderful as ours.

Bildo, US

Good costumer service, prompt, nice and easy going

Daniel, US

The Tenuto is an interesting product. I'm still learning but I had a couple nice multi-ejaculation sessions, which is the main issue I had and why I bought it. Let Tenuto run a while after you finish for a nice sensation. Tenuto seems well designed and manufactured. It's durable and you can rinse it under running water. The battery seems very good. It hasn't run out on me and the recharge time after use is very fast.

MM, US

I heard about this company on social media recently. I decided to try the device named Molto. Not sure what all I can say here as it is a personal device for men to help with performance with a partner. I have to say it actually did as advertised at least in my experience. The multiple frequencies it operates on do stimulate the prostate gland. I highly recommend it to anyone that needs some extra help.

BK, US

It pleases me to be able to write this review. I had a personal issue with a item which seemed really well made and a quality product. This prevented me from using the product. I contacted customer service and a very nice person read my email, and considered my personal issues issued a full refund. That is not something you see today, a great customer service department and nice people involved in it. Once my personal issue is resolved, I will be back and purchase more items knowing that I am getting a very high quality product. Good customer service goes a long way and this was a job well done. thank you

Joe, US

Crescendo blows all my other products out of the water. Was a little reluctant at first due to the hype around 6 motors and being able to control individually, but once you get the hang of it, nothing else can touch it. I was so pleased I ordered a Tenuto too, will review that shortly. Customer service excellent too, respond to queries quickly and efficiently.

Dan, GB

Whether you're boosting your erections with it or utilizing it to help your partner's arousal, the Tenuto 2 is the absolute best product for couples - men and women.

William, US

This company is beyond amazing. I currently have Poco, it's perfect for arousal and dryness. It's quiet but strong, easy to use and adjust. It truly does what it says. Overall I think that the company is very professional and forward thinking, easy to contact and quick to respond. I recommend Poco to everyone of my friends and will continue to do so.

Amy, GB

Wonderfully structured, its the Rolls Royce of vibrators. Bundling to pass on for and vibrations to send you paradise and back. A good time for both Mr and Mrs (and the sky is the limit from there!). Adore it!

Joshua, US

Customer Support helped us with a faulty product. They shipped out the same day and we received it within 2 days. Very receptive and helpful on resolving the issue. They even multiple customer service people followup to make sure everything was perfect. Thanks again.

John, US

I purchased the Tenuto to help with a loss of sensation issue that is related to aging and being circumcised (delayed ejaculation). My urologist advised me to get this vibrator for the perineum to enhance sensation. The Tenuto has successfully enabled me to consistently climax once again. There is definitely a learning curve, but with patience and practice it is all good now. The vibrations are variable since they can be adjusted for different modes and strengths. I am very pleased with the strength of the vibrations compared to other male vibrators on the market. The battery charge lasts a very long time and the device charges rapidly.

Ed, US

Poco is the best pocket vibrator in the market by far! It's very discreet, compact and powerful, perfect for the bedside drawer.

Claudia, US

It is working and I should state, it is working truly well. I had a hysterectomy around 5 years back and my primary care physician proposed it for blood flow. It is flawless!

Humphries, GB

Being an App creator myself, I can tell they truly put a ton of thought and exertion in the structure, it's so liquid and wonderful!

Manuel, US

I have been suffering from ED for over a year now, and have tried a number of different medications, and natural remedies and nothing helped. Then I found the tenuto, and my god did it make a difference, for me and my partner. I swear by the tenuto. It really helped with my confidence and with my marriage.

Mike, US

Six motors that can be programmed to your needs, what else can I say besides just Awesome

David, US

Bought the Tenuto and Crescendo to spice things up. Needless to say this helped my partner and I do just that. The lube is also a great add-on.

Astor, US

I've been gifted with 2 products of MysteryVibe and I am very pleased with all specs and quality. Do not hesitate. Buy with confidence!

Brillion, GB

Intimacy times just got a lot better! Great product that has hugely improved the wife & I's most intimate of moments. We had a hiccup with the software update, but customer service was very quick to respond to it, and their steps fixed the issue immediately. I'd purchase more products from them again.

Keating, US

For women who have experienced discomfort during intercourse, Crescendo could improve your experience in the bedroom.

Dwyer, US

What a superb organization. Not only are their items extraordinary, their client care goes well beyond.

Elizabeth, US

Ordered the Tenuto, it worked perfectly for me and wife loved it too.

Carl, US

Amazing tech. This has given me a new lease of life. Well done team.

This is without any exception, the most exceptional vibrator in the market by a long shot.

Casey, US

My partner said it was the strongest ejaculation he has ever had. It doesn't get any better than this. What a fantastic product for couples to rekindle their bedroom.

Camille, GB

I purchased the Poco for my wife because she has been struggling with dryness. Poco is just as advertised, the product is very high quality and I would recommend it.

JPM, US

I love that when I place Tenuto around my penis, I feel a sudden rush of blood flow and stimulation in the entire genital region.

Buchanan, GB

I ordered Molto as an early birthday gift for myself and I'm truly amazed by how it spiced up my sex life! Since I started a few sessions with Molto, I've noticed my prostate reacted very positively towards the vibrations and stimulations given by Molto, and surprisingly, I started to have intensive prostate orgasms during sex and it totally blew up my mind! I cannot thank enough for this life-changing experience as well as the lovely and detailed tips given by their customer service!

Viktor, NL

I received my Crescendo around the same time I was put on antidepressant medication which gave me sexual side effects and my libido dropped pretty dramatically. My orgasms were on the brink of extinction. Then, I charged up my Crescendo and felt whole again. The creativity of the app helps me personalise the vibrations and ensures every session is completely different! 6 months later and I am still figuring out new ways to orgasm. Thank you - you've saved my sex drive from extinction!

bigirl123, GB

I've been in touch to understand the science behind their product design. The founder shared the studies that the scientific community did, without the company paying for them. I was happy to see that the product was indeed designed to support people with different medical needs when it comes to their bodies and specific situation. This convinced me to add the company to my go-to list for sexual health products.

Helen, GB

They makes such great products! Gf bought Crescendo as her therapist recommended it, and told me about Tenuto so I got one for myself! We both love love love how much these products have improved our sex life! Thank you!

Harold, US

Amazing company and products! Love everything they do - plus, best customer service I‚Äôve come across in years. Highly recommend.

Kate, GB

They ship fast, discreetly, and their customer service is excellent.

Henry, PT

Customer service is exceptional! Wasn't thrilled with product as it didn't work out for us; however, with the option to choose another product seemed like a fair compensation. Have not received the new item yet but looking forward to getting it.

Maria, US

I bought a device but was not able to use it due to personal reasons. I contacted their customer support and I did not expect such a fast and great service. It was a big WOW how fast I was serviced and helped, i would even give 10 stars if there would be.

Hom, US

Great product! Defo recommend it

Alex, GB

Exceptional customer service. They went above and beyond in taking care of my delivery and questions.

Benoit, FR

Bought a crechendo, but had some problem to connect it to the app on my phone. I sent them a message and got an explanation the next day.

Josue, CA

My partner and I both are fans of the products, have the Crescendo and Tenuto. I had heard Tenuto could be a little uncomfortable for those who are very well-endowed but fits perfectly fine for me @ 6 inches. Otherwise one thing I will say is their Customer Support team are great - the founders deal with issues themselves which is welcome - I had a faulty Crescendo unit which was really quickly resolved with a replacement device completely for free. If the products aren't for you they don't have to cost you, so well worth trying their product range.

James, GB

Everything seems to work as advertised. Very well built and good power. Haven't had time yet to figure out what works best for us but will be doing so ASAP. Will definitely shop from them again!

Muddy, US

Super happy with the service and the products. We buy a lot of stuff online, and it is seldom we receive such great support as their customer support team gave us. I know it may sound like I work for them, but we are first time customers. Thanks again.

Mortti, US

Great products and great company, very responsive to queries and suggestions

Chris, GB

This thing really did blow my mind

Davina, GB

I found it very satisfying to use, the bendability is great as it maintains its vibration ability.

Mark, US

I have tried a lot of sexual health devices and Apps and this is by far the most beautifully designed

Harry, GB

Their customer support did a great job letting me know when the product would ship. In addition, she was quite patient in providing all sorts of information on product use. Customer service is a priority for this company!

Scott, US

I've never dealt with a better company. The service was perfect in every way. Extremely prompt and very cordial. I would never hesitate to do business with this company in the future.

Rob, US

I was really impressed with the personal and professional nature of their customer service. My issue was resolved quickly. I will definitely buy from them again in the future.

Janice, US

Some of the BEST Customer Service EVER. I noticed a couple of errors on their website and sent them an email describing them. Almost immediately they returned an email responding to my concerns thanking me for pointing them out and even gave me a code for a big discount on my next purchase for my help. I like doing business with a company that does business this way.

Raymond, US

The product itself aside, the company blew me away. I accidentally ordered two and they made returning one as easy as possible and were extremely polite throughout. Really sets the bar for customer service.

Zackery, US

I think the best features of this product are the flexibility, the app, and the battery life. The flexibility of the product is very unique and what drew me to it in the first place. The app is great to maximizing your experience. I was using it for months without the app and it is even better since getting the app and customizing the settings and also demystifying the buttons, which are very discreetly placed.

Michelle, US

Amazing products and really good customer service, have been buying from them since they launched Crescendo and they've never failed to deliver.

Gabbi, GB

Just received my new product, blown away with it. Use it all the time, beats all the other products in the market. Just wow!! Thank you

Sarah, GB

I ordered a Tenato 2. It turned out at 70 years old...we couldn't get a grip on how it worked at our age. They gave me a full refund!!!!

Morris, US

Outstanding customer support. I had placed an order for an item and wanted to add the remote and lube. Thought that meant I needed to exchange the item, but the item is remote ready. I ordered the remote and lube. Their customer support provided me with the discounted bundle price and the refund to my credit card happened quickly.

Kim, US

Love my Crescendo and also great support team. Whenever I have any questions they are very helpful!

Audrey, US

Tenuto is an Interesting, well built, powerful, and satisfying product. It's true, there is a learning curve. But it hasn't discouraged me from using it at all. It took me a few times of using it to understand how to achieve the best experience. There is a combination between letting the Tenuto do its part combined with a hand motion that does the trick when flying solo. I'm looking forward to experiencing it with my wife now that I am comfortable with it.

MrCG, US

Very helpful customer support.

Uri, GB

This is a great company to work with, I have one product that didn't arrive (the other product arrived) and I wrote to them; they responded swiftly and shipped me a new one. I truly appreciate their prompt response to satisfy their customers. Thumbs up!

Ray, US

Love everything about this startup! Great customer service, the delivery was quick and very discreet and Crescendo is gorgeous and luxurious in every way from the package it comes in to the material and feel of it. Would definitely recommend.

Steph, GB

I'm very pleased with my purchase. Can't wait to try the upcoming products.

Smith, PT

Love that there is no BS data capture or logins! Good job Mysteryvibe for being a decent company.

Peter, GB

My wife bought me the Crescendo vibe and it's one of the best vibrators I have ever used. Love using it with my wife so much, I per-ordered the Tenuto as a Christmas gift for him.

Partin, US

Best tool I've used yet!

Mel, US

I use a number of criteria to judge a product. In this case the unit initially did everything and more than advertised. I developed a problem with the unit but this company was more than excellent in handling my problem. After a few brief emails they establish that replace what was needed and it was sent out at no cost quickly. I could not have asked for any better service. I will recommend the company and this product highly

Paul, US

This is an exemplary product. Well made and really thought out. The team are amazing all questions answered.

Parker, GB

Amazing customer service!! Love the ability to personalize the shape and vibrations.

Stacey, US

The Product is most definitely one for the books, it is the best and I mean the best vibrator for men.

Frazier, BD

My PT recommended Crescendo and it's a heaven-sent for me!

Wendy, GB

Excellent products with amazing customer service representatives who are friendly, helpful and understanding.

MB, US

I love that when I place Tenuto around my penis and balls, I feel a sudden rush of blood flow and stimulation in the entire genital region.

Truus, NL

Hank, US

Exemplary customer service! They went above and beyond to resolve the issue quickly and make things right. I wish more companies would follow his example. I am delighted with the outcome and will recommend this company in the future.

Tom, US

I was impressed by their customer service. The products they offer are of high quality, and their commitment to customer satisfaction is commendable. I wouldn't hesitate to buy their products again in the future. Overall, a reputable company with excellent service.

Stan, GB

My wife loves all the different vibration settings

Will, US

Took a little bit of time to master, with all of the vibration setting and sequences but it's such a great product.

The customer service is excellent and very prompt. They stand by their guarantees 100%. I will order from them again when looking for any other products.

Anon, US

Miles ahead in technology and quality compared to other vibrators out there. Really beautiful design. Thanks.

Hope, US

This MysteryVibe devices are really well designed and built to last. I had a problem with the vibrations so I downloaded this app and the latest firmware update actually fixed the problem !

Mya, US

I purchased the Tenuto Mini and was very pleased with the device yet, unfortunately there was a technical fault. I contacted Customer Service and they resolved it right away. From my experience I believe you can trust them to deliver First Class customer service. Also, it's worth pointing out that the Tenuto Mini I purchased was of high quality materials and construction.

Purchased a product that was not quite right for me personally. The team at MysteryVibe handled every aspect of the no hassle return smoothly, and efficiently. They are a model of how a company stands behind its promises regarding returns. Even though the product wasn't right for me, I still highly recommend MysteryVibe to anyone interested in their product lines because of their exemplary customer service!

Tony, US

Great product, really innovative and easy to use! I love using it by myself and also used it with my partner and it worked very well!

Rachel, GB

Kudos to the company for developing a product that can be used solo and by couples. My first experience was solo. Getting the Tenuto on does take some getting used to, but I quickly learned the best way. I used the phone app and I was amazed at the stimulation in so many different areas. I let the app cycle through the different patterns and used different intensities to get an idea of what was possible. My body responded as one might expect and time to climax was much sooner than I expected. Another indication of a great product. Looking forward to trying this with my partner.

Was a great experience, start to finish, and highly recommend for anyone else looking to spice things up a little.

Mohsen, GB

App is straight forward and offers some interesting options and functionality. I have received multiple updates from the company since I installed it. I am sure it will continue to improve over time but for now, it seems stable and reliable which is important to me.

Pauline, GB

Excellent customer service. Quality products.

Victor, US

Can't say enough about how great this company and product are. Don't walk, run to their website and super charge your sex life!

Pamela, US

Crescendo, such great product. It is very comfy to use and it fits perfectly. I recommend it 100%

Patricia, ES

Endless possibilities! Imagination and sexual wellness combined!

Sigi, MX

Excellent … says it all.

Andy, GB

Sensational, as advertised.

Gerald, US

The best vibrator I've come across to this day.

Kenneth, US

Each folding part has it's own motor inside of it, so there aren't any dead-zones. The whole thing feels very alive. There's also a perfect amount of stickiness to the moving parts. A+

Earl, US

The product is fantastic....very durable and original.

Timothy, US

Amazing, forward-thinking tech that puts pleasure and communication first. Really impressed to see how technology can improve rather than replace intimacy. Just so much fun to use.

Robbins, US

I bought a product that did not work initially, and the customer support did an amazing job of giving directions on how to use it properly. It took a bit of time to figure out all the functions but now it's become an essential part of our bedroom. I'd 100% buy and support this company again.

Charles, US

Tenuto gave me the best hardon ever! Gave the application to the missus and she drove me wild by edging and edging till I simply needed to snatch the telephone back and detonate!

Shirley, US

A product like no other. Its a piece of art that can deliver a great deal of fun while also helping with health issues. Beautifully designed, its the Rolls Royce of vibrators.

Ben, GB

I was very impressed with the response time in regards to my reporting a problem. In addition, it was escalated to the CTO which in my world is to the very top. We had a meaningful dialogue via email and am things got sorted out. It seems to have been user error and not machine or software issue. Terrific company.

Amazing, forward-thinking tech that puts people and communication first. Really impressed to see how technology can improve rather than replace intimacy.

Michael, US

Amazing :D It is very different from all the other products out there and I was really surprised how good it is. Definitely worth the money.

Sandra, GB

I've worn the Tenuto and experienced fabulous climaxes. It might turn out to be a daily use thing for me.

I received the shipment very quickly and the packaging/boxing was excellent. I had an issue and wrote to them. This company's customer service is fantastic. Quick response, immediate resolution of my issue, and courteous as well. I haven't experienced this kind of customer-oriented service very often for a long time. Kudos to the company and their awesome customer service team!

Vera, US

Extraordinary application! Truly like the straightforwardness, excellence in effortlessness for sure

As an engineer, I am extremely impressed with the True craftsmanship in all their products.

Allen, US

It's very cool and the app makes it smooth for my partner to use it on me whenever wherever he want.

Humberto, VE

Fantastic company for sexual health, great products. I have found that this company seems to carefully listen to their customers and thoughtfully responds to their emails. Keep up the good work

Hannah, GB

Love Crescendo - so bendy and versatile and application makes it significantly increasingly adjustable!

Susan, US

Good quality item and swift delivery. Wife seems pleased to say the least.

Kieran, GB

I received the Crescendo as a gift, and let me tell you ... I bless that person every day! The product taught me about self-care way more than I ever expected! It is versatile and allows you to explore different angles to suit your body exactly!

Masha, PT

Crescendo works well as a prostate massager. The lock feature enables you to set it and forget it. It's flexible and vibrates from one end to the other. I like the length and thickness. I recommend it to friends.

Dennis, US

I cherished the product at any rate and the application makes it significantly cooler!

Martha, US

High-quality product that delivers on its promises!

I received Tenuto 2 as gift and was skeptical to use at first. Once I got over the fear and used it, I really noticed a difference and now use it everytime I have sex. 11/10

Conor, GB

I love the devices, thank you so much

Karma, BE

The company has been fantastic in communicating with me and helping solve any issues I had. They are very responsive

Seatt, US

Excellent products, i got myself a Crescendo and I am absolutely astonished for how fabulous it is. And then the staff at Mystery Vibe is absolutely kind and efficient!

Miss, IT

Kudos to the company for developing a product for ED that can be used solo and with your partner. My first experience was solo. Getting the Tenuto on does take some getting used to, but I quickly learned the best way. I was amazed at the stimulation in so many different areas. My body responded as one might expect and time it took me to climax was much sooner than I expected. Another indication of a great product. Looking forward to trying this with my partner.

I contacted customer service with a health question I had related to my new purchase. They responded very quickly and addressed answered all my questions. In this day and age this type of customer service is rarely seen I am extremely satisfied and I fully recommend this company to anyone thinking about making a purchase

Steve, US

I purchased the Tenuto (the first one) about 2 years ago. It worked fine so recently when the Tenuto 2 came out I got that one. This version of Tenuto has the same dimensions but more powerful vibrations, so I was very pleased. There is no other device like it on the market and I am glad to have the new one. Many thanks!

Ken, CA

Great customer service! I would recommend this company just on the customer service experience. Their products seem very well made, but the one my husband purchased was too small. The issue was resolved with the company in a very timely manner.

KT, US

Great App, this is substantially better than all the other ones I have tried before! Especially love the ability to live control each vibration motor.

Ruth, US

Finally got my Tenuto, felt like a kid on xmas day. Lovely packaging and instruction sheet about device. I have tried it for 'fit' and after a bit of reorganising my bits it looks and feels comfortable. Wow is my first word for my first time trying it...Very good feelings....! :-)

Richard, GB

I can honestly say that in a fairly short period of time using the Tenuto it is a legitimate product that has exceeded my expectations. Great Job! The sensation each individual motor provides is one of the unique features that I feel separates it from other male devices. Until now I have been disappointed with the other products for men and questioned if a similar stimulation was achievable in men like it is with women.

Cooley, US

Unreal product and service. Best.

Love the application. Bring back recollections of my game controllers!

Melissa, US

I love the products. Always a pleasure to use them, the quality, the look and feel, design - everything is top level!

Varya, AR

The crescendo 2 is such a great device for my wife...these products are extremely well made and designed to help with intimacy and I hope that anyone who tries the products has success and many years of use..thank you

What a wonderful company. Not only are their products great, their customer service goes above and beyond. My husband bought me the Crescendo almost 2 years ago. It's one of the best vibrators I have ever used. Love using it with my husband so much, I ordered the Tenuto as a Christmas gift for him. I recently lost the charging pad for my Crescendo. I couldn't find a replacement on the website. So I emailed the company to buy a replacement. They responded the same day and are sending me a new charger free of charge. Best ever!

Tracy , US

I bought crescendo 2 - highly recommend, high quality product, great customer service and delivery on time! I have also bought poco, can't wait to try!

Billie, GB

Thank you for such an amazing product. I'm super happy with the Tenuto and it is really comfortable to use. I was intrigued about creating a unique vibration pattern for myself and love discovering new patterns using the app!

Noah, US

Everything about the company is upfront and professional. Customer service is exceptional. It's clear they care about the experiences people have with their products, between the quality of the products themselves to the very helpful information on the website and included with the products to customer support, this company shines.

Dominique, US

Amazing product, looks like it was custom designed to fit my body. Very comfortable, perfect features, adjustable to my specific needs. Very convenient, you can take it anywhere! Is very discreet, ppl honestly will ask if is a remote control. So you can keep your privacy. Battery lasts very long so I couldn't ne more happier. Helps me a lot to improve my confidence. Highly recommended

Tayanra, GB

I reached out after my delivery was 2 days past and was saddened to learn my order was lost in route, but Customer Support made quick work of righting the situation! Literally took less than 5 minutes to send the email and they were exceedingly prompt in getting back to me. Replacement order sent free of charge. Great service.

Cosemu, US

Received a fast response on my first post and changed it to excellent, seems there was a mix up.

kulig, US

As with most organizations, what makes a "difference" is the customer service. These people excel at customer service!. They go the"extra mile"! They take the extra step! They follow up in a timely fashion! And they "Make it Right"! I have not seen this type of response in other companies.

Roemer, US

Apparently, there was a glitch in the shipping software which caused the holdup of the order processing unbeknownst to the company. The company was very apologetic and resolved immediately by their CEO! Five stars for their prompt resolution.

Thomas, US

Really positive experience from my product. Also the only email newsletter I actually read. Such an important message to explore.

David, GB

The product is more than expected. Recommended for all!

DH, US

I always have a hard time getting my knee to relax when it's flared up and wrapping the Crescendo around my knee with a gentle vibration has really helped. And having the app makes using it so much easier so I can just lie back and adjust the power remotely. This is a total life saver, especially in the winter.

Ximen, US

Surprised at the how powerful the vibrations are for something so compact and slick! Love it!

Tim, GB

Crescendo is a great product and a great company. My wife and I love Crescendo and have derived many hours of pleasure from it. It is one of my wife's favorites! Recently our Crescendo stopped working. The customer service team were so kind and helpful with getting our Crescendo replaced. In spite of the fact that it had been over 2 years since our purchase they stood behind their product and quickly and easily got us a replacement. Aside from just being great with the replacement there was a real warmth and appreciation of us as customers during the process.

Jeremy, US

Excellent product, we love it so much. Thanks

Anna, GB

Simply the best tool to rebuild love. High-quality product that delivers on its promises!

Noelia, US

This is a reputable company producing high quality products. If you have an interest, don't hesitate trying their products.

Wow. This was a one of a kind experience. I highly recommend using these products.

Sherif, US

After learning an earlier model first generation unit no longer had a charger I needed to replace my model. They simply gave me a free new device of my choosing with sincere apologies they couldn't assist my initial request since they no longer make that product. There was nothing technically wrong with my first unit, just I had lost the charger. The new package arrived and again the style, design, functionality, feel, and power is incredible. Many thanks! You are the best at this game!

CS, US

Excellent customer service! They were extremely responsive and took care of my issue the same day!
