Paradise with the Peridise
By Dr. Charlie Glickman • Nov 10th, 2008 • Category: BlogIt’s not often that a truly innovative toy comes our way, but the folks at Aneros have another winner!
The Peridise is a fairly slim anal toy with an unusual design. Its shape causes the anus to relax much more than almost any other toy by stimulating involuntary peristaltic contractions.
Peristalsis is the rhythmic contraction of the smooth muscles of the digestive system. Sometimes, the anus is held so tightly that it misses out on these contractions. We might hold too tightly in this part of the body for any of a number of reasons, but whatever the cause, it can hinder arousal, make anal play less pleasant, and just be uncomfortable.
When you insert the Peridise (use plenty of lube, please!), it gently stimulates the anal muscles to relax and reconnect to the peristaltic reflex. It also increases blood flow to the anus, which can heighten arousal and create some amazing sensations. It feels amazing on its own or when combined with genital stimulation, whether solo or with a partner. And unlike the Aneros, which is specifically designed for men, the Peridise can be enjoyed by anyone.
When you purchase the Peridise, you’ll get two models of slightly different sizes. Unlike most anal toys, the larger one is the starter one. Think of how much easier it is to hold a pen than a needle and you’ll understand why. The Peridise is made of hard plastic, so clean-up is a breeze and you can use any of our lubricants with it.
One of the most common issues when it comes to anal play is learning to relax the anus. Not only the Peridise slim enough to be easily inserted, even by a beginner, but it will help you learn to relax the anus and become more familiar with the sensations that anal play can offer. Folks with more experience with any play will be surprised at how much pleasure this toy can offer. Whether you’re new to anal play or a backdoor expert, you’ve never felt anything quite like the Peridise!
