COLT Anal Trainer Kit review

Three plugs that actually work as a progression set — soft enough to relax into, sized to let you move up when you're ready, and reviewed by enough people that the 4.4-star average means something.

Reviewers consistently describe these as soft and flexible, which matters more than you might think — a rigid plug asks you to meet it exactly where it is, while a forgiving one lets you ease in at your own pace. The taper is manageable across all three sizes, and people report being able to move through the set without the jump between plugs feeling like a leap.

The progression works. One reviewer said they used all three sizes in a single session and felt ready for penetrative anal play; another took a few weeks and arrived at the same place. The third plug is thick enough that several people noted they haven't taken it fully yet, which is exactly what a training set should do — give you somewhere to go.

The material divides opinion slightly. Most find it comfortable and easy to work with, though a few said they're not fans of the feel of PVC generally and these didn't change their mind. The smallest plug can slip out if you use a lot of lube, which is more about physics than design — a light plug in a well-lubricated space doesn't have much to hold onto.

The one recurring concern is the base of the largest plug. Several reviewers noted it's soft enough that it could potentially be drawn in fully, which is a safety issue worth taking seriously. If you're working up to the large size, pay attention to how it sits and don't push past the point where the base is doing its job.

That caveat aside, this is a kit that does what it says — helps people move from "never tried this" to "ready for more" in a way that feels achievable rather than intimidating.

This suits anyone new to anal play who wants a clear path from small to substantial, and who values a forgiving material over a firmer one. If you've tried a single plug and found it either too easy or too much, a graduated set like this gives you the in-between steps that make progression feel natural rather than forced.

It's also a good pick if you're returning to anal play after a break — the smallest size is genuinely small, so there's no pressure to start where you left off.

Skip it if you prefer firmer toys, or if you know you want something with a more substantial base on the larger sizes. The soft base on the third plug is a real consideration, and if that makes you uneasy, look for a set with a more rigid flange — the Amore Anal Trainer Kit uses firmer silicone and might suit better.

PVC is porous, which means it cannot be sterilised. Keep this kit to one person, use a fresh condom each time if you're sharing, and replace it sooner than you would a silicone set — think months rather than years of regular use.

Wash with warm water and mild soap after each use, let it dry completely, and store it somewhere it won't pick up dust or lint. PVC can degrade with silicone lube, so stick to water-based.

If you want the same progression in a non-porous material, the Amore Anal Trainer Kit is silicone and firmer, which some people prefer — though that firmness also means less give if you're tense.

This sits near the top of the anal training kits we score, with a Coyscore of 86 and a review count high enough to trust the aggregate. It's one of the most-reviewed sets in the category, which tells you it's widely bought and widely kept.

So should you actually buy it?

Is this kit good for beginners? Yes — reviewers consistently say it's excellent for beginners, with one noting "excellent progression from beginner to…" and several others describing how quickly they were able to move through the sizes.

What is the material like? Soft and flexible. Most reviewers appreciate that, though one said "I'm usually not a big fan of the material of these plugs but they aren't as bad as I thought they were" — so if you know you dislike PVC, this won't convert you.

How quickly can one progress with this kit? It varies. One person used all three sizes in a single night and felt ready for penetrative play; another took a few weeks. Both arrived at the same place, which suggests the kit works at whatever pace you set.

A well-reviewed, well-priced training set that does exactly what it claims — helps people move from beginner to confident in a way that feels achievable. The soft material is a strength for most users and a dealbreaker for a few. The base on the largest plug needs watching, but the progression itself is sound and the review count is high enough to trust.

If you're new to anal play and want a clear path forward, this is a sensible place to start.
