Using a Sex Wedge for Anal Sex: Angles, Positions & Tips

Sex Wedge for Anal Sex

A sex wedge is particularly valuable for anal sex because the angle of entry matters significantly more for comfort than in vaginal sex. Even a 10–15 degree change in hip angle can mean the difference between comfortable and uncomfortable.

The whole page is about angle, and angle is exactly what soft foam gives up on first. Ours is firm on purpose.

Why Angle Matters for Anal

The anal canal follows the body's natural curve, which varies by anatomy. Many people find that a specific elevation angle aligns the entry point with the canal's direction and reduces the pushing-against-resistance sensation. A wedge lets you dial in that angle precisely and maintain it without muscular effort.

The set

This section is why we sell a set rather than a single wedge. Different configurations want different shapes.

  • Pieces that sit together without sliding
  • High density foam throughout
  • Removable machine washable covers

Most Useful Configurations

Receiver on back, hips elevated by wedge under pelvis: creates a clear approach angle for the giving partner. Receiver lying face-down over wedge: elevates hips in a rear-entry configuration. Receiver kneeling on wedge, leaning forward: similar but with more receptor body control.

Start lower than you think. You can always add height, and it is easier than taking it away mid moment. See PILLOW TALK

Starting Out

Start with minimal elevation (low end of the wedge) and adjust from there. The goal is to find the angle where penetration meets the least resistance. Once found, the wedge maintains that angle passively.
