Hi Dave28,
My advice would be give yourself plenty of time in a warm, comfortable environment where you won't be interupted (in the shower works if you have silicone lube or just in bed at night), so you can fully relax. Start by just exploring the general area-use a bit of lube on your finger and just massage around your perenium etc gently-this will help you relax more and give you a sense of just how sensitive and pleasurable the whole area really is! For penetration start with something small (like a small butt plug-make sure whatever you use has a wide handle so it doesnt go in too far), and LOTS of high quality lube (but check your toys-dont use silicone lube with silicone toys). Use the toy to do the same thing your finger was doing, and then when it's in the right place just start putting a bit of pressure on it to slide it in. If it's uncomfortable or painful, slow down and add more lube. Lube is essential! But once you get started you will be able to judge how much you can handle. It didn't take me long to go in search of a larger toy after my initial investigations... also it can help sometimes to "bear down" with the muscles in your anus-like you are going to the toilet-as this relaxes the opening and makes penetration easier.
If you are concerned about mess etc it helps if you have been to the toilet a few hours before, and you might feel more comfortable about it if you have a shower or bath first. But, lets be honest, it's an anus right, so don't expect it to be as clean as a whistle. It's really not that big a deal though.
Hope that helps! The biggest key is to relax and use plenty of lube.
