Insert a clean, lubricated finger into the rectum
Aim toward the front wall of the rectum, toward the belly button
Feel about 2 to 3 inches inside
Look for a firm, rounded gland about the size of a walnut
It may feel slightly different on each side with a small groove in the middle

Use gloves and lubrication for safety and comfort
If unsure, ask a healthcare professional
