Poisoning from silicone implants is a result of gel leaking out of the sac of an implant- gel that was never meant to come into contact with the internal body. The silicone in implants is a different form, and there are other chemicals involved in those items that are dangerous for the body.
Firm silicone used in sex toys does not shed or leak in that manner, and is by far the best option for softer sex toys (i.e. not glass or metal).
Glass and metal are good options, but you do need to be careful when using these materials anally. The anus is delicate and curved, so toys with some flex that can curve with it are safer.
