Butt Plug Play | How to Pick the Right One

Butt plug play is excellent for those of you with a kinky anal fetish. So, here's our guide to selecting the right one for you and the best way to use it. The best thing? Once you pop your butt plug in, no one except you will know you're wearing it!

Kinky or vanilla, beginner or advanced, a well-fitting anal plug is an essential part of any fetish toy chest. You or your sub will come harder and longer from the added pressure and stimulation, and it's one of the few toys built to stay right where it belongs.

Pop it in on your way out of the house, or use it on yourself or your partner during a scene. Attach a vibrator if you like, or if not, a ponytail. Whatever your kink and whatever you go for, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to butt plug play, whether your first (or fifth) butt plug.

Bigger is not necessarily better

It's always better to start small: beginner butt plugs are skinny, keeping the same girth throughout the toy, while more advanced plugs can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The classic shape is a tapered cone, and others look like penises, dolphins or something normally used to juice a lemon!

Butt plugs make for a good way to try out anal play or to prepare for anal sex. Your butt is full of millions of tiny sensitive nerve endings, so any stimulation or pressure will enhance any other sexual activity.

A Body-safe butt plug is best

Butt plugs can be made out of many different materials, most commonly silicon, metal or glass. Like all other sex toys, always choose body-safe materials and avoid any butt plugs made of petroleum-based plastics.

Whatever the shape, all butt plugs have one thing in common: a flat base with a thin part for your butt to clench around. These keep the butt plug from slipping inside you and can save you from an awkward hospital visit after a kinky session of butt plug play.

Take your time to warm up before butt plug play

A butt plug should be comfortable to wear, and shouldn't feel too long or too wide. As with any anal play, always make sure to warm up your butt before using a plug, and to use a lot of water-based lubricants. Your butt is made of very delicate tissue – too much at once can be painful and potentially cause damage.

So, find the one that's best for you, be it short and fat, or long and skinny, or just plain huge. Some have vibrators inside and can tickle your prostate, or your perineum, or both. Other have rings at the end to help you share the pleasure of butt plug play with someone else. Whatever your choice, enjoy it!
