Butt Plugs Frequently Asked Questions
What is a butt plug?
A butt plug is a tapered anal toy with a flared base that sits outside the body to prevent full insertion. Unlike toys designed for thrusting, plugs are meant to be worn — creating a constant, pleasurable fullness that can enhance sensation, deepen orgasms or simply add a delicious awareness of the body’s capacity for touch.
How do I use a butt plug?
Using a butt plug is all about patience and listening to your body. Start with a generous amount of water-based lubricant — this is essential for added comfort. Apply lube to both the plug, then guide the tapered tip in slowly. The key is to go slow and steady and remain as relaxed as possible.
Once inside, you can wear it during foreplay, solo play or even while using other toys like vibrators or dildos.
When you’re ready to remove it, take it slow — add a little more lubricant if needed, gently pull on the base and allow the body to release the plug at its own pace. The experience should feel smooth, controlled and pleasurable.
Are butt plugs suitable for beginners?
Yes! Simply start with a slender, smooth design. The key is gentle, patient insertion with plenty of water-based lubricant. Beginners often begin with smaller sizes and gradually increase as comfort grows. Many find that what starts as exploration evolves into a favourite part of their routine.
How do I choose the right butt plug?
Size and shape are everything. Beginners usually choose slender, smooth anal plugs that glide in easily. More advanced users may prefer gentle curves for pressure against internal nerve zones. Consider how long you want to wear it and whether you want vibration or a remote control for added intensity.
How do I clean and care for my anal plug?
Clean your butt plug before and after each session. Rinse with warm water and use a gentle sex toy cleaner to remove residue. Because some plugs have contours or joints, take extra care around edges. Dry fully — either let air dry or pat with a soft cloth — before storing in a discreet, dust-free pouch or drawer.
