Butt Plugs

What is a Butt Plug?

Butt plugs are a fantastic way to add a little spice to your intimate play. Not only are they deliciously naughty and easy to use, they also come in a wide range of shapes and sizes - perfect for all experience levels.

Usually stiffer than your average sex toy, anal plugs give the wearer precise internal pressure. For people with a prostate, male butt plugs offer targeted P-spot stimulation, delivering some rather intense orgasms.

Why Use a Butt Plug?

Anal play is fun for everyone with a butt. We all have nerve endings in there, so knocking at the back door is a great way to up your pleasure in the bedroom. Anal toys like butt plugs provide satisfying, filling sensations which can heighten your experience and tip you over the edge.

When it comes to butt stuff, though, you can’t put any old thing up there. An anal plug is specifically designed for your tush, so will always have a wide flared base. This ingeniously holds it firmly in place while you enjoy your lover, yourself, or get a spot of hoovering done. But, most importantly, it protects you from over-insertion (and stops things getting… lost).

How to Choose the Best Butt Plug for You

Just like all the best things in life, butt plugs come in an array of styles. There really is a perfect plug for every butt.

Beginners

For beginners just starting out on their anal adventures, smaller, lighter plugs are your best bet. These allow you to experience the joys of anal stimulation without pushing your limits.

Perhaps start with a slimline plug. These are great for beginners as they are small, non-intimidating and lightweight. They’re also on the cheaper end of the scale, allowing you to explore the world of anal fun without too much commitment.

Solo Play

If you’re acquainted with a spot of bum-fun and are looking to up the ante, you may want to try our range of vibrating butt plugs. These deliver shivers of vibration into those hard-to-reach anal erogenous zones.

If you fancy exploring some other materials, silicone is a luxurious choice, plus it’s flexible and non-porous. Silicone butt plugs come in a range of shapes, girths and lengths, letting you intensify the experience when you’re ready.

Glass butt plugs are a high-glamour option for jazzing up your rosebud. Not only are glass sex toys pretty butt plugs to look at, they also offer unrivalled, precise pressure and unique temperature play sensations.

When you’ve mastered smaller plugs, you could experiment with larger sizes and heavier weights. Inflatable plugs allow you to increase the girth and length of the plug as you go for graduated gratification.

While metal butt plugs are often heavier than their plastic counterparts, they offer targeted stimulation and satisfying sensations which are ideal for anal connoisseurs. They can also be heated and cooled, allowing you to experiment with temperature play.

Couples

Anal plugs are just as great for couples play as they are for solo play, no matter which type you choose. Using a butt plug during sex can tighten and stimulate different erogenous zones, creating all-new sensations for both you and your partner.

And for those who can’t resist a spot of drama, butt plugs with tails are a sure-fire way to boost your fantasy role play and give your lover a sight they’ll never forget.

How to Prepare for Using a Butt Plug

First things first, you need to lube up. This is especially important when using anal sex toys, because butts don’t self-lubricate like mouths and vaginas. Be sure to apply plenty of anal lube to your anal plug so it can slip in with ease.

When planning for bum fun, cleanliness goes a long way. And being clean isn't just important for hygiene or common courtesy for a partner - knowing that you're squeaky clean down below helps you, the butt plug wearer, to relax and enjoy the experience more too.

For most people, being clean is as simple as making sure you’ve been to the toilet that day (so there’s no poop waiting to evacuate) and having a thorough wash in the bath or shower prior to using your toy. If you’re keen to take extra care, you can also use an anal douche to flush your anus about 45 minutes before you plan to enjoy your butt plug.

How to Use a Butt Plug

Butt plugs can be used in all manner of sexy scenarios. But it’s important to know how to use them properly.

If you’re lubed up and feeling clean, then you’re all set to get going. Just remember that slow and steady wins the race. Firstly, you should position yourself comfortably, either bent over on all-fours (aka doggy-style), on your back with a cushion under your butt and with your legs spread, or squatting over the plug on your feet or knees. Then you’re ready to slide the plug inside, but be sure to pause if you experience discomfort so your body can adjust to any new sensations.

When your butt plug is in place, you’ll feel different kinds of pleasure. For women, the vagina will become tighter, which will change up the experience of using dildos and even vaginal sex with a partner. For men, the plug will massage nerve endings in your butt and prostate that can create mind-blowing orgasms on your own, or with a partner.

If you've climaxed whilst wearing your anal plug, remember that the muscles in this area will have just contracted. This means you'll need to wait a moment or two for your muscles to relax before gently pulling on the flared base to remove your toy.
