You are probably most familiar with a butt plug shape that has a bulb that slims to a tip, a slender neck and a flared base. They are designed this was for a reason! 

The tip of the butt plug is for easy insertion, whilst the bulb gives a satisfying pleasurable fullness feeling once it is inside you. To keep it in place these pleasurable anal toys have a slender neck and a flared base to stop it from going in too deep. You love experimenting with anal sex toys which is great but whatever you do don’t use a toy that doesn’t have a flared base as there is a high risk of over insertion which may lead to a trip to A&E that no one wants to make. 

Some butt plugs also come curved with a contoured, angled bulb to stimulate the P-spot or prostate. There are vibrating butt plugs too, some of which have remote controls making them a great sex toy for couples whilst turning up the heat in the bedroom. 

If you are new to the world of anal toys, you will need to go with a small butt plug that is beginner friendly. Some people may have crossed out butt plugs on their sex toy list as there has always been a bit of a taboo about anal fun, however the anal opening has the highest concentration of nerve endings so even the smallest anal can provide incredible sensations. Also, as everyone has a hole, anyone can use a butt plug. 

Primarily, butt plugs are used for anal stimulation, that can bring new levels of pleasure and intensity to sex whether it is with a partner or solo. For those experienced anal toy players they can be used for warming up for larger anal sex toys or more anal play because using a butt plug is also a method of stretching the anus. 

A butt plug can make her feel absolutely amazing. This anal toy pushes on the back of the vaginal wall making her feel tighter which turns up the intensity during penetration and orgasm. As she reaches her climax, the contractions around the butt plug creating amazing sensations as the nerve endings around the anus are stimulated making the plug a fantastic sex toy for women. A butt plug can also be used during sex as a double penetration toy for women if she is in to experiencing that thrill.  

Butt plugs can be a great way of discovering the magical P-spot for men. The butt plug can stimulate the prostate which is a very sensitive gland which for some can help reach the treasured land. About two to three inches inside the back passage sits the prostate, and when reached by a curved butt plug it can throw the body into a pleasurable spasm giving much more intense orgasms. Butt plugs can be an intesne sex toy for men to introduce to your steamy sessions. 

All that said, of course no matter your gender, butt plugs are a great anal toy as long as you are up for them!

You may have read some of Pure Pleasure’s Sex Toy Advice Guides including How To Use Anal Toys. A recurring piece of advice is always lube up! We can’t stress how important lubricant is when using some sex toys. The hole on the back sides of our body’s doesn’t naturally lube up like vaginal sex so that is why the number 1 rule for anal sex toys is plenty of lube.

At Pure Pleasure, one of the leading online adult toy shops, we offer a range of silicone and water based lubricants specifically designed for anal play. One thing you need to know is that whilst silicone lube allows you last longer and doesn’t dry out, it can cause damage to rubber butt plugs or silicone butt plugs. For these sex toys we recommend sticking with water based lubes.

When using the water based lubricants you might have to re apply it more regularly but that is certainly better than damaging your favourite butt plug. 

Now it is time to start the butt plug fun! We have out together 5 step guide to help you on your anal adventure.

Step 1: Be open, relaxed and patient

Communication is key, similar to any sex toy play. Have a chat about what you are going to do first as no one wasn’t s surprise visitor in the back door, no matter how great it feels. Once you are in agreement you are all set to go.

Start with some foreplay so that you are feeling nice and relaxed as your body will be much more open. Ensure that both you and the butt plug is clean as hygiene should always come first. You can use warm soapy water to clean the anal toy and if you are sharing the butt plug with your partner consider cleaning it thoroughly between uses or using a condom.

Step 2:  Apply the lube

We know we keep on banging on about lube but it is incredibly important to get the most out of your anal toy. Apply some lubricant to your butt plug.

Step 3: Find the right position

The best positions for slipping it in are all fours, on your side (like being the little spoon), lying on your back with a pillow on your hips or flipped over on your front with a pillow underneath. Make sure you’re nice and comfortable, as this will make a big difference in keeping you relaxed and ready for penetration.

Step 4: Start slowing and gently

As a rookie butt plug user, it will most likely feel a bit strange at first so start by gradually inserting the tip of the anal sex toy and ease it in gently. It is common to feel some resistance at first and if you feel any discomfort or pain stop, relax and try again as you should never force the anal plug in.

Now that the butt plug is in, relax and enjoy the pleasurable sensations!

Step 5:  Know Your Limits 

You may not want to take out your butt plug as if feels so great! Don’t get too carried away, as with all sex toys as prolonged use can cause irritation. Listen to what your body is telling you.

As a beginner start with using your butt plug for short periods to allow your body to adjust. Soon you will probably want to extend the pleasure so you can gradually extend the time which you are using the butt plug. Then when you are ready to take it to the next level to increase the incredible sensations, you can go for a vibrating butt plug.
