Curious about what a butt plug is and keen to give it a try? You’ve come to the right place. We’re here to answer all your questions about butt plugs—because once you’ve experienced an orgasm with one, you won’t want to go without!

Never heard of a butt plug, or never used one before? You’re certainly not alone. Few people dare to try this delightful toy, which we think is a real shame! So, it’s time for a quick lesson to win you over.

What is a butt plug?

There are plenty of wild stories and quite a few mysteries surrounding butt plugs. For instance, this sex toy is nowhere near as well-known or accepted among women as the vibrator. And what about men?

The truth is, the anal area is an erogenous zone for everyone—so your gender doesn’t matter. Moreover, butt plugs come in various shapes and sizes, and you can explore them either with a partner or on your own.

You can bring out a butt plug in all sorts of ways and at various times. It can be used during masturbation—on yourself or your partner—or during oral sex, foreplay, or even intercourse. The possibilities are endless!

Does it feel good to use a butt plug, or does a butt plug hurt?

A butt plug can feel amazing, but it can just as easily be quite painful—at least if you haven’t prepared properly.

It is important to know that the anus does not self-lubricate during arousal the way a vagina does. Lubricant is therefore an absolute must to prevent tears (and the associated pain and infections).

Also, it is best not to go for a massive size when buying your first butt plug. It is better to start with a smaller one to test the waters and see if it’s for you. You can always opt for a larger model later, once you have more experience.

Many satisfied users describe the sensation provided by a butt plug as wonderfully “full” and report that it leads to more intense orgasms.

Does a butt plug bring dirt with it?

Well, unfortunately, there is a possibility of things getting a bit ‘messy’. After all, this involves anal sex, so there are certain realities to consider. But let us put your mind at ease: it’s not as bad as you might think.

The chance of any ‘brown stuff’ actually coming out with it is extremely slim! But not non-existent… So, it’s a good idea to keep a small towel or some paper towels by the bed to place the toy on after you’re done. Or—even better—head straight to the toilet when you’ve finished. That way, you can easily remove the butt plug and wash it right away. Alternatively, you can do this in the shower—whichever you prefer.

The big advantage: you have your hands free.

Using most sex toys requires at least one—or even both—of your hands. Take a dildo, for example: you have to move it back and forth inside your vagina to mimic the pleasurable sensation of penetration. So, you definitely need your hands for that!

With a butt plug, however, that isn’t necessary. You simply insert the toy (ideally with lubricant) into your anus, and you don’t need to put much—if any—effort into it during sex. After all, a butt plug stays neatly in place, and there is no need to operate it with your hands.

A more intense and longer-lasting orgasm

One final reason—and perhaps the most important one—to use a butt plug is that it makes your orgasm significantly more intense and prolonged.

Inserting a butt plug into your anus during vaginal sex or masturbation creates a sensation of double penetration. Since the anus contains a large number of sensitive nerve endings (in both men and women), a butt plug can lead to a more intense orgasm than usual.

What size butt plug should I get?

The world of butt plugs offers a wide range of sizes and dimensions. This means there is something for everyone, but it also makes finding the right size a bit more challenging.

So, which size butt plug should you choose? We recommend starting small—meaning a narrow diameter.

Later on, once you are more comfortable, you can always upgrade to a larger size. However, it is best to do this gradually, step by step. After some testing and gentle experimentation, you will naturally discover which butt plug is perfect for you.

Well, that’s it! Hopefully, after reading this blog post, you are fully up to speed and convinced to purchase a butt plug of your own.
