Butt plugs

In the area of the anus in all people are located numerous nerve endings, which when stimulated contribute to intense emotions. Especially suitable for this are butt plugs. The small sex toy is conical – with a tip at the front and is slightly thicker in the middle. It is inserted into the anus, with the sphincter holding it in the right place. This way you ensure more passion during the whole foreplay. In women, the toy constricts the vagina and the penis or dildo feels even more intense inside. In men, butt plug takes care to deliver pleasurable pressure on the male G-spot – the prostate. The toy is also suitable to be used as a preparation before anal sex as it stimulates and stretches the anus.

Butt plugs differ in material, size and shape. When browsing, pay attention to the following features:

• Material

Butt plugs, like other anal toys, are most commonly made of medical grade silicone. The material is elastic and smooth, and the toys fit the shape of the anus well. There are also PVC or latex models with similar qualities. Less commonly found are items made of jelly, a softened plastic. These models are better to use only with a condom.

Butt plugs made of stainless steel, natural stone or glass are suitable for people who are fond of temperature games, as these materials allow them to be cooled or heated.

• Shape and color

The toys have a different appearance to a dildo but can also have protrusions to deliver stronger sensations. Depending on the design, you may find wider or narrower ones, ones with multiple tips or several different thicknesses. The ones that are tailored to stimulate the prostate have a slight curve at the tip for a snug fit. The toys are also available in all colors – black, blue, red, purple and more.

• Special designs

In addition to the usual butt toys, there are various types tailored for imaginative adventures. Those with a hole in the middle can be filled with liquids, while others with animal tails are suitable for role-playing. Some toys, on the other hand, can inflate like a balloon, and you can control how much they fill you up inside. Rosary-shaped butt plugs feature ball-shaped elements of varying sizes that gradually stimulate the sphincter as they move in and out.

• Size, weight and depth of penetration

Butt plugs, just like anal dildos, come in different sizes depending on how intense you want the sensation from the toy to be, with the most common being between 8 and 19 cm long. The toys are always measured along with the base, so pay attention to the depth of penetration. There is quite a variation in diameters, with some being 2.5 cm at their widest point and others 5 cm. You may therefore also see large differences in weight, from as light as a 40 g feather to others considerably heavier at 300 g.

• Base

Butt plugs don’t go all the way into the anus. This is ensured by a base at the lower end, which can be a round leg, a ring or a plug. In this way, the toy is secured and allows easy removal. There are also suction cup models that allow attachment on a smooth surface.

• Vibrations

Butt plugs with the functionality of a vibrator increase the pleasure of wearing them for both men and women. In addition, vibrating toys provide extra pleasure when massaging the prostate in men. There are also models with a function resembling real sex, in which there is a forward-backward movement. Many of the models can be operated with a remote, allowing your pleasure to be delivered into the hands of your partner.

You can use the toy alone or together with your partner to enhance the arousal and passion between you. Which model suits you best depends on what games you want to use it for.

• Butt plugs for beginners

You don’t have experience with anal toys yet, but more and more often you think about how nice it would be to use one. And now you’ve finally decided that you want to give it a try – together with your partner or on your own first. You stop at a regular silicone toy with a thinner casing. As a beginner, it’s always a good idea to start with smaller sizes and gradually move up to larger sizes as you like. Models with a length of about 9 cm and a thickness of 2.5 cm are suitable for easy penetration.

• Butt plugs for experienced

You love variety and imaginative foreplay that leads you and your partner to even more intense orgasms. Suitable for you may be a stainless steel butt plug that allows temperature play. In case you are looking for even more stimulation, you can buy a rosary-type toy, with each successive bead giving you more pleasure.

Using an anal dilator is extremely simple:

• Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the glans and anal area. This way the toy will move more easily and without causing pain in the anus.
• If there are two of you, stand in an appropriate position, and let your partner insert the toy. If you are alone, and the toy allows it, you can leave it on the ground and slowly sit on it, or you can lie on a cushion and spread your legs to insert it.
• Insert the toy slowly and with minimal pressure. Wait until the sphincter relaxes and gives way. In the beginning, you should be patient and take your time to get used to your new toy. Activate the vibrations only after the toy has taken the right place – this also applies to pump toys.
• After sex, you should clean the anal dilator thoroughly. Rinsing with slightly warm water and soap should suffice in most cases, but if you want perfect hygiene and disinfection it is a good idea to use a special sex toy disinfectant spray.
