Why Should You Trust Us?

In one word, our list was compiled only after the products have been sampled and tested to give you the right kind of feel you deserve. All the types of butt plugs on our list were rated and examined based on their material constituent, size limit, and construction. Here is a further explanation of how these tests were carried out.

Material Constituent

As much as you’d love anal plugs to be flexible, rigid, or realistic, the material also has to be safe to use. There are two parts to this test. First, each material is checked for the presence or absence of allergens. Phthalate and latex are two of the many allergens that are usually found within many sex toys. These materials are dangerous to the skin and unsafe to use. Also, the material is checked for the presence of any material that could trigger allergic reactions. That way, you would be aware of any precautions you need to take before using your cute butt plugs.

Size Limit

Whether you get the best plugs for men or women, butt plugs are not supposed to be too big. This is because the anal opening is naturally small and tight (unlike the pussy which is more loose and wet). Therefore, our experts ensured that these plugs were large enough to go through the tightest anal openings. The anal plugs were also checked so that they are not too small.

Construction

Similar to the size limit, the construction of each butt plug has been reviewed to ensure that it isn’t difficult to fit into a butt hole or difficult to remove. The basic part of every butt plug should be the head and tail. Without a base, it will be almost impossible to remove and might slip into your butt. To prevent this, we made sure all the plugs on our best anal plugs list have a base and, of course, an erotic head.

What is a Butt Plug?

Now, you might be wondering ‘what makes this plug any different?’ Apart from the joy that it can be used solo, with a partner, and without any gender limit, they plug your butt in a candy-heaven sort of way. They look like a teardrop with a narrow head and a wide base for easy penetration. The size of the base is what prevents the accident of sucking it too far inside your anus. Some of the variations come with a tail that you can control how deep it goes in. Tail butt plugs are best suited for those who have little to no experience with anal play or those that are blessed with wide anus size. There are several benefits of using anal plugs. First, then enhance sexual pleasure. Since the anus can stimulate both the G and P spots of both a man and a woman, you can have all the sweet icing on the cake with any variation of the anal plug. And if you’ve never had an anal orgasm, you really should consider investing in one of the different types of butt plugs. Finally, they help to stretch your anus. This way, your anus is well-prepped for bigger anal arousal like gaping, bigger toys, or a penis.

Types and main characteristics

There are many variations of butt plugs depending on how you want them. Some are inflatable, others and vibrating and some can be a mix of both. They also come in different materials, shapes, or sizes. Some anal plug types have more power than the others, while some are waterproof and can be used in the shower. To make your options clearer, we have divided them into subgroups. Take a look at each one to know which is best for you. And if you already have a back-side plug, you might find another variety that is to your liking.

Traditional Anal Plug

They is also called the classic or first-time plugs, specially made for beginners. They are called first-time butt plugs because they come in a pretty uncomplicated shape and an average size. The tip is usually narrow to make penetration easy and help the anal muscles relax as you push the plug deeper into the anus. They are also relatively smaller in size but long enough to still reach the hot spot of the anus. The traditional butt plug comes in different materials like silicone, glass, and nickel-free aluminum alloy metal. First-time butt plugs also come with stoppers or flare bases at the end to prevent difficulty in removing the plug during anal play. For feminine tastes, cute butt plugs are also available with petals, gems, jewels and flowers, and other decorations to make them attractive. Some are round while some come in the shape of the heart. Whatever anal plug sizes you decide to choose from, remember to keep your anal size in mind and use enough lubricant.

Vibrating Butt Plug

If you have a kink for vibrators, good news! There are vibrating butt plugs that vibrate in your anus. Most of them are made with remote controls to customize how fast or how intense you want your anal toy to stimulate you. Like first-time butt plugs, they are also made from silicone or stainless steel. There are long and short ones, large ones, and thick ones with varying designs. They all depend on what you pick. The only difference is that – they vibrate. Even though they are recommended for experienced users, you can easily get used to them as a beginner. Some are wired, while some aren’t. Some are also rechargeable while some others come with a standard battery that can be replaced when required. It is best to start with a slow speed while using a vibrating anal plug, then you can increase the speed when you crave a more intense feeling leading to anal orgasm.

Hollow Butt Plug

Hollow butt plugs are like a normal sexual back-side plugs, but with an empty cylinder inside of them (a hole). The reason for the hollowness is mostly to stretch the anal muscles in preparation for anal sex. Asides from that, they are used just like any other butt plug. Hollow anal plugs are made from either plastic or rubber and are mostly waterproof (which means they can be used in the shower). They come in many sizes and colors, and some are with eye-catching designs. A few are clear so that you can see the inside of your partner’s sweet juicy ass. But as always, ensure to use a good and compatible lubricant before insertion.

Tail Butt Plugs

These are (as the name implies) butt plugs with tails. They have a fake animal tail attached to it making you look like a sexy four-legged animal ready to cum. The animal tails are mostly made from wolves, dogs, foxes, cats, or other closely related animals. The cute ones might come in rabbit or kitten tails. Tail butt plugs are the best while role-playing and they come in different colors and lengths. However, the plug is from either silicone or stainless steel. The ‘tail’ in tail butt plugs comes in different feel and colors of fur. The plugs aren’t with flexible length variation, as most of them are within 3.5 to 4 inches long. Some interesting features of this butt plug include the ability to glow in the dark and vibrate. However, be sure that neither you nor your partner is allergic to fur before using a tail butt plug.

Inflatable Butt Plug

An inflatable butt plug can have more than one size in one. They can be inflated to be smaller or larger than their original size. Though they are recommended for experienced users, if you have used a butt plug before, you might be able to work your way around an inflatable anal plug. Some varieties of butt plugs vibrate which kinks up the sexual excitement. Before using the plug, insert it with enough lube, and then pump it up to increase the size. They are usually made from phthalates-free rubber and the start size is usually between 2 to 8 inches. Many inflatables are not waterproof and some come with latex (in case you are sensitive). They also come in different shapes to stimulate different parts of the anus.

Princess Butt Plug

The princess butt plug is for people who love cute things. If you are doing it solo or having fun as a couple, the princess butt plug is a definite yes in the list of butt plugs you should try. They are mostly cute and have many designs (such as gems, jewels, or pearls) on them to make them look beautiful and princess-like. They come in many shapes and sizes too. Most princess butt plugs look like a Round diamond or a heart. And the color variations are feminine and pretty such as pink, red, glitter, or clear. Some are waterproof and some vibrate, depending on what you or your partner prefers.

Other Types

If you want to kick up your anal sexual experience up a little more, you can take a look at these other varieties. However, you should only use these types if you are a regular butt plug user, so you don’t injure yourself. Also, lubrication is key while using all anal plug types. And yes, lubrication can never be too much. The other types include a fist-shaped or hand-shaped, extra-large butt plug, anchor-shaped and so many more butt plug types.

Butt Plugs Vs Other Sex Toys

As long as you have a butt, you are good to go. Anal plugs are made specifically to spice up anal sex, hence, are targeted at the butt hole for insertion. It is very similar to other anal sex toys especially when you check out different types of butt plugs. Nonetheless, it is a classic piece that will definitely up your experience with anal stimulation. Also, if you doubt your ability to take in the full width of an anal plug, you can try kegel balls or anal beads. They are much smaller, and they prepare you for the big game with butt plugs.

How To Choose the Best Butt Plug?

With the many types of anal plugs listed above, it can be very confusing to know which one is best for you (especially if you are a beginner). But we have not left you hanging. Here are a few tips to help you chose the best butt plug.

1. Decide on how deep you want to go when it comes to anal play. If you are a beginner, it is better, to begin with, shorter plugs such as the classic butt plug, princess, or vibrating butt plugs. But if you are looking for something more, an inflatable one is not a bad place to start.
2. The base: Make sure that you are getting an anal plug where the base is larger than the tip.
3. The tip: If you are a newbie to anal play, pay close attention to how thick or thin the tip of the plug is.
4. The material: Ensure that you are not sensitive to the butt plug’s material before purchase. You won’t want to get an allergic reaction.
5. The size: As with other sex toys, always begin at a small size before leveling up.

Features of Inserting and Using Butt Plug

A butt plug is easy to use if you know your way around it. However, if misused, it could lead to anus or vagina tear (or general discomfort). And this is the opposite of what you are looking for, right? For example, the best position for the use of an anal plug depends greatly on your comfort. Most people prefer the doggy style when using it as a couple. But you can use any of the anal sex positions during solo anal play.

Follow the steps below to use a butt plug:

1. Clean the anal plug with mild soap and water.
2. Take a warm bath or begin with foreplay with your partner.
3. Apply your favorite lubricant on the plug and your anus.
4. Press the tip slightly against your anus’ opening and gently slide it in.
5. Stop immediately if it becomes too painful. Then try again with a smaller size or with more lube.

As a golden rule when using sex toys, it is essential to ensure that you are well relaxed and adequately aroused. Regardless of your sex and your sexual experience, using a butt plug can make sex more enjoyable if used correctly. Follow these steps on using a butt plug safely and experience the most pleasure:

Talk With Your Partner

The first and most crucial step on using butt plugs — as with any other sex toy — is to have an open conversation with your partner about using a butt plug. It is essential to get consent from your partner or give support, not only before sexual intercourse but also during sexual intercourse.

Choose The Best Butt Plug for You

Find out which butt plug is the right fit for you. Research size, material, and shape to find out what works for you. It is important to start with a smaller size and work your way up to a more filling type. You can purchase an anal training kit that comes with several butt plugs of different sizes.

Practice Good Hygiene

This is especially important because sexual activities related to the anus require lots of care to avoid infections; without proper hygiene, your butt plugs could become infected by bacteria that are naturally in your colon. These bacteria can cause disease when they contact your mouth or genitalia.

Get In the Mood

The muscles in your anus relax when you’re turned on, making insertion of the butt plug easier, thus, making sexual intercourse with a butt plug more pleasurable. Whether you are masturbating or having partner sex, it is important to be adequately aroused before using a butt plug. Consider stimulating other erogenous spots before utilizing a butt plug: foreplay is important for arousal.

Use Lots of Lubrication

The anus does not produce enough lubrication for comfortable and pleasurable sex. Thus, it is important to use lots of lubrication during anal play. It is essential to use lots of lubrication regularly during anal play. Water-based and silicone-based lubricants are highly recommended.

Be Patient

It is important to note that when using butt plugs, you must take your time. Learn how to insert a butt plug before attempting to use a butt plug. This is especially important for beginners who have never used any anal sex toy before. Beginners have to insert the tip of the butt plug carefully and gradually push in the rest of the butt plug as they feel comfortable.

Use Butt Plugs During Other Sexual Activities: Using a butt plug during other sexual activities can increase arousal whether you’re a man or a woman. For vaginas, wearing an anal butt plug during penetrative sex can improve stimulation and make teaching a climax much easier.

How to Clean

• Porous butt plugs: Porous butt plugs have stricter cleaning rules than their nonporous counterparts. That is why many people prefer to go for nonporous butt plugs instead. However, once you know the correct way to maintain porous butt plugs, it will become an easy routine in no time. Because porous materials have pores, you should not use any hard objects on them. They should be hand cleaned immediately after use with warm water and mild soap. You have to clean them right after use because porous butt plugs are highly susceptible to bacteria infestation. The pores allow bacteria to breed in them as fast as flash. Ensure that you do not use any harsh cleaning agent or abrasives on porous butt plugs at any point. Otherwise, you would be making more holes on their surfaces for bacteria to penetrate more freely. After washing the butt plug, pat it half-dry clean towel and allows the remaining moisture to dry naturally. Ensure you store the butt plug in its case and away from other sex toys.
• Nonporous butt plugs: Nonporous butt plugs are easier to clean than porous ones. Their cleaning process is as simple as washing with mild soap, warm water, and a light sponge. You should spend up to two minutes cleaning a nonporous butt plug before rinsing it off.

However, do not scrub your nonporous butt plugs too hard just because they are firm. Avoid scratching their surfaces to prevent injuries when you insert them in your anus. When you are done washing, wipe your nonporous butt plug with a clean towel and allow it to dry completely. Ensure you store them in a cool, dry place, away from other sex toys.

Extra Tips on How to Clean a Butt Plug

• Do not submerge your porous butt plug for a long time.
• Always store your butt plug in its case and away from other sex toys.
• Do not boil your porous butt plug and any type made with combustible materials.
• Make sure not to scrub your butt plug with abrasives.
• Disinfect your butt plug with non-irritating compounds.
• Try not to share your butt plug with anyone. However, if you have to share, clean the butt plug thoroughly before and after use to avoid contracting or spreading infections.

Safety Regulations

To prevent a tear while using an anal plug, the trick is to pick the right size, engage in foreplay, relax and use a million liters of lube. Since the anus does not lubricate itself during sexual play (as with the vagina), it can get dry and friction would occur between the toy and the anus’ walls. So, make sure you use plenty of lube and engage in sexual foreplay to help relax the anal muscles when using a butt plug. Also, make sure that you’re not using a butt plug size that is too big especially if you are a newbie.

Where to Store

Store your butt plug in the same place you store your other sex toys. But if this is your first sex toy, you should store it in a cool, dry place. Make sure it is not locked away so that it doesn’t accumulate dust nor breed germs from moisture and heat.

Factors To Consider Before Choosing

Experience Level

The level of your experience will determine the best anal plug for you. If you are new to anal sex entirely, you might want to begin with a butt plug that is thin and short like one of the cute butt plugs. If you are experienced with anal sex and stimulation but new to butt plugs, you can go a bit higher to find your pick among the medium sizes. But if you can almost be called a master at the game, vast at anal stimulation, and experienced with butt plugs, then the basic ones can be too dull for you. Look for your choice on the top shelf, with features like a vibrator and many different but erotic shapes, as well.

Anatomy of the Toy

Secondly, you need to pay attention to the way the butt plug is designed. Many butt plug manufacturers get caught up in trying to make an anal plug appealing, and they forget the necessary structure that makes a plug safe for use. For instance, the base is a huge necessity in the construction of a butt plug. Without a firm and defined base, control might be difficult. Similarly, the best anal plugs must include a pointed tip. If the tip is rounded, it would be difficult to insert it into your butthole. The thinness of the tip depends on how easy or slightly BDSM-like you want the insertion to be.

Sensitivity to Material

If you have sensitive skin then this is another necessary factor. Check for the properties of the anal plug before you make a purchase. Ensure that you are not allergic to the material. If you are purchasing for your partner, inquire about his or her health requests to ensure that you don’t make a costly mistake.

Gender

Butt plugs are split into two: butt plugs for women and one for men. As a woman, your butthole is more flexible and stretchy than that of a man, hence, the varieties of butt plugs you will get would have different shapes and designs. Also, gender might determine the color of the anal plug.

Advantages and Disadvantages

• Butt plugs help to expand the anus in preparation for anal sex, or bigger sex toys.
• They raise the bar on anal stimulation.
• They can stimulate both the G and P spots of both women and men.
• They are easy to hide in the house or workplace due to their small size.
• They come in different forms, so you can’t but find one of your choices.
• You can still have your vibrators in a butt plug.
• They are very easy to clean.

Just like any other thing, there are a few disadvantages and side effects that are not all that fun. These include:

• They can cause a tear in the vagina and anus if not properly used.
• Butt plug (like other anal sex toys) need a lot of lubes to enjoy anal stimulation.
• It can be uncomfortable in first-use.

Concluding remarks

Butt plugs are one of the many anal sex toys on the market. They are one of your best bets if you are looking for ways to spice up your sexual life. They are very easy to use, clean, and store. What’s more, there are numerous options to explore and choose from, you are sure to find one that suits your preference.
