How to Put in a Butt Plug – Beginner Guide

What is a butt plug?

A butt plug is a type of anal sex toy used for masturbation and partnered play. They come in various shapes, sizes, and materials. Common materials for butt plugs include silicone, glass, and metal.

Most standard butt plugs have a flared base. This prevents the toy from getting lost during use. Double-ended plugs do not need this base. Butt plug shapes are diverse! In this blog, we will introduce different kinds of plugs, how to use them, and things to keep in mind.

What is the purpose of a butt plug?

Butt plugs are sex toys used to stimulate the anus. "A butt plug can help create feelings of stretch, opening, and/or fullness, and quickly stimulate the P-spot for orgasm." According to survey data, most people can experience anal orgasm.

Anal orgasm is real. The so-called P-spot is inside the anus and can bring climax to both men and women.

• For men: A butt plug can be used to achieve prostate orgasm.
  
  

• A plug can be used to expand the anus and allow men to enjoy big dildo for climax.
  
  

• For women: A butt plug can be used for warm-up before anal sex, or used alone along with vaginal penetration, clitoral stimulation, or masturbation.

The female anal area lies between the A-spot and PD-spot. Use your imagination and explore with a butt plug!

First-time use precautions

If you're planning to try anal play, it’s better to wait a few hours after a bowel movement for cleanliness.

How to insert a butt plug?

The anus cannot self-lubricate, so you must prepare plenty of lubricant. For beginners, start with a small plug. First do some warm-up, play soft music, clean your hands and nails, apply lube to your fingers, and massage the inside and outside of your anus.

Choosing the right size is important:

Beginners should choose small, easy-to-insert plugs. Best to use plugs with a tapered tip that gradually widens to help adapt during insertion.

Choosing the right material is important:

Silicone is the best choice for beginners . Silicone plugs are soft and smooth and easy to use with lubricant.

Metal plugs are usually slim and great for butt plug beginners. They can also be used for temperature play.

First-time users should choose plugs with flared bases or curved tails to prevent over-insertion and for easier removal.

Advanced users can try anal plugs that are larger or more shaped. Here I recommend fist dildo as the first choice for advanced users.

How to remove a butt plug

Relax in a comfortable position. Hold the flared base and gently pull. If the lube has dried, it might not come out easily. Try to mimic the feeling of pooping. Apply lube around your anus again and gently release pressure on your sphincter while pulling—this should help remove it.
