Butt plugs

Which butt plug should I choose?

Every plug we sell has a flared or T-shaped base, which is essential for anal play because it stops the plug from going too far. For a first plug, choose something slim with a gentle taper and a narrow neck, or start with an anal training kit, which gives you graduated sizes so you can build up comfortably over time. Our beginner friendly range is a good shortlist, and our beginner's guide covers the basics before you start.

The range includes some of the best-known names in anal play: b-Vibe's Snug Plugs and Rimming plugs, Nexus, Rocks Off, REV, Prowler Red and Master Series.

Materials: silicone, metal and glass

Silicone butt plugs are soft, flexible and non-porous, so they are comfortable to wear and easy to keep clean. Stainless steel plugs are firmer and heavier, which many people enjoy, and they can be warmed in warm water or cooled for temperature play. Whatever you choose, the base matters as much as the shape: a slim, curved base is more comfortable if you want to wear a plug for longer.

Vibrating, rimming and remote control plugs

Vibrating butt plugs add sensation that travels through the whole area. Some, like b-Vibe's Rimming plugs, use rotating beads near the base to mimic rimming, and others offer a thumping or pulsing motion rather than a buzz. Many are rechargeable and waterproof, and remote and app-controlled designs let a partner take charge from across the room. Weighted plugs, such as b-Vibe's Snug Plug range, give a feeling of fullness without needing a larger size.

Plugs for prostate play

A plug with a curved head can press on the prostate, and our prostate massagers are shaped specifically for it. Read how to choose a prostate massager if this is new to you.

How to use a butt plug

Use plenty of lube. The body does not make its own lubrication for anal play, so a thick, long-lasting anal lube makes a big difference. Relax, take your time and stop if anything hurts. Our guide to the best lube for anal explains how to choose between water-based and silicone formulas, and why silicone lube should not be used with silicone toys.

Sizing

Look at the widest diameter and the insertable length on each product page. The widest point is the part you will feel most, so a plug that is slightly longer but slimmer is usually easier. If you are between two sizes, start with the smaller one and move up when you are ready. The size guide shows how each measurement is taken.

Cleaning and care

Wash your plug before and after every use with warm water and a toy cleaner, and let it dry fully. Check the product page before submerging a vibrating plug, because not every model is waterproof. Our guide to cleaning a silicone sex toy has the full steps, and you will find cleaners and douches in douches and toy care.

Butt plug questions

How long can I wear a butt plug?

Start with a few minutes and build up gradually. Listen to your body: if anything feels sore, numb or uncomfortable, take it out. A smaller, slimmer plug with a curved base is the most comfortable choice for longer wear.

Can I use a butt plug with a partner?

Yes. Many people enjoy wearing a plug during sex for a feeling of fullness, and vibrating and remote-controlled plugs let a partner set the pace. Use plenty of lube and keep communicating.

Do I need to douche first?

It is a personal choice rather than a requirement. Some people feel more relaxed after a gentle rinse with a bulb douche and lukewarm water. Avoid douching too often, and never use anything other than plain water.
