How to Choose a Silicone Butt Plug

What Is a Silicone Butt Plug?

The silicone butt plugs are butt plugs made entirely or coated in silicone, and these provide a more comfortable and body-safe experience. Silicone is non-porous, semi-flexible, and durable, and it does not release any harmful chemicals, so that you can use it in your sensitive areas. Also, silicone is effortless to clean, and you can wash your silicone butt plug with soap and water or with a sex toy cleaner. But you can also sterilize a silicone butt plug with a bleach solution; you can boil the non-motorized silicone butt plug but also wash it in the dishwasher.

How to Choose a Silicone Butt Plug?

When you are after a quality silicone butt plug, you need to be aware of several things that will ensure you’ll get a butt plug you can safely use for years. As you have the material choice already settled, you should pay attention to:

• Your experience level – we are putting this first, as we believe you need to base your butt plug choice on your experience, as beginners should pick smaller butt plugs or an anal training kit that they can use safely and enjoyably. Intermediate users can transition to intermediate-size butt plugs, while highly experienced people can go for large silicone butt plugs that provide intense pleasure.
• Design – you can select silicone butt plugs that have a slim, elongated shape, a teardrop shape or you can get models that have a spade-like shape, or you can get a model with bulbs or some other exciting yet ergonomic shape. The shape of your silicone butt plug plays a vital role in how you can use it and the sensations it provides.
• Size – the size of your silicone butt plug is another thing you must think about because beginners should buy smaller anal toys, while experienced users can get a large butt plug. As a general rule, any butt plug that has over 3.5 inches of insertable length and more than 1.7 inches at the widest part is considered a large butt plug.
• Additional features – you can find silicone butt plugs with jeweled bases, inflatable butt plugs, vibrating butt plugs coated in silicone, models with suction cups, textured models, and other features.

Types of Silicone Butt Plugs

The silicone butt plugs come in different shapes and sizes, but here we can separate two special types of silicone butt plugs on top of the regular silicone models you can find in our store:

• Jeweled silicone butt plugs – these are silicone butt plugs that have an ABS or semi-precious stone “jewel” embedded into the base, and these add a dose of luxury and exoticness to your anal play.
• Vibrating silicone butt plugs – these are silicone butt plugs that feature a vibrating mechanism that provides a new level of anal play.

Benefits of Using a Silicone Butt Plug

Using a silicone butt plug is one of the most exciting toys for anal play, as you have a toy made from body-safe material that can be intense and pleasurable to use:

• Enhanced anal pleasure – the silicone butt plug can provide you with stimulating sensations as it stretches and stimulates the thousands of nerve endings in the anus, which many people find highly pleasurable.
• Train your anus for more – the silicone butt plug is an excellent choice for training your anus for more, like a bigger butt plug, or to prepare your body for anal sex. You can gradually increase the size of the silicone butt plug you use over time to stretch your anus and prepare for your partner’s penis.
• Safe use – silicone is body-safe and very durable, as it does not release any substances, nor does it lose its characteristics over time. It is non-porous, which means it will not absorb smells, and it is effortless to clean and keep pristine. Silicone is only compatible with water-based lubes, so make sure you stock up on a quality water-based lube.

Tips to Safely Use a Silicone Butt Plug

The important thing when using a silicone butt plug is to get a model that is fit for your experience level. Also, make sure you have a bowel movement before you start anal play, and you can also do an anal douche to rinse and clean your rectum and more efficiently and comfortably embark on your anal play. We always suggest you focus on your safety and your pleasure when using a silicone butt plug, and keep note of these tips:

• Use compatible lube – you must use water-based lube with your silicone butt plug, as silicone-based and oil can deteriorate the silicone surface.
• Clean your silicone butt plug – cleaning your silicone butt plug is effortless, as silicone is non-porous, and most often, silicone butt plugs are waterproof and can be washed with soap and water or sex toy cleaner. You can also sterilize your non-vibrating silicone butt plugs in boiling water or run it on a quick cycle in the dishwasher. Make sure you store your silicone butt plugs in safe sex toy storage bags, away from other silicone materials.
• Slow and easy insertion – always start slow and easy, and never force your silicone butt plug into the anus. Listen to your body, stop and relax if necessary, and enjoy the sensations of slowly stretching your anus and placing your silicone butt plug inside.
