How to Use a Butt Plug for Deep and Powerful Sensations

Why use a butt plug?

Butt plugs are an incredibly versatile sex toy that can effectively stimulate the nerve endings in your anus, providing internal pressure and arousing both female and male G-spots. Plugs have two main parts: a shaft or bulb inserted in the anal canal and a base left outside and visible. Both parts are connected by a thin stem, preventing the toy from going deeper than intended.

The answer to the question “why use butt plugs?” seems fairly simple – anal stimulation. However, since the sex toy itself has many variations, it is only natural to assume that it can help you achieve multiple types of pleasure. Whether going solo or with a partner, here are a few reasons you should consider adding a butt plug to your erotic plays.

1. Spice up your sex life

Bring something new into the bedroom by introducing a butt plug to your partner. If you like feeling naughty or want to discover a new side of yourself, trying anal play with butt plugs will help you achieve the desired effect. The sex toy signifies novelty, and the simple fact it's still taboo for many makes people feel adventurous. Moreover, the benefit of wearing one throughout the day in public without anyone knowing can be a strong foreplay point.

Aside from regular butt plugs, there are also butt plugs for the prostate, stimulating a strong prostate orgasm in males. You can wear one while penetrating your partner and explore multiple sensations simultaneously.

2. Train your booty for bigger things to come

If you’re new to anal play or haven’t even tried anal sex, exploring the world of butt plugs can help you prepare for it. Anal trainer kits can introduce you to the sensation of having something in your anus and ease up the process of transferring into real-size genitalia.

It’s essential to start small and gradually up the size of the sex toy. Many sex toy manufacturers produce whole kits specifically for this purpose that contain multiple butt plugs with gradually increasing forms. And you don't even have to have anal sex as your end goal. Anal training is a pleasurable process by itself.

3. Get kinky with BDSM punishment

For those inclined toward the hardcore scene that like experimenting with domination and control, butt plugs can present a new form of pleasurable punishment. You can experiment with bigger sex toys, some even more extreme, for your or the pleasure of your significant other. The simple act of inserting it, wearing it throughout the day, or having sex with it will signify just how bad you are.

Of course, as a beginner, it's always better to stay on the safe side. Even as a form of punishment, using butt plugs shouldn't be painful.

4. Double Penetration Doubles the Pleasure

One of the biggest fantasies among women is double penetration, although not many dares to experiment with threesomes. Entering the scene - butt plugs. Stimulating your anus simultaneously with your vagina almost guarantees a powerful sensation and mind-blowing orgasms. Even if you don’t achieve an orgasm, stimulating the vagina with the partner's fingers or penis while wearing a butt plug will be like nothing you’ve felt before.

You can also try double penetration alone. A vibrating butt plug and a dildo or fingers for solo play can increase your pleasure and help you get a satisfying orgasm. It's best to avoid using two vibrating devices at once for safety reasons.

5. Use your Butt Plug as a Costume

Another benefit of butt plugs is adding accessories to your roleplaying. You can use a sophisticated jewel butt plug and give your partner a dirty surprise, all while feeling fancy and modern. Since this sex toy is also known as the 'princess plug,’ it opens up a lot more possibilities for your erotic adventures.

For the lovers of pet play or animal role-play, there are cat tail butt plugs, dog tail butt plugs, fox tail plugs, and any other animal you can imagine. You can breathe fire in the bedroom by adopting your favorite animal's character and act mischievously for as long as you like.

Before you begin

Although butt plugs are considered straightforward adult toys, there’s actually a lot to think about when choosing the right one. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your favorite:

The right design can go a long way

We already mentioned that there's plenty of variation regarding the aesthetic appeal of butt plugs; however, the same is true for their materials. Glass, wood, silicone, and metal are the most common, although the choices are even wider.

Designs also may vary. Many butt plugs are straight, but there are also ones with rounded bulges for extra pleasure. Then there’s the tip of the butt plug which can be narrow for easier insertion or tapered to allow you to take in the plug at your own pace.

In terms of the neck of the butt plug, you can go with a thin, wide, or no neck at all. For beginners, the first option is the most comfortable, allowing you to easily position the sex toy and be sure it will stay like that all day. The latter may be more uncomfortable and prone to moving; however, they bring a stronger sensation and are good for short-term wear.

For those who feel adventurous, vibrating butt plugs are also a thing. Choosing a smaller size with strong vibrations can bring on a lot more tingling sensations and help achieve toe-curling anal orgasms on the first try.

Safety & pleasure go hand in hand

In addition to choosing the right design, body safety is another thing to consider. Sex toys are labeled novelty items, so they go pretty much unregulated by any federal agency. This means that it’s on you to inspect the materials of the butt plug and make sure the materials they are made of are safe to be around your genitalia.

Usually, cheap toys contain chemicals that can leach into your body and cause allergic reactions, rashes, and infections. While you may be tempted to get the cheap butt plug, opting for a pricier one is often better in the long run to avoid unwanted reactions.

Generally, silicone butt plugs are the preferred choice, followed by glass and stainless steel butt plugs, although they may be hard for some users. Although all three materials are nonporous and easy to upkeep, silicone is the easiest to insert, and with the right lube, it will cause you almost none of the expected discomfort. In contrast, plastic and acrylic butt plugs are affordable but may attract bacteria and result in unwanted effects.

Start small and build yourself up

Although your eagerness to try something new may cloud your judgment, there’s no need to force yourself and go for big sizes that look flashy. As a beginner, it’s best to choose the smallest butt plug you can find and work your way up. Sticking with something small will give you the right idea of what the sex toy feels like and how much you can take in. Whether you use it with a partner or alone, the sheer feeling of unfamiliarity can do wonders, and the toy size doesn’t factor much here.

How to use a butt plug

Using a butt plug is easy but requires a bit of preparation. Choosing the right material, design and size come first, but that's just part of the puzzle. To have a pleasurable experience and ensure you are safe, here are a few steps you need to take.

Prepare for pleasure

Now, you’re probably thinking, what’s to prepare for? When you decide to wear a butt plug, you may think about the feeling of wearing only, but don’t forget about factors like shaving, cleanliness, or friction.

Although it’s not mandatory, many people prefer shaving before going into anal play, but this is not mandatory. As long as you’re well-trimmed down there, you should have no problems. To ensure you’re clean, you can use wet wipes or a shower before you use the butt plug. For those who want peace of mind, an anal douche or enema can fully cleanse the anal canal, although it is not mandatory and shouldn't be done too often.

Finally comes lubrication. Those who have experimented with other sex toys are familiar with the process – the more you lube it, the better it feels! Since the anus doesn’t self-lubricate like the vagina, lube is a must. While some people prefer saliva because they like to feel the tightness, beginners risk the appearance of micro skin tears, which, when subjected to the bacteria in the GI tract, can lead to severe infections.

It’s important to remember the material of your butt plug when pairing it with lube. Silicone-based lubes are the most slippery for the longest time, even when small amounts are used. However, if you’ve already chosen a silicone butt plug, it’s best to avoid it and switch to a water-based lube instead.

For first-time insertion, using plenty of lube all around the anus is recommended. In addition, you can opt for anal suppositories, most commonly those with CBD. They help relax your anus and increase circulation in the area, allowing for easier insertion and better sensations.

Get in a comfortable position

Simple enough, butt plugs are easy to insert with your backside exposed and your anus stretched. While most people want to have control and use it alone for the first time, sometimes having a partner insert it for you can ease up the process. For example, letting your partner insert the sex toy while you're doggy style or on your back with your knees pulled to the chest is simple and quick. For solo play, the squatting position is the best choice, as it opens and relaxes the anus and gives the user extra agility.

Whatever position you choose, keep in mind that a little discomfort is to be expected at first. Some people opt for numbing creams during this time; however, they can work against you because you won’t be able to tell when your anus has had enough. For safety reasons, it’s best to avoid them completely until you get more used to the sensation.

Take it nice and slow

Whatever the purpose and end goal of your butt plug use are, going at a slower pace to play with it is preferred. Forcing it inside can cause pain and discomfort, and if you haven’t chosen the right lube, it can even lead to injuries.

The rate of the butt plug insertion also plays a big role in your experience. For example, if you use one with a narrow tip and insert it improperly, you risk hitting a nerve or going in too deep. On the other hand, a tapered tip allows bigger control over the amount and pace of insertion, allowing you to take it in only as much as you feel comfortable with.

If you cannot insert the sex toy on the first try, don’t worry. Beginners who haven’t experienced having something in their booty and sitting with it for a longer time will need a moment to adjust to the object both physically and psychologically. You can try lubing a finger and rubbing the anus before inserting it to make things easier. After you fit one or two fingers, you will get a bit more used to the sensation and go over to the butt plug. Take as much time and as many tries as you need to adjust the process to your comfort level.

Show your butt plug some care & love

After you’re done using it, cleaning the butt plug is the last and maybe the most important part of the process. Whether you use it alone or share the sex toy with a partner, this should be done nonetheless. Keeping the butt plugs hygienic is fairly easy, and the cleaning largely depends on their material.

Nonporous butt plugs are the easiest to upkeep, as you can boil them or disinfect and sanitize them. There’s also the option to put them in the dishwasher, but only on the top rack and without other dishes. Of course, this excludes the butt plugs that have a motor in them, despite their material.

Silicone sex toys, in particular, can be washed with just soup and warm water to disinfect. It’s even easier to keep the butt plug clean if you put a condom over it while using it. However, this isn’t recommended if you plan to wear it longer.

Final thoughts

So what’s the takeaway here? If you’re a first-time user and want to achieve maximum pleasure, information and preparedness are key. Explore your intention to use a butt plug and decide what kind of pleasure you want. Reading up on the materials, designs, and features of different butt plugs is a must, and don’t be stingy with your wallet when choosing one. Whether you want to play solo or include a partner, hygiene and safety should be your number one priority.

And don’t forget to have fun! After all, the idea behind butt plugs is to explore your sexuality and enjoy anal play.
