How to Clean For Anal Without a Douche?

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
Anal sex and touching inside the anus is a turn-on for many, but it is also an activity many avoid because of shame and the fear of a possible mess. It is a sensitive topic for many, and the anal area is also sensitive. When it comes to touching inside the anus, the first thing many people think of is the mess that comes out, so here we’ll talk about how you can safely and cleanly go about anal play without having to do an anal douche. How to Prepare for Anal Play? Preparing for anal play is vital for your enjoyment, as it can help you calm your nerves and put you at ease. The first thing you must do is have a bowel movement – take a poop and wash well. Wash your anus from the outside and wash between the butt cheeks with soap and water, and wipe it dry. Basically, this is enough preparation for many, as you get a clean area to play with. Still, others find it lacking primarily because of the mental image of possible mess. That is why people sometimes go the extra mile and resort to doing anal douches or even complete enemas to clean the rectum and feel cleaner and better prepared for anal play. If you have a healthy digestive system, we don’t recommend you resort to a full enema, as this medical procedure can wreak havoc on your digestive system and prevent you from satisfactory anal play. Instead, you can do a short anal douche and do this with a water bottle. It helps you rinse the anus and rectum from the inside, which may put you in a better mood for anal play. Issues that Prevent Safe Anal Play An important thing regarding regular bowel movements is to have a healthy stomach and eat enough fiber, as fiber helps the body excrete waste, leaving a clean, healthy rectum. It also helps prevent constipation, as people with constipation can’t comfortably enjoy anal play. Try to increase exercise, as it can help with regular bowel movements. A problem that can occur with anal sex is when a person has hemorrhoids. These are expanded veins on the inner side of the rectum. While they are not an obstacle for anal play, they are painful to touch and could bleed if punctured. If there is anal bleeding, avoid anal sex so as not to irritate the area further. Are Anal Douches and Enemas Safe? Because some people have difficulty emptying their bowels, they resort to anal douches and even enemas. An enema requires putting warm water or a soapy liquid with medication deep inside the rectum and holding it in to clean the rectal area and force the bowels to empty faster. While performing an enema is safe, it is not recommended for daily use. The douche is a milder version of the enema, where the warm water rinses the rectum and makes you feel lighter and cleaner. After cleaning, wash the anus with warm water and rinse it well to be ready for anal play. We have covered this topic from other aspects in our gudes below, and we also carry all the necessary products for preparation and safe anal play in our sex toy store. ===COLLECTION=== Learn More With Our Anal Sex Toy Guides: How To Anal DoucheHow To Properly Stretch Your AnusHow To Use a Butt PlugHow To Use Anal ToysHow To Use Anal TrainersHow To Use an Inflatable Butt PlugHow To Use A Prostate MassagerHow To Use Aneros Prostate Massagers

How to Use a Hollow Butt Plug?

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
Hollow butt plugs are a novel item, and these can be very pleasurable when used correctly. Unlike regular butt plugs, hollow butt plugs open up more possibilities, but these require some more experience and keeping note of some important facts. Experienced users already know, so here we’ll discuss the use of hollow butt plugs from a novice’s perspective. What is a Hollow Butt Plug? The hollow butt plug has a basic spade shape but has a key element – a hollow tunnel running the length of the butt plug. Hollow butt plugs are created for users who want to explore the inner side of the anus. Also, with these plugs, you can train anal stretching as there is a tunnel in which you can insert fingers or toys. We must note that you must be careful not to harm the sensitive inner parts. Hollow butt plugs are perfect for users who love and understand the possibilities of anal sex. We must know that you need some training before you can use these to the full extent. You will feel the progressive, intense, and extraordinary sensations that these toys can bring into your bedroom. Using a Hollow Butt Plug Butt plugs are used to stimulate the anus, and it brings pleasurable sensations for many. If you are a virgin regarding anal stimulation, we have to remind you to relax and use plenty of suitable lube. After inserting a butt plug for the first time, you may initially feel uncomfortable as the sensations overwhelm your body. However, as you practice, you will get used to the sensations and the fantastic stimulations many speak of. We recommend you use a beginner-size butt plug or an anal training kit if you are a novice, as it will help you get a better anal experience. But after you gain enough experience, you can get into anal exploration and use an inflatable butt plug or a hollow butt plug. Using a hollow butt plug is the same as with any other type of butt plug – you need to add a generous amount of lube to the plug and your anus; relax and slowly push the plug in until it sits comfortably against your anus. Some hollow plugs are made from silicone and have a bit of softness; there are hollow plugs made from glass or metal. We favor silicone, as we believe it is the best butt plug material for beginners, as they are softer and more accessible to insert. Still, don’t forget to use a lot of water-based lube, as the anus is not self-lubricating. Glass butt plugs and metal hollow butt plugs are firm and very smooth, and these are compatible with all lubes. ===COLLECTION=== Glass and metal hollow butt plugs can be included with hot and cold play. The glass hollow butt plugs are an excellent addition for the ones who like to explore and watch as the muscles pulsate from the arousing. Shop All Butt Plugs ===COLLECTION=== How Long to Wear a Hollow Butt Plug? Some people enjoy wearing a plug for hours, even when they are fully clothed and walk into public. No one will notice that you wear it, but we don’t recommend you wear it too long; the prolonged period of wearing a plug can irritate the anus. The butt plug has an erotically charging effect, but we must note that you should not wear a hollow butt plug for prolonged times; avoid wearing a butt plug for more than 3 hours, as it may damage your rectum. The hollow butt plug, as with every other sex toy, needs proper cleaning after use, so clean yours and store it properly to be safe every time you use it. We recommend you wash your hollow butt plug with warm soapy water, treat it with a sex toy cleaner, dry it well, and store it in a suitable sex toy storage bag to keep it safe and protected. Also, follow our guides below, where we cover other essential topics on using various anal sex toys, and refer to our sex toy store, where you can find all sorts of exciting sex goodies.

Wearing a Butt Plug in Public: Guide and Tips

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
The anus is a sensual place that is full of nerve endings and can be a source of much pleasure, and the best way to engage these is to wear a butt plug. There are so many ways you can use a butt plug, but most people limit their use to private settings. Well, let’s talk about the excitement of wearing a butt plug in public and what it can do for your pleasure, while leaving the people around you blissfully unaware. Plus, the key things to know when planning to engage in public butt plug fun. What is a Butt Plug? A butt plug is most often a conical, teardrop, or spade-like sex toy that you insert in the butt for sexual pleasure. People may use it for anal pleasure or for preparing the body for anal sex, or simply because they enjoy it. It is because the anus is full of nerve endings that, when appropriately stimulated, it will provide a deeply satisfying experience. You can find butt plugs in all shapes and sizes, some smooth and some textured, and made from silicone, metal, glass, and other materials. No matter the butt plug you opt to use, there are some things to know when you decide to wear your butt plug in public. Shop All Butt Plugs ===COLLECTION=== Wearing a Butt Plug in Public We can list so many reasons why you should wear a butt plug in public, but for many, there needs to be no reason except that it is fun and makes you feel sexy. Well, that and it feels good, making for a really long and adequate foreplay. The thrill of wearing a sex toy in public is a powerful aphrodisiac, which is why we made a list of the best discreet sex toys for women to use in public. We’ll also make a list of the best anal toys to use in public, so here we’ll outline a few reasons why you should really consider wearing a butt plug when going out in public. The first reason we can list here is roleplay. Imagine being the sexy, obedient slave to your partner and obeying their every order, which coincidentally includes wearing a butt plug when you go out. Maybe you are sitting in a fancy restaurant and squirming under your partner’s gaze with the butt plug filling your behind. BDSM games may often involve butt plug play in public, especially a vibrating butt plug with a wireless remote controller. Another reason is prolonged foreplay, which means you will be aroused and kept on the edge of an orgasm for much longer than usual. Imagine walking and feeling the butt plug stimulating your anus and thrilling your senses. The last reason why you may choose to wear a butt plug in public is that it feels naughty and exciting. Maybe you are at the gym and are doing squats or running on the treadmill, or you are out running errands or shopping for groceries; these are all instances where more adventurous people choose to wear a butt plug without anyone around them knowing. [Image of anal canal anatomy] Choose the Correct Butt Plug to Use in Public Now, to the technical stuff – you need to choose the correct butt plug for public play. Not every model can be worn in public, especially larger models with oversized bases that take effort to put in or are designed for combined use. Instead, you should look for a butt plug that has a compact design and a snug fit. If you have a loose-fitting plug, you risk losing it while on the move. Conversely, a too-tight fit may become painful and uncomfortable when worn for longer. Well, you can wear any butt plug you want, but for the most comfortable use, you should pick a butt plug that has a streamlined shape and is of a size that you can comfortably take. The butt plug should fit securely in your butt without being obtrusive or noticeable. For that reason, we recommend you get a butt plug model with a flat base that will fit in between your butt cheeks and will not hinder you in sitting, standing, or moving. Make sure the plug you choose is not overly long and has a well-rounded tip that will not poke your innards and cause more harm than good. We have a complete butt plug selection guide where we cover all this and more. As a rule of thumb, stay away from inflatable butt plugs and large butt plugs and tail butt plugs, as these are unfit for public play. Well, unless it is your thing to wear a fox, bunny, or cat tail, or you are wearing a sexy costume that requires a tail. Even if you choose a super-comfy butt plug, we advise you to be careful when sitting on it too much, as it may become uncomfortable after a while. A good practice is to pop in your preferred butt plug at home and wear it for a few hours while doing things around the house. Try sitting on soft and hard surfaces and see how your body is faring, so you can at least know what to expect when you have your behind filled with your favorite butt plug. We recommend choosing a semi-flexible butt plug with a flat base made from silicone, as it is among the most comfortable models available. The size of the butt plug you opt for depends on your experience level, but we recommend you stick to smaller models for wearing in public. Lube, Lube, Lube Lube is your best friend when it comes to anal play, so make sure to stock up on lube that is compatible with the material of your butt plug. If you use a silicone butt plug, then remember to only use a water-based lube. For metal and glass butt plugs, you can use silicone-based lube, and we advise you to stay away from oil-based lubes as these aren’t compatible with silicone toys and will most definitely stain your clothes. Please don’t be stingy with the lube, and make sure you apply enough of it when you insert it. Be careful not to use too much, as it may cause the plug to slip out of your butt. Using the right amount of lube is critical, as it will make it more comfortable for you to wear the plug for longer and be comfortable during use. ===COLLECTION=== Additional Things for Public Butt Plug Use We covered the choice of butt plug and lube, but what else do you need for safe public butt plug play? It is supportive underwear that will help the plug stay in place. You can pick some boyshorts or panties that have a snug fit and will prevent anyone from noticing that you are hiding a secret. Guys who opt to wear a butt plug or a prostate massager in public should choose supportive boxers that will keep everything where it should be. You may have to be out in public for longer than you’ve planned, and may have to take out the plug when not at home. For this reason, we recommend you take a small bottle of lube with you and have a plastic bag handy, along with a small packet of sex toy cleaner. Lube can make it easier to pop out the plug when you start to feel like it is becoming too much. The sex toy cleaner or soap and plastic bag are self-explanatory, as you will need to wash and store the plug when you are done with it. Remember to Stay Safe We get it, it is sexy and enticing to wear a butt plug in public and experience the joy of anal pleasure without anyone around you being the wiser. However, when you start experiencing discomfort, find the nearest bathroom and take out the plug. Take a few minutes to let your body relax, and if you feel like you can take more, reapply some lube and place it back inside. If you think it’s getting too much, simply remove the plug, wash it, and slip it back in the bag. We must also remind you that if you feel you need to pee, then you must take the plug out, as it will mess up the sensations in your bladder. After you take care of business, you can slip the butt plug right back in. To Wrap Up That’s it for now; we hope we covered the basics of wearing a butt plug in public and you’ll find yourself inspired enough to give this sexy play a try.

How to Use Aneros Prostate Massagers: Techniques and Pro Tips

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
The great thing about the sex toy industry is that it doesn't play favorites. There are tons of toys for both men and women to enjoy, whether with a partner or solo. However, while women often freely discuss their pleasures, men cannot say the same. Prostate stimulation is one of the many taboo subjects. Most straight men avoid it out of fear of the unknown, while gay men usually keep the subject under wraps. However, given that prostate massages can lead to the most powerful orgasms a man can ever achieve, it should be all but ignored. Despite anal sex toys still being considered a novelty in almost every sex community, the sex toy industry doesn't have a shortage of anal stimulators. Many brands and manufacturers specialize in procuring effective anal prostate massagers; however, Aneros has proven to be a favorite among the male population. There are a plethora of Aneros prostate massagers to choose from for those who want to turn up the heat in the bedroom with their partner or want a change from dildos and butt plugs. The pleasure is guaranteed if you choose a manual massager for more extensive control or a vibrating one for expedient stimulation. Best of all, the Aneros prostate massagers are easy to handle, and with a bit of help from our guide, you'll be reaching prostate orgasms in no time. Keep reading for more tips and tricks on how to use them. Why should men stimulate their prostate? You'd certainly be right if you thought prostate stimulation could be used for pleasure. The prostate is to men what the clitoris is to women, wired with thousands of nerve endings that, with the proper stimulation, can bring you waves of pleasure. Located beneath the bladder and before the rectum, this little gland can be easily stimulated through the anus. Aneros prostate massagers are designed with male pleasure in mind, which means you can find different models to experiment with and enjoy. You can use them alone or spice up your sex life with a partner, and when done right, your Aneros prostate massagers will help you reach the big O. Men who've gotten a taste from prostate orgasms have rarely turned back from it. You can enjoy a prostate orgasm by itself through anal stimulation or go for a combo with prostate and penis stimulation and win the war on two fronts. However, orgasms are not the only argument for using Aneros prostate massagers. Many medical professionals have claimed that prostate stimulation can reduce the risk of infections. The prostate gland accumulates liquids, which are released once you achieve prostate orgasm, releasing any bacteria in the area. Additionally, prostate massages can increase the effectiveness of medication designed to treat prostatitis. Health benefits plus immersive satisfaction, now who can say no to that? Our top picks for Aneros prostate massagers ===COLLECTION=== How do aneros prostate massagers work? The main goal of Aneros prostate massagers is to stimulate your prostate gland by moving your muscles. Models for manual use let you control how deep and fast you want to massage the spot. On the other hand, vibrating models, such as the Aneros Vice 2, can do the job for you, allowing you to command the device through a remote-control device. The brand offers models designed to fit the male contour and ideally provide a pleasurable experience. While there are some differences between each Aneros prostate massager, the overall design of the shape is the same. Each Aneros prostate massager has three parts: the main body, front arm, and rear arm. The main body is the longest and most vital part of the sex toy. Its diameter can vary; however, its length is perfectly adapted to reach your prostate gland. The shaft can be smooth or ribbed and vibrate to provide the most intense stimulation. The efficient design also allows you to move through the rectum easily for added pleasure. The main body is the only internal part, while the front and rear arms are designed for external pleasure. The front arm is designed to press the spot between the testicles and the anus. This spot, called the perineum, can provide extra pressure to the prostate gland when adequately massaged. The so-called perineum tab is curved upward to reach the perineum. You can find Aneros models with a flexible p-tab that allows you more extensive control over the intensity of the massage. The rear arm is only included in some models, but many gentlemen prefer it. As opposed to the P-tab, this one is curved upward to push against your tailbone and add new sensations into the mix. In Aneros prostate massage manuals, you may also find it as the Kundalini Tab or K-tab. In terms of materials, there are also a lot of choices. Beginners and those who prefer a smoother experience usually choose Aneros prostate massager models with plastic cores coated with soft silicone. For example, men who like sturdy constructions for more intense stimulation can opt for the Aneros Progasm Ice Prostate Massager, made only from plastic. How to use Aneros prostate massagers? All the features we described above are specific to Aneros models, which brings the next important question - how to utilize the prostate massagers for maximum pleasure? No matter the model you choose, using the Aneros prostate massagers is easy to grasp, whether you'll be doing it alone or leaving it up to your partner. There are a few simple steps to follow to ensure a pleasurable experience that we'll discuss below. Up the Hygiene of Your Booty Anal play, no matter the goal, always requires extra hygiene to prevent bacteria or infections from catching on. Since prostate massagers are designed to reach the gland through the anal canal, it's only reasonable to take care of your rectum in advance. Additionally, who wants to think about poop while trying to reach an orgasm?The best way to clean the rectum of excess waste is to make sure you empty your bowel a few hours before sex play and shower. Additionally, you can wipe the rectum with wet tissues as an extra measure. Some people go the extra length and give anal douching a try. This involves inserting water into the anus for a more thorough cleaning. However, this may damage the rectum's lining and irritate the anal canal, causing extra pain and increasing the risk of infections once you insert the prostate massager. Turn the heat up As with any erotic engagement, foreplay is mandatory. Since we're talking about inserting a sex toy anally, it is no surprise that the process may be uncomfortable if you aren't in the right mood. Giving your body some time to get aroused will help relax your pelvic floor and anus. Then, you can insert the Aneros prostate massager, causing less friction in the anal canal and reducing the pain and discomfort, especially if it is your first time. Additionally, when you're feeling hot and turned on, your prostate gland accumulates fluid and expands. This makes it easier to find and reach the gland with the Aneros prostate massager and quickly proceed to the stimulation part. The right lube goes a long way If there's one principle you should never forget during anal play, it is the usage of lube. You can place the lube around your anus and on the sex toy. The anus isn't cable of lubricating itself; thus, you may need to use lube before and during anal play. The lube allows you to insert the Aneros prostate massager of your choice quickly and proceed to penetrate your anus with as little friction as possible. However, the type of lube you choose is of great importance and should be coordinated with the materials of your prostate massager. As a rule, water-based lubricants are the best choice since they can be paired with almost any material and are the easiest to clean up. If you've chosen a silicone-coated Aneros device, it's best to avoid silicone lube since it may deteriorate the sex toy over time. Some people opt for lubricated condoms over their Aneros prostate massagers. This is an excellent option for those who dread cleaning after and want to save time. ===COLLECTION=== Give your anus a massage Before jumping to your prostate gland, give your anus a proper, relaxing massage. You should practice this whether you're experienced with other anal sex toys or trying anal play for the first time. Use a finger to create circular emotions around the anus. Once comfortable, you can add one or two fingers inside and explore the penetrating stimulation. Time for you Aneros prostate massager Once you're in the right mood and all lubed up, it's time to insert the sex toy. First, you place the tip of the main body on your anus while ensuring the P-tab is facing the front of the body. Calmly inhale and push the Aneros prostate massager into your anus as you exhale. Note that you don't have to insert the sex toy in one deep breath, and you shouldn't be rough when pressing it inside. Instead, listen to your body and go at your own pace. Once the prostate massager is fully inserted, take some time to locate your prostate gland with the tip and position it correctly. Moreover, make sure the front tab is pressed on your perineum. Whether manual or remotely controlled, the sex toy can sometimes rotate or move during sex play. If you feel discomfort after some time or the power of the stimulation decreases, make sure to position it again in the right place. Best positions for using Aneros Positioning plays a significant role in the whole experience. The right portion can help your body relax better, ease the insertion, and even allow you to contain the Aneros prostate massager for prolonged periods. Men who've used Aneros models swear by a few positions. The first and simplest is lying on your back and pushing your knees toward your face. This is an excellent choice if you're using the prostate massager alone, and you can lay on either side to leave your dominant hand flexible. Laying on your side allows you to easily insert the massager with one hand while experiencing minimal strain on the anus. From here, you have the utmost control over the sex toy and can easily stimulate your prostate gland for an extended period. Lying on your back allows both of your limbs to be free, so you can stimulate the prostate gland with the Aneros massager while also masturbating. Remember to place pillows beneath your head and lower back, as this curves the body right, allowing your partner to easily slip the massager into your anus. If you want to enjoy the Aneros prostate massager with a partner, then lying on your stomach is the most relaxing option. You can keep the legs together or apart or even put them in the air, depending on your comfort level. Kneel on all four and fully expose your anus for doggy style. This will give extensive agility to your partner, and you can enjoy them penetrating from the back while also stimulating you in the front. Tips for using aneros solo Given its efficiency in providing powerful orgasms, it's hard to resist using Aneros prostate massagers alone once you've tried them. Apart from choosing the correct position, here are a few more tips to keep in mind for entertaining and pleasurable prostate stimulation. Take your time Those unfamiliar with anal sex may be tempted to rush the process and be eager to skip to the good part. However, this is highly undesirable and ill-advised. You want your rectum to be fully flexible and capable of taking in the Aneros prostate massager without damaging its lining and causing bleeding or infections. Your body should be relaxed, aroused, and ready for anal insertion. Taking your time also means ensuring your toy is clean and without defects. At last, taking it slow means giving your body time to adjust and adapt to the whole process. Forcefully inserting the toy and being too rough from the start with the movements will only cause you pain and undermine the entire experience. Relax and do your kegels From the pubic bone to the center of the perineum and reaching your tailbone lie the pubococcygeus or PC muscles. These muscles control the movements of the prostate massager and allow you to experience pleasure without manually directing the sex toy. Their strength also determines how much prostate gland stimulation you can experience and how fixated the toy will stay inside. For solo play, these muscles will decide how many hand movements you'll need to direct toward the toy in your anus and whether you can use them to stimulate other parts of your body. It is best to practice the popular Kegel exercises to strengthen the muscles. Squeeze and release the PC muscles for a few minutes daily to strengthen them and ensure longer-lasting sessions with your Aneros prostate massager. Tips for using Aneros during sex The Aneros prostate massager can significantly aid your sex life with a partner. If you're open to experimenting with different positions and sex acts, you can wear the massager while orally satisfying your partner or allowing them to give you a blow job. Those who've been practicing with Kegel exercises can also try penetrating their partner both vaginally or anally and ensure powerful orgasms. You can also add other sex toys in the mix to stimulate your partner or allow them to use different sex toys on you. Since these sex toys give more intense sensations and are inserted anally, many kinky couples include them in their BDSM plays. Using any Aneros prostate massager, your partner can control your arousal and withhold your orgasms as a form of exerting dominance and punishment. Related Article: Best Prostate Massagers Reviewed Final thoughts The sex toy industry is vast, and there are numerous toys for anal play. Still, Aneros is one of the few brands offering diverse designs and models for prostate massagers. From Aneros Helix Trident to Aneros Progasm Ice, users of all levels and experiences can find something they enjoy and feel comfortable with. Most of the models are made from plastic, but you can also choose from silicone-coated designs. Moreover, you can enjoy remotely controlled prostate massagers and minimize your engagement in the process, or opt for manual models for bigger control. Aneros prostate massagers can function great as individual pleasure devices or entice your sex life in the bedroom. Give it a try when you're in the mood for masturbating with intense prostate stimulation or if you're feeling kinky and want your partner to induce your most powerful prostate orgasm yet. Either way, engaging in anal sex and playing with your prostate gland guarantees pleasure, and Aneros prostate massagers will get you there faster and better. Choose the model you like and prepare yourself for a type of pleasure you have never known before!

How to Use a Glass Butt Plug?

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
Glass is among the safest options for sex toys, especially for anal sex toys. Yes, we are talking about the glass butt plug, a masterpiece of creativity and engineering blended into a sleek, sexy object that can be the source of immense pleasure. But do you know how to use a glass butt plug to get the full potential of this impressive sex toy? Luckily for you, you found our guide on how to use a glass butt plug, where we cover all the essential things to know on how to utilize your glass butt plug to the max. What Is a Glass Butt Plug? A glass butt plug is a butt plug made from glass and is heavier than a silicone butt plug. The glass butt plug has a spade-like shaped body, a narrow neck, and a broad base, but because it is made from borosilicate glass, it has a good heft to it, providing extra-pleasurable sensations. But one of the critical features of the glass butt plugs is that it can be heated or cooled, and you can use it for temperature play, creating even more sensational feelings. Shop All Glass Butt Plugs ===COLLECTION=== How to Use a Glass Butt Plug? Using a glass butt plug does not differ much from using a silicone butt plug, but there are some important considerations to note. First off, the glass butt plug is firm and unyielding, which makes it more effective in providing a sense of fullness. That said, here are the main steps to know on how to use a glass butt plug: Prepare your body – the things we recommend you do before engaging in anal play can be a bowel movement, a thorough shower, and an optional wax/shave. If you have concerns, you can get an anal douche and rinse your rectum, but this is not necessary to do anytime. Get comfy – before you stuff your backside with the glass butt plug, you should get comfortable. Do the things that relax and arouse you, as your body will be more welcoming to the intrusion of a glass butt plug. If you play alone, the squat position is one of the best poses to insert the glass butt plug with ease. Use lube – always use a generous amount of lube when using a glass butt plug. While you can use a water-based lube, the glass butt plugs are compatible with all lube types so that you can use a silicone-based lube or hybrid lube and even use a massage oil to smooth the entry and make the experience more comfortable. Slow insertion is key – never shove the butt plug inside, but push it slow and easy, allowing your body to get accustomed to the sensations and relax. Almost all glass butt plugs have very tapered tips to facilitate easy insertion and have flared bases for safe use. Try pushing out on the plug as you insert it, which will help you to easily place it inside. Enjoy the sensations – after you insert your glass butt plug, take a few moments to let your body relax and get used to the sensations. Once you are comfortable, partake in your desired sexual activities, but wear the glass butt plug for a limited time. Check out our guide on how long you can wear a butt plug for more info on this topic. Take it out and clean everything – when you finish playing with your glass butt plug, take it out slowly, adding some lube to facilitate the extraction. When you remove it, make sure you wash it thoroughly and sterilize it. You can use water and soap or a sex toy cleaner, but since you are using a glass butt plug, you can sterilize it in boiling water with some bleach or even wash it in the dishwasher. Then, store it in any way you want, but make sure you don’t drop it and damage the glass surface.  ===COLLECTION=== Glass Butt Plug Play Positions Apart from the squat position we mentioned, you can use a glass butt plug in many other ways and positions, like: Face down – the classic face-down pose allows you complete control over the insertion, positioning, and movement of your butt plug. Squat – as we said, this pose allows you to easily insert the glass butt plug and position it as you like, especially if you are a beginner. Doggy style – get on all fours, arch your back, and allow your partner to fill you up with a firm glass butt plug. On your back – this is a classic pose for a reason, as you are on your back and draw your legs towards the chest, giving your partner full access to your butt. Why Use a Glass Butt Plug? You can use a glass butt plug to enhance the overall sexual experience, but there are several other reasons why you would use a glass butt plug: Train your booty – you can use a glass butt plug to train your booty for larger insertions and, over time, train your body to take up a penis. We recommend you start with a small glass butt plug and slowly increase the size of the plugs. Experience multi-sensory sensations – using a glass butt plug provides a multi-sensory experience. Because of the properties of glass, the glass butt plug can be warmed up or cooled down to provide more intense sensations. Sexual adventures – using a glass butt plug allows you to explore the sexual dynamics between the partners and provide double penetration without you having to invite a third into your bed. Temperature play – the secret weapon of glass butt plugs is temperature play. Because glass retains heat more efficiently, this is perfect for heating or cooling sensations.

How To Use an Inflatable Butt Plug

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
If you are brave enough and wish to explore things further, we suggest you try using an inflatable butt plug, as this is a sex toy that provides a truly thrilling experience. It is a sex toy that is designed to expand once inserted inside, so you can test your limits and knowledge and try something new and completely unexpected. But these are also great options for inexperienced players, as you don’t need to use them inflated but use them to train your body to accept and enjoy anal toys. Here we share our guide on how to use an inflatable butt plug and have an enjoyable, safe experience. What Is an Inflatable Butt Plug? An inflatable butt plug is an anal plug that looks like a regular butt plug, but it comes with an inflation mechanism, allowing you to inflate it to a larger size once you insert it into your booty. Depending on the design, you can inflate the butt plug manually via a pump and a hose that is attached to the plug or get a high-tech model that comes with automatic inflation. Whatever model you choose, you are sure to experience unmatched anal pleasure. Shop All Inflatable Butt Plugs ===COLLECTION=== How to Use Your Inflatable Butt Plug Anal play enthusiasts know the immense pleasure one can reap when correctly stimulating the anus, and the inflatable butt plug is one of the most convenient and effective sex tools that will provide such pleasure. So, here we bring you the main points to know on how to use an inflatable butt plug: Prepare your body – before you try to insert something in your butt, you need to prepare your body. After having a bowel movement (poop), take a warm shower and gently and thoroughly wash your behind. Once you are clean, start to lightly tease and stretch your anus, preparing it for insertion. You can use your fingers or even use an anal trainer to relax and prepare your anus for the inflatable butt plug. Lube up – always use a generous amount of lube when engaging in anal play, as the anus is not self-lubricating. We always recommend you use a quality water-based lube, as this is the most suitable lube type that is compatible with all sex toy materials. Because most inflatable butt plugs are made from latex or silicone, you should never use silicone lube with them, so water-based lube is your safest choice. Insert and enjoy – after you become comfortable and are ready for anal play, slowly insert the butt plug into your booty. Once it is safely inside, you can wear it for a while as it is, so your body gets used to the sensations of having a foreign body inside your butt. Inflate and test your limit – when you become comfortable, you can start to inflate the butt plug. Slowly squeeze the inflation bulb and feel the sensations as the plug increases in size inside you. Once you reach the perfect level of fullness, you are comfortable with it, and you can indulge in other sexy activities and enjoy the delightful sensations that the inflatable butt plug provides. Deflate and remove – once you have enough, gently deflate the plug using the deflation mechanism. Open up the quick-release valve on a manual inflation plug to release the air, or use the deflation button on an automatic inflation plug. Once the plug returns to its original size, slowly remove it from your booty; use some lube around the anal rim to help remove the plug. Relax and clean up – take some time for your body to relax and enjoy the sensations from your playtime, and then don’t forget to clean up. Take a warm water shower to help your butt relax, and don’t forget to thoroughly wash your inflatable butt plug. You can find the instructions in our guide to cleaning anal toys. ===COLLECTION=== Tips for Safe Use of Your Inflatable Butt Plug We already covered the options that an inflatable butt plug brings to your playtime, so here are some of the key tips we found to be very effective when you add an inflatable butt plug to your sexy repertoire: Share your fantasies – openly talk to your partner about the things that excite you and what you would like to try. If you want to try an inflatable butt plug, tell them and take the plunge together. The same goes if you wish to explore some aspects of BDSM or another power play game that involves anal play. Set the stage – take all the steps that ensure you and your partner both have a pleasurable experience. Create an immersive environment and use all the props and sexy costumes that can help you bring your fantasies to life. Engage in aftercare – always take the time for aftercare, as anal play can take people to a dark place, so a gentle return to reality is a great way to ease down from the intensity of the sensations. A warm embrace, a comforting blanket, and words of reassurance can really help and be the perfect conclusion to a highly sensitive playtime. Safety Tips for Inflatable Butt Plug Use When using inflatable butt plugs or any other anal sex toy, always prioritize safety. While these delightful toys do offer incredible sensations, please approach them with caution and awareness. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind: Stop if you feel pain – if at any time you start to feel pain, don’t ignore it but deflate the butt plug and take some time to relax your body. If the pain and discomfort stops, you can continue using it, but if the pain persists, you should stop, remove the plug, and take a break for a couple of days before you try again. Never over-inflate the plug – you may become overzealous and try to quickly inflate the plug to its maximum capacity, but please resist this urge, as you can cause actual harm. Instead, find the balance between pleasure and safety, but start slowly and find the perfect level of inflation that will bring all the pleasure and none of the pain. Use a safe word/signal – any time you are using a new sex toy with your partner, and you need to have a safe word or signal to indicate to your partner that you are reaching your limit and need a break. Such action makes things safer for both partners and can make things more comfortable in the long run. Inflatable Butt Plugs Vs. Regular Plugs Inflatable butt plugs offer a feature that regular butt plugs can’t match. Unlike static butt plugs, the inflatable butt plugs are pliable and provide a customizable level of fullness to suit your every desire. For people just getting started in the world of pleasure, the progressive sizing option is a fantastic option, as it allows users to take their time and explore their limits with ease. If you are a person who knows what anal play entails and can use the sensations and fullness, as well as the option to customize the sensations will find these indispensable. You have the choice of manual or automatic inflation methods. Just squeeze the pump to inflate the plug and stop when you find the perfect level of comfort for your booty. Types of Inflatable Butt Plugs Before we let you go to enjoy some anal play, here we share a list of the different inflatable butt plugs you can find in our store: Silicone inflatable plugs – made from body-safe silicone, these may look like regular plugs, but these can inflate, usually to twice their size, to stretch your butt. Rubber inflatable plugs – rubber is pretty stretchy and is an excellent option for making inflatable butt plugs, as it can be shaped in different shapes and holds its shape well even at full inflation. Beaded inflatable plugs – these don’t look like regular butt plugs but remind more like anal beads, which allows them to reach deeper and provide more sensations. Automatic inflatable plugs – these are high-tech inflatable butt plugs that also come with vibrations and wireless remotes to control the inflation/deflation and the vibrations. Large inflatable plugs – these are usually made from vinyl and come in massive sizes, some with more than 10-inch diameters that are only for very experienced users who crave highly intense sensations. Final Thoughts We hope that we covered all the bases in our guide on how to use an inflatable butt plug.

How to Use an Anal Vibrator and Expand Your Sexual Horizons

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
Anal sex has been present and practiced by couples for years, and it is now something more people are comfortable exploring. Whether in a couple or solo, anal play is frequently viewed as a highly desirable activity by both women and men. Anal sex can be fun and safe if you act according to your comfort level and have the right lube. But to truly spice up your life and prepare for the wonders of anal play, you’ll need a suitable anal toy. So, here we provide you with a detailed guide on how to use an anal vibrator. Also, we’ll cover a lot more, like how to choose the best anal vibrators and how to incorporate them into your sexy time. What is an Anal Vibrator? Anal vibrators are vibrators designed for anal play. Typically, anal vibrators are much smaller since the sphincter muscle is tight, and you wouldn’t want to force something through it. They always feature a flared base, allowing you to hold it by it or ensure it stays in place if you leave it in your bum for longer. Anal vibrators have a vibrating mechanism, which can be battery or power operated. Some anal vibrators have USB cords for recharging, allowing you to take your sex buddy everywhere. Modern anal vibrators have different modes and vibrating patterns, some even offering you to create customized pulsations. You can operate them either by buttons on the base of the vibrator or by a remote controller. Shop All Anal Vibrators ===COLLECTION=== How to Use Anal Vibrator Anal play is one of those sexy activities that take some time to get used to. If you’ve never played with anal toys, it’s best to start with a simple anal plug or an anal trainer to give your anus time to stretch and get used to the new sensations. However, if you’re ready to move on to anal penetration with a vibrating sex toy, there are a few steps you must follow. Discuss Consent If it’s your first time trying an anal vibrator with your partner, you’ll want to discuss it beforehand. Whether you want them to watch, participate, or even totally submit the anal vibrator into your partner’s hands, it’s best to agree upon what goes and what doesn’t before you enter the bedroom. You can also establish some safe words and ground rules on how you should both behave. Start Clean The first rule of anal play is to start with a clean booty. It’s best to empty your bowels beforehand and avoid messy accidents later. You can shower or use a cleaning solution to remove fecal remains from your anus using appropriate anal douche. We also have a detailed guide on how to prepare for anal sex and clean your bum. Prepare the Mood Anal play is an intimate act, whether solo or with a partner. Make your environment as relaxing and calm as possible. You can light candles, put on music, or even dress up in your favorite lingerie for the occasion; anything that will put you in the mood is welcome. Relax Your Anus Simply thinking about something going up your but can make your anus instantly freeze up. Instead of being tense about it, relax your sphincter before even using the anal vibrator. You can do this by slowly massaging the muscle and maxing circles around it with your index finger. You can add some quality water-based lube to make everything smoother. You can also start playing with other body parts, such as your nipples or clit, to get in the mood. Initiating anal play becomes easier when you’re turned on and crave stimulation. Start Slow and Listen to Your Body Once you feel comfortable with the massage, you or your partner can insert a finger into your anus. Slowly build up to two or more fingers as your anus gets more relaxed and easier to stretch. You can choose a small butt plug and wear it for a while to increase the flexibility of your anus. Bring on the Lube Once ready to insert the anal vibrator, you must also reach for the lube. It’s best to put some lube on your anus and a larger quantity on the anal vibrator. Ensure the lube you’ve used is compatible with the sex toy and won’t cause unnecessary discomfort or make you susceptible to infections. Generally, it’s best to select water-based lubricants since they pair well with all sex toy materials and are easy on the skin. ===COLLECTION=== Insert Your Anal Vibrator While it sounds like an easy job, this process can take a while. Some people take multiple tries, days, or weeks to reach this stage. After you lube up your anal vibrator, you can set it on low vibrations and drag it around your anus. The pulsations will provide a pleasant massage, allowing the muscles to relax even more. If your partner controls the device, tell them to start pushing it in a few millimeters at a time. You can dictate the pace and determine how deep the anal vibrator goes. Once it’s in, allow it to sit for a while before moving on to penetrations. Pleasure is guaranteed if you don’t forcefully push it in and use enough lube! You can increase the thrusting speed and engage the vibrations as things heat up. Aftercare & Cleaning Anal sex, whether with a natural penis or anal vibrator, can sometimes cause minor skin tears and cause bleeding. It’s recommended to shower after sex and rinse the area as gently and as much as possible, but make sure you use a neutral soap and warm (not hot) water. Then, wash your vibrator. You can use warm water, a specialized toy cleaning solution, or antibacterial soap to rinse it. You can also check the sex toy’s label to determine whether you can fully or partially submerge it into water. Once clean, leave the anal vibrator to air dry and store it in a toy storage bag to keep it safe from lint and direct sunlight. Types of Anal Vibrators You can select between several possibilities when it comes to anal vibrators: butt plugs, anal vibrators, anal beads, and vibrating anal dildos. However, most people usually go for the basic butt plug because this one has a straightforwrd use. Next, you cqan select from a list of anal vibrators. These come in various shapes and sizes, as you get to choose differnent shapes and sizes, including vibrating butt plugs and vibrating anal beads that are optimized for intense pleasure and comfortable use. We need to also mention the vibrating prostate massagers, vibrating anal probes and vibrating anal dildos, as these not only vibrate, but are also intended for targeted anal stimulation. Choosing The Right Anal Vibrator For You While anal vibratos can be super fun, they are powered devices that must be handled carefully for your safety and pleasure. We have a full guide on how to select anal vibrators, so here we will only list the basics you need to consider: Material: As a first-timer, it is best to choose non-porous materials since they are much easier to clean and feel more natural. Additionally, the anus has thousands of nerve endings, meaning it is extra sensitive, and you’ll want to play with something softer and flexible. When in doubt, opt for a silicone anal vibrator! Size & Girth: Many beginners overestimate their abilities and reach for bigger-sized toys, only to discover their anus isn’t stretched enough to fit their vibrator. Even if you have played with other toys, such as anal plugs or anal beads, remember that anal vibrators are more stimulating, and the vibrations themselves can be too much to handle, even after you fit the toy inside you. Vibrations: We advise choosing anal vibrators with the most diverse modes and patterns to ensure you can enjoy the toy for a long time without getting bored. Extra Features: We advise you to look for an anal vibrator that is waterproof, as it will significantly facilitate things. Also, if you are looking for a unisex or male-friendly anal vibe, look for one with a vibrating base to stimulate the perineum. Budget: First, determine your budget and then look for the highest-quality toy that fits your budget. Look for a silicone or a metal anal vibe that is USB-rechargeable. Who Can Use an Anal Vibrator? Although it is typically marketed as a sex toy for women, anyone can use an anal vibrator if they’re healthy and follow the proper steps. Additionally, there are multiple ways for both couples and singles to enjoy such a sex toy. You can entice your solo nights and allow anal vibrators to enhance your experience as a stand-alone sex toy or in combination with other sex toys. Lay on your back, squat, or doggy style are just some positions allowing you to insert the anal vibrator easily. You can combine it with a bullet vibrator or clit sucker for double intensity. For couples, the horizons are even broader. Whether you’re a straight or lesbian couple, you can make your anal vibrator part of your double penetration fantasies. For example, your partner can penetrate your vagina while thrusting the anal vibrator into your booty. The easiest choice would be for your partner to wear a harness designed for double penetration: one for his penis and one for the anal vibrator. If you opt for an anal vibrator with a harness, pegging is also an option. You can choose a P-spot anal vibrator with a perineum massager attached and help him reach powerful prostate orgasms. Last but not least, anal vibrators are often part of anal training among D/s couples. If you enjoy role-playing or teasing your partner, you can tie them up and let the games begin. Of course, consent and safe words should be established despite the relationship dynamics. Final Thoughts Whether a beginner or anal play veteran, anal vibrators are great sex toys to add to your collection. Whatever type of anal vibrator you choose, remember to pair it with a compatible lube and take it slow. Prioritize discussing this with your partner and choose an anal vibrator that meets your needs and expectations. It’s important to remember that anal play isn’t scary! The sphincter muscle is very adaptable, and you can take your time to stretch your anus and prepare it for an anal vibrator. Stick to our recommendations, take it slow, and soon enough, you’ll reach the most intensive orgasms of your life! Make sure you check out our sex toy store, where we have a complete offer of anal toys, including butt plugs, prostate toys, and anal training kits, as well as a massive selection of vibrators, dildos, male toys, BDSM tools, and so much more.

How to Clean Anal Toys

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
All sex toys need proper cleaning, but anal toys need special care and attention because, you know, they go up your butt. The anal area is full of nerve endings that, when properly stimulated, can drive a person mad with arousal and pleasure. But, it is also a place where bacteria are present, and any toy that is used for anal pleasure needs diligence when cleaning. Our experts have prepared the following guide on how to clean anal sex toys, and we’ll discuss all the essential things to know that will help you have pristine toys and healthy sex life. Before You Clean Your Anal Toys You need to know the materials used and the construction of the anal sex toys so you will know what is the safest, most effective way to clean them. The first thing you need to know is whether your anal toy is waterproof or not. You can confirm this feature on the manufacturers’ instructions, or you can read the detailed product descriptions we have listed in our sex toy store. It is important to know if the anal sex toy is waterproof or not, as each needs a different approach for cleaning and using it. Basically, you get three types of toys regarding waterproofing: Waterproof – this ranking means your anal sex toy can be safely submerged in water without any risk of damaging the interior workings. You may also see the IPX7 rating, which refers to a fully waterproof, submersible toy. Splashproof – if your anal sex toy is rated as splashproof, it means you can quickly rinse it under running water, but you can’t use it in an aquatic environment like a bath or shower. Another term that is often used for splashproof is water-resistant or IPX5 rating. Non-waterproof – this is self-explanatory, meaning your sex toy is not waterproof and should not be brought into contact with water. Shop All Anal Sex Toys ===COLLECTION=== The next thing you need to know is the exact material your sex toy is made from. We are, of course, talking about silicone, TPE/TPR, glass, metal, jelly, or PVC, as these are common materials used for making adult toys. Each has different properties, and that also pertains to the way you can clean them. If you have a toy that is made from non-porous materials and has no inner mechanism, like a non-vibrating glass butt plug or a metal anal toy, you can wash it with soap and water. You can also go a step further and boil the non-vibrating glass, metal, or silicone toys in water for deep cleaning and ensure you have a super-clean, sterile, scent-free toy to play with. For toys that are waterproof and non-porous but have internal mechanisms, you need to be more careful, as too hot water may damage the interior components. You should wash these with soap and water and spray them with an antibacterial sex toy cleaner. Also, you can rinse them with a 5% bleach solution and then water them to properly disinfect the surfaces. When washing anal toys made from porous materials like butt plugs and dildos made from TPE/TPR or jelly, you need to be extra diligent and wash everything with antibacterial spray and rinse with soap and water. However, because of the nature of the porous materials (the tiny surface pores), we recommend you use these anal toys with a condom on them to prevent lube and residue from penetrating the pores and damaging the surface. How to Clean Anal Toys Now that we explained waterproof rating and materials let’s discuss how to actually clean your anal sex toys: Soap & Water Soap and water are the best options for most sex toys, and that includes porous and non-porous waterproof and splashproof anal toys. Always use a mild, unscented soap and create a nice lather, rubbing your anal toy all over, either with your hands or using a washcloth to wipe the entire toy. Next, rinse it with warm water and leave it to air-dry, or pat it down with a lint-free towel. Don’t use a brush or a scrubber, as this may scrape and damage the toy’s surface, which can become a breeding ground for bacteria. Sex Toy Cleaners If you don’t like soap, you can use a specialized sex toy cleaner that can be a spray, foam, gel, or wipe. Please note that this works for all materials, including waterproof and splashproof toys. You should spray the toy with a liberal amount of sex toy cleaner, leave it for the specified amount of time (as stated on the label), and then rinse it with warm water. Then, leave the toy to air-dry or pat it with a lint-free towel. If your sex toy is not waterproof, then you can spray the business end with a sex toy cleaner and carefully wipe it with an antibacterial wipe, or use only the antibacterial wipe to clean away any residue. Shop Sex Toy Cleaners ===COLLECTION=== Boil & Sterilize Sex Toys Boiling is an excellent way to deep-clean sex toys, but this only works on non-motorized glass, metal, and silicone sex toys. Before you boil an anal sex toy, you need to wipe it or wash it to remove all residue, and then you can lower it in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes. Have tongs handy, as the toy will be very hot, and you need to leave it to cool down and air dry. For more info, please check out our complete guide on how to boil sex toys. Wash in Dishwasher Washing your anal sex toys in the dishwasher is a viable option only for glass, metal, and silicone sex toys. Don’t place motorized sex toys in the dishwasher, as the heat and pressure will surely damage them. For this method, rinse your toys, put them on the upper dishwasher rack without any other dishes inside, and use a fast cycle without any detergent or rinse agents, as the toys need only a few minutes to be cleaned, and the warm water will do the trick. Removing Smell from Anal Toys Sometimes, you may notice some of your anal toys like anal beads have a distinct smell to them, which may be due to improper cleaning, or the material itself. If this is the case, you must do a deep cleaning of your toy. As we noted above, you can take soap and some water, create a lather that you apply to your waterproof sex toy, and leave it on for a few hours, letting it dissolve the smelly components. Afterward, rinse it with warm water and leave it to dry; the smell should be gone. If your porous anal sex toys become smelly, we recommend you stop using them, as this means harmful bacteria and fungi have invaded the pores. Sometimes, you can use a mild bleach solution to remove the smell, but the best option is to put a condom on the sex toy before inserting it in your bum. We also advise you to practice anal douching as a way to cleanse your rectum from bacteria and residue so that you can have a more enjoyable anal play experience. Make sure you clean your anal sex toys before and after every use. If you use specialized sex toy storage bags, you can give them a quick wipe down with an antibacterial wipe before you use these, but always wash them with soap and water after use, especially if you share these with multiple partners. Also, have condoms handy for the times you want to experiment and wish to protect your health and your sex toys. We hope we have covered the basics of cleaning anal sex toys, and we invite you to browse our blog for more knowledge and check out our sex toy store, where we have all you may need for better sex.

How to Prepare for Pegging

How to Prepare for Pegging

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
Let’s talk about pegging, the sexy activity where a male partner’s anus is penetrated with fingers or a strap-on dildo. The main focus is to hit the prostate or P-spot that is located in the anus, which is full of nerve endings, and when stimulated, it brings so much pleasure to the man. We’ll focus on the more important things related to pegging: how to prepare for pegging and all the things you need to think about before you embark on this sexy activity that is more potent than anything you and your partner have ever tried before. How to Bring Up Pegging? Pegging is an activity for which you need your partner’s full cooperation, and it is something you need to be open about. We advise you to have open communication with your partner and have their consent. We understand that this is not something you can simply throw out there over coffee. We recommend you start by introducing the idea and discuss why you are interested in pegging, but note that you should talk about this in a neutral location and not in the bedroom or during other sexual plays. Talk with your partner and explain what draws you to the act. Ask if they are willing to explore things further; if they agree, then you need to continue with the talk and discuss things like the fears, doubts, and boundaries you both may have. Maybe read this and explore online educational options together with your partner, as this can help you both relax about the topic and even learn more about it. Get Adequate Toys You can try pegging with fingers or with toys, and it is often that people start with just the fingers. However, if you want to do this right and reap the full benefits, you need to get a proper harness, a pegging dildo, and suitable lube. You can get a strap-on harness separately and choose an appropriate pegging dildo, or you can get a complete strap-on pegging kit, whatever fits your fancy. We advise you to get a small pegging dildo, as the anus is a tight place that needs time to adjust to the stretching sensation, and a smaller dildo here can do a great deal. Lube is also a must, as the anus is not self-lubricating. You must match the lube to the material of the pegging dildo you plan to use, so we recommend you get a thick water-based lube that is great with all sex toy materials. Shop Pegging Dildos ===COLLECTION=== Prep Yourself After you and your partner agree on things, it is time to prepare for pegging. Because it is an act you do in the anus, you need to clean your anus before you try anything. Before you start anything else, you should have a bowel movement and wash everything carefully. If you are uncertain, you can do an anal douche to make sure you rinse any potential fecal residue that may stick to the toys you use. If you do an anal douche, you should do this a couple of hours before you start playing. It is advisable to stay away from foods that may irritate your digestive system. This tells you that pegging can’t be a spontaneous activity, as it requires some prep time, so you can both be more comfortable when things are clean. If you are worried about any potential mess, we advise you to use condoms over the pegging toys and use gloves to protect your hands. ===COLLECTION=== Get Over the Psych Barrier and Enjoy It is a common question for a straight man to question pegging, as many consider it an activity that happens between homosexual men. However, this can’t be further from the truth, as pegging is an act usually done between a man and a woman, and it involves power play and is not at all related to homosexuality. We advise you to relax and explore your bodies, and engage in some anal massage and anal fingering, teasing the muscles around the anus. Once you are in the mood, you can start with insertion; a single lubed-up finger should be enough, and then you can continue with the pegging dildo. Listen to your body and talk to your partner, and continue slowly and do the things that please you. Breathe through the experience, relax your body, and absorb the pleasure. Explore the experience more, try different positions, and enjoy. After you are done, continue communicating with your partner. Always remain open and clear with your partner, and always check in with them to see what worked for them and what didn’t work. Discuss what you’d like to try in the future and what you won’t be open to trying again. We have a lot more helpful guides on pegging and choosing and using different pegging sex toys, which you can find in our blog. We also invite you to check out our sex toy store, where we have a fantastic selection of sex toys for pegging, male sex toys, dildos, vibrators, BDSM tools, lingerie, and a lot more.

First thing first, don’t be afraid to play with your anus and don’t shy away from exploring the treasures you can discover when engaging in anal play. Prepare mentally first, and if you have decided to do this, then you are ready. Make sure you have everything handy before you start playing, and follow this step-by-step on how to safely train your anus with an anal trainer: Clean up before playtime The anus is, you know, the place where poop comes out, so you should be comfortable with this before engaging in any type of anal play. Even if some poop makes an appearance during playtime, you should know it is OK, as it means your body is functioning properly. To best prepare for anal play, you should poop and take a shower, cleaning the anus well. If you want to go the extra step, then you can make an at-home anal douche and rinse the rectum. If you opt for this step, do it about 30 minutes before playtime to give your body time to relax and adjust. Warm Up and Ease In with Fingers Engage in foreplay if you play with a partner or even when you play alone. Engaging in relaxing, sexy activities will prepare your body for more comfortable play. The point is to not be self-conscious about anal play and to give your body time to relax, as when you are sufficiently relaxed, any anal teasing will be more comfortable, and your body will be less inclined to twitch when the anus is touched. Any sensation will be more pleasurable when you are aroused and will feel better, as the anus tends to relax the more aroused you get. Start the teasing with your fingers and test if your body is ready for insertion. Lube Up and Go Slow When you feel you are ready, you need to add a fair amount of lube – when we say fair, we mean a lot of lube. Since the anus is not self-lubricating like the vagina, it needs a lot of lube for things to glide easily. Whether you are using your fingers or are starting directly with an anal trainer toy, lube is your best friend. Rub the lube around the entrance and try to add some in the anus itself, and make sure you coat the entire anal trainer with compatible lube. You can’t go wrong with a larger amount of lube, as it will make things more comfortable both on insertion and when you take out the anal trainer. Start slowly inserting the lubed-up anal trainer – gently press the toy against the anus and push out, and you’ll feel a gentle stretching of the sphincter muscles as the toy makes its way inside. Your body will slowly stretch and open up to receive the anal toy, and you’ll feel a gentle pressure and intense feeling. You will feel as the anus stretches, and as the anal trainer settles inside, you should feel a pretty intense feeling of fullness. Let your body adjust to the sensation before you try to do anything else. The intense stretching feeling should ease after a few moments, allowing you to become comfortable. Don’t worry if you can’t get the entire anal trainer inside on your first try. It may be overwhelming at first, but hey, you can take it as a challenge and enjoy every try. Once the anal trainer is in, you can go about your business while letting it stretch your anus. We advise you to wear it for about 10 minutes at a time and then take it out. You can also play with the anal trainer, like wiggling it around or pulling and pushing it, making small thrusts. It will help you relax and get used to the sensation. You can experiment with different movements to find out what works best for you. If you are using a soft, flexible anal trainer, you can sit down with it to experience the full sensations. You need to use the smallest anal trainer if you are just starting, and after a while, you can move on to the larger model until you gain enough confidence and level of experience. Anal Trainer Models As we outlined above, anal play requires preparation, and the best way to do this is to use an anal trainer set. Here are the anal trainer models that you are likely to encounter: Anal training sets – these are specifically designed toys you can use to train the anus and gradually stretch it and get it used to insert thicker toys. Small butt plugs – the small butt plugs can be an excellent starter toy, and you can use it to ease into anal play to train your anus. The shape and small size are great for non-threatening anal play and gradual stretching of your back door. Anal beads – the anal beads can also be perfect anal training toys that you can use to experiment with. Just select a model with a small bead size, and you’ll have a great toy to train your or your partner’s body. Anal stretchers – these are very good for preparing your body for anal sex. The anal stretchers gradually stretch the anus and allow you to prepare for larger insertions. [Image of anal canal anatomy] Anal Play Safety Tips We have an in-depth guide on how to stretch your anus and another guide on how to use butt plugs, and we invite you to read these and more from our blog to gain more knowledge on anal play. So, here we will only list the main safety tips we feel you must know so you can safely engage in anal training: Use extra lube – always use extra lube when engaging in anal play. Also, make sure the lube you use is compatible with the material of your anal training toys. Use water-based lube with silicone toys and use silicone-based lube with glass and metal anal toys. We recommend you avoid using lubes with numbing agents, as these can cause more harm than good. Slow & easy – going slow is important, especially when you are trying to insert a foreign object into your booty. Also, don’t try to shove large objects, but only use gradually tapered anal trainers that will open the gates to anal pleasure. Breathe - taking deep breaths is important when you engage in anal play, as when you take deep breaths, your anus relaxes and allows you to more easily insert the butt plug, anal trainer, or even prostate toy. Don’t force it – always take things slowly, and don’t force anything. Forcing things can cause you to tear the soft anal tissues and cause health problems. Your body will tell you when it is time to push for more. Clean before and after play – always start with clean anal toys and wash everything after use. Besides cleaning your body, the anal trainers you use deserve a thorough cleanse. Use soap and warm water or sex toy cleaners to wash them, and occasionally, use a mild bleach solution to disinfect everything. ===COLLECTION=== Final Words If you feel ready to engage in anal play, choosing anal trainers and sticking to our step-by-step guide above is the most practical option to ensure the process goes smoothly. It’s important to remember that anal play shouldn’t hurt, and with enough practice, it can be the source of the most intensive orgasms of your life. So, follow our guide, and make sure you check out our sex toy store, where we have a complete offer of anal toys, including butt plugs, prostate toys, and anal training kits, as well as a massive selection of vibrators, dildos, male toys, BDSM tools, and so much more.

How Long to Wear a Butt Plug?

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
Let’s talk about butt plugs – more specifically, how long you can safely wear a butt plug. We’ll outline the particulars of anal toy safety, and we’ll also cover essential aspects of using a butt plug. Generally speaking, you should not put things up the butt, but man, oh man, it is such a pleasurable, sensual thing to do. We can agree that it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but wearing a butt plug can indeed unlock hidden pleasures and new heights of pleasure. So, read on to learn how long you can safely wear a butt plug to experience all the good and none of the bad. What Is a Butt Plug? A butt plug is usually a conical-shaped object that is designed for sexual pleasure, and it is inserted in the anus. It sits on the anal sphincter, providing a feeling of stretching and pressure, making you feel full and aroused, as the anus is filled with thousands of nerve endings that, when properly stimulated, provide immense pleasure. Shop All Butt Plugs ===COLLECTION=== How Long Should You Wear a Butt Plug? How long you can safely wear a butt plug depends on several important factors, but overall, you can wear it for about 1 to 2 hours without any problems. But one of the most critical factors about safely wearing a butt plug is your experience level and the size of the butt plug you use. Regarding your experience level with butt plugs, here are some important aspects: Beginners should wear a butt plug for a shorter time, usually for about 30 minutes. Beginners may not be used to the sensations the butt plug provides. It is why, if you are a novice, you should limit your butt plug-wearing sessions, at least until you gain some experience and learn how to control your body. Intermediate users can wear a butt plug for longer, as they already know what to expect regarding anal play. For most intermediate-level users, it translates to wearing a butt plug for up to one hour at a time. Experienced users can wear a butt plug a lot longer, as their bodies are used to the sensations and know how to control their reactions. It translates to experienced users being able to wear a butt plug for two hours or more. The key thing when wearing a butt plug is to listen to your body and be aware of the sensations. If you start to feel discomfort or pain, then stop and remove the butt plug, as pain is always an indicator that something is not right. Butt Plug Use Considerations Now that you know how long you can wear a butt plug, let’s outline some considerations related to butt plug use. We have covered this topic at length in our blog, where we discuss how to choose a butt plug, how to measure butt plugs, and even how to use a butt plug. So, here are the main things to note when using a butt plug: Always choose an adequate size butt plug – we advise you to start with a smaller butt plug and slowly work your way to a larger model. Beginners should start by using anal trainers and then choose a butt plug size that they can comfortably manage. Always choose a butt plug made from body-safe materials – we favor silicone, glass, and metal, as these are non-porous, smooth, and body-safe materials that are phthalate-free and easy to clean. Always choose a butt plug with a flared base – the flared base of your butt plug is crucial as it prevents over-insertion and allows you to wear it for longer with ease. Always choose a suitable lube – lube is a must when you engage in anal play. The anus is not self-lubricating, so we advise you to use a quality water-based lube with your silicone sex toys and use silicone-based lube with your glass and metal anal toys. Always pay attention to hygiene – clean your body and your butt plug before and after every use to prevent bodily harm. Take a shower and do an anal douche if you want to feel extra clean; wash your but plug with soap and warm water or sex toy cleaner to ensure it is clean. ===COLLECTION=== Butt Plug Safety Tips Now that we covered the basic considerations for using a butt plug, here are some vital tips on butt plug safety: Stop if you feel pain – if you start to feel pain or discomfort when playing with a butt plug, stop immediately and take a break. If the pain persists, then remove the plug and engage in other activities. If the pain eases, you can continue with your playtime. Avoid numbing creams and lubes – we strongly advise against using numbing creams or lubes with numbing agents, as these can mask the pain and discomfort and cause more problems than pleasure. Don’t use a butt plug if you have hemorrhoids or anal fissures. Be cautious when you engage in anal play with any health problems, and consult with your doctor before, just to be on the safe side. Engage in aftercare – anal play can make people feel vulnerable, which is why we advise you to always partake in aftercare with your partner. The emotional and physical comfort can mean a lot and will complete the experience. The Bottom Line Using a butt plug is exciting; as long as you use a butt plug size, you can safely manage and wear it for as long as it feels comfortable. We covered the basics above, and we want to invite you to browse our blog, where we have a lot more helpful guides. Please check out our sex toy store, where you will find an impressive array of anal toys, vibrators, dildos, male toys, BDSM tools, and all the essentials to enjoy better sex.

How to Choose Anal Toys?

Anal play is not something new, but today we have an abundance of anal toys with advanced features that are so pleasurable to use. Here, our experts provide a detailed guide to anal toys, covering all you need to know about anal toys and what specific toys you can use to achieve anal stimulation. We will also discuss different anal sex toy varieties and materials, and we’ll share expert-supported tips on how to use the different anal toys for heightened pleasure. What Are Anal Sex Toys? Anal sex toys are a group of adult toys designed to be used for anal play. These include butt plugs, anal beads, prostate massagers, anal dildos, and other exciting toys that you can use in your backdoor. Each of these comes in simple and sophisticated variants, with models having very advanced features that provide highly satisfying sensations. Shop All Anal Sex Toys ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose Anal Sex Toys? Choosing anal sex toys is straightforward if you know what you want and need. Before making a choice, consider the intended use, your experience level, and the expected sensations. Please note that the more honest you are in answering these questions, the better choice you will make when selecting an anal toy for you or your partner. Always select an anal toy made from body-safe materials that are compatible with your experience level, and make sure you get compatible lube. Beginners should stick to beginner-friendly toys like anal trainers or small butt plugs that are easier and more comfortable to use. Don’t rush for a larger size toy right from the start, but enjoy and savor smaller toys to get your body accustomed to the sensations. Intermediate users can try bigger toys and experiment with large butt plugs, anal dildos, and prostate massagers, as well as with vibrating plugs, as they already know what to expect and how they will react to the sensations. Experienced users can go beyond with anal toys and try large butt plugs, weighted butt plugs, inflatable butt plugs, anal stretchers, and hollow butt plugs that provide more sensations. Anal Sex Toy Materials There are sex toys made from a wide variety of materials, but when it comes to anal sex toys, we prefer and advise you to pick body-safe materials that are comfortable to use and easy to clean and keep sterile. But it is expected to find anal sex toys made from: Silicone – the best material for anal sex toys because silicone is hypoallergenic, flexible, odorless, non-porous, and body-safe. It is easy to wash and keep clean, and non-motorized silicone toys can be boiled or washed in a dishwasher to ensure proper cleaning and sterilization. Please note that silicone anal toys are only compatible with water-based lubes. Glass – often used for sex toy manufacturing, glass is hypoallergenic, body-safe, odorless, non-flexible, and non-porous. Glass anal toys are a popular choice, as these are compatible with all lube types and are effortless to clean and sterilize. Metal – stainless steel and aluminum are top choices for sex toy manufacturing, as these are hypoallergenic, body-safe, non-flexible, and non-porous. Metal sex toys are firm and deliver targeted sensations, which you can’t achieve with other materials other than glass. Metal anal toys are a popular choice because they are effortless to wash and sterilize, and these work with all lube types. TPE/TPR – these are thermoplastic elastomer blends that are used for producing lifelike sex toys. While they look and feel like the real thing, TPE/TPR sex toys are porous and are challenging to clean, which is why we advise you to stay away from TPE/TPR anal toys. If you do get one of these, you can safely use it with a condom on to prevent contamination and facilitate cleaning. Types of Anal Toys As we noted, anal toys come in a great variety, which we believe you will find pleasurable to use. Here we share an overview of all the types of anal toys you can find in our sex toy store: Anal Beads Anal beads are a series of balls or beads that are strung in line on a cord and usually have increasing sizes, from small to large. One end has a loop by which you pull on the beads to pull them out of the anus, which provides varying stimulations on the muscles. The primary purpose of anal beads is to draw them out of the anus during an orgasm, which heightens the sensations and amplifies the orgasm. Shop Anal Beads ===COLLECTION=== Butt Plugs The butt plug has a conical shape, with a tapered tip, wide body, a slim neck and a flared base. The body of the plug is inserted in the anus, with the neck sitting on the anal sphincter, and the flared base sits on the outside, preventing the plug from getting lost up there. Shop Butt Plugs ===COLLECTION=== Prostate Massagers The prostate massagers are specific anal toys that are designed for prostate owners, as these toys feature specific shapes that reach and stimulate the prostate. You can get a manual or a vibrating prostate massager and use it to stimulate the prostate for sexual pleasure or health reasons, as milking the prostate helps improve male sexual health. [Image of male reproductive system] Shop Prostate Massagers ===COLLECTION=== Anal Dildos The anal dildos are dildos specifically designed for anal use, especially for men, and these are usually slimmer and have a broad base or a handle, and may have a realistic or non-realistic shape. The best ones are made from body-safe materials like silicone, glass, and metal, but there are plenty of other materials used to make anal dildos. Shop Anal Dildos ===COLLECTION=== Benefits of Using Anal Toys Anal play is a very sensual form of sexual play, and you can experience more profound pleasure, which is not possible with other forms of sexual play. Because of the many nerve endings in the anus, when you stimulate these with the appropriate anal toy, you are in for a world of pleasure. Here are the key benefits of using anal toys: Stronger orgasms – anal toys provide internal pressure that stimulates the genitalia. In women, using anal toys like butt plugs provide a feeling of fullness, adding pressure on the vagina and the anterior fornix and helping with stimulation of the G-spot. It also helps that the vaginal walls are stimulated from both sides, which leads to more powerful orgasms. Prostate stimulation – in males, using anal toys is excellent as it stimulates the prostate, the walnut-sized gland that is about three inches on the front wall of the rectum. Utilizing a prostate massager, a male anal dildo, or a butt plug can really stimulate the P-spot and cause a whole-body orgasm that you can’t achieve with any other type of stimulation. Power play – using anal toys is a common theme in BDSM plays, as these are very apt for power play exchanges. Using anal toys requires a great deal of trust between partners, making these suited for BDSM scenarios where discipline and power plays are needed. Preparation for anal sex – using anal toys will train the anus for something more extensive, like a penis. Using an anal training kit will make the insertion of anal toys easier, which will prepare the muscles to be more comfortable and relaxed for anal sex. The Bottom Line We hope our guide on how to choose anal toys is helpful, and we’ve touched on all the basics about using and choosing anal toys. We have a lot more guides on various topics related to using and choosing various sex toys, so make sure you check out our blog. We invite you to browse our sex toy store, where we carry an impressive array of anal sex toys, dildos, vibrators, male toys, BDSM tools, and much more.

How to Choose a Butt Plug?

When looking for some toys for anal play, the first and obvious choice is the butt plug. The butt or anal plugs are the perfect selection for beginners and people with limited experience in anal play, but these are also a go-to for experienced users. Here our experts will share a comprehensive buyer’s guide on how to choose a butt plug that you’ll be pleased to use. What is a Butt Plug? A butt plug is a conical or spade-like-shaped sex toy that you slide in the butt, and its purpose is sexual pleasure. You can use it for anal masturbation or in preparation for anal sex, as the anus is filled with nerve endings that the butt plug stimulates and excites, providing a deeply satisfying experience. Anal plugs today come in various shapes, sizes, textures, and materials; the general shape is a blunt tip, a wide body, a narrow neck, and a flared base. Let’s see how you can choose a butt plug for you. Shop All Butt Plugs ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose a Butt Plug? When you decide to purchase a butt plug, you need to know what to look for. Safety comes first, so always choose a butt plug or any other sex toy made from body-safe materials like silicone, glass, or stainless steel. But please take note of the other key aspects of choosing a butt plug: Design – the design of the butt plug is important for pleasurable use, and you need to select a model that suits you. There are models with a tapered or blunt tip; butt plugs with a broad or narrow body, smooth or textured butt plugs, and butt plugs with wide, round bases or models with T-shaped bases. For absolute beginners in anal play, we recommend you look into anal training kits that come as sets of plugs with progressively increasing sizes and have a streamlined design for easy use. Material – we always recommend buying butt plugs that are made from body-safe materials like silicone, glass, or metal. We suggest you avoid butt plugs made from porous materials like TPE/TPR or jelly, as these are porous materials and are challenging to clean. If you do get a TPE butt plug, you can use it with a condom for safety and easy cleanup. Size – the size of the butt plug impacts how you can use it, and you can go from a beginner-friendly small butt plug to a large butt plug model that is for experienced users. We list all the dimensions in our product descriptions, so make sure you check the size of the butt plug before making a purchase. The tip – the tip of the butt plug is vital for easy insertion, and you can get a model with a pointed tip that is easy to insert, or you can get one with a rounder tip that initially stretches the anus but provides a smoother experience. Features – regarding extra features, we are thinking about vibrations, jeweled bases, inflatable models, and more features that enhance the user experience. Types of Butt Plugs The choice of butt plugs is vast and versatile, and you can get different models that you can use on various occasions. You will find the following butt plug types: Silicone butt plugs – these are made from silicone and have a streamlined shape that allows pleasurable use and body-safe experience. Jeweled butt plugs – these are butt plugs that feature jewels on the base, effectively jazzing up your look. The jewels on the base are usually made from ABS plastic, but you can find models with semi-precious stones and even lighted models. Tail butt plugs – these models include a butt plug on which a tail attaches. The tail can be a bunny, a fox tail, a cat tail, or some other animal tail that can help you realize your animal fetish. Inflatable butt plugs – these butt plugs are perfect for experimenting, as they are inflatable, and you can inflate them to a larger size that will stretch your limits. Vibrating butt plugs – these vibrate and add an extra dimension to your anal play. Wear them as simple butt plugs to relax and stretch your bum and engage the vibrations when you are in the mood to boost your pleasure. Glass butt plugs – these are perhaps the safest butt plugs you can use, as they are made from glass which is non-porous, effortless to clean, and works with all lube types. Benefits of Using Butt Plugs Using a butt plug in your sexy games is quite fun and beneficial. Here we list the main benefits you will reap when you decide to add a butt plug to your bedroom activities: Enhanced pleasure – butt plugs enhance pleasure during solo or partnered sexual play, as these stimulate the sensitive nerve endings in the anus and provide pleasurable pressure to the entire experience. Anal training – you can use a butt plug to train the anus for anal sex. For this, you need to gradually increase the size of the butt plug over time, which will make anal sex more comfortable, allowing you to receive your partner’s penis with ease, as you’ve already prepared the anus for insertion. Prostate stimulation – men can use butt plugs to stimulate the prostate, which is also referred to as the P-spot or male G-spot. This can lead to powerful orgasms, as the P-spot is a part of the male reproductive system, and when stimulated, it can cause whole-body orgasms. Role Play – you can use different butt plugs as props when you engage in role-playing games, like satisfying your animal fetish or during pet play. Tips for Safe Butt Plug Use Here, our sex experts share some tips for safe butt plug play that you should keep in mind, and we always suggest you focus on your safety and your pleasure when using a butt plug or any other sex toy: Use a compatible lube – you must use water-based lube with a silicone butt plug, but you can use silicone-based lube with a glass or metal butt plug. Start with a clean toy – wash your anal toys before and after every use, and we recommend you use an antibacterial sex toy cleaner to disinfect your butt plugs and sterilize them occasionally. After washing, store these in a sex toy storage bag to keep them clean and protected. Go slow – start slowly and work your way up, and never shove the butt plug inside forcefully. Listen to your body and enjoy the sensations of slowly stretching your anus and sitting the butt plug inside. ===COLLECTION=== Butt plugs are safe and are exciting to use, so we hope our guide to choosing a butt plug is helpful.

How to Choose a Vibrating Butt Plug

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
The butt plug is essential for safe and exciting anal play, but what about adding vibrations to the mix? Yes, we are talking about vibrating butt plugs that not only provide a delicious stretch to your anal muscles and stimulate the abundant nerve endings there but these also provide vibrations, which enhance the experience and extend the pleasure further. Here our experts discuss the basics of how to choose a vibrating butt plug and the benefits of using such a wondrous anal toy. What is a Vibrating Butt Plug? A vibrating butt plug is almost the same in shape and size as a regular butt plug, with the exception that it vibrates. These usually come in a conical or spade-like shape with a narrow tip, broad body, and narrow neck that is easy to insert and remove. Still, the addition of the vibrations makes the entire user experience more comfortable, as the vibrations, especially on low hum, help relax the sphincter and enhance the experience. These are usually made from high-quality materials that are body-safe, effortless to use, and clean. Shop Vibrating Butt Plugs ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose a Vibrating Butt Plug? Choosing a vibrating butt plug is fun, but you must know what you are looking for. The main thing you need to consider is your experience level, as you need to get a beginner-friendly model if you are starting out with anal toys. The choice of material is also crucial, as you want a model made from body-safe materials that are easy to use. So, here is our expert guide on how to choose a vibrating butt plug: Design – the design of your vibrating butt plug is the main thing to consider, as you should get a vibrating butt plug with a smooth, narrow body that is easy to insert. You can get a larger, textured model if you have experience using butt plugs, as the texture helps trap lube and can enhance the sensations. Material – we recommend you only buy vibrating butt plugs made from body-safe materials like silicone, glass or metal. However, silicone is the trusty choice, as it is body-safe, non-porous, and comfortable to use, and it is compatible only with water-based lubes. Length & Diameter – the size of the vibrating butt plug you select is crucial for safe and comfy use.

Types of Vibrating Butt Plugs The vibrating butt plugs, which some also refer to as anal vibrators, come in an excellent selection of models, where besides the basic vibrating features, you can also choose between other options, including textures, materials, and models with extra features, like the following: Silicone Vibrating Butt Plugs – these are models made from silicone that are body-safe, smooth, non-porous, and effortless to use.

The metal butt plugs are heavier than other models, are more suited for experienced users, and are compatible with all lubes. Glass Vibrating Butt Plugs – glass is a good option for butt plugs, but not so much for vibrating butt plugs, and you’ll find very few vibrating models made from glass. Still, these are body-safe, non-porous, and are compatible with all lubes. Textured Vibrating Butt Plugs – these are vibrating butt plugs usually made from silicone that have textured grooves on the surface that add to the sensations, tease the nerve endings in the anus, and even trap lube for more comfortable use.

Here we list the benefits that you can expect when you add a vibrating butt plug to your sexy activities: Enhanced pleasure – butt plug play is satisfactory, but the added vibrations really enhance the sensations and the pleasure. You can use your butt plug as a manual toy and engage the vibrations when you need something extra, which is always an excellent option to have.

Tips to Safely Use a Vibrating Butt Plug If you are careful when you use your vibrating butt plug, the risk is practically nonexistent. Still, you need to be mindful of your safety and heed our advice on safe vibrating butt plug use: Prepare for anal play – before you start with anal toys, you need to prepare your body for anal, which includes having a bowel movement and then washing your bum with soap and water. Some people even prefer to make an anal douche to rinse the inside of the anus for a cleaner feel. Use compatible lube – lube is necessary for anal play, as the anus is not self-lubricating. Thus, you must use a water-based lube with a silicone vibrating butt plug, and you can use a silicone-based lube with a glass or metal butt plug. Charge the vibrating butt plug - make sure the butt plug is fully charged before playtime, and check to see if the remote has power. This way, you can safely engage in your sexy playtime without worrying that the vibrations will die out on you during use. Learn the controls - before you start playing, learn the controls of your vibrating butt plug, and make sure you scroll through all the settings, so you will know what to expect. Press all the buttons on the remote or the control panel on the butt plug and see what each one does, so you don’t ruin your fun by pressing the wrong button during use. Start with a clean vibrating butt plug – always wash your vibrating butt plug before and after every use, as it goes up the butt, which harbors bacteria. We suggest you wash your vibrating butt plugs with antibacterial soap or rinse with sex toy cleaner and warm water, and sterilize them occasionally with a 5% bleach solution or UV sanitizer. Start slow – always start slowly inserting the vibrating butt plug up the anus, and add a good amount of lube. Don’t force the butt plug instantly inside, but slowly push the butt plug against the anus until you feel it relaxing and letting the butt plug inside. Listen to your body, and only after the butt plug is safely seated in your bum should you engage the vibrations, and always start with the lowest setting, working your way up. ===COLLECTION=== The vibrating butt plugs add a new dimension to anal play, and we hope our guide to choosing a vibrating butt plug is helpful.
