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.

How to Use Anal Trainers: Guide to Anal Training

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
The anus is filled with nerve endings, and when properly stimulated, this area turns into a massive erogenous zone that can make your toes curl and cause you to experience some of the most massive orgasms of your life. That goes for both men and women, but you need to know how to properly train your anus to relax, expand and allow pleasurable anal play. The best tool for this job is to use an anal trainer that is designed to slowly and gradually train your anus. It is also why at HotCherry, we prepared the following guide on how to use anal trainers and how to reach the level of safe and comfortable anal play. What Are Anal Trainers? Anal trainers are sex toys specially designed for training the anus to expand safely and comfortably. These are shaped like butt plugs, anal beads, and anal dilators and come in progressively increasing sizes. The idea is to start with the smallest size and gradually work your way up until you can take the largest size safely or have your anus prepared for a penis, a dildo, or another anal toy. Now that you know what anal trainers are, let’s continue discussing how to use anal trainers to train your body. Shop All Anal Training Kits ===COLLECTION=== How to Use an Anal Trainer? 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.

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?

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
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. We recommend don’t be overzealous to go for the largest models, as things are relatively tight back there, and even a smaller vibrating butt plug can bring mighty sensations. Vibrations – the vibrating butt plugs vibrate (obviously), and you can use them in manual and vibrating modes. Look at the product descriptions we provide to learn of the different vibrations and other functionalities your chosen vibrating butt plug comes with, like a remote controller, app connectivity, and other features. Additional Features – regarding features, since we are discussing vibrating butt plugs, under extra features, we can consider the rotations on the neck of the butt plug, an inflatable option, and even a suction cup base. 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 silicone vibrating butt plugs are perfect for many, as the material is very comfortable and heats up to body temperature in moments. Metal Vibrating Butt Plugs – these are made from metal, usually stainless steel, that is smooth, body-safe, and cool to the touch. 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. Benefits of Using Vibrating Butt Plugs When done correctly, anal play is exciting and intensely pleasurable, but when you add in the vibrations, things really go up a notch. 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. Anal training – you can train your anus for anal sex with the use of correct butt plugs, and the vibrations can really help relax the anus and train it for insertion or something larger than a butt plug, like a penis. Prostate stimulation – guys benefit significantly from using a vibrating butt plug, as it is perfect for stimulating the prostate or P-spot. Guys can either use a vibrating butt plug, a butt plug for men or can get a specific prostate massager that is ergonomically designed for targeted P-spot stimulation. 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. Please check out our blog, where you’ll find a myriad of other helpful guides on choosing and using sex toys.

How to Choose an Inflatable Butt Plug

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
Butt plugs are a favorite among anal sex enthusiasts, and these provide a profoundly pleasurable and exciting experience. But what about the people who need something more than the regular butt plug can deliver? In that case, we recommend you give inflatable butt plugs a try, as these are regular-sized toys that you can use as-is, but they inflate when you need the extra stretch to push your limits. Our experts outline all the things you need to know about how to choose an inflatable butt plug and the key things about satisfactory use. What Is an Inflatable Butt Plug? The inflatable butt plug is a butt plug that can be inflated to a bigger size to provide a more extensive stretch. When not inflated, it looks like a regular butt plug that you can insert and enjoy. But, depending on the design, it can inflate manually via a pump and a hose that is attached to the butt plug, or use the automatic inflation option if you have a high-tech model. In any case, the inflatable butt plug will test your limits and provide you with a next-level anal playtime. Shop Inflatable Butt Plugs ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose an Inflatable Butt Plug? When you select an inflatable butt plug, you need to be aware of several things that will enable you to have an enjoyable, safe experience. Before you buy your new inflatable butt plug, you should consider your experience and focus on models made from body-safe materials: Design – the inflatable butt plugs come in a straightforward spade-like design, but some exotic models are shaped as beads, a penis, or have a more ergonomic shape aimed at targeted P-spot stimulation. Inflation type – basically, you can get an inflatable butt plug that you manually inflate or get a model that has automatic inflation. If you get a model that inflates manually, you can fine-tune the size you want, but you have to manually inflate it. The automatically inflated butt plugs usually don’t allow fine-tuning of the size but are more comfortable to use. Deflation type – the inflatable butt plugs need to have quick-release valves for safe use, as these allow you to quickly deflate the plug should something go wrong or you need to remove it. The manually inflatable butt plugs have a quick-release valve that quickly deflates the toy, while the automatically inflating butt plugs have a deflation button that does the same thing. Size – you need to be aware of the size of the inflatable butt plug and know the non-inflated size and the inflated size. It will help you determine whether you can safely use the toy and how much it will stretch your boundaries (and your back door). We always list all relevant information about our products, including the sizes that are not inflated and those that are inflated. Material – the best choice for inflatable butt plugs is silicone, as this is a body-safe, non-porous material that is perfect for anal use. But you can also find excellent inflatable butt plugs made from rubber and are safe for anal use, although they require more diligent cleaning. Extra features – under extra features, we consider remote controllers, vibrations, vibrating or suction cup bases, and other features users may enjoy. Benefits of Using an Inflatable Butt Plug Using a butt plug in your sexy games is quite fun, but an inflatable butt plug is on a whole new level of anal play. Enhanced stimuli – the inflatable butt plugs can be used in two ways – in the size they are for regular anal teasing and the inflated size that will stretch your limits and provide an intensely pleasurable sensation. Anal training & gaping – the butt plug is excellent for anal training and introduction to anal sex. Still, the inflatable butt plug is even more helpful for hard-core anal training and anal gaping. Prostate stimulation – the butt plugs target the prostate in men, which is known as the P-spot, which can induce powerful orgasms, and the inflatable plugs provide an even deeper, more intense stimulation. Tips for Safe Inflatable Butt Plug Use You need to approach inflatable butt plugs with care, as these can be very pleasurable but also very dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing. So, here are some essential tips to help you use an inflatable butt plug safely: Start with a clean toy – always clean your inflatable butt plug before and after use. Wash it with antibacterial sex toy cleaner and warm water, pat it dry, and it will be ready to use. Tend to only use inflatable butt plugs that are non-porous and easy to clean to ensure you have a safe toy to play with. Always use lube – the anus does not self-lubricate, so you need a lot of lube so you can safely use the inflatable butt plug. We recommend you use a quality water-based lube, as this is compatible with all sex toy materials. If you have an inflatable butt plug made from latex, you can use a silicone-based lube, which is long-lasting and doesn’t dry out, but please note that these are not compatible with silicone toys. Start slow – if you are using a butt plug for the first time, it is perfectly natural to feel some reluctance, so start slow and easy when you first insert the inflatable butt plug. After you gain some experience, you can start playing around with the inflatable feature. Start slowly, with only one press of the pump, to see how you like the sensations, and never be too zealous to fully inflate the butt plug on the first try. Go slowly and enjoy the sensations, and stop if something feels off. ===COLLECTION=== We hope that this guide on how to choose an inflatable butt plug covers all the basics.

How to Choose a Large Butt Plug

by Kate Miller on Dec 18 2025
Butt plugs provide anal stimulation, but the large butt plugs test the limit of your body by stretching the anus and providing a sense of over-fullness that many find pleasing. Much larger in length and diameter than regular butt plugs, the large butt plugs are also suited for people wanting to experience anal gaping and people who enjoy stretching their limits. Our experts discuss all you need to know on how to choose a large butt plug, and we also discuss a few tips on how to safely use a large butt plug so you can reap all the pleasure and none of the pain. What Is a Large Butt Plug? A large butt plug has the same shape and design as a regular butt plug, but it differs in its size. Generally, any butt plug that is over 3 inches in insertable length and 1.6 inches in diameter is considered a large butt plug. The large butt plugs are made from quality materials and come in all the regular shapes as regular-sized butt plugs, but you need to have previous experience using anal toys to be able to safely insert and wear a large butt plug. Shop Large Butt Plugs ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose a Large Butt Plug? Selecting a large butt plug is almost the same as selecting any type of anal toy, as the key things are a body-safe material and size you can safely manage. Still, we list all the important things to note when you are shopping for a large butt plug: Experience level – to safely take a large butt plug up your backdoor, you need to have previous experience with butt plugs, so we suggest you start playing with an anal training kit that starts with small anal toys and has models in progressively larger sizes, to get your anus used to the stretching sensations. Design – large butt plugs come in a straightforward spade-like design, with some models having a slightly elongated shape that allows easy insertion and comfortable wear. Size – we are talking about large butt plugs, so you need to be aware of their size. A general rule considers butt plugs that are over 3.5 inches long and more than 1.7 inches wide to be on the large side, and anything over this size is definitely a large butt plug. Material – the best sex toy material is silicone, as this is a body-safe, non-porous material that is effortless to clean. However, there are many well-made models made from TPE, rubber, glass, and even metal that you can use and clean with ease. Extra features – here, we list large butt plugs with vibrations, models with manual “vibrations,” weighted butt plugs, models with suction cups, and similar features. Benefits of Using a Large Butt Plug Using a butt plug adds a sense of forbidden pleasure to your sexual pleasure, as we often have a preconceived notion we are doing something we should not do. The key to pleasurable anal play is to relax and let go of the pleasure you are about to receive and not be afraid to enjoy yourself. So, here are the key benefits you’ll get when you add a large butt plug to your sexy games: Enhanced anal stimulation – the large butt plugs provide more intense sensations than regular butt pugs and even inflatable butt plugs. It is because these are larger in length and diameter and offer a constant push against the sensitive tissues in the anal region. Anal training & anal gaping – the large butt plug is the next level in your anal training, as its extensive body will train the anus for more comfortable anal sex. It is also suited for people who want to try more hardcore anal plays like anal gaping. Tips to Safely Use a Large Butt Plug Before you can place a large butt plug up your anus, you must first start with smaller toys like anal trainers, anal beads, and regular butt plugs, as the large butt plugs are large. Here are some essential tips to help you safely start playing with a large butt plug: Wash your large butt plug – always clean your butt plugs before and after use. Rinse it with soap and warm water before you use it, and after you are finished, give it a good scrub down with antibacterial soap and warm water. If you are using a silicone toy, you can dip it in a mild bleach solution to ensure it is spotless and bacteria-free. Always use lube – the anus does not self-lubricate, so lube is mandatory when you use any anal toy. We recommend you use a quality water-based lube with your silicone butt plugs, and you can use a silicone-based lube with your large butt plugs made from glass, metal, or latex. Start slow & listen to your body – never rush when it comes to anal play, but take a deep breath and slowly insert the large butt plug in the anus. It is advisable to have a bowel movement before any type of anal play, so take your time to poop, and if you feel like it, do an anal douche to clean the anus. Lube the large butt plug and your back door and get in the most comfortable position for you and push in slowly. Your body will give some resistance, so don’t force things, but try relaxing with some foreplay and never force things but listen to your body. ===COLLECTION=== Our guide on how to choose a large butt plug covers the basics, but we also have a lot more information and guides on choosing and using other sex toys in our blog.

Here, we’ll discuss more in-depth about silicone butt plugs, including how to choose a silicone butt plug, how to clean one, and how to safely use it. Before we continue, we need to mention that we are fans of all types of silicone sex toys. What Is a Silicone Butt Plug? The silicone butt plugs are butt plugs made entirely or coated in silicone, and these provide a more comfortable and body-safe experience. Silicone is non-porous, semi-flexible, and durable, and it does not release any harmful chemicals, so that you can use it in your sensitive areas. Also, silicone is effortless to clean, and you can wash your silicone butt plug with soap and water or with a sex toy cleaner. But you can also sterilize a silicone butt plug with a bleach solution; you can boil the non-motorized silicone butt plug but also wash it in the dishwasher. Shop Silicone Butt Plugs ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose a Silicone Butt Plug? When you are after a quality silicone butt plug, you need to be aware of several things that will ensure you’ll get a butt plug you can safely use for years. As you have the material choice already settled, you should pay attention to: Your experience level – we are putting this first, as we believe you need to base your butt plug choice on your experience, as beginners should pick smaller butt plugs or an anal training kit that they can use safely and enjoyably. Intermediate users can transition to intermediate-size butt plugs, while highly experienced people can go for large silicone butt plugs that provide intense pleasure. Design – you can select silicone butt plugs that have a slim, elongated shape, a teardrop shape or you can get models that have a spade-like shape, or you can get a model with bulbs or some other exciting yet ergonomic shape. The shape of your silicone butt plug plays a vital role in how you can use it and the sensations it provides. Size – the size of your silicone butt plug is another thing you must think about because beginners should buy smaller anal toys, while experienced users can get a large butt plug. As a general rule, any butt plug that has over 3.5 inches of insertable length and more than 1.7 inches at the widest part is considered a large butt plug. Additional features – you can find silicone butt plugs with jeweled bases, inflatable butt plugs, vibrating butt plugs coated in silicone, models with suction cups, textured models, and other features.

Vibrating silicone butt plugs – these are silicone butt plugs that feature a vibrating mechanism that provides a new level of anal play. Benefits of Using a Silicone Butt Plug Using a silicone butt plug is one of the most exciting toys for anal play, as you have a toy made from body-safe material that can be intense and pleasurable to use: Enhanced anal pleasure – the silicone butt plug can provide you with stimulating sensations as it stretches and stimulates the thousands of nerve endings in the anus, which many people find highly pleasurable. Train your anus for more – the silicone butt plug is an excellent choice for training your anus for more, like a bigger butt plug, or to prepare your body for anal sex. You can gradually increase the size of the silicone butt plug you use over time to stretch your anus and prepare for your partner’s penis. Safe use – silicone is body-safe and very durable, as it does not release any substances, nor does it lose its characteristics over time. It is non-porous, which means it will not absorb smells, and it is effortless to clean and keep pristine. Silicone is only compatible with water-based lubes, so make sure you stock up on a quality water-based lube. Tips to Safely Use a Silicone Butt Plug The important thing when using a silicone butt plug is to get a model that is fit for your experience level. Also, make sure you have a bowel movement before you start anal play, and you can also do an anal douche to rinse and clean your rectum and more efficiently and comfortably embark on your anal play. We always suggest you focus on your safety and your pleasure when using a silicone butt plug, and keep note of these tips: Use compatible lube – you must use water-based lube with your silicone butt plug, as silicone-based and oil can deteriorate the silicone surface. Clean your silicone butt plug – cleaning your silicone butt plug is effortless, as silicone is non-porous, and most often, silicone butt plugs are waterproof and can be washed with soap and water or sex toy cleaner. You can also sterilize your non-vibrating silicone butt plugs in boiling water or run it on a quick cycle in the dishwasher. Make sure you store your silicone butt plugs in safe sex toy storage bags, away from other silicone materials. Slow and easy insertion – always start slow and easy, and never force your silicone butt plug into the anus. Listen to your body, stop and relax if necessary, and enjoy the sensations of slowly stretching your anus and placing your silicone butt plug inside. ===COLLECTION=== Our guide on how to choose a silicone butt plug covers the basics, but we also have a lot more information and guides on choosing and using other sex toys in our blog.
