How Much Is a Butt Plug?

by Kate Miller on Jan 22 2026

I’m interested in trying anal sex, and my partner suggested using butt plugs first, so I’m curious about how it will feel. How does a butt plug feel?

Answer

Butt plugs are an exciting sex toy that many people use, as the butthole is full of sensitive nerve endings that can be pleasurable to stimulate. If you are a complete novice to anal play and using butt plugs, you should start things slowly. Start with a smaller, beginner-size butt plug to get used to the feeling, and wear it for a short time, about 10-20 minutes. After that, you can extend the time to one hour to relax, stretch your anal muscles, and prepare for backdoor action.

Please note that the anus is not self-lubricating, so you need to add plenty of lube and relax before you start putting a butt plug in. It is an excellent idea to anal douche , and rinse everything out, to be on the safe side.

Once you get some experience using a butt plug and get used to the feeling, you can wear a butt plug for about 2-3 hours, provided you are comfortable with it. And yes, you can wear a butt plug in public.

Still, some experienced users can wear a butt plug for 10-12 hours without harm. These experienced people know how to listen and recognize the body’s signals and can safely wear a butt plug for extended periods.

You can wear a butt plug for as long as you are comfortable. You should take it out if you feel uncomfortable or it starts to hurt. It is not recommended to sleep with a butt plug.
