How to Use Butt Plugs - Safe Usage Tips

A butt plug is a sex toy designed for anal stimulation, featuring a tapered tip for easy insertion and a flared base for safety. Unlike dildos, they're meant to stay in place, offering a feeling of fullness.

3 Benefits of Using a Butt Plug:

  • Provides Additional Stimulation: The anus and rectum are full of sensitive nerve endings. A butt plug can stimulate these, enhancing the intensity of sexual experiences.
  • Helps You Achieve Anal Orgasms: By using a butt plug with lubricant, you can stimulate particularly sensitive erogenous zones. If you have a penis, you can use a butt plug to achieve a prostate orgasm, which is achieved by massaging the prostate gland located below the bladder, near the rectum.
  • Prepares You for Anal Sex: If you're interested in trying anal sex with a partner, butt plugs can help your sphincter muscles get accustomed to the sensation of anal insertion.

How to Use a Butt Plug:

Note: When trying a butt plug, always use toys specifically designed for anal play. These have a flared base to prevent them from being sucked into the anus and ending up in the colon. For safety, large rings or pull cords are also acceptable.

Empty Your Bowels

Emptying your bowels 30-60 minutes before any type of anal play will help you relax and make using a butt plug more comfortable and less messy. If emptying your bowels is difficult, you might use an enema.

Clean Your Anus

Even if your anus appears clean, it can harbor bacteria that might cause vaginal infections. Clean with warm water and soap before anal play, preferably in the shower, which also helps relax your body.

Use Lubricant

Lubricant is essential when using a butt plug because the anus doesn't self-lubricate. It helps prevent tearing.

Start Inserting the Butt Plug

Relax your muscles before starting. Massage and gradually get used to the sensation. After applying lubricant, gently press the plug, increasing pressure as it slowly inserts. Take your time, ensuring the base of the plug remains outside.

After Insertion

Initially, it might feel uncomfortable. If it hurts, remove it, use more lubricant, and reinsert slowly until you start to get accustomed to the sensation. Then, begin to enjoy the good feelings, letting pleasure guide you.

Removing the Butt Plug

Relax and gently pull it out. If it feels stuck, don't panic—this can make your muscles tense, making removal harder. Push it out like you're having a bowel movement, without straining too much. Minor bleeding isn't usually a concern as most small internal tears heal on their own. If you're uncomfortable, a warm bath can help speed up the healing process.

How to Clean

Use soapy water or a specialized toy cleaner, always referring to the product's instructions for specific guidance.
