Butt Plugs
Butt plugs are anal toys with a tapered insertable section, a narrow neck, and a wide flared base. Once inserted, the sphincter closes around the narrow neck and holds the plug in place. They are designed to be worn rather than thrusted, providing a continuous sensation of internal fullness and pressure during solo sex, masturbation, or partnered sex.

Why Choose Butt Plugs
- Provides anal fullness during any other sexual activity. A butt plug worn during masturbation, oral sex, or penetrative sex adds a constant sensation of anal fullness that continues regardless of what else is happening. For many people, this fullness intensifies orgasm significantly. Neither person needs to hold or manage the plug once it is in place.
- The most accessible entry point into anal play. Butt plugs are the most widely recommended first anal toy because they are simple to insert, designed to stay in place once inserted, and available in very small beginner sizes. There is no technique involved beyond inserting the plug and allowing the sphincter to relax around it.
- Held in place by the sphincter without any effort from the user. The narrow neck of a butt plug is what makes it different from an anal dildo. The sphincter contracts around the neck and keeps the plug in place during movement, sex, and physical activity without the user holding it. This allows genuinely hands-free anal stimulation during any paired activity.
- Stainless steel and glass plugs enable temperature play. Metal and glass butt plugs can be chilled or warmed before use for temperature sensation internally. The firm, smooth surface of metal and glass also produces a distinctly different sensation from soft silicone plugs and is preferred by many experienced users.
- Vibrating plugs add motor-powered stimulation during wear. Vibrating butt plugs include a motor in the body of the plug that vibrates throughout the anal walls during wear. Combined with the fullness sensation of the plug, this produces a more intense experience than a non-vibrating plug. Many vibrating plugs are app or remote controlled so a partner can adjust settings during sex.
Types of Butt Plugs
Beginner silicone butt plugs are slim, tapered plugs in soft body-safe silicone with a narrow neck and a wide flared base. Sizes typically start at around 2.5 cm diameter at the widest insertable point. These are the standard starting point for first-time anal toy use and the most widely purchased plug type. Browse the full anal toys collection for the complete range of anal accessories alongside butt plugs.
Vibrating butt plugs have a motor built into the insertable body that vibrates during wear. Multiple speed and pattern settings allow the wearer to adjust intensity. Most are USB rechargeable. Vibrating plugs are popular for partnered sex where the anal vibration intensifies the overall experience for the wearer.
App and remote controlled butt plugs connect to a smartphone app or respond to a physical remote, allowing either the wearer or a partner to adjust vibration settings without touching the toy directly. These are popular for couples who want to add anal stimulation during sex with partner control. See the full app and remote controlled butt plugs collection for connected designs.
Stainless steel butt plugs are completely firm and smooth, heavier than silicone, and can be warmed or chilled for temperature play. The weight and firmness of steel produces a different sensation from silicone and is preferred by many experienced plug users. Stainless steel is also fully non-porous and can be completely sterilised between uses.
Jewelled butt plugs have a decorative gemstone or jewel set into the flared base, creating a visual effect when worn. The insertable body is typically metal or glass and the jewel is visible externally during wear. These combine functional anal stimulation with an aesthetic element that many people find appealing.
Large and extra-large butt plugs are designed for experienced anal toy users who want significant internal fullness from a plug. These require prior experience with smaller plugs and thorough warm-up before use. They are not appropriate as starting sizes.

Who Buys Butt Plugs
Butt plugs are bought by people of all genders who are curious about anal stimulation and want to start with a toy that is simple, safe, and designed for comfortable wear rather than active thrusting. They are the most common first anal toy purchase across all genders and orientations.
People who want to wear a plug during sex to add anal fullness alongside vaginal penetration or during oral sex buy butt plugs specifically for the combined stimulation experience. The combination of anal fullness and other stimulation is one of the most commonly reported ways people use butt plugs in partnered contexts.
Couples where one partner wants to experience anal stimulation during sex buy vibrating or app-controlled butt plugs so the stimulation can be adjusted by either partner during sex without stopping or repositioning.
People interested in prostate stimulation who are new to anal toys often start with a slim beginner plug before progressing to a purpose-built prostate massager with a more pronounced curve. The plug provides an accessible introduction to internal anal sensation before targeting a specific area.
Choosing Butt Plugs
Start smaller than you think necessary. A butt plug that is comfortable to wear is more useful than one that is impressively sized but difficult to insert or uncomfortable during wear. Beginner plugs in the 2.5 to 3 cm diameter range are accessible for most people with patience and sufficient lubricant. Progress to larger sizes over multiple sessions.
The flared base must be wider than the widest point of the plug body. Every butt plug must have a flared base wider than the insertable section. The rectum can draw objects inside through involuntary muscle contractions and there is no internal stopping point. A base that is too narrow relative to the plug body can be pulled inside with the plug during wear. Check that the base diameter significantly exceeds the widest point of the insertable section before purchasing.
Non-porous material for hygiene. Silicone, stainless steel, and borosilicate glass are all non-porous and can be fully sanitised between uses. Porous materials including rubber and jelly cannot be fully cleaned of anal bacteria and are not recommended for anal use. Choose non-porous materials for any butt plug used regularly.
Weight for stainless steel plugs. Steel plugs are heavier than silicone equivalents of the same size. The weight itself is part of the sensation for many users, producing a feeling of fullness and presence that a lighter plug does not. Check the stated weight before purchasing a steel plug if weight is a consideration for comfort during extended wear.
Vibrating plugs for partnered use. If the primary intended use is during sex with a partner who will control the settings, an app or remote controlled vibrating plug is more practical than one operated only by physical buttons on the toy itself. Physical buttons on a plug worn during active sex are difficult to press without disrupting the session.
Looking After Your Butt Plugs
Clean butt plugs before and after every use. Non-vibrating silicone plugs can be fully sterilised by boiling for 3 minutes or running through a dishwasher without detergent. Stainless steel and borosilicate glass can be boiled or dishwashed. Vibrating plugs with electronics should be washed thoroughly with warm water and toy cleaner or mild soap, rinsed completely, and air dried.
Use water-based lubricant with silicone butt plugs. Apply generously to both the plug and the anal opening before insertion. Reapply if you feel discomfort during extended wear. For stainless steel and glass plugs, silicone-based lubricant is also compatible and lasts longer between applications.
Store in individual clean pouches away from other silicone toys. Inspect the flared base before every use to confirm it is intact and securely attached. A damaged or weakened base should not be used.
Goes Well With
Anal lubricant is the essential companion for every butt plug session. The anus does not self-lubricate and generous initial application is required for comfortable insertion. Thicker gel-style water-based lubricants stay in place better than thin runny formulas for anal use.
A vibrator used on the clitoris or penis while wearing a butt plug is one of the most commonly described uses of butt plugs during solo masturbation. The combination of external vibration and internal anal fullness produces a noticeably more intense experience than either stimulation alone for most people.
Anal douching before a plug session reduces mess and increases comfort, particularly when wearing larger plugs or planning extended wear. Douche bulbs are available in the douches and enemas section of the anal toys range.

Frequently asked questions
What is a butt plug and how is it different from an anal dildo?
A butt plug has a tapered insertable body, a narrow neck, and a wide flared base. Once inserted, the sphincter closes around the narrow neck and holds the plug in place during wear. It is designed to be worn rather than thrusted, providing a continuous sensation of fullness without movement. An anal dildo is used with active thrusting or movement and does not have a neck designed to be held by the sphincter during wear. If you want static fullness during other activity, a butt plug is the right choice. If you want the active sensation of anal penetration with movement, an anal dildo is more appropriate.
What size butt plug should I start with?
Start with a beginner plug with a maximum diameter of around 2.5 to 3 cm. Even if you have experience with anal penetration with a partner, a butt plug requires its own warm-up and produces a different type of sensation. A plug that is comfortable to wear is far more useful than one that is larger but difficult to insert or uncomfortable during extended wear. Use generous water-based lubricant, insert slowly, and allow the sphincter to relax around the plug rather than forcing it. You can progress to larger sizes over multiple sessions once a smaller size is comfortable.
Does a butt plug need a flared base?
Yes, without exception. The rectum has no internal stopping point and the anal sphincter can contract and draw objects deeper inside through involuntary muscle movements. A flared base that is wider than the body of the plug prevents this from happening by sitting outside the anal opening. Never use any toy anally that does not have a confirmed flared base significantly wider than the widest insertable point of the toy. This applies to all butt plugs regardless of size or material.
Can a butt plug be worn during sex with a partner?
Yes. Wearing a butt plug during penetrative sex, oral sex, or manual stimulation is one of the most common ways people use butt plugs in partnered contexts. The plug stays in place during movement and provides continuous anal fullness throughout sex without either person holding or managing the toy. Vibrating or app-controlled plugs allow a partner to adjust the stimulation during sex without stopping. The combination of anal fullness from the plug and other stimulation during sex is widely reported to intensify orgasm for the person wearing it.
What lubricant should I use with a butt plug?
Use water-based lubricant with silicone butt plugs. Silicone-based lubricant degrades silicone surfaces over time. For stainless steel and borosilicate glass plugs, both water-based and silicone-based lubricants are compatible. Silicone-based lubricant lasts longer between reapplications and is worth considering for extended wear sessions with non-silicone plugs. The anus produces no natural lubrication, so generous initial application to both the plug and the anal opening is required before every insertion, and reapplication during extended wear is recommended if any discomfort is felt.
