What are Butt Plugs and how does one use them?
The main function of the Butt Plug is explained by its name: it's used to plug your butt.
Buying butt plugs can be really fun and easy but using them can be tricky, thanks to the human anatomy. The anus (anal cavity) has thousands of nerves concentrated in a very small region and responds to sexual stimulus.
The anal plug is usually the first article in your anal play kit because even before people get to try anal sex or anal dildo, they usually introduce the buttplug to 'test and try' soften the anal grip and train the mind that you are consenting for these muscles to relax and allow a 'foreign body' inside. In short that's anal sex prep.
Many people think anal play is painful, but the truth is it doesn’t have to be at all. Using a good-quality lubricant makes all the difference! It helps your body relax, reduces friction, and lets you explore pleasure smoothly and safely just the way you want. With the right lube, every moment feels more natural, more comfortable, and completely enjoyable, breaking the old taboo around anal play.
And remember, always keep your butt plugs clean after every use. Use a trusted toy cleaner to maintain the texture, hygiene, and softness of your toy, so it’s perfectly ready for your next session.
Also, one must remember that the anal opening doesn’t self-lubricate like the vagina, so make sure to use plenty of thick or gliding anal sex suitable lube that can be water based or hybrid, to ease the process.
Better to first start with fingers or very small butt plugs specially designed for beginners to anal play, prior to penetrative sex with a strap-on or the penis. A lot of butt plugs are specially designed for comfortable, long term usage, in order to condition the sphincter muscles for penetration. Whatever your fantasies, when it comes to anal play, its best to buy butt plugs which are small and start with them first.
Benefits of Using Butt Plugs during anal play
Butt plugs can help the muscles in your rectum relax. Anal sex is most enjoyable when you're relaxed, so butt plug makes way easy to get ready anal penetration. A person can use butt plugs of varying sizes to help stretch their anus. This can be beneficial for someone who wants to try anal sex.
Over time, the anus will become used to the size of the butt plug. Individuals can then gradually increase the girth of the butt plug until they achieve the size they desire. It is important for a person to increase the size of the butt plug slowly and gradually. Inserting butt plugs that are too big can cause pain and tearing.
NOTE ON SAFETY: While a vagina is closed by the cervix, the anus opens into the rectum, which then opens into the sigmoid colon. This means that your butt plug could travel up your butt completely and disappear.
Haha, fear not, thats why butt plugs first got their flared bases, so it acts like a stopper of sorts :) plus your doctor may have seen butt plugs of more shapes than probably you have.
As far as where to buy butt plugs online, always buy from good, reputed websites and brands that make sure their products are high quality and body-safe. Even then, always make sure to read the product description carefully, to note the size and material of the toy.

Your First Steps into Anal Play (and How to Level Up)
There are millions of butt plugs out there! To start you off:
1. Start Small, Flared & Tapered: Some say that Anal play is literally a pain in the ass. However, it doesn’t have to be. Know your body and start with what you have. Sphincter muscles typically open to expel foreign material from the rectum and are extremely strong.
However, the anal skin and rectal linings are very thin and get damaged very easily. A large butt plug toy can easily tear this thin skin while trying to enter through the sphincter, resulting in unnecessary pain.
Usually, amidst the vast selection of butt plugs online, one can find many starter anal plugs which are thin, made from skin friendly and smooth material and have a simple shape that works well with the human body. These plugs are usually made of silicone or other medical polymers, metals like steel butt plugs, or glass butt plugs, and are extremely smooth, but always play with lube, or you will miss out!
2. Move up the ladder of anal toys: Once you are comfortable with your first butt plug, it’s time to let the creativity flow. The anus, the rectum, (the prostate if you are a guy), or the clitoris for the woman, everything gets involved in anal play.
It’s time to look for anal toys that target all these parts of your lover’s body (or yours). From anatomically shaped plugs to stimulate the prostate to graduated sets of ever larger butt plugs to prepare for more intense play, these sex toys are often purpose-built and can be on the pricier side. However, as long as you don’t push your limits, they are worth a million gasps.

Myths about Butt Plugs
Let's bust them, one myth at a time
1) Butt Plugs are Painful: Absolutely Not! It is painful you are probably not doing it right and you should stop immediately. Your butt is one of the most responsive erogenous zones of your body and the anal canal is full of extremely sensitive nerve endings.
Butt sensitive nerve endings that bring pleasure can also cause pain. (Pun intended) If at any point the butt plug causes any kind of discomfort of at all stop immediately so that the pain stops. This could also mean there is not enough lubrication or you need to use a smaller size. Or you just need to take a break and START AGAIN.
2) You are going to poop: While it is true that poop is an ever-present risk with anal sex, if you have had a bowel movement, or an enema, prior to your session, it is usually not a problem. The sensation of feeling full and about to poop is actually because the butt plug triggers that same nerves that get triggered when you relieve yourself.
Remember, the primary function of the anus is to expel stuff and the same muscles also try to expel the anal plug you just inserted. It might feel like you are about to poop, but if you have cleaned up beforehand, you won’t.
3) It doesn’t matter if I do an ass-to-mouth play or an ass – to – vagina play: Well, ideally it does. Even if you’ve had an enema, the bacterial presence in your anal canal is still there, even though your poop may not be.
So, it’s important to not do unprotected anal sex. It is also important to not do ass to mouth or ass to the vagina, unless the condom that was used during ass play is removed.
Pro-Tips for using Butt Plugs & Anal Toys
-
No matter what the size of your butt plug or the level of your experience, when it comes to anal play, the first thing you need is lube. Pick your favorite anal plug, coat it with lube, coat the receiving butt with lube and start slow. Remember, lots of foreplay before penetration ensures that your anal muscles are relaxed and the plug can slide in easily.
-
At times, especially when things are happening in the heat of the moment, and you have not had the time to clean up and prep ahead of anal play, it’s good to use a condom with your anal plug so that the toy itself doesn’t get in contact with poop. Also, it is better to not share your toys with other people, as it can increase the risk of cross-contamination and infection.
-
A slow pace is especially important with butt plugs that are large. Large butt plugs, if used very quickly, or with unnecessary force, can cause sphincter tears, detachment other injuries to rectal walls.
-
Once the playtime is over, wash any toys that were used for penetration, with warm water and mild soap. Let the toys completely dry out, before storing them. Often, anal sex toys for women come with their own pouches or boxes, and it is recommended that you retain these pouches and boxes so you can store the toys in their individual containers.
Butt play is supposed to be fun, simple, exciting and steamy. All you need to do is buy butt plugs online from a reliable adult sex toy brand and not just any website. Use, the instructions, start slow, continue gradually and have fun!
Fun Fact: Did you know originally, butt plugs were used as medical devices meant for ‘therapeutic uses’? They often had medical-science sounding names like Dr. Young’s Rectal Dilators. That because it was considered that butt plugs open the rectum wide open (dilate it). Those days, one couldn’t buy butt plugs as easily as today.
