Butt plug: Meaning, Uses and What to Buy

A butt plug is a short anal toy with a tapered tip, a wider middle, a narrow neck and a flared base. The anus closes around the neck, so the plug stays in place without being held, while the base stops it from going in too far. Plugs come in many sizes, and some vibrate or come with a remote.

Why it matters when buying

Safety first: use only plugs with a flared base, start with the smallest size and use plenty of thick lube, since the anus does not lubricate itself. Go slowly, stop if it hurts and wash the plug well after each use.

What to look for

  • A flared or anchor-shaped base
  • A small size first; check the widest diameter
  • Silicone with water-based lube, or glass
  • A tapered tip for easier insertion
