Shop Butt Plugs by Type

Beginner Butt Plugs: Smaller dimensions, tapered shapes, smooth surfaces, and easy-to-handle bases. A smaller plug is a practical starting point while you learn what feels comfortable, or try a graduated set to explore multiple sizes at your own pace.

Silicone Butt Plugs: Popular for their smooth feel, flexibility, and wide variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from compact beginner plugs to larger, more advanced options.

Stainless Steel Butt Plugs: A firm, rigid feel with substantial weight and a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. The njoy Pure Butt Plugs are a well-known stainless steel option, and jeweled designs like the Kulla Small Stainless Steel Jewel Butt Plug and Crystal Delights Sparkle Butt Plug add a decorative element to the same weighted feel. Steel is also compatible with temperature play.

Glass & Acrylic Butt Plugs: Sleek, firm, and visually striking, similar to steel but often lighter in weight, a good choice for those who enjoy rigid sensations.

Weighted Butt Plugs: Heavier materials or weighted components for a more substantial sensation, most commonly found in stainless steel designs. Compare overall dimensions and base design, not weight alone.

Vibrating Butt Plugs: Combine the shape and fullness of a traditional plug with built-in vibration. The Lovense Hush 2 is a well-known app-controlled option, with rechargeable batteries and adjustable settings. For motorized anal toys beyond traditional plug shapes, explore Vibrating Anal Toys.

Wearable Butt Plugs: Designed to stay comfortably positioned while moving, with compact profiles and secure bases, some also add vibration, remote control, or app connectivity.

Jeweled & Decorative Butt Plugs: Functional plug designs with distinctive bases, jewels, or crystals, popular for fetish fashion, kink events, and anyone who wants a plug that looks as distinctive as it feels.

Butt Plugs by Size

Size is one of the most important considerations when choosing an anal plug. Labels like small, medium, large, or XL aren't standardized across brands, always compare the actual listed measurements rather than relying on the name alone. Small plugs suit beginners and those who prefer a compact, easier-to-control design. Medium plugs balance beginner comfort with more presence. Large and extra-large plugs are generally better suited to experienced users, check maximum diameter, insertable length, and base dimensions before buying, and choose based on your own comfort rather than the largest available size.

How to Choose the Right Butt Plug

1. Choose the size: Beginners generally do best with a smaller, tapered design. More experienced users may prefer larger diameters or longer insertable lengths. Always use actual measurements, not size labels.

2. Choose the shape: Tapered, rounded, bulb-shaped, and narrow-necked designs all insert and sit differently once positioned.

3. Choose the material: Silicone is flexible and available in the widest range of shapes; stainless steel, glass, and acrylic are firm, rigid, and heavier.

4. Decide on vibration: A traditional plug provides fullness; a vibrating plug adds motorized stimulation, with options for rechargeable, remote-controlled, or app-connected designs.

5. Check the base: Always choose a plug with a proper flared base, stopper, or other secure retrieval feature. Never use an anal toy that could become difficult to retrieve.

Materials & Body Safety

Look for products that clearly identify their material and provide proper cleaning and care instructions. Non-porous materials like silicone and stainless steel are popular, safe choices. Pair silicone plugs with a water-based lubricant, the anus doesn't self-lubricate the way other tissue does, so generous lube matters for comfort and safety. Not sure which formula to choose? See our guide to the top 8 types of lube.

Cleaning & Care

Clean your plug before and after each use according to the manufacturer's instructions. Most non-porous toys can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap, or a dedicated toy cleaner. Electronic or rechargeable plugs need extra care around water exposure and charging components, always check the specific product's guidance. If sharing a toy, use a fresh condom over it and change it between users. Store cleaned toys in a clean, dry place, away from materials that could react with one another.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a butt plug?

An anal toy with an insertable portion and an external base or stopper, available in silicone, stainless steel, weighted, vibrating, wearable, and decorative designs.

What size butt plug should a beginner use?

Start with a smaller diameter rather than jumping straight to a large plug. Always check the exact diameter and insertable length listed by the manufacturer, since size labels aren't standardized between brands.

Do I need lube with a butt plug?

Yes. The anus doesn't self-lubricate, so using plenty of compatible lubricant is essential for comfort and safety. Always choose a lubricant compatible with your toy's specific material.

How do I clean a butt plug?

Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Many non-porous toys can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap or a dedicated toy cleaner, electronic toys may have additional care requirements.

Can butt plugs be shared?

Individual use is preferable for hygiene. If a plug is shared, use a fresh condom over the toy and change it between users.

How long can you wear a butt plug?

Wear time depends on the design, your comfort, and the manufacturer's recommendations. Remove the toy if you experience pain, numbness, or significant discomfort.

What's the difference between a butt plug and an anal dildo?

A butt plug is designed to stay positioned with an external base or stopper, built for sustained fullness. An anal dildo is typically shaped for more active movement.
