How do you use a butt plug?

The butt plug is a great toy for anal sex. Are you interested in a butt plug and looking to buy one? Here you’ll find more information about the types and sizes. What to look out for if you’re buying one, as well as an explanation on how to use a butt plug.

What is a butt plug?

A butt plug is also called an anal plug. It is literally a plug that completely closes off the anus. This toy is all about feeling ‘full’. The butt plug has a specific shape with a ‘stopper’ at the end. That way you can leave the butt plug in during sex or your night on the town. The broad end prevents the butt plug from ‘disappearing’ in the anus.

The butt plug provides additional stimulation to the prostate in men, which results in an intense erotic feeling. For women it provides additional stimulation of the G-spot.

How do you use a butt plug?

There’s actually a quick and easy answer to that question: insert the butt plug in your anus. Use plenty of lubricant to ensure smooth insertion. There is a special type of anal lubricant with numbing effect available. The anus is very sensitive, so before you start penetration, it’s important that you first stimulate the anus, for example through fingering or vibrations. Take your time and make sure that the anus is completely relaxed before inserting the plug.

Some people use the butt plug during sex for additional sensation. Others use the plug as preparation for other types of anal penetration, for example with a penis, fist or strap-on. Some people use an anal plug as they go out and keep the plug inserted for a longer period of time. In short: decide what you’re planning to use this toy for before buying on.

Shapes
