Everything You Need to Know About This Popular Anal Toy

Do you want to know what is a Butt Plug?

If you have ever wondered what is a Anal plug? Well you’re not alone. Many more people are now exploring pleasure on their own terms. Anal toys like Anal plugs have become increasingly mainstream. If you're just curious or considering trying one yourself. This guide breaks down everything you need to know in a safe, respectful as well as judgment-free way.

What Exactly Is a Butt Plug?

An anal plug is a type of sex toy designed for anal insertion. Unlike dildos, which are meant for thrusting. Anal plugs are typically worn in place. This can be either for short sessions or extended periods of play. They come in a variety of sizes, shapes as well as materials. Anal Plugs are often used for enhanced stimulation, anal training or simply exploring new sensations.

Most plugs feature a tapered tip for easy insertion, a bulbous body to create a “full” feeling, as well as a flared base to prevent the toy from slipping inside completely. This design ensures both comfort and safety.

Why Do People Use Butt Plugs?

People use Anal plugs for many reasons. These can be physical, psychological as well as sensual. Some common motivations include:

  • Anal training: This is to gradually build comfort with anal play.

  • Increased arousal: The feeling of fullness can intensify other forms of stimulation.

  • Foreplay and partner play: This adds new dimensions to intimacy.

  • Kink and BDSM: Anal plugs may be used as part of power play or submission dynamics.

  • Daily wear: Some advanced users wear plugs discreetly during daily activities.

Are Butt Plugs Safe?

Yes. Anal plugs are generally safe when used properly. Look for plugs made from non-porous, body-safe materials such as silicone, stainless steel or borosilicate glass. Always:

  • Use plenty of lube (water-based is ideal for silicone toys)

  • Go slow and listen to your body

  • Never use a toy without a flared base

  • Clean your toy before and after use with mild soap or a toy cleaner

For more detailed information on preventing sexually transmitted infections during anal play, refer to Mayo Clinic's guide on STDs.

Butt Plug FAQs

  • What is a butt plug used for?

    A butt plug is a sex toy designed to be worn anally for stimulation, relaxation, or to enhance pleasure during solo or partnered play. They're often used for foreplay, anal training, or prostate stimulation.

  • Are butt plugs safe to use?

    Yes, butt plugs are safe when used correctly. Choose body-safe materials, ensure the toy has a flared base to prevent it from being fully inserted, and always use plenty of lubrication to reduce discomfort.

  • Can beginners use butt plugs?

    Absolutely. Many butt plugs are made specifically for beginners with smaller sizes, softer materials, and easy insertion tips. Start slow, use lube, and focus on comfort. Explore our Beginner Butt Plug Collection.

  • How do I choose the right size butt plug?

    Begin with a small plug if you're new, and look for tapered shapes with a secure base. More experienced users may explore medium to large sizes. It’s all about comfort, control, and personal preference.

  • How long can I wear a butt plug?

    Beginners should limit wear to 15–30 minutes. As you become more experienced, some plugs are designed for longer wear—but always listen to your body and avoid discomfort or numbness.

  • Do I need to use lube with a butt plug?

    Yes, always use a generous amount of water-based lubricant with a butt plug to ensure smooth, comfortable insertion and removal. Lubrication is essential as the anus doesn’t self-lubricate.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS DEFINITIONS AND APPLICATION 15 Except pursuant to instructions previously received in writing and accepted in writing by the Company, the Company will not accept or deal with Goods of a dangerous or damaging nature, nor with Goods likely to harbour or encourage vermin or other pests, nor with Goods liable to taint or affect other Goods. If such Goods are accepted pursuant to a special arrangement, but, thereafter, and in the opinion of the Company, constitute a risk to other goods, property, life or health, the Company shall, where reasonably practicable, contact the Customer in order to require him to remove or otherwise deal with the goods, but reserves the right, in any event, to do so at the expense of the Customer. 16 Where there is a choice of rates according to the extent or degree of the liability assumed by the Company and/or third parties, no declaration of value will be made and/or treated as having been made except under special arrangements previously made in writing by an officer of the Company so authorised as referred to in clause 26(D). THE CUSTOMER Subject to sub-paragraph (B) below, all and any activities of the Company in the course of business, whether gratuitous or not, are undertaken subject to these conditions.
If any legislation, to include regulations and directives, is compulsorily applicable to any business undertaken, these conditions shall, as regards such business, be read as subject to such legislation, and nothing in these conditions shall be construed as a surrender by the Company of any of its rights or immunities or as an increase of any of its responsibilities or liabilities under such legislation, and if any part of these conditions be repugnant to such legislation to any extent, such part shall as regards such business be overridden to that extent and no further. The Customer warrants that he is either the Owner, or the authorised agent of the Owner and, also, that he is accepting these conditions not only for himself, but also as agent for and on behalf of the Owner. THE COMPANY Subject to clauses 11 and 12 below, the Company shall be entitled to procure any or all of the services as an agent, or, to provide those services as a principal.
The Company reserves to itself full liberty as to the means, route and procedure to be followed in the performance of any service provided in the course of business undertaken subject to these conditions. When the Company contracts as a principal for any services, it shall have full liberty to perform such services itself, or, to subcontract on any terms whatsoever, the whole or any part of such services. When the Company acts as an agent on behalf of the Customer, the Company shall be entitled, and the Customer hereby expressly authorises the Company, to enter into all and any contracts on behalf of the Customer as may be necessary or desirable to fulfil the Customer’s instructions, and whether such contracts are subject to the trading conditions of the parties with whom such contracts are made, or otherwise. The Company shall, on demand by the Customer, provide evidence of any contract entered into as agent for the Customer. Insofar as the Company may be in default of the obligation to provide such evidence, it shall be deemed to have contracted with the Customer as a principal for the performance of the Customer’s instructions. In all and any dealings with HMRC for and on behalf of the Customer and/or Owner, the Company is deemed to be appointed, and acts as, Direct Representative only. Subject to sub-clause (B) below, the Company:
has a general lien on all Goods and documents relating to Goods in its possession, custody or control for all sums due at any time to the Company from the Customer and/or Owner on any account whatsoever, whether relating to Goods belonging to, or services provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Customer or Owner. Storage charges shall continue to accrue on any Goods detained under lien;
shall be entitled, on at least 28 days notice in writing to the Customer, to sell or dispose of or deal with such Goods or documents as agent for, and at the expense of, the Customer and apply the proceeds in or towards the payment of such sums;
shall, upon accounting to the Customer for any balance remaining after payment of any sum due to the Company, and for the cost of sale and/or disposal and/or dealing, be discharged of any liability whatsoever in respect of the Goods or documents.
When the Goods are liable to perish or deteriorate, the Company’s right to sell or dispose of or deal with the Goods shall arise immediately upon any sum becoming due to the Company, subject only to the Company taking reasonable steps to bring to the Customer’s attention its intention to sell or dispose of the Goods before doing so. The Company shall be entitled to retain and be paid all brokerages, commissions, allowances and other remunerations customarily retained by, or paid to, freight forwarders. Should the Customer, Consignee or Owner of the Goods fail to take delivery at the appointed time and place when and where the company is entitled to deliver, the Company shall be entitled to store the Goods, or any part thereof, at the sole risk of the Customer or Consignee or Owner, whereupon the Company’s liability in respect of the Goods, or that part thereof, stored as aforesaid, shall wholly cease. The Company’s liability, if any, in relation to such storage, shall be governed by these conditions. All costs incurred by the Company as a result of the failure to take delivery shall be deemed as freight earned, and such costs shall, upon demand, be paid by the Customer. The Company shall be entitled at the expense of the Customer to dispose of or deal with (by sale or otherwise as may be reasonable in all the circumstances):- . (i) after at least 28 days notice in writing to the Customer, or (where the Customer cannot be traced and reasonable efforts have been made to contact any parties who may reasonably be supposed by the Company to have any interest in the Goods) without notice, any Goods which have been held by the Company for 90 days and which cannot be delivered as instructed; and . (ii) without prior notice, any Goods which have perished, deteriorated, or altered, or are in immediate prospect of doing so in a manner which has caused or may reasonably be expected to cause loss or damage to the Company, or third parties, or to contravene any applicable laws or regulations. No insurance will be effected except upon express instructions given in writing by the Customer and accepted in writing by the Company, and all insurances effected by the Company are subject to the usual exceptions and conditions of the policies of the insurers or underwriters taking the risk. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Company shall not be under any obligation to effect a separate insurance on the goods, but may declare it on any open or general policy held by the Company. Insofar as the Company agrees to effect insurance, the Company acts solely as agent for the Customer, and the limits of liability under clause 26(A) (ii) of these conditions shall not apply to the Company’s obligations under clause 11. Except under special arrangements previously made in writing by an officer of the Company so authorised, or made pursuant to or under the terms of a printed document signed by the Company, any instructions relating to the delivery or release of the Goods in specified circumstances (such as, but not limited to, against payment or against surrender of a particular document) are accepted by the Company, where the Company has to engage third parties to effect compliance with the instructions, only as agents for the Customer. Despite the acceptance by the Company of instructions from the Customer to collect freight, duties, charges, dues, or other expenses from the Consignee, or any other Person, on receipt of evidence of proper demand by the Company, and, in the absence of evidence of payment (for whatever reason) by such Consignee, or other Person, the Customer shall remain responsible for such freight, duties, charges, dues, or other expenses. The Company shall not be under any liability in respect of such arrangements as are referred to under sub-clause (A) and (B) hereof save where such arrangements are made in writing, and in any event, the Company’s liability in respect of the performance of, or arranging the performance of, such instructions shall not exceed the limits set out in clause 26(A) (ii) of these conditions. Advice and information, in whatever form it may be given, is provided by the Company for the Customer only. The Customer shall indemnify the Company against all loss and damage suffered as a consequence of passing such advice or information on to any third party. Without prior agreement in writing by an officer of the Company so authorised, the Company will not accept or deal with Goods that require special handling regarding carriage, handling, or security whether owing to their thief attractive nature or otherwise including, but not limited to bullion, coin, precious stones, jewellery, valuables, antiques, pictures, human remains, livestock, pets, plants. Should any Customer nevertheless deliver any such goods to the Company, or cause the Company to handle or deal with any such goods, otherwise than under such prior agreement, the Company shall have no liability whatsoever for or in connection with the goods, howsoever arising. 18 19 20 The Customer warrants:
that the description and particulars of any Goods or information furnished, or services required, by or on behalf of the Customer are full and accurate, and
that any Transport Unit and/or equipment supplied by the Customer in relation to the performance of any requested service is fit for purpose, and
that all Goods have been properly and sufficiently prepared, packed, stowed, labelled and/or marked, and that the preparation, packing, stowage, labelling and marking are appropriate to any operations or transactions affecting the Goods and the characteristics of the Goods.
that where the Company receives the Goods from the Customer already stowed in or on a Transport Unit, the Transport Unit is in good condition, and is suitable for the carriage to the intended destination of the Goods loaded therein, or thereon, and
that where the Company provides the Transport Unit, on loading by the Customer, the Transport Unit is in good condition, and is suitable for the carriage to the intended destination of the Goods loaded therein, or thereon. Without prejudice to any rights under clause 15, where the Customer delivers to the Company, or causes the Company to deal with or handle Goods of a dangerous or damaging nature, or Goods likely to harbour or encourage vermin or other pests, or Goods liable to taint or affect other goods, whether declared to the Company or not, he shall be liable for all loss or damage arising in connection with such Goods, and shall indemnify the Company against all penalties, claims, damages, costs and expenses whatsoever arising in connection therewith, and the Goods may be dealt with in such manner as the Company, or any other person in whose custody they may be at any relevant time, shall think fit. The Customer undertakes that no claim shall be made against any director, servant, or employee of the Company which imposes, or attempts to impose, upon them any liability in connection with any services which are the subject of these conditions, and, if any such claim should nevertheless be made, to indemnify the Company against all consequences thereof. The Customer shall save harmless and keep the Company indemnified from and against:-
all liability, loss, damage, costs and expenses whatsoever (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, all duties, taxes, imposts, levies, deposits and outlays of whatsoever nature levied by any authority in relation to the Goods) arising out of the Company acting in accordance with the Customer’s instructions, or arising from any breach by the Customer of any warranty contained in these conditions, or from the negligence of the Customer, and
without derogation from sub-clause (A) above, any liability assumed, or incurred by the Company when, by reason of carrying out the Customer’s instructions, the Company has become liable to any other party, and
all claims, costs and demands whatsoever and by whomsoever made or preferred, in excess of the liability of the Company under the terms of these conditions, regardless of whether such claims, costs, and/or demands arise from, or in connection with, the breach of contract, negligence or breach of duty of the Company, its servants, sub-contractors or agents, and
any claims of a general average nature which may be made on the Company. The Customer shall pay to the Company in cash, or as otherwise agreed, all sums when due, immediately and without reduction or deferment on account of any claim, counterclaim or set-off.
The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, as amended, shall apply to all sums due from the Customer. Where liability arises in respect of claims of a general average nature in connection with the Goods, the Customer shall promptly provide security to the Company, or to any other party designated by the Company, in a form acceptable to the Company. 23 The Company shall perform its duties with a reasonable degree of care, diligence, skill and judgment. 24 The Company shall be relieved of liability for any loss or damage if, and to the extent that, such loss or damage is caused by:-
 (A) strike, lock-out, stoppage or restraint of labour, the consequences of which the Company is unable to avoid by the exercise of reasonable diligence; or (B) any cause or event which the Company is unable to avoid, and the consequences of which the company is unable to prevent by the exercise of reasonable diligence. 25 Except under special arrangements previously made in writing by an officer of the Company so authorised, the Company accepts no responsibility with regard to any failure to adhere to agreed departure or arrival dates of Goods. 26(A) Subject to clause 2(B) and 11(B) above and sub-clause (D) below, the Company’s liability howsoever arising and, notwithstanding that the cause of loss or damage be unexplained, shall not exceed .

(a) the value of the subject Goods of the relevant transaction between the Company and its 
Customer, or
(b) where the weight can be defined, a sum calculated at the rate of two SDR per kilo of the 
gross weight of the subject Goods of the said transaction, or (c) 75,000 SDR in respect of any one transaction,
whichever shall be the least. . (iii) in the case of an error and/or omission, or a series of errors and/or omissions which are repetitions of or represent the continuation of an original error, and/or omission

(b) 75,000 SDR in the aggregate of any one trading year commencing from the time of the 
making of the original error, and/or omission, whichever shall be the lower.

The value of SDR shall be calculated as at the date when the claim is received by the Company in writing.
Subject to clause 2(B) above and sub-clause (D) below, the Company’s liability for loss or damage as a result of failure to deliver, or arrange delivery of goods, in a reasonable time, or (where there is a special arrangement under Clause 25) to adhere to agreed departure or arrival dates, shall not in any circumstances whatever exceed a sum equal to twice the amount of the Company’s charges in respect of the relevant contract. Save in respect of such loss or damage as is referred to at sub-clause (B), and subject to clause 2(B) above and Sub-Clause (D) below, the Company shall not in any circumstances whatsoever be liable for indirect or consequential loss such as (but not limited to) loss of profit, loss of market, or the consequences of delay or deviation, however caused.
