How To Use A Butt Plug
Butt plugs are really popular sex toys to buy, and you might be interested in trying a butt plug yourself. Don’t worry if you have never used a butt plug before, this handy guide will walk you through the step you should take to make the best of your experience with a butt plug.
How to Use Lubricant with a Butt Plug
As the body doesn’t produce natural lubrication for the anus, using a good quality lubricant is always recommended for anal sex and when you are using anal sex toys like butt plugs.
There are specially formulated lubes for anal use that are thicker to make things more comfortable and long-lasting so you won’t have to re-apply it often. Silicone lubricants are often recommended for anal sex and for the use of butt plugs as they are extra slippery and keep the area hydrated for a longer time.
However, if you are planning to use a silicone-based lubricant make sure that the butt plug you are using is not made of silicone, as this can cause material degradation.
No matter what size of butt plug you are playing with, you should always use appropriate lubrication to avoid discomfort and injury.
How to Insert a Butt Plug
You should relax both mentally and physically before you try to insert your butt plug. Some people like to use an anal douche before anal sex and anal sex toy play, as this cleans out the anal canal, make things less messy and can relax the sphincter. It’s up to you if you want to douche or not, but you should always use lube.
It’s worth getting yourself aroused before you try to insert your butt plug; try using a bullet vibrator to get into the mood as external stimulation can relax your muscles, making penetration easier. Once you feel relaxed and ready, apply lube to the tip and body of your butt plug and to the your anus. Place the plug near the entry of your rectum and push the sex toy in lightly but firmly. You may need to change the position you are in or the angle of the penetration to make things more comfortable. Don’t rush and just push in the plug until it feels nice or until you reach the base of the plug. The toy will stay put due to the sphincter muscles closing in on the slimmer neck part of the plug.
How to Play with a Butt Plug
You can either move the plug in and out to stimulate yourself, or you can leave it in and engage in other sexual or even non-sexual activities.
Some people like to wear a butt plug while they are doing their household chores to make things more exciting. You can also leave your butt plug inside and use other methods of masturbation, like using a dildo vaginally, using a stroker on your penis or stimulating your other erogenous zones. Once the butt plug is inserted, it can provide you with hands-free stimulation, so it’s truly up to you how you utilise this freedom.
You can also wear your butt plug while engaging in sex with a partner. If you are having PiV sex, your partner will have a tighter vaginal experience and you will be able to enjoy simultaneous stimulation vaginally and anally. Some butt plugs have ornamental bases (jewelled butt plugs, tail butt plugs) that can provide further aesthetic pleasure to your partner when, for example, you are having sex in doggy style.
How to Clean Your Butt Plug
When you are done with your butt plug remove it from your anus slowly and carefully. Make sure you clean the toy thoroughly – some toys are made of materials that can be boiled providing you with an easy and foolproof way to disinfect your butt plug. Use toy cleaner or warm soapy water to wash all surfaces of the toy, making sure you also clean any smaller ridges and crevices of the toy.
Usually metal, glass and silicone sex toys are the easiest to clean, so if this is an important aspect for you, make sure you choose your butt plug with this in mind.
