For individuals desirous of wanting to learn more about anal play, butt plugs are an essential part of your education. Butt plugs come in all different shapes and sizes and it’s important to do your research before you make your first purchase.
WHAT ARE BUTT PLUGS FOR?
Choosing your first butt plug can be a hard decision to make. Butt plugs can be used for many different purposes. It can be used to assist with the dilation of the muscles prior to anal sex. It can also be used during sex or masturbation to enhance feelings of pleasure and increase the chances of achieving a deeper, better-quality orgasm.
If you’re wanting to feel extra freaky, you might also like to wear a butt plug casually around the house or even when you’re out in public.
CHOOSING YOUR FIRST BUTT PLUG
When choosing your first butt plug, it is a good idea to start with one that is small and smooth. This is vital so that way you avoid any injuries or unwanted pain. Overestimating yourself and starting big is not a good idea.
As a butt plug virgin, make sure your butt plug has a flared base. You should also avoid using a butt plug that is textured. Your first butt plug should always have a tapered tip so that it is easier and more comfortable to insert. We also recommend a good quality lubricant.
The ROMP Bass Vibrating Plug , is the perfect toy for those wanting to experiment with anal play. This, and products like it, can also be used as a bullet for clitoral stimulation or as a g-spot massager for women who prefer to explore their bodies with a smaller sized vibrator. The vibration plus the heating function can help things relax ‘down there’.
BUTT… WHAT ABOUT HYGIENE?
As you can imagine, it is important to practice good hygiene when it comes to anal play. This includes avoiding using the same toy for both anal play and vaginal stimulation. We also recommend not sharing your butt plug/s with your partner and cleaning your toy/s with proper sex toy cleaner after every use.
Don’t buy anything second-hand or off eBay (or any dodgy looking website). You don’t want to be another person’s sloppy seconds or a product that’s been incorrectly packaged / stored.
If you are worried about getting poop on your butt plug, it might be a good idea to purchase a darker coloured butt plug, so that way it is less visible to you and your partner. You can also invest in an enema / douche kit to ensure ‘the path is clear’ prior to your session.

WHAT ARE BUTT PLUGS MADE OF?
The best butt plugs are usually made of materials such as; glass, silicone and metal. Silicone is most often the cheapest and therefore a great place to start.
Some butt plugs are made with jelly, slime or a skin-like material. It is best to avoid these types of products as they are extremely difficult to clean. Some butt plugs (and adult toys in general) can become sticky / tacky attracting fluff and hair. They can also become a home for bacteria. If you can’t keep the product clean then it’s not advised to be using that on or in your body.
FOR YOUR EXTRA COMFORT
Water based lube is essential – too much lube is never too much! ‘Going in dry’ can result in an uncomfortable and even painful experience. If there is any bleeding or general discomfort that lasts for longer than a few minutes after using a butt plug, then seek medical assistance to ensure everything is okay.
