b-Vibe Snug Plug 4, Black

Product Information

Size: Based on our research and testing, our editors found that the beginners should look for butt plugs with an insertable length between two to three inches max. More advanced users who prefer a deeper penetration should go for butt plugs that have at least a four-inch insertable length. Butt plug kits are also useful for guys who gradually and safely want to go up a size. In the box with this baby, there’s a cute zip-up storage pouch that’s kinda like a mini make-up bag. It’s big enough to hold the plug and a 125ml bottle of Sliquid so it’d be great for keeping your shit together while travelling. There’s also a user guide in the box and a little guide to anal play booklet. When you realize you’re into anal play—or at least that you’re curious about it—you really should own some butt plugs. These versatile sex toys can be used on their own or combined with masturbation, oral sex, or other toys. They can serve as foreplay for anal sex, but using them can be a deeply pleasurable experience even without that goal in mind. Butt plugs have a smaller tip and wider base to keep a toy from penetrating too far. Choosing one with a T-bar is recommended for extended wear, especially if you’re going on about your business and moving around a lot. Sex toys can amp up the benefits of solo play, too. "Research suggests that masturbation can boost the immune system, reduce stress, and help you sleep better," says Joe Kort, PhD, LMSW, founder and director of the Center for Relationship and Sexual Health in Royal Oak, Michigan.

Finally, Dr. Fleming stresses that anal play isn’t something you get right into. “I can’t recommend enough the importance of only introducing any anal play when you’re already highly aroused,” she says. When you’re aroused, your body relaxes—including your anal sphincter. So the more turned on you are, the more enjoyable anal sex will be. Material: Only use butt plugs that are made with body safe materials that are non-porous. So look for toys that are made from silicone, glass, and metal, as those are easy to clean and sanitize. In general, avoid toys that are made from PVC, which could contain toxic chemicals like phthalates. Both have pros and cons, says Ashley Manta, author of The CBD Solution: Sex. "Battery-operated is usually cheaper, so [it's] potentially good for someone who is just starting out," Manta says. "But you do get what you pay for, and battery-operated vibes tend to be more on the buzzy side, which can feel itchy if you're someone who prefers rumbly vibration." On the other hand, she says that rechargeable toys tend to be higher quality, often come with warranties, and are usually made out of non-porous materials (i.e. they're smoother, water resistant, and are less likely to accumulate bacteria). Size and shape are important, too. While you definitely don’t want to go with a massive plug that can get uncomfortable real fast even for an experienced anal toy connoisseur, too small a plug can be problematic, too. Janet Brito, PhD, is a certified sex therapist based in Honolulu, Hawaii, and the founder of the Sexual Health School.I’d stay away from any that have a smaller plug, as this may get lost in your anus after a day of running errands or heading to work,” says Saynt. As I continue to stretch my hole, I think I'll definitely go for the SP 6 and 7. The weight makes a big difference and, for me, elevates the experience quite a bit. The plug itself is made from the smoothest silicone and there isn’t a seam in sight. It really does feel lovely to the touch. I’m typing one handed right now cos my other hand is obsessively stroking the plug. I've found the finish to be excellent, smooth all around. There's a very slight color difference along where the seam would be but otherwise they're great.

Yep, when it comes to your butt, a toy can get away from you and end up too high in your rectum to reach. This is rare, but possible, which is why the shape of an anal toy is crucial. Moving away from anal, the Snug Plug 3 works brilliantly as a kegel exerciser. Most ‘advanced’ kegel balls have a weight range of between 90g and 130g. Because of the 180g weight of the Snug Plug 3, it gives my muscles one hell of a workout. Even better, though, is the fact that the size and shape of it makes me feel like I have a dildo inside me. Kegel balls don’t usually turn me on (I say usually cos my steel ones do) but nearly every time I’ve used this plug as a kegel weight the session has seamlessly morphed into masturbation. Size, shape, and material matter, but so does choosing a toy you’re familiar with, explains Daniel Saynt, founder and chief conspirator of the New Society for Wellness, a sex- and cannabis-friendly members-only club in New York City. However, when someone wears a butt plug for long periods of time, the sphincter can get inflamed around the plug, making removal very difficult, if not impossible,” he says. “Additionally, the surrounding anal and rectal tissues may also swell. As a result, you may find yourself with fissures, hemorrhoids, and other localized injuries.” Extended wear won’t loosen your anus

The Best 2-in-1 Butt Plug: B-Vibe Vibrating Snug & Tug

Don't let your eyes be bigger than your orifices, Manta warns. "Sometimes, people get a bit ambitious when choosing a plug, so be sure to have tried inserting a well-lubed finger first and see how many fingers (if more than one) you can comfortably take," she suggests. If you're in the mood to switch things up in the bedroom, why not surprise your partner with the sweet gift of enhanced orgasms through a male sex toy? Sure, it's sometimes considered "easier" for guys to orgasm without sex toys, but that doesn't mean they can't use them when they want to have a little extra fun. To find the best butt plugs to buy now, our panel of two sex experts and our own sex editor tried over 50 butt plugs in the past year, and field tested them during solo and partner play. They judged each butt plug based on its size, extra features (like vibrating or weighted butt plugs), and how much pleasure each one produced. Ahead, we found the 22 best butt plugs to buy online now. Okay, there's no ignoring this one! The 5 provided a sort of radiating sensation thanks to its size partially filling up my rectum and pressing against my prostate. Coupled with the weight of the plug, it made me randomly throb and flex my anus whether I was standing, sitting, or in bed. This was way too stimulating to wear to bed so I took it out after around 90 mins. I'll have to get used to the sensation first before I can get a decent night's sleep wearing this one. The 5 is near my current limit, but it was still pretty easy to insert thanks to the shape of the tip and lube. The best rule of thumb is that beginners should start with a toy that's smaller in size. Small plugs should be roughly the size of a finger or two for easy insertion, so you can gently stretch the tissue around your anus. Eventually, you may want to work up to larger plugs, which can get as big as a fist.
