We can give you tips and tricks to set you on your way. Plus we can even recommend some of our favourite butt plugs for beginners.
So lets start those anal adventures with a few basics…
What Is a Butt Plug?
Butt plugs are exactly what they say they are… they are plugs, they are worn in your butt and they are pretty much the ultimate accessory to backdoor play.
Shaped to enable easy insertion, butt plugs come in a wide range of sizes from slimline and petite; ideal for the beginner. To girthy and heavy, for the connoisseurs. All will have a tapered tip to aid entry into the butt and most will have a flared base to prevent them disappearing into the abyss. They will often be shaped like a cone meaning they will start with a small tip and become gradually larger and wider the closer to the base you get.
Butt plugs will usually be made from a smooth material such as silicone or soft plastic. But they can also be made from metal, glass and even wood.
Whilst their design may be simple, butt plugs are experts in providing hands free anal stimulation. Meaning you can tap into all those wonderful nerve endings hidden just out of reach.
It doesn’t take a genius to work out that these plugs are inserted into the anus.
Butt plugs can be worn during sexual intercourse, oral sex and for masturbation.
Butt plugs for beginners are both smaller and slimmer than those worn by more experienced players.
But you may be asking why? Why do people want to stick a plug up their bootie?
What Does a Butt Plug Do?
Whether you have a penis or a vagina, you will also have a butt, meaning anyone can wear a butt plug. Because inside of every bootie there are oodles of sexy nerve endings just waiting to be tantalised and teased. The problem is how do we get to them? Butt plugs are designed to reach this untapped pleasure zone effortlessly. Unafraid to seek out those pleasures that lie hidden just inside your backdoors, these marvellous sex toys can be the key to deeper, more powerful orgasms whether you wear them during sexual intercourse or for masturbation.
- Butt plugs gently widen the anus stretching the muscles giving the wearer a sensual sensation of fullness
- Butt plugs stimulate the nerve endings within the anus for intense sexual pleasure
- Butt plugs can create the feeling of a tighter vagina. Wearing a butt plug during sexual intercourse can lead to heightened stimulation for both partners
- Wearing a butt plug during oral sex will give your internal muscles something to grip adding another dimension of sensation. This is also true if you wear the butt plug for masturbation.
- Butt plugs can help us achieve anal orgasms – An anal orgasm will feel like intense waves of pleasure accompanied by an increase in heart rate and breathing. These waves will begin deep inside your body, rising up for an all-encompassing orgasm that touches every part of your quivering body
- Butt plugs for beginners are an exciting and safe way to explore anal play and are a wonderful way to train the body for anal sex
Choosing the Best Butt Plug for Beginners
If you are just starting out on your anal adventure then you are best opting for a small and slim butt plug. Starting small will allow you and your body to adjust, to enjoy and to get the most from the experience. Remember; using a butt plug should never hurt. If it does… STOP.
Choose a butt plug with a flared base or finger loop. This gives you peace of mind that your butt plug will stay where intended and not go off exploring alone. A flared base or finger loop also aids insertion.
Once you are familiar with your new booty toy the flared base or finger loop can be used to gently tug or twist the plug during play for bonus thrills.

How to Insert a Butt Plug
Get Clean
If you are going to play with the booty, be it your own or someone else’s, then you need to be realistic about poop. Butts are designed primarily to poop so its inevitable that at some point this may make an appearance. There are a few steps we can take to reduce this potential mood killer.
Use the toilet and empty your bowels about an hour before play
Take a long, hot, shower
Douche – this is optional, but it is a great way to clear the back passage of any poop and the shower is the best place for douching so it’s a win, win situation.
Ensure your butt plug is clean too. Nobody wants the remnants of the last playtime (Yuk!)
Get Lube
Unlike the vagina, the butt does not self-lubricate so lube is not optional; it’s essential. Whilst any water based lube could do the job, things will be much easier and much more fun with a thick anal lube.
Get Warmed Up
Your bottom will be far more forgiving of a butt plug if it feels aroused. Spend some time playing before diving straight in. Start with other areas of the body. Oral sex can be a great way to get going. Tease the area around the anus. Drawing circles with a well lubed finger is fabulously arousing. Experiment with sliding a finger, or two, in and out of the butt gently.
Get In
When it comes to actually inserting the butt plug:
Apply a generous amount of lube to yourself and the butt plug
There are a few positions that are tried and tested for easier insertion. Doggy style with the plug inserted from behind. Lying on your back with your legs spread or you may prefer squatting over the plug on either your feet or your knees.
Slowly insert the plug a little bit at a time. Take deep breaths and give your body time to adjust to the plug before inserting any more. Don’t feel you need to insert the whole plug. Just go with what ever feels comfortable for you.
The flared base of the plug should remain on the outside of your body for safety.
Once the plug is inserted there is no need for you to hold it. It should stay put whatever you do decide to get up to.
What Is an Anal Douche and What Does It Do?
A douche is a squeezable bulb with a slim protruding nozzle that is inserted into the anus in order to flush out any nastiness.
To use a douche – fill it with warm (but not hot) water. Then add a little water-based anal lube on the clean nozzle, insert gently and adjust to the angle of your body. Now slowly squeeze the bulb of the douche to insert the water into your anal passage. Hold for a moment before allowing it to drain from your body. Continue until you are happy everything running back out is clear and clean.
