Butt plugs are designed to be inserted and held in place by the rectal muscles without causing discomfort. The flared end stops it from entering too far into the rectum, whist giving stimulation and pleasure. There is a huge range of styles and shapes ranging from the vibrating to the inflating and ejaculating. When choosing a butt plug, especially for the first time, start small and work up. You don’t want to end up with something too big that scares you. The key to successful use is relaxation and trust, which won’t happen if you’re faced with a monster of a toy. Always use a good lubrication and lots of it, don’t be shy about using it, and if you feel you need a whole tube then use it. One of the advantages of a butt plug is that it can be worn during vaginal intercourse (by either partner) leading to intense sensations.
