Butt Plugs

Made of silicone, latex, or vinyl, butt plugs come in many different sizes, but they all have a similar shape with slight variations: they are usually narrowest at the top, thickest in the middle, and narrow at the base, which is flared. Some are diamond shaped, others are rippled with segments going from small to large. The great thing about butt plugs is that they were made for your butt. The flared base ensures that a plug won't get "lost" or go too far inside the rectum.

Butt plugs can be inserted in the anus and worn for a period of time. Because of their shape, they are designed to stay in place rather than be pushed in and out as the sphincter muscles close around the narrow bottom. They give your ass a feeling of fullness. Butt plugs provide a great way to get your ass used to having something in it; the longer the plug stays in, the more the anal muscles tend to relax and open up. Using a series of different sizes of plugs can help you work up to having something larger in your anus, like a dildo or penis. Some people like to have a plug inside their anus while their partner stimulates their genitals or other areas of the body. There are harnesses on the market that help keep plugs in place so you can actually "wear" one for an extended amount of time. If your partner loves having her nipples sucked while her ass is fucked, or if you want to concentrate on sucking his penis and he wants something up his butt, you could feel like you're playing Twister. A butt plug is a great solution!

You may purchase the smallest plug available in order to be realistic and then find it's too small. I've heard plenty of stories from women who insert a slim plug only to have it slip out—or even shoot out across the room—at a crucial moment. If this happens to you, you don't necessarily have to run back to the store for a bigger one. If you've been doing your pelvic muscle exercises, your sphincter muscles should be strong enough to hold the plug in. (In fact, your partner "making" you hold a plug inside your ass can be a fun and sexy exercise itself.) Many of us can contract our muscles around the plug and grip it. Others may want to start with a slimmer size to warm up, then find a medium-sized one for extended plug play.
