Butt Plugs

This is one of our largest departments, with more than 270 butt plugs from €4.95 to €129.95; half cost under €22. About half are silicone, the rest PVC, metal, stainless steel or glass. Brands include Ouch!, Doc Johnson, XR Brands, Levelz, Crushious, Loveline and Rocks-Off.

Size: start smaller than you think

Look at two numbers on the product page: the insertable length and the widest diameter. Most of our plugs are under 10 cm insertable and 3 to 4 cm wide. For a first plug, about 2.5 to 3 cm wide is comfortable, for example the Shots Toys Slim Beginner Butt Plug (€9.95), the Crushious Jolly (9 cm insertable, 2.5 cm wide, €4.95) or the Rocks-Off Teazer (€19.95). Width matters far more than length.

Trainer sets

A set of two to four plugs in rising sizes lets you build up step by step: the Sono No.80 4-Piece Butt Plug Set (€18.95), the XR Brands Triple Spire (3 pieces, €25.95), the Doc Johnson Anal Trainer Set in S, M and L (€26.95) and the Satisfyer Booty Absolute Beginners 4 (€30.95).

Material

Silicone is soft, warm, non-porous and the most comfortable for long wear. Metal and stainless steel plugs are heavier, smooth and firm, and can be warmed or cooled in water; the Ouch! Paris, Venice and Milan metal plug sets and the Crushious Camileo with four interchangeable jewels (€12.95) are popular. Glass is smooth, firm and easy to clean. PVC is cheaper and softer but porous, so wash it well and use a condom if you share it. For heavy solid steel, see steel butt plugs.

Shape and base

A tapered tip makes insertion easier, the narrow neck is what the muscle closes around, and the flared base keeps the plug outside the body. A plug without a proper base should never be used anally. A T-shaped or slim base is more comfortable when you sit or wear it longer. Weighted plugs, like the XR Brands Premium Silicone Weighted Anal Plug (€18.95) or the Prowler Red Weighted Butt Plug (€20.95), add a heavier sense of fullness when you move.

Vibrating, remote and inflatable plugs

Vibrating plugs add stimulation to the fullness: the Rocks-Off Petite Sensations (€21.95) are small and easy, the Levelz vibrating plugs (€32.95 to €34.95) are silicone with a loop, and the Loveline vibrating plugs with remote control (€34.95) let a partner take over. Inflatable plugs, like the Levelz Ribbed or Beaded Inflatable (€23.95), grow inside with a hand pump, so you set the size yourself.

Lubricant and care

Always use plenty of lubricant: the body does not lubricate itself here. Use a water-based or hybrid lubricant with silicone plugs, because silicone lubricant can damage silicone. With metal and glass, any lubricant works, and silicone lubricant lasts longer. Wash before and after use with warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner, and dry fully.
