How To Choose
A flared base is non-negotiable
This is the one rule that matters most. Unlike other intimate areas, the anus has no natural stopping point, so anything inserted must have a base wider than the body of the toy to keep it safely external and easy to retrieve. Every plug in this guide has a proper flared base. Never improvise with items that lack one, and treat the flared base as the single most important safety feature, full stop.
Choose body-safe materials and the right lubricant
Stick to non-porous, body-safe materials such as silicone, stainless steel, or glass, which can be thoroughly cleaned and will not harbor bacteria. Critically, the anus does not self-lubricate, so use a generous amount of water-based lubricant and reapply often. Avoid silicone lubricant with silicone toys, as it degrades the surface over time. Water-based lube is the safe, universal choice that works beautifully with everything here.
Start small, go slow, and relax
Comfort comes from patience, not force. Begin with the smallest size, take a warm bath or breathe deeply to relax the muscles, and insert slowly using plenty of lube. If you feel resistance, pause, breathe, and let your body adjust rather than pushing through. Sizing up gradually over several sessions is exactly how seasoned enthusiasts build comfort. There is no rush, and going slowly is the surest path to a genuinely pleasurable experience.
FAQ
Are butt plugs safe for beginners?
Absolutely, when you choose wisely and take your time. Start with a small, tapered, body-safe silicone plug that has a flared base, like the ROMP Bass. Use plenty of water-based lubricant, relax, and insert slowly. As long as you respect the flared-base rule and never rush, anal play is a safe and approachable way to explore new sensations.
Why does the flared base matter so much?
Because the anus, unlike the vagina, has no closed end to stop a toy from traveling further inside. A base that is wider than the rest of the plug keeps it safely positioned and easy to remove. Only ever use toys specifically designed for anal play with a clear flared base, every plug we recommend includes one.
What kind of lubricant should I use?
A generous amount of water-based lubricant is the right answer for almost everyone. The anus does not produce its own lubrication, so reapply frequently. Avoid silicone-based lube with silicone toys, since it can break down the material over time. Water-based lube is body-safe, easy to clean up, and compatible with the silicone, steel, and glass plugs in this guide.
How do I clean and care for my butt plug?
Non-porous materials like silicone, stainless steel, and glass make cleanup simple. Wash with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap before and after every use, or use a dedicated toy cleaner. For rechargeable, splash-proof plugs, avoid fully submerging the charging port. Let everything dry completely and store it somewhere clean, cool, and discreet.
What size should I start with, and how do I size up?
Always begin with the smallest, slimmest option you have and focus on comfort rather than measurements. Once a size feels genuinely easy and pleasurable across a few sessions, you can move up gradually. Many people find a beginner plug like the ROMP Bass is all they ever want, while others enjoy working toward more filling options at their own pace. Let your body, not a number, set the timeline.
