Butt plugs are plentiful. Any good online sex toy store will stock several pages of butt plugs and their close variants. It is the quintessential sex toy for back door stimulation and often the first thing that you picture in your mind when you think about anal toys.
These conceptions are not misplaced however, the best butt plug for men or women is capable of skyrocketing the pleasure of your orgasms into otherworldly dimensions. How so?

Anal plugs work differently, they provide a constant pressure and filling sensation in the anus. The stretching sensation through the sphincter is highly erotic, but it takes getting used to so anal training plugs are you best option. More on that later.
The steady anal pleasure does not change so you can enjoy masturbation, foreplay, role play and penetrative sex all while maintaining anal pleasure to boost the enjoyment of your sex life while the butt plug stays in one spot for the duration.
Couples who do not want to have anal sex can use a butt plug to a similar effect, many good butt plugs you'll find online are small (I get it, a penis in the backdoor can be scary!) Even though you're not touching the butt plug, you're still technically enjoying anal play all hands-free. It works equally good for men and women.
What Butt Plug Material is Best?
Not surprisingly, the answer is similar – everyone has their favorite personal pick. Here is a quick breakdown on four of our best selling and most popular butt plug materials, in order of popularity:
- Silicone Butt Plugs – Our best selling butt plug material. The silky feeling surface grabs lube and doesn't drip as much as metal or glass. It is the easiest butt plug material to insert. Silicone can be molded into a variety of shapes so if you'd like a toy with variety in its design, this is the best choice. It also has a similar density and texture as PVC, but a much more hygienic substitute; it is non-porous.
- TPE or TPR Butt Plugs - TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) and TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) are inexpensive sex toy materials and make some of the best cheap butt plugs. They are molded and can be crafted in a vast range of shapes and sizes. Some are porous, so never share these anal toys between partners. All our TPE and TPR plugs are body safe and non toxic. Many sex toy manufacturers now lab test their TPE sex toys for phthalates.
- Glass Butt Plugs – Butt plugs made of glass are heavy, solid and substantial, the sensation cannot be compared to any other material. It is the most hygienic option since they are completely non-porous and hypoallergenic. Compatible with all anal lube, even oils. Glass butt plugs are made of heavy duty shatter resistant Borosilicate, which is similar to Pyrex dishware.
- Metal Butt Plugs – The best butt plug for temperature play which involves putting the toy in the freezer for a few minutes before insertion to add a thrilling chill. You can also dip in hot water, another form of temperature play. Aluminum and non-tarnishing metals are prevalent, and the solid structure feels more intense compared to silicone or rubber materials.

Butt Plugs Tips & Advice: Enjoying your New Anal Toy
I won't go into detail with instructions on how to use a butt plug since I'm assuming you're not a total sex toy newbie, however I will provide some Sexpert pointers to make using anal toys a more enjoyable experience.
- Use an anal lube launcher - Some of the best butt plugs are slightly above a true beginner friendly size, so simply rimming the anus with a lubricated finger might not be enough to distribute lube deep into the rectum. In this case, a lube applicator tube is your best friend! Apply lube deep to make sure everything is slick and wet when your butt plug travels through.
- Exhale during insertion - If you are inserting an anal toy that is a bit of a stretch for you (pun intended!) breathe out as it goes in. This helps to prevent subconscious muscle flexing around the anus. If you tighten you muscles, inserting a butt plug can be uncomfortable. Exhale during penetration to naturally help the body to relax.
- Does your butt plug keep falling out? This is a common problem for some people. If the anal sphincter is really tight, it will naturally try to push anything out that invades its space, so to speak. If this happens, choose a butt plug with a thin stem and a flared body. The spade shape will literally plug the backside of the anal sphincter and your plug won't fall out anymore.
- Cleaning & care - Any lube will do, but I recommend anal lube which is thicker and more viscous than a sex toy or vaginal lube. Choose water-based lube primarily as it is easy to wash away when you're done. Also sterilize your toys with a proper antibacterial sex toy cleaner to remove fecal bacteria that may linger if not properly washed.
