Why Use a Butt Plug?
Let’s kick off with some general benefits that everyone can enjoy!
- They stimulate the anus. We often think of the penis or vulva as the main event due to their sensitivity, but the anus is also dense with sensitive nerve endings that feel fantastic when stimulated. Butt plugs provide subtle anal stimulation as your body moves.
- Butt plugs can enhance your orgasms. When you climax, the muscles in your genital region, including the pelvic floor and anal sphincter contract rapidly. Having something like a butt plug to contract around can intensify the sensation.
- They provide hands-free stimulation. Once your plug is in place, your hands are free for whatever fun takes your fancy.
- As well as the feeling of fullness you get while wearing your plug, they provide a pleasant pop as you insert and remove them.
- You can use butt plugs to prepare for anal sex with a dildo or penis. Small butt plugs for beginners and anal training kits offer a way to ease into anal play. This is perfect if you want to try anal sex with a penis or dildo but are nervous about the size. You can build up slowly over time and use your plug to warm up directly before anal penetration.
- The wide variety of butt plugs allows you to explore a whole range of sensations.
- It gives you a new way to explore what feels good in your body!

Benefits of Butt Plugs for Vulva Owners
On top of all the glorious reasons above, vulva owners can also reap some unique rewards from butt plugs during solo or partnered sex.
- As well as stimulating the anus, butt plugs can stimulate the A-spot (anterior fornix), which can be found at the top, back of the vagina. Some people find they can even have an A-spot orgasm!
- Wearing a butt plug can increase stimulation in the vagina, due to the pressure against the vaginal wall. This also creates a tighter fit during penetration for even more pleasure! canal
- Butt plugs are a great way to enjoy double penetration with a partner’s penis or dildo. As well as the thrill of having both your vagina and anus penetrated at the same time, the increased pressure can lead to some incredibly intense pleasure!
What About Penis Owners?
Fear not, butt plugs are equally as pleasurable for the penis owners out there! Pop one in while you masturbate, during sex, or as a warm up for other types of anal play to discover all the back door benefits!
- Butt plugs can stimulate the prostate gland (p-spot). Also known as the male g-spot for it’s orgasmic potential, the p-spot can feel fantastic when stimulated. Some people can even enjoy prostate orgasms, which can be even more intense than penile orgasms and felt in the whole body. And, if you can master having a prostate only orgasm without ejaculation, which is possible, you can then experience multiple orgasms! Treat yourself to a prostate massager for some deeply satisfying prostate pleasure!

Different sizes
There is a size of butt plug to match every single taste! From tiny butt plugs fit for first timers right up to eye wateringly huge butt plugs for those who crave the ultimate stretch and fullness. Inflatable plugs are another great option if you want to explore stretching. The bigger the butt plug, the more intense the sensations, but also the more difficult it is to insert.
