Size is one of the most important factors to consider when buying a butt plug. You can typically buy butt plugs in the following sizes:
- Extra small (< 1 inch diameter): for total anal first-timers
- Small (1-1.25 inch): ideal for beginners
- Medium (1.25-1.5 inch): best suited for someone looking to level up their anal game
- Large (1.5-2 inch): ideal for providing more intense sensation
If you’re not sure what size butt plug is best for you, take a look at our blog post on picking the right size butt plug.
Test Winner SquarePegToys Egg Plug
- Flexible not solid material
- 100% platinum grade silicone
- 3.5-inch length and 4.1-inch circumference
Pros
- ✅ High quality platinum grade silicone
- ✅ Ergonomic design for long-term wear
- ✅ Soft and squishy for extra comfort
- ✅ Available in 9 sizes for customized experience

Cons
- ❌ The flexibility can actually make insertion a little difficult

Why I Chose It
Some of us are introverts and need a little helping hand to be more outgoing in this life… That’s totally fine, and exactly what this little butt egg can help you out with! The SquarePegToys Egg Plug is the perfect plug for those who want something to wear all day or when they’re out and about in public. It’s okay if its your first time entering the outside world with a butt plug as this is going to be the best butt toy to help you take those first steps! The super soft and squishy platinum grade silicone makes for a very comfortable wear once it’s inserted and the thicker neck between the body and the base gives a satisfying yet comfortable stretch once it’s in.
Flora our tester said that “The Egg Plug was unlike any toy in my collection!” She really loved the tapered end and how comfortable it was once inserted. Yet she did have a harder time inserting it compared to other butt plugs. “The neck is a little too flexible and buckles easily under pressure (like the kind of pressure you use when you’re trying to insert a butt plug!).” Although, with a bit of effort and stability the mission was complete. Keep in mind that this may be an issue for anyone who struggles with limited grip strength or for complete beginners.
Some may find that the base is a bit more bulky than you would like it to be for public play. If you’re not blessed with a dump truck that can hide it, you may want to avoid tight clothes when you’re trying to fly incognito with this egg plug in your butt! All in all, I think the SquarePegToys Egg Plug is a great option for a lot of different experience levels. I love that it’s available in so many different sizes and colors. The price is also very reasonable for a high quality butt plug like this. Add to cart!

Best for Beginners b-Vibe Novice Plug Small Butt Plug
- Vibrating butt plug
- 4 inch length
- 60 minute battery life
Pros
- ✅ Ideal shape and size for abslute anal beginners
- ✅ Easy to clean
- ✅ Very quiet
- ✅ Remote controlled
- ✅ Powerful vibrations
Cons
- ❌ Magnetic charger is not super strong
- ❌ Can be too small for more experienced users
Vibrations:
Why I Chose It
We all have a back side but some of us are braver than others to actually use it. Well take my hand (preferably this B-Vibe Novice Butt Plug) and take your first steps into anal exploration. The b-Vibe Novice Plug is an ideal beginner butt plug for anyone looking to dip their toes into the amazing sensations of anal play. This silicone butt plug has a slim and tapered tip for easy insertion and a T-shaped base to keep the plug safely in place – it’s the perfect size for extended wear and with a shape that feels comfortable to wear while using other sex toys.
The b-Vibe Novice Plug can of course be used with or without the vibrations. If you’re just starting out, maybe start off without and then turn them on as your confidence grows. Our tester Jess even loved using it with her partner, expressing that “the remote control allows you to relinquish all the controls to your partner and let them decide which sensations you should enjoy!” This toy has many features as a growth toy – you can use it with no vibrations and move up from there – a great investment toy!
The downfall? For a beginners toy, it is pretty expensive and definitely not the most budget friendly plug on the market. Also for a beginner, they may prefer something a lot softer and more flexible, as it can be easier and more comfortable. The colour pink might be seen as a more female targeted colour, therefor making this toy less gender neutral than it should be – That being said, it is still a great first time anal toy!
Budget-Friendly Lovehoney Jewelled Iridescent Butt Plug
- Weighted metal butt plug
- Compatible with all types of lube
- 2.5 inches of insertable length
Pros
- ✅ Ideal for beginners due to its small size
- ✅ Visually appealing with an iridescent color
- ✅ Comfortable for extended wear
- ✅ Compatible with all types of lubes
Cons

Why I Chose It
Fancy a bit more body jewellery but don’t like the piercing needle? Well then why haven’t you tried a jewel butt plug?! The Lovehoney Secret Shine Iridescent butt plug is the perfect toy to bedazzle your behind, with its’ iridescent colours and beautiful gem that sticks out to show the world your attractive down under! It’s sleek, rounded spade-shaped body gives it a smooth, gentle glide on entrance, while the flared base gives you peace of mind that it will stay in place, and not travel too far up the canal.
For my budget-friendly pick, I wanted to make sure it had a cheap price tag, but not look like it had a cheap price tag. So I’ve chosen the toy that looks like the Ferrari of butt plugs, but costs more of a Honda… Keep those saved coins for the real thing, why don’t you? Our tester Felicia passed the plug with flying (iridescent) colours, saying that “Initially, I thought its’ small size might be underwhelming, but I was quite wrong! The weight also feels just right, providing a satisfying pressure.”
It’s comfortable for long periods, making even the most mundane tasks a bit more exciting. Definitely a great pick for beginners or those who prefer something more discreet and visually appealing. It’s a top pick for those wanting to get the most out of their buck!

Best Metal njoy Pure Plug Stainless Steel Butt Plug
- Comes in multiple sizes that get bigger
- Unique shape for comfort
- 100% made of metal
Pros
- ✅ Adjusts to your body temperature
- ✅ High quality stainless steel
- ✅ Smooth and easy to insert
- ✅ Choice of three different sizes
- ✅ Suitable for all genders
Cons
- ❌ Pricey
- ❌ Tip isn't too tapered
Why I Chose It
In my opinion, the butt plug is a must have in your collection. Let’s start with the aesthetics – looking at this toy, it has a sleek, polished design that is a unique shape and small enough to carry with you anywhere you go! It’s designed for incredibly easy insertion and the weight gives the illusion of a bigger, more filling plug. The loop handle also makes it much easier to insert and remove. I love that it’s keeps the plug anchored securely outside the body. The only downfall with that is that it is difficult to sit down comfortably with it in, so a flatter base would be better for you if you were planning on wearing it to the desk job!
The Pure Plug does have a high price tag, but I would say it is worth it as every single piece of this toy, from the box it comes in, to the mould it was cast in, was built with your pleasure in mind. Made of 316 grade stainless steel, this butt plug is one of the most durable weighted anal toys you will ever come across — it really is a toy for life! Rachel, our tester who has given it the trial run and her honest opinion on how much she liked it, expressed her comments on it being a butt plug made from metal – “At first, the cold steel came as a bit of a shock! After a second or two, though, it warmed up and went in very easily. I wasn’t sure how I would like the weightiness of it, but I was pleasantly surprised! It felt substantial and satisfying inside.” Need we say anymore…?
This mini but mighty plug is a great toy to add to your collection, as a way of introducing temperature play and a bit more pressure to your behind. Who wouldn’t want a pocket sized miracle of a toy? It’s perfect!

Best Vibrating Lovense Hush 2 Vibrating Butt Plug
- Cannot be used with certain phones or phone upgrades
- Doesn’t have remote control
Pros
- ✅ Powerful, rumbly vibrations
- ✅ App-controlled
- ✅ Ideal for long distance couples
- ✅ Improved smooth design
- ✅ Tapered tip for easy insertion
Cons
- ❌ App connectivity can be a bit unstable
- ❌ Doesn't work with some phone models
Vibrations:
Why I Chose It
Are you someone who likes to be spoiled? Well thank me later, as I am about to do just that. The Hush 2 does pretty much everything you would love a butt plug to do – it can be used with or without vibrations, as a standard, filling butt plug. it can be connected to the phone app and be controlled by you or a partner, even if they are on the other-side of the planet! And if that wasn’t enough, the app has many special features like connecting the vibrations to music or even video games! It’s perfect for private or public play and for most experience levels.
Flora our tester, gives us her opinions based on her personal experience of the butt plug – “Despite the intimidating size, the ergonomic shape slid smoothly inside. It was truly the most beautiful, prolonged orgasm I’ve ever experienced.” I would recommend this toy to a slightly more experienced toy user, just because of the larger size and the vibrations possibly being slightly overwhelming for a complete beginner.
One of the most important features’ of a butt plug has to be the flared base, because if it is not big enough it could possibly be dangerous! You really don’t want that getting stuck up there and having to take a trip to the ER… The Hush 2 has a great flared base that is flat enough for you to wear every day, but also if you want to take a seat. The one major downfall is the price – you’re really paying a high price for this gadget. In my opinion, it’s totally worth it, but it depends what your bank statement is saying that month.
Best Glass Icicles No.48 Glass Butt plug
- Tapered tip for easy insertion
- Wide, round base
- Non-porous, hypoallergenic, borosilicate glass
Pros
- ✅ Adorable design
- ✅ Tapered tip for easy insertion
- ✅ Easy to clean
- ✅ Great for temperature play
Cons
- ❌ Might be too small for experienced users
- ❌ Slippery when used with lube
Why I Chose It
I am going to be very honest, I have always been a little scared of glass butt plugs (for the obvious reason…) but I thought I would give it a go with this one. Well well well, I have had my eyes opened wide! (and another thing!) I have been wasting my time not trying this brilliant glass toy, that is reasonably priced and of course gorgeous to look at!
Our tester Kasia passed this toy with a raving review – “I had the pleasure of testing this cute butt plug, and I am happy to report this is a keeper!” Not only did she think the Icicles No. 48 Glass Butt Plug is one of the prettiest anal toys she’d ever seen, but it’s also a great quality butt plug that’s “surprisingly suitable for a lot of different levels of experience!” This is the perfect-sized plug both for adventurous beginners and for those of you who are experienced with anal fun.
The beautiful rose-flared base doesn’t just make your booty look pretty; it also works as a flared stopper. However, this design does have a gradual flare, which isn’t as safe as a glass butt plug with a t-shaped bar or a ring stopper. Keep that in mind if you want to be completely sure that this one won’t slip inside you! Due to the large base, this cute butt plug isn’t that comfortable to sit down in, so it might not be the best option for long-term wear. But if you wanted ti for a moment of short stimulation, then it’s perfect to use for PIV sex.
Best Set Biird Regii Butt Plug Set
- Made of silicone
- Gradual increase in sizing
- Premium velvet bag packaging
Pros
- ✅ Beautifully soft silicone
- ✅ Comfortable to wear
- ✅ Asymmetrical base
- ✅ Two different sizes
- ✅ Lovely velvet storage bag
Cons
- ❌ Too small for more advanced tastes
Why I Chose It
As someone who gets bored easily, I like to have a range of options that I can flick through, so that I am always entertained. With this Biird Regii Butt Plug Set, you’ll have the most easy and smooth introduction to butt toys as well as progressive toys that can help you advance in the world of anal play. Who else hates being ready to move on but not having the tools to do so straight away? Well by buying a set, you’ll have them ready to go, whenever you’re ready to go.
Our tester Is had the same positive review as I did, expressing that “They are some of the nicest quality silicone I have ever touched and just the perfect size!” Biird are known for their simple but high quality toys – the flared base on these butt plugs is safe and comfortable, even if you wanted to take a seat. Not just the plugs themselves, but the velvet bag it comes in and the cilinder box is all apart of the unboxing experience! From the packaging to actually using it is a 5 star experience.
The only downfall is that it is not a set that you can really progress with – it is just great for a beginner level anal explorer. It would be better if the set came with more plugs that got larger, to include the Intermediate customer collective. Otherwise, I simply cannot fault these butt plugs – the quality, ease of use and overall sensual experience has no faults. I can only recommend adding this to your collection, or even starting your collection!

How to Choose the Best Butt Plug Size for You
Generally speaking, plugs will be available in one of five sizes: XS, S, M, L, and XL. Most people start with a small plug, although extra small plugs can be a good option for those with smaller bodies or genuine worries.
From there, sizes simply get larger and larger until you start approaching large plugs, which are generally ideal for those comfortable with anal sex. Extra Large toys are available for size queens and kings who’re constantly chasing after a truly fulfilling “fill”.
Here’s a quick overview of the different sizes you’ll see!
Size | Length (in inches) | Diameter (in inches) |
XS | Under 3 | <1 |
S | 2 – 3 | 1 – 1.25 |
M | 3 – 4 | 1.25 – 1.5 |
L | 4 – 6 | 1.75 – 2 |
XL | 6< | 2< |

More on the width (thickness in diameter)
Names | Sizes (Diameter) | Notes |
---|---|---|
Tiny / Mini / Petite | < 1 inch | Smaller than what I would recommend for even your first time butt plug. I would advise choosing this size if you have already tried something with a diameter of a small butt plug, and felt discomfort. These are some of the smallest anal sex toys out there. |
Small | 1 – 1.25 inches | The perfect beginner butt plug size. You can even go to medium, but I would advice to be cautious and start at this size with your very first butt plug. |
Medium | 1.25 – 1.5 inches | Not quite the novice, but also not quite ready to go all the way huge? |
Big / Large | 1.5 – 2 inches | These butt plugs are big for anyone. It is important to keep in mind, that butt plugs typically have a wider diameter at the widest spot than most |
XL / Jumbo / Huge | > 2 inches | All right, so you are interested in a huge butt plug? We’ll your range is typically anything over 2 inches at least. But remember, everyone is different, and naming sizes in this fashion is somewhat subjective. |
However, we are not completely done with different types of butt plug sizes just yet.
The observants ones might have noticed, that I only used diameter as a measure og size.
And if you have already read our butt plug sizing guide, then you will know, that width and length are too very different things.
If you own, or have researched the best anal training kits, then you will also know that a kit typically contains a longer butt plug as well as the typical incrementally larger plugs only.
We use the terminology:
- Thick or wide butt plug to describe plugs with a large diameter measurement.
- Thin, narrow or skinny butt plug to descibe plugs with a small diameter measurement.
- Long or deep butt plug to describe long butt plugs with a large length measurement.
- And only short butt plug. Typically butt plugs won’t be that long, and you won’t see short as a descriptor in shops or in our anal toy reviews.
What things to look for
Before rushing off to spend some quality time with your butt plug, here are some of the most important factors to consider before settling on the toy you want:
Size
One of the most important things to take into consideration before buying a butt plug is its size.
If your butt plug is too small, it’s not going to feel great, but if it’s too big, you won’t even manage to get it in!
Shape
The most common butt plug shape is slightly acorn-esque and girthy, but you don’t have to go straight for a girthy toy!
Some butt toys have curved tips, making them more optimized for stimulating the prostate.
Materials
When buying a toy that is going to be used exclusively in the anus, you’re going to want to prioritize the highest quality materials.
We recommend opting for non-porous materials for butt plugs, like metal, silicone, glass, or ABS plastic.
Functions
Do you want a vibrating butt plug, an inflatable butt plug, or a thrusting butt plug? The world is your oyster!
Area of stimulation
If you want to stimulate the pressure nerves in the anus, a girthier butt plug is ideal.
For p-spot stimulation, go for a curved tip!
Experience level
Another of the most important factors to take into consideration – experience!
It’s always best to start off with beginner butt plugs and work your way up to the more advanced anal toys
Price
If your budget is limited, we made to sure to include some cheaper alternatives in our review.
You don’t need to compromise on quality when it comes to buying cheap sex toys – you just have to let us help you find the best ones!
How are Butt Plugs Different From Other Anal Toys?
Butt plugs are commonly known as the go-to anal toy for those interested in anal play. Here’s how a butt plug differs from other types of anal toys:
Butt Plug vs. Anal Beads
While anal beads might seem pretty intimidating, the concept behind this toy is pretty simple – and it can feel amazing when used correctly! Anal beads are basically lots of bead or nubs, attched to a cord, which is then inserted into the anus. The beaded texture stimulates the nerves in the anus during both insertion and removal, making it ideal for some anal fun.
The main difference between a butt plug and anal beads is that a butt plug is much typically girthier and smooth in texture, while the anal beads are thin but heavily ribbed (well, beaded.) Both these anal toys come in vibrating versions if you want to take your anal play up a notch.
Butt Plug vs. Anal Vibrator
Anal vibrators are different from butt plugs in the fact that they’re buzzy (or rumbly) and designed to create pleasure waves via internal vibrations. You can also find anal vibrators in a large variety of shapes, while butt plugs tend to be girthy and acorn-shaped.
Butt Plug vs. Anal Dildos
Like anal vibrators, Anal dildos come in all shapes, sizes, and forms. While a butt plug is typically designed to remain static in the anus (aka you don’t need to push it in and out of the anus), an anal dildo is designed to penetrate the anus. This can be done either manually using your hands, or via a suction cup. That’s pretty much the main difference between a butt plug and an anal dildo. Anal dildos are also typically more diverse, while most butt plugs conform to a certain style and are best used during foreplay.
Materials
In this next section I will briefly take you through the different types of butt plug materials that you can choose between (or stumble upon in your collection).
Afterwards, I’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each and make a fight night out of it (e.g. “glass butt plug vs. metal butt plug”).
- Glass butt plug – made from borascilate glass, that is pretty much impossible to break (don’t try). Can be heated up or cooled down for extra sensation. Very hard.
- Metal butt plug – made from stainless steel most commonly, they offer a super hard shell and are great as weighted butt plugs.
- Silicone butt plug – the most common and body-safe material for any plug. They have a softer outer shell and typically a hard core, so that you don’t have a completely squishy toy at your hands.
- Stay away from: TPE butt plugs, Rubber butt plugs, Latex butt plugs (except inflatable ones, but I will get to this).
Glass butt plug vs. metal butt plug
Very much a impossible decision as both materials offer slightly the same thing:
- Hardness: As both materials are very hard by default, what you are getting is a toy that will stimulate you more intensensly that e.g. silicone.
- Conclusion: No real difference in material.
- Temperature play: Here is the main difference between glass and metal. At first, with any metal sex toys the toy will typically be very cold at first. Compared to glass you will most likely find stainless steel is a lot colder when you first grab it. It also heats up slower than glass. However, this is also a benifit: The glass can be heated up but will loose heat a lot faster than a metal butt plug. And vice versa, if you cool it down it will warm up a lot faster than the metal version.
- Conclusion: Metal wins if you like longer temperature play sessions and are ok with a cold toy at start, Glass wins if you want to get going right the second you pull it out of the drawer.
- Safety: Chosing the best and most safe glass butt plug is important! And arguably, if you have choosen a safe one from a reputable brand like Icicles it should be almost as safe as a metal one. But of course, glass can break. And it will a lot easier than metal ones.
- Conclusion: Metal wins
Butt plug shapes
Let’s quickly run over some classic types of butt plug shapes and ‘textures’.
And then. I promise.
We will get to the good stuf!
Round – classic type of butt plug shape
Admitely, this Snug Plug from B-vibe actually has more of a square-ish shape to it.
But you get the overall idea.
A round (ish) bulb at the very top, and a thin base.
These are the very classic types of butt plug you will see.
Pointy
A pointy butt plug can have both a thinner base, like the Rimming Plug 2 from B-vibe that we have reviewed.
But it can also have the shape of a cone. I would personally then categorize it as a anal dildo instead though. That being said, it’s not unusual for me to see sexshops use the terms almost interchangeably.
A funny thing, that I’ve notices is that typically if you buy a anal vibrator type butt plug they come almost exclusively in a pointy shape.
P-spot stimulation (prostate butt plug)
This type of butt plug is very similar to the pointy, however you will always see it has a curved shape.
Apart from that a prostate massager like this one can take so many different shapes (beaded, tapered, knotted, smooth and curved).
We have a wonderful review of the Lovense Edge 2 (the toy in the picture)
Beaded butt plugs
The sharp reader will notice, that we are out on a stretch when it comes to a beaded butt plug.
Actually, most people refer to this type of anal toy as anal beads.
Therefore I also choose pictures from our review of the Satisfyer Booty calls Plugs, as they are very much the merging of a plug and anal beads.
And I truly beleive this should be categorized as a type of butt plug, as there is a big difference between softer anal beads, and then the stiffer version of beaded butt plugs
Different types of butt plug bases
Name / Terminology | Description | Good for… |
---|---|---|
T-bar (T-base) | Looks likethe letter T. Typycally with the upper bar shaped upwards or downwards. | Long term wear, and for stimulating the scrotum. |
Round base | Similar to bases found on suction cup dildos. Round with a thin stilk going to the bulb of the butt plug. | Use during sex with no intention to pull it during climax. |
Wide base | Can be either T-bar or round, but just wider (in diameter or T-bar lenght. | If you have anal stretched, can gape wide, and don’t want to run any risks. |
With handle | Typically shaped as a round grib. | Good for solo use, or if your partner want to time your orgasm with pulling out your anal plug. |
With string | Can have a small ring to grib around, but are mostly found on anal beads and anal balls. | Good forpartnered sex, not as great for solo adventures. |
Advanced butt plugs (vibrating, rotating, thrusting and remote controlled)
There are so many advanced and technology driven butt plugs out there.
So if you thought, that your options were limited to choosen between a combination of the different the shapes and materials think again.
Let me introduce you to some of my favorite types of advanced butt plugs out there.
Let’s start out simple.
Vibrating butt plug
The Lovense Hush 2 on the image is one of the absolute best vibrating butt plugs out there – at least based on our reviews!
Most vibrating butt plugs at affordable prices do not come with a remote control.
Some use small bullet vibrators, that are inserted at the base of the toy, which is typically how they become less expensive. And in addition, you also get a free bullet vibe!
So don’t worry, you don’t have to re-morgage to afford a butt plug that can vibrate. But the Lovense Hush is just SO GOOD, that you might want to consider spending the few extra bucks on it. It’ll make for a perfect couples butt plug!
Rotating butt plug
A rotating butt plug is very different from a vibrating. Maybe it’s self evident, because vibrations and rotations are very different.
But the stimulation you receive from either type is also not even comparable!
A lot of rotation butt plugs are actually made to stimulate the prostate (you have to be born with that small magic gland to gain from that type of stimulation).
But worry not, if you don’t have a prostate gland you can also get a lot of fun and joy out of using a rotating butt plug.
Thrusting butt plug
Again, very different than “just” vibrations.
A thrusting anal dildo or butt plug) will simulate penetrational anal sex hands free!
Some might also come with vibrations and the ability to remotly control them, like the one in the picture.
The only disadvantage of thrusting butt plugs is, that it actually is not quite like ‘real’ anal penetration, as the main part of the thrusting will be inside you. Some movement will also translate into the base, but not quite as much
Remote control butt plugs (the perfect couples butt plug)
I’ve been over quite a few different butt plugs with mechanical functions. And my recommendation for a butt plug is alsways to buy it with a remote or app connectivity.
Especially if you plan to use it as a couple, having the ability to remote control your partners butt plug just make for the perfect couples anal toy
Fantasy butt plugs (and tail butt plugs)
Do you want a fantasy butt plug, that brings out your inner animal? Then a tail butt plug is something for you.
It is really only your own imagination that are the boundary for the type of animal tail you can get.
And also even a combination of previously mentions types, means that you can get your hands on a vibrating tail butt plug. You can be a buzzing cat or a thrusting dragon. Or your partner can remotly control their new favorite butt plug wearing unicorn.
Here are some of the different types of tails for butt plugs:
- Fox
- Rabbit / bunny
- Unicorn
- Dragon
- Pig
- Cat
- Dog
- Pikachu (yes, the pokemon)
- Kitsune (three tailed sexy fox)
- Devils tail
Best for anal stretching
Here is a list of the different butt plug types that I would consider good if your goal is to stretch a bit. And I don’t mean that yoga kind of stretching.
- Training butt plug
- Butt plug kits
- Hollow butt plugs
Butt plug alternatives around the house (DIY butt plug project)
I’m not going to give you a complete guide in this blog post, as i the focus is on exzposing you to all the different types of butt plugs out there available to you.
But if you are interesting in learning more the have a look at this post on on how to make DIY anal toys.
Electric butt plug (electro, estim)
If you are into really strong and very different anal stimulations, then you can consider going for an electric butt plug. And no, I don’t mean the electric type that vibrators.
But instead some thing that will send electricity out into you anally.
An electro butt plug couples with a electro apparatus, as for example those from Estim or Mystim.
You can also get electro prostata stimulators. Or even many other types of electro sex toys.
Safe butt plugs (go for comfortable butt plugs)
Yes, it’s a coincidence this is what I go for after electro butt plugs. It was next on my list, but i felt like I needed to include that some butt plugs are safer than others.
And if you’re nervous about being safe, then going for a type of butt plug that is considered safe is most likely a smart option! Especially because the more comfortable butt plug you have and the more comfortable you feel using it, the better the experience you will have.
What to look out for to get comfortable and safe butt plug:
- Soft materials – silicone primarly.
- Wide bases – see my guide a above for more info.
- Short and thin – see my guide on sizes above.
