- The most powerful vibrating butt plug — I would check out either the Lovense Hush 2, which is powerful and comes in three sizes, or the b-Vibe Trio which has three vibrating motors.
- A vibrating butt plug for long-distance play — The Lovense Hush 2 and We-Vibe Vector+ prostate massager all have long-distance app control.
- A vibrating butt plug for PIV sex — Butt plugs with shorter T-bar bases or round bases are based for wearing during penetrative sex as they don’t block the vaginal opening. The b-Vibe Novice and b-Vibe Heart Plug are great for this.

Why I Chose It
Flora chose to test the Hush 2 in the Small version (1.5-inch diameter) and found it to be pretty big for a “small”, but very enjoyable nonetheless!
In fact, she said: “I can’t praise this product enough”.
“The modern features and app compatibility merge everyday pleasure with physical ecstasy. These vibrations enhanced self-pleasure for a truly transcendent experience. With an inclusive design and size for every experience level, anybody can enjoy the Lovense Hush 2. “
As an expert I chose the Lovense Hush 2 as the best overall vibrating butt plug for many reasons! But mostly as Flora concluded she couldn’t “envision my future sex-life without it”.
It packs some seriously good vibrations that Flora said gave he “the most beautiful, prolonged orgasm I’ve ever experienced”.
Next, she added that the “silicone is firm, with some flexibility in the neck and base” which allows for firm stimulation that better transfer the vibrations. The flexibility makes insertions and moving around with it inserted easier. Flora also highlighted this, by saying the “ergonomic design was comfortable to wear, even during long sessions and non-sexual activities”.
She did have some criticism of the music-sync feature, as it wasn’t “perfectly in sync with the music”, but rather a bit delayed as the vibrator has to ‘hear’ the music, and transform that to a synced vibration pattern.
However, as the vibrations were “so quiet!” according to Flora, who also said the ‘Hush’ name is “an appropriate name to convey the discretion.”.

Why I Chose It
Emiel enjoyed testing out the Lovehoney Butt Tingler and thought it was a great addition to penetrative sex, although he did find it a little basic for for his tastes.Concluding that “it isn’t my most exciting but it definitely gets the job done“.
In that sense, when I compared his review to the price, it was a no-brainer as a the best budget option out there.
In some sense, it also makes it a cheap way to start out, as Emiel also put it: “I think were I just getting into anal this would be a phenomenal toy.”.
But as he has more with anal play it works better when he “want a toy that is smaller and easy to use.”.
One of the things I rarely see as an expert is a quality silicone toy at these price levels. And, that doesn’t take into consideration that it is also a well-designed (anal safe shape).
All things that make it a supreme choice.
I will say that buying a cheaper vibrating butt plug like this had to come with it’s drawdowns – and the one with the one is that it’s not rechargeable but battery operated.
But then, it surprised me again to learn it was waterproof to a submersible level – I had Emiel test this and it’s f-ing true. Simply incredible at that price level.

Why I Chose It
Our tester, Jess Adams, found the vibrations to be powerful and wonderfully rumbly and thoroughly enjoyed testing this little plug out!
She said: “I absolutely LOVED the B-Vibe Novice” further stating that she “will recommend this to anyone who wants to start a journey in anal play”. And, I agree with her completely.
In terms of the sheer vibration power, this is a plug for all levels (just choose your desired level of power with the remote).
However, the size is absolutely perfect for beginners, and I’m always advising anal novices to start here.
In fact, I’m not sure why other brands don’t make similar-sized entry level vibrating butt plugs.
Even for Jesse, who “have bigger plugs and will continue to explore them” she still find that the b-Vibe Novice is “going to be what I grab every time” that “I want a staple plug with a great comfort level”.
The only downside is really that it isn’t a dirt-cheap vibrating butt plug – so I would personally want some certainty around the longevity of my anal play journey before committing.

Moe Lawn had the pleasure of taking the b-Vibe Trio for a test drive. He was blown away by just how much difference it made having the 3 vibrating motors compared to the usual one saying it “feels like something actually moving around in there“.
He’s a very seasoned anal expert, having tested a wide range of toys for us and privately. So when he said he “immediately liked this toy,” I knew this was a toy that should make it to the list.
I would later come to realize it is in fact the most powerful vibrating butt plug ever tested on Bedbible. Needless to say, stuffing three motors in a plug does the job!
Apart from just the sheer power, Moe was also “impressed with the vibration patterns of the Trio” saying that some patterns even “feels like electricity moving from base to tip and back again”.
My only addition is that the base is a little bulky, meaning it doesn’t make a great wearable butt plug but it’s fantastic aside from that!
The price is high but I would say it’s reasonable considering there are three motors!

Robby Stiles, who tested the Vector+, was very impressed stating that he “absolutely love the We-Vibe Vector+”. And, I understand why. It’s a massive upgrade from the first We-Vibe Vector.
One thing he highlighted was its intensely powerful vibrations and easy to use app! He said it best himself: “I have never used a more powerful, well designed, comfortable, or fun vibrator before this one“.
He would have preferred if the neck was a little more flexible but aside from that, he was pretty smitten with this butt plug vibrator!
Having tested multiple We-Vibe toys myself I can verify that their vibration-motors are incredible – super strong and rumbly – even in smaller toys. It seems the Vector is no exception according to Robby.
If you own a prostate, this is the option to go for!

Which Size is Best For You?
As always, it depends.
It is always a good idea to start small, especially if you are new to anal play.
Here are some general guidelines, but for more information, check out this whole post on which size butt plug you should buy.
- Beginner – 1″-1.25″ diameter plug
- Intermediate – Add on 0.25″-0.3″ in diameter
- Experienced – Pick a bigger size than you’ve tried out before
Why use a vibrating butt plug?
Not sure if this is the anal toy for you?
Here are my top reasons to treat your tush to a vibrating butt plug.
Hands-free stimulation
Once you slip the plug inside and choose your setting, you are good to go and your hands are free for whatever else takes your fancy!
Great for use during partnered sex
Whether you are a penis or vulva owner, butt plugs can add some extra stimulation and arousal during partnered sex!
Vibrations can help relax your anal muscles
If you are trying anal play for the first time, or you get a little nervous, the added stimulation of the vibrations can help relax your muscles and make anal play more pleasurable.
How to Choose the Best Vibrating Butt Plug
When you’re trying to select the perfect vibrating anal plug for you, it’s important to look past the catchy names or flashy features. Instead, you’ll want to pay close attention to the product’s specifications! These may not seem exciting, but trust us, you’ll need a toy that matches your body perfectly if you want to have the best experience possible.
- Diameter is one measurement commonly used to determine how thick a large vibrating butt plug is. Less experienced users will want to start on the lower end, whereas more experienced users have options that get even thicker than 2 inches!
- Length can be helpful, especially if you’re trying to stimulate your prostate. However, length is less important in regards to butt plugs than it is for large anal beads.
- Shape directly affects how easy (or hard) it is to insert your new toy into your anus. We recommend opting for a plug with a tapered end and a t-bar base. This will make the toy easy to insert while preventing it from getting lost in your bum (accidental full insertion can require an embarrassing trip to the ER for removal!).
- Vibration strength is a matter of personal preference, and you likely won’t use all of the vibration settings on your new toy. Still, it’s better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it! We recommend opting for a more powerful toy that offers multiple speeds & patterns.
- Materials are important, both from a “user experience” aspect and from a health standpoint. Non-porous materials like silicone won’t get dirty easily, whereas porous materials like TPE tend to attract dust, lint, and other debris. Porous materials can’t be sterilized, which means you’ll need to clean them very thoroughly after use (because bacteria can hide in the pores!).
- Pricing varies widely. Fortunately, we’ve included a few budget-friendly large vibrating anal plug options below. Although not always available, financing can be a helpful method of buying a premium toy that costs more than you currently have in your pocket!
Buzzy vs Rumbly Vibrations
“Buzzy” and “rumbly” are two terms you’ll commonly hear used to describe the vibrations of an anal vibrator.
If you’re not quite sure what the difference is, hopefully, these short descriptions will help you get a better grasp on the terminology!
“Buzzy” Vibrations Are
- High-pitched
- Easier to hear
- Provide stimulation at the surface of the skin
“Rumbly” Vibrations Are
- Lower-pitched
- Harder to hear
- Can be felt deeply throughout the body
