The Best Anal Plugs —Start Small, Explore More.

How to Choose the Best Anal Plugs

The best anal plugs for you come down to size, shape, material and the kind of sensation you want. Here is how to choose yours, whether it is your very first or an upgrade.

Always look for a flared base

This is the one rule that matters most: every anal plug must have a wide, flared base or a finger loop so it cannot slip too far in. Every one of the best anal plugs we carry has a safe flared base — never use anything anal that does not.

Start small — sizing for beginners

If it is your first time, begin with a slim, tapered beginner plug and work up from there. The best anal plugs for beginners are narrow at the tip and ease in slowly; you can always size up once smaller feels comfortable.

Material: silicone, glass or metal

Body-safe silicone is soft, warm and forgiving — ideal for beginners. Glass and metal are firm, smooth, temperature-play friendly and easy to clean, and they give that satisfying weight. All three are body-safe; pick by feel and budget.

Gems, vibrating, tails & remote — pick your style

A jeweled gem plug adds a pretty sparkle; a vibrating or remote plug adds buzzing sensation; a tail plug brings roleplay fun. The best anal plugs are the ones that match how you like to play, so choose the style that excites you.

How to use an anal plug

Use plenty of body-safe lube, relax, and ease the plug in slowly — never force it. Let your body adjust, wear it as long as it stays comfortable, and remove it gently by the base. Going slow is the secret to comfortable anal play.

Safety & Care

We only carry body-safe materials — medical-grade silicone, glass and metal, non-toxic and phthalate-free — each with a flared base. Stop if anything feels painful, and never share a plug without cleaning or a fresh condom.

Cleaning your plug

Wash before and after every use with warm water and a fragrance-free toy cleaner, dry fully, and store it apart from other toys. Charge a vibrating or remote plug before first use.

Lube — go generous

The backdoor does not self-lubricate, so use plenty of water-based or silicone lubricant and reapply often. Water-based works with every material; avoid silicone lube on silicone toys.
