Anal plugs are becoming increasingly popular – among both beginners and experienced users. They offer a unique opportunity to discover new types of stimulation, intensify pleasure, and get to know your own body better. But beginners, in particular, have many questions:
- Which size is right for me?
- Which material is best suited?
- How do I use an anal plug safely and comfortably?
This guide takes you by the hand and explains everything you need to know about anal plugs.
1. What is an anal plug?
An anal plug – also called a butt plug – is a specially shaped sex toy for anal stimulation. It usually consists of a narrow, conical body and a wide base that prevents the plug from being inserted too deeply.
Why do people use anal plugs?
There are many reasons for using anal plugs:
✔ Increased pleasure: Anal stimulation can be very intense and create new sensations.
✔ Preparation for anal sex: A plug can help to gently stretch the anus and get used to the feeling.
✔ Long-term stimulation: Some people wear anal plugs discreetly for longer periods of time to experience continuous stimulation.
✔ Prostate massage: Specially shaped anal plugs can specifically stimulate the prostate and thus trigger particularly intense orgasms.
2. The right size and shape for beginners
Especially for beginners, it's important to start with the right size. Plugs that are too large can cause pain, while plugs that are too small are barely noticeable.
Recommended sizes for beginners:
- Length: 6–9 cm
- Diameter: 2–3 cm
- Conical shape for easier insertion
After a little experience, you can try larger models or experiment with different shapes.
3. Materials: Which is best for you?

4. The correct application: How to use an anal plug safely
To ensure the experience remains pleasant, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
1. Preparation
- Take your time and relax. A warm bath can help.
- Use plenty of water-based lubricant for a comfortable insertion. We recommend Pjur's Backdoor Lubricant, which is specifically designed for anal use.
- Start in a comfortable position , such as squatting or lying on your side.
2. Inserting the plug
- Start slowly and insert the plug carefully.
- Breathe deeply and relax your muscles.
- If you feel resistance, go slower and use more lubricant.
3. Wearing and removing
- At first, only wear the plug for a short time (10–15 minutes).
- If it feels comfortable, you can gradually wear it for longer periods.
- To remove: Pull slowly and gently on the base of the plug.
5. Safety & Hygiene – How to keep the fun risk-free
Safety is especially important when it comes to anal stimulation. Keep these tips in mind:
✔ Always use lubricant – Anal skin does not produce its own moisture.
✔ Insert slowly – do not use pressure or force.
✔ Do not insert the plug too deeply – the wide base prevents it from slipping.
✔ Always clean! – Wash thoroughly with warm water and mild soap before and after each use.
