Butt Plugs

For the vast majority of people, no amount of butt plug use will weaken or loosen the muscles of your sphincter. That part of your body is designed to tighten once a plug or any other item exits your body. If your anal play is too rough or painful, it’s possible to injure that part of your body, so start slow and be careful.

Anal sex with or without butt plugs should never hurt. The trick is to use plenty of lube and go slowly to allow your body to adjust to the sensation. If it hurts, stop or try a smaller butt plug. With enough lube and patience, anal play can and should be pain-free.

If your anal plug slides in with almost no effort, it’s probably time to try the next size up. Another good way to tell is if it doesn’t feel as good or tight as it once did. The same rules apply, though: use plenty of lube and go slowly to avoid pain or discomfort.

Most people never use enough lube so the answer is lots of lubricant. The trick is to reapply as often as needed. If you feel any discomfort, add more. Try to use thick lubricants for any anal play but also make sure the lube you use is right for your butt plug.

The type of lube used will be based on the material your butt plug is made from. Silicone, PVC, and jelly plugs need water based lube. Glass, plastic, or metal butt plugs can use silicone based lubricant.

As long as it’s comfortable, absolutely. Many people report both partners feel extra sensation and tightness during vaginal penetration and butt plug use.
