Anal plug: everything you need to know for a pleasurable experience

From the different types of materials, you will discover everything you need to know to choose the right product. Do you doubt if an anal plug and an anal vibrator are the same? Keep reading to discover the answer and much more.

What is an anal plug?

An anal plug is a stopper that, due to its design, does not allow it to reach completely into the rectum, but rather will have the perfect size to dilate the anus and activate all nerve endings to begin to enjoy.

How to use an anal plug?

The process is generally easy; it doesn't have many steps in its accommodation compared to other sex toys.

1. Hygiene: everything must be clean, the environment, your hands, and the anal plug. Make sure to use a toy cleaner before and after use to prevent infections and prolong the life of your new friend.
2. Position and insertion: these go hand in hand as you must find a posture that allows your anus and the toy to meet naturally.
3. Enjoy: it is completely normal to need a bit more stimulation for the anus to open and for you to start feeling pleasure. The anus does not function like a vagina or a penis which are predisposed to friction; it is a delicate area that requires a bit more stimulation, it's nothing out of the ordinary, just be patient.
4. Removal and cleaning: gently pull from the base with care, wash with warm water or follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your toy, wash your hands, and store it clean for next time.

These are the basics of using your anal plug. If these steps are clear to you, but you're still concerned about the cleanliness you should maintain with your body and you don't know how to do a rectal enema at home comfortably and safely, we can help you.

Types of anal plugs and materials

If you've made it this far, we venture to think that it's your first time trying, and perhaps you're tired of those questions spinning in your head, and you've decided to give it a try, but you don't know which one is best. Well, here you go!

• Standard anal plugs

They are the most basic and usually have a conical shape for gradual insertion. Our Onix Anal Plug Lucio is the answer to this shape.

• Beaded anal plugs

These have a series of beads of different sizes that allow gradual stimulation when inserted and withdrawn, like the Satisfyer Booty Call Anal Plug Set.

• Tapered anal plugs

They have a more rounded tip and a narrower neck, similar to a stopper, making them ideal for prolonged use, like the Satisfyer Lolli 1 - Anal Plug.

• Vibrating anal plugs

They incorporate vibration functions for additional stimulation and can be controlled manually or via remote control with thermal sensations like the Svakom Primo Thermal Vibrating Anal Plug. We also have the We Vibe Ditto Anal Vibrator, which also has a Bluetooth function. This is another level!

• Inflatable anal plugs

These plugs have the ability to inflate once inserted, which allows for adjusting the size and sensation of fullness.

Each type of anal plug offers a unique experience, so it's important to explore and find the one that best suits your tastes and needs.

Materials for anal plugs

There are several materials used for the creation of these toys, such as latex, neoprene, silicone (this can be medical-grade, rigid, or soft), depending on what you prefer for your anal plug. There are also glass and metal ones.

Questions are never enough; the materials and place of use should matter to you a lot. So wherever you wish to buy them, ask anything you deem necessary to be sure of the store's veracity and the product's authenticity.

Tips for using and caring for an anal plug

• Essential is the use of a good anal lubricant that is compatible with the material of your anal plug, applying it about 15 minutes beforehand.
• If it doesn't bother you, you can caress yourself and/or consume some sexual content (a short porn video, a sexual gif, looking at yourself in the mirror) to get your brain in the mood and make it easier. Anything goes.
• You can stimulate yourself with just the plug or prepare the anus for penetration or even the use of a dildo if you feel that the next step comes naturally to your body.

How to care for your anal plug

Care is simple. What you should keep in mind is:

• Disinfection: before and after each use.
• Store it correctly: keep it away from strong or abrasive textures that could scratch its material and deteriorate it, as well as prevent unwanted microorganisms from lodging and causing health problems.
• Compatibility: use cleaners recommended by the manufacturer to avoid stains and material breakage.
• Check it regularly: for damage that may interfere with its lifespan. Remember that your health is non-negotiable.

Are an anal plug and an anal vibrator the same?

An anal vibrator vibrates to stimulate the area, while an anal plug is inserted and left in place to provide a sensation of fullness. This is left in while you do another activity, perhaps oral sex, penetration, a dance, etc.

Moreover, it's very stimulating for both the wearer and for anyone who might be observing, and if it has a tail simulating an animal, even better!
