Interested in some booty action? We gotchu.
If you're interested in exploring anal play (whether it’s anal foreplay , anal sex , or anything in between), then butt plugs are the best way to get familiar with your behind. Experimenting with butt plugs is a great way to test the waters of booty play before having penetrative anal sex with a partner, and they’re also a great way to experience anal play for anyone who finds anal sex to be ~too much~. The best butt plugs for beginners tend to be smaller and designed for easy insertion and removal, and if you're not sure where to get started, then we're here to help.
According to Dr. Donna Oriowo , LICSW, M.ED, owner and lead therapist at AnnodRight , anyone can benefit from giving butt stuff a try—including those with vaginas. "With the pudendal nerve, direct stimulation to the anus can also stimulate the vagina," she tells Cosmo . "Plus, we know that with all those nerve endings in the anus, only 20 percent of them are in active use to keep things working. The other 80 percent is all about sensation." And there's only one way to unlock that 80 percent: with experimentation and touch.
Certified sex therapist Shadeen Francis , LMFT, CST, agrees, adding, "Anal plugs stimulate the sensitive nerve endings inside the anus, and can lead to powerful orgasms. Some plugs feel good for the pressure of fullness, some arc towards the prostate in people who have them (or the A-spot for people with vulvas), and some even pulse or vibrate!" What's not to like??
First things first: Lube is your friend, and we C-A-N-N-O-T emphasize that enough. "Before you grab the butt plug, though, you have to remember that, unlike the vagina, the anus is not self-lubricating," says Dr. Oriowo. "This means you have to use lube. Don’t be shy with it, either—use just a bit more than you think is enough. Better to have more lube than less."
The type of lube you use matters, too. "Always read your ingredients list, and never put anything in any hole that isn't safe to go in your mouth," Francis adds. "As a tip for your lube choice, think about what you might like to do in your butt play session. Silicone lube is long-lasting but can be hard to clean and can't be used with silicone toys. Water-based lube is friendly for everyone, but you will need to reapply. Oil-based lubes give a lot of slip but, depending on the ingredients, can contain allergens (e.g., coconut oil-based lubes are a no-go if you have a nut allergy) and will absolutely stain your bedsheets."
And ofc, you want to start small and work your way up. As Francis points out, the tissues of the anus are delicate and sensitive, so be gentle with yourself, bb. "If—after exploring stimulation of the sensitive opening from the outside—you'd like to try penetration, start small," she says. "Always start smaller than you think: a little finger perhaps, or a narrow toy (with a flared base, of course). You can always go up in size as smaller toys become more comfortable. Even if over time you fancy yourself a bit of a size-slut, look for toys that start narrow and gradually increase in size to make insertion more comfortable."
According to Francis, beginners should look for butt plugs "with a flared base to prevent the risk of the toy getting pulled into your anal canal and lodged inside." And just like with all sex toys , you should opt for a plug that's made with non-porous, body-safe materials. As Francis tells us, "You have many options, such as silicone (which comes in many densities so you can choose between soft and firm toys), glass (which can give you a cool visual if you're into seeing all the details), porcelain (for a light but firm toy), and metal (for added weight and temperature play)."
If you’re interested in sampling the sensations a butt plug can provide—including some vibin' options (!)—then take a peek at this list (very generously narrowed down to our fave plugs) and find the one that speaks to you.
Perhaps the least intimidating butt plug around: this slim, tapered bb from Unbound, which is only a little over an inch in diameter and features 4.25 inches of insertable length, making it an ideal pick for beginners.
Made by Maude, this no-frills butt plug is sleek, teeny-tiny, and made with all booties in mind. It's the perfect non-intimidating pick for beginners, and it won't cost you a lot of $$$, either.
Dr. Oriowo suggests getting started with an anal trainer kit, like this three-piece set from CalExotics. "It comes with three different sizes, so you get to start small and go up from there," she explains. "It also has a flared base, which is a MUST-HAVE in an anal sex toy."
Another great starter set: this presh trio from Cake, which is made with premium, body-safe silicone and comes with three different size options to help you ease into prostate play.
The bulb on this beginner plug makes it great for prostate play or more targeted anal play, as you’re able to maneuver it around easier. There’s a wide T-bar base for optimal grip and safety, and it’s small enough that it should be comfy for most beginners.
Francis' top pick: the Novice Plug from B-Vibe. "It's a silicone butt plug with a tapered head and smooth body," she says. "Despite its size, it has a powerful motor as its core and comes with a remote to control the vibration settings for solo or partnered play."
One of the biggest advantages to glass and steel plugs is that you can use them with oil-based and silicone lubes. This small, rose-shaped plug is not only cute, but it’s glass, so it’s compatible with all lubes.
This vibin' plug is basically a two-in-one, since it can be used for both vaginal and anal stimulation . It has a tapered design for easy insertion and removal, two rumbly motors, and a wide base that can also be used for perineum stimulation. Plus, it's also self-warming!
Looking for a lil ✨pizazz?✨ Then get this very fancy vibrating tool, which is super slick, USB rechargeable, and complete with a pretty gem on the base.
Speaking of bejeweled anal plugs! Just look at this fah-ncy metal option from Lovehoney, which is just two-and-a-half inches long and designed to give you firm, filling sensations without too much girth.
Though B-Vibe is one of the best brands in the game when it comes to butt stuff, their products can sometimes be a bit pricey. This $50 plug is a nice entry-level toy that won’t break the bank. You can also get a full Snug Plug set if you find that you enjoy the weight and heft of this small one and wanna expand your collection.
This silicone butt plug is extra special because it’s squeezable and malleable, meaning it’s not only an excellent stress ball (probably) but also great for beginners as it’s flexible and comfortable. You can use it as a wide bulb or squeeze it into a more beginner-friendly tapered design.
This silicone candy heart-shaped butt plug comes in three different colors and is non-porous, super-smooth, and easy to clean with soap and water—and did we mention it's cute as heck???
While this vibrating anal plug is an A+ toy if you're just getting started with butt play, we promise that even more experienced users can have a good time with this. It's equipped with 10 different functions and a flared base, and for $25, ya can't beat the price.
Honestly, there's nothing like a nostalgia-fueled purchase. This toy is a short, manageable size, and the best part is that the Hello Kitty decal can be removed when you wash the toy so that this masterpiece can stay purrfectly intact.
For a handblown glass plug that won't cost you an arm and a leg, check out this gorge option from Chrystalino, which features a unique, petite shape and can be used as vaginal play as well.
For those who seek a little variety when it comes to texture, these flexi silicone plugs are sized from beginner to intermediate, have rings at the base to make them easier to remove, and are smooth as silk. Just add a good amount of water-based lube and you're ready to go!
This vibrating butt plug is a great option for beginners who want something nice but don't want to ball out on a $200 anal toy just yet. The best part: The flared base features a ring, allowing you to move the vibrations inside you for an extra intense sensation.
This affordable option comes attached to a four-speed controller (which you can either control yourself or hand over to a partner), and it's sleek ’n’ small, making it a perfect pick for beginners. Its gentle curve is also ideal for seeking out internal hotspots.
If you happen to be a fan of rim jobs, this vibrating plug features beads around the plug's shaft, so it feels just like one. Ah, technology. It's also available in non-petite sizes for seasoned pros.
Gradually increasing glass beads make this toy a super versatile butt plug for a variety of sensations. Plus, the glass means that you can get as creative as you'd like with temperature play and makes it super easy to clean.
If you like the idea of a lil anal embellishment, then this floofy bunny will give ya serious Playboy vibes. It can be easily cleaned with soap and water, and you can heat it up or put it in the freezer for a few minutes if you want to play around with temperature.
Another fun embellished option: this bunny tail plug from Happy Rabbit, which has a smooth satin finish, fuzzy faux fur, and three different size options available.
Though a lil pricey, this bb is bendy and adjustable to hit the spot *just* right. Plus, it comes with 10 vibration patterns (which you can access by pressing a button or through an app on your phone), as well as a four-button remote.
This weighty, hand-polished stainless steel plug is available in three sizes. Try it in your bedroom, or if you're daring, wear it out of the house...because no one will know unless you tell them.
This smooth, flexible plug is easy to use on a partner or yourself, thanks to the base that doubles as a heart-shaped handle. Adorable and practical—the best of both worlds in one sex toy.
While not heart-shaped, this Fifty Shades -inspired beaut for beginners is slim, sleek, and beautifully petite, and thanks to the lil loop handle, it's as easy to remove as it is to insert.
If you've been looking to experiment with anal beads , then this vibrating bead-like butt plug is something you've got to try. This genius lil device features flexible tapered-size beads, an easy grip handle, and two powerful motors, and it also comes with a remote, so no awkward reaching behind you during solo play.

"Once you experience an orgasm with one in, you never want to have an orgasm without one."
Let’s get this out of the way fast: Anal sex isn’t as scary as it seems . All the horror stories about the pain or the…ahem…potential byproducts (yes, sometimes poop comes out) are typically borne of faulty prep and faulty practice. But with the right method—and the right toys!— anal play might just become your new favorite bedroom activity, unlocking new levels of pleasure along the way. Step one? The butt plug .
Butt plugs are sex toys that anyone with an anus, regardless of genitalia or orientation, can use during partner play or solo masturbation . Butt plugs do pretty much exactly what their name suggests: They plug up your butt. If you’ve never experimented with anal play before, you may be wondering why anyone would want to plug their butt. To be fair, it sounds kinda silly. But a butt plug provides anal penetration that stays in place while you pleasure yourself elsewhere, heightening sensation and contributing to stronger orgasms. Who’s silly now?!
Sex and pleasure educator Luna Matatas says the sphincter area has a ton of nerve endings, and anal penetration can be pleasurable and stimulating for any kind of body—especially women and those who were assigned female at birth (AFAB) . “Women and AFAB folks benefit from butt plug stimulation of those nerve endings because it can increase arousal in the nearby erogenous areas like the perineum and vulva,” she explains. “Depending on the shape and size of the butt plug, it can also help maximize hot spots for vaginal penetration by pushing against the back wall of the vagina through the rectum.”
If you have an interest in trying anal sex with a penis or a dildo , Matatas says a butt plug is a great way to “train” your anus for penetration. “Your anal sphincters and tissue need to be trained with gradual penetration or you increase your risk for anal fissures and injury,” she says. “Using butt plugs helps you get to know how your booty reacts to penetration, gets you familiar with what angles or sensations feel good or not, and allows your anus to relax and open.”
But even just with a butt plug, there’s still a good deal of prep work that should be done. San Francisco–based sex expert and therapist Celeste Hirschman , MA, co-founder of the Somatica Method of sex, says it’s necessary to clean your butt plug thoroughly before and after use, in accordance with the toy’s instructions. Also, before inserting the butt plug, you or a partner should warm up the anus with plenty of external stimulation, whether it’s with a finger or a tongue. “Analingus is really good, gentle, and relaxing,” she says, and perfect for getting you in the mood.
To avoid any unwanted surprises, some people douche beforehand. But Matatas warns against this. “Douching with solutions can cause irritation and dry out the delicate anal tissue,” she says. “If you want to flush yourself out, use a small enema bulb and flush it out with warm water over the toilet beforehand. You can also just shower after your last bowel movement. However you feel comfortable.”
Ultimately, Hirschman says, this is anal play we’re talking about here. It’s not going to be perfectly clean, and that’s okay. “Sh*t happens,” she says. “If you’re playing in that area, you have to be ready for that. It’s good to have a conversation [with your partner] like, ‘If this happens, we’re gonna laugh about it and we’re gonna clean the sheets and then we’re gonna move on.’ There has to be a relaxed attitude about that for people to feel comfortable.”
Otherwise, Matatas and Hirschman agree: The most important health and safety tip is to keep butt stuff and vagina stuff completely separate. Toys made for vaginas often don’t have bases, which means they can get stuck inside your body if inserted into the anus. And if you use anal toys in your vagina, you risk contracting a UTI or yeast infection .
Overall, Hirschman says, the thought of anal play may appeal to some women, but one or two bad experiences can easily scare them off. She says even if it’s not that common for women to use butt plugs (only 32 percent of Cosmo readers report using a butt plug despite 82 percent saying they enjoy anal stimulation), the benefits, when done right, are worth the effort.
“There’s a joke among sex therapists that women have anal sex only once,” she says with a laugh. “That’s because sometimes it hurts, but that’s usually because people don’t do it well. So even the ones who are more experimental and who might want to try having something in their ass, they might end up having pain and then avoiding it after that.”
“There’s a lot of anxiety about the butt,” she adds. But if you do it well, anal play can be a life-changing experience.

A butt plug is a sex toy that goes in the anus. They are usually shaped like a cone, starting narrow and getting wider before narrowing again. Butt plugs also have a wide base to prevent the toy from going in too far.
Unlike many other sexual toys, such as dildos, a butt plug is meant to remain in place during sexual play.
A butt plug can be used to stimulate the anus to prepare for sex. This is because
