Last Updated on September 13, 2023 by Kelly

You have finally decided to try a butt plug. But maybe your mind is buzzing with so many questions. 

It’s natural to feel nervous if you’re not experienced with anal sex toys. 

You can only know the joy once you try it, and this is why I am here to help you prepare. It’s important to know the dos and don’ts of using a butt plug to ensure a safe experience. 

In this article, I will answer the most important question: How to insert a butt plug? I will also discuss details that will help beginners get started with anal play. 

Your ass deserves the best. Let’s start!

Why Should I Use a Butt Plug?

You will only know the answer once you try it yourself. But I will try to give you some insight. 

Having a butt plug in your ass feels great. It’s as simple as that. It can even make anal sex more pleasurable.

The pleasure isn’t direct. It builds up with your body movement or the butt plug’s vibrations, so you get to savor it step by step.

And here’s the most exciting part – The pleasure can vary, depending on the butt plug’s size and type. 

Is that it? Nope. Here are some other perks of using a butt plug.


Powerful Orgasms

That’s the whole point of sex and masturbation, right? Butt plugs intensify the pleasure, indirectly hitting your G or A-spot. As a result, you get more intense orgasms.

Fun in Bed

How about some kink? With a butt plug, you can have more fun in dom-sub roleplay, animal play, and can even try out double-penetration sex.

Stretches Your Butthole

Do you sometimes have trouble with anal sex? Well, you need to stretch your butthole a bit so it can take the penis easily.

A beginner butt plug is a great help with this. Once you’re comfortable, you can transition to other plugs and bigger anal toys gradually. 


How to Insert a Butt Plug?

You may think that’s easy. After all, you just have to put it in your asshole. But to be honest, you will end up hurting your rectum if you don’t insert it correctly. 

Don’t worry, I have explained every step in detail below. 


1. Start With Foreplay

Get in the mood first. Start with an erotic anal massage and think of something steamy. Masturbation will also help you relax! Explore your body to see what turns you on. 

Don’t rush the foreplay. You can also try a butt plug with a partner if you’re nervous alone. 

2. Insert a Finger or Two

Don’t jump to the butt plug yet, even if it’s the smallest one. For a tight butt hole, you need to make some space using your fingers first. 

It will hurt otherwise if you directly insert your butt plug. 

Before putting your finger in the ass, apply some lube on it. Then penetrate with your finger slowly for a few minutes. Next, try inserting two fingers! 

Of course, you might need more lube. Carry on and let your ass get used to the penetration. 

3. Follow the 45 Degree Rule

It’s not just the lube that’s important. 

You need to take care of the angle as well. That’s the gateway to optimal pleasure and easy insertion. 

It’s nothing too complicated, though. Instead of inserting the butt plug straight, you have to tilt it and push one side of the bulbous tip inside. This is known as the 45-degree anal play rule. 

First, tilt it in a downward position and then slowly move upwards. Keep this rhythm till the insertable length is completely inside your ass. You can also move your hips to adjust your anal plug.

What if you do everything right, but still the butt plug doesn’t go in? That’s okay. It mostly happens because your sphincter muscles contract and relax involuntarily. Give it a break and try again later. 

The key here is to stay relaxed!

This trick will work wonders when you’re having anal sex as well. Ask your partner to position his penis at the 45-degree angle. In simple terms, it should aim towards your belly button. 

But when you’re using a butt plug, you can tilt it downwards as well. 

4. Move Slowly

So now the butt plug is in, congratulations! 

What’s next? Allow your body to get familiar with the fulfilling sensation. 

You can also walk for a while and see how your body responds to different movements. Once you feel comfortable, you can start with the penetration – But go slowly. 

Tip: Keep going with more foreplay to maintain the fun and pleasure. Play with your nipples, rub your clit, and finger your vagina. 

The point is to maximize pleasure!

How to Remove a Butt Plug?

You’re done and dusted, but don’t get lazy yet. 

You have to take the butt plug out just like you inserted it – Gently and slowly. 

If you try to pull it out at once, your sphincter will tighten up, making it difficult to remove the butt plug.

You will then try to put on more force, which can rupture the delicate skin around your anus. 

I don’t mean to scare you. I am only emphasizing how important it is to remove the butt plug slowly. 

It’s also necessary to get in a comfortable position. For instance, some people prefer sitting or squatting. 

If that doesn’t work for you, you can try standing on one leg. Put the other leg on something hard, and stretch your body. 

Also, make sure your hands are not slippery to get a better grip on the plug. Once your plug is out, clean it properly using mild soap and warm water. 

The cleaning instructions vary with different materials, but if you’re a beginner, it’s recommended to use a silicone butt plug and water-based lube.

Wrap Up

That is everything you need to know about how to insert a butt plug. If you stay well lubricated and don’t speed up with the insertion, you won’t face any trouble, most likely. 

However, it takes time to feel comfortable with a butt plug, so a little discomfort or irritation is okay. 

Take your time, practice, and stay relaxed. That’s all you need to do.
