How to Care For and Clean a Silicone Anal Plug
Buying an anal plug is typically one of the first toys that a child new to the world of anal play will purchase. However, it’s also a plaything that can lead to confusion over how best to take care of it and how to clean it properly.
It is essential to not share anal plugs without cleaning them. This will stop the spread and infection of STIs.
Size
Anal plugs come in a variety of sizes, with the diameter or width of the plug determining the size. To ensure security and comfort, it is essential to choose a device that fits your anus perfectly. Some people find a wider plug more stimulating and thrilling while others prefer a narrower plug that gives the feeling of being more secure.
Weight is another element. This additional stimulation can create a kinky element and intensify the anal game. If you’re a novice to anal plugs, start with smaller size and expanding the size until you’ve found your ideal fitting.
Using an anal plug can be a great option to explore new erogenous zones and broaden your sexual experience with a partner. Some prefer it in the private space of their home for an intimate, hands-free stimulation, while others utilize it as a transitional tool prior to trying anal sex. It can also be an enjoyable erotic toy for straight males who are interested in learning more about sexual stimulation.
If you’re just getting started with anal plugs, consider this beginner-to-intermediate plug from Fun Factory. The toy features a curved base and a broad T bar that makes it easy to handle and move. Plus, it includes a lubrication tool to make sure you’re fully lubricated before playing.
Material
Safety of the material is always a top consideration when it comes to adult insertable toys. However, it is more so with anal plugs. This is because the plug will be in contact with your rectal lining as well as the sphincter over a prolonged period of time. The material should be hypoallergenic and disinfectable to reduce the chance of infection. Materials like silicone, neoprene and wood, metals, glass or other natural or synthetic textures that don’t cause irritation to the skin are suitable.
One of the top-rated choices available is this anal plug made by SquarePeg Toys. The slim, curved silicone form is ideal for beginners and is suitable for solo and partner play. It can be used on the ring and G-spot. It has a variety of vibration speeds and a rotating anal massager that simulates the sensation of the rim.
This slim, anal plug is a different option. It is also suitable for people who are new to. It has three different vibration speeds as well as an attached sphincter with a rotating sphincter that stimulates nerve-endings.
Adding anal play to your kink repertoire could allow you to explore new enjoyment zones. To make the most of your anal plug, you have to be fully aroused. Anal plugs can exert pressure that crosses the vaginal wall and the anus and can cause orgasms that you haven’t experienced before. They can also reach areas of erogenous that you didn’t even know you had, according to Honickman.
Design
In addition to a variety of sizes anal plugs can also be found in various shapes. Some have a tapered tip to allow for silicone Anal plug easier insertion, while others have a flared base that helps keep the plug in place, and to prevent accidental slipping. Some toys come with a removable tail so that you can alter the design.
A tapered plug is ideal for those who are just beginning to learn. The shape allows you to ease into the hole and lets you enjoy the game hands-free. It is also compatible with water based lubricants so you can enjoy a safe anal experience. A flared base also protects the anal canal from pressure outside and offers an additional level of security.
A large number of anal plugs are made from silicone, which is a non-toxic material that can be used safely with anal lubricants. Avoid dildos made of PVC jelly, PVC or thermoplastic rubber (TPE) because they can leach unknown plasticizers into your body and are known to cause black mold if placed in damp conditions.
For a more exciting experience, think about purchasing an anal-plug that vibrates. Sex educator Lola Jean, who runs an online pegging and butt stuffing course, says that this toy is perfect for those who are just beginning because it lets you experience the sensation without piercing. The vibration mimics the sensation of rimming and helps you relax the area of the anal before entering she says.
Comfort
When playing with a silicone anal plug, make sure you are using an excellent quality lubricant. This will allow you to insert the toy and play more comfortably. It will also make sure that the toy stays slick and smooth, even when used for extended butt actions. We recommend using water-based lube as it’s a barrier and toys-friendly, however silicone lube could also be employed. It is important to avoid using a silicone-based lube in conjunction with a metal plug since it could cause corrosion and leave behind pieces of the toy.
Plugs are available in a variety shapes and sizes. Many have added textures and features that take vibrating anal plug play to a new level. They can be adorned with ridges, bumps, or a hollow middle that provides the opportunity for exploration and excitement. There are also options that vibrate and buzz to provide additional stimulation.

The silicone is free of phthalates and safe for the body, making it a more comfortable item.
