Trying a butt plug for the first time can feel confusing, or even a bit awkward. Many people feel this way in the beginning, and that’s completely normal. After looking through loads of advice about sex toys, we found that choosing the right size and using plenty of lube truly helps.
In this guide, we explain different types of butt plugs, simple tips for beginners, and key facts about safe use from trusted UK shops like Forthecloset. They offer discreet delivery on adult toys too.

Types of Butt Plugs
We spot all sorts of bum plugs, each crafted with different materials and special features. These toys—think medical-grade rubber or heavy-duty metal—give us ways to fine-tune our bedroom fun, much like switching from a bullet vibrator to a rampant rabbit for different thrills.
Silicone Butt Plugs
Silicone butt plugs often feel soft, bendy and smooth. We find these sex toys easy to clean and comfy for longer play. Many prefer silicone because it warms up fast with body heat, unlike metal versions.
Most of us enjoy how silicone resists stains and odours; less fuss in the cleaning department means more time for fun. These marital aids come in many shapes, sizes and colours—no one-size-fits-all here! As one friend told us, “First time using a silicone plug felt like slipping into a warm bath—nervous at first, but soon smiling.” We always use water-based lubricant with these plugs to keep things safe and slippery as recommended by trusted sex shop staff on our online store.

Metal Butt Plugs
Metal butt plugs add a sleek shine to our toy box, giving us a cool and heavy sensation that silicone cannot match. Many of these plugs pop up under Anal and BDSM categories at Forthecloset.
These toys hold heat or cold longer than other materials, which lets us play with temperature in new ways. Stainless steel gives us easy cleaning too—just use soap and water or boil it for deeper hygiene.
Most metal models come in simple shapes but pack some weight, so they feel different from soft rabbit vibrators or bullet vibrators. We notice discounts are rare on these; sales focus more on silicone options or clitoral stimulators instead.
Metal choices can look pretty fancy as well; sometimes we see jewelled bases or heart-shaped ends that make us smile during prep time! Next up, let’s have a closer look at vibrating butt plugs and how their features change things for beginners.
Vibrating Butt Plugs
Buzzing butt plugs offer extra thrills with their built-in motors. Many newbies enjoy starting slow, then switching between different speeds or patterns for more intense stimulation.
Our favourite vibrating sex toys often overlap categories, with features like remote control, discreet delivery, or even connection to rabbit vibrators or cock rings for blended orgasm potential.
Some give us direct clitoral stimulation too, ticking another box on our sexual satisfaction checklist. Whether we want something classic or bold among new arrivals in the love egg range, there’s a gadget out there ready to wiggle its way into our routine!

Inflatable Butt Plugs
Inflatable plugs give us control over the size. We insert them while they are small, then pump until we get the right stretch. These sex toys work well for those who want to try more fullness without jumping up in size too soon.
Some beginners love trying an inflatable butt plug first since it lets us start slow and build confidence.
We often find these plugs on Forthecloset, tucked under their anal range with promotions of up to 50% off at times. That makes experimenting easier on our wallets too! Many models have valves that make inflating or deflating simple—even with slippery hands covered in lube.
Inflatable plugs can help if we are using cock rings or bullet vibrators during play because a good fit keeps things safe and comfy all session long.
Preparation Before Use
Before playing with butt plugs, we should spend a moment picking the right model and using plenty of jelly or cream for slick fun—curious how to make those first moments easy and safe? Keep reading!
Choosing the Right Size
Sizing up a butt plug can feel like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, except it is our comfort on the line. For beginners, we always reach for those smaller, slimmer sex toys, ideally between 2.5-4 cm in width.
Shops such as Forthecloset offer beginner-friendly options that are easy to handle. Bigger plugs may sound exciting but they often suit folks who have tried anal play before.
It helps to check product details carefully; some butt plugs come with a tapered tip for gentle entry. We keep an eye out for sturdy flared bases too so nothing gets lost during fun time! Lots of us start small then step up once we know what feels right—there’s no shame in taking it easy.
Beginners often choose silicone over metal since it feels gentler and warms up quickly with touch.
Some even buy sets containing three plugs: one little, one middle-sized and one quite thick—perfect for sampling at our own pace. Size matters only if we care about safety and pleasure; after all, nobody orders shoes four sizes too big just because they look shiny!

Importance of Lubrication
Lubrication is our best friend for butt plugs, cock rings, and other sex toys. Our bodies do not make natural moisture in the back door like they do for a vaginal orgasm or clitoral stimulators.
Using plenty of anal lubes stops pain, dryness, or tearing before it starts. That means more pleasure and less stress.
We always go heavy on lube with bullet vibrators or rose toy play down there—no such thing as too much! Many shops give 15% off lube when we buy two new arrivals together. For those caring about discreet delivery and comfort in every moment, good lubrication keeps things running smooth as silk.
A little slickness makes trying out butt plugs a breeze—even if it’s our first rodeo after reading a cheeky cookie notice online!

Relaxation Techniques
Breathing helps a lot. Slow, deep breaths tell our bodies to loosen up. We find music makes the room feel safe and can ease tension faster than you would think. Warm baths also work wonders for stiff muscles before trying any sex toys or butt plugs.
Using bullet vibrators or clitoral stimulators on low settings around the area helps as well—not just for pleasure but because it gently wakes up nerves, making insertion smoother.
“Every muscle has its own sense of humour; patience is your best friend,” says Dr Alice Dorman, an expert in human sexuality from 2022 research at The Kinsey Institute. Starting with gentle touch gives us more control, keeps things pain-free and often turns relaxation into real excitement too.
Proper Insertion Process
Start by applying a good amount of water-based lubricant to the butt plug and our body. Lube is not just for comfort, it also makes things safe. Choose a silicone butt plug or metal one as these glide more easily with lube.
Hold the base firmly, then bring the toy close to our entrance. Let’s use slow movements, never force anything inside if it resists.
If we feel any pain or discomfort while using sex toys like bullet vibrators or cock rings, we should stop right away. Sometimes talking helps nerves relax; laughing even more so! Once half in, wait a bit—breathe out slowly—and let muscles get used to new sensations before going further.
After full insertion, keep communication open if we try this with someone else. The next step takes us safely through how to remove butt plugs without stress or panic.

Removing the Plug Safely
Slow and steady wins this race. We grip the base of our butt plug, never yank or rush. A sharp tug can hurt us and cause injury. Our blog on anal toys highlights that gentle removal is key for safety; we always keep this front-of-mind.
We apply more lube if things feel snug, easing discomfort and stopping any pain before it starts. If our body tenses up, we wait a moment until muscles relax again. No need to play hero—patience pays off here just like with rabbit vibrators or bullet vibrators.
Sex toys should add pleasure, not stress or panic!
Tips for Beginners
Testing the waters with new sex toys like butt plugs? We all start somewhere, and patience pays off—experiment at your own pace with different sizes or shapes, maybe even some textured ones.
Starting Slow
Starting with small butt plugs gives us more control and comfort. This deal helps us test what feels good without a big spend.
Patience is key; no need to rush things or jump quickly to larger shapes. Lube becomes our best friend here—plenty keeps everything slick, safe and comfy for the clitoris and beyond.
Some people prefer bullet vibrators or cock rings at first before exploring different textures in plugs. Starting slow means enjoying each moment as we figure out what suits us best among all these new arrivals delivered discreetly right to our doorsteps.

Exploring Different Shapes and Textures
Once we feel at ease with slow starts, mixing up the shapes and surfaces can really liven things up. Butt plugs come in all sorts of styles; some end round as a marble while others curve like a hook or sport edges that ripple for extra fun.
We might spot plugs shaped like hearts, animals, or gems—great conversation starters if you ask us! Some folks on Reddit even swap stories about novel textures they tried, saying bumpy toys gave them tingles no smooth plug ever managed.
Exploring sex toys with new finishes is a smart approach to pleasure. A 2022 survey found that people who switched between different butt plug patterns reported feeling more satisfied.
Textured options such as ridges or knobs give added sensation each time we move—even tiny shifts while walking around can bring sparks of delight. Whether it’s our first textured toy or we’re eyeing one from the latest new arrivals section that promises discreet delivery to our door, changing things up keeps play fresh and exciting.
Cock rings and bullet vibrators pair well too for those ready to turn their session into an adventure worth sharing over breakfast—right next to the jam jar!
Cleaning and Maintenance
Let’s grab our favourite toy cleaner, because cleaning butt plugs and other sex toys should be simple. After use, we wash them in warm soapy water or with a good-quality toy cleaner like those from Forthecloset.
Using special cleaners often keeps silicone, metal and vibrating plugs safe. Plus, we get discounts on toy cleaners if we buy more than one product—bargain!
We always dry plugs thoroughly before putting them away in their pouch or drawer. It helps keep cock rings, rabbit vibrators and bullet vibrators fresh too. On our blog, there are proper maintenance guides for every type of plug out there; it makes life much easier for us beginners and experts alike!

Trying a butt plug can add excitement, pleasure, and even laughter to our sex lives. With the right size, lots of lube, and patience, we’re ready for new fun. At Forthecloset, we find all kinds of anal toys with discreet packaging and swift shipping.
