Choosing Your First Plug

Choosing Your First Plug

Let's talk about choosing your first butt plug. At times, it might seem overwhelming trying to figure out where to start in the world of anal play. I know, right? But trust me, this can be a cherry on top experience for so many bodies, and we're here to help you honor your truth and make your own rules for pleasure.

Choosing Your First Plug: What You Need to Know

So, you're ready to dive into the wonderful world of butt stuff – that's amazing! This isn't just for cock owner bodies either; all bodies from pussy owner bodies to cock owner bodies and there's some in between humans can find incredible pleasure with butt plugs. Here's what you need to know to get started:

Safe Materials: Because Your Body Deserves the Best!

When you're putting something inside your universal orifice, material matters! You want something body-safe and easy to clean. Stick to these champions:

  • Silicone: This is often the go-to for beginners. It's soft, flexible, non-porous (which means it won't harbor bacteria), and generally feels great.
  • Glass: Elegant and smooth, glass is also non-porous and can be warmed or cooled for different sensations. Just be careful not to drop it!
  • Metal: These can offer satisfying weight and coolness. Like glass, they're non-porous and easy to clean.

Avoid anything porous like jelly or PVC, as these can be difficult to sanitize and might contain harmful chemicals.

Size Matters: Start Small, Dream Big (or Not!)

This isn't a fucking Olympics, babe, where bigger is always better—especially when you're starting out. The key is to begin with a size that feels comfortable and allows for gradual stretching.

  • Go Small: Seriously, start smaller than you think you need. A good beginner plug might be around 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  • Listen to Your Body: You can always work your way up in size as you become more comfortable and desirous of deeper sensations. But remember, you can change your mind at any time, and there's no shame in sticking with what feels good.

Must-Have: The Safety Base (or Flange!)

This is a hard no on anything without one! Every single butt plug, no matter how small, must have a flared base or flange. This isn't just a design quirk; it's a non-negotiable safety feature. Why? Because without it, the plug could get lost inside your rectum. Your body is designed to hold things in, and without a base, it could be difficult (and require medical assistance) to remove. So, always, always, always choose a plug with a base that is wider than the insertable portion.

Pleasure for All Bodies: It's Your Mindblowing Journey!

Remember, all consensual sex is good sex, and that includes anal play. Exploring your universal orifice with a butt plug can lead to incredible mind-blowing pleasure. For those with a prostate, a butt plug can provide consistent pressure on that P-spot, leading to intense orgasms. For others, it's about the unique sensations, the feeling of fullness, and the expansion of your tool kit of pleasure.

So, go forth, explore, and promote shame-free pleasure! You've got this, folks!
