Hot pink and shaped kind of like an over-sized pacifier, this silicone butt plug comes in three different sizes (small – 1”x 1 4/5”, medium – 1 ¼”x2 ½”, large – 1 ½”x 2 ½”).  While they may be a little wide for some beginners, I’d say that all of these plugs are great for just starting to play with the butt.  Their teardrop shape allows the narrow tip to easily slide into your asshole and then gradually get bigger and bulbous before returning to the narrowness of the neck that keeps it help securely in place.  These plugs even have a ring molded into the silicone to make pulling it out as easy as possible.  The ring is pretty much what makes me automatically think of pacifiers and rattles.  What can I say, I’ve been working around dirty stuff so long that my mind has made it full circle back to being completely clean.

Unlike some sex toys, the Pop Plugs are most definitely non-threatening.  If you are looking for a butt plug to introduce to a partner that may be anxious the booty, this would be a great option to offer up.   And being silicone, this toy is 100% body safe and super easy to clean and sterilize.  The satiny silicone makes the Pop Plug go in nice smoothly as well.

While both my partner and I are a little more advanced with the booty play, we still appreciated having a simple, easy-to-use toy.  We got a medium plug to test out, which was a little on the small side, so we used it to warm up with before moving on to a bigger plug.  The Pop Plug was a great opening act and stayed firmly in place as we worked ourselves into a more excited frenzy.  Plus the ring made it super easy to pop out as we moved on to a bigger toy.  All-in-all, the Pop Plug an awesome toy for those just starting out, more advanced anal adventurers, and everyone in between.

For those of you who may not know the genius of Tristan Taormino, let me pause for a second and give a little schooling.  Tristan is an author, educator, columnist, porn director and all around expert in all things anal.  This lady is downright amazing!  And awesome for us, silicone toy maker Vixen Creations teamed up with Taormino to create the ultimate anal plug – The Tristan!

The initial partnership happened a little while ago (not sure when), and now there is a second, larger Tristan, but we were lucky enough to get our pervy little paws on the original Tristan (which is now called the Tristan 1).  Measuring in at 3” long, with a 1 ½” diameter of the head and a 1”+ neck diameter, this plug is the perfect size for both beginners and folks with a little bit of booty play experience.  When it comes to advanced anal, I’d go with the Tristan 2 or something a little bit larger.

There were a few reasons we really wanted to review this specific butt plug.  We clearly knew that anything with Tristan’s stamp of approval had to be one hell of an anal adventure!  A big reason we were interested was that the specific shape of the Tristan offers up some unique features – the long neck of this plug really helps it stay securely in your ass and the rectangular base with the concave cutouts rests comfortably between your cheeks.

I was looking for a plug that could easily be worn while walking around and doing unrelated tasks, and Tristan definitely fit the bill!  With other shaped plugs, it seems like they fall out of the anus easily and even the gravity of the base can pull it out quickly.  The Tristan’s longer neck allows the sphincter muscles to hold on tight and keep the plug feeling snug – which means you can take it out of the house without worrying about it falling out!  Ask us how we know

Another major plus of anything by Vixen Creations is that all their toys are made of the best quality materials and most are 100% Platinum, which is the highest grade of silicone.  This means that they are easy to sterilize (boil or dishwasher), incredibly durable (with a lifetime guarantee from Vixen!), super body safe (phthalate free!) and basically just amazing!

Oh, and you can get this fabulous butt plug with a hollowed out base and mini vibe, making it an anal vibrator for only a few more $!  Silicone also transmits vibrations like a champ, so this is a total bonus! We didn’t get the vibe version, but were quite pleased with the standard model.

Thank you Vixen and Tristan for making a butt plug that is perfect for all the anal action we could ask for!

While I am no longer an anal amateur, I requested the Little Flirt butt plug to replace a Flirt that was lost during my many moves throughout the years. As sad as it was to lose such a dear toy, I wasn’t too torn up, since I did get an updated version of the Little Flirt! And let me tell you – those few new changes have totally made the difference!

The new and improved Little Flirt features a longer neck, which helps keep it securely inside your rectum, as well as special cut outs on the sides of the flared base that are perfectly shaped to help this little guy stay nestled between your cheeks and right where it needs to be. Little Flirt is also a great plug to wear around for a long time without feeling too full or like there is something gigantic in your rear.

And we can’t forget that this little guy is made of 100% silicone, which means it’s super easy to clean and sterilize (boil, bleach solution or dishwasher!), as well as totally body safe. Just be sure to lay off the silicone lube – we don’t want any melting butt plugs!

Even as an experienced bottom, I still really like to go back to the Little Flirt when it comes to getting prepared for action and working up to some of my bigger backdoor buddies. And for my not-so-anally-savvy dates, beginners luck is a given when you add a bit of passion, a dollop of lube and, or course, a Little Flirt!

As shown in the picture, this toy us made of two bulbous shapes – a long one and a small one at the top.  The indentation at the base works to keep the plug inside once you’ve completed the full insertion. With proper lubrication (only use water-based, not silicone lube), the small bulb slides in without too much force. It feels strange to have something entering instead of exiting, so give yourself a minute to relax and realize there is no pain, just a new sensation.

Once your muscles are fully relaxed, you can insert the remainder of the plug up to the base. The feeling for me was a bit overwhelming. I was thinking that there was no way I was going to enjoy anything with this plug in my ass,  so I gave myself a minute to relax. Okay, maybe three or four minutes. It still felt VERY strange. I checked to make sure it was inserted all the way by pushing on the end just a bit more. There is a base to it, so there was no fear of it accidentally slipping all the way into my ass with no escape. After the last small push I felt it enter into the right position and settle. It was not in all the way…

Now I lingered for a while, just allowing my body to feel the different senses I was unaware of that hide in my ass. It was sort of nice. It was very different and yet, very nice. My mind went into all different directions of new possibilities of how I can use this during sex – with my partner, without.  It was a kind of letting the cat out of the bag, so to speak, as I lay with a plug in my ass.

It didn’t take long at all for my little mini-vibe to bring on an orgasm. With the toy in my ass, my orgasm felt more intense – nerves and such were pulsing that may have originally been doing so and I didn’t ever know. I thought my muscles were contracting so hard the plug would shoot out of my ass, but it stayed put. It is hard to explain the feeling. You know something is different; it’s unique, yet not necessarily distracting. There is a little bit of pressure during the orgasm, but not one of pain.  More a type of gratification; an over the top orgasm.

When it was all said and done, I relaxed all of my muscles and easily removed the plug. Washed up with some soap and warm water and tucked it away for a second try later.

Since the first initial try, I have used it three additional times. For someone who felt an ass was for Exit Only, this toy has changed my mind and also opened it to new ideas. Starting small was definitely the way to go and as I gain confidence, there are many toys that will need to be tested and reviewed. I am much more likely to volunteer for the anal toys now that I’ve had a chance to experience the pleasure of it, instead of the uneasiness I had the first time around.

Head to Good Vibes for your own Sidekick!

A deliciously curved, two tiered silicone butt plug, the Warhol totally lives up to its name – it’s a work of art. Elegant enough for the mantle, but way more fun when functional, this beginner sized (read: smallish) booty toy utilizes that signature ‘come-hither’ crooked finger shape associated with G/P-spot stimulation to up the pleasure ante. Just insert with the curve facing toward the front of your body and apply a little light pressure to get the party started for whatever ‘spot’ you have! That’s right, the G-spot is accessible through the ass too! Of course don’t forget the lube (not silicone lube though – it will melt your toy!).

Lots of anal playthings are great, but when it comes to amazing butt toys, the real delight is in the details – and let’s just say this plug passed with flying colors (and mind-blowing orgasms). While many butt plug bases are round, Warhol’s is shaped to snuggle perfectly between the cheeks and keep itself firmly in place. And don’t forget to take a quick peek at the base, where there is a nice little reservoir molded to hold a bullet vibe. Since silicone transfers vibrations like a champ, this is a seriously awesome addition. I suggest adding a few drops of lube to the bullet before inserting it into the hole so it comes out super easily for cleanup.

And cleanup couldn’t be easier – just pull out the vibe and drop the plug in a pot of boiling water (3-5 mins) or run it through the dishwasher on the top shelf with no soap, or even just wipe it down with a bleach solution (10% bleach to 90% water). Totally disinfected and clean as a whistle in minutes.

While Andy Warhol was known for expecting only 15 minutes of fame, this Warhol will bring you a lifetime of enjoyment.

After reading this handy dandy little article on the Frisky, I decided it was time for a little HM4H public service announcement: Please don’t stick hammerheads up your butt.

Actually, there are a lot of items you shouldn’t be sticking where the sun doesn’t shine (in spite of the popularity of the expression.) Cups and broom handles are pretty popular on the Rectal Foreign Bodies list, but bottles are the most common foreign body removed – from the body. So please remember, be safe and chose a quality toy designed to not get stuck up there, like the Ophoria Rapture or a nice Rook E Glass Crystal Butt Plug (a toy with a flared base.) Even with a toy designed for anal play always remember to be safe, consensual and careful.

In the first section I covered all the basics of why people have anal sex, the fears surrounding anal play, the expectations involved with anal sex and all of the basic anatomy of the butt.  Now we get to talk about safety, prep, techniques and toys – all the super sexy good stuff!

Safety Basics

- Anal sex should not hurt. If it hurts, you are doing something wrong.

- Lube, Lube Lube, Lube, Lube! When it comes to butts, you can never use enough lube! Your ass does not self lubricate (like a vagina) so lube is super, extra important. For anal sex, thicker lubes are great. Your best bet is either silicone or water-based lube (as oil-based lubes can weaken condoms, if you are using them), but remember that you cannot use silicone lube with silicone toys. Also remember to add more lube frequently. If you think you’re using too much lube, add some more.

- Whatever you put up your butt must have a flared base that is bigger than the object, keeping it from going all the way in and getting stuck in your rectum. It is no fun and usually ends with a trip to the ER to get whatever it is extracted.

- Never go from the anus to the vagina or mouth without first washing off the toy, penis, finger, what have you. You can go from vag/mouth to butt, but the other way can lead to all sorts of nasty infections that you don’t want.

- Patience! Start slow and keep communication open throughout the experience. Make sure the person attached to the ass is doing alright and feeling good.

- Desensitizing lubes and gels that have a numbing effect (like Anal Ease) aren’t the answer to pain free anal sex and they can actually cause more injury. What you can’t feel can end up hurting you. Plus, if you can’t feel anything, what about your pleasure? Pleasure is the point.

- Keep your fingernails short and clean with smooth edges. The butt has delicate tissues that don’t like to be scratched or torn. If you want to finger an ass and also maintain your mani, try wearing latex gloves. They aren’t just for doctors! Also, if you do have long nails that you want to keep, put a cotton ball in the fingertip of each glove and get to business.

Preparation for Anal Play

- Make sure you are turned on. Get yourself in the mood and get comfortable. Maybe even have an orgasm first to relax and get your blood pumping!

- Take lots of deep breaths! Play some calming music to get relaxed. Anything that gets you comfortable.

- Clench and release your sphincter muscles a few times to get to know your body and how it feels. Try doing it fast and slow to see how it feels.

- Explore yourself. Get to know what’s back there! Start by feeling around the outside of your anus with your finger and when you’re ready, try inserting a well-lubed finger inside your anus.

- Take advantage of shower time and explore while you are nice and soapy.

- Speaking of soap. If you are nervous about dealing with feces, go to the bathroom prior to anal play to clear out anything in your bowels. You can also shower first and insert a soapy finger into your anus to get rid of anything additional. Some people prefer to do an enema before anal sex, but it is not a necessity. You/your partner can also wear a latex glove and/or condom to make clean up a snap.

Techniques & Tips

- Start with a butt massage to get your partner in the mood and relaxed. Begin with kneading the cheeks and running your fingers along the crack before you even reach for the butt hole.

- When you do get to the butt hole, spend some time on the outside before heading straight in. Trace little circles around the opening to the anus with a well-lubed finger. Press the puckered opening (like you would a doorbell) without inserting your finger. Ask your partner (or you, whoever’s ass is being played with) to clench and relax their sphincter muscles while you play with their anus.

- Use your fingertips to press along the butt crack, including the anus.

-Lube up your thumbs and press the pads of them against the anus, switching off in a circular motion – kind of like you are twiddling your thumbs slowly.

-Don’t forget about the genitals too! Just because you are having fun in the back, you should still remember about the vagina, clit, penis, testicles, breasts, kissing , etc. Have your partner play with their own genitals while you have fun exploring their butt!

-When you are ready to go into the anus, have your partner breathe deeply a few times and the last time they exhale, insert your index finger (well-lubed!) into their anus to the first knuckle. Go slowly and be sure to ask your partner if they are ok, if they want you to slow down, go faster, add fingers, etc.

- Once your finger/fingers are inside your partner’s butt, don’t just start thrusting in and out. Stay still for a little bit to get them accustom to the feeling. Have them clench and release a few times to see how they are enjoying it.

-Some people really like when you explore them by pressing your fingers along the inside walls when you are inside their ass. Try up, down, left and right. Go slow and don’t push too hard.

-Once they get comfortable with your fingers and are having fun, maybe incorporate a toy into the experience. A butt plug is always fun because it is designed to stay put while you have fun with other parts of their body (just wash your hands/take of gloves).

- Anal sex can be done in just about any position that vaginal sex can be done. Some people really enjoy the access that they have with doggy style (entering the ass from behind while the recipient is on their knees, bent over), while other people prefer the “bottom” to be on “top,” as they can control the speed and depth of the penetration better with that position. You can also try missionary, spooning, standing, legs over the head, whatever! As you as you can reach the butt you need!

- Remember, the first few inches of the butt are the most sensitive, so you don’t need to go in super far to have a pleasurable experience.

-Don’t forget about the G-Spot and P-Spot, which are both accessible from the anus.

 Here are a few tips of anal toys, including some we have reviewed!

Anal Beads:A series of small beads that are attached by a string or a stalk. Sometimes the beads are the same size and sometimes the increase gradually in size. (Flexi Felix is pictured)

Butt Plug:Diamond or mushroom shaped anal toy with a tapered neck and a flared base. Designed to stay put in your butt. (Little Flirt is pictured)

Anal Beads:Usually a smaller, thinner dildo with a flared base. Great for thrusting in and out. They can be used in a harness as well. (Compact is pictured)

Anal Vibe: A toy that vibrates to stimulate sensitive genital and anal tissues. Lots of butt plugs and dildos come with vibrating bullets that can be inserted into the toy. (Waterproof P-Spot Vibe is pictured)

Prostate Toy: Toys that are specifically designed to stimulate a man’s prostate gland and can intensify orgasm. (Pictured is Aneros MGX)

Now that you’ve got all the sexy, sexy info, go hit those sheets!

Remember to enjoy yourself!  It’s sex, it’s supposed to be fun!

Putting glass up your ass is generally considered a no-no. Aside from being extremely dangerous and harmful to all your delicate tissues, I can imagine it would hurt like a bitch. But think about all the benefits of glass… it can be so silky smooth, take temperature change like a champ and be really heavy when you want it to be. Sigh, that sounds so fun. Good thing some scientist somewhere decided to make a fracture-resistant glass that later allowed an awesome pervert to fashion it into the ultimate glass butt plug!

That’s the Rook E Glass Crystal Butt Plug for you! Science’s gift to the anal connoisseur. What sets this plug apart from others is definitely its material. While I love, love, love silicone toys, glass provides a few extra benefits that silicone just can’t offer. First off, glass is super smooth and only takes the smallest drop of lube to get it nice and slippery (though I suggest using more than just a drop when you are hitting the back door), and it offers little to no friction resistance as it slides into your body. Glass also takes temperature change extremely well and the Rook E can be cooled down and chilly or heated up to a perfect body temperature using warm and ice cold water. So easy. Also, with silicone toys you get a little give, which the Rook E does not allow. The solid glass keeps rigid and feels more filling than a silicone plug of the exact same size. And speaking of size…

Two of my favorite aspects of this big guy are its weight and size. Measuring in at 4½ inches long and 1½ inches at its widest point, I might not say the Rook E is for rookies exactly, but if you are an experienced anal adventurer, this plug should work out just fine. Plus it starts out small and gets bigger, so it’s a fun toy to test out girth with. While I’m not quite sure how much it weighs (I’d guess about the same as a lighter paperweight?), this glass crystal toy is no feather. The weight is what makes it so fun. Though it’s not usually easy to forget you have something in your ass, with this toy you will most definitely know it’s back there at all times. Heavy, big and rigid – the perfect plug trifecta. Hold on a sec while I fan myself…

 I also really like that Rook E is clear glass. Not everybody wants to be able to see a bit into someone’s open butthole, but I like the idea that the option is there. Hey, I write for a porn company – I’m a known pervert and sex educator, and I’m not ashamed to want to get a better look into a bottom! You shouldn’t be either. Butts are the best and should be enjoyed just like every other part of the body!

When it comes to butt plugs, the Rook E is a great flared based toy that stays where it’s put, fills you up and will last a lifetime. Two thumbs up for my new best butty!

Buy a Rook E Glass Crystal Butt Plug of your very own!

From the first time I held a njoy toy in my hand, I knew I was sold. One hundred percent medical grade stainless steel in all shapes, sizes and weights – even writing it is enough to give me a tingle in my bottom. My first njoy was the Pure Wand, a pure slice of heaven weighing in at 24 ounces of pleasure. That G-spot hitting barbell of delight began my need for metal between my legs, and I don’t mean a motorcycle.

Knowing that my vag would be pretty occupied with the wand, I decided to try out a toy that would work well in my other bottom half hole. That’s right, my butt. That underutilized ring of sensitive nerves and deliciously moan-worthy sensations. Knowing that I enjoyed anal sex with partners in the past, but never really exploring my butt solo, I thought that any company that could come up with such a magic wand would be perfect to tap into my masturbation virginal butthole.

Enter the Pfun, a 10.6 ounce, stainless steel, handled butt plug. With a glans shaped tip and slender neck, this toy was perfect at staying put once I started playing. The handy ergonomic handle was easy to grip and nice and sturdy for pulling the plug in and out. While the thrill of the cold metal felt amazing when I began playing, I really liked that the metal warmed to my body temperature quickly. If I wanted I could have even put Pfun in a dish of ice water or warm water before I started to get it just the right degree before going to town.

Because the Pfun is so weighty, it gives you a very full feeling, though I wouldn’t say that it is girthy at all. I will admit that the head was a little large looking at first, but once I got myself nice and worked up, I had no problems. I will say that lube is a must with any anal play and that in this instance it was my best friend. Plus, one of the awesome things about playing with metal is that you can use both silicone and water-based lubes without fear of ruining your toy! While silicone lube lasts longer and I would have rather used that, I only had water-based lube on hand and it worked out just fine, though I had to add more every so often. Unfortunately I don’t have a prostate to stimulate to attest to the perfect P-Spot hitting angles, but I will say that I could feel my G-Spot being rubbed from the toy and it was amazing.
The Pfun is a great butt plug. I might not suggest it for butt hole beginners, as it’s fairly intimidating and silicone has more give, but for the more experienced, I say forgo going out a few weekends and spend the cash on something that will definitely make you feel better than a few drinks and a hangover. It’s worth the money.

Have some fun of your own with the Pfun Plug!
