How to use a butt plug?

Select the right one

Start small ! Many people go with a medium size or bigger, and then keep it stored for a long time. Since it’s all about relaxation and confidence, it is better to try a small size butt plug first. You can also buy a kit with severals size, so if you are confortable with the small one you can switch and try bigger.

Good hygiene

As with any anal sexual activity, you need to have a proper hygiene. Bacteria lives in your colon and can spread to your genital or mouth, and this can cause infections.
A butt plug need to be washed before and after each use. With warm water and soap, or if you have, a sex toy cleaning product. You can also consider to place a condom over the butt plug, especially if you might share the toy with your partner or use it elsewhere on your body.

Lubrication

You need to apply lub while using a butt plug. It’s even better to keep it nearby so you can put more during the act if needed.
The rectum doesn’t self-lubricate, so you’re going to have to help it out.
You can choose water-based or silicone-based lubricants. Keep in mind that with a silicon toy, you should use only water-based silicon.
Here’s the thing about silicone lubes, though: They’re awesome for anal play because they’re thick and tend to last longer than water-based varieties, but silicone breaks down silicone.. Glass or stainless steel butt plugs work wonderfully with any lubricant.

Set the mood

Things will go a lot easier if you allow yourself to get aroused and turned on. You muscles will relax and it’ll make it easier to enjoy anal stimulation. If you plan to use it with a partner, then foreplay are the best and will go a long way to be ready to use the plug.

That’s mean for example, you could try giving or receiving an erotic massage to be very relaxed and aroussed before using the plug.

Take your time

Insert the butt plug slowly, and begin by pushing only the tip into your anus. Hold it there for a moment, allowing your anal sphincter muscles to relax.
Here you can pull it out and take a break if you want. When you’re ready, reinsert the butt plug, pushing it slightly deeper. Breath slowly to relax your muscles. Continue this exercise until you can fully insert your butt plug. Be patient—you might not be able to insert the plug on your first try. But if you went for a small one it will probably go inside on your first attempt if you’re relax enough.
For some people it can be easier if the partner does it, especially if you have a lot of confidence in each others and if you already try anal practice like fingering or anulingus.
If you’re trying a butt plug during partnered sex for the first time, make sure you’ve spoken with your partner about any concern. If you’re going it alone, take your time. Start with a small toy, and gradually get acquainted with it and more comfortable. Insert it slowly and just sit there with it inside and see how it feels. Once you become comfortable (and aroused) you can graduate to a larger or more advanced toy.
