Trying out a butt plug for the first time doesn't need to be intimidating. You might want to pick a safe anal plug for lots of reasons, like:
- It sounds exciting – or even kinda dirty.
- You want to see how anal sex feels different than penis-in-vagina sex.
- You want to add a cute & sexy butt plug to your foreplay and more.
- Wearing a butt plug around outside your home sounds like risque fun.
- You're interested in whether prostate massage will give you the most intense orgasms.
Anal sex & anal plugging are another fun way to explore something new with a long-time partner, to turn yourself on during solo play, or to feel great about a cute anal plug (combined with sexy lingerie?!).
Butt plugs are popular because they're an easy way to try anal, or they can let you feel full inside as you go about your day! Here are 4 top picks you should check out when selecting a butt plug to enhance your intimate adventures:
1. Prepare for Anal Sex with Safe Anal Training
A great beginner butt plug kit will contain 3 butt plugs, spaced with gradually increasing girth from one plug, to the next.
When starting anal training, it's important to remember to use enough lubricant and proceed slowly! Sometimes, lubricant will slip off of butt plugs – so that more needs to be applied multiple times. 
An easy solution to this issue is a "lube launcher", which safely inserts lubricant into your rectum before you put a butt plug in! The Lux Active Equip kit includes a lubricant applicator just like this, along with 3 graduated plug sizes – plus a douche / enema bulb for clean-out beforehand.
2. Show Off Your Stuff 🍑
The adorable rose-shaped plug – M'Lady Light-Up Rotating Plug – is a treat for your derriere as it spins inside, and it's also incredibly sexy to show off to your partner:
Try leaning over the side of the bed so they can get the full picture, as the Rotating Plug's base lights up as it rests between the butt cheeks!
Or, for even more sparkle, find either the:
- Fancy Sparkle Plug glimmers with ✨ safely sealed inside see-through borosilicate glass, sturdily annealed.
- Fancy Rose plug has a cute pink rose poking outside, as the ultra-smooth & slick glass slides inside. This glass repels odors and is shatter-resistant.
- Roses Til Dawn 3-pack rose butt plug kit! Their anal canal can progress up in size as each floral booty plug offers a lil more – and, see the cute shape remaining securely outside the anus.
3. Twist for More Feeling!
The Lux Active Twist (available in both small and large!) includes a sensual spiral texture along its body, designed to heighten every movement.
Great for any body, the Twist anal plug includes an easy-grip hexagonal base, perfect for stable handling even when fully lubricated! To feel the spiral twist best, rotate its full silicone length in slow circles – while gently thrusting the plug's tip inside.
4. Try Out Prostate Pleasure
The prostate gland, often called the "male G-spot," is a source of intense pleasure for many who venture into anal play. Learning to use your P-spot for more intense orgasms involves 1.) taking several sessions to get used to the newness of having an anal probe inside, 2.) learning to let the sensations wash over you & never trying to force orgasm by pushing too hard.
So what's the best prostate massager to get started? You have a few great options.
When choosing a prostate massager that actively stimulates, you can select from:
- Vibrating options that rumble, rock with patterns, and buzzzz.
- A rotating prostate probe that massages the spot automatically.
- If your P-spot prefers no vibration, then a solid pressure prostate-seeking plug is the right choice. The LX1 Lux Active was made to reach the spot for gentle massage, allowing you to easily grip its ring-loop base when needed.
