Play with your behind with confidence with these best beginner butt plugs.
Not all anal toys are meant for beginners, and that's not a bad thing! If you're someone who craves thick fullness, a toy that's friendly to someone who just started just wouldn't be all that fulfilling. It's one of the things we love about the world of sex; we all have our own goals and preferences!
However, that means that not all butt plugs are made for those just dipping their toes into the world of anal play. In fact, some can be downright dangerous (you don't want to go too big!). Sticking with slender sizes makes for safer, more pleasurable, and more orgasmic anal play. Plus, it'll slide in much faster, letting you get to those yummy sensations more quickly!
But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Let us explain:
If you're asking this question, you might already have a good feeling the answer is "no" - and it is!
But instead of leaving you with a single word answer, let's talk about why you shouldn't use big butt plugs if you're a beginner. It's because of your anal sphincters.
For a realistic real-world example, think about doing the splits. If you've never stretched the splits in your life, dropping into a split will (literally) break you. You'll tear muscles. If you've practiced your splits for years now, though, splits might just be a typical Tuesday morning before you've even had your coffee.
The same thing, effectively, applies to using butt plugs. There are, essentially, two tight rings of muscle at the entrance to your butt. On an everyday level, these two rings of muscle make sure all the things that are inside stay inside until you're ready for things to happen otherwise.
But this also means that they stay closed up tight for 98% of your life.
In order to slide a butt plug inside of the body, we need to get past these two rings of muscle. If those muscles are tight, as they will be when you're new to anal penetration, trying to force them to open up for a large butt plug can tear them.
Instead, you want to start with a smaller butt plug. When going small, the plug can very gently push the muscles - like doing lunges to stretch yourself to eventually doing the splits. It's a small, gradual stretch - not a muscle tearing one.
Over time, the muscles will get used to gently opening up for larger sizes, allowing you to gradually use larger and larger anal toys.
Starting with a small butt plug drastically reduces the risk of tearing. Anal tears should be avoided at all costs. Because of where we're playing, anal tears can easily become infected (not to mention they're really painful and uncomfortable!). We want to do everything possible to avoid pushing the body beyond where it's ready to go.
If you've never done anything anal before, we recommend a plug between 0.75" and 1.25" in diameter.
If you've enjoyed anal intercourse or have penetrated with more than 2 fingers, toys in the 1.25" to 1.5" diameter range may be a better fit.
With that in mind, let's start with some of these best beginner butt plugs for the butt-curious:
If you only want a single butt plug, it's hard to go wrong with the b-Vibe Snug Plugs. These innovative plugs use weights and an ultra-flexible, super-slim retention area for comfortable, all-day wear. With a tapered tip for easy insertion, they're some of our favorite butt plugs to DIY your own anal plug set.
The coolest thing about the Snug Plugs is their 7 incremental size offerings. If you're not ready for a full anal kit now, you can simply pick up the Snug Plug that's the best fit for you right now. Down the line, if you want something thicker, you're already familiar with how Snug Plugs work and feel, and you'll be able to purchase one that's just ever-so-slightly larger than your current fave.
If you've never used a finger or anything else in your bum before, we'd recommend the size 1. If you're occasionally comfortable with two fingers, we'd recommend the size 2 or 3.
b-Vibe Snug Plugs start at a diameter of 0.8" with some plugs having a max diameter of 2.5"!
Most people into anal have an eventual "goal" they'd like to achieve. For most people, it's comfortable, pleasurable anal sex with a biological penis.
If that's the case for you too, we'd recommend the b-Vibe Anal Training Set. It's, by-far, the most comprehensive kit we've ever seen (or sold!) for gradual, safe anal stretching.
Including three plugs, the smallest is designed for people with zero anal experience. The largest is crafted to be about the width of a biological penis. As you work your way through the plugs, you also get to play with unique sensations as each anal plug offers its own functions including vibrations and a weighted design.
Especially if you're brand new to anal play, you'll really appreciate the included comprehensive guide that explains how to safely (and pleasurably!) use every item within the kit. This kit pretty much has everything you need aside from the lube!
The smallest plug in this kit has a diameter of 1" with the largest at a diameter of 1.6".
Looking for pleasurable, unique internal sensations at a very budget-friendly price? That's the Blush Luxe Vibra Slim.
This unique butt plug is hollow on the inside. Inside of that hollow chamber is a little metal ball. As you move around while wearing the plug, the metal ball knocks around the inside of the plug, adding light, very-unique sensations. How often do things move around inside of you while walking?
We recommend the Small if you're new to any anal penetration, and the Medium if you've enjoyed anal sex with a partner before. The Small has a diameter of 1" while the Medium has a diameter of 1.5".
Are you looking for beginner butt plugs to wear during penis-in-vagina sex? If so, the Fun Factory Bootie Fem may have literally been made for you! This unique, beginner-friendly butt plug is specially crafted to be worn by a vulva-owner during penis-in-vagina intercourse.
Its proprietary shape is designed to push into the vaginal canal while worn, adding fullness to intercourse for both partners. The asymmetric base stays away from the vaginal entrance during wear, making it easy for seamless play.
The Bootie Fem's widest diameter is 1.14" with a diameter of 0.39" at the tip for easier insertion.
While not a butt plug, we want to follow up an anal toy for vulva-owners with an anal toy for penis-owners. That anal toy happens to be the Nexus Simul8. This prostate massager is attached to two cock rings. When wrapped around the body, it hits the prostate, the perineum, the testicles, and the shaft all at once!
The Simul8 offers 2 vibration motors - both placed to get vibrations exactly where you want them. These vibrations hit the prostate, but they also travel through the cock ring to pleasure the testicles and shaft.
Plus, while the Simul8 works its magic, the majority of the shaft is still open for business, allowing you to add a penis stroker or your hand for even more enjoyment.
The Simul8's widest diameter is 1.3".
If you're here because you're trying to figure out the 10 best beginner butt plugs for the butt-curious, you may not know that lube is a must-have for anal play.
The butt doesn't make its own slickness. You have to do it for it!
Adding lube will make everything so much more pleasurable, and it drastically reduces your risk of anal tearing. If something could be more pleasurable, you'd want it to be, right? Simply adding lube can do that.
If lube choices overwhelm you, just know that you're looking for anything that's a water-based lube. (Water-based lubes are compatible with all safer sex barriers and sex toy materials.)
If that's still too overwhelming, just go with our customer favorite: Wicked Anal Jelle. The super-thick formula stays in place and lasts longer than other thinner, runnier anal lubes.
If you know anal training is part of the appeal, this Doc Johnson set offers three butt plugs in graduated sizes at a much more budget-friendly price than our customer favorite, the b-Vibe Anal Training Kit. These plugs are plain ol' plugs, but they'll get the job done!
Each one of the plugs has a flat, circular base to sit comfortably between the cheeks. For a touch of humor, the words "Play with my butt, not my heart" is printed onto the base of each one.
The smallest diameter on this butt plug set is a very manageable 1" while the largest is a 1.5".
If you're going for extra sensation, the b-Vibe Vibrating Weighted Snug Plugs might be the best beginner butt plug for you. This plug, available in multiple sizes for the right fit, shares the exact same design as our best-selling Snug Plug with one big difference: this one is equipped with vibrations!
Simply use the button on the base of the Vibrating Weighted Snug Plug to turn on the vibrations before sliding the large, filling plug inside. These vibrations partner with the toy's weight, making for impossible-to-forget sensations that are even long-term wear and public play friendly.
We definitely recommend the sizes 1, 2, or 3 if you're new to anal play! The smallest plug has a diameter of 1" while the widest has a diameter at 1.9".
If you're exploring the best beginner butt plugs in hopes of having new sensations during intercourse, we'd love to introduce you to the Rocks-Off Cocktail Vibrator. This unique anal plug isn't just a "plug"; it's actually a couple's vibrator that slides into the butt and the vagina at the same time!
Simply slide the butt plug into the butt. Simultaneously, allow the flexible vaginal probe to slide towards the vaginal entrance (and inside, if desired!)
Once there, the Cocktail was crafted to be used during penis-in-vagina sex. Your partner's shaft can slide in alongside the extra-slender vaginal probe. Not only does this allow you to both to share the pleasurable, remote-controlled vibrations, but it makes for fuller, tighter sensations for both of you.
The Cocktail's insertable anal plug diameter is 1.2". It has a very tapered tip to provide comfortable, patient penetration.
Are you seeing green over all of the high-tech, advanced features of the plugs available in larger sizes? If so, b-Vibe didn't want you to feel left out! The b-Vibe Remote Novice Plug is a slenderized version of some of their larger plugs, offering some of the high-quality fun features of thicker plugs in a size that's more friendly to your body.
Not only is the Novice Plug equipped with the powerful vibrating motor of its larger brethren, but that motor puts out 15 vibration patterns and 6 vibration intensities. Those pleasurable sensations are remote controlled with a remote that has an impressive 30 foot range.
Making it easy to play with the Novice Plug wherever the mood strikes, it also includes a travel case, is equipped with travel lock, has a low-battery life indicator light, is magnetically chargeable, and is splashproof for easier cleaning.
The Novice plug's diameter caps out at 1".
If you've always dreamed about app-controlled control and butt plugs, you don't have to wait to give it a try. The Lovense Hush 2 butt plug is available in a 1" diameter, perfect for those who have never tried anal before. (A 1" diameter will be slightly wider than a single finger!)
The Hush 2's claim to fame is its Bluetooth functionality. You can turn on your beginner butt plug, wirelessly sync it to the free cell phone app, and enjoy synchronized vibrations to music, videos, games, and online lovers. It opens up a whole host of ways to explore the magic of online functionality - and you can do it in a great beginner butt plugs size!
If you love the functionality, down the line, the Hush 2 plug is also available in a 1.5", 1.75", and 2" diameter too. So if you want something thicker later, you won't have to give up your new favorite app. ;)
