So, ready to add a little cheeky playtime to your repertoire?

The Surprising Benefits of Butt Plugs

Butt plugs are becoming more popular, and for a good reason. They offer a variety of benefits that go beyond just sexual pleasure. Here are some of the surprising benefits of using a butt plug:

Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor Muscles

We all know about Kegel balls, but did you know butt plugs can help strengthen your pelvic floor, too? Many muscles found in the pelvic floor can be massaged via anal stimulation improving the support to your bladder, uterus, and rectum that can weaken over time due to aging, pregnancy or childbirth. Using a butt plug can work to tone and strengthen these muscles, leading to better bladder control, improved sexual function, and even reduced risk of incontinence.

Our recommendation? The B-Vibe Snug Plug 4 is designed to help strengthen pelvic floor muscles with its tapered and weighted design, perfect for long-term wear.

Improved Prostate Health

Prostate havers get to enjoy the dual benefits of anal stimulation and improved prostate health with butt plugs. Regular prostate massage can help reduce inflammation, promote blood flow, and reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Explore New Kinds of Orgasms

Whether used alone or with a partner, butt plugs can take your orgasm to new heights. Butt plugs increase pressure on the perineal area, producing a “fuller” feeling, while stimulating nerve endings in and around the anus. All this additional sensation makes for a unique climactic experience.

Our recommendation? The Fun Factory Bootie Butt Plug, with its curved shape, is perfect for enhancing orgasms during solo or partnered play.

Exploration and Self-Discovery

Using a butt plug can also be an excellent way to explore and discover your body's pleasure zones. It can help you understand what you like and don't like, and can also lead to increased self-confidence and body positivity.

Enhanced Sensations During Sex

Butt plugs can also enhance sexual experiences with a partner, since they provide additional stimulation and increased fullness during penetration, leading to more intense and satisfying experiences for both partners.

A Beginner's Guide to Using Butt Plugs

Butt plugs are a great addition to your sexual exploration, but using them for the first time may feel intimidating to some. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you use your butt plug safely and comfortably:

1. Start Slowly

If you're new to using a butt plug, start with a smaller size—like the Tantus Perfect Beginner Plug—and work your way up to larger ones. This will help you get used to the sensation and avoid any discomfort.

2. Use Plenty of Lube

The anus doesn't naturally lubricate like the vagina does, so it's important to use plenty of lube. Choose a high-quality, water-based lube that's safe for use with sex toys. The Sliquid H2O is a popular water-based lube that's safe for use with all sex toys, including butt plugs.

3. Relax and Take Your Time

Before inserting the plug, take some deep breaths and relax your body. Slowly insert the plug, using plenty of lube as needed. If you experience any discomfort, stop and take a break or try a smaller size.

4. Find a Comfortable Position

Finding a comfortable position can help make the experience more enjoyable. You can lie on your back with your knees up, stand up and bend over, or even try a seated position.

5. Experiment with Different Sensations

Once the plug is inserted, experiment with different sensations by moving the plug in and out, twisting it, or even using vibration if you have your hands on something like a B-Vibe Snug Plug 1: Vibrating or a Lego Hugo 2 Prostate Massager. Pay attention to how your body responds and adjust as needed.

6. Remove the Plug Safely

When you're finished, remove the plug slowly and carefully. If you experience any discomfort, stop and take a break. Clean your plug thoroughly with soap and warm water or a toy cleaner like before storing it.

Using a butt plug can be a fun and pleasurable experience, but it's important to do so safely and comfortably. Remember to start slowly, use plenty of lube, find a comfortable position, experiment with different sensations, and remove the plug carefully.

Choosing the Perfect Butt Plug

Butt plugs are an excellent way to explore anal play, whether you're a beginner or an experienced user. With a range of shapes, sizes, and materials, it can be challenging to know where to start. But fear not, we've put together a guide to help you choose the perfect butt plug for you.

Size Matters (But Not as Much as You Think)

Size is something to consider when it comes to choosing your first butt plug. You want to find one that's comfortable and easy to insert, but not so small that it doesn't provide any stimulation. However, don't let size intimidate you. Start small, and work your way up to larger sizes if you want to. Remember, it's not about how big the plug is, but how it makes you feel. The Tantus Perfect Beginner Plug is an excellent starting point for beginners, with a modest size and tapered design for easy insertion.

Shape Up

The shape of your butt plug can also impact your experience. A tapered shape can make insertion easier, while a bulbous shape can provide a satisfying stretch. Some plugs have ridges or bumps for extra stimulation, while others have a curved shape to target the prostate.

Material World

The material of your butt plug can affect the sensation as well as impacting the overall hygiene of the toy. At Passionfruit we only stock butt plugs made of materials that are body-safe and easy to clean, like silicone and steel. We recommend steering away from jelly or rubber toys, which can be porous and difficult to clean, making them less hygienic. The Njoy Steel Plug is made of medical-grade stainless steel, which is durable, easy to clean, and provides a firm pressure for intense stimulation.

Base Instincts

The base of your butt plug is crucial for safety reasons. The base should be wide enough to prevent the toy from slipping inside the body and becoming lost. Look for a base that's comfortable and secure, but not too large that it's uncomfortable to wear.

Vibe Check

If you're looking for extra stimulation, a vibrating butt plug may be the perfect choice. Vibrations can provide added pleasure and make the experience more intense. Look for a plug with multiple vibration settings so you can customize your experience. Go the extra mile and try something like the remote controlled B-Vibe Rimming 2 or the app controlled Lovense Hush 2(1) for extra ease of use.

Choosing the perfect butt plug comes down to personal preference and comfort. Consider the size, shape, material, base, and additional features like vibration when making your selection. Remember to always use plenty of lube and take your time with insertion to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
