Safety Tips for Using a Large Butt Plug

Let’s talk about the golden rule of anal exploration: using a butt plug safely is sexy. When you approach this practice with care and respect, you open the door to a world of pleasure as an empowered woman in a way that feels safe, and sustainable.

Start Slow

This isn’t a competition. Start with a small butt plug to gently introduce your body to the sensation and stretch. The Pink Aventurine Butt Plug is our smallest anal plug & is the perfect toy to start with. When your body feels ready, and only when it’s ready, you can begin to size up.

Use Plenty of Lubricant

Lubrication is non-negotiable. A silicone-based lube offers unmatched glide and longevity, while water-based options are safe for all toy materials, including silicone toys, to avoid any damage. Apply generously, more than you think you need. Let every glide and slip be as smooth and effortless as your pleasure deserves to be.

Choose a Flared Base

A flared base is your safety anchor, ensuring that anal plugs stay exactly where they should, and it also allows for easy removal. Without it, you risk an unwelcome (and potentially embarrassing) trip to the ER. No base? No play. Period.

Clean Thoroughly

After every use, wash it with warm water and a mild soap or gentle toy cleaner. For non-porous materials like silicone, a quick boil or UV sterilizer adds an extra layer of hygiene. We do not recommend boiling crystals as it can sometimes affect the stone structure, and some find that it dulls the energetic properties of the stone.

Listen to Your Body

Your body is your wisest guide. If something feels off, whether it’s pain, resistance, or just a sense of “not now”, listen. Stop, reassess, and never force what isn’t flowing. Pleasure thrives in trust, and trust begins with honoring your body’s messages.

Tips for Beginners Transitioning to Larger Butt Plugs

  • Start Small, Move with Intention: Begin with smaller plugs and let your body get used to the sensation. Once you feel comfortable, move up in size gradually.

  • Train Your Body with Care: Transitioning to larger sizes when experimenting with butt play requires patience and practice. Use smaller plugs or dilators to stretch your muscles over time. Spend a few minutes each session breathing deeply, relaxing, and letting your body adapt to the new sensation.

  • Focus on Relaxation and Breath: Your body opens when it feels safe. Create a calming environment with candles, soft music, and warm lighting. Practice deep belly breaths, focusing on relaxing your pelvic floor with each exhale. Let your body lead, and don’t force what doesn’t feel ready.

  • Are large butt plugs safe?


    Yes, large butt plugs are safe when used correctly. They are designed for anal insertion and provide a unique form of stimulation. When it comes to anal penetration, it's important to use plenty of lubrication and to listen to your body. Start with smaller sizes and gradually work your way up to larger plugs to ensure comfort and safety. Always choose high-quality materials and follow proper hygiene practices to enhance your experience and avoid any potential risks.

  • Can a large butt plug help prepare me for anal sex?


    Absolutely. A butt plug can be a powerful and practical tool for preparing your body for anal sex. It provides an intentional warm-up, a way to gently introduce your body to the sensations of fullness and relaxation while building trust with yourself.


    Inserting a butt plug helps your anal muscles become accustomed to stretch and pressure over time. This process not only reduces tension but also teaches your body how to relax, making anal penetration more comfortable and enjoyable.


    Pair the use of a butt plug with plenty of lubrication, deep breathing, and relaxation techniques. When your body learns to associate anal stimulation with comfort and pleasure, anal sex can become not only accessible but something you genuinely look forward to exploring!

  • What if I feel discomfort?


    Discomfort is not a sign to push through; it’s your body asking for patience. Anal play is an act of trust, and discomfort is simply your body saying, not yet.


    Begin with a smaller plug that feels inviting, not intimidating. Lubricant is your ally in anal pleasure too. Coat the plug liberally, and don’t be shy about reapplying. A silicone-based lube is perfect for anal play because it stays silky smooth for longer.


    Your pelvic floor holds tension, often without you realizing it. As you exhale, imagine your muscles softening like a flower opening to the sun. Using a butt plug can help relax the anal muscles, making the experience more comfortable. If your body says stop, listen. There’s no rush; this is your journey.

  • How do I clean my butt plug?


    Pleasure thrives in a space of reverence, and cleaning your plug is part of that ritual. Treat it as the sacred object it is, and it will serve you well. After use, wash your plug with warm water and a mild soap or gentle, toy-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh soaps that can degrade certain materials.


    For non-porous plugs (like silicone or glass), boil them for a few minutes to ensure they’re thoroughly sterilized. This is especially important if you’re sharing your sex toys with a partner.


    Do not boil your crystal toys, including crystal butt plugs. Boiling can weaken the integrity and energetic properties of the crystal.


    Keep your plug in its velvet pouch or a clean, dry space. By taking care of your toy, you’re also taking care of your body.

  • Can I wear a butt plug for extended periods?

    Yes, and it can be a deliciously grounding experience, but it requires a touch of mindfulness.


    • Start Small: Begin with short sessions, around 15–30 minutes, to let your body adjust to the sensation of prolonged fullness.

    • Tune Into Your Body: Extended wear should feel like an enhancement, not a strain. If you notice tension or discomfort during backdoor play, honor that as your body’s wisdom and remove the plug.

    • Stay Lubricated: A generous application of lube keeps everything feeling smooth and supported, especially for longer wear.

    • Feel the Energy: Wearing a plug throughout the day creates an intimate awareness of your body’s aliveness. It’s a secret thrill, a subtle reminder of your sensuality in the most mundane moments.
