There are a couple of things you should always look for when buying an anal plug. The first is to make sure that it has a flared base or retrieval cord, although I definitely prefer the first more. No one wants to lose a toy up their ass and have to make an embarrassing trip to the ER for removal. The second is what material is your toy made from. If you’re going to be wearing a butt plug around the house while you’re dusting, you don’t want it to be leaking nasty chemicals into your body the entire time. You also want it to be something that can be sterilized (for obvious reasons) like medical grade silicone or glass.
Considering those two things will help you rule out a lot of lesser items, but there are still a ton of great butt plugs to chose from. Here are five of my favorites!
1. Tantus Slim – This is my pick for beginners. It’s made from silicone, so it can be sterilized after use, and it’s a great size for someone who is just starting out with anal play. I love Tantus toys because they are built to last a lifetime with proper care plus they are totally affordable!

2. NJOY Pure Plug – This is essentially the Rolls Royce of butt plugs. Crafted from Stainless Steel and available in three sizes, there’s one for everyone! Equally fun for hot bedroom play or to wear all day for some naughty secret stimulation, njoy’s Pure Plugs truly shine where the sun don’t!
3. Tristan 2 Vibe – I thought I should include a plug that buzzes in my list and there’s none better than Tristan Taormino’s from Vixen Creations. This one is also made from silicone and includes a vibrating bullet for a little extra action! No one knows anal better than Taormino, this delightfully shaped anal sex toy in perfect proportions for comfort and pleasure.
4 Alumina Pace – Another Tantus toy, but this time made of 100% aeronautic grade aluminum! If you’re looking for something metal, but can’t quite afford the NJOY plug yet, this is one to consider. It’s lighter that steel and designed to play anatomically with your body’s pleasure zones.
5. Bum Rush – This Rascal toy is part of the new silicone line from Topco and definitely worth checking out. The base is extra flexible, which I think makes this one good for long term wear.
