How to Care For and Clean a Silicone Anal Plug
Anal plugs are often the first toys a newcomer purchases from anal play. It's a toy, but it can also create confusion on how to clean and care for it.
It is crucial to not share anal plugs without washing them. This will prevent the spread of infection and STIs.
Size
Anal plugs are available in different sizes. The size or diameter of the plug is the determining factor for the size. To ensure security and comfort, it's important to choose a device that fits your anus perfectly. Some people find a wider plug more stimulating and exciting, while others prefer a smaller toy that offers a tighter feel.
Another aspect is whether the toy is weighted. This extra stimulation can add an additional kinky component to anal play, and can result in an intense orgasm. If you are new to anal pils, try starting out with a smaller size before gradually increasing the size until you find the ideal size.
Anal plugs are a great method to test new areas of erogenous pleasure and enhance your sexual experience. Some prefer it in the private space of their home to enjoy anal stimulation without hands, while others make use of it as a transition tool before attempting anal sex. It is also a fun sexual toy for straight guys who are interested in anal stimulation.
If you're just getting started with anal plugs, consider this beginner-to-intermediate plug from Fun Factory. TOPS Adult Toys has a curvaceous base and a wide T bar base that makes it more comfortable to hold and move. It also comes with a lubrication device to ensure that you're completely lubricated prior playing.
Material
Safety of the materials is paramount when it comes to adult insertable toys. However, it's more crucial with anal plugs. The plug will be constantly in contact with your rectal lining as well as your sphincter. The material must be hypoallergenic and disinfectable to lower the chance of infection. Materials like silicone, neoprene, glass, metals, wood or other natural or synthetic textures that don't irritate the skin are ideal.
SquarePeg Toys' anal plug is one of the most popular options on the market. The slim, curved shape of the silicone is great for beginners and works well for both playing with a partner or on your own. It can be played on the G-spot and the ring. It comes with multiple vibrating speeds as well as a rotatable anal masseuse which mimics rimming.
Another option that is great is this slender anal plug from Hankey's Toys and is suitable for first-time users. It comes with three different vibration speeds as well as an attachment to the sphincter that rotates, which stimulates nerve-endings.
Analizing your kink collection can allow you to explore new pleasure zones. But to get the most out of your anal plug, be fully energized before you try it. Anal plugs can provide pressure that crosses the anus and vaginal walls and can cause gasps that you've never had before. They can also reach the erogenous zones that you didn't know you had, says Honickman.
Design
Anal plugs are available in various shapes and sizes. Some have a tapered tip for easier insertion, while others have a flared base to keep the plug in place and stop accidental slipping. Some have tails that are removable that let you change the plaything's appearance.
A tapered plug is a great choice for beginners. The shape helps you ease into the hole and allows you to play without hands. It's also compatible with water-based fluids, making it safe to enjoy anal pleasure. The flared base also protects the anal canal from pressure outside and provides an additional layer of security.
Many anal plugs are constructed out of silicone. It is a bio-friendly material that is safe to use with anal lubricants. Avoid dildos made from PVC, jelly, or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) as they could release unknown plasticizers into your body. They are also known to cause black mold when kept damp.
Consider purchasing a vibrating plug for an even more stimulating experience. Sex educator Lola Jean, who runs an online pegging and butt stuffing course, says this toy is ideal for beginners as it lets you explore the sensation without piercing. She says that the vibration action simulates the sensation rimming and can help relax your abdominal area prior to entry.
Comfort
Make sure you use a top-quality lubricant while playing with a silicone plug. This will allow you to insert the toy and play comfortably. It will also ensure that the toy stays smooth and slick even after prolonged butt actions. Water-based lubricant is the best option as it's barrier-free and safe for toys. However, silicone lubricant can also be used. Use a silicone-based lubricant in conjunction with the metal anal syringe as it may cause corrosion and leave bits of the toy in the toy.
Plugs can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes, and many are equipped with additional features and textures that can take anal play to the next level. They can have ridges, bumps or hollow centers that permit exploration and thrills. There are even options that buzz and vibrate to provide additional stimulation.
