Butt Plugs

The world of butt plugs has grown massively in recent years, becoming one of the most popular ways for adults of all genders to enjoy safe, comfortable and satisfying anal stimulation. At Naughtyhut, we take anal play seriously — not just as a product category, but as a skill, a journey and a form of pleasure that should feel empowering, comfortable and free from pressure.

Our Butt Plugs collection is designed for every stage of experience, from complete beginners who are curious about trying anal play for the first time, to confident and experienced users who want specific sensations such as fullness, weight, vibration or long-term wear. Every product in this collection is curated with attention to shape, material, safety and comfort, so that what you choose can become a genuinely enjoyable part of your sexual routine — whether solo or with a partner.

This collection sits within our wider Anal Toys range, which includes anal beads, prostate massagers, jeweled plugs, inflatable toys, anal vibrators and hygiene accessories. You can also explore our main homepage for even more sex toys shipped discreetly across New Zealand.

Understanding Butt Plugs: A Complete, Realistic Guide

Butt plugs are unique among anal sex toys because they are designed not just for insertion, but for comfortable wear. Unlike beads, which are designed to move in and out, or prostate toys, which are shaped for targeted stimulation, butt plugs provide a sense of fullness, pressure and presence that can enhance pleasure during foreplay, masturbation or intercourse.

Many people use butt plugs as a warm-up tool, helping the body relax before deeper penetration with a toy or partner. Others enjoy plugs as a form of ongoing stimulation during daily activities, or as a part of power-play dynamics. Some enjoy the feeling of weight; others prefer soft, beginner-friendly silicone. There is no single “right” way to use a plug — only the way that fits your comfort level, your curiosity and your body.

Why Butt Plugs Have Become So Popular

In Aotearoa and worldwide, butt plugs have shifted from something secretive into something openly discussed and widely enjoyed. The main reasons are simple: they’re accessible, versatile and designed for a wide variety of sensations. A good plug can be worn for minutes or hours, alone or during partnered play, and with a range of sexual positions. For many people — including those who never plan to progress to anal intercourse — a plug is a way to explore anal pleasure without pressure, without pain and with complete control.

The key to this collection is clarity: understanding what each shape, size and material is meant to do, and choosing a product that fits your comfort level right now. Pressure, fullness, targeted pressure and weight are all sensations you can enjoy in completely different ways depending on the style of plug you choose.

The Foundation of Anal Comfort: Lubrication and Relaxation

Unlike vaginal or oral play, the anus does not self-lubricate. This is why lubricant is essential for safe, comfortable butt plug use. Water-based lubricant is the best option for silicone toys, and thicker formulas often work best because they stay in place longer and reduce friction. Relaxation is equally important. Anal muscles respond directly to your breathing, your mood and the pace of insertion. Slow is always better — especially for beginners.

Many customers pair their plug with lubrication from our Lubricants collection, choosing thicker water-based formulas for longer sessions.

Butt Plug Safety: What Makes a Plug “Safe” for Anal Play

Not all toys are meant for anal use. A safe butt plug must have:

A flared base — to prevent the toy from slipping inside completely.
Smooth, body-safe materials such as silicone, stainless steel or glass.
A tapered tip for comfortable insertion.
A neck that allows the muscles to “hold” the plug without discomfort.

All plugs in the Naughtyhut collection follow these safety requirements. We avoid cheap, porous materials because they can harbour bacteria or degrade over time. Our goal is not just to sell toys, but to provide New Zealand adults with products they can use confidently and comfortably for as long as they choose.

Who Butt Plugs Are Designed For

Butt plugs are suitable for anyone — regardless of gender, orientation or experience. For some people, plugs provide direct pleasure. For others, they provide preparation or added sensation during other activities. You do not need a specific reason to use a plug. Curiosity alone is enough.

Many beginners start with small silicone plugs. Intermediate users often explore metal or weighted plugs. Advanced users might prefer long-wear plugs, larger girths, or textured designs. Whatever stage you are at, this collection is meant to support your comfort and pleasure — not push you into anything too quickly.

Different Types of Butt Plugs and What They’re Designed For

Butt plugs may look simple from the outside, but the variations in size, shape and material create completely different sensations. Understanding these differences will make it easier to choose a plug that fits your comfort level and pleasure goals. Below is a comprehensive guide to the major plug types you'll find within the Naughtyhut Butt Plugs collection.

1. Beginner Butt Plugs

Beginner plugs are the gentlest and most accessible starting point. They typically feature a slim, tapered tip, a small diameter, and a soft silicone body that glides comfortably with lubricant. These plugs are specifically designed to help users explore anal play without pressure, intimidation or discomfort.

Many first-time users prefer a height of 7–9 cm and a diameter under 2.5 cm. This size range provides a pleasant, noticeable sensation without overwhelming the muscles. Silicone is the ideal material here because it is smooth, flexible, body-safe and forgiving.

If you are completely new, starting with a beginner butt plug is not just smart — it sets the foundation for comfortable, positive anal exploration.

Perfect for:

People curious about anal play but unsure where to start.
Those preparing for anal beads or larger plugs in the future.
Couples exploring anal stimulation during foreplay.

Where to explore next:

You can browse our starter-friendly options through the main Butt Plugs collection or explore more sensation-based toys inside the Anal Toys category.

2. Metal Butt Plugs

Metal plugs are known for their weight, firmness and smoothness. Made from stainless steel or aluminum alloy, they offer a deep sense of fullness that silicone cannot replicate. The weight enhances the sensation of being “filled,” and the rigid structure provides clear, defined pressure.

Metal plugs are also ideal for temperature play — cool them slightly for a refreshing tingle or warm them gently for comfort. Always check the temperature on your wrist before use.

Who metal plugs suit:

Intermediate and advanced users.
People who enjoy stronger, more intense pressure.
Users seeking long-wear options with a solid feel.

Many of our metal plugs include decorative, jeweled bases which you can explore in the Jewelled Butt Plugs collection.

3. Silicone Butt Plugs

Silicone is the most popular material for anal toys due to its smoothness, flexibility and body-safety. It warms quickly to body temperature and is gentle enough for both first-timers and regular users.

Silicone plugs are available in a wide range of sizes, shapes and firmness levels. This versatility makes them ideal regardless of your experience level. Silicone is also non-porous, meaning it does not absorb oils or bacteria, which keeps cleaning simple and safe.

Why silicone is recommended for beginners:

Soft, flexible and comfortable for insertion and removal.
Safer for long-term wear than cheaper rubber materials.
Easier to grip during insertion due to its slightly matte texture.

If you prefer silicone with added vibration, explore our Anal Vibrators selection as well.

4. Long-Wear Butt Plugs

Long-wear plugs are designed to sit comfortably inside the body for extended periods of time — sometimes for hours. These plugs typically feature a slimmer neck, a balanced weight and a stable base that sits comfortably between the cheeks.

Wearing a plug for longer durations is something only intermediate or advanced users should attempt, as it requires understanding how your body responds to fullness and pressure. Comfort, proper lubrication and sizing are essential for long-wear enjoyment.

Best uses for long-wear plugs:

Slow warm-up before intercourse or penetration.
Sensory play during daily activities.
BDSM and power-exchange scenes.

New Zealand customers often choose stainless steel plugs for long wear due to their balanced weight and stability.

5. Tapered & Graduated Butt Plugs

Tapered plugs are shaped like a cone — narrow at the tip and wider at the base — allowing the body to gradually adapt as the plug moves deeper. This shape is ideal for beginners but is also appreciated by experienced users who enjoy slow, controlled expansion.

Graduated plugs, on the other hand, feature multiple “steps” or bulb-like shapes along their length. These provide a series of subtle stretch sensations similar to anal beads but with the wearability of a plug.

When to choose these:

You want a slow, comfortable stretch.
You prefer shape exploration instead of heavy weight.
You are preparing for larger sizes.

6. Anchor, Heart-Base & Decorative Plugs

The base of a butt plug is not just a safety feature — it affects comfort and style. Some bases are wide and sturdy, while others are slim and flexible.

Decorative plugs, especially jeweled ones, are popular for couples play, photography, and role-play scenarios. They allow users to feel both playful and confident.

You can browse all decorative styles in the Jewelled Butt Plugs sub-collection.

Understanding Size: Small, Medium and Large Butt Plugs

One of the most common questions we receive from customers across New Zealand is: “What size butt plug should I buy?” Choosing the right size is crucial for a comfortable and safe anal experience.

Small Butt Plugs (Beginner Size)

Small plugs are ideal for first-timers or those who simply prefer a subtle, gentle sensation. These typically range from 2 cm to 2.8 cm in diameter. The goal is not to test your limits but to build comfort and confidence.

What small plugs feel like:

A mild stretch, a hint of fullness, and very manageable pressure. They are easy to insert and remove, making them perfect for warm-ups.

Medium Butt Plugs (Intermediate Size)

Medium plugs usually range between 3 cm and 4 cm in diameter. This size provides a deeper, more noticeable fullness without being overwhelming.

Recommended for users who:

Have tried beginner-sized plugs and want more sensation.
Use anal beads or prostate toys comfortably.
Want a plug that stays securely in place during movement.

Large Butt Plugs (Advanced Size)

Large plugs typically start at 4 cm and can go well beyond 5 cm in diameter. These are intended for experienced users only, as they require patience, relaxation and familiarity with anal stretching.

Large plugs offer:

Intense fullness.
A stronger sense of pressure.
Deeper muscle engagement.

If you're considering a large plug, reviewing our Anal Training Kits may be helpful for gradual progression.

The Importance of Shape, Neck, and Base Design

A butt plug’s overall comfort depends not only on its size but also on its shape and base structure. A plug that fits you well will stay in place without slipping and feel stable even during movement.

The Neck

The neck is the narrow part between the main bulb and the base. A well-designed neck allows the muscles to naturally “lock” the plug in place without exerting constant pressure. Beginners often choose plugs with a slimmer neck for easier wear.

The Base

A flared base prevents the plug from slipping inside the rectum. The base should sit flat and comfortably between the cheeks. For long-term wear, a flatter, ergonomic base tends to be more comfortable.

The Main Bulb

This is the primary part responsible for sensation. Round bulbs feel smooth and full, while tapered bulbs focus pressure at specific points. Metal bulbs feel intense and heavy; silicone bulbs feel soft and warm.

How to Choose the Right Butt Plug for Your Body

Choosing the right butt plug is not about bravery or “pushing limits.” It’s about comfort, understanding your anatomy, and selecting a toy that feels good for the way your body naturally responds to pressure, weight and depth. Below is a human, realistic guide to making the best choice depending on your goals and your previous experience.

1. Consider Your Level of Experience

Experience is the single biggest factor when choosing a plug. Everyone starts somewhere, and the best plug for you is the one that allows you to enjoy anal play without discomfort or anxiety.

Beginners

Beginners should focus on:

Soft silicone
Small diameter (2–2.8 cm)
Tapered tips
Flexible necks

You are learning your body’s natural reactions. Small steps lead to better long-term experiences.

Intermediate Users

This group is already comfortable inserting and removing a small plug. Intermediate users can explore:

Medium plugs (3–4 cm diameter)
Metal plugs for stronger fullness
Graduated or textured shapes

These users typically enjoy longer wear and may begin to experiment with different shapes.

Advanced Users

Advanced users know exactly what their body responds to. They may prefer:

Large plugs (>4 cm)
Heavy stainless steel plugs
Long-term wear plugs
Advanced textures or shapes

At this level, precision and personal preference are more important than general rules.

2. Think About the Sensation You Want

Butt plugs can create radically different sensations depending on shape, weight and material. Your ideal sensation might fall into one or more of these categories:

Fullness

Choose a plug with a larger bulb or a metal design for deep, solid pressure.

Gentle Stretch

Silicone plugs with smooth tapers work best.

Rhythmic or Pulsing Sensations

Graduated plugs or plugs with multiple bulbs offer this effect.

Constant Pressure

Metal plugs provide the clearest, strongest pressure due to their weight and rigidity.

Visual or Decorative Appeal

Jewelled plugs (see our Jewelled Butt Plugs ) add an aesthetic element that many couples enjoy.

3. How Long You Want to Wear the Plug

Wear time affects what shape and base style you should choose.

Short Sessions (5–20 minutes)

Beginners do best with simple silicone plugs. No need for heavy metal or complex shapes.

Medium Sessions (20–60 minutes)

Intermediate users can explore firmer silicone or small metal plugs with comfortable bases.

Long-Term Wear (1–4 hours)

Only recommended for users who already understand their body’s limits. Look for:

A slim neck
A stable, ergonomic base
A moderate size (avoid extremes)

Many long-wear users prefer weighted metal plugs because they stay stable and feel satisfying during movement.

Using Butt Plugs Safely: A Practical NZ-Friendly Guide

Anal safety is extremely important. Butt plugs can be used safely by adults of all genders — but only when the basic principles below are followed consistently. These guidelines come from real-world experience, customer feedback and established sex-education sources.

1. Slow Down — Always

Rushing anal play is the #1 cause of discomfort. Anal muscles respond directly to stress and breathing. Slow, patient insertion makes everything safer and far more pleasurable.

2. Use Plenty of Lubricant

This cannot be overstated: anal play requires lube, every time.

The anus does not self-lubricate, so dryness will create unnecessary friction. Water-based lube is the safest option for silicone toys.

Explore thick, long-lasting formulas in our Lubricants section.

3. Choose the Right Size

The right size is the one your body can handle comfortably right now — not the one you hope to handle later. Anal progress happens gradually. Choosing too large too early can lead to soreness or frustration.

4. Never Insert Anything Without a Base

Toys without a flared base can slip inside fully, which can require medical attention. Every plug at Naughtyhut has a safe, secure base designed specifically for anal anatomy.

5. Listen to Your Body

Anal play should be pleasurable. If you experience:

Sharp pain
Sudden discomfort
Numbness
Loss of sensation

— stop, remove the toy gently and add more lubricant or try a smaller size next time.

How to Insert a Butt Plug Comfortably

The process of inserting a butt plug should feel smooth, calm and controlled. Here is a realistic, step-by-step guide designed for New Zealand adults of all experience levels.

Step 1: Warm Up

You can warm up externally using fingers, a small plug or gentle massage. Rushing this step can cause resistance from the muscles.

Step 2: Apply Lubricant

Coat the plug generously and reapply lubricant during insertion if needed. For beginners, a thicker, cushion-like lubricant works best.

Step 3: Breathe & Insert Slowly

Use slow, steady pressure and breathe deeply. Your body will naturally ease open — forcing it will not help.

Step 4: Stop If It Stings or Burns

These sensations indicate dryness or tension. Add more lube or pause.

Step 5: Allow Your Body to “Settle” Around the Neck

Once the bulb is inside, your muscles will gently “hug” the neck of the plug. This is when plugs feel stable and comfortable.

Butt Plugs and Prostate Stimulation

Many people assume that prostate stimulation requires a dedicated prostate massager, but a well-designed butt plug can also apply internal pressure that reaches the prostate indirectly.

This means:

Some men experience stronger orgasms with a plug inserted.
Even a small plug can increase pelvic tension in a pleasurable way.
Curved or angled plugs can create consistent pressure on the prostate.

For more targeted stimulation, users can explore our Prostate Massagers collection as well.

Butt Plugs in Partner Play

Contrary to common assumptions, butt plugs are not just for solo use. Couples of all genders use plugs to enhance foreplay, deepen penetration or increase sensitivity.

How Couples Use Butt Plugs

During oral sex — the internal pressure can intensify external sensations.
During intercourse — for both vaginal or anal sex.
During BDSM or role-play — plugs add a layer of sensation and control.
As part of a warm-up routine — making penetration smoother and more comfortable.

Some partners enjoy choosing plugs together or experimenting with jewelled styles for visual appeal.

Communication is Key

Discuss boundaries, comfort levels and safe words if needed. Anal play is more enjoyable when both partners feel informed and respected.

Cleaning, Hygiene and Long-Term Care for Butt Plugs

Proper cleaning ensures your toy lasts longer, stays safe, and feels comfortable every time you use it. Regardless of your experience level, hygiene is non-negotiable when it comes to anal play. Fortunately, cleaning butt plugs is simple, especially when they are made from body-safe silicone, stainless steel or glass — the same materials we prioritise at Naughtyhut.

Cleaning After Every Use

Immediately after you finish, rinse the toy under warm water. Apply a mild, unscented soap or an approved toy cleaner and gently scrub the surface, paying attention to the base and around any ridges or decorative details.

Silicone Plugs

Wash thoroughly using warm water and soap. Silicone is non-porous, so it won’t hold odours if cared for correctly.

Metal Plugs

Stainless steel plugs are the easiest to clean. Warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth are enough to bring them back to a polished finish.

Glass Plugs

Clean with warm water and soap. Always check for chips before use. High-quality borosilicate glass is sturdy, but still treat it gently.

Deeper Sterilisation (When Needed)

Metal and pure glass toys can be boiled carefully for sanitation. Silicone can be sanitised with toy cleaner or a 10% diluted bleach solution (rinse extremely well afterwards). Always follow the instructions on the product page.

Storage Tips

Store your plug somewhere clean and dry, ideally in its own pouch or container. Keep silicone toys separated from other silicone toys to prevent material reactions.

Butt Plugs for Training, Stretching and Size Progression

Many adults use plugs as part of a deliberate training process — gradually increasing size to improve comfort during intercourse or to explore larger toys. Training safely means progressing slowly and letting your body adapt over time.

How Training Works

Start with a small plug and use it consistently for a few sessions before increasing the size. Move up only when the previous size feels completely comfortable.

Why Gradual Progression Matters

Prevents overstretching
Creates more pleasurable long-term experiences
Gives muscles time to adjust safely

Explore structured size progression options in our Anal Training Kits.

Advanced Butt Plug Play for Experienced Users

Once you’re comfortable with beginner and intermediate sizes, you may want to experiment with new sensations or more complex plug designs. Advanced users often enjoy:

Larger girths
Heavier metals
Textured bulbs
Long-wear designs
Vibration combined with fullness
Prostate stimulation via angled plugs

Weighted Plugs

Weighted plugs provide a satisfying “pull” or sense of gravity inside the body. They shift as you move, creating organic sensations that change naturally with walking, bending or thrusting.

Vibrating Plugs

These plugs combine fullness with vibration patterns for dynamic stimulation. They’re often used during solo play or remote-control play between partners.

Explore vibrating options in our Anal Vibrators collection.

Textured or Ribbed Plugs

Designed to stimulate the anal entrance with added friction. These are best suited to users who are already comfortable with insertion and removal.

Extra-Large Plugs

These are for very experienced users only. Extra-large sizes require warm-up and abundant lubrication. For safe progression, consider starting with an Anal Training Kit.

Comparing Butt Plugs to Other Anal Toys

Understanding the difference between plugs and other anal toys helps users choose the right product for their goals. Here’s how butt plugs compare to popular items in our Anal Toys category.

Butt Plugs vs. Anal Beads

Anal beads (see Anal Beads) are meant for movement — insertion and removal — while butt plugs are designed to stay in place. Beads offer rhythmic sensations; plugs offer fullness and pressure.

Butt Plugs vs. Prostate Massagers

Prostate massagers (see Prostate Massagers) target one specific organ — the prostate. Butt plugs may indirectly stimulate it but aren’t shaped for precise pressure.

Butt Plugs vs. Anal Vibrators

Anal vibrators (see Anal Vibrators) combine vibration with internal pressure. Plugs focus more on fullness and long-wear comfort.

Butt Plugs vs. Inflatable Anal Toys

Inflatable toys (see Inflatable Anal Toys) expand inside the body to create stretch sensations. Plugs maintain a fixed size.

Butt Plugs vs. Tail Plugs

Tail plugs (see Butt Plug Tails) are decorative versions used for visual play, cosplay or fantasy-driven scenes.
