How to choose an anal plug

Whether you're experienced with anal play or completely new to it, there are a few essential rules to know when choosing a plug. To avoid mishaps and have a great time, here are a few tips and questions to consider before finding the lord of the rings! 🍑

Safety thou shalt prioritise

To stop your bottom swallowing your toy — because not every design is entirely safe — choose a plug with a sturdy, rigid base that's wider than the toy's bulb.

Watch out for over-the-top designs, too. We all need a little sparkle in our lives, but in bed, make sure any decorations on your toy are securely attached and won't go wandering off inside you. Seriously!

The right questions thou shalt ask

Before entering your card details on passagedudesir.com, ask yourself why you're buying one. Are you looking to add new sensations to sex? Do you want to use a plug for BDSM play? Prepare for anal penetration? Or wear your plug like a piece of jewellery to surprise your partner?

Any reason is a good reason to splash out on the plug of your dreams, but answering these questions will help you work out which one you really need.

To thy needs thou shalt listen

As you've probably gathered, not every plug suits everyone. Your anatomy is an important factor to consider. Choose a plug size that suits your level of experience with anal play, as well as a suitable material. If you'd prefer a firmer toy, go for stainless steel or borosilicate glass. For something softer, you could try a shape-memory material, for example!

Weight matters too. If you're a beginner, we'd recommend a fairly light plug. So avoid steel, which tends to be quite heavy and is better suited to more experienced users.

Thou shalt invite fun in

And finally, don't forget to have fun! There are all sorts of plugs: vibrating, app-connected, with a jewel on the end, or even a feather for the birdwatchers among us... when it comes to pleasure, anything goes!
