My first tip is only really possible by shopping in-store, but it’s a helpful one if you can swing it. Like other toys, butt plugs come in different materials. My favorite is glass, but there’s also silicone, plastic, and others. If you’ve never used anything in your butt before, you might not know what material feels the best for you. And really, you can’t know until you actually try - but you can feel the toy in your hand before you buy it at Excitement Adult Stores. Getting that initial feel might help you decide what you think will be best for you, and it gives you less surprises when you get home and open the box. Maybe the glass is much harder and heavier than you expected, and maybe the silicone is a little too soft. Give them a quick feel test to narrow down your options!

If you take one tip in this article to heart, please let it be this one! When you get offered the suggested accessory of adding lube to your purchase, please accept. Butts don’t lubricate themselves like vaginas do, and so putting anything in there will require lube. Spit or water just doesn’t suffice. The type of lube you choose will depend on the material your plug is made from. If you opt for a silicone butt plug, grab a thick water based lubricant. If you choose glass for your toy, a slick silicone lube won’t dry up so you won’t have to add more. Trust me, you’ll be glad you added this to your cart!
