Anal plugs: What are they? What are they for?

The anal area is full of nerve endings, which makes it intensely pleasurable, which is why every day more people enter the world of anal pleasure and discover this intensely pleasurable area to play with. Anal sex is an increasingly less taboo practice, we have stopped associating it exclusively with relationships between homosexual men, and progressively more people are understanding that it is a game that everyone can enjoy. That's why we want to give you some tips so you can enter this new universe of pleasure.

To be able to enjoy this practice more, we recommend having an anal plug or chain on hand. Below, we tell you the reasons:

What are they for?

Anal plugs and anal chains have several functions:

  • The main one is to dilate the anus and prepare it for anal sex. Anal dilators are the perfect complement to get started.
  • To decorate and play role plays, adding a touch of fantasy to your backside.
  • To increase pleasure by leaving the toy inserted while other areas are stimulated.

How are they used?

The anus is not naturally lubricated, so always have a water-based lubricant (if using a silicone toy) or silicone lubricant (for all other materials) on hand. Here the word “too much” does not exist, lubricate, lubricate and don't stop lubricating.

Do not exceed 2 hours a day of using these supplements.

To give pleasure: leave them inserted while other areas are stimulated, such as the vagina or penis, and remove them when you are going to reach orgasm. The effect of dilation and contraction of the anus when removing it intensifies this sensation.

It is very important that the anal plug or chain has a stop and that you do not exceed it, to prevent the toy from staying inside and giving you a good scare.

When it comes to inserting the butt plug, there are various different positions you can choose. One option, of course, is for your partner to do it for you. To do this, kneel on all fours and lean forwards. This will allow your partner to insert the sex toy easily. But beware! It may not be the best idea to get your partner to insert the anal plug for you, especially if it is your first time using this kind of sex toy. Your partner cannot know whether it feels good when it is inserted or whether it feels a little uncomfortable. 

What material are they made of?

You can find anal plugs and chains made of different materials, choose the one that best suits you:

Silicone: it is the most basic and versatile material. Here you will not be able to use silicone-based lubricant because it damages the material; instead, it is advisable to use a water-based one.

Metal: this material allows you to heat or cool the plug to experience new sensations. In general they are more hygienic and easier to clean. Additionally, you can use the lubricant that you like the most.

Glass: it has the same properties as metal, the difference is that it is aesthetically more beautiful. Check that there are no imperfections, because there is a small risk of it breaking inside.

Differences between chains and plugs

Chains and anal plugs have the same function, but they are two different designs. The plugs have a fixed thickness, and you choose the one you want according to your needs. On the other hand, anal chains have different balls that usually increase in size progressively, allowing you to set the level you want. In both cases, the pleasure comes from the dilation and contraction of the anus, the difference is that with the plug it is done once and with the chains, the more balls they have, the more times the dilation/contraction process will be repeated.

Cleaning

This is a very important rule for any of your toys, but especially for those that come into contact with the anal area. Cleaning your sex toys is essential. Always clean them at the end of each use:

With warm water and neutral soap.

For total disinfection and better care of the toy you can use a special cleaner for sex toys.
