The best butt plug for men is not the biggest and not the most expensive – it is the one that suits the prostate. That is exactly where it differs from plugs for women: men have an additional target a few centimetres past the entrance, and the shape decides whether a toy reaches it or misses it.
🎯 Prostate or fullness – two different targets
- A classic plug is symmetrical, sits still and creates a feeling of fullness. It stimulates the prostate only by chance – ideal for wearing during other activities.
- A prostate toy is curved forwards and reaches the prostate deliberately, about four to five centimetres past the entrance on the belly side. Anyone after the “other” kind of orgasm needs this shape – not more size.
The most common wrong purchase: a large straight plug on the assumption that more is more intense. The anatomy behind it is explained in the post on prostate massage.
📏 The right size
Smaller than you think. The sphincter decides, not willpower.
- First time: 2.5 cm diameter at most. The Anal Starter Set Beginner is built for exactly that – with an anal douche and lubricant included.
- Moving up: in small steps. The set with levels 1 and 2 takes the decision of when to step up off your hands.
- Advanced: only once the previous size sits effortlessly – then something like the advanced set.
Always with a wide base or retrieval ring. Nothing works without one – the bowel draws things in, and what goes in does not come back out by itself.
🧪 Material
- Silicone. Soft, non-porous, hygienically superior. The standard recommendation for starting out. Water-based lubricant only.
- Metal. Hard, heavy, smooth – the weight is the real appeal, plus temperature play. Metal tolerates silicone lubricant, which lasts far longer. That is exactly why the metal plug value set comes with silicone gel.
- TPE and TPR. Cheap and soft, but porous – clean thoroughly, dry open, do not share.
Which gel suits what is in the anal lubricant guide.
📋 Preparation and sequence
- Take your time. The most common cause of pain is haste.
- Cleaning if you want it. An anal douche is not a must but takes the tension out for many – see anal douche.
- Warm up. Externally first, then with a finger. Not straight in with the plug.
- Plenty of lubricant – inside and out. The bowel produces none of its own.
- Insert slowly, then hold. Breathe out as you insert; the sphincter relaxes with the breath.
- Point prostate toys forwards – towards the belly. The wrong way round, nothing happens.
- Stop at pain. A feeling of pressure is normal, pain is not.
⚠️ Safety
- Never without a wide base. The one rule with no exception.
- Not for hours on end – 20 to 30 minutes to start with.
- No numbing gel. Pain is the only warning you have.
- Anal to vaginal only after cleaning or with a new condom.
- With haemorrhoids or injuries, pause.
- Clean after every use – see the care guide.

❓ Frequently asked questions
Does this make me gay?
No. The prostate has no sexual orientation. It sits in the same place in every man and responds similarly in every man.
Plug or prostate toy?
A plug creates fullness, a curved prostate toy reaches deliberately. If you are after the more intense experience, you need the curve, not more girth.
How do I find the prostate?
Four to five centimetres past the entrance, towards the abdominal wall – a chestnut-sized, firmer spot. Not finding it immediately is normal.
How long can a plug stay in?
20 to 30 minutes to start with. Longer is possible later, but not for hours and never while asleep.
Do I need an anal douche?
Not a must. Many use one for peace of mind. Time and lubricant matter more than rinsing – details under anal douche.
Is ordinary lubricant enough?
No, use an anal one. It is thicker and lasts longer – the bowel produces no moisture of its own.
✅ Conclusion
Start small, wide base, plenty of lubricant – those three decide how the first attempt goes. If you want fullness, take a classic plug; if you want to reach the prostate, you need the curved shape. Everything else is a matter of patience. The selection is under anal plugs and anal sex toys.
