The 17 Best Butt Plugs for Men 2022

By Emily Lemon

Good sex isn’t all about thrusting, and that’s just as true for anal play as it is for P-in-V penetration. In the wonderful world of booty toys, you’ll find dildos, anal beads, and other products geared toward in-and-out movement, but don’t underestimate the pleasure of a toy that goes in your butt and stays put. We’re talking about butt plugs.

What are butt plugs, and why do they feel good?

Butt plugs come in a range of sizes, and some have special functions like vibrating or heating up, but the defining trait of a butt plug is that you pop it in your rear end and leave it there for a feel-good “full” sensation. “There are tons of nerve endings in the anal canal,” Alicia Sinclair, certified sex educator and founder and CEO of b-Vibe, says in Men’s Health Best. Sex. Ever. “At the entry of the bum, there’s also the anal sphincter, which has 4,000 nerve endings, which is the same number of nerve endings as the head of the penis and about half as many as the clitoris.”

In addition to stimulating those nerve endings, butt plugs can also help cisgender guys access the prostate, a walnut-shaped gland capable of producing next-level, full-body orgasms. Also known as the “P-spot,” the prostate is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum; you can stimulate it externally through the perineum, or internally through your booty.

Another reason to love butt plugs: They’re great for anal play beginners to prep their booty for bigger things, such as being on the receiving end of anal sex. If you’ve never been penetrated by a penis or dildo before, a smaller butt plug can help you get used to the new sensations of stretching and fullness back there. (The process of prepping your rear end for butt play is known as “anal training,” FYI. You can buy anal training kits designed to help you increase your capacity.)

But remember, using a butt plug can feel good regardless of your identity. Don’t let false ideas about masculinity and butt stuff inhibit your sexual pleasure! “Guys have to remember this: The sensations and experiences that feel good have nothing to do with your sexual orientation or gender,” Sinclair says. “There’s nothing inherently feminine about receiving anal stimulation and penetration. You get to decide what anal play means to you and how you feel about it. And when you can let go of the idea that a sexual act has to be done by a specific gender, you’ll discover some amazing opportunities.”

How do I use a butt plug?

Because these toys are designed to stay in one place, they’re also among the easiest sex toys you can play with. You can use a butt plug in so many different sexual scenarios, from masturbation to popping one in during partner sex. Hell, you could even wear one out to dinner for a kinky twist on your classic date night. (If it’s a vibrating butt plug, try handing the remote control to your partner ????.)

The first thing to know? Take things slow. Inserting objects into your butt takes practice. Start with one of the smaller plugs on this list, and work your way up from there.

Whether you’re inserting the plug solo or having a partner do it for you, start by applying a healthy dose of lube to your anus. The lube mandate goes for any kind of sex, but especially butt stuff, since the anus doesn’t self-lubricate. Check out our favorite lubes for anal sex if need to re-stock.

Warm up your booty with a lubed-up finger first. When you’re used to that sensation, apply more lube—always more lube!—to the head of the butt plug. Your or a partner can gently ease it into your rear end. Pause or take it out if it feels uncomfortable, or keep going until the plug is all the way in, held firmly in place by the flared base. (Never put a toy up your butt if it doesn’t have a flared base; otherwise, it could get lost up there.)

    Best Beginner Butt Plug

    Snug Plug 1

    We can’t say enough good things about b-Vibe’s Snug Plugs. The material is silky smooth, and each plug contains a weighted ball that you can vaguely feel moving around as you move your body—a fun, sexy twist on the feeling of fullness a butt plug already brings to the table.

    At 3.4 inches long and 0.88 inches wide, this is b-Vibe’s smallest Snug Plug, meaning it’s great for beginners.

    Best Intermediate Butt Plug

    Snug Plug 3

    The term “boyfriend dick” refers to a penis that isn’t too big or too small—just a standard peen you’d be happy coming home to every day. Well, the Snug Plug 3 is the boyfriend dick of butt plugs. If you’re used to putting things in your booty, this 4.7-inch plug will feel like no big deal to get in, but you’ll still know it’s there—especially thanks to those weighted balls inside the head.

    Best Vibrating Butt Plug

    Vibrating Snug Plug

    It’s the boyfriend dick of butt plugs, this time with vibrations. (It can vibrate at four speeds and in six different patterns.) Wear this during penetrative sex, and your brain just might explode—in a good, sexy way—from all the delicious sensations.

    Best Expert Butt Plug

    Snug Plug 6 XL

    If you’re into the Snug Plug and up for a challenge—like, a serious challenge—this XL option is 6.5 inches long and weighs a little over a pound.

    Best Intermediate Stainless Steel Butt Plug

    Pure Plug

    Speaking of weighty butt plugs, we’re big fans of njoy’s high-quality stainless steel sex toys—like this one. The frictionless metal makes for relatively easy insertion. (Still, we beg of you: Use lube!)

    Best Expert Stainless Steel Butt Plug

    Pure Plug Large

    For folks with slightly more anal experience, this stainless steel plug gets up to 4.7 inches in circumference around the head.

    Best App-Controlled Butt Plug

    Ditto App and Remote Controlled Vibrating Butt Plug

    If you like the idea of a partner controlling the vibrations in your booty, then we highly recommend this vibrating butt plug from We-Vibe. (Of course, you can use it during masturbation, too!)  

    Best Rimming Butt Plug

    Vibrating Rimming Butt Plug

    B-Vibe has a line of butt plugs that simulate the sensation of anilingus. It has rotating beads at the base of the toy, which you can turn on once the head of the toy is inside you. It is an absolutely stupendous feeling to have something inside you while also having stimulation to your external anus.

    Best Budget-Friendly Vibrating Butt Plug

    Butt Tingler

    Okay, so we’re obsessed with the name “Butt Tingler,” but we promise that’s not the only thing we love about this silky-smooth toy from Lovehoney. Vibrating butt plugs tend to be more expensive than their non-vibrating counterparts, but this one comes at a relatively low price point—great for guys who aren’t sure if they want their butt to tingle, but are curious enough to give it a try. “Perfect size as it’s not too big and not too small,” a five-star reviewer wrote on Lovehoney. “And the vibration is an added extra, creating wild, intense orgasms.”

    Best Uniquely-Shaped Butt Plug

    Spiral Butt Plug, 4 Inch

    Switch up your internal sensations with the spiral texture on this affordable plug. (Does this butt plug look like a soft-service ice cream cone, or is that just us?) 

    Best Inflatable Butt Plug

    Inflatable Butt Plug

    An inflatable butt plug truly is a strange idea, but like many bizarre things, it led to something phenomenal. With it, you can expand the plug while it’s inside of you, and it’s unlike any other sensation you’ve ever experienced. Most butt plugs focus on depth, when clearly this one focuses more on width and hitting your inner walls. In case 4-inches is child’s play to you, not to worry. On their website, Lovehoney has various sizes, which range from 2 to a whopping 8 inches. 

    Best Butt Plug With a Cock Ring

    Snug & Tug

    This is a two-for-one deal right here. The snug plug from b-Vibe is actually weighted, which gives you the sensation of feeling really “full.” In this iteration of the snug plug, it’s connected to a cock ring, which can help strengthen your erection.

    Best Glass Butt Plug

    Rain Glass Butt Plug

    We’re including a glass butt plug on the list because there’s something cool you can do with glass plugs that you can’t with regular plugs: freeze ’em. It’s exhilarating to have an ice-cold plug inside your behind. It wakes you the hell up, we’ll tell you that much! (Don’t worry. Glass plugs are developed using a specific type of glass, so they’re shatter-proof!)

    Most Aesthetically Pleasing Butt Plug

    Super Soft Silicone Galaxy Butt Plug

    For when you want a butt plug that’s also a work of art. Seriously: We’re not opposed to you incorporating this baby into your home decor. “Looks really nice and fills me up nicely,” a five-star reviewer wrote on Lovehoney. “It’s really comfortable to wear, and the knobbly bit is in the right place for me. I haven’t tried the suction cup end yet, but I managed to get it stuck to the sink when I was cleaning it, so it seems to work well.” (FYI, there’s no rule saying you can’t have in-and-out fun with a butt plug; try suctioning this one to a flat surface and going for a ride.)
