Are you looking to explore a more exciting side of anal play? This article covers everything you need to know about inflating butt plugs, including their types, how to choose the best one for you, and of course, how to use an inflatable butt plug.
What are inflatable butt plugs?
Inflatable butt plugs are unique anal sex toys that can be inserted into the rectum and adjusted to their desired size via inflation or deflation. These inflatable toys are perfect for those who want to experiment with different sizes to find their ideal fit. If you’re looking to enhance your anal experiences, an inflatable butt plug might be just what you need. They are also great for stretching and expanding the anus, allowing for better stimulation and accommodating various toy sizes.
Inflatable butt plug instructions
One of the most frequently asked questions folks have is, “Are inflatable butt plugs safe?”. The simple answer is yes, but, like any other anal sex toy, it’s important to keep a few considerations in mind:
1. Size Check
The great thing about inflatable toys is that you can inflate them to the size that’s right for you. They come in a variety of sizes to satisfy your particular preference. If you’re new to the pleasure of anal play and toys, we always advise starting with fingers or a small beginner butt plug — it’s less intimidating, easy to insert, and makes for a pleasure-filled play session.
2. Lubricate, Lubricate, Lubricate
Using a good squeeze of anal lube is essential for a smooth insertion of your anal inflater toy. Lather it with lube from its tip right down to the base of its body — basically, all areas that are ready to be safely inserted, and add a little lube to your anus as well for extra slickness.
3. Insert (gently)
Now that you’re lubed up and ready to play, it’s time to insert the deflated plug into your butt. Try to do this in a chilled-out setting so that your muscles are nice and relaxed, and adjust your body to discover positions that help stimulate your sensitive internal spots.
4. Ready, steady, inflate!
Once the butt plug has been inserted and you’re feeling ready and comfortable for more filling sensations and gentle pressure on those sensitive spots, reach for the pump. Inflate it slowly to your desired size, checking in on how it feels along the way until you reach the desired sensations. Inflating the toy slowly will avoid overinflation and causing any damage or pain.
5. Play around
Experiment with varying levels of inflation to discover what feels good. All inflatable toys will have a quick-release button for instant deflation, so if you pump the butt plug up too much, this is always an option.
6. Duration of wear
Once your inflated butt plug is inserted comfortably, you can wear it for extended periods of time. Just make sure you use plenty of anal lube, take it slow, and pay attention to your body and how it feels.
7. Deflation and removal
When it comes to removing your butt plug, do so gradually to ensure it’s a painless process. Any sudden deflation can cause injury. Once fully deflated, gently pull it out of your anus.
8. Clean up
Clean your butt plug with a sex toy cleaner or warm water and mild soap, and allow it to dry fully before storing it away until your next play session.
How do inflatable butt plugs feel?
Butt plugs are primarily used for anal stimulation, adding a tantalizing new dimension to sexual pleasure, whether you’re playing solo or with a partner. They also serve as a method for stretching the anus and warming it up for more extensive anal play or larger toys.
For prostate owners, the allure of a butt plug often lies in its ability to stimulate the prostate. The prostate is an incredibly sensitive gland that can enhance orgasms. Many prostate owners report experiencing more intense orgasms when their prostate is stimulated, or “milked.”
PROSTATE ORGASM TRAINING: Learn how to get started!
For vulva owners, butt plugs increase pressure on the back vaginal wall, intensifying sensations during penetration. They can also be used during oral sex, as the contractions around the butt plug during orgasm can heighten the climax and stimulate the nerve endings around the anus.
Inflatable butt plugs can be fantastic toys for anal newbies as you can start small and take it nice and slowly. Once in place, the butt plug can be inflated to a level that is comfortable for the person. How will this feel? Imagine a gentle and pleasurable internal pressure that builds as the anal wall is stimulated, graduating to orgasmic levels.
Inflatable plugs are also suitable for more advanced levels of play, offering more experienced fans of anal toys the opportunity to go big in size and sensation.
Top five tips for heightened sensations
1. Relax — Spend time relaxing the anal muscles before insertion. This can include taking a warm bath or shower first.
2. Warm-up — Use fingers to gently stimulate the area before moving to the inflatable plug. You may also practice solo anal fingering to lubricate the internal muscles for easier insertion of the plug.
3. Double up — Invite your favorite vibrator or dildo to play for additional stimulation. Stimulating different erogenous zones simultaneously can lead to an incredible powerhouse of sensations.
4. Mindfulness — The benefits of mindfulness can be applied to solo play, foreplay, and sex. Practicing deep breathing and mindfulness can help you focus on the sensations and help lead to more intense orgasms.
5. Erotica or porn — Many people find erotica or porn enhances mental arousal to get fully in the mood and before playing with sex toys, particularly if it’s your first time and you’re a little nervous.
