Anal Plugs

Types of Anal Plugs in Our Collection

Not all plugs are built the same. Here's a quick breakdown of what you'll find in our lineup:

• Silicone Anal Plugs – Soft, flexible, and body-safe by default. Silicone plugs are the go-to for beginners thanks to their give and comfort. The Blush Luxe Candy Rimmer Medium is a great example — smooth, firm enough to stay put, and easy to clean.
• Metal Anal Plugs – Stainless steel and aluminum plugs like the njoy Pure Plug Medium and Rear Assets Metal Anal Plug offer serious weight, a polished finish, and the ability to be used for temperature play. They're non-porous and last essentially forever with proper care.
• Gem & Jeweled Butt Plugs – The Booty Sparks Pink Gem Anal Plug and Rosy Gold Nouveau are popular for aesthetic reasons as much as functional ones. Crystal or acrylic gems sit at the base, making for a visually striking piece.
• Anal Training Sets – The b-Vibe 7-Piece Anal Training & Education Set is the gold standard here — a complete progression kit that takes you from the smallest insert to more advanced sizes with instructional materials included.
• Anal Beads & Dildo Hybrids – The Tantus Ripple Large blurs the line between anal beads and a traditional plug, offering a ridged, segmented design for graduated sensation.
• Vibrating Anal Plugs – Remote-controlled or manually operated, vibrating plugs add a layer of sensation that static plugs can't match. Great for solo play or partnered use.

Key Features to Look For

Material Safety

Body-safe is non-negotiable. Look for 100% silicone, borosilicate glass, stainless steel, or ABS plastic. Avoid anything labeled "jelly," "rubber," or "PVC" — these materials are porous, can harbor bacteria, and may contain harmful plasticizers. Every product in our collection is vetted for body safety.

Base Design

A flared base is a hard requirement for anal plugs. Unlike the vaginal canal, the rectum has no natural stopping point, so a wide, stable base — whether a T-bar, flared ring, or gem base — keeps the plug safely retrievable. Never use anything without one.

Size & Taper

Sizing is everything. A beginner should start with a small, gradually tapered plug — the Rear Assets Metal Anal Plug Small or Renegade Bull Small are good entry points. Moving up should be a gradual process. That's exactly what training sets like the b-Vibe kit are designed for.

Texture & Firmness

Smooth plugs are easier to insert and hold comfortably for extended wear. Textured or ridged designs like the Tantus Ripple deliver more sensation on insertion and removal. Metal and glass are firm with zero flex; silicone ranges from ultra-soft to near-rigid depending on formulation.

How to Choose the Right Anal Plug

Start with size — if you're new, go small. Then consider material: silicone is forgiving and warm to the touch; metal offers weight and temperature play; glass is visually striking and extremely smooth. Think about intended use — prolonged wear calls for a comfortable, smooth plug with a secure base, while sensation play benefits from texture or vibration. Finally, consider cleaning: non-porous materials (metal, glass, silicone without motor components) can be fully sterilized, which matters if you're sharing or immunocompromised.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size anal plug should a beginner start with?

Start small — look for plugs with a maximum diameter of 1 inch or less and a gentle taper. The Rear Assets Metal Plug Small or Renegade Bull Small are solid starting points. If you want a full progression path, the b-Vibe Training Set takes the guesswork out entirely.

What's the safest material for an anal plug?

100% silicone, stainless steel, and borosilicate glass are the top three. All are non-porous, easy to sterilize, and free from harmful chemicals. Avoid jelly or rubber materials entirely.

Can anal plugs be worn for extended periods?

Yes, but comfort and safety depend on design. Smooth, body-safe silicone or metal plugs with secure flared bases are best for extended wear. Always listen to your body, use plenty of lube, and take breaks.

What lube should I use with an anal plug?

With silicone plugs, use a water-based lubricant — silicone-based lube can degrade the material over time. Metal and glass plugs are compatible with any lubricant, including silicone-based formulas, which last longer and require less reapplication.

Do these ship discreetly?

Yes. All orders from Headshop.com ship in plain, unmarked packaging with no product descriptions on the outside of the box. Your privacy is respected at every step.
