Ever paused to wonder about the appeal behind vibrating anal plugs? Let’s take a stroll down Pleasure Avenue and uncover the mystery together.

What Exactly Are Vibrating Anal Plugs?

First and foremost, a vibrating anal plug isn’t just your average toy; it’s an experience! In the vast world of adult toys, it stands out as a beacon of pleasure, combining both the sensations of fullness and delightful vibrations. But what makes it different? At its core, it’s an anal plug equipped with motors designed to send waves of pleasure throughout the body. Ever tried massaging a sore muscle with a vibration tool? Now, imagine those soothing vibrations targeting pleasure zones. Feeling intrigued?

Distinguishing Them from Regular Plugs

So, why not just opt for a regular plug? Good question! Picture this: you’re sipping on a plain latte. It’s good, but then you add a squirt of caramel, and suddenly, it’s a game-changer! The same logic applies here. A regular plug can indeed provide satisfaction, but add some vibration, and it’s a whole new world. We’re talking about a multi-dimensional experience. Why settle for a latte when you can have a caramel macchiato?

A Dive into the Science of Pleasure


Have you ever wondered about the science behind the buzz? Let’s put on our geek glasses for a moment. Vibrations stimulate the nerve endings at a faster rate than any manual movement can. This rapid stimulation can lead to a quicker and often more intense response from the body. It’s akin to the difference between walking and sprinting – both get you to the destination, but one does it with a little more zest and zeal.

Making the Right Choice: Factors to Consider

When it comes to personal pleasure, one size certainly doesn’t fit all. While the myriad of choices can be a boon, it also presents the dilemma of selecting the perfect fit for you. Fret not! We’re here to illuminate the path for you.

Size and Design: It’s Not Just About the Buzz

While the vibration factor is undeniably thrilling, it’s vital not to overlook the size and design of the plug. Here’s a brief

breakdown:

  • Beginner: Typically, these are smaller in size and less intimidating. They’re a great starting point if you’re venturing into this realm for the first time.
  • Intermediate: A tad larger and may come with more intricate designs. Perfect for those who’ve dabbled before and are looking for a little more.
  • Advanced: These can be quite sizable and are designed for those well-acquainted with anal play.

Remember: It’s always crucial to start slow and understand your body’s comfort level. It’s a journey, not a race!

Material Matters

The fabric of your plug can significantly influence your experience. Let’s delve into some popular choices:

  • Silicone: Highly popular due to its soft texture and flexibility. It’s also non-porous, making it hygienic and easy to clean.
  • Glass: Offers a smooth surface and can be used for temperature play. While durable, it requires careful handling.
  • Metal: Weighty and gives a distinct sensation. Like glass, it’s great for temperature play.

Pro Tip: Always ensure you use the right lube for your material choice. For instance, silicone-based lube can degrade silicone toys.

Vibration Settings and Battery Life

How do you like your thrill? Gentle hums or intense throbs? Most plugs come with various settings to cater to different moods and preferences. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Multiple Speeds: Allows you to toggle between soft to intense vibrations.
  • Pulse Patterns: Delivers vibrations in rhythmic patterns for a unique sensation.
  • Battery Life: While some plugs are rechargeable, others rely on traditional batteries. It’s essential to consider how long your toy will last during play.

Caring for Your Toy: Safety and Hygiene


Delving into the world of pleasure requires responsibility. Just as you’d care for a prized possession, your vibrating anal plug deserves attention too.

Cleaning is Crucial

After every escapade, ensure your toy is cleaned thoroughly. Most materials can be cleaned with mild soap and water. There are also specialized toy cleaners available that can provide a deep cleanse.

Safe Storage

Always store your toy in a clean, dry place. Many come with their pouches or storage boxes. Keeping them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures is a good practice. And, avoid storing silicone toys together as they can react and degrade over time.


Our intention is to arm you with the knowledge and confidence to embark on this exhilarating journey. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned aficionado, there’s always something new to discover in the universe of vibrating anal plugs. Ready for the next chapter?

Dive Deeper: Enhancing the Experience

The world of vibrating anal plugs isn’t just about the initial choice. It’s also about maximizing your experience with the right complementary products and understanding the nuances of safety and satisfaction.

Lubrication: Sliding into Comfort

While the sensation of the vibration tantalizes, the right lubrication ensures that the experience is smooth and comfortable. When it comes to anal play, lube isn’t just optional; it’s essential.

  • Water-Based: Compatible with most materials, it’s easy to clean but might require frequent reapplication.
  • Silicone-Based: Lasts longer than its water-based counterpart but avoid using it with silicone toys.
  • Hybrid: A mix of both water and silicone, offering the best of both worlds. Do a patch test before full application.

The key to blissful anal play isn’t just the toy but also the lubrication that complements it.

Safety First: The Do’s and Don’ts

There’s no pleasure without precaution. While diving deep into this titillating world, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Do start slow and listen to your body.
  • Don’t force a toy if it feels uncomfortable.
  • Do ensure you clean your toys after every use.
  • Don’t share your toys without proper sterilization.
  • Don’t use toys without flared bases.
  • Do use lots of lube
  • Do practice breathing and relaxation techniques

Expanding Horizons: Pairing Toys

Double the toys, double the pleasure? Sometimes, pairing a vibrating anal plug with another toy can elevate the entire experience.

  • Cock Rings: For individuals with penises, combining the two can offer dual stimulation.
  • Dildos: The rhythmic thrusts paired with the vibrations can be an exhilarating combination.
  • Remote Controlled Variants: Add a layer of excitement, especially for couple play. Hand over the reins and let your partner control the vibrations.

Lovense Hush 2 vibrating butt plug, anal training butt plugs

Hush 2 by Lovense

Lovense Hush 2 basically looked at the all positives and negatives from other toys (and its previous generation model) and made one of the best and most innovative plugs on the market. 

The size of the neck compared to the rest of the toy (as well as the flared base) makes sure things stay in place and don’t get lost up the bum. It’s also made from body-safe silicone.

My favorite part is that you can connect it to the app for long-distance or discreet public play, which is good news for long-distance or spicey couples. I also love the free pattern library filled with tens of thousands of options, the levels are programmable to your preference. It can also sync to music, sounds, erotic audiobooks, and certain X-rated games. If you want to know more, you can watch the video below.

Primo By Svacom vibrating anal plug

Primo By Svacom

Svakom usually makes solid toys, so you might want to check out their line. The cheapest ones run around $60  while the fancier model, the Primo, costs around $110.99. What makes Primo different? 

It heats up.

Yep, forget your car seats. One press of your handy remote will make the core heat to 100.4 F / 38.0 C. Couple that with environmentally friendly silicone, a decently wide base, strong motors, and a 10-year warranty, and you’re in business.

My only qualms with this plug are the neck base and remote control. While the base IS much smaller than the base and widest section of the insertable part, the consistent graduation kinda whispers, “slippage”, so I’m not sure how good this will stay in during extended use.

Users also say that there is a bit of a delay the farther the remote gets from the toy (e.g. If your partner wants to control it). Still, if you have some extra funds in your sex toy account, it’s worth looking at.

Picobong Tano anal plugs, black purple and pink butt plugs

Picobong Tano

This is a popular vibrating butt plug, but I think most of it is due to its association with LELO. Picobong is LELO’s sister company aimed to offer “budget-friendly” sex toys. Unfortunately, while LELO does make some decent-quality toys, PicoBong is missing the mark.

It’s about 1 inch in diameter, so its size is perfect for beginners. The plug Is waterproof and made of ABS plastic and silicone- both body-safe materials. While it’s not rechargeable (1 AAA battery), the vibrations are buzzy, but not terrible. Everything seems okay at first glance…

The main thing wrong with this butt plug is the button placement. You need to fully remove the toy if you want to change the vibration level/mode. Besides that, the base can be a little bit uncomfortable because the neck is hard plastic and doesn’t seamlessly connect to the top part – it can pinch your anus depending on how you insert and remove it!

Nexus Ace Vibrating Plug

Nexus Ace

This one comes in two sizes – 1.5 inches and 2.0 inches in diameter (at the widest point). I’ve only ever tried the “medium” size (1.5 inches), but the build quality and overall components are nearly identical.

It’s made of silicone and feels quite nice. It says it’s waterproof, but I don’t recommend submerging it in water. The base which houses the electronic components is held together by a small piece of silicone (glued to the bigger piece of silicone) and depending on how you’ve used it, the bottom part may start separating.

 I didn’t use this plug that often and took pretty good care of it, but the base of my plug was coming undone. It was also rusting a bit on the metal charging port.

Besides the waterproofing issue, the only other issue I have with it is the weak and buzzy vibrations. If you don’t mind the light vibrations, this is a decent butt plug. 

It stays in comfortably and is easy to insert (if you are able to handle 1.5 inches in diameter). The other cool thing about it is that it has a remote control. The remote part isn’t that great (no visual feedback, feels cheap, etc.) but it’s one of the few plugs that is wirelessly controlled.

je joue nuo vibrating butt plug with pen remote

Je Joue Nuo

I … hate … Je Joue. Why? I bought the Duo, a “wearable g-spot” toy with a remote, and it was an utter piece of crap – barely working remote, flawed design that wouldn’t stay in, and zero-refund policy nonsense from the store. 

All of this for the hefty price of around $125.

I know there will be some people in the mix that say, “But I’ve had no issues. I love this toy.” It will always be the case with most products, but I’ve had nothing but horrible experiences with them.

And, since the “Nuo” looks like the exact same thing but in plug form (including dodgy remote pen), I’m inclined to send everyone running for the hills … or towards it with blowtorches.

fifty shades of grey delicious-fullness vibrating butt plug

Fifty Shades – Delicious Fullness Plug

At 1.27 inches at the maximum diameter, it’s a great plug for beginners. No matter what your previous experience is, this should easily go in with very little warm-up. It has a flared base and is made of silicone so it’s body-safe. 

The price point is good if you’re looking to experiment with anal stimulation or just want to add to a collection.

The main downfall is that the plug may not stay in place very well. The neck of the plug is not tapered enough, so if you’re looking to have this in during penetration, it’s likely to fall out. If you want it for foreplay and don’t mind keeping a hand on it, this shouldn’t be an issue. 

It’s fairly quiet but buzzy, and the way it’s designed won’t allow you to sit down on it.

utimi remote controlled anal plug

Utimi Vibrating Anal Plug

It really frustrates me that this is one of the top-selling vibrating butt plugs on Amazon. Everything about this is wrong – but most importantly the material. It is not body-safe. 

Butts have bacteria and anal toys should be non-porous. This seller actually tricks people into thinking it’s body-safe by using silicon in the title, but then in the description, it says it’s TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). Really misleading! Basically, TPE can never be fully cleaned, is prone to molding in the right conditions, and can contain toxic chemicals that can irritate your body.

Extremely dangerous to use on a regular basis. It has good reviews on Amazon, but if you look at the reviews carefully, you can see they were paid to write it. Please, avoid this vibrating butt plug. Buy something that is higher quality- your body will thank you for it.

Basics butt plug by lovehoney

Basics Vibrating Plug

This really is just a blue version of the 50 Shades plug you can find at Lovehoney, but made with PVC which (if it’s soft) contains Phthalates (known to be highly toxic to the body).

The product details (and video) SAY it’s made from “body-safe materials” but it’s clearly stated the material is PVC and the video shows a toy that’s pretty bendy (which means there’s something fishy going on there).

I just wouldn’t chance it. This makes me a bit sad because the actual toy design is acceptable.

Secret Genius by Marc Dorcel, vibrating butt plug

Secret Genius by Marc Dorcel

This is an example of an average toy trying to play itself off as a high-end one.

The vibrations were buzzy more than rumbly and the strong ones that got into the “okay” zone were WAY too loud (especially for public play) this is a problem when you use this as the anal toy rather than the female bullet. The extra layer of silicone damped the sensations.

 It’s a clever idea, but not one I would buy for $65 bucks. If it went on a great sale, sure, I would recommend giving it a go.

Conclusion: Embrace the Adventure


Embarking on the journey of anal play with vibrating plugs is like diving into an ocean of sensations. With the right guidance, tools, and mindset, the depths of pleasure are limitless. Whether you’re charting these waters for the first time or are a seasoned sailor, there’s always a new wave to ride, a new thrill to chase. And remember, in this pursuit of pleasure, it’s the journey, not just the destination, that truly counts.
