Tail butt plugs have a reputation largely associated with animal kinks. It is a sex toy produced for use by anyone who picks an interest. A butt plug can be used in every scene. Whether a masturbating party of one or partnered role-play fantasy.

Tail plugs of all kinds are meant to be inserted into the butthole. That should imply that a good design should prevent total entry. It could lead to a medical emergency. Here is a list of things to look out for when choosing the right tail plug.

A Flared Base

We don't want trips to the emergency room. That can be uncomfortable and expensive. A flared base in butt plugs prevents our buttholes from swallowing. The possibility exists of being inserted totally into our asses. The base should be wider in this regard.

Narrow Neck

This gives you the chance of a good fit. With a narrow neck, the tail plug is sure to be in place. Nothing is sliding out, and it won't be going in beyond a safe limit. Look out for narrow and long butt plug necks. Keep things safe and comfortable.

Material

People react to things differently. Find a material that pairs well with you. One that also pairs well with your line. No irritation, no discomfort. Metal, glass, silicone, or rubber. Find what works best for you, easiest.

Material Safety

Generally, sex toys with rough edges should be avoided. That is no different for butt plugs. The butt hole is a sensitive area; anything that could break or cause a tear should be avoided. It is not advisable to just stick anything that fits up in there. No unsafe DIYs, no fruits or vegetables should be going up our butthole. Glass, metal, rubber, and silicone. All of these are highly recommended.

Tail butt plugs consist of an insertable bulb-like part and the tail. The parts can be of different or the same materials. The tail is mostly made of materials resembling real animals' fur. At the same time, the plug can be silicone, glass, rubber, jelly, or metal. In addition, some tail butt plugs have jewelry-coated surfaces. To match their classy designs.

When buying a tail butt plug, ensure the two parts are made from body-safe materials. Ensure they are hypoallergenic and easy-to-clean materials. If you want customized tails, go for high-quality. Safe and easy-to-clean versions are the best choices.

Glass Tail Plugs

This can.be questionable because we all know that glass is breakable. There is a huge X on the use of breakable material. The exception exists for tail butt plugs made out of glass. The construction is often lightweight. They even tend to last longer than other types of materials. But, of course, it isn't as soft when inserted. Some people like it, and others don't.

Metal

Cool, hard, and shiny. This works well with sensation play. Metal butt plugs generally have cool surfaces.

Rubber

The feel-good material. Soft and smooth. The surface is incredibly good and suitable for sensitive areas.

Silicone

There is a common idea that silicone is a substitute for human skin. It is soft to the touch and easy to insert when paired with lube. Soft, Flexible, and Comfortable. There are a lot of reasons why silicone butt plugs are ranked high. They are some of the most popular types you'll find.

The type of material used plays a role in butt plug usage safety. Ensure to use non-porous materials. To prevent bacterial build-up. Choose materials that can be cleaned in addition to that.

Preparation Before Use

Using a butt plug requires some form of preparation. Inserting a but plug can be a bad idea in some cases.

Cleaning

A trip to the bathroom and a shower can save you minutes of uncertainty during anal play. You don't want to insert anything in there when you're feeling heavy or when you have to do a number 2. Have a clean bowel and get that out of the way. If you want to be squeaky clean right after, you should consider douching.

Shaving

Shaving is not a necessity. It is rather a matter of preference. Shaving the hair around the area days before will be a good idea. If you're especially hairy, it could get stuck with debris during the process.

Relaxation

The aspect of grooming is covered. Now, you might wonder what else is left. People use butt plugs for different reasons. One man might use it for roleplay, while another for fun in and around the house. Inserting a butt plug might require just lube for some. Others may be required to breathe in and out calmly. To be in the right mental space. A general method of relaxation that works is to warm your bum up with a warm towel. Have a gentle partner talk you through the process, especially if you're doing this for your first anal sex experience.

Lubrication

Beforehand, you should know what type of lube works for you and what doesn't. Water-based lubricant is usually recommended. Oil-based lubricant is a type that most people grow into using after much experience. Get a brand that works best for you and keep it around right before you need it.

Seeking Consent

There isn't any point in being with someone who doesn't consent to using a buttplug or being a handler in any regard. Clear verbal consent is key in any sexual engagement.

Positioning and Movement

Lube in hand, and you're relaxed. How do you put in your butt plug? Standing, squatting, or bending over. The answer to that is to position yourself however feels the most Comfortable. If you're not experienced, try inserting a finger or two inside first. Then proceed with your tail plug with the area well lubricated. You can do this in any position. As long as you're comfortable and your butt hole is exposed. So try doggy, on your back, and many more.

Duration of Use

Most people can conveniently wear a butt plug for 30 minutes. That is within the safe limit. Anything outside of that is pushing things a little higher. Naturally, you should be able to work your way up to using your tail plug for an hour or two. Beyond that is not advised. Work your way up the minutes. As you do, ensure you stop at any point you feel pain, also when you feel tender down there.

Post-Removal Care

No quick yanking out is allowed. Removing your tail butt plug should always be done carefully. You can choose to be in the same position you inserted it in. It is still very important to take your time at this point. Relax and slowly take it out when it's out after the ocean into the lingering feeling. We advise you to clean your tail butt plug right after. Don't let it sit out for too long after use. Now it's time to take a warm bath.

For the relaxing effect, you can take a warm salt bath to relieve your stressed butthole. Wear loose clothing the day after and rest adequately. As gay men, hygiene should be prioritized. Embrace your hygiene routines as a form of self-care.

Cleaning and Maintenance

A tail plug is clean according to the nature of the material. Generally, non-porous materials won't harbor bacteria after careful cleaning. Using soap and water is an effective way to clean your butt plugs.

An extra measure will be to use a sterile solution. This is possible if they are non-porous, commonly like glass, metal, and silicone. Other options can include boiling your butt plug. It has no mechanical component, of course.

Addressing Common Issues and Concerns

Like anything anal play, butt plugs can come with certain issues. But most of it can be addressed.

Managing Discomfort or Pain

When butt plugs become uncomfortable, some measures can be taken. Usually, we emphasize preventive measures. But if that still doesn't help, you stop at any point of pain.

If you are uncomfortable internally, the issue might be the size of your tail plugs. Perhaps it's a little bigger than what you can take in just yet. Or it is angled at an unfavorable position. Stop in the moment and try again later. If the pain doesn't persist immediately after, it might be safe to assume all is well.

Listen to your body. You know best when something doesn't feel right. Even when all seems good, identify the cause of your discomfort before proceeding with something new.

Preventing and Treating Injuries

The best practices to prevent injuries require you to:

  • Avoid using your tail plug for long periods and while you sleep
  • Never use numbing products. Pain is how your body communicates potential harm.
  • Avoid obscure shapes and tail plug sizes.
  • It’s best not to try this. Unless you’re an incredibly short sleeper, you spend far more time sleeping than it is safe to wear a butt plug. On top of that, you won’t be able to tell if something goes wrong if you’re asleep.

To treat injuries, it is best to seek the direction of your primary healthcare provider. To eliminate the possibility of complications.

Avoiding and Handling Infections

  • Avoid using saliva as a lube substitute
  • Avoid inserting tail plugs into dried-out butt holes
  • Take care to avoid microtears
  • Do not insert unclean butt plugs
  • Never share your butt plug

Infections can come into the picture when micro-tears occur or when germs are externally introduced to the environment. Hygiene and proper technique usually serve as infection prevention. When infection symptoms begin to show, then you should find your way to the nearest hospital.
