Butt plugs are sex toys that are used to enhance sex or masturbation by providing a sense of stimulation and fullness in the rectum. They are a few inches long, tapered at the tip for easy insertion, widen in the middle or near the base, and then become narrow again. This flared shape holds them in place just inside the anal sphincter. Adding vibration increases the stimulation provided by a butt plug. Some vibrating butt plugs have other capabilities as well, such as inflating or ejaculating. Using a vibrating butt plug is preferable to inserting a dildo-like vibrator into your anus because there is no chance that the plug will slip in too far and get stuck inside your rectum.

If you're trying a vibrating butt plug and haven't used a butt plug before, give the plug a test run without using the vibration. This will give you a chance to get used to the sensation of having it in your rear. Remember that the anus and rectum are very rich in nerve endings, so every sensation in this region is greatly magnified.
