You can buy a butt plug here from the largest and most diverse selection in the Netherlands. From small silicone butt plugs for beginners to metal butt plugs for advanced users, glass butt plugs for temperature play, and butt plugs with tails for roleplay. Every model in this collection features a wide safety base—a standard we check for in every product. Also check out the complete overview of all anal toys.

What is a butt plug?

A butt plug is an anal toy with a distinctive shape: a pointed or rounded tip that makes insertion easier, a wider middle section that provides a feeling of fullness, a narrow neck, and a wide base or flange that prevents the plug from going further in than intended. That base is no mere detail—it’s the safety feature that sets a butt plug apart from other anal toys. Butt plugs are available for men, women, and everyone in between. You can use them solo or with a partner, wear them passively, or move them actively.

Why are butt plugs so popular?

A butt plug provides a constant feeling of fullness without you having to do anything—once inserted, it stays in place. That makes it different from a dildo, which is actively moved. For men, a butt plug indirectly stimulates the prostate, the sensitive glandular tissue accessible through the back wall of the rectum. Prostate stimulation via a butt plug provides a deep, full sensation that many men find more intense than penis stimulation alone. For women, the pressure from a butt plug works through the thin wall between the anus and vagina, creating combined sensations during sex or masturbation.

Types of butt plugs

Classic butt plugs

Classic butt plugs have the standard shape: teardrop profile, narrow neck, wide base. They come in silicone, rubber, and plastic and serve as the starting point for anyone experimenting with anal stimulation for the first time. Small size, flexible material, and a distinct flange are the criteria to look for as a beginner.

Metal butt plugs

Metal butt plugs are made of stainless steel or aluminum. They are heavier than silicone models—that weight provides a fuller, more intense sensation during movement. Metal is completely non-porous, easy to sterilize, and suitable for temperature play: place the plug in warm water for a warming sensation, or in cold water for a cooling effect. A metal butt plug will last a lifetime.

Glass butt plugs

Glass butt plugs are made of borosilicate glass—the same material used in laboratory glassware. That may sound fragile, but it isn’t: this glass is shatter-resistant and completely body-safe. The smooth surface glides easily and reacts to temperature just like metal. Glass butt plugs are also visually striking—many models feature a decorative core or color gradient.

Butt plugs with tails

Butt plugs with tails combine a functional anal plug with a decorative tail made of synthetic hair, real hair, or silicone. Fox tails are the most popular, but you’ll also find pony, cat, and dog tails. They’re used in pet play and other forms of roleplay. The plug itself functions like a standard butt plug; the tail hangs outside the body as a visual element.

Crystal butt plugs

Crystal butt plugs feature a decorative stone or crystal at the base, visible when the plug is worn. They come in metal and glass, in various colors. Popular as a combination of functional toy and visual accent—both solo and with a partner.

Vibrating butt plugs

Vibrating butt plugs have a built-in motor that adds vibrations to anal stimulation. This significantly intensifies the sensation, especially with prostate contact. Many models have multiple vibration patterns and are controlled via a button or remote control. Some are app-controlled, allowing for use with a partner at a distance.

XXL butt plugs

XXL butt plugs are for experienced users seeking maximum fullness. They require a patient build-up, generous use of anal lube, and knowledge of one’s own body. Not the starting point—but the destination for those who have built up gradually.

What should you look for when buying a butt plug?

Material determines safety and sensation. Silicone, stainless steel, and borosilicate glass are body-safe: non-porous, do not harbor bacteria, and are easy to clean. TPE and PVC are softer and cheaper but porous—use them with a condom if hygiene is a priority. Size is the most common mistake when making a first purchase: always start smaller than you think you need. A diameter of 2.5 to 3 cm is more than enough for most beginners.

Always use anal lube—the anal canal doesn’t produce its own lubrication. Water-based lube works with all materials. Silicone-based lube doesn’t work with silicone toys. Clean a butt plug immediately after use with warm water and soap. Steel and glass models can be boiled. Read more in the article tips for choosing a butt plug.

Frequently asked questions about butt plugs

What is the best butt plug for beginners?

A small silicone butt plug with a diameter of up to 3 cm, a flexible tip, and a clear safety flange. Silicone is soft, flexible, and easy to clean. Always use it with water-based anal lubricant. You can find a comprehensive guide in best butt plug for beginners.

What is the difference between a metal and a glass butt plug?

Both are body-safe, non-porous, and suitable for temperature play. Metal is heavier—that weight feels more intense with movement. Glass is lighter and clear, making it visually more appealing. Metal is virtually indestructible; glass is shatter-resistant but requires a bit more care when storing. Feel is personal—both materials have a smooth surface that glides comfortably.

Can a butt plug get lost?

Not if you use a model with a wide safety base. That base is wider than the anal opening and physically keeps the plug in place. Never buy an anal toy without a clear flange or handle—that’s the one rule that always applies.

How do I clean a butt plug?

Clean immediately after use with warm water and mild soap. Metal and glass butt plugs without electronics can be boiled or placed in the dishwasher for complete sterilization. Clean silicone models with soap and water—boiling is also fine if there’s no motor inside. Let everything dry completely before storing.

How do I use a metal butt plug for temperature play?

Place the plug in warm (not boiling) water for 10 to 15 minutes for a warming effect. For cooling: place it in cold water or briefly in the refrigerator. Always test the temperature on your wrist first before using the plug. Start with small temperature differences and build up gradually.
