BuzzFeed Staff

The smallest plug is just under 3 inches (2.99) and the largest is 4.37 inches long, making the range a great option for anyone who's new to anal or an expert.

Promising reviews: "Bought this as a present for my partner who’s trans NB. I chose the M size. I love the texture and the shape. Putting pressure on the base produced very good results" —Rose

"I feel completely secure in making the following statement: the Fun Factory Bootie is one of the best butt plugs out there." —Hey E.S.T.R.

Get it from Fun Factory for $34.99+ or Amazon for $35+ (available in black or purple and three sizes).

Truly a gem, this toy has a curved end and a beaded end with a flared base in the middle for easy removal. Oh, and it's dishwasher safe? Um, yes, please!

Promising reviews: "Surprised my partner with this because we love anal play, and I thought a glass toy would be fun! It's our first glass toy, and we love it so much! Love the size and overall feel!" —Jessie

"Flawless design: no ridges on the glass, very smooth. Fabulous orgasmic massage to my prostate or my GF's G-spot. Would certainly recommend." —JP

Get it from Unbound for $35 or Amazon for $34.

Promising review: "When it started, it felt so amazing, and having sex with my wife it makes me cum so much, and it feels so amazing. She loves it. She says it makes me harder and keeps me hard longer afterward to keep going after I come." —Joseph S.

Get it from Lovers for $110.

In true Cute Little Fuckers style, this toy is also waterproof and includes a removable bullet vibrator for versatility.

Promising review: "I love this toy. It’s wide enough to make me feel full yet narrow enough that as an anal beginner, I need very little warming up to get going with it. The curve at the end hits some really nice places, and the ears make it really easy to hold on to while going, and make it possible to spin the toy inside of me too which I found I really liked. Plus it’s so dang cute! Maybe the cutest CLF in my opinion." —Fizzle

Get it from Cute Little Fuckers for $74 (available in yellow and purple).

Cute Little Fuckers is a queer-owned small business that features (some very adorable) creature-inspired sex toys, making them less intimidating and more versatile to everyone’s needs.

Here's the breakdown of the Snug Plug sizes: the smallest size (snug plug 1) is 54 g, 0.88 inches wide and 3.4 inches long (insertable) and the largest (snug plug 7) is 1.32 lbs, 2.5 inches wide and 6.85 inches long (insertable).

Promising reviews: "I am fairly new to butt plugs and made the mistake of buying a plug from a different company that was way too small. When I read about the Snug Plug, I really wanted to try it and decided to get #4. I am so glad I did! It takes me a few minutes to insert but once it’s inside me, it is very comfortable and feels SO GOOD! I love how I feel so full. I love wearing it for long periods of time in my home and will be wearing it out in public for the first time on my anniversary." —K.M.

"I have had Snug Plug 2 for a while and decided to size up to the 4. I have other b-Vibe products including the Rimming Plug, which if you don't have it is a must-get item. Anyway, the 4 arrived and it was bigger than I expected and I thought that I would have trouble getting in. I read the instructions but didn't really get it, initially. After lots of lube and some attempts to get in, I did what the instructions suggested and to my surprise, it went right in. Now I am at my desk working and enjoying the #4. Maybe in a few months, I'll go for the 5." —Matt

Get it from B-Vibe for $49.99+ (available in seven sizes and assorted colors) or Amazon for $45+ (available in size 1, size 2, size 3, and size 4).

B-Vibe is a premium collection of tech-forward anal play products founded by certified sex educator Alicia Sinclair.

Promising reviews: "This is such a wonderful plug. It slides in so easily and feels so comfortable. Almost like too comfortable but certainly full. I will want to go bigger soon. My wife will inherit this one for her starter plug." —MattmanTX

"I've been enjoying anal toys for a few years now and I have to say that this Vibrating Snug Plug is a 10 out of 10. The size and the way that it fits in my butt is a thrill." —Robert

Get it from B-Vibe for $94.99+ (available in five sizes).

At 7.5 inches long, this bulbous beauty steps into the ring and offers 2 pounds of weight for the full feeling your other toys might be missing.

Promising reviews: "The Pure Wand is a toy I ordered wondering if it was going to live up to the hype. I had read so many reviews with the reviewers almost having a cult-like worship of this toy that I half-expected to be disappointed… but I wasn’t. Everything about the Pure Wand is both surprising and yet not surprising — I knew it was going to be heavy, but you don’t really know until you hold it in your hand. I knew it was going to do amazing things to my prostate, but I was still surprised when it had me shaking with each stroke of the ball sliding over my P-spot. Overall, this wand is so perfectly made, and while expensive, worth it since it is going to last longer than I am." —J Johnson

"I have never been successful at making myself squirt, and did not have high expectations of this toy, but let me tell ya, IT IS AMAZING! It just won't stop! Buy this, buy a waterproof blanket, and take the week off work! The only thing I don't like about it is that the way I have to hold it to get the angle right ends up hurting the bottom knuckle of my thumbs. Also, it gets very slippery! Maybe I'll invest in a partner or weightlifting gloves to solve both of these problems! Lol." —Katie Moore

Get it from Amazon for $86.50.

Supple, body-safe silicone offers a waterproof exterior and a flared base helps the plug stay put.

Promising reviews: "Heck yes! Buy it, buy it now! Liked this so much that we ordered the bigger version and the Edge. The user interface could use a lot of work but once you get it going you'll forget about it in the bliss that the vibrator is delivering. The battery life seems to be pretty good, used it for over an hour with no issues. It is reasonably quiet but you couldn't wear it in a quiet place like a restaurant." —RDouglas

"We have had a great time with this. I bought the largest and it took a bit to get used to it. We are a couple of states away from each other and he has had a great time setting me off while I’m at work or doing things around home. The vibration is very intense at the highest setting and at the lowest just keeps you on edge. Being made of the material that it is, you have to keep it clean and let it air out, so it doesn’t smell if you get any fecal matter on it. Definitely recommend!" —Jandy

Get it from Amazon for $89+ (available in four sizes).

The XS plug measures 2.75 inches long and 1.3 inches wide at its max; and the XL plug is 5.75 inches long and 2.7 inches at its widest point.

Promising reviews: "This was my first 'luxury' toy purchase for my rear. I’ve had several other butt plugs, but none have compared to these. I’m not a pro but knew I could handle at least the small, so that’s what I went with. I’ll admit I was intimidated at first. I warmed up slightly and found this was much easier to get in than a traditional tapered plug. I love the squish, and it sits perfectly between my cheeks. The only thing I’m sad about is I’m too shy to tell people I know how great these are. Thanks for making a great product and allowing Peep Show Toys to sell it!" —Derek

"I'm definitely pleased with this sparkly blue butt plug (medium size). Despite the blunt shape and substantial dimensions, it's easier to insert than I expected. Once inserted, the shape and softness are very comfortable and provide a nice full feeling. This butt plug stays in place easily, the base is quite comfortable between the cheeks, and the silicone has just enough firmness to provide some pleasant prostate stimulation. I've found a new favorite in the Ergo Soft Blueballs Silicone Butt Plug." —J.

Get it from Peepshow Toys for $36.99+ (available in five sizes).

Promising reviews: "Experienced user here so started with the largest, slipped right in with minimal effort, put on a thong to help keep it from popping out, and have been rockin' it the past six hours, only wish they made a next size up set!" —RandomGuy

"Bought these for my girlfriend and she loves them! And so do I! They are very comfortable and come in the correct size for those that want to take their love life to a new level. If you are new, start with the small size and work your way up. This product is perfect as you can start small and move up as you become more comfortable." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $15.85+ (available in 14 colors).

This slim plug is 1.3" at its widest point and 4" long — just remember to use a water-based lube for extra-smooth sailing!

Promising reviews: "The perfect starter for anal play. My man and I both love using it on each other to the point we have to take turns on who gets it first. ;)" —CEL

"I never used a plug before and we searched for one with my partner. Don’t hesitate if you are like me and pick this one! It’s just the perfect size and shape for a first time and it will give you lots of pleasure you didn’t know you needed. Amazing paired with Jelly!" —Camille

Get it from Unbound for $25.

Promising reviews: "Feels amazing going in and even better once it’s turned on, the vibrations are enough to hit that special spot and leave you begging for more!" —Anonymous

"If you’re looking for a product to send shockwaves through your body, this is it! This toy will keep you excited and pleasured for hours. Try it with your partner or enjoy it by yourself. You will not be disappointed!" —Jerome Monegan

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).

The set includes a vibrating butt plug, a wireless remote, three B-Vibe enamel pins, a carrying case, a greeting card, and a sticker.

This 1.5-inch diameter plug has seven rotation patterns and six intensities to explore and stimulate your P-spot as you start (or continue) your journey into anal play. Also, it's splash-proof!

Looking for something a little larger? Check out the Rimming Plug 2 and the Rimming Plug XL, which have all the same features but a little more length.

Promising reviews: "I purchased the rimming plug petite after the thrilling experiences I had with the Snug Plug. The rotating beads in the neck on their own are amazing and then add in the vibrating tip... exhilarating!!! With the remote, you can just relax and discover what patterns and intensity turn you on. Very innovative." —TK (on Petite)

"My partner is skeptical when it comes to anal toys. But she absolutely loves this plug. Being wireless there is no messy wires in the way. And having rechargeable batteries is just fantastic. She loves the feel of the rimming action. She was satisfied many times. Best butt plug on the market hands down." —JAV (on Plug 2)

"I worked up to this for a while. I’m a straight male, heard about prostate play and the benefits, and began experimenting. This is the best product I have used! It’s still always a challenge to get in, which makes it that much better." —Ronan (on XL)

Get it from B-Vibe for $159.99 (available in three colors) or Amazon for $114.23+ (also available in Rimming Plug 2 and XL).

With 3.5 inches of insertable length and a width of 1.25 inches, this sleek plug was designed to satisfy.

Promising review: "Everyone is different so what works for some might not for others. This is a great adult toy that is easy to clean, doesn't get 'sticky' like some, and can be used with silicone lube. The only 'problem' is that for some it is not 'a wear it and forget it'. If not held, it can turn or twist depending on what else you are doing, and again everyone is different but the handle may be too big for some to sit while using this." —Frequent Shopping Leads to Reviews

Get it from Amazon for $65.55.

Choose your favorite: the seductive spiral, the narrow bulbs, or the classic graduated bulbs. Convenient retrieval loops offer easy removal.

Promising review: "These were great for my entry into anal play. I think the material and size were great with not having much experience. The purple one felt incredible for both my partner and me when he was penetrating me vaginally at the same time. All in all, led to a very fun night." —Paige

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in black and pink/purple).

Promising reviews: "I have tried a LOT of different massagers over the years, but this takes the crown. Being able to adjust the position of the insertable end to target the prostate makes a HUGE difference. The customizability and the available patterns on the app for the strongest vibration in any massager I've ever had, make for the best stimulation I've ever received this way. Multiple dry o's and was able to wet o. This is my #1 now." —JS

"I’m on my third one of these over several years and I cannot say enough good things. Perfect size and fit and not too large and not too small. It actually stays in, unlike a lot I have tried. It’s easy to clean and has a long battery life. The multiple settings are great to change it up. It’s by far the most powerful and intense vibrator I’ve used. If you don’t like strong vibrations, this is not for you. My whole body is relaxed and tingly after using this. Definitely hits the P-spot." —Anthony Bohn

Get it from Amazon for $129.

This vibrator has 6 intensity levels with 15 vibration modes that rumble through both the tip and base to simultaneously stimulate the clit *and* G-spot or *perineum* and prostate (or A-spot!). It's also shower-friendly, if you want to get a little wet, and has a travel lock for when you want to take it on the go!

Promising review: "First off, it's not as big as it looks on the website, however, the vibes are very rumbly...and not so much buzzy. It's heavy in your hand (in a good way), solid construction, and very esthetically pleasing. We used it in couple's play, and the wife loves a continuous vibe on a medium setting, which was a huge sweet spot on this one. If you like girth, this one isn't for you, but it's a G-spot/clitoral combo pleasure over and over (according to my wife). Great for couples play, would imagine a great solo vibe, too. In the end, it made her come three times before we made love...great enhancement. Love this product." —Moose

Get it from Le Wand for $159.99 (available in three colors).

The small plug is 3.8 inches insertable and 1 inch wide, while the medium plug is 4.6 inches insertable and 1.7 inches wide. The largest plug is 4.8 inches insertable and 2.3 inches wide. Its silicone design means it can be cleaned with toy cleaner, toy wipes, antibacterial soap, and water, in the dishwasher, or boiled for sanitation. Avoid using silicone-based lubricants with this plug!

Promising reviews: "It is not for beginners. It is not uncomfortable and is a nice plug to wear for an extended period of time. I can wear it whenever I am out running errands, and it feels amazing. Most importantly there is not a lingering odor or anything like that. If you are looking for an intermediate plug then this one is a great buy." —Smartie (on large)

"I love this plug, wearing as I write this review. VERY comfortable, can wear it for hours. I even wore it out in public." —Ken Petro (on medium)

Get it from Amazon for $13.33+ (available in two sizes).

BTW, the plug has a tulip-inspired bulb shape to tilt towards the wearer's G-spot and help "guide" their lover's penis or dildo in that pleasurable direction.

Promising review: "It has been my first anal toy and it has been wonderful! I have used it with my partner and it has been one of the most pleasurable experiences I remember. Perfect size, the only issue is the two tips that make insertion a little difficult." —Irati

Get it from Fun Factory or Amazon for $45 (available in light and dark purple).

Promising reviews: "If you're into anal play then b-Vibe is the brand for you! Cinco adds two more beads to their original Triplet Anal beads, lending itself to deeper play. The vibration also provides added stimulation and slightly easier use for those who are still beginning and looking to ease into anal penetration." —Emma McGowan

"I love this toy! The vibration patterns are quite varied, it isn't very loud, it's waterproof and easy to charge, and it feels amazing, from the first insertion of the first bead to the teasing of inserting and removing of the next beads, until it is all the way in and driving me crazy! The orgasms I get from having this inside me while masturbating are always fantastic. I have yet to even ask my partner to use this on me, she doesn't even use toys herself, but I long to have this toy in me during receiving oral or having penetrative sex." —Mark

Get it from B-Vibe for $149.99 (originally $170) or Amazon for $149.97.

This versatile toy is also perfect for exploration of the erogenous zones and the bullet is removable.

Promising reviews: "This is an amazing little toy, the other reviews mention that it's soft but no actually — it is astoundingly soft. Additionally, the unique shape of Princette helped my partner and me get orgasmically creative when I was injured and unable to do our usual stuff. Thank you CLF!" —m.

"I love all of the Little Fuckers so far, but Princette is my favorite. Easy to hold, which is important for someone like me with joint pain, and the settings go from gentle rumble to 'Oh you better hang onto something.' The various speeds and pulses are very easy to figure out, and even a first-time user like me got the hang of it very quickly. Overall, 10/10, cutest little buddy." —Liz

Get it from Cute Little Fuckers for $69 (available in purple and platinum).

The Shimmy plug has five vibrating speeds and five patterns to add a little more rumble to anal play and is completely waterproof and submersible!

Promising reviews: "This is an amazing product! As a trans woman, I find it's incredibly hard to find toys that work for me as I don't yet have a *cough* front hole. This one does the trick! It's genuinely changed my experience with any toys I use, as well as making going into the shower an enjoyable and fun experience. Any other trans-women out there looking at this toy: do it! It'll do the trick, I can pretty much guarantee it. —K.S.

"Dude, this lil' booty buzzer rocks my world. It's so smooth 'n' cute 'n' really gets the job done. This is my first plug, and I would recommend it for newbies like myself. I was nervous when I felt the vibration settings in my hand out of the box, but once it's in there the settings are really great and the low ones are definitely not too much. Highly recommend!" —L.Q.

Get it from Unbound for $36 or Amazon for $61.

This delectable collection is a collaboration between B-Vibe and sex educator Zoë Ligon, the self-described "dildo duchess." The small (bump texture), medium (swirl texture) and large (twist texture) plugs each have different textures along with six vibration modes and a splash-proof design. I'm not encouraging you to buy them all but to ask yourself, what's the harm?

Promising review: "The texture plugs are fantastic. The medium was my first B-Vibe product and turned out to be a gateway plug. The medium has a fantastic shape and is easily used in both partner play and the shower. The large has heft and the motor is extremely strong. Time, lube, and patience makes them so easy to enjoy. These are well constructed products worth their premium price." —Kevin

Get it from B-Vibe for $53.99+ (originally $90+ and available in three sizes).

Promising reviews: "Was unsure how well this toy would work... The most incredible stimulating toy I have ever bought! Very strong motors, serious thrust, and incredible vibrating. It feels like the real thing! I enjoy it immensely! Easy to clean and the remote is very easy to use. The charge lasts for a long time. Would highly recommend — it almost makes hookups unnecessary." —jack clopein

"Nice size — it’s giving boyfriend dick. Really mixed my guts; the vibration on the gooch part is really nice and smooth. If you’re worried about the c-ring part, it’s very stretchy and not tight at all, and very comfortable to use. The only gripe is that it comes out easily, but that’s a plus when you’re finished. Can’t wait to use it with my partner." —Ikenna

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in four styles).
