Incompatible: Remember that this toy is not compatible with silicone-based lubricants (use a water-based one instead).

Painless: If it's your first time, you might be interested in our 10-step guide to pain-free anal sex.

Disinfection: Anal sex is wonderful, but we must not forget that dangerous bacteria live in the anus, which we must eliminate from our toys after using them. You can clean them with pH-neutral soap, but to be 100% sure of good disinfection, we recommend using a specific erotic toy cleaner (like these).

Help with dilation: The key to enjoyable anal sex is achieving good dilation of the anal sphincter. Here are 10 tips for pain-free anal sex, and here are the 10 best positions. Also, if you've never tried using an anal dilation lubricant (like these), it might help you a lot, as they relax the anus and promote dilation.

Insert in exhalation: The external sphincter muscles relax during exhalation. Starting the insertion of the plug while exhaling reduces resistance and the sensation of pressure.

Warm the sphincter beforehand: Before inserting the plug, gently apply circular motions around the anus with lubricant for 20-30 seconds to help relax the outer ring. This technique is recommended by pelvic floor physiotherapists.

Progressive sizing whenever possible: If it’s your first plug, using a smaller one for 2-3 minutes before switching to the definitive one reduces the likelihood of discomfort by more than 50%, according to progressive dilation studies.

Let the body ‘suck it in’: Instead of pushing, place the lubricated tip and wait a few seconds. The sphincter tends to absorb the plug reflexively. This avoids forcing and allows for a more comfortable entry.

Maximum recommended time: Recommended continuous use: 15-20 minutes if it’s the first time, extending progressively if there are no discomforts. Avoid numbness or loss of sensitivity.

Slow withdrawal: Remove the plug as slowly as it was inserted. Sudden withdrawal may generate an aggressive sensation in the internal sphincter.

Be cautious with the tactile silence of soft silicone: Some very soft silicone plugs can create a vacuum when removed. A slight twist and micro air entry prevent the suction sensation.

Check lubricant during use: Anal friction increases lubricant absorption. Reapplying every 5-10 minutes keeps the experience smooth and without tightness.

Basic contraindications: If the person has anal fissures, inflamed hemorrhoids, or persistent pain, it’s best to avoid use until resolved. This prevents negative experiences and unnecessary damage.
