Butt plug sex toys are the most popular of the anal toy range. They have been designed for insertion into the anus and rectum for an intense sexual sensation. In many ways, butt plugs are similar to dildos, however, they are generally shorter, and commonly have a flared base to prevent the toy venturing to far into the rectum.
A butt plug (which may also be referred to as an anal plug) may come in an array of shapes, colours, textures and sizes. Some are sculpted in a manner so as to resemble a penis, whilst others may be ribbed or wavy. However, the most common shaped anal plugs embody a wide mid section which tapers to thin rounded point at its tip. Their base is flanged and connected to a narrow shaft which is attached to the wider mid section. This is holds the anal butt plug in place when inserted and also prevents it from entering to far into the rectum. Butt plugs can be made from various materials, commonly latex. However, an increasing number of butt plugs are now being made from silicone, glass, neoprene, stone, wood, metal and many other materials.
