You asked:

I'm planning to buy my first butt plug. Which material should I choose? Metal, glass... or does it need to be soft silicone? Is there anything else I need to be considering?

Grace:

For materials, I always suggest either silicone or metal for butt plugs. Since silicone is the more affordable option, it’s usually the go-to for beginners—plus, it comes in a wider variety.

I don’t think a soft silicone plug is necessary. In fact, it can sometimes be a mistake because if it’s too soft, the base might not be as effective. Instead, focus on getting something small to start with. Later, you can add more plugs that gradually increase in size. And in regards to the base, a T-bar is definitely the best choice.

There are plenty of great beginner-friendly silicone plugs, but since you’ll likely need to buy multiple anyway, I always recommend starting with the b-Vibe Anal Training Kit. It includes three different-sized plugs, along with useful accessories and educational materials. It’s also great value and makes the whole process of starting out much easier.
