A butt plug, also called an anal plug, is a sex toy inserted anally and held in place by its shape. Its typical tapered tip makes insertion easier, while the wider base prevents the plug from slipping fully inside. Butt plugs come in many sizes, shapes, colors, and materials and are used for different purposes in erotic or BDSM contexts.

Safe and careful use is important: only use a plug that is suitable for anal use, clean, and undamaged, ideally with plenty of lubricant. Gentle handling is necessary because the rectum is sensitive and improper use can cause pain, mucosal injury, or the toy getting stuck. When using metal, glass, or heavy models, pay attention to temperature, weight, and compatibility; extreme cold or overly large sizes should not be used lightly. As with all anal play, consent, hygiene, and stop signals are essential.
