5 Best Butt Plugs of 2026, Tested and Reviewed

ProsFeatures the most vibration levelsRotation modes mimic the sensation of a rim jobRemote control makes this toy easy to useDesigned for both new and seasoned butt plug usersComes with a case and travel lockConsLouder than other butt plugsAfter researching the top-rated and bestselling butt plugs, our editors determined that the Petite Rimming Butt Plug is the overall best pick for people who are both new and used to anal play. With an insertable length of just under four inches, this plug is great pick for newbies—but it also features a breadth of features and settings that more experienced anal lovers will appreciate, too. Along with six vibration intensities, this plug features seven rotating modes, meant to provide the same sensations as a rim job.“The number of vibration options was a little overwhelming at first, but once I got the hang of them, I appreciated having that much room to experiment,” our tester says. “You can lean into different vibration patterns depending on what feels best in the moment. Each experience feels a little different rather than overly repetitive.” (Just be prepared for a not-so-silent sexploration. The reviewer noted that when they turned the toy to the strongest vibration level, it was louder than they expected.)They also liked that, despite having so many vibration modes—the most of any plug on this list!—the toy was “relatively simple” to use. “There can be a lot to juggle between the toy, the remote, lube, etc. but this one surprised me,” the reviewer says. “The controls felt intuitive, and the whole setup was much easier to manage than I expected.”Another cool thing about this toy is its added remote control, says Debra Laino, DHS, a sexologist and relationship therapist in Delaware. While vibrating butt plugs can be a lot of fun, having to reach behind and push a button to turn them on is... not. The remote was “pretty straightforward” to use, our tester says, with easy to understand buttons. That also makes this toy ideal for spicing up partner play, Laino says, because you can give your partner control over the vibration’s speed and rhythm.Read More: Best Anal VibratorsMaterialBody-safe siliconeInsertable Length3.9 in.Insertable Diameter1.4 in.Vibration Modes13 (7 rotation modes, 6 vibrating modes)Battery Life1 hourWeight0.28 lb.Rechargeable?YesWaterproof?YesStorage Bag?IncludedLube CompatibilityWater-based ProsTwo toys for the price of oneMore vibration modes than other, more expensive butt plugs Beginner-friendly sizeDon’t want to pony up on a plug? Get the most bang for your buck with this budget-friendly option from Lovehoney that’s really two toys in one, thanks to its removable bullet vibrator. “I like that you can use this toy as a butt plug and a bullet vibe,” our tester says. “You can even use them together if you don’t want the butt plug to vibrate, which is a nice option.” Plus, if you’re new to anal play, or unsure how often you’ll be incorporating it into your sex life, the bullet vibrator can always be used on its own. “Even if you realize you don’t like the butt plug part, you still have a solid bullet vibrator—and for a pretty good price,” the reviewer says.They also appreciated that the bullet features 10 vibration modes (three speeds and seven patterns), which is more than many other, more expensive vibrators on the market. “It’s just a small part of the larger toy, but the amount of vibration options really adds to the versatility and value because you can try a bunch of different sensations, both in and around your anus and on your clit,” says our tester. “You’ll never get bored.”Additionally, they found the butt plug easy to use (there’s only one button) and clean. Their only issue with the toy is that they wished it were rechargeable, rather than battery-powered. “This definitely wasn’t a dealbreaker,” they say, “but it was annoying to try to find the right size battery since they aren’t included.”MaterialSiliconeInsertable Length3.5 in.Circumference3.5 in.Vibration Modes10 (3 speeds, 7 patterns)WeightUnknownRechargeable?

This all-inclusive anal kit helps train your tush for butt play, with three plugs of different sizes, a lube applicator, anal enema, and even a guidebook. The smallest plug is “about the size of a finger,” our tester says, “which makes it perfect for first-timers.” It’s also lightweight, weighing less than a tenth of a pound.Once you’re used to inserting the small plug, you can move up to the medium one, which also vibrates. This will allow your body to experience a different kind of pleasurable sensation as you become more comfortable with the bigger sizes, Laino says. Our tester liked that this plug was rechargeable and had a battery life of one hour, although they did wish it offered more than six vibration modes. “Since this is the only plug in this kit that vibrates, I was expecting it to have more intensity levels, especially since other, smaller toys do,” the reviewer says. “Still, the vibration modes it does have are great.”The largest plug is weighted—clocking in at nearly half a pound—to create a feeling of fullness. “This plug is amazing for advanced users,” our tester says. “It’s a nice change from other large, vibrating anal toys because the weight offers a different sensation.” They also liked that all the plugs and accessories fit discreetly into a storage bag, and that the vibrating plug featured a travel lock. “So many sex toys don’t come with a storage bag or aren’t travel-friendly, so I always appreciate it when one does because it just makes the whole process easier,” they say.MaterialBody-safe silicone, ABSInsertable Length3.4 in., 4.4 in., 4.8 in.Insertable Diameter1 in.,1.3 in.,1.6 in.Vibration Modes6 (1 speed, 5 patterns)Battery Life1 hourWeight0.08 lbs., 0.19 lbs., 0.4 lbs.Rechargeable?YesWaterproof?YesStorage Bag?IncludedLube CompatibilityWater-basedProsOffers a fuller feeling than silicone butt plugsCan be used with multiple types of lubeComes with a handle for easier insertion during solo playLongest insertable lengthConsNot beginner-friendlyMost butt plugs are made out of silicone, which is what makes this stainless steel one from L’Acier so special. Metal is (obviously) much heavier and firmer than silicone, “so you get the extremely ‘full’ feeling when it's inside of you,” our tester says. “I prefer how metal or glass toys feel, but they never vibrate, which is a bummer. With this butt plug, you get the best of both worlds.” Like the Lovehoney plug, it comes with a removable bullet vibrator that you can easily insert into the hollowed-out portion of the toy.But that’s not all. “It also comes with various handles you can screw on, which can make it easier for solo play,” the reviewer says. Even though this butt plug is simple to use, it’s not the best option for beginners. It's bigger and heavier than all the plugs our team tested, so it will likely be too intense, and could even be painful, for someone who isn’t experienced with anal play. “It’s 1 lb and 15 ounces, which may not seem that heavy, but trust me, it is quite heavy,” our tester says. “But that's why I love it so much—you feel fuller with it due to the weight.”Another bonus of metal sex toys? You can use a silicone-based lube, which tends to last longer than water-based lube and feels frictionless against the body, Brito says. And our tester agrees: “I prefer to use thicker, silicone-based lube for anal play, but you can't with a silicone toy because it will erode and destroy the material,” the say. “This is one of the few toys on the market that vibrates and you can use silicone lube with it.” For all those reasons, our reviewer calls this butt plug “a staple in my sex toy collection.”Material316 Stainless Steel, ABS plasticInsertable Length5.5 in.

If you're into semi-public sex, bring this discreet little toy out to the club or bar and have your partner control it while you're on the dance floor, Brito suggests. Or, if you’re in a long-distance relationship, you can use it during some video chat sex, and invite your partner to control the speeds and vibrations. But don’t worry if you’re less than tech savvy—this toy also comes with a regular ol’ remote that is “very simple to use,” according to our tester.Overall, they say they’re “definitely going to add this toy to the rotation.”MaterialBody-safe siliconeInsertable Length3 in.Insertable Diameter1.2 in.Vibration Modes10Battery Life2 hoursWeightUnknownRechargeable?
