An anal plug (also called a butt plug) is a sex toy designed to be inserted into the rectum and left in place for a period of time. Unlike dildos or vibrators that are usually thrust in and out, plugs are meant to stay put and provide a feeling of fullness, stretch the sphincter, or stimulate the prostate (in people with that anatomy).
Features of anal plug:
- A tapered tip for easier insertion
- A wide middle section that stretches the anus
- A narrow neck so the sphincter can close around it
- A flared base (very important) to prevent the toy from slipping fully inside and getting lost in the rectum
Plugs come in many materials (silicone, metal, glass, etc.) and sizes from tiny beginner plugs (under 1 inch diameter) to huge ones over 4 inches wide.
People use them for:
- Pleasure and feeling of fullness
- Anal training / stretching before bigger toys or anal sex
- Prostate stimulation
- Wearing discreetly under clothes for kink or public play
- As part of pet-play or role-play (especially tail plugs)
Anal Plug with Tail
A fox tail plug is a regular butt plug with a long, fluffy animal tail attached to the base. The most common and popular version is the fox tail because of its reddish-orange color, white tip, and luxurious look.
Key details:
- Tail length usually ranges from 12–25 inches (30–65 cm)
- Real fox tail plugs use genuine fox fur (dyed or natural); these are expensive (150–400 USD) and very soft
- Faux fur versions are much more common, cheaper (20–80 USD), vegan, and easier to clean
- The plug part that goes inside is almost always a metal or silicone plug (stainless steel is the most popular because it’s smooth, heavy, and holds temperature)
- Common plug sizes for tail plugs: small to medium (1–1.7 inches diameter) because they are often worn for longer periods or during role-play
Popular uses:
- Pet play (being a “fox,” “wolf,” “cat,” etc. in BDSM scenes)
- Cosplay and costume parties
- Photoshoots and kink events
- Simply because it looks and feels sexy while walking, crawling, or having sex
Care tips for fox tail plugs:
- Never submerge real fur tails in water — spot-clean only. Faux fur tails can usually be gently hand-washed. Always clean the metal/silicone plug part with soap and water or toy cleaner.
