Alright, let’s get into it. Saw a bunch of folks online curious about trying butt plugs but scared or confused. Honestly? Me too for years. Finally bit the bullet last month. Figured I’d share exactly how I started, zero experience, totally awkward.

The Shopping Trip Was Wild
First step: actually buying the damn things. Felt like a spy sneaking around the adult store. Wanted something beginner-friendly, not giant steel monsters. Spent forever squinting at boxes:
- Grab a Silicone Kit: Found this starter set with four small plastic/rubber plugs. Tiny ones the size of my pinky tip all the way up to… well, still smaller than my thumb. Cheapo brand. Price was right.
- DO NOT SKIMP ON LUBE: Grabbed water-based lube like everyone screams about. Big bottle. Wasn’t taking chances.
Threw cash at the clerk like it was burning me. Bag felt glowing neon on the bus ride home.
Setting Up My Shower Lab
Cleaned everything first. Boiled water in my crappy kettle, dumped the plugs in the sink. Washed my hands til they were pruney. Got the bathroom steamy – shower running hot. Felt calmer with the white noise.
The Big Moment: Trying #1 (Tiny Cone)
Started stupid slow. Used like half the lube bottle – seriously glopped it everywhere. On the plug, on me, everywhere. Bent over, felt ridiculous. Deep breath. Just pressed the tiny point gently against the entrance.
First surprise? It wasn’t painful. Mostly felt weird pressure. Like needing to poop but backwards. Hesitated. Fought the instinct to clench up. Pushed back very gently. Suddenly… pop! Little guy slid right in with a soft squelch.

Stood up straight. Felt… full? Kinda weird, kinda cool. Hardly noticed it was there after a minute. Walked around the steamy bathroom. Didn’t die. Win.
Got Cocky & Tried #2 Too Fast
Went for the next size up after maybe 2 minutes. Mistake. Point was just thicker. Used less lube this time (idiot move). Pressed harder. Instant “NOPE” stabby feeling. Yanked it back out like my butt was on fire. Lesson learned: Use oceans of lube. Wait longer than you think.
Second Attempt: Respecting The Process
Waited til next shower session. Used the tiniest plug again to get warmed up. Actually spent 5 minutes with it this time, just breathing. Relaxed my hips. Added ridiculous amounts of slippery lube to the slightly larger one. Pressed slower than slow. Let my body figure out the stretch.
Felt resistance, but not pain. Stopped pushing. Breathed deep. Relaxed even my damn toes. Pushed only when breathing out. Slowly, slowly… in it went. Felt like a bigger stretch, like a deep muscle ache, not cutting pain. Left it in while washing my hair. Got used to the stretchy feeling. Weirdly pleasant after.
My Totally Beginner Conclusions
- Water-Based Lube is God: Seriously. The bottle should fear you. Drench everything.
- Patience or Pay the Price: Rushing = bad times. Wait out the “gotta clench” instinct. It passes.
- Start STUPID Small: Tiny plugs are confidence builders. Don’t skip levels.
- Listen to Your Butt: Sharp pain? Stop. Stretchy feeling? Okay to proceed slow. Different feelings.
- Shower is a Beginner Safe Zone: Easy cleanup. Relaxing steam. Felt less awkward alone.
Still no expert, still nervous trying bigger stuff. But as a total clueless beginner? These cheap little plugs and heaps of lube made it way less scary. Take it slow, folks.
