So I finally got curious enough to try butt stuff myself after hearing all these wild stories from friends. Man, was I clueless at first!

Before Anything Else
I actually spent like three whole nights just Googling tips on my phone while laying in bed. Kept seeing folks screaming “LUBE LUBE LUBE” everywhere – bought myself that expensive water-based one everyone raved about. Also grabbed these beginner butt plugs off an adult site after reading descriptions like “teeny” and “smooth entry”. Funny thing was putting my finger in the shower first to test my own reaction – freaked out when I realized how tense I got!
The Night It Went Down
Set mood lighting and queued up chill music to relax muscles on purpose. Seriously thought I was prepared until I squeezed that cold lube bottle – made me jump like an idiot! Started crazy slow with the smallest plug:
- Pushed gently while breathing out like those yoga vids teach
- Froze when it felt like hitting a wall
- Waited a minute before trying just barely more pressure
Suddenly felt this weird “pop” sensation and it slid right in. Weirdest part was that after the initial panic, it was actually kinda comfy? Definitely no sharp pain at all. Left it like 15 mins while binge-watching cooking shows before attempting removal.
What Actually Helped
Key things that saved my butt (literally):

- Warming up for ages with fingers first
- Using double the lube I thought I needed
- Stopping immediately at ANY resistance
- Zero rush to move up sizes
Next day I felt minor soreness like after a gym session – nothing concerning. Tried again a week later and mind blown how much easier it was when muscles weren’t scared!
