Hollow Butt Plugs

What Is a Hollow Butt Plug?

A Hollow Butt Plug is a unisex anal sex toy that is suitably designed for anal insertion. It’s almost similar to a classic butt plug, but it’s most distinct characteristic is the hollow tube in the middle that allows a partner to peek right through the opening.

Other features include a flared end to prevent it from going all the way in and smooth edges for a seamless entry into the anus.

Basically, a Hollow Butt Plug stimulates and stretches the anus to deliver pleasure during anal sex. It works as an effective anal spreader to further intensify anal play. Individuals who are specifically fond of anal sex also use a Hollow Butt Plug to train their anal muscles, stretching and relaxing them for a more comfortable anal penetration.

Both men and women can use a Hollow Butt Plug during sexual intercourse, as well as heterosexual and same-sex couples. Couples who love experimenting in the bedroom may use a Hollow Butt Plug with a deep access tunnel combined with other anal sex toys to introduce different sensations and level up the anal sex experience. In such forms of anal play, the Hollow Butt Plug serves as an anal speculum dilator.

Types and Materials

Hollow Butt Plugs are made of different materials depending on the preferences of users. There are soft and pliable types, as well as hard and rigid types. Anal sex beginners should start with soft and flexible Hollow Butt Plugs made of silicone, thermoplastic rubber, or body-safe plastic. More experienced and skillful anal sex players use hard and rigid types that are made of hard plastic, metal, or glass.

Variations

Just like most anal sex toys, Hollow Butt Plugs have different shapes, colors, and texture variations. The most typical shapes resemble the physical form of a bullet, rocket, spade, goblet, and cylinder. One of the earliest models has a phallic shape with a slightly wider end that perfectly imitates a hollow penis.

When it comes to colors, there’s also a huge variety, particularly for Hollow Butt Plugs made of silicone, glass, and other synthetic materials. So you if you want your butt plug to be absolute eye candy for you and your partner, choose fun colors and designs that satisfy your penchant for nice and fancy things.

Hollow Butt Plugs are not only creatively designed as anal spreaders. They are also useful in stimulating the anus, which is why some models have various textures that you can play with. Some of the most common textures for Hollow Butt Plugs are ribbed, spirals and swirls, dotted, beaded, and realistic penis with veins. If you’re not a fan of textured anal sex toys, you can always opt for a smooth exterior finish for a slippery glide through the anus.

How to Use a Hollow Butt Plug

Hollow Butt Plugs are functional and versatile sex toys that you can incorporate during your most intimidating moments with your partner. Just the same, they are also useful for solo play and in expanding the anus for a more satisfying anal sex. Just as long as you’re using the right size and shape depending on your experience level, you can get a handful of benefits.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use a Hollow Butt Plug:

1. Pick the right size and shape.

Make sure to use the right size and shape of butt plug according to your level of experience. If you’re a newbie, start with a small hollow butt plug with a diameter of not more than 1 inch and a length of not more than 3 inches. Silicone butt plugs that are cylindrical are also more advisable for first-timers.

2. Apply lubricant.

Anything that you insert in your anus requires a good amount of lubricant. When using a Hollow Butt Plug, apply lubricant along its entire length and on the anal opening before insertion. Use the right type of lubricant that complements your sex toy’s material, such as water-based lubes, organic lubes, or the anal lubes.

3. Insert the Hollow Butt Plug in the anus.

Gradually insert the Hollow Butt Plug into the anus with a gentle thrusting motion. Apply more lubricant if necessary, to achieve a smooth and effortless glide. Insert it only up to a comfortable level or until you reach the neck of the butt plug. The flanged bottom is meant to stay outside the anus and serves as a safety feature to prevent the plug from going all the way in.

4. Feel the stretch.

The purpose of a Hollow Butt Plug is to penetrate your anus, deliver a sustained stretch to your anal muscles, and provide an additional stimulation mode while you’re wearing it. You may keep it there as you go through your sexual activities with your partner or while having your solo play. A Hollow Butt Plug is a static anal sex toy that you’ll find pleasurable to use as you get used to it.

5. Remove and clean when you’re done.

When you finish using your Hollow Butt Plug, either after having sexual intercourse with your partner or after solo play and anal training, pull it out gently from your anus and clean it right away. Don’t leave it lying around to avoid contamination. Instead, wash it directly with antibacterial soap under running water to disinfect, then store properly.

Creative Ways to Use Hollow Butt Plugs

There are different ways to incorporate Hollow Butt Plugs in your sexual activities. With some creativity and imagination, you can intensify foreplay and sex with a butt plug. Here are some ideas on how to use hollow butt plugs during sex whether you’re in a heterosexual or same-sex relationship;

Double Penetration

Women can wear a hollow butt plug during vaginal sex to experience double penetration. This can provide sustained and intense stimulation to the clitoris and G-spot’s internal walls, leading to a stronger orgasm.

Oral Sex

Men and women may wear a hollow butt plug while receiving oral sex from their partners. For women, wearing a butt plug provides a sense of fullness to the anus, making oral sex more pleasurable.

Among men, wearing a butt plug with beads along its “neck” or narrow end provides a rimming effect while receiving oral sex. For an even more intense sensation, gently rotate the exposed flanged bottom of the butt plug.

Intensify Vaginal Sex

Among women, wearing a Hollow Butt Plug can narrow down the vaginal opening, which results in tighter penetration to the vagina. This is particularly useful among women who want to experience tightness and fullness in their vagina during vaginal sex.

Stretch the Anal Muscles

Among gays who anticipate hot and intense anal sex with their male partners, wearing a hollow butt plug can provide continuous stretch to the anus. This is important in training and relaxing the anal muscles in preparation for anal sex. Getting used to the sensation of fullness results in comfortable and pleasurable anal sex.

Wet Play

Hollow Butt Plugs are useful for different wet play types – whether while masturbating or making out with a partner in the shower or bathtub. Wearing a textured butt plug and performing gentle twisting, rotating, and thrusting motions are pleasurable ways to tease and stimulate the anus while having a shower.

Hollow Butt Plug Types

Hollow Butt Plugs come in many different varieties that you can explore and play with. Some work more effectively as anal spreaders, while others complement various sexual activities such as vaginal penetration. All types are also versatile enough for both men and women, depending on the level of anal sex experience.

Most Hollow Butt Plugs that are commercially available have impressive designs suitable as novelty items and naughty game giveaways for adult parties and events. Some models are fancy enough as collectible items. Let’s explore the different types of Hollow Butt Plugs that you’d definitely love to have around in your bedroom.

Hollow Glass Butt Plug

A Hollow Glass Butt Plug is made of glass materials such as borosilicate glass, Pyrex, or crystal-like components. It is hard and rigid, making it more suitable for pro-level anal players.

Sex experts believe the glass butt plugs are generally more hygienic because users can sterilize them effectively by submerging them in hot water. And because glass is resilient to temperature, hollow glass butt plugs are also ideal for temperature play.

Hollow Metal Butt Plug

A Hollow Metal Butt Plug is made of smooth stainless steel metal, which accounts for its flashy and stunning appearance. It is a rigid type of butt plug available in different sizes and forms like a spade, rocket, and bullet, among others. Hollow Metal Butt Plugs also feature various textures such as ribbed, spiraled, bumped, and smooth. Other variations also have beaded necks to create a rimming effect to the anus.

Beginners may find Hollow Butt Plugs quite overwhelming because of their hardcore features and designs. However, smaller butt plug sizes are also available to accommodate entry levels looking for a steady and unyielding stretch to the anus.

Hollow Silicone Butt Plug

Well-known for their universal appeal and modest features, Hollow Silicone Butt Plugs remains one of the classic favorites for anal sex aficionados. There are two major types, flexible and non-flexible silicone plugs. Both are suitable for beginners and provide a smooth and comfortable stretch to the anus.

Flexible silicone types are bendable and squeezable in the anus, making them ideal for practice and introduction. Non-flexible types provide a firmer and steadier stretch to the anal muscles and therefore deliver a fuller effect.

Gay Hollow Butt Plug

Hollow Butt Plugs for gays are typically cylindrical and have a phallic shape. They resemble a penis and imitate its length, girth, and sensation. They are usually made of soft silicone, although there are also some which are made of glass.

One of the most distinctive characteristics of a gay hollow dildo is the textured neck that provides a rimming effect to the anus.

Gay Hollow Butt Plugs that are considered as large butt plugs have huge canals that allow the insertion of narrow anal sex toys. These butt plugs satisfy many anal kinks among gay users, including peeking through their partners’ holes and teasing the internal parts of their anus using an elongated sex toy or anal stimulator.

Textured Hollow Butt Plug

A Textured Hollow Butt Plug provides additional modes of stimulation to the anus aside from the penetration. The most common textures of butt plugs are ribs, ridges, smooth bumps, veins, spirals, and beads, among many others. It is important to use sufficient amounts of lubricant when using textured, hollow butt plugs to avoid anal abrasions and injuries.

Vibrating Hollow Butt Plug

A vibrating Hollow Butt Plug is a basic and non-motorized anal sex toy that emits vibrations through an inner bearing’s movement. It is usually made of soft silicone material and works as an anal expander and anal vibrator in one.

Most models have a slim anchor base for easy insertion and comfortable fit. Its size, form, and base are ideal for anal sex enthusiasts that are looking for a hollow butt plug that delivers pleasurable and satisfying sensations with every movement.

This innovative anal sex toy has a sleek design and smooth texture to ensure optimum comfort. It is wearable and vibrates even with the slightest shifting of the body. During sex, slow and effortless movements are enough to activate the silent vibrations that don’t require batteries.

Hollow Butt Plug Expander

A Hollow Butt Plug Expander is an anal sex toy made of soft silicone material that opens up to expand once inside the anus. It works as a hollow anal dilator that is meant to stimulate and train the anal muscles to relax and stretch to achieve a wider opening. The expander reaches up to 7.5 cm in diameter when fully dilated, making it advisable only for pro-level anal players.

Novelty Hollow Butt Plug

Novelty Hollow Butt Plugs are anal plugs that are artistically crafted in such a way that they look more like decorative items rather than sex toys. They are usually made of borosilicate glass with colors, designs, and aesthetically pleasing elements. The unique and creative designs make them quite unsuspicious anal sex toys.

Some creative variants have 24-carat gold embellishments, rosebuds, gems, crystals, and glimmering designs that are too extravagant to use. Novelty Hollow Butt Plugs are generally collectors’ items. They are naughty yet fine ornaments that you’d love to have around.

Precautions When Using Hollow Butt Plugs

1. Make sure that the Hollow Butt Plug has a flanged bottom.

One of the most important components of a Hollow Butt Plug is the flanged bottom. It serves as a stopper to ensure that the sex toy won’t go all the way in and get stuck within the rectum. Aside from a flanged bottom, some Hollow Butt Plugs have anchor-type stoppers or flared ringlets that easily allow users to pull out the sex toy from the anus.

2. Avoid butt plugs that contain harmful components.

There’s no specific regulation that governs commercially-available sex toys and their safety. Therefore, it helps to research which sex toy materials are safe and which ones are not. As an example, safety issues and concerns are emerging over phthalates.

These are chemical components found in various sex toys to increase the flexibility of plastic.

Clinical research states that prolonged exposure to phthalates may harm the body tissues, testicles, and liver, and may even cause cancer. This research was further supported by the Environmental Protection Agency.

3. Use the right type of lubricant.

Lubrication is highly essential for anal sex because the anus does not produce fluids to ease up the penetration. Furthermore, the tight muscular sphincter at the anal opening has more resistance than the vagina, which is rich is folds and elastic tissue. For an enjoyable anal sex experience using your Hollow Butt Plug, it’s important to use the right type of sex lube.

Water-based lube: This is your safest and most practical choice because it is useful for all your sexual activities and works well with almost any type of sex toy material. You can use a water-based lubricant for masturbation, penetrative anal sex, and sex toy play.

It’s also more advisable for people who are prone to irritation and have sensitive skin. Water-based lube is non-sticky and requires a constant application.

Silicone-based lube: This is slippery and requires less re-application because it stays on longer. It’s suitable for marathon sex and wet play. Silicone-based lubricants are ideal for use in the shower because they do not wash off easily. The only drawback is that they require intensive washing and soaping to get rid of the greasy after-feel.

Oil-based lube: Oil-based lubricants provide a greasy and slippery sensation that stays longer than water-based lubes, making them suitable for masturbation, wet play, and sensual massage. However, they are not suitable for use with latex condoms.

4. Relax the anal muscles before penetration.

Relaxing the anal muscles before anal penetration is important for comfortable anal sex. You can do this by gently pushing down as if you’re having a bowel movement. Doing this can make Hollow Butt Plug insertion much easier. It also helps reduce anxiety among first-timers.

5. Do not share your butt plug with your partner.

The idea of sharing a Hollow Butt Plug with your partner may sound intimate. However, this is not advisable because it’s unsanitary and may impose serious health risks.

So no matter how strong the temptation is to share one butt plug with your partner and use it alternately during sex, avoid doing so. If you and your partner are both fond of wearing hollow butt plugs during foreplay and sex, then it’s worth investing in two separate plugs for each of you.

6. Use a condom.

If you’re quite particular with the cleanliness of your Hollow Butt Plug, dress it up with a condom. This can prevent your butt plug from having direct skin tissue contact and makes cleaning and disinfection easier and more hassle-free. Make sure to choose water-based lube if you intend to use a condom with your Hollow Butt Plug.

7. Watch what you eat.

Yes, what you eat before anal sex, anal penetration, or “bottoming” matters a lot. Being selective with your food intake is a better alternative to frequent douching. So basically, your diet can prepare you for intense anal action. So what should you eat if you love having anal sex?

Eating raw vegetables, fruits, whole wheat, and foods rich in fiber are good for maintaining clean bottoms.

It also helps to cut down on red meat, greasy foods, sugar, and dairy products. Minimize alcohol intake to reduce risks of dehydration, as well as legumes that cause gassiness.

Some highly-recommended snacks that are good for your bottom and gut health are raw nuts, fresh berries, yogurt, and brown rice. And more importantly, increase your water intake to flush out toxins from your body easily.
