My First Inflatable Butt Plug Experience — And Why I’d Try It Again

I didn’t think I’d ever say this, but trying an inflatable butt plug changed how I feel about anal play—in the best way possible. As someone who used to tense up at the idea, this experience completely flipped the script for me. If you’ve been curious but hesitant, let me walk you through what it actually felt like, what I learned, and why I’m already looking forward to round two.

My curiosity started when I stumbled on a guide about inflatable butt plugs . The idea of a toy that could gently grow inside you sounded oddly fascinating. Unlike regular plugs that come in fixed sizes, this one promised control, custom pressure, and a deeper sense of fullness—on my terms.

Still, I was nervous. Would it hurt? Would it be too intense? Would I even enjoy it?

Spoiler: I did.

I started with a smaller, beginner-friendly plug from Xomiy's inflatable series. What helped most was taking my time, both mentally and physically.

Choosing the Right Size

If you’re new like me, don’t go big. Trust me. Pick something soft, medium-length, and made from body-safe silicone. Look for one with a soft bulb and a built-in release valve—absolute must.

Lubrication = Non-Negotiable

I used JulietToys Realistic Cum Lube, which has a thick, slick texture perfect for anal toys.
Pro tip? Anal or fisting lubes offer better cushion and stay in place longer—crucial for inflatable toys. 

With some deep breaths and generous lube, the uninflated plug slid in without too much resistance. It felt snug but not painful. Actually, I expected worse. The soft material helped, and I gave myself time to just breathe and relax once it was in.

Lying on my side made insertion easier—and helped me stay relaxed throughout.

I gave the pump a small squeeze. Then another. The feeling was slow, deliberate, and… surprisingly pleasurable. There’s a moment when your body goes from “tense and cautious” to “open and intrigued.” That’s when the toy really starts doing its job.
The pressure builds from the inside—not sharp, just full. Not overwhelming, just there. Like your body’s being hugged from the inside out. Each pump deepened the sensation, but I never felt like I lost control. The valve was easy to reach, and just knowing I could deflate it at any time gave me extra confidence to keep going.

After 10–15 minutes, I let the air out slowly and removed the toy. My muscles were relaxed. My body felt warm. I wasn’t buzzing like after a vibrator—but it was this gentle hum of satisfaction and softness. I genuinely felt good.

If you're tempted to try it, here’s what I wish someone had told me:

• Use lots of lube—and go with a thick anal lube or fisting lube
• Relax and take your time—rushing ruins the experience
• Start with the smallest size and work your way up
• Don’t overinflate—two to three pumps might already be enough
• Check the valve before using, and practise deflating it quickly
• Try it in a quiet, comfy setting, ideally lying on your side the first time

This wasn't just about pleasure—it was about letting go. About softening into something new. About exploring myself in a way that felt safe, empowering, and actually… kind of intimate.

I'd absolutely do it again. And if you're on the fence, maybe it’s your turn to see what all the pressure (and pleasure) is about.
