A smaller, smooth plug with a tapered tip, flexible material and wide flared base is usually the easiest starting point. Increase size only when the current size is comfortable.

The base helps prevent the toy from traveling fully inside the rectum. Use only products specifically designed for anal insertion.

A generous amount of water-based lubricant is a dependable general option. Check the toy's material instructions before choosing another lubricant type.

Inflatable designs can increase fullness gradually, but they should be expanded slowly and only within the manufacturer's stated limits. Deflate fully before removal.
