Wash thoroughly any food or other biodegradable objects: grapes, for example, can create a yeast infection. After play, eat food with bacterial culture, such as yogurt, which can assist in recovery of the normal rectal fauna, which ultimately aids in healing abrasion. Use lots of lube and know the size of the bottom, knowing approximately what he or she can take. The skin of the anus is thin and sensitive and therefore, easy to abrade. Store-bought plastic, in various sizes (some with leather bottoms or holes for hooks in order to attach a strap that will hold the plug in) vibrating plug with leather tail attached (great for playing horsy, especially with a horse-bit gag) corn-on-the-cob vegetables eggs, hard-boiled, cooled, and shelled marshmallows, frozen or thawed frozen grapes anal beads of various sizes (a string of plastic beads of any size placed a few inches apart on a string) chain link, any size, the type that has no rough edges on the links. Women should follow the dictum, 'From vagina to butt, but not butt to vagina.' Reserve a lube container for that bottom, or, better yet, a bottom should have his or her own lube container. A hand moving from a lube container to a person and then back to the lube container inevitably deposits things from the person to the lube container. Remember that while plugs can be shared (with a condom), lube should not be. Routine use of condoms on buttplugs is an easy safe practice to follow regularly, and it allows for sharing of toys among bottoms.

Since a vagina has no sphincter muscle to hold a plug in, a plug must be stuffed in and held or strapped in. (Faster movement should, in theory, be reserved for a dildo anyway.) Most commercial buttplugs have a narrow part at the bottom where the sphincter muscle can hold it and keep it inside. Save twisting, grinding, and vigorous movement for later, after the muscles have relaxed. When inserting a plug, use lots of lube, and go slowly.

Vaginal plugs are the same, but a wider variety of sizes and shapes can be used. Dildos can be considered along with buttplugs in this discussion. Generally, a plug stays in place and a dildo moves a plug is not necessarily phallic-looking a dildo probably is. If a distinction needs to be made between buttplugs and dildos, you could say that it's more a difference in what you do with the object than what it looks like or how it feels. Buttplugs-in the generic sense of an object to plug the butt-come in any shape or size you can imagine.
