An anal plug is a type of sex toy specifically designed for anal stimulation. It has a flared base to prevent it from being fully inserted, and is often tapered for comfortable insertion. Anal plugs can enhance sexual pleasure for both men and women, providing a unique sensation and increased stimulation during solo play or with a partner. They can also be used for anal training and to prepare for anal intercourse. Anal plugs are made from various materials, including silicone and stainless steel, and come in a range of sizes to accommodate different levels of experience and comfort.
