Butt plugs along with anal beads are arguably the best introduction to all things anal. They feel pretty damn amazing and can also offer loads of variety to all your kinky shenanigans – they can be used by couples, can be used as an introduction to prostate stimulation for men, and can even be worn in public to up your voyeurism game.
The point here is simple – whether you own a vagina or a penis, butt plugs hold a special place in the world of sex toys.
Why a vibrating butt plug though? Is a regular one not enough?
Well, it depends. For me, a vibrating butt plug amps up the pleasure. Speaking as someone with a vagina, there is something special about that filled-up feeling with an addition of some intense buzzing. If you choose your plug right, you will literally feel the vibrations travel to your other erogenous zones – the most intense butt plugs can even be felt rippling through your damn nipples.
As such, I decided to tackle the task of making a review-list of some of my favorite vibrating butt plugs. The aim of this article is to help you figure out whether a vibrating butt plug is something that might tickle your fancy or not. And also to help you find a vibrating plug suited to your specific pleasure goals, budget, and experience-level.
Before we proceed to our list, you should know that some people prefer butt plugs without any sort of vibration. As such, every toy on this list also works well without using the vibration modes. Their designs are sculpted to fit the anus and stimulate that area in all the right ways.
Even without any sort of vibration.
How to know whether vibrator-plugs are for you or not? Simply test it. Play around with various patterns and speeds and see how your body responds. Generally speaking though – if you do enjoy things like penis vibrators, wand vibrators, rabbits, or high-end prostate stimulators…then, well, chances are that a vibrating butt plug will be a good choice for you.
For now, let’s get right down to business though.
Here are the 5 best vibrating butt plugs currently available:
• Best Overall – “Lovense Hush 2”
• Most Quiet Butt Plug – “We-Vibe Ditto+”
• Best Vibrating Anal Beads – “LELO Soraya Beads”
• Best Cheap Butt Plug – “Lovehoney Butt Tingler”
• Best Thrusting Butt Plug – “Svakom Jordan Thrusting Plug”
Best Overall – “Lovense Hush 2”
Key features: unlimited custom patterns, a wide range of pre-set speeds/patterns, limitless long-distance connectivity, an easy-to-use app, beginner-friendly shape, good for long-distance wear, possibility of syncing the plug to music, a favored pick among adult streamers
Lovense Hush 2 has been one of my favorite vibrating butt plugs for a good while now. There’s just so much to love here.
For starters, the shape is so damn, for a lack of a better word, streamlined. It slides in damn well…even if you have no prior experiences with butt toys.
Second, it comes in various sizes. There are four different sizes in total. Enough to cover the needs of various experience levels and tastes.
Lastly, there are the additional perks. It is a Lovense vibrator and Lovense is mainly known for its long-distance toys. Every toy in their line-up comes with the possibility of operating it from however long of a distance.
Say you have yourself a bit of a long-distance relationship going on – no problem, your partner can flick through the various speeds and patterns for you via the Lovense app. You can even go out for a public stroll with your Hush 2 in and leave an element of surprise to your business. Let your partner turn on the vibrations at random intervals and enjoy that new element of kinky.
The previously described app-capabilities have also made Hush 2 one of the most popular toys among adult streamers and cam girls.
You don’t need a partner to operate the toy for you – the same can be done by random strangers from the internet. While watching you get off with your Hush 2. It even has tip-activation and the possibility of syncing the action to music…so, yeah.
All in all, the most versatile vibrating plug out there. And, in my humble opinion, one of the best long-distance toys currently available.
Most Quiet Butt Plug – “We-Vibe Ditto+”
Key features: 10 vibration modes, beginner-friendly, includes both a remote and an app for long-distance play, one of the most silent plugs out there, fully waterproof
Look, when it comes to sex toys of all sorts, discretion tends to be among the top priorities for the average customer. We all like our vibrators and other treats to be as silent as possible. And understandably so – some of us have roommates…or even worse, parents. In situations like this, we want to keep our business silent.
Enter We-Vibe Ditto+, the vibrating butt plug that impresses just how quiet it is. Sure, you have a sort of low-level buzz going on, but nothing to the level that it would alert anyone else. Provided that you keep a good distance and close your damn doors.
Now, the quietness is far from being the only thing going for it. Similarly to Lovense Hush 2, We-Vibe Ditto+ can be operated from a distance with an app.
In addition to the app, you also have an old-school remote. The remote allows you to seamlessly and quickly go through the different patterns – particularly useful in the heat of the action where you simply don’t want to deal with managing the interface of the app.
The We-Vibe Ditto+ is also pretty beginner-friendly. It is small and feels almost cute to the touch with its elite silicone coating.
The number of patterns and speeds is not quite on the level of Hush 2. Here, you have 10 different modes to play with. Not on the level of the unlimited patterns of the Hush 2, but still plenty to play around with.
Want something small and beginner-friendly and don’t necessarily care for high-tech features of the Hush 2? Start here!
Best Vibrating Anal Beads – “LELO Soraya Beads”
Key features: great for starting anal training, offers a unique type of stimulation, great for couples as the handle is very convenient to use in the heat of the action, luxurious design
It does feel like cheating putting anal beads on a list of best vibrating butt plugs, but I simply couldn’t help it. Think of this toy as getting several sizes of butt plugs in one go.
Allow me to explain.
The Soraya Beads use a cascading design that I am yet to encounter in other similar toys. Apparently, LELO was inspired by the movements of violin players when they created this.
Sounds pretty damn extra if you ask me, but I’ll take it since we are dealing with a pretty damn innovative toy.
What makes the Soraya Beads tick is the flow from the smaller beads to the larger ones – the movement feels so damn natural that you won’t even notice “graduating” from one size to the next.
So, if you are planning on doing some anal training and plan on graduating to bigger toys in the future then the Soraya can be a great pick for getting comfortable with the sensations.
In addition to the body-friendly design, you also have 8 different vibration modes to play with. And again, the vibrations add a lot to the experience – it feels almost as if the vibes travel from one end of the toy to the other. They are deep, rumbly, and feel so damn good as they tickle you from the inside!
Simply put – easily the best set of anal beads in my rotation. Thus, I pretty much had no choice but to include this toy in here.
Best Cheap Butt Plug – “Lovehoney Butt Tingler”
Key features: very affordable, 100% waterproof, good range of patterns and speeds for the price, great for couple play
There has to be something out there that offers you the thrills of experimenting with vibrating butt play, but without spending some serious cash? Yes, there is!
Lovehoney Butt Tingler is a simple, vibrating butt plug from the “store brand” range of sex toys from Lovehoney, one of the most well-known online sex toy stores out there.
You should be able to get this one for under $35, which is pretty much pennies considering how much the prices for toys have soared in recent years.
So, what exactly can one expect to get at this price range?
Well, 3 different vibration speeds and 7 patterns offer plenty of variety to start with the anal adventure. In addition, the design of the toy is relatively beginner-friendly. You have your T-shape and flare base – both super important to keep your plug from getting stuck and you ending up in the ER.
Regarding material, everything is bueno too – it is made of silicone, one of the safest toy materials out there. Plus, it can handle water well – you can freely use this in the tub or in the shower.
Now, where does the price start to show then? Well, it is a battery-operated toy. And, at least for me, I NEVER keep enough batteries around and the batteries tend to run out at the worst time possible. A minor convenience, sure, but still worth noting.
That said, the Butt Tingler is still a great, great toy considering the price.
Get this if you are not quite sure on whether vibrating plugs are even something you want to engage with in the long-term. You won’t lose a lot in the money department, yet you’ll still get a toy that will deliver all the treats you can expect from a well-designed vibrating butt plug.
Best Thrusting Butt Plug – “Svakom Jordan Thrusting Plug”
Key features: great for learning anal sex, offers a unique thrusting motion, good for public wear, comes with both a remote and app-control, waterproof
This one is unique and a bit of an acquired taste. Also easily one of the vibrating butt plugs that I was most excited to try. Why? Well, the idea behind this plug is somewhat similar to a thrusting dildo, albeit on a smaller scale.
It slides in and sits inside you like a normal vibrating butt plug, but instead of the vibrating motion, the focus is on a thrusting rhythm. The result is pretty damn exciting. Not quite as intense and filling as regular anal sex, but the sensations are somewhat similar.
For some reason, this one hits particularly well in a public setting. There is something completely taboo and exciting about getting anally penetrated while among the crowds. And yes, it is silent enough for this.
Speaking of technicalities, the Svakom Jordan comes with an old-school remote AND an app. Feel free to choose which option works best for your particular purposes. The pattern selection is plentiful too – you have 5 different modes and a so-called “shock” setting that allows you to customize your thrusting experience.
Is this one beginner-friendly? I wouldn’t say so. Thrusting motion is not as easy to get into as the vibrating motion. So, if this is your first ever anal venture, then I would choose something different at first.
However, if you are already a seasoned enthusiast of all-things-anal then the Svakom Jordan is surely worth exploring. Simply because there’s pretty much nothing else out there similar to it.
Oh, and it is also amazing for getting used to/practicing anal stimulation. It could be something you could use for learning how to take a penis or a large dildo.
This was quite the journey, wasn’t it?
My ultimate aim with this article was to show you that anal play is not as intimidating or strange as it may seem. And, that vibrating butt plugs are one of the best entry-points to this world.
Whether you are going for solo play or want to explore vibrating butt plugs with a treasured partner, rest assured that the picks above will not fail in the quality department.
Oh, and on that note – anal play is not for everyone. Forget all about pressure – pressure will kill nearly every sexual endeavor out there…and anal play in particular is sensitive to pressure. So, if your first times don’t go quite as planned or you’ll find out that anal play is not for you at all…don’t fret! Nothing is wrong with you.
With that, time for me to head off to bed. Good luck and have fun!
