Featuring the best in anal butt plugs
Unlike the vagina, which is closed off by the cervix, the rectum leads to the sigmoid colon Objects that are inserted into the rectum can therefore potentially travel up into the bowel: the flared end on a butt plug exists to prevent this.
In addition, the lower bowel above the rectum is easily perforated For this reason, butt plugs tend to be shorter than dildos, and their marked size generally indicates the circumference of the device rather than the length. They must also be very smooth to avoid damaging the rectum or bowel. In order to get them into the rectum, they most commonly have a general profile of a round-ended cone which then narrows to a "waist" which locates itself at the anal sphincter, with the flared part outside the body, preventing the butt plug from slipping further into the body. The sphincter muscle will hold the plug in place by the waist, preventing the plug from slipping out unintentionally.
As with other activities involving anal penetration, such as anal sex, large amounts of sex lubricant and a slow gentle approach are often needed to insert or remove a butt plug
Butt plugs are often used covered by condoms for hygiene, and to allow for the easy disposal of any feces with which they may come into contact. Nevertheless, they should not be shared with other people, due to the risk of diseases, that can arise from the transfer of body fluids from one person to another. A butt plug is not necessarily confined to only anal stimulation. Butt plugs may be transferred and rotated to and from the rectum, vagina, and mouth. This is quite an unsanitary way to engage in sexual stimulation unless certain precautions are taken, such as cleaning the butt plug in an anti-bacterial fashion (e.g., with alcohol), the butt plug being covered by a condom (which is removed before any transferring takes place), and other various methods. If these measures are not taken, fecal matter may be passed to other parts of the body causing sickness, infections, and a malodorous scent. ...article courtesy of wikipedia
