: Always wash your toys with warm water and mild soap (or a dedicated toy cleaner) before and after every use to maintain hygiene.
: If you are a beginner, start with a small, tapered "trainer" plug. 2. Preparation and Hygiene
: While some pressure is normal, pain is a signal to stop . Remove the toy and try again with more lube or a smaller size.
: Once the tip is in, pause. When you feel ready, slowly push it further until the thickest part passes the sphincter.
: Slowly push the tip of the plug against the opening.
: Opt for non-porous materials like platinum-grade silicone, glass, or stainless steel. Avoid cheap rubber or plastic toys that have a strong chemical smell, as these can cause irritation or chemical burns.
: Engage in light foreplay or use a finger to help relax the sphincter muscles before attempting to insert the toy. 3. Insertion Technique
Silicone-based lube lasts longer but can degrade silicone toys.
