First times
Best first butt plug
Slim. Silicone. A flare you can see. Gel in the same cart.
Reviewed by Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer) · Prices checked · How we rank
The verdict
Before any toy, there's Sliquid Sassy. It's thick and cushiony, so it stays put where you need it most. Great for anal, great for long nights. For the toy itself, start with b-Vibe Snug Plug 1. It's weighted, so it sits snug and heavy and you feel it every time you move.

No. 2 · Doc Johnson
Mood Naughty 1 Trainer
Free shipping at SheVibe over $68. Tempted to treat yourself? Add a silky lube and it all ships free.

Three soft silicone trainers. Graduated. The other under-forty set if you wanted Doc Johnson packaging and a gentler first feel than Stout.

No. 3 · Tantus
Tantus Ryder
Free shipping at SheVibe over $68. Tempted to treat yourself? Add a silky lube and it all ships free.
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
Platinum silicone. Flared base. Formula. Firmer than a Snug. No weight pellets. The Tantus plug if you already trust their silicone.
Pros
- Platinum-cure silicone
Cons
- Firmer than b-Vibe. That's the silicone, not a defect
- Water-based lube
Why it ranks: People who already buy Tantus look up Ryder before they buy a weighted plug.
No. 4 · b-Vibe
b-Vibe Novice Plug
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
A small motor. Later if silent already felt like nothing. Still a flare.
Pros
- Body-safe silicone
- Rechargeable motor
Cons
- Beginner size. The motor will not save a bad angle
- If you wanted weight and no buzz, that's Snug 1
Why it ranks: First-plus-Novice. Category fit drops if this is night one.
No. 5 · Sliquid
Sliquid Sassy
Free shipping at SheVibe over $68. Tempted to treat yourself? Add a silky lube and it all ships free.
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
Gel. Same cart. A first plug without padding is how people quit.
Cons
- Too thick for some vaginal nights. That's why H2O exists
- Still water-based. It can dry if you wait too long
Why it ranks: First-plug carts skip the bottle. Don't.
