Best first vibrating plug
b-Vibe Novice Plug
Small plug, big buzz
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
b-Vibe's small first vibrating plug. Soft, seamless silicone, 3.35 inches insertable and 1 inch across, with a motor in the tip, 6 vibration levels, 15 patterns and a wireless remote. Splash-proof.
Pros
- Body-safe silicone
- Rechargeable motor
Cons
- Small. If you already like bigger plugs, it won't feel like much
- Splash-proof, not waterproof. Don't take it in the bath
Why it ranks: The plug this page is about. Small and tapered for an easy first time, with plenty of buzz and a remote you can pass across the room. Too new for an owner rating, so it ranks on fit and demand.
No. 2 · b-Vibe
Best first weighted plug
b-Vibe Snug Plug 1
Quiet weight for less
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
Finger-sized. About 0.9 across. Around 55 grams. Same thin neck and T-base as the rest of the Snug line. The first weighted plug if 2 looks like homework.
Pros
- Body-safe silicone
Cons
- Small. You may outgrow it in a month
- Still a plug. Lube. Flared base. Don't skip either
Why it ranks: About the same size, a little slimmer, with 55 grams of weight and no motor. Less than half the price. The pick if fullness appeals more than buzz.
No. 3 · Doc Johnson
Best trainer set
Mood Naughty 1 Trainer
Three sizes to grow into
Free shipping at SheVibe over $68. Tempted to treat yourself? Add a silky lube and it all ships free.
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
Three soft silicone trainers. Graduated. The other under-forty set if you wanted Doc Johnson packaging and a gentler first feel than Stout.
Pros
- Flared bases
Cons
- Soft means less 'there' than a weighted plug
- Keep the flare outside. Always
Why it ranks: Three soft silicone plugs in graduated sizes, for under $40. No motor, but a gentle way to size up over a few weeks.
No. 4 · Tantus
Best firm silicone
Tantus Ryder
Firm silicone, no motor
Free shipping at SheVibe over $68. Tempted to treat yourself? Add a silky lube and it all ships free.
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
Tantus plug-leaning shape with a flared base. A first anal insertable if you want platinum and a neck, not a long shaft.
Pros
- Platinum-cure silicone
Cons
- Firmer than Vixen. Plan on that
- Water-based lube
Why it ranks: A small, firm platinum-cure silicone plug with a flared base. Under $35, and built to last for years.
No. 5 · We-Vibe
Best for prostate
We-Vibe Vector+
Built for the prostate
Ships discreetly from Intimatify
Prostate-shaped vibrating plug. Perineum arm. Remote. App. Adjustable. Hands-free if the base sits. A plug with a job, not a silent weight.
Pros
- Body-safe silicone
- Rechargeable
- Waterproof
Cons
- If you wanted a simple weighted plug, this is the wrong aisle
- The arm is a specific extra. Some people hate it
Why it ranks: A vibrating prostate massager with two motors, a remote and the We-Vibe app. Bigger than the Novice, and made for people with a prostate.
Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Most first plugs are quiet little weights. The Novice is just as small, about a finger's width, but it hides a motor in the tip and comes with a wireless remote. Wear it solo and play with the patterns, or pass the remote across the room and let someone else surprise you.
The price is what gives people pause. Here's who should buy it, who'll be just as happy with something cheaper, and four toys it's up against, each in stock at the price shown.
Before you buy
Buying guide
Novice or Snug Plug 1?
They're nearly the same size. Snug Plug 1 is a little slimmer and weighted, with no motor, and costs less than half as much. The Novice trades weight for vibration and a remote. Curious about buzz? Novice. Want quiet fullness? Snug 1.
Novice or a trainer set?
A trainer set gives you graduated sizes with no motor, so you can size up over weeks. The Novice is one small size, with vibration. If you already know you'll want bigger, start with a set. If you want buzz now, the Novice.

Mistakes to avoid
Your first time with it
Charge it, test the remote, then warm up with a finger and lots of water-based lube. Ease the tip in slowly, breathing out as you go, and let the base settle before you turn it on at the lowest setting. Keep the base outside your body, always.
