Penis plugs are solid insertions that go down your urethra—the hole in your cock. They're typically smooth, tapered rods made from metal or glass that slide inside and stay there during masturbation or sex. Some blokes use them for the intense sensation of fullness and pressure inside their dick. Others use them for urethral play as part of BDSM or power exchange. They don't vibrate or move—it's all about the feeling of something inside your shaft.

Why Choose Penis Plugs

  1. Intense Internal Sensation: Your urethra has nerve endings. A smooth plug pressing inside creates a sensation most men can't get any other way. It's concentrated, focused pleasure that doesn't require movement.
  2. Hands-Free Stimulation During Sex: Insert it before you start, then it stays there while you're inside her. You get the plug's pressure on your internal nerves plus her around your shaft. Two sensations at once, no hands involved.
  3. Control and Restriction: Some plugs come with locks or are designed to restrict fluid flow. This control aspect appeals to men into BDSM who want their partner deciding what happens to their cock.

Types of Penis Plugs

Solid Urethral Plugs

Simple rods without moving parts. They slide in smoothly and create steady pressure inside your urethra. Made from polished stainless steel or glass so they're easy to insert and clean. You feel the fullness throughout masturbation or sex. Most common type. Browse urethral toys.

Plugs with Handles or Rings

Same solid design but with a flared base or ring at the end. Makes insertion and removal easier—you've got something to grip. Also stops it going in too far. Most designs have the handle jutting out so you can see it during sex, or curved to sit against your body.

Locking Plugs

Designed with a lock mechanism or paired with a removable lock. Once inside, your partner keeps the key. It's control play—she decides when you can take it out. Usually stainless steel for durability. Requires trust and clear communication about removal if needed.

Graduated Plugs

Thickness increases from tip to base. You start with a thinner insertion and gradually work your way down as your urethra relaxes. Designed for blokes getting into urethral play for the first time. Lets you build up to wider sensations without jumping straight to maximum stretch.

Who Buys Penis Plugs

Men exploring urethral sensations: Your urethra has nerve endings most blokes never touch. A plug inside creates sensation you can't get from external stroking alone. It's intense, focused pleasure. Some men come hands-free from plug stimulation during sex. Others just enjoy the fullness during masturbation.

Men in power exchange relationships: Locking plugs let your partner control access to your cock. She decides when you can remove it. The restriction and control appeal to submissive men and dominant partners who want direct physical control over his body and his orgasms.

Choosing Penis Plugs

  • Start Smaller: Your urethra isn't used to being touched. A narrower plug (6-8mm) lets you adjust to the sensation. You can work up to thicker sizes once you're comfortable. Graduated plugs are made for exactly this.
  • Material Matters: Stainless steel is most durable and easiest to clean. Glass is smooth and temperature-responsive. Silicone is softer but less rigid. Steel and glass are best for beginners—they're sterile and won't harbour bacteria.
  • Tapered Insertion Tip: A plug that narrows to a point slides in more easily than one that's the same width throughout. Less force needed, less risk of urethral irritation. Look for a smooth taper.
  • Flared Base or Ring: Non-negotiable. A base wider than the shaft stops the plug going up inside your cock where you can't reach it. This is a safety feature. No ball-and-socket designs or smooth ends without stops.
  • Length for Your Body: Most plugs are 4-7 inches. Measure how deep your urethra is comfortable (usually 2-4 inches inside). A plug longer than that is just extra length jutting out. Shorter ones (4-5 inches) tend to suit most men.

Looking After Your Penis Plugs

Wash with warm water and antibacterial soap immediately after use. Dry completely before storing—moisture breeds bacteria inside your urethra. For metal and glass, you can boil them for 10 minutes to sterilise. Use water-based lubricant for insertion; oil-based lubes trap bacteria. Store in a clean, dry container. Never share plugs between partners without boiling first. Inspect regularly for cracks or chips, especially glass—damaged edges can tear your urethra.

Goes Well With

Cock Rings

A plug keeps you hard and sensitive inside. A cock ring around the base keeps you harder for longer and delays coming. Combined, you get maximum sensation without losing your erection. Browse cock rings to pair with your plug.
