How We Picked The Products
Throughout my time at My Sex Toy Guide, I have been fortunate enough to test and review dozens (if not hundreds) of sex toys. And if this experience taught me anything, it’s how to create a testing process that allows me to differentiate the great review samples from the rest of the pack.
For this review, my testing process went as follows; I started by scouring my favorite adult retailers to find 15 of the best thrusting butt plugs on the market today.
After finding my top picks, I then distributed them among my diverse team of testers and had them rate each product and provide their honest feedback about the things they liked (and didn’t like so much) about each pick. Once they made their final rating, I defined key decision-making factors we could measure using well-defined quantitative metrics. These factors included the following:
- Design: Design-wise, there isn’t a ton of variety in this product niche. That being said, toys offering unique design features, such as a bulbous head, curved shaft for p-spot stimulation, and added cock rings, were given brownie points.
- Sensation: Let’s face it, if you’re in the market for a thrusting butt plug, chances are you’re looking for something that can pack a punch. Our test panel kept that in mind when rating each of our picks.
- Comfort: There’s a big difference between a good pounding and being painful, and we made sure not to include any toys that fell into the latter.
- Special features: Mouthwatering vibrations, plenty of thrusting speeds and vibration options, and remote controllability were all highly sought-after features of the toys we tested.
- Material: Since most machine-operated sex toys are made from silicone, we didn’t have the option to include metal or glass picks. But we did try to include toys made from only the silkiest of silicone (i.e. non-porous and body-safe materials). For curious kinksters that want to check glass butt plugs, you can see the glass plugs we tested in this article.
- Safety: When used correctly, all of the products included in this review can be used safely.
- Size: Though not the most beginner-friendly style of a sex toy, we made sure to include choices for deep anal canal newcomers as well as our more experienced readers.
- Price rating: Additional points were given to the review samples that were able to deliver on features without breaking the bank.
- Quality: Some of the features that scream luxury are soft-to-the-touch silicone, relatively quiet motors, ergonomically correct designs, and USB rechargeability.
During testing, we rated each of the toys based on the criteria listed above, starting from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). Each score was calculated using different weighted metrics depending on what we deemed most important. Half the total rating comes from Design (25%) and Sensation (25%). After that comes Quality (10%), Comfort (10%), Safety (10%), Special features (10%), Size (5%), and Price rating (5%).
1. Doc Johnson A-Play: Our Overall Test Winner!
Why we love Doc Johnson A-Play:
After testing 15 of the highest-rated thrusting butt plugs on the market today, the Doc Johnson A-Play blew away both our male and female testers, and its overall design, in addition to the sheer quality of this plug, earned it a top spot in this review.
After unboxing the Doc Johnson A-Play, the first thing that stood out was the soft and luxurious silicone covering the exterior; it just screams quality. It also has a nice weight to it, which not only emphasizes its notable luxury feel but also lets you know that this is a toy that isn’t going to be breaking down any time soon! Overall, it’s easy to tell that this is a well-made device.
Size-wise, I was impressed by how well the Doc Johnson A-Play sits on both fences, being both large and heavy enough to provide a noticeable fill but small enough to be used by relative beginners – given that they have lube to spare and enough time to work in this plug’s bulbous body. If having a huge-sized anal toy is your cup of tea, make sure to check our roundup of the biggest butt plugs.
The thrusting mechanism was forceful enough to provide the unmistakable penetrative sensation we’re all looking for in a plug like this but didn’t feel overbearing or intrusive. I found that regardless of my mood, I could find one out of the six thrusting speeds to match it.
As far as vibrations go, I would describe the vibes offered by this thrusting butt plug as low and rumbly, though they’re not particularly strong. That being said, something my panel members and I appreciated is that the vibrations carry, making them noticeable around the base, providing additional sensation to all of your extra-sensitive bits down under; I can definitely see myself using this in the future for the vibrations alone.
The cherry on top of this well-designed product is the simple remote that you can use to browse through its six thrusting and ten vibration modes, together or separately, without needing to embrace your inner contortionist to reach the buttons located on the toy itself.
Minor issues found during testing:
As far as feedback goes, there’s always a thing or two I’d change about every product if given the opportunity, and the same goes for the Doc Johnson A-Play.
For me, the biggest drawback of this toy is the noise of the thrusting! I found it to be noisy and slightly mechanical sounding, but this is pretty normal for moving butt plugs.
Since I live with my partner, I wasn’t worried about being a little loud, but if you’re living with roommates or kids, using this toy when they’re home could make for some awkward conversation.
Why Doc Johnson A-Play is the best thrusting butt plug:
Despite being a little on the noisy side, the Doc Johnson A-Play still managed to steal our hearts and was given an average rating of 95% by our panel members based on the following criteria.
- Sensation: Despite its vibes being on the soft side, I loved that the Doc Johnson A-Play delivered sensation in all my most sensitive spots (both in and around my butt). It is also just heavy enough for a proper fill and bulbous in all the right places.
- Special features: It might not seem like much, but for me, USB-rechargeable and remote control butt plugs really are the gold standard and are must-haves for toys achieving a top rating.
- Quality: When I use a sex toy, I want it to feel like a luxury product. Features like a luxurious silicone covering and the overall solidity of the Doc Johnson A-Play’s body were much better than the other products we tested.
Features:
- Material: Silicone
- Total Length: 6”
- Insertable Length: 5.5”
- Circumference: 4.75”
Pros:
- Completely waterproof
- Very well-built
- Covered with silky smooth, high-quality silicone
- The size provides a perfect filling sensation
- Thrusting action is strong but not overwhelming
- USB-rechargeable
- Enough vibe and thrusting options to keep you busy
- The T-shaped base is super comfortable
- Comes with a remote control
Cons:
- The thrusting mechanism is on the loud side
- Vibes aren’t super powerful
2. Booty Blaster 10 Function: Our Budget Pick!
Why we love Booty Blaster 10 Function:
If you’re shopping on a budget but don’t want to have to sacrifice remote controllability, we’ve got you covered! The Booty Blaster 10 Function is a simple and relatively inexpensive thrusting butt plug that comes equipped with everything you could ask for and more in a budget-friendly package.
Starting with the design, I loved the shape of Booty Blaster. The bulbous tip is shaped in such a way that inserting this toy, despite its relatively girthy-ness, is surprisingly easy! And the decision to make the tip of the Booty Blaster soft and squishy instead of hard plastic like the rest of the toy only adds to its ease of insertion.
Another minor detail that I (and everyone else who used this plug) greatly appreciated about this small thrusting butt plug is that, unlike many other thrusting dildos, the shaft flares out as you move closer to the base. This small detail created a fill that I couldn’t get enough of, even without inserting the toy’s full length.
My male test panel members also couldn’t stop raving about how easily they were able to use the Booty Blaster for prostate stimulation Even those who generally struggle with positioning a toy to hit their sweet spot said that immediately and without inserting the Booty Blaster fully (this baby can be a challenge for tight sphincter muscles), they were able to access their prostate for a hands-free orgasm.
This baby is also completely waterproof and comes with a remote control that you can use to cycle through the three thrust speeds and seven vibration modes, though it’s corded instead of wireless to help cut down on costs. As to be expected with a budget-friendly toy, the Booty Blaster isn’t USB rechargeable, though I guarantee that you won’t mind stocking up on some AA batteries after you’ve given it a try.
Minor issues found during testing:
When purchasing budget-friendly toys, there’s only so much you can ask for! Of course, I would have loved to have seen USB rechargeability and a wireless remote control included in the Booty Blaster’s features. Still, both would also vastly increase the price and aren’t completely necessary, so it’s no surprise they’re not included.
That being said, due to the side of the battery holder, you’re not able to use rechargeable batteries as they’re slightly bigger than regular single-use ones, so don’t be afraid to stock up on AAs in advance! It’s also worth mentioning that both the motors responsible for vibrations and thrusting are a little loud, so if you’re looking for inconspicuous, this isn’t the toy for you.
Why Booty Blaster 10 Function is our budget pick:
If you’re looking for an affordable thrusting anal dildo I guarantee that you won’t be able to find a toy of the same caliber in the Booty Blaster’s price range.
- Sensation: Using the Booty Blaster with a vibrator on my clit gave me a 12/10 orgasm, and my male panel members absolutely loved how easily they could use this toy for P-spot stimulation.
- Design: Despite being relatively inexpensive, I was impressed by how many thoughtful details were included in the Booty Blaster’s design, including the corded remote, girthy body, and bulbous but soft tip.
- Price rating: The price of the Booty Blaster ($49.99) was a big part of what landed this baby its high score of 94%, handily beating the other models we reviewed.
Features:
- Material: Hard plastic
- Total Length: 6.5”
- Insertable Length: 5.5”
- Circumference: 4.5”
Pros:
- Completely waterproof (hello, shower play!)
- It has a corded remote control
- The girthy shape is incredibly filling
- Works wonderfully as a prostate massager
- Very budget-friendly
- The tip is squishy and makes insertion more comfortable
- Has a suction cup flared base for hands-free play
Cons:
- The vibration and thrusting motors are a little loud
- Not USB rechargeable
- The remote control isn’t wireless
3. Playboy Pleasure Trust: Our Runner-Up!
Why we love Playboy Pleasure Trust:
If features like USB rechargeability and a wireless remote are important to you – and if you’re willing to shell out a few extra dollars on your thrusting butt plug, then the Playboy Pleasure Trust will be right up your alley.
As far as beginner-friendly thrusting butt plugs go, the Playboy Pleasure Trust is one of the better options, as it has noticeably less girth than the previous plugs in this review; while still maintaining a bulbous enough design to provide the filling we all crave between our butt cheeks.
The Playboy Pleasure Trust’s T-shaped base was also extremely comfortable, not causing any chafing while I used it. I love a t-shaped base since it removes any doubt you might have about the toy getting sucked into your bum when you orgasm.
Since Shevibe advertises Playboy Pleasure Trust as being versatile enough for both ass and vaginal play, I decided to test that for myself, and I can confidently say that they were right! After a super thorough cleanse, I used both the vibration and thrusting settings for vaginal play, and though it won’t be stealing the spot of my thrusting dildo or clit vibrators any time soon, it definitely did its job!
With ten vibration patterns and ten thrusting settings to choose from, it was easy to find something I loved. Both the thrusting and vibe motors were also able to deliver pretty well on power; overall, I’d give the Playboy Pleasure Trust a 7/10 for thrusting power. With close to an hour of run time, even on the higher settings, I was always left feeling satisfied at the end of both my solo and partner sessions.
Minor issues found during testing:
Unfortunately, one of the main drawbacks of using any thrusting butt plug is how noisy they are in operation, and the same can be said for the Playboy Pleasure Trust.
Although the vibrations aren’t exceptionally noisy on their lower settings, they give off an unmistakable buzzing sound at higher speeds. The thrusting mechanism is also quite loud, regardless of the speed you use it, so this baby isn’t ideal for busy households or public play.
Why Playboy Pleasure Trust is the runner-up:
The Playboy Pleasure Trust lands somewhere in between budget-friendly and luxury – offering some opulent features while still being relatively affordable, which our panel members loved. They gave it an average rating of 92%.
- Special features: For a budget-friendly vibrating butt plug, I was very pleasantly surprised to find the Playboy Pleasure Trust loaded with so many different vibes and thrusting options. Of course, being rechargeable and remote-controlled also added to its allure.
- Comfort: Size-wise, I consider the Playboy Pleasure Trust one of the more comfortable options, especially for beginners, and I couldn’t get enough of the ergonomic T-shaped base.
- Price rating: Considering the number of features packed into this simple plug, it’s a pretty smoking deal at $69.
Features:
- Material: Silicone
- Total Length: 5.4”
- Insertable Length: 5”
- Circumference: 4.1”
Pros:
- Completely waterproof
- Relatively budget-friendly
- It comes with a remote control
- Tons of thrusting and vibration options to choose from
- It can be used as both a vaginal and anal vibrator
- Features a super comfortable T-shaped base
- Both the remote and plug are USB rechargeable
Cons:
- Both the vibration and thrusting motors are noisy
4. True Blue: Great For Prostate Stimulation!
Why we love True Blue Thrusting Prostate Vibrator:
Here to steal the title of “most beloved sex toy” from your prostate massager is the True Blue Thrusting Prostate Vibrator. Since I am not p-spot-endowed, I wasn’t able to test the prostate-stimulating power of True Blue, but this is what our male reviewers had to say.
Thrusting anal toys add a unique flavor to prostate play, as they’re able to stimulate the p-spot better than a vibrating butt plug or prostate massager, thanks to their precise come-hither type motion.
The experience isn’t to be confused with getting pegged but is nonetheless very pleasurable and convenient since there are no second parties or sex machines required. True Blue stands out as a toy that is guaranteed to stimulate your P-spot, and all of our prostate-endowed panel members had no problems doing exactly that. They appreciated the unique features the design team relegated to this prostate-specific thrusting butt plug, as it made it a master at delivering sensation just where they wanted it.
Some P-spot-specific features worked into the True Blue include a curved tip and an ideal body length, both of which accessing the prostate surprisingly easy, even for the men who sometimes find it tricky to track down. The decision to use a T-shaped base instead of a rounded one also prevents it from rotating and shifting away from your prostate during use, in addition to accommodating comfortable extended wear.
Another design feature of this thrusting butt plug that our testers loved is the inclusion of two powerful motors, one controlling the thrusting motion and another facilitating the vibrations in the ribbed perineum massager. This design makes it so that the vibrations are strongest on the T-shaped base and decrease in power as they move up the shaft.
The consensus among the reviewers is that the best way to use True Blue is on top of a towel placed in a cushy chair, as it aids the curve inward. No worries about putting yourself in a position that contracts your anal opening, as the motors weren’t deterred at all by the added pressure. A completely waterproof design makes True Blue compatible for fun in both the bath and the shower and aids in easy cleanup. When the fun is over, simply plug this bad boy in via the USB charger.
Minor issues found during testing:
One of the biggest qualms of my review team is that the True Blue doesn’t come equipped with a remote control. And though it’s easy to shift through the thrusting and vibration patterns using the single button, an awkward reacharound is never fun.
As is the case with most products on this list, True Blue is by no means whisper-quiet, making it more of a masturbate-at-home product.
Why True Blue Thrusting Prostate Vibrator is the best male thrusting butt plug:
The True Blue thrusting butt plug has some p-spot stimulating features that your regular prostate massager can’t contend with and was given a well-earned 96% rating by our male reviewers.
- Design: It’s not hard to tell that True Blue is a vibrating butt plug made just for men. It bends and curves in all the right places, is ribbed for maximum pleasure, and delivers sensation exactly where it’s needed.
- Price rating: Though not technically the most budget-friendly toy at $109.99, the True Blue delivers on value, bundling a ton of attractive features into a beautiful and easy-to-use package.
- Comfort: Size-wise, the True Blue is built perfectly for beginners and intermediate users and has girth in all the right places to provide a solid fill while still being small enough to facilitate easy insertion.
Features:
- Material: Silicone
- Total Length: 5.34”
- Insertable Length: 4.16”
- Circumference: 3.9”
Pros:
- Explicitly designed for prostate stimulation
- Small enough to be used by beginners
- Easy to control using the single button
- The T-shaped design is super comfortable and helps hold the toy in a perfect position
- USB rechargeable
- It contains two powerful motors for vibrations and thrusting
- Made from high-quality and super-soft silicone
Cons:
- Doesn’t have a remote control
- Louder than a regular vibrating plug
Other Good Alternatives
Evolved Backdoor Banger: If you have some experience in the world of thrusting butt plugs and are looking for a new flavor or are ready for a size up, the Evolved Backdoor Banger should satisfy your appetite. Aptly named, the Backdoor Banger delivers more of an intense rocking sensation via magnetic propulsion throughout the entire length instead of just the usual thrusting tip. In addition to its “banging,” this plug also offers seven vibration settings for you to choose from.
It is covered with super soft, high-quality silicone that not only feels great but also makes the toy completely waterproof. The body of the Backdoor Banger also features three bulbs towards the tip, which I found to offer a pretty amazing fill, though the tip is still tapered enough to be easily inserted. As is the case with all my favorite butt plugs, the Backdoor Banger also comes with a remote control, a slim neck that is also super flexible, and a relatively quiet motor, making it a good option for public play when compared to the other review samples.
Lux Active Throb Pulsating Butt Plug: Another pick that is powered by magnetic propulsion is the Lux Active Throb pulsating butt plug. This baby also delivers an in-and-out motion from base to tip with 7 different intensities and pulsating motions for you to choose from. The Lux Active is probably the most beginner-friendly butt plug included in this review, with a very manageable 3.9” circumference at its widest point.
But despite its beginner-friendly sizing, the Lux Active Throb packs a surprising punch, all while almost whispering quiet, meaning you can use it in a busy household or to spice up a night out with your significant other. The T-shaped base is not only super comfy but girthy enough that I never worried about this toy thrusting itself into my tush during use, which made enjoying it even easier.
b-Vibe Rimming Plug: If you’re seeking an anal toy that combines vibrating pleasure with sensational rimming experiences, look no further than the b-Vibe Rimming Plug. With its vibrating tip hitting all the right spots and the marvelous rimming sensations it provides, this remote-controlled anal toy is an absolute delight for rimming enthusiasts. For more information on using this remote-controlled butt plug, read the full review here.
Whether you’re exploring solo or with a partner, the b-Vibe Rimming Plug promises a fun and thrilling adventure. Its versatile features and body-safe silicone construction make it a fantastic addition to any collection. Whether you’re curious about rimming or looking to spice up public play, this butt plug is highly recommended for anyone eager to experience the mind-blowing pleasure of a vibrating butt plug.
Birdsexy Thrusting Butt Plug With Cock Ring. Our prostate-endowed readers looking for a budget-friendly pick are going to love the Birdsexy. This thrusting vibrating anal plug comes complete with two cock rings – one for your penis and one for your scrotum, a curved tip for maximum g-spot or p-spot stimulation (depending on how you choose to use this toy), and even a remote control that can be handed over to your significant other. Considering its very doable price of $21, this baby is honestly a steal!
The battery life was surprisingly stellar, lasting up to 40 minutes with a single charge. Since it’s USB rechargeable, you don’t have to worry about the Birdsexy running out of batteries. This thrusting prostate massager also comes equipped with a vibrating motor that doles out vibes, especially for the perineum, and is covered with body-safe and smooth-to-the-touch silicone that makes inserting and removing the Birdsexy easy as pie. More on cock ring butt plug right here.
What Is A Thrusting Butt Plug?
A thrusting butt plug is a style of anal toy featuring a mechanism that extends and contracts to create a thrusting action. The purpose of this toy is to imitate the sensation of penetrative anal play without the need for a cumbersome sex machine.
How To Use A Thrusting Butt Plug?
If you have experience with anal sex toys, upgrading to a thrusting butt plug should be a piece of cake. That being said, here is a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
- Start by giving your thrusting anal vibrator a thorough clean! This includes your toy as well as your tush (don’t be afraid to sneak a wet finger in there.)
- Once clean, both your toy and your bum are ready for lube. Since most thrusting butt plugs are made from silicone, you’ll want to stick to either water or oil-based lubricants.
- With the motor off, begin slowly inserting it until you fit the entire length of the body (or as much of it as you can) in your bum.
- Once fully inserted, turn your toy on, starting with a low setting. As you feel ready, you can increase the intensity.
Using anal toys is easy once you get the hang of them. If you’re new to anal play or are looking for a refresher on safe sex toy practices, be sure to check out our full guide. And if you want to check more great butt plugs for different uses, click here.
How To Clean A Thrusting Butt Plug?
Cleaning your toys is an essential part of safe toy use, and, luckily for you is quick and easy to do. The following cleaning procedure can be completed in less than 5 minutes and help prevent infections like BV and yeast infections. [1]
- Wet your plug with warm water and apply a gentle cleanser (hand soap is fine if you don’t have anything sex toy-specific.)
- Use your fingers to clean all the nooks and crannies, then rinse with warm water.
- Wipe it dry with a clean towel before storing it somewhere safe, in its own box or bag.
Check out our extensive cleaning guide for more cleaning tips and techniques.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What lube to use with thrusting butt plugs?
The majority of these machine-operated sex toys have a silicone exterior, making them unsuitable to be used with silicone-based lubricants. Instead, try an oil or water-based lube, as they won’t degrade the delicate finish.
How to store a thrusting butt plug?
Many sex toys come with a cloth bag that you can keep them in. If yours doesn’t, grab a cloth bag or box that you can use to store your thrusting butt plug away from your other toys.
How to insert a thrusting butt plug?
Start by lubricating the body of your plug and ensuring that your toy is powered down or in vibrations-only mode.
Then, gently press the tip of the toy against your anal opening, and, using a rocking motion, slowly insert the entire length. Once it’s inserted, turn on the motor to enjoy its full thrusting potential.
How to make a thrusting butt plug?
Due to the complexity of this style of sex toy, recreating a DIY version of it isn’t recommended (and unless you’re a mechanic probably won’t be possible!) That being said, if you’re in a pinch and are looking for stand-in materials for a static butt plug, you can find some safe options in this DIY butt plug guide.
How long can you keep a thrusting butt plug in?
Unlike wearable anal toys, thrusting butt plugs are considered one of the more high-impact anal toy options out there and, for that reason, aren’t recommended for hours of extended use. Most anal newbies can handle anywhere from 15-30 minutes of continuous use, while experienced anal enthusiasts might be able to last an hour. To learn more about safely using butt plugs for extended use, check out our extensive guide.
How far does the thrusting butt plug move?
How far each thrusting butt plug can extend varies depending on the toy. But generally, the extendable length of the plug body is between a quarter and half an inch.
