12 (Stupidly) Easy Homemade Butt Plug Ideas: Ultimate DIY Guide

Making a homemade butt plug is not the safest way to enhance your sex life. But if you’re willing to experiment, your best bet would be to use a silicone mold and shape one this way.

Butt plugs are one of the most popular sex toys and not without reason (see our Lovense Hush review if you want to know what the fuss is about).

They’re a great way to enhance your sexual experiences, and they’re fairly easy to use even for beginners.

But good ones can be fairly expensive, and there is also the issue with discreetness…

So you might be thinking about taking the DIY route and making one yourself, right?

Well, then before you try making a homemade butt plug, I recommend reading this post as I’ll cover everything there is you need to know about it!

Let’s jump in:

---

What Are The Benefits Of a Homemade Butt Plug?

Before we discuss how to make a butt plug, let me first tell you why I think you should do so in the first place. I’ve listed some benefits of this option below.

Availability

Homemade butt plugs can be pretty much always available at home. 

You simply have to get creative and figure out what material to use as long as they’re body-safe and easy to work with.

---

Affordability

As already mentioned, homemade butt plugs are usually made from materials that are easy to find. And cheap, too.

Additionally, many types of materials can be reused multiple times after they have been cleaned properly. This means that you don’t actually have to waste money on your toy.

---

Discrete

No one will suspect you of having it in your ass and you won’t have to hide it in the bedroom, or in your bag, or anywhere else.

Even if someone does spot it, you’ll still be able to pass it off as some kind of household object.

---

A Precursor

Most people who make homemade butt plugs do so for the purpose of anal training.

I’m sure you’ve heard of “anal gaping” before.

This is where the person is stretching their anus to allow a toy or penis to fit inside.

Homemade butt plugs are quite effective for this because you can easily find a material that’s comfortable enough to insert into your asshole while also being thick enough to stretch it.

---

Things To Consider Before Making Your Homemade Butt Plug

You should consider many things before getting started with your DIY butt plug. Let’s go over some of them now.

Hygiene

The biggest thing to keep in mind here is hygiene. With sex toys, nothing is more important than ensuring they’re clean and hygienic. 

You don’t want to put your health at risk by using a dirty toy.

Always consider how easy it is to clean or sterilize a particular household material. 

I would also avoid using any type of meat or animal product for your homemade butt plug. Meat has bacteria that can cause infections and can make you sick.

---

Size

Choosing the right size is key to enjoying your homemade butt plug.

While you might be tempted to start with something big and thick, you shouldn’t. Instead, start small and work your way up.

Larger toys tend to be uncomfortable and can hurt, while toys that are too small can’t properly stretch out your anus and tend to fall out.

Experiment and see what feels best for you. Eventually, you’ll be able to gauge what size works best for you.

---

Durability

When it comes to homemade butt plugs, the materials used will affect their durability. 

Some materials are more durable than others. 

Some are disposable and designed for single use, such as cucumbers and eggplants.

Meanwhile, other materials are more durable and will last a long time if you take proper care of them. These include wood, plastic, and glass molds.

You can choose a material depending on how often you plan to reuse it.

---

Texture

Certain textures feel really nice, and others just irritate the hell out of your anus.

Some people enjoy smooth surfaces, while others like bumpy ones. 

It all depends on personal preference.

---

Shape

DIY butt plugs can come in many shapes depending on the material you use. Some people prefer the classic, straight shape, while others like curved ones.

The perfect shape allows you to insert it comfortably, maneuver it easily, and hit your A-spot. 

Of course, you can always go for a ride with different materials to see which shape feels the best.

Dangers & Safety Precautions of Homemade Or Household Items

Now, let’s talk about safety first. 

Don’t Lose It!

In general, out of all the sex toys you can make at home, butt plugs are considered to be quite dangerous to DIY. 

This is mostly due to the very high possibility of your homemade butt plug getting lost inside your anus, and then you need to visit the ER…

And that’s what you want to avoid as it’s no fun having to explain how that piece of cucumber ended up inside your ass, right?

You really might be better off just buying a very cheap and simple butt plug off Lovehoney or Shevibe.

Both sites have good quality cheap silicone butt plugs, and you can even find some affordable glass or stainless steel options. 

Also, when you’re buying from those websites, you don’t have to worry about privacy – both websites offer very discreet shipping, so no one will know what you’re ordering!

If you’re still thinking about making your own butt plugs, then you have to make sure that it won’t get lost inside you. 

You either need to make a butt plug that has a flange or a crosspiece at the base that is sturdy enough and won’t break off while using. 

Also, it’s a good idea to use a condom when inserting a homemade butt plug into your anus to ensure it’s body-safe.

---

Use A Lot Of Lube!

Don’t forget to use plenty of lube when using your homemade butt plug. 

You have to make sure that your toy and your anus are well lubricated. Otherwise, you won’t be able to insert your homemade butt plug smoothly, and it will definitely hurt.

The safest choice is to use a water-based lubricant because, compared to other lubes, it’s the least likely to cause chemical reactions to your toy.

5 Ways On How To Make A Butt Plug At Home

OK, so now let’s talk about a few different ways you can get DIY a butt plug.

#1: Buy An Actual Butt Plug For $10-$25

The #1 option for you would be just to go and buy the best butt plug that was made specifically for that use.

It’s going to be way cheaper to buy one for $20 than ending up with an ER bill if you don’t have a wide enough base or a strong enough material, and your butt plug gets lost in your anus. 

Here are a few of the best options (& cheapest) that are great:

As you can see, there are plenty of great options for less than $25, and it’s so much safer this way!

---

#2: Buy A Sanitary Silicone & Make Your Own Shape

Probably the best option if you still want to take the DIY route, would be to make your butt plug from silicone. 

It’s not that hard to do, and the material is safe to use. Also, it’s nonporous, so your homemade butt plug is not going to smell bad. 

And if it still looks intimidating, I recommend getting this Clone A Willy kit that will make the process so much easier. 

Now, originally it’s intended for creating a silicone dildo, but you can create any shape you want with it, so it works great for a homemade butt plug. 

---

#3: If You Have Glass Blowing Skills…

Listen, if you’re somehow a talented glass blower, it might be useful to use your skills and create a glass butt plug for yourself. 

Glass butt plugs are one of the best ones on the market, and they’re pretty safe to use. 

Also, they don’t get the smell and are extremely easy to clean, so it’s a win-win situation!

Of course, before you go on and create something, make sure that it has a flat base, which won’t let the butt plug slip inside your anus during use. 

---

#4: Make Use Of Your Woodworking Skills

Or maybe you’re not a good glassblower, but are a skilled woodworker?

You can use your woodworking skills to create a butt plug as well!

It won’t be as great as silicone or glass one, but it’s still good enough. 

If you decide to make a homemade butt plug out of wood, make sure that you choose a strong wood like oak or pine. 

Also, polish the butt plug very well as you don’t want to get splinters in your anus while using it!

Use a finishing varnish to ensure that everything is sealed and if you still doubt whether it’s safe to insert a piece of wood up your ass, use a condom with it. 

---

#5: Molding Clay

Molding clay is soft and malleable, but it will harden once you put it in the oven. The result is a good-shaped butt plug that is pretty safe to use.

To make a mold from clay, you must mix your clay sand with water. If you want to get fancy, you can also add some food coloring to it.

Knead the mixture and form it into a ball with your hands.

Then, mold your clay to whatever size and shape you desire.

After that, place it in the oven for 30 minutes to harden.

Remove it from the oven and let it cool down.

Once it’s cooled down, you can start enjoying your homemade butt plug.

7 Homemade Butt Plug Ideas: Household Items As Butt Plugs

So, we’ve discussed some more advanced homemade butt plug options and now, let’s talk about some lazier options. 

I know that not everyone has the patience to play around with silicone or have talents for woodworking. 

The great news is that you don’t need any skills, and you can find a lot of things at home that you can use as a butt plug. 

---

#1: Try A Finger

The easiest and most straightforward way is to just simply use your finger. 

Seriously, it’s the safest and easiest option, and I think it’s way better than sticking some other things up your ass. 

You can try inserting one or multiple fingers and using different techniques to massage your anus for ultimate pleasure. 

---

#2: Or A Toothbrush

Now, if your fingers are not enough for you, then maybe using a toothbrush as a homemade butt plug will interest you. 

It won’t get lost very easily as it’s long, and there is the bristle part which should help you keep it stable enough. 

However, because it’s long and thin, it can tear inside your anus, so you have to be careful with that. 

If you’re feeling adventurous, I recommend using your electric toothbrush for some extra vibrations and pleasure. 

---

#3: Vegetable A Day Keeps A Doctor Away

Have some veggies lying around the house and no butt plug? 

Well then, try using carrots or cucumbers or even a banana with a condom as a butt plug. 

It might be a bit hard on your anus, so don’t forget to warm up and use lots of lube.

And, I don’t recommend making a stew out of those veggies you use for anal play after you’re done…

---

#4: Make One Out Of A Ginger Root

If you’re feeling extra naughty, you might want to try using ginger root to make your homemade butt plug. 

Yes, you read that right:

Ginger root can be used as a butt plug. 

There is even a term for that – frigging!

Now, historically it’s been used as a punishment, but now it’s a very popular sexual play when you insert a piece of ginger in the anus for that extra spicy experience. 

Simply get a root of ginger and carve it into a butt plug shape. Leave a wider base so that it won’t get lost so easily and enjoy the sensation!

---

#5: Candles Are For More Than Setting The Mood

Another idea is to use a candle with a condom. 

Get the candle of your desired shape and size. Then, put it inside very hot water so that the wax is easier to manipulate. 

Then, shape the candle a bit to remove shart corners and create a more pleasant shape. 

And then put on a condom before inserting it in your anus.

Easy!

---

#6: Umbrella Handle

Now, if you have an umbrella at home that’s broken, take its handle and turn it into a butt plug. 

It will need a bit of skill to remove it from the metal pole, and then you’ll need to find something to add that will serve as a handle, but it’s totally doable!

---

#7: Cream and Deodorant Containers

Cream or deodorant containers are typically made of plastic. They’re easy to clean and quite durable.
Their shape is almost similar to a butt plug, offering the same sensations you’d experience when using a real butt plug. Almost.
