6 Best Vibrating Butt Plugs [Video Demonstration]

Out of all the vibrating butt plugs we’ve tested over the years, the B-Vibe Rimming Plug remains one of our top recommendations for all genders. It’s easy to see why B-Vibe has earned a reputation in the anal toy space; they’ve been refining their designs for nearly two decades. Their decision to blend rimming-like rotation with steady, hands-free vibration paid off, delivering a sensation that felt both inventive and satisfying. At $149, the performance and build quality make it feel like a smart buy rather than a splurge.

How We Picked The Products

Using butt plugs, especially vibrating ones, is an activity that my partner and I turn to often to spice up our sex life. Therefore, we couldn’t wait to get our hands on the best vibrating butt plugs for testing.

Having so many great options to choose from meant our job wasn’t the easiest, but the following steps helped us narrow down our top picks.

1. Firstly, I handpicked 30 products for this review. My main guiding factor at this stage was the build quality. I didn’t want to recommend anything I wasn’t 100% sure would stand the test of time.
2. After that, I applied the fine-toothed comb to examine each design, functionality, and stand-out feature. Features like comfort, extended wearability, long battery life, and wow factors that helped a model stand out were ultimately prioritized.

Moving on, I defined several test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100:

• Design: In this review, you’ll find a variety of products, each fitted with features that allow it to offer unique sensations. Because of this, there was no one-size-fits-all, and I advised each reviewer to treat each sex toy differently, focusing on the design in relation to its specific role.
• Versatility: We love something that has multiple uses and can be seamlessly exchanged between partners (after washing, of course.) Toys that you can wear out of the house also receive bonus points.
• Size: In this review, you’ll find many vibrating plugs with multiple size options, and those that enjoy the sweet spot between beginner and advanced user-friendly. Making them available to anyone wanting to explore anal play.
• Ease of Use: My team and I were looking for minor details like easy-to-press, well-positioned buttons and apps that our grandparents could use.
• Build Quality: We include only toys crafted from body-safe, high-quality materials like silicone and metal. Overall, the build quality of our top 14 list is outstanding and will be evident from the moment you unbox your new butt plug.
• Recharge-Ability: To save both the environment (and you from an anti-climactic session), our top picks are mostly USB-rechargeable, with some remotes requiring AAAs.
• Extra Bells & Whistles: Certain features help a product stand out among the competition. Our reviewers appreciated thoughtful details like a waterproof build, travel lock, Treble and Bass technology, and smartphone apps.

During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Design (25%) and Stimulations (25%). After that come Settings (10%), Build Quality (10%), and Versatility (10%).

1. b-Vibe Rimming Plug: Our Overall Test Winner!

Why we love B-Vibe Rimming Plug

The designers of the B-Vibe Rimming Plug were obviously on a mission to bring a new sensation to anal play, and boy, did they deliver! From the moment you take it out of the box, you can’t help but notice how sturdy it feels in your hand, and it’s obvious that a lot of love was put into the creation of this wonderful anal toy.

“Many companies simply add a flared base to their regular vibrators without much thought to the design. And it’s not hard to tell! B-Vibe, however, specializes in anal pleasure,” our lead product tester, Sandra Larson, wrote in her test report. “And since anal is all they do, their products are exceptionally well-designed to hit all your sweet spots, regardless of gender,” Sandra added.

Our testers loved experimenting with the 9 vibration patterns and varying speeds, and adding the rimming beads into the mix was the cherry on top. The sensation isn’t to be confused with the sensation of an actual rim job, but we think it is pretty pleasurable nonetheless.

It takes up to two hours to charge the B-Vibe Rimming Plug via the magnetic charging port (our favorite kind of charger), and it lasted a whopping 4.5 hours on the lowest setting; well over the estimated battery life. The remote control was also intuitive, easy to use, and especially enjoyable to pass to my partner.

Minor issues found during testing

Our main concern with the B-Vibe Rimming Plug is that there’s no option to control the vibrations and rimming separately. The rimming sensation can sometimes get lost in the sauce when the vibrations are on high, making it hard to pinpoint the sensation that makes this sex toy so unique.

In most cases, easy-to-press buttons are a plus—but during testing, I accidentally hit the power button on the remote more than once when my fingers were slick. Each time it happened, the toy shut off completely, and I had to cycle through all the settings again to find the one I liked. It interrupted the flow and felt like a small design flaw in an otherwise solid control system.

It’s also worth mentioning that it’s splash-proof but not waterproof! Because of this, you cannot take it in the tub and should be careful not to submerge it when cleaning up. To be honest, not being able to fully submerge the rimming plug makes it a little difficult to clean.

Why the B-Vibe Rimming Plug is the best vibrating butt plug

For several reasons, the B-Vibe Rimming Plug was a top choice for all our testers. First and foremost, we love a well-built vibe that will stand the test of time (some on the team have now owned it for over 3 years, and it’s still going strong!). Minor details like a magnetic charging port also set it apart from the competition.

The B-Vibe Rimming Plug also received the highest overall rating in the stimulation category (95%). Our team found that the rotating beads delivered a sensation unlike any of the other vibrating plugs they reviewed. Despite it being on the larger side, everyone found that it was a perfect fit and eliminated any worrying about it sliding out.

Another honorable mention is that the charge time was less than the 2-hour recommendation and lasted for a whopping 4.5 hours of non-stop pleasure. Excellent engineering work, b-Vibe!

2. Lovense Hush 2: Best App-Controlled!

Why we love Lovense Hush 2

If we’re talking high-tech butt plugs, the Lovense Hush 2 is definitely at the top of that list. With this unique vibrator, the sky is the limit. Or, more accurately, your creativity is the limit.

Whether you want to program into the app your favorite speed and vibration combinations to remember for later, sync your vibe to rumble along to your favorite song, or even pair multiple Lovense toys to the same device (hello, threesomes!), the Hush 2 has got you covered.

Our reviewers also loved that you can choose between 4 sizes, ranging from XS for anal newbies to L for more experienced users. That is something that not many other companies are offering, and you typically just get a one-size-fits-all product.

“I bought the extra small model because smaller butt plugs are more comfortable, and the size ended up being just perfect,” says Rachel Sommer. “But if you’re a size queen, the large model definitely won’t disappoint!” She added.

If you decide to go for the largest size, you’ll also be blessed with an incredible 11-hour battery life! As well as a super easy-to-use magnetic charger for when the fun is finally over.

Finally, because this sex toy is controlled via Bluetooth instead of a standard remote control, it can be accessed from across the world. I used the smartphone app many times (screenshots below), both manually and remotely, and I never had connection problems.

The Bluetooth connectivity also worked well throughout the testing. If you’re in a long-distance relationship, this toy would be the perfect addition to your love life.

Minor issues found during testing

A wifi connection is required to enjoy all the amazing features that this sex toy has to offer. Although you can use the button to cycle through the three intensity levels and the four patterns, all features require a wifi connection.

Why Lovense Hush 2 is the top app-controlled vibrating butt plug

Choosing the Lovense Hush 2 as their favorite wireless vibrating butt plug was a no-brainer for our testers. A laundry list of features makes Hush 2 ideal for a steamy night out with your partner (or yourself), but we’ll just name a few of our favorites:

1. First and foremost, an app-controlled toy will always trump a remote since it’s significantly more inconspicuous and won’t give you away in public. The battery life of the Hush 2, especially the larger sizes, is also nicely suited for a long night of getting up to no good.
2. We also appreciated that the flared base on the Hush 2 (a must-have for anything you plan on putting in your bum) is thoughtfully contoured to be comfortable for long-term wear. It’s also super lightweight and has a shorter stem ideal for a snug fit, so you don’t have to worry about the Hush 2 slipping out. (You can find the best wearable butt plug models in this article.)

If you want to see what Lovense Hush 2 looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our extensive review of Lovense Hush 2 here.

• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Color: Black
• Mechanism: Internal vibrations
• Circumference: XS: 3.1”, S: 4.7”, M: 5.5”, L: 7”

• Totally waterproof (hello, solo bathtub sessions.)
• It can be used for long-distance play.

• Super lightweight.

Cons:

• A little on the expensive side ($79-$99).

3. Lelo Hugo 2: Best For Prostate Stimulation!

Why we love LELO Hugo 2:

From the moment we selected the LELO HUGO 2 for review, the team had a strong feeling it would deliver—and it did. This updated version improves on the original with a 20% more powerful motor and the option to control it using either a wireless remote or a mobile app. That flexibility made it more accessible for different play styles and helped it stand out for users who prefer intense, hands-free anal stimulation.

The design itself was one of the highlights. It stayed securely in place throughout testing and allowed for full mobility during use. “Once my husband inserted it, it stayed put while he moved around the house,” Sandra noted in her report. “He said wearing it during sex felt incredible, like the vibrations added a whole new layer of pleasure without needing to adjust anything mid-session.”

Note: According to the website, Hugo 2 was redesigned to fit more bodies, but the changes are elusive to the eye. They look pretty much identical.

Something else that stood out was the impressive dynamism that lets you choose between regulating your anal toy with a remote control or a dedicated mobile application. It was a bit confusing at first because you can use both on one toy. The remote controller doesn’t let you control the motors separately, and the mobile app offers more capabilities, so we recommend using the latter.

The team rated the sensations on HUGO 2 as powerful and rumbly (my favorite). “People like my partner who dislike buzzy vibrations will be delighted by the maintained rumbles from the lowest to the highest standards,” our tester Angela Kempf wrote in her test report. “A combination of a powerful motor and consistently thuddy vibration patterns makes for the perfect cocktail for intense orgasms.”

We also appreciated that HUGO 2 had two motors for the perineum and prostate. The rumbles felt more impactful on the prostate end, but even the one targeting the perineum lining was more robust than your average vibrator. The best part about it is that the mobile application lets you regulate the vibrations independently for ultimate customization.

Pro Tip: While LELO HUGO Remote ticks all the boxes, it’s incompatible with the LELO app. You must buy HUGO 2 to enjoy the intuitive application. Unlike the remote control, you can hand over control to your lover from miles away. In addition, you can customize the sensations better and save your favorite patterns for later use.

Everything about the product’s build quality was a ‘chef’s kiss’. It felt flexible in the hands and cozy inside my partner’s backroom. The dimensions might not be ideal for a beginner, but intermediate and experienced folks will enjoy the challenge. We recommend building up with smaller models if you’re new to the experience.

The product is made from luxe silicone material paired with more rugged ABS plastic. Most people will notice the mirrorlike shin, but the most essential feature is the squishy feel that makes it ideal for extended wear. These body-safe materials are also waterproof and easy to clean after use, making the anal toy ideal for different users.

Lastly, the versatile remote control makes it suitable for solo and partnered play. It’s perfect for people seeking more convenience because you don’t have to hunch over to reach the buttons. The waterproof model also comes with a cozy storage bag, making it easy to put it away after use. You can also get the HUGO 2, which has mobile app compatibility for more possibilities.

Note: Surprisingly, the butt plug was considerably quieter for the power (37 – 57 dB), and it’s the remote that was noisier. It vibrates along the sex toy, which makes it not very discreet. Luckily, you can turn off the vibrations by pressing and holding the middle button for a few seconds.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the remote control’s button orientation can be confusing, depending on how you hold it. Like everyone else, we had it upright, but the order of the buttons was plus, function, and then minus. This made it less intuitive as the side button increased the intensity while the bottom one reduced it, which is quite confusing if you ask me.

In addition, the elongated base design made it uncomfortable to sit on. However, you don’t have to worry much about this because it’s not designed for public play.

Why LELO Hugo 2 is great for prostate stimulation:

• Design: The redesigned slim neckline and bulbous head enhance retention and make it ideal for different body sizes. “Tim loved wearing the product during penetrative sex and even described it as the most stimulating fun he had in a while,” reads Sandra Larson’s report. “Its hands-free functionality and cozy finish make it ideal for solo and partnered sex.”
• Settings: The sensations on HUGO 2 were a highlight of the review. The vibrations were powerful (20% more potent) and rumbly. Unlike the usual buzz, the consistent and thuddy rumbles sank deeper into the nerve endings, making the sensations more impactful. In addition, the toy’s dual-motor design ensured even vibration distribution to the perineum and prostate. While the remote control doesn’t allow for separate motor control, you can always get the model that’s compatible with the LELO app if independent control is a deal breaker.
• Versatility: Something else that stood out about LELO HUGO 2 was its impressive dynamism. Besides the waterproof design that makes it perfect for aquatic fun, the model’s remote control makes it ideal for solo and partnered sex. In addition, its dual-motor build stimulates the wearer’s prostate and perineum.

4. Hot Octopuss PleX with flex: Most Customizable!

Why we love Hot Octopuss PleX

Are you not exactly sure what tickles your fancy? Then you should check out Hot Octopuss Flex, which our team rated as the most customizable product on this list!

The primary motivation is that this remote-controlled butt plug comes equipped with two motors that deliver completely different vibe sensations. The motor closest to the head delivers ‘Treble’ vibrations, best described as more intense and buzzy. Closer to the base, you’ll find a motor that delivers deep and rumbly ‘Bass’ vibrations.

“When I began my review, I was very excited about trying the innovative Treble and Bass Technology,” Sandra Larson told me. “In the end, I loved both, but the bass became my favorite,” Sandra added.

We also appreciated that both motors are positioned to give it a slight curvature, making it ideal for stimulating your prostate. The designers also decided to give Hugo an extra-flexible stem, granting it 90-degree bendability, making it even easier to reach all of the good feeling spots inside your booty (prostate or not). Bravo, Hot Octopuss!

The team also noted the well-designed remote control, which makes it more accessible to anyone with limited mobility. Plus, you can give the remote control to your lover and let them manage your sexual pleasures.

That being said, please note it’s a bigger toy and I would say it’s about medium size. Therefore, I believe it’s better for people who aren’t newbies but not size queens, either.

Minor issues found during testing

The deep rumbly bass vibrations were definitely my favorite, and I would have appreciated the option to pump up the bass while dialing down the treble. However, this wasn’t an option since you can’t operate them separately.

Using the remote to cycle through the treble and bass intensities was also lovely, but I found myself wishing that it controlled the vibration patterns too. Using this toy with my partner, I usually stuck to a single vibe setting to mitigate a possibly awkward setting change.

Since the remote isn’t waterproof, I had difficulty operating the flex in the tub. I was left to feel around for the buttons and accidentally turned the sex toy on and off more than once.

Why Hot Octopus PleX is the most customizable

If you can afford it, PleX with flex is perfect for those who like to customize the experience. The Bass and Treble function is unique to this toy and enables you to be in complete control of how you want the vibrations.

Unlike traditional vibrating plugs that offer a singular ‘type’ of buzzing and are stuck offering sensation to one particular part of your booty, the flexibility of the Hot Octopuss PleX allows you to play with sensations in different spots, with various intensities and plenty of patterns.

If you want to see what PleX with flex looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our extensive review of Hot Octopuss PleX with flex here.

• Material: Body-safe silicone and ABS plastic
• Length: 5.5”
• Color: Black

5. We-Vibe Vector: Best For Partner Play!

Why we love We-Vibe Vector

Ladies aren’t the only ones lucky enough to bring their toys into the bedroom! The We-Vibe Vector prostate massager is the ultimate for enhancing his pleasure during partner play, too.

“Finding something that stays in place should be a priority regarding toys you use for butt stuff,” Shane Davis commented. “The designers of the We-Vibe Vector ran with this idea, creating a snug-fitting prostate massager, so you won’t have to worry about it going anywhere. That’s something that should be celebrated!” Shane raved.

The P-spot massager features a super adjustable head you can angle to hit just the right spot, regardless of your position. We also appreciated that, unlike other prostate massagers, which only focus on the p-spot, the We-Vibe Vector has targeted sensations for your perineum too.

Something strange, though. The Vector wasn’t flexible when our testers tried it for the first time. But after playing with it and finding the joint, they found it to be very malleable and loved that it stays in whatever position you put it in. So I recommend keeping trying until you find what’s working for you.

The team rated the insertable length as perfect for beginners; overall, it’s not a huge size. If you’ve used a lot of prostate massagers, then you already know some toys take more foreplay than others to be truly comfortable. But we didn’t find that to be true with the Vector.

We also appreciated that the Vector comes with a remote and is also compatible with the We-Connect app, making it perfect for long-distance play. Other brands, take notes!

Minor issues found during testing

The weak spot in the design is the remote. The remote seems slightly mismatched and didn’t include many of the toy’s design elements.

Although we love the We-Connect app, the app wasn’t perfect. One tester felt it was slightly slow to respond and not very sensitive when using it. Connectivity was also an issue.

We also found Vector’s buttons hard to press while in use. Hence, changing the setting without the help of the remote or app usually resulted in the toy moving, which was frustrating when you had it positioned just right.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Vector won’t be a good fit for those who require a lot of power to get off. Its vibrations are on the buzzier side of the spectrum rather than rumbly, and if that’s important for you, you may need to buy another anal toy.

Why We-Vibe Vector is our favorite for partner play

Recommending the We-Vibe Vector for partner play was an easy choice. Of all the tested products, this stood out for providing the tightest fit for the widest variety of body types, thus receiving the highest score (93%) in this critical category. No more worrying about Vector slowly sliding out of your booty!

The vibrations are slightly less powerful than those of other products we’ve tested, so we believe it’s better suited as an accompaniment to other sexual activities. “Providing the perfect edge without stealing the show,” Shane Davis commented.

If you want to see what the We-Vibe Vector looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can find our extensive review of We-Vibe Vector here.

• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Length: 4”
• Color: Charcoal black or royal blue
• Mechanism: Vibrating prostate and perineum massager
• Circumference: 4.17”
• Weight: 92g / 3.25 ounces

Pros:

• Vector is completely waterproof with a splashproof remote.
• It comes equipped with a sample lube, pouch, and USB charger, everything you need.
• Size and shape are beginner-friendly
• Ideal for stimulating your prostate
• The flexible design makes it compatible with more body types.

Cons:

• Not the most budget-friendly ($139).
• The remote control requires batteries.
• App connectivity is hit or miss.

Other Good Alternatives

Some people consider anal beads essential for a complete butt play experience, and for those users, the B-Vibe Cinco consistently stands out. Among the models we tested, it offered the best mix of comfort and depth, setting a high bar in this category. The toy combines a firm PVC core with a soft silicone outer layer, giving it just the right amount of structure without feeling rigid. That blend made it easy to guide while remaining flexible enough to move with the body. It struck a balance that made it feel intentional and responsive without being intrusive.

Lovehoney Butt Tingler is our go-to pick for beginners and budget-conscious buyers, and for good reason. It’s a simple, approachable toy that can be used with or without the motor, offering flexibility for those still figuring out what they like. The slim shape and smooth finish made it easy to wear for longer sessions without discomfort. At just $24.99, it delivered more than we expected. The small vibrating plug includes 3 steady speeds and 7 patterned settings, giving users a surprising amount of control for a toy in this price range. It felt like a solid starting point without cutting corners on function.

We-Vibe Ditto+ earned the runner-up spot behind Hush 2 in our public play testing, and it’s a strong choice for beginners. Despite its small size, the vibrations were deep and satisfying, making it more powerful than expected. The plug stayed quiet throughout use, and the fully waterproof build gave it extra versatility. Our testers especially appreciated the option to control it with either the We-Vibe app or the included remote. That flexibility made it easy to adjust settings on the fly without interrupting the moment. In testing, this combination of quiet performance, strong vibration, and user-friendly controls made Ditto+ a standout.

Happy vibing!
