FAQ

What are Penis Plugs?

Penis plugs are a type of urethral insertion toy and a great choice for beginners. This is because they usually have a ring, bar or ball tip at the base which stops the plug from being inserted too far into the urethra (or accidentally losing it inside the urethra, which may require medical assistance to remove).

Penis plugs are usually made from stainless steel or silicone. They can also differ in texture, with some toys being completely smooth while others feature ribbing to stimulate the urethra even more.

Penis Plugs vs Sounds

Penis plugs and sounds are both designed specifically for urethral insertion, so you may be left struggling to choose between them. Here are some differences between the two:

Size

Penis plugs are usually short and thin. Sounds can vary in diameter but will usually always be longer than a penis plug.

Design

Penis plugs are usually straight, while sounds can be straight or feature a curve. Advanced sounds may feature a large curve, with other sounds only having a slight curve. Penis plugs and sounds can be completely smooth or textured with ribbing.

Materials

Penis plugs and sounds are both usually made from stainless steel or silicone.

Purpose

Penis plugs are great choices for beginners due to their smaller size. This allows you to experience what sounding looks like and become more comfortable with urethral play. Sounds are better suited for people who have experience with sounding. Urethral Sounds can come in varying sizes, making them better for urethral stretching and deeper exploration than penis plugs.

Are Penis Plugs Safe?

There are risks associated with sounding, but that doesn’t mean that using penis plugs is unsafe. Due to the usual design of penis plugs, they are the safest urethral toy to choose if you are concerned about your safety. 

Experiencing pain and the potential for bacterial infection and injury are some of the risks that come with sounding. Our article about the safety of sounding provides a detailed summary of possible risks and how to mitigate them.
