The most common mistake is choosing a size that is too large right from the start.

Many people assume that a larger plug will create a better or more intense experience. In practice, it usually creates discomfort, tension, and difficulty for the body to adapt, especially during the first few uses.

Anal plugs work best when the body can relax. This happens more easily with small, simple, and comfortable shapes. A plug that is too large forces the body to adapt too quickly.

Another common mistake is choosing very rigid or overly long shapes without understanding the difference between materials. Silicone is usually more comfortable to start with because it is more flexible and less aggressive on contact. Stainless steel creates a firmer and more intense sensation.

The shape also changes everything. Some plugs have smooth transitions between the tip and the body. Others increase in width too quickly. Even with the same diameter, the sensation can be completely different.

Lubricant makes more of a difference than size or vibration. Without enough lubrication, any plug can quickly become uncomfortable. More lubricant is almost never a problem. Less usually is.

It is also common to choose overly "technological" objects right from the start. Vibration, apps, and extra functions rarely solve the essentials. The most important things remain:

• size
• shape
• comfort
• gradual adaptation

In practice, simple plugs usually work better than exaggerated models.
