r/Buttplug

Toy-specific communities tend to run small, but r/buttplug is a genuine exception. Launched in 2011, it's reached approximately 980,000 members as of April 2026, built around photos, GIFs, and videos of people using anal plugs - from discreet everyday-wear styles to more dramatic sizes. Content spans solo women, exhibitionism, public contexts, and fetish framing across an entirely amateur-dominant feed. Professional studio content appears rarely; this community runs on self-submitted material. Here's the thing: the size and style variety within the category creates natural sub-interest clusters. Jeweled princess plugs and subtle everyday-wear content attract an aesthetic-appreciation audience; extreme sizing content draws a different segment. Both coexist without much conflict in the same feed. Worth noting: the exhibitionism and public-wear angle is a recurring theme - content that suggests wearing a plug in a semi-public or daily-life context consistently outperforms pure bedroom content in terms of engagement. That dynamic is interesting because it shifts the community's character from purely sexual to something more about incorporation of kink into everyday life. The non-obvious insight is that the plug recommendation and discussion side of this community is more active than you'd expect - new buyers genuinely ask about sizing, brands, and maintenance in comments, and experienced members answer seriously. Medium moderation handles spam but doesn't separate the advice threads from the visual content. The limitation: no size or style filtering means browsing is fully mixed regardless of preference.
