Urethral Sounds & Penis Plugs

Urethral play is a form of sexual play that involves stimulating the urethra to provide pleasure. Also known as urethral sounding, it includes inserting a toy into the urethra, which arouses the surrounding sensitive nerves. If inserted properly and deeply, it can even stimulate the prostate, g-spot, and clitoris. Urethral play is used to experience heightened sexual satisfaction.

Always use a sterile lube to prevent infections during urethral play. We recommend using a water-based lube. Water-based lubes have a thin consistency and are easier to wash off, while silicone-based lubes have a thick consistency but are long-lasting. Depending on your preference, you can use either of the two lubes.

Tips for Choosing the Right Urethral Toy

When selecting a urethral sex toy, consider both material and size for a comfortable, safe experience:

• Material Matters: Silicone urethral sounding toys are wonderfully flexible, making them a great starting point for beginners as they gently conform to your body. Stainless steel urethral sounding toys, while they may seem intimidating, offer a smooth surface that can make insertion easier for users at any level—and they’re especially easy to keep sterile.
• Size Selection: While it might seem logical to start with the thinnest sound available, ultra-thin toys are actually best left to advanced users since they can be a bit pointier and risk causing tiny tears. For most beginners, a medium-sized urethral sex toy is the sweet spot. If you find the toy too thick, you can always step down a size, but avoid going ultra-narrow right away. As you become more comfortable, you can explore toys with larger girths or experiment with thinner sounds safely.
• Toy Type: For those who want deeper penetration, opt for a urethral sounding rod. If you’re looking to focus stimulation on the sensitive areas like the glans or frenulum, a penis plug might be your go-to. Sounding sets often contain a range of sizes so you can gradually explore and discover what feels best for you.

As always, move at your own pace, listen to your body, and invest in high-quality toys designed specifically for urethral play.

Using a urethral dilator sex toy requires patience, precision, and the right preparation. Always begin with clean, sterile equipment and a water-based sterile lubricant. After washing your hands and disinfecting your toy, apply lubricant generously to both the dilator and the urethral opening. Gently insert the dilator using gravity and slow, controlled breathing — never force it. Let the toy slide naturally as your body adjusts. Once inserted, you can explore slight in-and-out motions for stimulation, but avoid deep thrusting until you’ve gained more experience. Always clean your dilator after use and store it in a sterile environment.

Pro Tip: Beginners may want to start with a urethral dilator set that includes multiple sizes for safe progression.

To see if urethral play works for you, begin the process by sterilizing whatever urethral sounding toy you are using. Then, get in a comfortable position and apply lube near the urethral opening. You will have to spread the labia to get easier access to the urethra’s opening. Slowly insert the toy into the urethra; be careful not to force it inside. You can also add more lube if it is not gliding inside smoothly. After you are done, gently remove it and pee right away.

Safety Tips for Urethral Play

• Sterility is Key: Always use your toys in a clean, sterile environment. Disinfect all urethral sex toys thoroughly before and after each use to prevent infections like UTIs.
• Use Plenty of Sterile Lube: Generous application of sterile, (ideally water-based lube) helps minimize friction and reduces the risk of micro-tears.
• Let Gravity Do the Work: When inserting urethral sounding toys, don’t force or push. Hold the sound gently and allow its weight and the natural curves of your body to guide it in. Move slowly, and stop immediately if you feel pain—sounding should never hurt.
• Listen to Your Body: If you have a history of UTIs, an active STI outbreak, consult a healthcare professional before trying urethral play. If you experience unusual discomfort or have concerns, seek medical guidance.
• Aftercare: Always urinate after play to help flush out any bacteria and keep your urethra healthy.

Taking these precautions will help you explore urethral play safely and enjoyably.

To use a penis plug, start by choosing the correct size — snug enough to stay in place, but not so tight that it causes discomfort. Clean your hands and the plug thoroughly with warm water and a medical-grade cleaner. Apply sterile lubricant to the plug and gently insert it into the urethral opening, letting it glide in without pressure. Some plugs are hollow, allowing fluid passage for longer wear, while solid penis plugs create a more intense, full sensation. Listen to your body: mild pressure or warmth is normal, but if you feel sharp pain or burning, remove it immediately.

Pro Tip: Pair a penis plug with a cock ring or vibrating toy for deeper stimulation during solo or partner play.
