So… why a furry tail?
I wanted something playful. Cute, a little bold, and not too serious. A furry tail checks those boxes. It looks fun, it adds a bit of character, and honestly—it made me grin before I even touched it. That counts. If you want to see a bunch of tail shapes and color combos before picking one, Animalxing keeps an easy-to-browse gallery that’s perfect for sparking ideas.
If you want the full blow-by-blow of someone else diving into a similar toy, you can skim my expanded diary over on AnimalXing’s “I Tried a Furry Butt Plug” for even more context.
I also like gear that pulls double duty. It can be for a solo mood, a tease with a partner, or even silly pictures at home. No, not for public. Just the living room. You get it.

What I picked (two real-world style examples)
I tried two styles that many shops stock. I’ll call them the fox tail and the bunny tail.
-
The “fox tail” setup:
- Small silicone plug (insertable about 2.8 in; widest part about 1 in)
- Faux fur tail around 15 in; light, swishy
- Price range: about $25–$40
- Why this one: beginner-friendly size, gentle taper, soft base
-
The “bunny tail” setup:
- Stainless steel plug (insertable about 3.2 in; widest part about 1.2 in)
- Removable faux fur puff tail, about 10 in
- Price range: about $35–$60
- Why this one: a little weight, shiny look, easy to sanitize
Both came in simple boxes with a tiny care card. Nothing fancy. I like that. For a side-by-side with an extra-fluffy tail length, this honest real-life take on a furry tail butt plug highlights a few details I didn’t encounter.
First touch and fit
The silicone one felt warm fast. I washed it with mild soap, patted it dry, and gave the tail a quick shake to check for shedding. A few hairs came off, but not much. I used water-based lube (never silicone lube on silicone toys—learned that the hard way once), and took it slow. The small size helped. No rush, no stress. My body said, “Okay.” Good sign.
The steel one? Cold at first. I rinsed it under warm water, which helped a lot. It’s heavier. You know what? The weight surprised me—but in a good way. It felt secure. The puff tail is cute, but the plug has more “presence.” Not painful, just more there. Throwing on a set of matching furry handcuffs while you get acclimated can dial the playful vibe up even further.
How it felt over time
- With the silicone fox tail: I wore it about 30–45 minutes while tidying up. The tail swished and sometimes brushed my thigh. Silly, but fun. Under leggings, I could still feel the base, but it didn’t poke.
- With the steel bunny tail: I kept it to about 20–30 minutes. The weight meant I paid more attention to my posture… and to clenching when I laughed. Not bad—just different.
No sharp seams on either. I always check edges with a fingertip first. If you feel a rough spot, send it back.
Things that tripped me up
- Tail shedding: Faux fur will shed a bit. Comb it with a wide-tooth comb or even your fingers. Do it gently or you’ll pull more fibers out.
- Storage: Don’t mash the tail in a drawer. It’ll kink and look sad. Hang it or lay it flat.
- Base size: Make sure the base is wide enough. A flared base is a must. No exceptions.
Care and cleaning (keep it simple)
- Silicone plug: Warm water + mild soap or a toy cleaner. Air dry. No silicone lube on silicone toys.
- Steel plug: Wash the same way; steel can handle more, and it’s easy to sanitize. Dry fully so no water sits at the tail joint. If you want a step-by-step refresher, this guide spells out every detail of cleaning a metal butt plug.
- Faux fur tail: Spot clean only. A damp cloth with a tiny bit of gentle soap on the fur. Don’t soak. Let it air dry; fluff with fingers after. For a deeper dive into picking the right tail and keeping it fluffy, Pet Play 101 has you covered.
- Storage: A cloth bag for the plug. Tail goes flat or hung, not squished.
What I loved
- Cute factor. It’s playful and makes the mood light.
- Beginner size options. That 1-inch max width felt friendly.
- Steel warms or cools for extra sensation. You can run it under warm water for comfort.
- Removable tails are handy. Cleaning is easier, and you can swap styles.
What bugged me
- Fur sheds a little. Not a dealbreaker, but yeah, it happens.
- Steel weight can tire you if you’re new. Start short, then add time.
- Cheap glue points. If the tail wobbles more than a tiny bit, return it.
Safety stuff I stick to
- Go slow. Use water-based lube with silicone plugs.
- Check for tug points. The tail should be secure and the base flared.
- Don’t sleep with it in. Don’t wear it out and about. Keep it private.
- If anything feels sharp, off, or painful, stop.

Who will like it?
- First-timers who want cute, not intense. Start with silicone, small size.
- Cosplay folks who love the look. The fox tail swish is a vibe.
- People who enjoy a bit of weight. The steel plug offers that grounded feel.
Little buying tips that helped me
- Look for size details: insertable length and max width in inches.
- Check material: body-safe silicone or stainless steel for the plug.
- Read care notes about the tail: faux fur should be easy to spot clean.
- See if the tail detaches. It makes cleaning less fussy.
Final take
If you want playful and cozy, the small silicone fox tail hits the sweet spot. If you want a touch more oomph, go for the steel with a puff tail. Both made me smile. Both felt safe when I followed the basics—wash, lube, slow, and smart storage.
Not in the mood for tail play at all? My backup solo treat lately has been a furry fleshlight that surprised me—same soft fluff, totally different sensation.
One last thing: trust your comfort more than the look. Cute is great, but comfort keeps it fun. And fun is the point, right?
