Why I bought it (and what I hoped for)
I’m Kayla, and yes, I’ve actually used a furry tail butt plug. I wanted something cute for a fox-style costume shoot. Also, I was curious. Would it be comfy? Would the tail look nice on camera? I didn’t need fancy. I needed safe, soft, and not too heavy.
Here’s the thing: I’ve used plain plugs for pelvic floor awareness and comfort. This tail version felt like the fun cousin. Silly? A little. But also playful. To spark ideas for different fur shades and patterns, I spent an evening scrolling the villager galleries on AnimalXing, which turned out to be surprisingly helpful inspiration. For an even deeper peek into what the broader community is playing with, check out my candid notes in this “Chat with Furries” hands-on review.
First look and feel
My first one had a small silicone plug and a long faux fur tail. The fur felt soft and fluffy, kind of like a costume collar. The plug was matte, smooth, and body-safe. The base was flared (that’s a safety must). The tail popped into a metal ring at the end, so I could remove it for cleaning. I liked that design right away.
I also tried a second one with a metal plug. It looked pretty but felt cold and heavy. Not bad—just different. Metal warms up with body heat, but it takes a few minutes.
How it wore at home: real examples that actually happened
-
The costume test
- I wore it with a simple fox outfit for a short home shoot. About 20 minutes on, take a break, then 15 more. Standing and walking were fine. Sitting on a hard chair? Awkward. I tucked the tail to the side so I didn’t sit on it. The tail looked great in photos, though. Big win.
-
The “errands around the house” test
- I did light chores for 10 minutes. Slow steps. No sudden moves. It stayed put and didn’t twist. Going up stairs was okay; squats were not fun. Lesson learned: save deeper bends for later or not at all.
-
The “cat thinks it’s a toy” moment
- My cat batted at the tail while I was lining up a mirror selfie. I laughed, then put the cat outside the room. Not a defect—just real life.
-
Weight check
- The silicone plug felt easy for short wear. The metal one looked pretty but got tiring faster. If you’re new, lighter is kinder.
You know what? I thought it would feel silly. It did. But silly can be lovely. It can also help you relax, which matters.
Cleaning and care (how I messed up once)
- First try, I got the fur wet. Bad move. The fur clumped and took forever to dry. It shed a bit after. If you’re looking for a detailed breakdown of washing methods, this thorough butt plug care guide is a solid reference.
- What works better:
- Remove the tail if it’s detachable.
- Wash the plug with warm water and mild, unscented soap (or a toy cleaner).
- Keep the fur dry; spot clean the tail with a damp cloth. Air dry.
- Use a soft brush to fluff the fur once dry.
- Store it in a fabric pouch so dust doesn’t stick. Fur is a lint magnet.
Safety note: use water-based lube with silicone plugs. Silicone lube can damage silicone toys. If you share toys, use a barrier like a condom and change it between partners. Keep wear time short, take breaks, and don’t sleep in it. For a deeper dive, see these fox-tail butt plug safety tips.
What I loved
- The tail looked cute on camera—full and soft.
- The silicone plug had a nice matte finish, so it didn’t feel slippery.
- Flared base felt safe and stable.
- Detachable tail made cleaning way easier.
- Light enough for short, playful wear.
What bugged me
- The fur shed a bit at first. Not bald spots, just stray hairs.
- Metal was pretty but cold at the start and heavy over time.
- Sitting on hard chairs was awkward; I had to shift the tail aside.
- Long tails can tangle and pick up dust. Be ready with a brush.
- Some cheaper plugs have seams you can feel. Check for a smooth finish.
Not every animal-themed toy needs a tail, though; if you’re curious about something geared more toward external play, I also tested out a very different critter-inspired toy and spilled the tea in my honest take on a furry Fleshlight.
Who it’s for (and who might skip it)
- Good for adults who want a cute, playful prop for photos, costumes, or short wear at home.
- If you’re brand-new to butt plugs, start small and light—silicone beats metal for that.
- If you’re exploring toys like this as part of a sensual dynamic with a generous partner—perhaps you’re dipping a toe into the sugar-dating scene—check out this breakdown of the sugar dating scene in Rochester for tips on setting boundaries, discussing expectations, and finding like-minded adults who appreciate playful accessories.
- If you struggle with long wear or pressure, keep sessions short and keep moving slow.
- If you hate cleaning fur, get a removable-tail style or a shorter, tighter pile.
Buying tips from my own trial and error
- Size: pick a small diameter if you’re new. You can go up later.
- Material: body-safe silicone is friendlier for beginners; metal looks luxe but weighs more.
- Tail: removable is best for cleaning. Check the attachment point; it should feel sturdy.
- Base: wide, flared base only. No shortcuts here.
- Length: long tails look dramatic but snag. Medium tails are easier to manage.
- Color: darker fur hides lint better than white.
- Budget: mid-range beats super cheap. Fewer seams, softer fur, better finish.
Curious why some cheaper faux furs feel scratchy while others come out cloud-soft? I learned that the secret usually lies in the finishing process—the final “polish” factories give the fibers so they glide instead of cling. For a fun, non-technical look at what a top-tier finishing process can do (they explain it with candy metaphors that totally clicked for me), peek at Just Sugar’s “Our Secret” page — their plain-English breakdown helps you see how small tweaks in ingredients and timing transform something ordinary into melt-in-your-mouth magic, and it reinforced why paying a few extra dollars for better materials really does translate into a softer, longer-lasting tail.
Final verdict
I had fun with it. It’s cute, safe when used right, and great for short, playful moments. I reach for the silicone one way more than the metal one. The play-by-play photo set plus every measurement lives in my full deep-dive here if you want to see the nitty-gritty. If you want a simple, cozy way to add a bit of whimsy—yes, whimsy—go for a small, detachable-tail design. Keep it clean, keep it short, and treat your body kindly.
If you try one, brush the fur first, test the fit at home, and have a soft place to sit. Little things matter more than you think.
