Penis Plugs
Penis plugs are smooth, tapered devices designed for gradual insertion into the urethra of the penis for a highly specialised form of internal stimulation known as urethral sounding. A niche but well-established category in male sexual exploration, penis plugs and urethral sounds produce a deeply internal, pressure-based sensation that is entirely distinct from any external stimulation. The Penis Plugs collection at Lovva covers hollow plugs, solid sounds, vibrating urethral devices, and glans rings with integrated plug components from Zeus Electrosex, Sinner Gear, and other specialist brands.
About Urethral Sounding
Urethral sounding is the practice of inserting a smooth rod or tube into the urethra for sexual stimulation. The urethra is lined with sensitive tissue and passes adjacent to the prostate gland in men, meaning that internal pressure from a urethral device can produce prostate-adjacent stimulation alongside the direct urethral sensation. The practice has a long history both in medical contexts and in male sexual exploration, and when performed correctly with purpose-designed, properly sterilised equipment, it is practiced safely by a significant number of people. It is an advanced practice that requires specific knowledge, the correct equipment, and a disciplined approach to hygiene without exception.
What Is in the Collection
Solid urethral sounds are smooth, tapered metal rods in graduated diameters used for progressive urethral stretching and stimulation. They are inserted slowly and gently, with the diameter chosen matched carefully to the user's current urethral diameter. Hollow penis plugs are tubular designs that allow urination or ejaculation while inserted, making them suitable for extended wear during arousal. Vibrating urethral plugs add a built-in vibration motor to the plug format, delivering vibration internally through the urethra during use. Glans rings with integrated plugs combine an external ring worn around the glans with a short internal plug component that enters the urethral opening, providing both the external cock ring sensation and mild internal stimulation simultaneously. Electro urethral sounds from Zeus Electrosex combine urethral sounding with controlled electrical stimulation for the most advanced practitioners in this category.

Safety and Choosing Penis Plugs
Urethral sounding is an advanced practice. Read this section fully before purchasing.
Use only purpose-designed urethral sounds and plugs. Never insert improvised objects into the urethra. Purpose-designed sounds are smooth, free of edges, and made from materials including surgical stainless steel and body-safe silicone that can be fully sterilised. Any rough edge, seam, or surface imperfection on an object inserted into the urethra can cause injury to the urethral lining.
Sterilise equipment before every use without exception. Surgical stainless steel sounds can be boiled or autoclaved. Silicone sounds can be boiled. Never use a urethral device without full sterilisation immediately before use. Introducing bacteria into the urethra causes urinary tract infections which can progress to kidney infections if untreated.
Use sterile lubricant only. Apply sterile water-based lubricant or sterile surgical lubricant to the sound before insertion. Standard intimate lubricants may contain ingredients that irritate urethral tissue. Use surgical or sterile lubricant formulations for urethral use wherever possible.
Never force insertion. The urethra has a natural diameter and resistance. Insert sounds slowly and gently without applying pressure past natural resistance. Begin with the largest diameter that inserts without force rather than starting with the smallest and progressing upward through sizes unnecessarily quickly.
Stop immediately if you experience any pain, burning, or discomfort during insertion. Remove the device and do not continue the session. If you experience pain, bleeding, or difficulty urinating after a session, seek medical attention.
The Lovva blog on how to explore advanced intimate play safely covers the communication and safety framework for practices including urethral sounding.
Caring for Penis Plugs
Sterilise all urethral devices immediately before every use by boiling for a minimum of five minutes or using an appropriate medical-grade sterilisation method for the material. Store in a clean, sealed container or sterile pouch between uses to prevent contamination. Inspect for any surface scratches, roughness, or damage before every use and discard any device that is not perfectly smooth.

Frequently asked questions
What is a penis plug and how is it used?
A penis plug is a smooth, tapered device designed for gradual insertion into the urethra of the penis for internal stimulation, a practice known as urethral sounding. Purpose-designed plugs are made from surgical stainless steel or body-safe silicone and must be fully sterilised before every use. The practice produces a deeply internal, pressure-based sensation adjacent to the prostate that differs entirely from external stimulation. It is an advanced practice that requires specific knowledge, correct equipment, and strict hygiene.
What is the difference between a solid urethral sound and a hollow penis plug?
A solid urethral sound is a smooth metal rod used for progressive urethral stimulation and gradual stretching to larger diameters. A hollow penis plug is a tubular device that allows urination or ejaculation while inserted, making it suitable for extended wear during arousal. Both are used for urethral stimulation but the hollow design serves a different functional purpose and suits users who want to wear the device for longer periods.
What lubricant should I use for urethral sounding?
Use sterile water-based lubricant or sterile surgical lubricant for urethral use. Standard intimate lubricants may contain ingredients that irritate urethral tissue. Sterile lubricant formulations specifically designed for medical or urethral use are the safest choice. Apply to the sound before insertion and never insert a urethral device without lubricant.
How do I sterilise a urethral sound before use?
Boil surgical stainless steel sounds for a minimum of five minutes immediately before use, or use an appropriate medical-grade sterilisation method. Silicone sounds can also be boiled. Store in a clean, sealed container or sterile pouch between uses to prevent contamination. Never use a urethral device without full sterilisation immediately before the session. Introducing bacteria into the urethra causes urinary tract infections which can progress to more serious conditions if untreated.
What are the signs that I should stop a urethral sounding session?
Stop immediately if you experience any pain, burning sensation, or discomfort during insertion. Remove the device gently and do not continue the session. Never force insertion past natural resistance. After a session, seek medical attention if you experience pain, bleeding, difficulty urinating, or any discharge in the hours or days following use. These symptoms indicate possible urethral injury or infection requiring medical assessment.
