I was going to ask whether there's any difference between these and a butt plug, but have just found that the answer to that question seems to be "yes". Web searching for images of medical rectal dilators mostly shows blunt-ended conical devices that are made of metal (presumably for effective sterilization), and lack the flared bulb and base of a butt plug. In many cases, there is an attached handle. Is this typical? Would it be possible for someone to take a photo of one of these and add it to the article? -- The Anome (talk) 11:27, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
