I can’t find anything about this on the Internet, but I know I read it in an alternative remedies book years ago. I tried it myself once when I had an especially terrible hemorroid and it worked miracles. I sat in a hot bathtub and gently inserted the anal plug and left it in for 15 minutes or so. I’m trying to find a description of this online, that is not sexually oriented, and so far have had no luck. I would like something “clean” that I can send to a friend.
