What is a tapping plug? A standard vibrating plug buzzes evenly through its whole body. A tapping plug has specific zones that pulse outward against the body. On the Tunnel Tapper, there are two oval tapping zones, one on each side of the bulbous head. Their action makes the whole shape rumble. The result is a deeper, more thudding feel than a plain buzz, aimed at the sensitive areas the head rests against once it is inserted.
Gender X Tunnel Tapper: a plug that taps on both sides
The Tunnel Tapper is a remote-controlled plug from Gender X, made of silicone and ABS. Its bulbous head carries an oval tapping zone on each side. Together they send a rumbling vibration through the entire plug. Below the head, the shaft swells gently and then narrows, so the body can close around it and hold it in place.
It ends in a wide safety base that doubles as a handle, which makes it easy to position and remove. There are 10 functions, a wireless remote, USB charging and a waterproof build. That covers both solo and partnered use.
Best for: For anyone who likes anal play with deep, rumbly sensation and hands-free control. The wireless remote suits partner play, while the narrowed neck and the handle on the base make it practical and easy to manage for solo use as well.

How to use
Charge the plug by USB and wash it before first use. Test the remote and try the 10 functions in your hand. Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the head and shaft, and to yourself. Relax, then press the head in slowly, pausing whenever you need to. Continue until the narrow neck is inside and the wide base rests against the body. Use the remote to start on a low function and increase gradually. To remove it, switch it off, relax and pull gently on the handle. Wash it straight away.
Care
- Use plenty of water-based lubricant; avoid silicone-based formulas.
- Wash thoroughly with warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner after each use.
- Never boil it or put it in a dishwasher.
- Dry it fully before charging by USB; keep the remote dry.
- Store it in a clean, dry place apart from other silicone toys.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe for anal use?
Yes. It has a wide safety base, which also serves as a handle, so the plug cannot travel fully inside. Use lots of water-based lubricant and insert it slowly. Take your time.
What does the tapping feel like?
The two oval zones on the head pulse against the body, and the maker says this makes the whole plug rumble. Expect a deeper, thumping feel instead of a light surface buzz.
How is it controlled?
A wireless remote is included. It lets you or a partner move through the 10 functions while the plug is in place. The facts do not state the remote's range.
Is it suitable for beginners?
The facts give no measurements, and the head is described as bulbous. If you are new to anal play, warm up first, go slowly and stop if anything hurts. Start with the lowest function.
Can it get wet?
The plug is listed as waterproof, so it can be washed under running water. Dry it before charging. Do not assume the remote is waterproof. Wipe the remote with a dry cloth instead.
