XtoysLoving Joy Jewelled Silicone Butt Plug (Small) Review
Editor's opinion
This is a beginner-oriented butt plug with a tapered tip, a soft silicone body and a jewelled base. The small size and 9cm widest circumference make it a genuinely approachable starting point. Just remember it needs water-based lubricant only, and the jewel setting adds a small cleaning consideration.
The Loving Joy Jewelled Silicone Butt Plug sets out to do something quite specific: give someone new to anal play a manageable, non-intimidating first plug, dressed up with a decorative gem in the base. It is a classic shape with a modern finish, and the small size is clearly pitched at first-timers rather than experienced users.
What a buyer should weigh here is whether the dimensions suit their experience, whether the silicone body fits with the lubricant they already own, and whether the jewelled base is a feature they want or simply extra work at the sink. None of these are dealbreakers, but they are worth thinking through before you buy.
The good and the bad
What works
- Tapered tip and 9cm circumference make it approachable for beginners
- Soft, non-porous silicone that is body-friendly and easy to keep hygienic
- No batteries or charging to worry about
- Flat jewelled base gives a secure seat and a clear point to hold
- Part of a range, so you can size up to medium or large later
What to be aware of
- Silicone body rules out silicone-based lubricant
- The jewel setting is an extra spot that needs careful cleaning
- At 9cm circumference it may feel modest to experienced users
- A decorative base is a matter of taste rather than function
Buy it if
People new to anal play who want a small, forgiving plug with a gentle taper, and anyone who likes the look of a jewelled base and is happy using water-based lubricant.
Skip it if
Experienced users looking for more fullness should consider the medium or large in this range, or a wider plug. If you prefer silicone lubricant, you would need to switch products or choose a glass or steel plug instead.
Design And Fit
The shape follows the well-established tapered plug profile: a narrow tip that eases insertion, widening to a fuller body before drawing in at the neck so it stays put once seated. This is the design that makes plugs approachable, and in the small size it is deliberately restrained.
At 7.4cm total length, 6.5cm insertable and 9cm circumference at the widest point, this is squarely a beginner's size. That is a strength if you are starting out, but experienced users should read those numbers honestly: 9cm around is a gentle amount of fullness, and if you already use larger toys you will likely want the medium or large in the range.
Material And Lubricant
The body is soft, smooth silicone, which is non-porous and warms through with body heat. Non-porous materials are the sensible choice for anal toys because they are far easier to keep hygienic than porous alternatives.
The important practical point is lubricant. Silicone toys and silicone lubricant do not mix, as the lube can gradually degrade the surface, so this plug should be paired with a water-based lubricant only. For anal use in particular, plenty of lubricant is not optional, so factor a good water-based lube into your basket.
Cleaning And Care
Cleaning is straightforward in principle: warm water with a toy cleaner or mild soap before and after use, then dry fully before storing somewhere cool and dry. Keeping it separate from other toys helps the silicone stay in good condition.
The one wrinkle is the jewel. The setting where the gem meets the base is exactly the kind of join that can trap residue, so it needs a little extra attention when you wash it. It is a small thing, but worth knowing if you would rather have a completely seamless, fuss-free plug.
How It Compares
Against a plain silicone plug, the appeal here is purely the decorative jewelled base, which some buyers love and others will find beside the point. Functionally the two are much the same.
Against glass or metal plugs, silicone is softer, more forgiving and warms up rather than staying cool, which many beginners prefer. The trade-off is that glass and steel are compatible with any lubricant and have no setting to clean around. Since this comes in three sizes, its real advantage is as a first step in a range you can grow into.
The bottom line
For someone new to anal play who wants a gentle, tasteful introduction, the small Loving Joy Jewelled Silicone Butt Plug is a sensible, well-judged choice. Bear in mind it needs water-based lubricant, the jewel setting wants careful cleaning, and experienced users will find the size modest and should look higher up the range.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a good plug for a complete beginner?
Yes. The tapered tip and modest 9cm circumference in the small size are designed to be approachable, which makes it a reasonable first plug. Go slowly and use plenty of water-based lubricant.
What lubricant should I use with it?
A water-based lubricant. Because the body is silicone, silicone-based lubricants can affect the surface over time, so they should be avoided.
Does it need batteries or charging?
No. This is a non-vibrating plug with no batteries or charging required, so there is nothing to keep topped up.
How do I clean around the jewelled base?
Wash with warm water and a toy cleaner or mild soap before and after use, paying particular attention to the join where the gem sits in the base, then dry it fully before storing.
What if the small size ends up feeling too small?
The plug is part of a range that also comes in medium and large, so you can size up if the small suits you well and you want more fullness later.
