XtoysPrecious Metals Heart Shaped Butt Plug Review: Silver
Editor's opinion
This is a compact, weighty aluminium alloy plug with a decorative heart-shaped jewel at the base. It suits people who enjoy the cool, solid presence of metal and the option of temperature play, though the firm material and 70g heft make it more of a step-up than a first plug.
The Precious Metals Heart Shaped Butt Plug sets out to do two things at once: look like a piece of jewellery and feel like solid metal. The polished aluminium alloy body ends in a decorative heart-shaped jewel, so it is aimed squarely at people who care as much about how a plug looks as how it feels.
What matters when buying is understanding what the specification means in practice. At 7.5cm long with a 2.8cm widest point and 70g of weight, this is a compact plug with real heft. That combination shapes who it suits, so it is worth thinking through the material, the size and the care before you commit.
The good and the bad
What works
- Non-porous aluminium alloy works with water-, silicone- and oil-based lubricants
- Seamless polished surface with no textures for residue to hide in
- Genuine option for temperature play by warming or cooling before use
- Compact 7.5cm length with a decorative jewelled base
- Drawstring storage bag included to protect the jewel
What to be aware of
- Solid metal is firm and unforgiving, so it needs plenty of lubricant
- 70g weight gives a pronounced pull that not everyone finds comfortable
- The rigid material offers no give for those new to plugs
- Jewelled base is decorative and needs care to avoid damage
Buy it if
People who already enjoy plugs and want the cool, solid, grounded feel of metal, plus the visual appeal of a jewelled base. It also suits anyone curious about temperature play, since the alloy responds well to warming or cooling.
Skip it if
Complete beginners and anyone who prefers a soft, forgiving feel. If this is your first plug, a tapered silicone design with more flex will be more comfortable to start with.
Design and materials
The body is polished aluminium alloy, which is non-porous and completely smooth with no seams or textures. That is good news for hygiene and for glide, and it means the plug is compatible with every type of lubricant, including silicone, which is a genuine advantage over silicone toys where silicone lube is off the table.
The trade-off with metal is that it does not flex at all. Unlike silicone, it will not yield to your body, so the fit is entirely down to the shape and your own comfort with a firm object. The jewelled heart at the base is the decorative centrepiece and the reason for the storage bag, since it is the part most likely to be scratched or knocked.
Shape, size and weight
The teardrop profile tapers to a comfortable tip and swells to a 2.8cm widest point, which is a moderate girth rather than a demanding one. At 7.5cm total length this is a compact plug, so it is about presence rather than depth.
The 70g weight is the defining feature. In a rigid metal plug that heft creates a constant, grounded pull that fans of weighted plugs actively seek out. If you have not tried a heavy plug before, be aware this is a noticeable sensation, and combined with the firm material it makes generous lubrication essential.
Temperature play
Metal holds temperature far better than silicone or plastic, which is the main reason to choose an alloy plug. Warming it briefly in hand-hot water or cooling it under the tap before use changes the sensation entirely, and the smooth surface makes this easy to do.
A sensible word of caution: because metal conducts temperature so readily, always test it against your wrist first and avoid extremes. Hand-hot water and a brief chill are all you need.
Care, cleaning and comparison
Cleaning is one of the strongest points here. The non-porous, seamless surface wipes clean with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner, with nowhere for residue to gather. The included drawstring bag keeps the jewelled base protected between uses.
Compared with a silicone plug of similar size, this trades softness and flex for weight, temperature response and easy cleaning. Compared with other metal plugs, the compact length and decorative jewel make it more of a stylish, everyday option than a size-challenge piece.
The bottom line
If you already enjoy plugs and want the cool weight of metal plus a jewelled finish, this is a well-judged compact choice with excellent lube compatibility and easy cleaning. Newcomers and anyone who prefers a soft, flexible feel should start with tapered silicone instead and come to metal later.
Frequently asked questions
Is this plug suitable for beginners?
Not really. Solid aluminium alloy is firm with no give, and the 70g weight creates a noticeable pull. Beginners will find a tapered, flexible silicone plug more forgiving as a first purchase.
What lubricant can I use with it?
Because the plug is non-porous metal rather than silicone, it works with water-, silicone- and oil-based lubricants. Given the firm material, use plenty of whichever you prefer.
How do I use it for temperature play?
Warm it in hand-hot water or cool it briefly before use. Always test the temperature against your wrist first and avoid extremes, as metal conducts heat and cold quickly.
How do I clean and store it?
Wipe it with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner. The seamless surface has nowhere for residue to hide. Once dry, store it in the included drawstring bag to protect the jewelled base.
Is the flared base safe to use?
Yes. The broad, flared base is designed to sit flush and stay external, which keeps the plug securely in place during use.
