XtoysPrecious Metals Silver Butt Plug Large Review: Weighty Metal
Editor's opinion
This is a firm, weighty metal plug with a decorative jewelled base, aimed at people who enjoy the substantial pressure metal provides and want an easy-clean, lube-friendly toy. The 4cm widest point and 160g weight make it a step up rather than an absolute beginner's choice, so consider your experience before buying.
Metal plugs occupy a distinct corner of the anal toy world. They trade the softness and give of silicone for firmness, heft and the ability to hold temperature, and that combination is exactly what their fans are after. The Precious Metals Silver plug in Large sets out to deliver that experience with a classic tear-drop shape and a jewelled base for a bit of sparkle.
The key things to weigh here are the dimensions and the material. At a 4cm widest point and 160g, this is a properly substantial plug, and aluminium alloy behaves very differently from the flexible toys many people start with. Neither is a flaw, but both shape who this suits.
The good and the bad
What works
- No batteries or charging, so nothing to run flat mid-session
- Non-porous surface rinses clean under hot water
- Holds temperature for warm or cool play
- Compatible with water, silicone and oil-based lubricants
- Jewelled flared base is decorative and helps it stay safely in place
What to be aware of
- 4cm widest point makes this a step up, not a first plug
- Rigid metal has no give, so patience and plenty of lube are essential
- 160g weight can feel demanding during longer wear
- Metal conducts temperature quickly, so check it is comfortable before use
Buy it if
People who already enjoy anal play and want the firm, filling pressure and heft that only a rigid metal plug provides, plus the option of temperature play.
Skip it if
Complete newcomers to anal play, who would be better served by a slim, flexible silicone plug with plenty of give before working up to a width like this.
Design And Materials
The plug follows a classic tear-drop profile: a tapered tip to ease entry, a fuller body of up to 4cm at its widest, and a narrower neck so it can sit comfortably in place. Total length is 9.5cm, and the flared, jewelled base is both the decorative feature and the safety feature, sitting flush against the body and preventing the plug from travelling too far.
The body is aluminium alloy, which is non-porous and rigid. That rigidity is the whole point of a metal plug, but it is worth being clear-eyed about: unlike silicone, it does not flex or forgive, so the 4cm width is felt in full. The 160g weight adds to the sensation many enthusiasts prize, though it also means the plug makes its presence known during wear.
How It Is Meant To Be Used
Insertion should be slow and generous with lubricant. The good news is that the aluminium alloy is compatible with water, silicone and oil-based lubes, so you are free to use whatever you prefer, and silicone lubricants in particular last well and suit a rigid toy.
Metal holds temperature, so you can warm the plug in warm water or cool it before use to add a gentle temperature element. Because metal conducts heat and cold quickly, always test it against your wrist first so it is a pleasant temperature rather than a shock. The wide base means it can be worn hands-free once comfortably in place.
Care And Cleaning
This is one area where metal shines. The smooth, non-porous surface rinses clean under hot water after each use, and there are no seams or textures to trap anything. Dry it thoroughly before storing.
A drawstring bag is included, which keeps the plug free of dust and offers a degree of discretion. If you are sharing it, clean thoroughly between users and use fresh lubricant each time to keep things hygienic.
How It Compares
Against a silicone plug of similar dimensions, this trades comfort and give for firmness, weight and temperature versatility. Silicone is more forgiving on insertion and warmer to the touch out of the drawer, so beginners often prefer it, while metal appeals to those who specifically want rigidity and heft.
Within the metal category, the jewelled base sets this apart aesthetically, and the all-lube compatibility is a genuine convenience. If the 4cm width feels ambitious, look for a smaller size in the same style to build up, rather than starting here.
The bottom line
If you already enjoy anal play and are drawn to the firm, weighty, temperature-responsive character of metal, this plug delivers exactly that with an attractive jewelled base and effortless cleaning. Just respect the 4cm width and the unforgiving nature of rigid metal: take it slowly, use plenty of lubricant, and choose a smaller size first if you are still working your way up.
Frequently asked questions
Is this butt plug suitable for beginners?
With a 4cm widest point, a 160g weight and a rigid metal body, it is better suited to those with some experience. Newcomers would be more comfortable starting with a slimmer, flexible silicone plug and working up to a width like this.
What lubricant should I use with it?
You can use water, silicone or oil-based lubricants, as aluminium alloy is compatible with all three. Silicone lube lasts particularly well with a rigid, non-porous toy. Use plenty and take your time on insertion.
How do I use it for temperature play?
Metal holds temperature well, so you can warm it in warm water or cool it before use. Because metal conducts heat and cold quickly, always test it against your wrist first to make sure it is a comfortable temperature rather than a shock.
How do I clean and store it?
The non-porous surface rinses clean under hot water after each use; dry it thoroughly before storing. A drawstring bag is included to keep it dust-free and discreet between sessions.
Does it need batteries or charging?
No. This is a non-powered plug, so there is nothing to charge or replace. Its appeal comes from the firm, weighty feel of the metal rather than any vibration.
