XtoysSilexD Goldy Butt Plug Medium Review: A Dual-Density Step Up
Editor's opinion
The SilexD Goldy is a medium silicone plug built on SILEXPAN dual-density material, giving a soft surface over a firmer core, with a tapered tip and a suction base. It suits someone who already enjoys plugs and wants a fuller, more realistic feel. At 4 cm across it is not a beginner's first purchase.
The Goldy sits in the middle of SilexD's Fantasy Collection, between a small and a large, and its main pitch is realism. Rather than a uniformly firm plug, it uses a dual-density build: a soft outer silicone over a harder inner core, which is meant to feel more lifelike while still holding its shape.
The things worth weighing are straightforward. The 4 cm diameter puts it firmly in intermediate territory, the suction base promises hands-free wear, and the silicone body dictates how you lubricate and clean it. None of that is complicated, but it does shape who this plug is right for.
The good and the bad
What works
- Dual-density silicone gives a soft surface over a firm core for a more realistic feel
- Tapered tip eases insertion at this width
- Suction base allows hands-free, anchored wear on smooth surfaces
- Non-porous silicone is easy to clean and stands up to regular use
- Part of a three-size range, so you can step up or down
What to be aware of
- At 4 cm across, too wide to be a sensible first plug
- Silicone body rules out silicone lubricants
- Suction base needs a genuinely smooth, flat surface to grip
- Firm inner core means less flex than an all-soft plug
Buy it if
Someone who already enjoys wearing plugs and wants a step up in width with a fuller, more lifelike feel, plus the option of hands-free wear.
Skip it if
Complete beginners, who should start with the small in this range or a slimmer plug and build up gradually before attempting a 4 cm width.
Design And Feel
The defining feature is the SILEXPAN dual-density construction: a softer silicone exterior wrapped around a firmer inner core. In practice this means the plug yields a little at the surface while keeping its shape, which is the effect brands describe as lifelike. The firm core also means it holds a fuller profile rather than squashing flat.
The tapered tip is there to guide insertion, which matters more at this width than it would on a slim plug. The suction base is the other headline: pressed onto a smooth flat surface it anchors the plug for hands-free use. Worth noting that suction works best on tile, glass or a mirror, and far less well on textured or porous surfaces.
Size And Fit
At 9.3 cm long and 4 cm at its widest, the medium is squarely intermediate. That diameter is the number to focus on: 4 cm is a meaningful girth that assumes you already know how your body responds to a plug. The length is moderate, so the width is the deciding factor.
If you have used smaller plugs comfortably and want more, this is a logical next size. If you are new to this, the small in the same range is the better entry point, and there is a large to grow into later. Whatever your experience, unhurried insertion and a generous amount of a suitable lubricant make all the difference.
Material And Care
The body is non-porous, body-safe silicone, which is the sensible choice for anything worn internally. It cleans easily with warm water and a mild toy cleaner before and after use, and should be dried fully before it goes away.
One firm rule follows from the material: use a water-based lubricant only. Silicone lubricants can react with a silicone surface over time and degrade it, so keep to water-based and reapply as needed rather than reaching for a silicone formula.
How It Compares
Against a plain single-density silicone plug of similar size, the Goldy's selling point is the dual-density feel, offering a softer surface with a firm centre rather than one uniform firmness. Whether that realism is worth it comes down to personal preference.
The suction base sets it apart from plugs with a simple flared stopper base, adding the hands-free option. If you never intend to use it that way, a basic flared base does the same safety job. And if 4 cm feels ambitious, the small in this collection gives the same construction in a more approachable width.
The bottom line
The SilexD Goldy medium is a well-specified intermediate plug: dual-density silicone for a realistic feel, a tapered tip and a suction base for hands-free wear. If you are already comfortable with plugs and want a fuller step up, it is an easy recommendation, provided you stick to water-based lubricant and take insertion slowly. Newcomers should start with the small.
Frequently asked questions
Is this plug suitable for beginners?
Not really. At 4 cm in diameter it sits in intermediate territory and assumes some experience. Absolute beginners are better off with the small in the same range or a slimmer plug, then building up gradually.
What lubricant should I use with it?
A water-based lubricant. Because the plug is silicone, silicone-based lubricants can affect the surface over time, so keep to water-based and reapply generously as needed.
How well does the suction base actually work?
The suction base grips smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces such as tile, glass or a mirror. On textured, painted or porous surfaces it holds far less reliably, so choose your surface accordingly for hands-free use.
How do I clean and store it?
Wash with warm water and a mild toy cleaner before and after each use, then dry it fully before storing. The non-porous silicone makes this simple and stands up to regular use.
What does dual-density SILEXPAN mean here?
It means a softer silicone outer layer over a firmer inner core. The result is a surface that gives a little while the plug still holds its shape, which is intended to feel more lifelike than a uniformly firm plug.
