XtoysToosh Black Silicone Butt Plug Medium Review: A Sensible Step Up
Editor's opinion
This is a sensible middle-of-the-range plug for someone who already knows the smaller sizes and wants a modest step up. The silicone body and jewelled base are practical choices, but the 3.4 cm width means it is not a first plug, and the material rules out silicone lubricant.
The Toosh Black Silicone Butt Plug in medium sits in the middle of a three-size range, and everything about its specification points to a plug meant for comfortable, unfussy wear rather than novelty. A tapered tip, a flared jewelled base and a soft silicone body are the standard ingredients of a well-behaved plug, and here they come in dimensions aimed at the person who has outgrown a beginner size.
The question worth weighing is whether the medium is the right size for you and whether silicone suits how you like to use and care for your toys. Those two points decide almost everything about whether this plug is a good buy.
The good and the bad
What works
- Silicone body that is body-safe and holds its shape while staying flexible
- Flared jewelled base keeps it secure and sits flush for discreet wear
- No batteries or charging to worry about
- Lightweight at 43g, which suits longer wear
- Part of a small, medium and large range, so sizing is easy to plan
What to be aware of
- At 3.4 cm wide it is not a first-time plug
- Silicone body means water-based lubricant only
- A jewelled base is a decorative fixing that needs care and inspection over time
Buy it if
Anyone comfortable with a small plug who wants a modest step up in width, and who likes the neat look of a jewelled base for discreet, everyday wear.
Skip it if
Complete beginners, who should start with the small in this range or something narrower, and anyone who prefers silicone lubricant, since a silicone toy needs a water-based one.
Shape And Size
The numbers tell the story: 8.2 cm total, 7 cm insertable and 3.4 cm at the widest point. That width is the figure to focus on. A 3.4 cm diameter is a genuine mid-size, comfortable for someone who already wears a smaller plug but a real ask for a newcomer. The tapered tip helps ease insertion, but taper only carries you so far before the full width arrives.
The 7 cm insertable length is modest and well judged for a plug, since a plug is about the width holding it in place rather than depth. If this is your first plug, the small in the same range is the more sensible starting point; if you find the medium settles in easily, the large is there to grow into.
Material And Finish
Silicone is the sensible choice for a plug: it is non-porous, easy to keep clean and warms to the body while keeping its shape. The soft, flexible feel described in the product copy is typical of the material, and the flared base is what keeps everything safely in place, which is the single most important feature on any plug.
The jewelled base is the decorative element. It sits flush and looks neat, but it is worth remembering that a gem set into the base is a fixing to keep an eye on. Inspect it now and again for any looseness, and clean around it carefully so nothing works its way loose over time.
Care And Use
Because the body is silicone, use a water-based lubricant. Silicone lubricant can degrade silicone toys, so keep the two apart; a generous amount of water-based lube and an unhurried approach is the right method with any plug, and more so as the width increases.
Cleaning is straightforward: warm water and a suitable toy cleaner before and after use, then allow it to dry fully before storing. Pay particular attention to the base and the setting of the jewel, where residue can gather.
How It Compares
Against a plain flanged silicone plug, the Toosh trades a little practicality for looks: the jewelled base is prettier but is one more thing to maintain. Against a metal or glass plug, the silicone version is lighter, softer and more forgiving, though it lacks the weight and temperature play some people prefer from those firmer materials.
Within its own range, the choice comes down to width. The medium is the middle path, and the honest advice is to be realistic about where you sit on that scale rather than assuming the middle size is automatically the right one.
The bottom line
If you already wear a small plug comfortably and want a modest step up with a tidy, discreet finish, the Toosh medium is a fair, uncomplicated choice. Just go in with water-based lube, patience and honest expectations about the 3.4 cm width, and treat the jewelled base as something to check on rather than take for granted.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a good plug for a complete beginner?
Not really. At 3.4 cm wide it is a mid-size plug best suited to someone already comfortable with a smaller one. Beginners should start with the small in this range or something narrower with a gradual taper.
What lubricant should I use with it?
Use a water-based lubricant. The plug is silicone, and silicone lubricant can damage silicone toys, so keep to water-based and apply it generously.
How do I clean and store it?
Wash it with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner before and after use, paying attention to the jewelled base where residue can collect. Let it dry fully before storing.
Is the jewelled base secure enough for wear?
The flared base is designed to sit flush and keep the plug in place. As with any gem-set base, check the setting periodically for any looseness and clean around it carefully to keep it secure over time.
Does it need batteries or charging?
No. It is a simple non-vibrating plug, so there is nothing to charge and no batteries to replace.
