XtoysToosh Gold Metal Butt Plug Medium Review: Weight And Sparkle
Editor's opinion
The Toosh Gold Metal Butt Plug is a medium, weighted aluminium alloy piece with a decorative jewelled base. It suits people drawn to a firm, substantial feel and the option of temperature play, but its rigidity and 3.4cm width mean it is not the gentlest starting point for a true first-timer.
Metal plugs occupy a distinct corner of the category. Where silicone offers softness and give, a solid aluminium alloy piece like this Toosh trades that for weight, firmness and a polished finish that catches the light. This one adds a clear faceted stone at the base for a bit of decoration.
At 7cm insertable and 3.4cm at its widest, it sits squarely in medium territory. The question for any buyer is less about the sparkle and more about whether you want the particular sensation solid metal delivers, and whether the size and rigidity match your experience.
The good and the bad
What works
- Weighted 86g aluminium alloy body gives a firm, substantial sense of fullness
- Non-porous surface wipes clean quickly and hygienically
- Works with water-, silicone- and oil-based lubricants, so no compatibility worries
- Holds warmth or cold well for temperature play
- Wide flared base keeps it secure and safe to remove
What to be aware of
- Rigid metal has no give, so it feels very different from softer plugs
- 3.4cm width and firmness make it a stretch for absolute beginners
- The jewelled base needs careful cleaning and storage to avoid damage
- Cold to the touch at first unless warmed beforehand
Buy it if
People who already know they enjoy a firm, weighted feel, and anyone curious about temperature play. The full lubricant compatibility also makes it a straightforward choice.
Skip it if
Complete newcomers to anal play, who would generally be better served by a narrower, softer silicone plug with more give before moving up to solid metal.
Design And Materials
The body is aluminium alloy with a gold-toned finish, topped by a clear faceted stone at the base. Metal is entirely non-porous, which is a genuine hygiene advantage, and it gives a firm, weighted feel that silicone simply cannot replicate.
That firmness cuts both ways. There is no flex or softness here, so the sensation is one of solid pressure rather than yielding fullness. If you already know you like that, it is a plus; if you are unsure, it is worth understanding before buying.
Shape And Fit
Total length is 8.2cm with 7cm insertable, and the width builds gradually from a pointed tip to 3.4cm at the fullest point. That taper means you ease towards the widest part rather than meeting it straight away, which helps.
Even so, 3.4cm on a rigid body is a real medium, not a token one. The 86g weight adds to the sense of presence. The flared base is essential and does its job of keeping the plug secure and easy to remove.
Temperature Play And Lubricant
Metal's standout trick is temperature. Warmed in warm water or cooled beforehand, it holds that temperature for a while, adding a sensation you cannot get from body-temperature silicone. It will feel cold on first contact if you skip this step.
Because it is metal rather than silicone, you can use any lubricant you like, including silicone-based, which is off-limits for silicone toys. Apply plenty to the tip and base before use.
Care And Cleaning
The smooth, non-porous surface wipes down quickly after use with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner. This is one of the easier materials to keep hygienic.
The main caution is the jewelled base. Clean around it carefully rather than scrubbing, and store the plug somewhere it will not knock against other items, as the finish and the stone can scratch.
How It Compares
Against a soft silicone plug of similar size, this Toosh feels markedly firmer and heavier, and it will not conform to you the way silicone does. That is the trade-off metal fans actively seek out.
Its advantages over silicone are real: full lubricant compatibility, effortless cleaning and genuine temperature play. Choose based on the sensation you want rather than the look alone.
The bottom line
If you want a firm, weighted plug with the bonus of temperature play and fuss-free cleaning, this Toosh is a sensible medium that delivers exactly that. Just go in knowing metal is unforgiving compared with silicone, and if you are brand new to anal play, start smaller and softer first.
Frequently asked questions
Is this suitable for beginners?
It is described as suitable for newcomers, but at 3.4cm wide and made of rigid metal it is a firmer, fuller experience than a soft silicone plug. A true first-timer would usually do better starting narrower and softer before moving to solid metal.
What lubricant should I use with it?
Because the body is metal rather than silicone, it is compatible with water-, silicone- and oil-based lubricants. Apply plenty to the tip and the base before use.
How does temperature play work with a metal plug?
Metal holds warmth or cold. You can warm it in warm water or cool it beforehand, and it will retain that temperature for a while. Without this step it will feel cold on first contact.
How do I clean and store it?
The non-porous surface wipes clean quickly with warm water and a toy cleaner. Take care around the jewelled base rather than scrubbing it, and store it somewhere it will not get scratched.
Is the flared base safe for anal use?
Yes, the wide flared base is what keeps the plug secure and prevents it going too far, and it makes removal easy. A flared or wide base is essential for any anal toy.
