XtoysToosh Gold Metal Butt Plug Review: Small, Weighted, Jewelled
Editor's opinion
This is a small, weighted metal plug with a decorative clear stone in its base, sized gently enough for newcomers to anal play. The metal body works with any lubricant and takes to temperature play, though its firm, unyielding feel and non-adjustable weight won't suit everyone.
The Toosh Gold Metal Butt Plug sets out to be an approachable introduction to anal play that still has something to offer people who have done this before. It pairs a modest, tapered shape with the solid feel of aluminium alloy and finishes it off with a clear jewelled base for a bit of decoration.
What a buyer really needs to weigh here is the trade-off metal brings. It is easy to clean and takes temperature beautifully, but it is also rigid and has a fixed weight, which is a very different sensation to soft silicone. Understanding that difference is the key to knowing whether this plug is right for you.
The good and the bad
What works
- Small 2.8 cm width and tapered tip make it a sensible starter size
- Non-porous metal works with water-, silicone- and oil-based lubricants
- Aluminium alloy warms and cools for temperature play
- Smooth surface wipes clean quickly with no seams to trap residue
- Flared jewelled base keeps it secure and easy to retrieve
What to be aware of
- Rigid metal has no give, which feels firmer than silicone
- The 49g weight is fixed and may feel like too much or too little for some
- The set stone needs care around cleaning and storage
- Metal transmits cold quickly, so it needs warming before use
Buy it if
Anyone starting out with anal play who wants a manageable size, and existing users curious about the firm feel and temperature response of a metal plug.
Skip it if
Those who prefer a soft, flexible, body-warm feel should look at a silicone plug instead. Anyone wanting a larger or heavier plug will find this one deliberately modest.
Design And Materials
The plug is made from aluminium alloy with a smooth, gold-finished, non-porous surface and a clear stone set into the flared base. Non-porous is the practical point here: it wipes clean easily and doesn't harbour anything the way porous materials can.
At 49g it has a noticeable, reassuring heft for its size without being cumbersome. The metal is rigid, so unlike silicone it has no flex at all. That solid feel is part of the appeal for many people, but it is worth going in knowing this is a firm object rather than a forgiving one.
Shape, Fit And Lubricant
With 6.2 cm insertable and a 2.8 cm maximum width, this sits firmly in small-plug territory. The gradual taper from the pointed tip to the fuller body is what makes it manageable for beginners, and the wide flared base is essential rather than merely decorative: it is what keeps the plug safe to retrieve.
Because the body is metal rather than silicone, you have a real advantage on lubricant. It works happily with water-, silicone- or oil-based lubricants, so you can use whatever you already own. Metal offers little natural glide, so applying lubricant generously is not optional here.
Temperature Play
One of the genuine draws of a metal plug is how it holds temperature. Run it under warm or cool water, or hold it in your hands, and it retains that for a little while during use, adding a sensation you simply won't get from silicone.
The flip side is that metal takes on the temperature of wherever it has been stored. Left in a cool drawer it will feel distinctly cold to the touch, so warming it first is worth the moment it takes.
Cleaning And Care
The smooth, non-porous surface is straightforward to look after, wiping down with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner. There are no seams or textures to work around on the body itself.
The jewelled base is the one part to treat gently. A set stone is a point where water and cleaner can gather, and knocks in storage are worth avoiding, so a soft pouch or lined box is sensible rather than leaving it loose in a drawer.
The bottom line
The Toosh Gold Metal Butt Plug is a well-judged small plug for anyone who likes the idea of firm, weighted metal and temperature play, with a jewelled base that adds a decorative touch. Go in expecting the rigidity and coolness that metal brings, use plenty of lubricant, and it is an easy toy to own and keep clean; if you want softness and flex, choose silicone instead.
Frequently asked questions
Is this plug suitable for complete beginners?
Its modest 2.8 cm width and tapered tip make it a reasonable first plug. The main adjustment for a newcomer is that metal is rigid and offers no give, so go slowly and use plenty of lubricant.
What lubricant can I use with it?
Because the body is aluminium alloy rather than silicone, it works with water-, silicone- and oil-based lubricants. Metal glides very little on its own, so apply lubricant generously.
How do I use it for temperature play?
Metal holds temperature well. Warm it in your hands or under warm water, or cool it under cold running water, before use. Always check it feels comfortable against the skin first.
How do I clean and store it?
Wash the smooth surface with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner. Take extra care around the set stone in the base, and store it in a soft pouch or lined box to protect the jewel.
Will it stay in place once inserted?
The wide flared base is designed to sit against the body and hold the plug securely, and it is also what makes retrieval safe. Never use an anal toy without a flared base.
