XtoysToosh Heart Shaped Gold Metal Butt Plug Review: Medium Jewelled Plug
Editor's opinion
This is a medium jewelled metal plug that trades on weight and a decorative base rather than any bells or whistles. It suits people who like the firm, cool feel of metal and want something simple to clean, but at 3.4 cm across the widest point it is not the most cautious first purchase.
Jewelled metal plugs occupy a particular corner of the market: they are as much about looks and the distinctive sensation of solid metal as they are about anything else. The Toosh Heart Shaped Gold sits squarely in that group, pairing a gold-tone aluminium alloy body with a heart-shaped base set with a red stone.
What a buyer should weigh here is straightforward. Metal is heavy, holds temperature and cleans easily, but it has no give at all. At 86g and 3.4 cm across, this is a considered choice rather than a gentle introduction, so the fit and the material matter more than the marketing.
The good and the bad
What works
- Non-porous aluminium alloy wipes clean quickly and easily
- Holds temperature well for warming or cooling before use
- Works with water-, silicone- and oil-based lubricants, unlike silicone toys
- Flared heart-shaped base keeps it secure and doubles as a decorative finish
- No batteries or charging to worry about
What to be aware of
- Metal has zero flex, so the 3.4 cm width is unforgiving for true beginners
- The 86g weight is enjoyable for some but noticeable and not to everyone's taste
- The jewelled setting is decorative and needs gentle handling to stay intact
- No vibration or texture; this is a purely static plug
Buy it if
People who already enjoy the firm, weighty feel of metal, want a fuss-free plug that takes any lubricant, and like the idea of temperature play or a decorative base.
Skip it if
Complete newcomers to anal play, who would be better served starting with a slimmer silicone plug with more give before working up to a rigid 3.4 cm metal one.
Design and materials
The body is aluminium alloy with a smooth, gold-tone finish, tapering from a pointed tip to a wide base that carries the heart-shaped jewelled setting. The non-porous surface is the practical headline: it cannot harbour bacteria the way porous materials can, and it wipes clean readily.
The trade-off with metal is rigidity. There is no give whatsoever, which is part of the appeal for those who like the sensation, but it means the 3.4 cm widest point is felt more directly than it would be with a softer material. The red stone in the base is decorative rather than structural, so it deserves careful handling.
Weight and temperature play
At 86g this is a plug with real heft, and that weight is central to its character. Some people find the sensation of a solid, weighted plug genuinely appealing; others find it more than they want. It is worth being honest with yourself about which camp you are likely in.
Because metal conducts and holds temperature, you can warm the plug in warm water or cool it beforehand. This is something silicone simply cannot do as effectively, and it is one of the clearest reasons to choose a metal plug over a softer one.
Sizing and who it suits
The numbers place this firmly in the medium range: 7 cm insertable and 3.4 cm across. In a flexible material that width would be fairly approachable, but in unyielding metal it asks more of the user.
The marketing frames it as suitable for newcomers and experienced users alike. That is fair up to a point, but a genuine first-timer would likely be more comfortable starting narrower and softer, then choosing this once they know 3.4 cm of rigid metal is within reach.
Care and lubricant
One of the real advantages of aluminium alloy is lubricant compatibility: water-, silicone- and oil-based products all work, so there is no need to change your usual routine. Silicone plugs, by contrast, rule out silicone lubricant, so this is a small but genuine convenience.
Cleaning is simple with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner. Dry it fully before storing, and treat the jewelled base gently to keep the setting secure over time.
The bottom line
The Toosh Heart Shaped Gold is a well-judged choice if you already appreciate metal plugs: it is easy to clean, takes any lubricant, and its weight and temperature-holding are the whole point. Just respect the 3.4 cm rigid width and generous lubrication, and if you are entirely new to plugs, build up to it rather than starting here.
Frequently asked questions
Is this plug suitable for beginners?
It sits in the medium range at 3.4 cm wide, and while the tapered tip helps, metal has no flex at all. A genuine first-timer would usually be more comfortable with a slimmer, softer silicone plug first, then moving to this once confident.
What lubricant can I use with it?
Aluminium alloy is compatible with water-, silicone- and oil-based lubricants, so you can use whatever you normally prefer. Use plenty and take your time, as metal offers no give of its own.
How do I use it for temperature play?
Metal holds temperature well, so you can warm the plug in warm water or cool it beforehand. Always check it against your skin first to make sure it is a comfortable temperature before use.
How do I clean and store it?
The smooth, non-porous surface wipes clean with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner. Dry it fully before storing, and handle the jewelled base gently so the red stone stays securely set.
Does the weight make a difference?
Yes. At 86g it has noticeable heft, which many people enjoy as part of the sensation of a metal plug. If you prefer a lighter, barely-there feel, a softer silicone plug would suit you better.
