XtoysToosh Metal Butt Plug Set of 3 Review: Silver Jewelled Trio
Editor's opinion
This is a set of three polished metal plugs in small, medium and large, aimed at anyone who wants a clear progression path in a single purchase. The non-porous aluminium alloy is easy to clean and works with any lubricant, but the firm, unyielding feel and jewelled base mean it will suit confident, unhurried users more than the nervous first-timer.
Buying anal toys as a graduated set is a sensible idea in principle: rather than guessing your size and ordering blind, you get a small, a medium and a large in one go and let your body decide. The Toosh set follows that logic, wrapping three polished aluminium alloy plugs around a shared design with a clear jewelled base.
The question worth weighing is what metal actually delivers. It is hard, weighty and holds temperature, which some people love and others find unforgiving. Knowing whether that suits you matters more than the size range.
The good and the bad
What works
- Three graduated sizes in one purchase, so you can build up at your own pace
- Non-porous aluminium alloy wipes clean easily and is body-safe
- Works with water-, silicone- and oil-based lubricants without compatibility worries
- Holds temperature well for warming or cooling before use
- Wide jewelled base keeps each plug secure and easy to retrieve
What to be aware of
- Metal is firm and unyielding, which not everyone finds comfortable
- The largest plug at 4 cm wide is a genuine step up, not a casual one
- Weighted metal can feel cold and heavy without warming first
- No body-hugging give, so slow insertion with plenty of lubricant is essential
Buy it if
Anyone drawn to the firm, weighted sensation of metal who wants a clear progression from a modest starter size upward, and who values a toy that is simple to clean and lubricant-agnostic.
Skip it if
Complete beginners who feel apprehensive, or anyone who prefers a soft, forgiving feel. If that is you, a tapered silicone plug with more give will be gentler to start with.
Design and materials
Each plug shares the same look: a polished silver aluminium alloy body with a pointed tip, a narrowed neck and a wide base set with a clear stone. The base serves two purposes, decorative and practical, since a flared base is what keeps a plug safe to use and easy to remove.
Aluminium alloy is non-porous and rigid. That rigidity is the defining trait here. Unlike silicone, metal does not flex or warm to your body on its own, so the sensation is firm and the weight is noticeable, particularly with the 148g large. Many people specifically seek this out; if you do not know whether you are one of them, it is the single most important thing to consider.
The three sizes and who they suit
The small measures 6.2 cm insertable and 2.8 cm wide, the medium 7 cm insertable and 3.4 cm wide, and the large 8.2 cm insertable and 4 cm wide. The small is a reasonable entry point, though metal's lack of give makes even a modest width feel more present than the same measurement in silicone would.
The jump to the 4 cm large is significant and should be treated as a goal rather than a starting point. The value of the set is precisely that you are not committed to any one size up front. Work upward only when the previous size feels genuinely easy.
Temperature play, care and lubricant
Metal's headline party trick is temperature. Resting a plug in warm or cool water before use changes the sensation, and this is something silicone simply cannot do as effectively. A brief note of caution: check the temperature against your skin first, as metal transfers heat and cold quickly.
Cleaning is straightforward given the smooth non-porous surface, and because these are metal rather than silicone you can pair them with any lubricant, including silicone-based ones that would be off-limits with a silicone toy. Metal offers little natural glide, so generous lubrication is not optional here, it is the difference between comfort and discomfort.
How it compares
Against a silicone plug set, the trade-off is clear: silicone gives you softness, flex and body-warming comfort, while metal gives you firmness, weight and temperature play. Neither is better in the abstract; they are different experiences.
Compared with buying a single premium metal plug, a graduated trio like this is the more logical route for someone still finding their size. You are not paying for one perfectly finished piece so much as for the freedom to experiment across three.
The bottom line
The Toosh set is a well-conceived way to explore metal anal play, offering a sensible progression, easy cleaning and full lubricant compatibility. Buy it if the firm, weighted, temperature-responsive character of metal appeals and you are prepared to take the sizes slowly; look to softer silicone if you want something more forgiving from the outset.
Frequently asked questions
Are these plugs suitable for a complete beginner?
The small size is a reasonable starting point, but metal is firm and does not flex like silicone, so it can feel more intense than its measurements suggest. A nervous first-timer may find a soft, tapered silicone plug gentler to begin with, then move to metal once confident.
What lubricant should I use?
Because these are aluminium alloy rather than silicone, you can use water-, silicone- or oil-based lubricant without any compatibility concern. Metal has little natural glide, so apply lubricant generously regardless of which type you choose.
How do I use them for temperature play?
Rest a plug in warm or cool water beforehand, as the metal holds temperature well. Always test it against your skin first, since metal transfers heat and cold quickly and you want to avoid anything uncomfortable.
How do I clean them?
The smooth non-porous surface wipes clean easily with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner or mild soap. Non-porous metal is one of the more hygienic materials to look after.
Is the largest size a big step up?
Yes. At 4 cm wide it is noticeably larger than the small and medium, and metal's lack of give makes width feel more pronounced. Treat the large as a size to progress toward rather than a starting point.
