XtoysToosh Purple Silicone Butt Plug Large Review: A Real Step Up
Editor's opinion
This is a large plug in the truest sense, with a 4.4 cm width that makes it a step up rather than a starting point. The soft silicone body and flush jewelled base are sensible touches, but this is one to reach for once you are already comfortable with medium sizes.
The Toosh Purple Silicone Butt Plug in large sets out to do a straightforward job well: a soft silicone body, a tapered tip to ease things along, and a jewelled base that keeps it neat and retrievable. It sits at the top of a three-size range, which tells you a good deal about who it is aimed at.
The key figure to weigh is the width. At 4.4 cm across, this is a proper large, and that number matters far more than the modest overall length. Whether this plug is right for you comes down almost entirely to whether your body is already used to that girth.
The good and the bad
What works
- Soft, body-safe silicone that warms to body temperature
- Tapered tip designed to ease insertion
- Jewelled base sits flush and acts as a safe stopper
- No batteries or charging to think about
- Part of a range, so you can size up gradually
What to be aware of
- At 4.4 cm wide this is genuinely large, not a beginner plug
- Silicone rules out silicone lubricant, so keep water-based to hand
- Jewelled base can trap grime and needs careful cleaning
Buy it if
Anyone who has already enjoyed the small or medium Toosh plugs, or another comparable plug, and is ready to move up to a fuller width with a discreet, decorative finish.
Skip it if
Complete newcomers to anal play, who should start with something far slimmer. If you are new to plugs, look at the small or medium in this range, or any plug with a width nearer 2.5 to 3 cm.
Design And Materials
The plug is made from smooth, soft silicone, which is the sensible choice for this kind of toy: it is non-porous, body-safe and warms to body temperature rather than staying cold. The soft finish should feel more forgiving than firm plastic against the skin.
One practical consequence of a silicone body is lubricant choice. Silicone lubricants can degrade silicone toys over time, so a water-based lubricant is the safe pairing here, and the maker recommends exactly that. Keep a bottle within reach, because a plug at this width wants generous lubrication.
Shape And Fit
The numbers tell the real story. Total length is 9.4 cm with 8.3 cm insertable, so this is not an especially long plug, and the length is easy to manage. The defining measurement is the 4.4 cm width, which is where the fuller sensation comes from.
The tapered tip is there to guide insertion and let the body widen gradually, but a taper only softens the approach; the widest point is still a widest point. Because this is the large in a range that also offers small and medium, the honest reading is that it is designed for people who have already worked through those sizes rather than jumping straight in.
The Jewelled Base
The decorative jewelled base is both cosmetic and functional. It adds a little sparkle and is designed to sit flush once in place, which suits anyone who likes a tidy, discreet finish.
More importantly, the base is a stopper, which is the non-negotiable safety feature any plug should have. It keeps the toy retrievable and secure. Worth noting is that jewelled and crystal-style bases have more nooks than a plain flared base, so they need a little more attention when cleaning to keep the setting free of residue.
Care And Comparison
Care is simple: wash with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner before and after each use, stick to water-based lubricant, and store it somewhere clean and dry. Silicone is generally easy to keep hygienic, though the jewelled base deserves a careful once-over.
Compared with plainer flared plugs, this trades a little cleaning simplicity for the look of the jewelled base. Compared with weighted metal plugs, it is lighter at 80g and warmer to the touch, but does not give that dense, heavy sensation some people prefer. Within its own range, the choice is really about width, and this large is the confident end of it.
The bottom line
The Toosh Purple Silicone Butt Plug Large is a well-judged plug for the right person: soft silicone, a safe flush base and a fuller 4.4 cm width. Buy it if you have already sized up through smaller plugs and want more; if you are starting out, begin lower down the range and come back to this one later.
Frequently asked questions
Is this plug suitable for beginners?
Not really. At 4.4 cm wide it is a genuine large, so it is best suited to people who have already enjoyed smaller plugs. Complete newcomers should start with the small or medium in this range, or another slimmer plug, and work up gradually.
What lubricant should I use with it?
A water-based lubricant. Silicone lubricants can damage silicone toys over time, so water-based is the safe pairing, and given the width you will want to use a generous amount.
How do I clean it, including the jewelled base?
Wash with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner before and after each use, then dry and store somewhere clean. Pay particular attention to the jewelled base, as decorative settings can trap residue more than a plain flared base.
Does it need batteries or charging?
No. This is a non-powered plug with no vibration, so there is nothing to charge and no batteries to replace.
Can I wear it for a while at a time?
The flush jewelled base is designed to keep it secure and retrievable, which suits wearing. Comfort at this width depends entirely on your own experience, so build up wear time gradually and stop if anything feels uncomfortable.
