XtoysToosh Silver Metal Butt Plug Review: Medium Weighted Plug
Editor's opinion
This is a weighted metal plug in a moderate medium size, finished with a clear jewelled base and built for temperature play. It suits people who already enjoy the heft of metal or are stepping up from something smaller, but the 3.4 cm girth makes it a poor choice as an absolute first plug.
Metal plugs occupy a distinct corner of the market. Where silicone flexes and gives, a solid aluminium alloy piece like the Toosh offers unyielding weight and a temperature you can change deliberately. The trade-off is that a rigid body asks a little more patience and a lot more lubricant.
The headline question here is size. The brand pitches this as suitable both for beginners building up and for experienced users, which is a broad claim. At 3.4 cm across it is genuinely a medium, so it is worth being clear-eyed about where you actually sit before you buy.
The good and the bad
What works
- Solid aluminium alloy gives a noticeable 86g weight that many prefer
- Non-porous polished surface wipes clean quickly
- Works with water, silicone and oil-based lubricants, so no restrictions
- Holds temperature for warming or cooling play
- Wide flared base sits flush and keeps things safe
What to be aware of
- At 3.4 cm girth it is not a true beginner's first plug
- Rigid metal has no give, so insertion needs patience and generous lube
- Cold to the touch straight from the drawer unless you warm it first
- The decorative stone is glued in and needs care to avoid catching it
Buy it if
People who already enjoy anal play at a moderate size, or who like the specific heft and firmness of metal over flexible silicone. The jewelled base also appeals to anyone who likes a decorative finish.
Skip it if
Complete beginners should look elsewhere first. If this is your first plug, start with a slimmer silicone trainer around 2.5 cm or less with plenty of taper, then build up to this width.
Design And Materials
The body is polished aluminium alloy, non-porous and easy to keep hygienic, topped with a clear decorative stone at the base. The stated 86g weight is the defining feature: metal plugs are chosen precisely because you can feel them, and that heft is very different from a lightweight silicone equivalent.
Because the material is rigid rather than flexible, it does not conform to the body the way silicone does. That firmness is exactly what fans of metal are after, but it means insertion relies entirely on the taper and on lubrication rather than on any give in the toy itself. The jewelled base is glued, so it is sensible to treat that join gently and not to yank on the stone.
Shape And Fit
The numbers are the honest guide here: 8.2 cm total, 7 cm insertable and 3.4 cm at the widest point. The pointed tip and gradual taper are designed to ease you in, and the wide flared base does its important job of stopping the plug travelling too far while making removal straightforward.
The brand describes this as suiting both beginners and experienced users. In practice a 3.4 cm girth is a comfortable everyday size for someone accustomed to plugs, and a meaningful stretch for someone new. If you are building up, this is a target to work towards rather than a starting point.
Temperature Play And Lubricant
Metal's appeal for temperature play is real: aluminium alloy takes and holds warmth or cold well. A few minutes in warm water gives a gentle heat, or a spell somewhere cool gives the opposite. Always test the temperature against your wrist first, as metal can shift further than you expect.
One genuine advantage over silicone is lubricant freedom. Because the body is non-porous metal, water, silicone and oil-based lubricants are all fine, so you can use whatever you already own. With any rigid toy, use plenty and reapply as needed.
Care And Cleaning
The smooth non-porous surface is one of the easiest things about a metal plug. Warm water and a suitable toy cleaner will do the job, and the body itself has no seams to trap anything.
The one point of care is the jewelled base. Avoid harsh knocks and be gentle around the setting, and dry it thoroughly before storing so nothing works loose over time. Keep it somewhere padded so the polished finish does not pick up scratches from other items.
How It Compares
Against a silicone plug of the same dimensions, the Toosh trades flexibility and body-warmth for weight, firmness and temperature versatility. Neither is better outright; they simply suit different preferences.
Compared with other metal plugs, this sits squarely in the medium bracket. If you want something more discreet or are still working up your confidence, a smaller metal or silicone plug is the wiser buy. If you already own a small and want more presence, this is a logical next size.
The bottom line
The Toosh is a well-specified medium metal plug that delivers exactly what people seek from metal: weight, a firm smooth surface, full lubricant compatibility and temperature play. Buy it if you are comfortable at a moderate girth and want that heft; look to a slimmer trainer first if you are genuinely new to anal play.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a good first butt plug?
Not really. At 3.4 cm across it is a genuine medium, and the rigid metal body does not flex the way silicone does. A first plug is better around 2.5 cm or less with a long taper. Treat this as something to work up to.
What lubricant should I use with it?
Any type you like. Because the body is non-porous aluminium alloy rather than silicone, water, silicone and oil-based lubricants are all compatible. Use plenty and reapply as needed, since metal has no give of its own.
How do I use it for temperature play?
Place it in warm water for a few minutes to warm it, or in a cool spot to chill it. Always test the temperature against your wrist before use, as metal transfers heat and cold quickly and can shift more than you expect.
How do I clean it?
Warm water and a toy cleaner are enough, as the non-porous polished surface has no seams to trap residue. Be gentle around the jewelled base and dry it fully before storing so the setting stays secure.
Is the base safe for anal use?
Yes. The wide flared base is designed to sit flush against the body and stop the plug travelling too far, which is essential for any anal toy, and it also makes removal simple.
