Utimi Sparkle Review - Diamond Shaped Butt Plug Set is Not For Beginners

Design

These plugs are designed to look like diamonds, matching the sparkling gem in the handle. They’re made from durable aluminum alloy that’s easy to clean and maintain. The edges of each facet are smooth and reflect light like a disco ball. The only change I would make is tapering the end toward the handle to avoid tearing or unnecessary stretching. Luckily, you can use water-based or silicone lubricant with metal. I do not think these were truly designed with beginners in mind. They’re oversimplified and choose sparkle over comfort.

Experience

At first, I was really turned on by the metal; it was cool, textured, and really exciting. I started by using the smallest size with an oil-based lubricant. I usually stick to silicone plugs, so this was a fun experiment. I put the medium plug in the fridge for added sensation, it cooled down quickly and I sized up. You definitely have to use lubricant anytime you pick up an anal toy, and I think especially with metal plugs. Silicone has more give and glides easier, and it works with your body. On the other hand, your body has to fit around metal, which took some getting used to. Both plugs glided in easily, my first problem came with retrieving the small plug, this is when I noticed the issue with the stem. Once the medium plug was inserted, I forgot all about my problems and had some fun. I usually like to move them around a little to apply more pressure or change stimulation, but the large round handle didn’t make this easy. Also, because of the thin stem connecting the plug to the handle, they’re uncomfortable to pull in and out. Honestly, taking the medium-sized one out at the end of my session was painful. It felt fine going in because of the taper, but the stem is missing that. Possibly, with more practice, this can feel better and even good, but I didn’t like it and that experience was enough to turn me off from these plugs entirely.

Quality

The materials feel high quality and easy to maintain. They’re made of strong, durable aluminum alloy, giving them a nice weight that heightens sensation.

Price

Priced at $30, these are in the low range of your typical beginner butt plug set. I imagine it's because of their material and simplicity. If that’s your jam, they’re a great buy.

Performance

Practice and lube make perfect with these plugs. If you plan to wear them longer than 30 minutes, try silicone plugs instead, as they are gentler on your body.

Packaging

The box they come in is sleek and black, very discreet. There's a foam mold inside the box that holds them in place. Overall, it’s a cute little packing/storage box.

Materials and care

Made with durable metal, these plugs can easily be washed using antibacterial soap and hot water.
