My verdict
Pros
- Diamond on the end is really cute
- The texture is interesting
Cons
- Poor design
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.

Plus One Dual Vibrating Arc: Full of Surprises
The Dual Vibrating Arc from Plus One features a simple, sleek design that packs a punch. For once, a ‘personal massager’ that is actually lovely to use on your back and between your legs. The curved design and soft silicone fit comfortably in my hand while providing targeted internal stimulation. With two size options and multiple speeds, the Dual Vibrating Arc is perfect for finding the g-spot and p-spot, making it a gender-inclusive toy. Strong vibrations and ergonomic hold make this an excellent option for clitorial or external play, as well. The toy’s length made playing on my back and stomach easy. However, the toy did let me down a little. The shape of the arch doesn’t allow for simultaneous dual stimulation. While only one side vibrates at a time - already a little disappointing - the vibrations are so strong they made my hand tingle - not a bad thing, but not the most comfortable for longer play.

Confusing Magic: the Ava VIVV Massage Wand
The VIVV Massage Wand by Ava is an adorable, humbly sized vibrating wand with a flexible neck for precision pressure and pleasure. The high-quality, soft, silicone ribbed head adds an unexpected dimension to vibrations. However, the diagonal ribbing on the handle makes finding the buttons difficult and can turn an attempt to adjust intensity or vibration pattern into a lost orgasm. Slightly making up for the confusing texture, the Ava VIVV features 20 vibration patterns and 8 intensities. I say ‘slightly’ because at least 10 of the 20 vibration patterns are redundant. Their slight differences offer the nuance needed for precise pleasure, and taking a few extra minutes to cycle through and find the right one isn’t the worst way to spend your time. The only other hitch in this device is that it resumes whatever intensity and pattern you used before when you turn it on. Sometimes, this is great. Other times, it’s nice to reset and start out easy.

Plus One Vibrating Bullet: Average Travel Size Vibes
The Plus One Vibrating Bullet is a simple, easy to use, travel-size vibe. The no-frills, straightforward design gets the job done. This isn’t the first toy I’d pull out of my drawer, but it’s the backup I like knowing is there. Its size makes it great for partnered play, as it doesn’t get in the way and can easily be moved around. With only one button, getting confused or struggling to change settings is nearly impossible. The 10 vibration settings offer a range of intensities and patterns that are standard for most vibrators. Included in the box is a finger sleeve, which majorly elevates the experience and pleasure of the bullet. Soft, high-quality silicone makes this toy fully waterproof, allowing for shower play. Overall, this is a very average toy. It satisfies but doesn’t over-deliver.

Smooth and Beginner Friendly: Plus One’s Vibrating Wand
The Plus One Vibrating Wand is smooth in every sense of the word. Suave, moderately powerful vibrations radiate from its broad, soft head with a flexible neck, giving you total control of where the vibes go and how much pressure they apply. Overall, I was satisfied with this toy - it doesn’t have the strength of other wands, but the cadence of the vibrations rolls instead of pounds, making this wand more sensual than most vibrators. It has 10 settings varying in intensity and pattern, is cordless, and fully waterproof. The silicone surrounding the toy is soft and feels nice in your hand as you maneuver the wand. It's a great first wand or vibrator, but I wouldn’t recommend it to experienced players looking for a new toy. For my taste, it was a little too simple. However, there really isn’t anything to complain about.

Nu Sensuelle Mini Plug - Mini size, Mighty Pleasure
The Nu Sensuelle Mini Plug is a small and compact anal toy that is sure to delight beginners and newcomers to back door play. The small and compact size of the Mini Plug is comfortable, but not without it's flaws. The Nu Sensuelle Mini Plug boasts 3 Different vibrating speeds, along with 12 Different pulsing and vibrating patterns, for a total of 15 total different play modes. While some of the pulsing and buzzing patterns are better than others, all of them bring some level of delight and pleasure. The smaller sleek design is made for comfort, but the length isn't quite enough to fully reach the prostate and give it that "Oh yeah!" factor. One of the bigger downsides, at least in my humble opinion, is the total battery length. This small device takes almost two hours to fully charge, and lasts anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes depending on which patterns or how intense of a vibration you decide. The one button design is easy to use, but you have to constantly press the button to cycle through each pattern, making it a little difficult to find the right pattern, as you have to keep cycling through, and have to completely cycle through and shut it off to start cycling through all over again. The flared base helps to make sure it doesn't get lost in your nether regions, however the rather skinny design doesn't help keep it in place, and often times I have had to reinsert it because the pattern or vibration caused it to slip out. The device itself isn't all together that loud, but can become louder with some of the more intense vibration and patterns. All in all this is a perfect little device for beginners, that is sure to delight for what it is.

The Lovense Hush 2 in Size Medium is an Amazing Vibe Butt Plug
I love my Lovense Hush 2 in the size medium. It has 1.75 inches of diameter to provide a good stretch and a powerful vibration motor to help you reach orgasm. It has a simple to use app with lots of features such as remote control links to send to a friend/partner, Control Roulette to connect with a random user and control each others toys, and you can sync different vibe patterns with the toy. You can also use the built-in vibe patterns without needing to connect the plug to the app. The Hush 2 is made of high quality body safe silicone and is recommended that people use with water based lube with it. Silicone based lube can cause damage to toys made of silicone I use my Hush 2 for an average of an hour, and it takes an estimated 90 minutes to charge. I love the fact that it uses a simple to connect magnetic charger, making charging easier. It also makes cleaning easier since there is no charging port to worry about messing up. The plug can be worn comfortably throughout the day. It is fun to give a friend control while you wear it for the day. The vibrations feel amazing against my prostate as it gets turned on. For cleaning you can use antibacterial soap and hot water. Do not boil the toy in water since the battery can be damaged, but the Hush 2 is IPX7 waterproof. The toy comes with the Lovense Hush 2 plug itself, the usb magnetic charging cable, and a small storage bag. For charging the toy comes with a usb cable but doesn't come with an ac adapter to plug the cable in, you can use a phone charger or charge from a computers usb port.

Passion Pal Challenger: App Controlled Butt Plug Review
The Passion Pal Challenger delivers a great balance of comfort and functionality. Its four-plus inches of insertable length hit all the right spots, while the rotating beads offer a unique twist that adds to the experience. The vibrating base provides unexpected and enjoyable external stimulation, and the stretchy cock rings fit comfortably without feeling too tight. Even after hours of wear, there’s no discomfort, and the plug stays securely in place, making it great for extended use. While I would have preferred more control over the rotating beads, the app is easy to use, and the vibrations are strong and precise. It’s also impressively quiet, making it ideal for discreet play. Overall, the Challenger is versatile, reliable, and delivers satisfying internal and external stimulation.

Peanut Plug Set Review
The SinSaint Peanut Plug Set truly offers something for everyone, from beginners to seasoned enthusiasts. The small, medium, and large sizes each provide unique experiences, allowing for a range of comfort and stimulation that caters to individual preferences. The small plug is an excellent starting point, offering a gentle introduction to anal play with its easy insertion and subtle presence. However, the thin and flexible material of the flared base along with its small diameter is slightly cause for concern. This size is one I would use for decoration or teasing and light stretching without leaving it in. For those seeking a bit more sensation, the medium plug strikes a balance between comfort and noticeable pressure, making it perfect for extended wear and daily activities. The large plug, while the most challenging to insert, delivers substantial pleasure and effective stretching, enhancing your readiness for more advanced play. Overall, the SinSaint Peanut plugs are well-crafted and versatile, blending comfort with pleasure. They are ideal for both pre-Funtime preparation and as standalone toys for those who enjoy a bit of stretch and stimulation. The final score was 70/90 giving the SinSaint Peanut Plug Set a rating of 7.5/10. If you're looking for reliable, enjoyable plugs that cater to different levels of experience, I would say the SinSaint Peanut series is definitely worth considering.

B-Vibe Snug Plug 3 Review - Is it worth a buy?
So, is it worth a buy? If you’re a beginner, absolutely! The reasonably priced Snug Plug 3 is a fantastic choice to start with. Its smooth, rounded edges make insertion a breeze, and the premium silicone ensures it feels great for long-term wear. The 180g weighted balls inside the plug add a unique sense of fullness that’s satisfying without being overwhelming, even for extended use. The thin neck helps the plug stay securely in place, so there’s no need to worry about it slipping out unexpectedly. However, it doesn’t offer much in the way of girth training, so keep that in mind. My one issue was the grip handle—it felt a bit too wide and was the first spot where I noticed any discomfort. For more experienced users, the Snug Plug 3 might feel a bit small, as it did for me. But the good news is that the Snug Plug series comes in seven sizes. You can start small and work your way up to the Snug Plug 7, which features a hefty 600g of weighted balls and a diameter of 2.5 inches!

Behind the Pleasure with CalExotics
If you’ve been curious about anal play but felt overwhelmed by the options, let me introduce you to the CalExotics X-10 Beads. These beads are designed to ease you into the experience with their gradual sizing and simple, effective design. The clever design allows you to start small (with some itty-bitty beads) and progress at your own pace (to the larger, more ball-like beads). The spacing between the beads offers plenty of room for movement without any slips, and their flexibility ensures they adapt naturally to your body. Talk about comfort! They're a low-risk, easy choice for anyone new to anal toys or looking for a gentler, more relaxed experience. One standout feature is the pull-out ring, which adds an extra layer of safety and control. Whether you’re using the beads solo or with a partner, the loop ensures a secure grip for smooth retrieval, so you can focus entirely on the sensations without any worries. It’s a small but crucial detail that makes the X-10 Beads especially beginner-friendly. More experienced users might find the smaller beads too subtle, but the larger ones deliver a satisfying “pop” sensation that makes the journey worthwhile. Their approachable size also makes them great for warm-ups or adding variety to partnered play. The PVC material, while body-safe and phthalate-free, is porous, so proper cleaning is essential. Wash with mild soap and warm water, or use a toy cleaner, to keep them hygienic. While I’d prefer silicone for its non-porous nature, the trade-off is understandable given the price. While they lack the intensity of larger or vibrating options, the X-10 Beads are a great pick for gentle exploration or mixing things up. Whether you’re dipping your toes into anal play or just looking for something low-key, these beads offer comfort and pleasure without breaking the bank.
