My verdict
I wish I could recommend these. They’re so cute, the texture is unique and stimulating, and the diamond on the tail is sexy. However, they’re definitely not a beginner butt plug, and as someone who’s familiar with anal toys, I wouldn’t choose these. The main issue is that the stem of the plug isn't tapered and is very small. Designers do this to ensure a snug fit for the plug. Given that there are three size options included in this kit, I don’t think a snug fit is a problem at all, which makes this design choice feel careless more than anything. No tapering on the stem means they glide in smoothly since the head is your typical shape, but they stretch you suddenly on the way out because the area resting in your entrance is considerably smaller than the end of the plug. So, if you’re just starting out with anal play, these will probably be an uncomfortable way to start. If they were silicone, they’d have a little more give and be gentler on the body. Metal is a hard medium to begin with and requires some time and practice to get used to. If you’re really comfortable with anal play and have used similar plugs, these might be great for you - ignore my issues with the stem design. My worry would be that a beginner would tear or get turned off from backdoor play entirely by them. Overall, I don't recommend these, but you know your body better than anyone.
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.

  • Our Erotic Journey Zodiac Mini Vibe Review

    The Cancer Mini Vibe, and the whole Zodiac Collection from Our Erotic Journey, is an absolute vibe. You’re supposed to order the toy that aligns with your zodiac sign. Each is different, palm-sized, and based on the symbol of that zodiac. My verdict as a sex toy: it’s cute, and I felt adorable using it. Overall, it’s a really fun alternative to your standard bullet vibrator, but it is basically just a cute bullet vibrator. The toy has 10 vibration modes, is around 2.5” wide, and is shaped like a little cartoon crab. My verdict on the toy’s vibe: brilliant! The box is designed to look like a tarot card deck, and included with the toy is a crisply designed card describing your zodiac’s sexual style and compatibility. The packaging of this toy and its presentation made me enjoy it more. Because it has such a vibe, it stands out. The legs and eyes of the crab add dimension to the toy, making it much more interesting than similar vibrators.

  • Lelo Sona: Sleek and Sexy

    Wow! The Lelo Sona Sonic Clitoral Massager is a gorgeous toy—it comes in a range of colors, though my favorite is black with gold trim and a beautiful curve accented by glimmering metal and sleek silicone. The buttons are interestingly on the bottom of the toy but made accessible by the gracious curve of its handle. The intensity changes by holding the button down while the toy automatically increases or decreases strength, an odd feature, but I got used to it very quickly. The air pulsing technology is smooth and well-contained within the rim of the suction head. My only complaint is that the head is on the smaller side. This only means that the toy is targeted, giving you more precision in your pleasure. The packing and presentation of the toy feel sexy. It’s like being handed a VIP invitation. There’s something mysterious and sleek about it. Overall, this is a fantastic toy, delivers incredible orgasms, and looks good while doing it.

  • Utimi Restraining Thigh Straps: Sign me up!

    The Utimi Restaining Thigh Straps and blindfold are incredible. They’re made of comfortable materials and have adjustable straps, ensuring the right fit every time. Ultimately, they’re a pretty simple design without extra bells and whistles. To put it on, loosen the thigh straps. Then, slip both thighs into their respective loops, allowing the connecting strap to lay across your lap. With the straps still loose, wrap the padded neck strap around the back of your neck and begin tightening the buckles. That’s it. It looks way more intimidating than it is. My partner and I had a lot of fun playing with this setup. The blindfold is soft, imitation silk that feels nice on your eyes. You have a range of position options to try, and despite being bound together, you can still move or be guided between them. Overall, this bondage device is dominating and comfortable.

    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!

    Passion Pal Homie Review: Cutting Edge Fun

    The Passion Pal Homie turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Its compact design, smooth silicone, and snug fit made it easy to wear for extended periods without any discomfort. The flared base added an extra layer of security, ensuring that it stayed firmly in place even during more active moments. ​ However, the Homie really shines when paired with its app. The built-in vibrations are good, but the app brings a whole new level of control and customization, making it a much more dynamic experience, whether solo or with a partner. And with how quiet it is, it’s perfect for discreet use, even in public settings. While the battery life could be a bit longer, the quick charging time helps offset that issue. Overall, the Homie is a solid option for anyone looking for a versatile, app-controlled plug that’s both comfortable and discreet.

    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.

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.

    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.
