If you can’t display it or stand it at the ready next to your bed, then what’s the point?! Maybe other people don’t care about this, but dammit, I think a toy should be able to stand up on its own. The middle of it is flat but the edges slope upward, so that if the toy is jostled at all while standing on its base, it tips over, usually resulting in it falling onto some part of my body in a painful way or rolling off my desk. It’s very pretty, definitely an appreciated aesthetic touch, but it’s poorly designed. My other problem with the base is the sparkly clear crystal on the bottom. That feeling is about as far removed from “sexy” as I can imagine. I can wear this plug comfortably if I’m lying down spread-eagled and my cheeks are wide apart (how d’you like that image?!) but if I’m walking, sitting, or doing normal human things, the (SHARP) edges of the base start to dig into my chubby butt.

It’s one of those terrible round bases that seems to have been designed by someone with no knowledge of the existence of buttcheeks.

When I masturbate with a butt plug in (which I don’t do very often, but still), I like to have some sense that there’s something in my ass so I can imagine I’m being butt-fucked this one feels almost imperceptible when it’s in because the neck puts no pressure or weight on the opening of my ass at all. It makes me wish I had just a little more girth to clench around. This neck just feels so thin that it’s like I can hardly tell there’s even a plug inside me, once it’s fully inserted. Just fabulous, really.īut the neck… It strikes me as being too thin, even considering that butt plug necks are supposed to be thin to make the plug more comfortable and help it stay in better. Properly sized, comfortably tapered, pleasantly heavy. The Mini Luv Plug, for example.)īasically all my problems with this plug are with its lower half, i.e. (Definitely start with something smaller if you’re new to anal play, though. There is sometimes a little pain or discomfort if I don’t warm up properly by using a smaller plug for a while first, but it’s not too bad. How is this witchcraft possible?! I guess the shape is so nicely tapered that it lets my butt smoothly transition from tiny tip to wide-ass middle. My vagina can’t even handle two inches of steel, let alone my ass. But then I got out my tape measure, just to make sure, and apparently this thing actually is TWO INCHES in diameter, like it says it is. I just drafted a whole paragraph about how this plug is supposedly “extra-large” but isn’t actually that big, and how I suspected that the measurements on the product page must be inflated. My butt has been spoiled by the best steel plugs in existence, the Njoy Pure Plugs, so my standards for steel plugs are high, but maybe that’s a good thing. I was sent the Metal Worx XL Luv Plug and it’s okay but I have some quibbles about it. Read reviews (like this one!) to get a good sense – though not a perfect sense, because everyone’s body is different – of whether the toy you’re thinking about buying is actually butt-friendly, comfortable, and seems to have been tested by actual humans at some point during the production process.

Steel plugs must, must, must be designed ergonomically for the body, or they will be uncomfortable at best and agonizing at worst. To quote Mad-Eye Moody: “CONSTANT VIGILANCE!”Ĥ. Don’t drop it on your toes, or you risk cracking your bones. Don’t drop it in the sink, or you risk cracking your ceramic. Be extra cautious when carrying or washing a steel plug, because it is bound to be HEAVY and you can do some serious damage with it if you’re reckless or careless. I have yet to find a silicone-based lube thick enough to work for my butt, and despite the generalization that water-based lubes tend to evaporate quicker than other kinds, I find that types with a gel consistency last seemingly forever – or at least, long enough for me to get my butt jollies and then pop the plug out pain-free.ģ. However, my across-the-board policy on anal lube is that I use exclusively thick, gel-like, water-based ones. They work with any lube, so use what you like. Try something small and silicone first.Ģ. You might find the sensation a bit overwhelming it’s like diving into the deep end without any swimming lessons. They’re probably not a great idea if you’ve never engaged in any kind of anal play before, because they’re heavy and immediately very noticeable. But there are some things you gotta know before you think about investing in a steel butt plug.ġ. I loooove steel it’s indubitably my favorite material for anal toys in particular.
