Why I Chose It
“The njoy Pure Plug is everything I want out of a butt plug.”
Self-confessed “anal-play novice,” Rachel, reviewed the njoy Pure Plug for us and was blown away by just how great it was! She loved that it was beginner-friendly, yet still “felt substantial and satisfying inside.” She “wore it during PIV (penis in vagina) sex and loved every second of it! ”
njoy Toys have mastered the art of simple but highly effective design when it comes to sex toys, and I’m a massive fan of their whole range! The design of the pure plug makes it “much more comfortable to wear” compared to the standard butt plug design. The thin neck in particular allows the sphincter to shrink, helping the plug to stay in place and reducing the stretch around the anus.
Rachel also found that she preferred the loop handle of the Pure Plug as “it doesn’t get in the way or dig in anywhere as you wear it.”
I really struggled to find any flaws with this metal butt plug, which is precisely why it’s today’s test winner! My only comment would be that the small could be quite an investment for something you might want to size up from soon. However, it’s great that there’s also a medium and large size available!

Why I Chose It
This is by far my favorite butt plug in my collection! Is it ridiculously bougie? Yes! Does it make me feel like a princess when I wear it? Absolutely! I never knew anal could feel this luxuriously sexy!
Let’s start with the star of the show — the massive Swarovski crystal in the base of the plug. It has such an amazing shine that catches the light beautifully. It feels like wearing a beautiful item of jewellery and I love how elegant it looks during use. It makes me feel like I’m dressed up, even when I’m not wearing anything!
The plug itself is also a work of art! The stainless steel is polished to perfection and slides in easily. Once in place, it also sits so comfortable and has a lovely satisfying weight!
There really is nothing I can fault about this metal butt plug. The only reason it didn’t get the top spot was the price, that might not be worth it for those more interested in the function rather than the design. However, this is a butt plug that I will treasure in my collection for years to come!

- Heart-shaped base with a jewel
- Made of aluminium
Pros
- ✅ Great for beginners
- ✅ Cute rainbow design
- ✅ Nicely tapered tip
Cons
- ❌ Base could be a little bigger
Why I Chose It
Metal butt plugs don’t have to be pricey and there are loads of more budget-friendly options out there. If I were to start my journey again, I’d definitely start with a cheaper model to see if the sensation was something I enjoyed!
I love that this small rainbow butt plug is both beginner and wallet-friendly, while still being really beautiful! Naomi reviewed it for us and “love[d] the rainbow color scheme and the cute heart gem.”
She found that “insertion was easy and comfortable” thanks to the nice taper at the tip of the plug. She also enjoyed “the diversity of the metal plug” and being able “to experiment with temperature play.”
As Naomi is a little more experience with anal play, she did find herself craving something a little bigger, but “still wear[s] it occasionally solely for the exciting appearance.”

- Stainless steel butt plug
- Detachable faux fur tail
Pros
- ✅ Beginner-friendly size
- ✅ Nice weight
- ✅ Thick tail
- ✅ Easy to clean
Cons
- ❌ Base is unfinished under tail
- ❌ Faux fur can shed
Why I Chose It
I love tail butt plugs, but the ones I’ve tried left me a bit underwhelmed in terms of quality so I was really impressed by this stainless steel one from Dominix Deluxe, which is made from great materials and also has a lovely thick, fluffy tail that will have you feeling like the cutest kitty there is!
Our tester, Mariah, was surprised by how much she liked the design, commenting that “even if you aren’t into pet play, we can all admit that a tail butt plug is super cute, right?” I definitely agree!
She also really enjoyed how it felt during use and the weight was “both comfortable and notably present when inserted as well.” The tail is also “soft, fluffy, and overall well put together” so it feels sexy rather than a novelty!
The smartest thing about this plug is that the tail twists off, so you can clean the plug and tail separately. I don’t think I would ever buy a tail butt plug without this feature as even the idea of trying to prevent soggy faux fur while cleaning the plug properly gives me the ick! Mariah did comment that it would be nicer if the plug had a nicer finish when you remove the plug so it also looked nice as a plug by itself without the tail.

Things to Consider When Buying
- Size – It might be tempting to buy a large metal butt plug, but you should really choose one that’s sized correctly for you. Sizes range from under an inch in diameter to over two inches, which means you won’t have any trouble finding stainless steel butt plugs in your size:
- Shape – Size matters, but so does shape! Although not required, a tapered tip is desirable for most. Tapered tips grow gradually larger as the toy is inserted into you, making the process very easy to do with an adequate amount of lubrication.
- Type of Metal – Although stainless steel butt plugs are the most common, you can also find butt plugs made from other metals as well (like aluminum). We generally recommend sticking to surgical-grade stainless steel, as you won’t run into any allergic reactions with this metal. However, if you choose a different type of metal, make sure to do your research for any potential health hazards.
- Flared Base – It’s vital that your new steel butt plug has a flared base. This type of base will prevent you from accidentally over inserting the plug, getting it stuck inside of your anus, and—unable to get it out yourself—needing to take an unfortunate trip to the emergency room.
- Style – Buying a plain plug is always an option, but you can also choose from a wide selection of jewelled butt plugs! Since they use fake jewels, these toys offer a sexy style without an outrageous price tag. Not into jewels? Tails are another option!
