4 Best Metal Butt Plugs [Video Demonstration]

A metal butt plug, AKA a weighted butt plug, looks like a regular butt plug, except it’s made of metal, primarily stainless steel, titanium, or aluminum. The material makes them heavier, shiny, stiffer, smoother, and more attractive to the eye than other materials, like silicone toys. But which of the many models should I buy?

Based on our many years of testing we highly recommend Njoy’s Pure Plug. The gorgeous design, the stainless steel, the perfect weight, and the many sizes stood out from the competition. In addition, it comes in a beautiful box, making it the perfect gift for your loved ones.

How We Picked The Products

At My Sex Toy Guide, we are committed to offering our readers insight into what the world of metal butt plugs has to offer. For that reason, we take the time to thoroughly test all of the products that pique our interest before including them in our reviews — one of the perks of being a sex educator, I suppose.

Any product that made it onto our list stands out among the competition for the following test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100:

• Design: When selecting the best metal butt plugs, design is everything. Compared to the vagina, which was created to handle big objects, the anus is a part of the body that isn’t meant to expand. For this reason, it’s important to find toys that won’t aggravate one of its many nerve endings. Well-designed products are made to be inserted and removed with minimal discomfort. They also need to feature a flared base large enough to prevent it from being sucked into the anus and a subsequent trip to the hospital. Finally, you want to find a toy with curves and knobs perfectly positioned to stimulate all your sweet spots.
• Versatility:  Butt plugs are one of the few toys you can wear for extended periods. This wearability makes them handy for adding excitement to even the most mundane day spent running errands. A product well-suited for extended wear will include design features like a long, thin, stem and bases that won’t dig in or chafe the skin. Finding something that serves as an opportunity for you to spice up your sex life and regular life is an important feature for some connoisseurs, and that includes our team of experts.
• Build Quality:  We believe in things being built to last. Our team of experts is always on the lookout for products crafted from non-porous, body-safe materials with an extra eye for detail.
• Extra Bells & Whistles: Is a velvet storage bag necessary? No. But does it make the experience of using a metal butt plug significantly more luxurious? Absolutely. Our panel absolutely loves companies that pay attention to small details like these, and they always get a few brownie points for doing so.

During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Design (25%) and Stimulations (25%). After that comes Build Quality (10%), Material (10%), and Versatility (10%).

1. njoy Pure Plug: Our Overall Test Winner!

Why we love njoy Pure Plug:

After testing more than a dozen products, njoy Pure Plug stood out as the best metal butt plug thanks to its gorgeous design, multiple sizes, impressive versatility, and comparatively affordable price tag. Our testers described it as the perfect choice for numerous consumers looking to either explore the world of anal exploration or take things to the next level.

The design language was the primary motivation when picking the overall test winner. We appreciated the seamless and gorgeous shape because it made the piece both functional and alluring to the eyes. Most designers ignore anal toys’ aesthetics. However, njoy Pure Wand’s mirror shine and well-thought-out shape spoke volumes about the company’s commitment to user satisfaction.

Its tapered head and smooth finish significantly simplified penetration, making it perfect for newbies and intermediates. We tested the medium size, and the balance between form and function was exceptional. “Tim and I loved how the taper and angled shape enhanced the user experience,” our product test Sandra Larson wrote in her test report. “Tickling his sweet spots with the njoy Pure Plug was straightforward because the angled build made it easy to manipulate the penetration angles.”

Like other butt plugs we tested, the njoy Pure Wand wasn’t designed for prostate stimulation. However, the borderline overwhelming feeling of fullness when the piece was inside was worth it. “The solid stainless material and well-measured dimensions (3″ usable length and 3.1″ girth) meant I couldn’t forget for a moment that I was wearing a butt plug,” says Rachel Sommer. “It moved with every tilt, with a bulbous body that felt fulfilling and a slim neck that ensured it stayed in place.”

The anal plug was the easiest to use among the review samples. There weren’t any switches to learn and the approachable size meant even first-timers could enjoy the experience. Everything from the angled shape to the tiny loop handle simplified the user experience. The best part about it? Cleaning was also bliss; a quick bath with warm water and antibacterial soap was enough to clean the lustrous piece.

We also appreciate that it’s available in three sizes. Although we reviewed the medium size, a smaller and larger model exists. The width, length, and weight variations make njoy Pure Plug ideal for beginners and experienced users.

Lastly, the build quality was phenomenal. The all-stainless steel body enhances durability and reliability because the material is among the best in the sex industry. The lustrous polish gave the toy a luxurious look, making it a jewel to the eyes. More importantly, our testers highlighted the impressive attention to detail in the bulbous shape, taper, and smooth finish.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the finger loop was small, and people with bigger-than-average fingers will struggle to get a grip.

In addition, the package didn’t come with a lube sample. While it’s not the worst thing to happen, a lube sachet would’ve sufficed because it’d make the sex toy ready to use.

If you want to see what the njoy Pure Plug looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

• Material: 316-Grade Stainless Steel
• Length: 3.5”

2. Lovehoney Jeweled Heart: Budget & Beginner Pick!

Why we love Lovehoney Jeweled Heart:

For only $29.99, the Lovehoney Jeweled Heart provides excellent value for beginners looking to explore anal play. Everything from the well-measured dimensions to the impressive build quality and alluring jewel heart at the base made it functional and attractive. We especially loved the smooth finish and tapered shape because it simplified the user experience and made the piece perfect for newbies.

Most of the sex toys we reviewed for the article ranged between $50 and $70, making the Jeweled Heart from Lovehoney a good bargain. Although we came across numerous cheaper options, none came close to the design language and quality of artistry.

Besides the competitive pricing, our testers loved the smoothly pointed tip (closeup in the above image) and graduating body that ended with a thin neck and heart-shaped base. The shape and dimensions (2.5″ usable length and 3.5″ girth) simplified penetration for everyone, including beginners. “I’ve used numerous products described as beginner-friendly, but the Jeweled Heart felt the best,” says Sandra Larson. “There was a measured degree of resistance, but with the smooth finish and taper, it only took a bit of lube and patience,” she continued.

Although fake, the sapphire stone embedded in the heart-shaped bottom looked really good. People who enjoy pleasuring themselves or having sex in a room with mirrors will love the sight of a colorful gem protruding from behind.

Stimulation-wise, this metal plug won’t get you over the edge like a vibrating model won’t, but that’s not what it’s made for. We noted that the stainless-steel material felt rigid and stayed in place throughout the session. Its tapered shape simplified the user experience, but the feeling of fullness was well-measured and not overwhelming.

The stainless-steel material also made it perfect for temperature play. “I’ve tried temp-play numerous times, and I’m always excited about the changing temperatures,” says Sandra Larson. “Using a warm anal plug was more stimulating than a cool one, but my husband Tim and I enjoyed the experience as a whole.”

Lovehoney Jeweled Heart’s feminine and petite shape also means you can carry it anywhere. Hiding it away after use is also straightforward because it’ll fit in your bedside drawer flawlessly. We loved how the smooth stainless-steel material made for comfortable insertion. Once in place, it stayed comfortably inside and hit all the right spots. “I paired it with a magic wand and also used it during sex,” says Rachel Sommer. “The feeling of fullness greatly increased the orgasm intensity, making for an exciting blend of sensations.”

Minor issues we found during testing:

Our primary concern with the Lovehoney Jeweled Heart was the fact that it didn’t come with a cloth bag for storage. A cozy satin bag could’ve sufficed and protected the material from scratches.

If you want to see what Lovehoney Jeweled Heart looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

Features:

• Material: Stainless steel
• Circumference: 3.5″
• Usable Length: 2.5″

Pros:

• The most affordable metal butt plug.
• It’s a great size for beginners.
• Alluring sapphire stone.
• Phenomenal build quality.
• Gentle stretching experience.

Cons:

• The cheaply-made packaging is not giftable.
• It does not come with a storage bag.

3. Rosebuds Jeweled: Luxury Design!

Why we love Rosebuds Jeweled:

Rosebuds Jeweled stood out among the review samples because of the unique aesthetic and sexual expression that enhanced kink and made the piece alluring. Its purple body, glowing crystal, and lovely indulgence added a stylish flair to the experience, making it one of those sex toys you can’t get your eyes off.

The team thought the design blended practicality and elegance, making Rosebuds Jeweled more than a penetrative sex toy. Everything from the tapered shape to the pointed tip and bulbous body enhanced its functionality, allowing users to wear the plug during solo masturbation and partnered sex without worrying about it popping off. In addition, the glossy purple color, smooth finish, and glowing pendant at the base amplified the aesthetics, making you feel and look sexy.

Furthermore, its silky aluminum material gave the product a more lightweight feel than others, like stainless steel and glass. It felt cozy on the hands, almost like it was pinchable, but it wasn’t. For this reason, we found the user experience straightforward and you won’t have to be the most experienced anal play fan to make the most out of the experience.

Stimulation-wise, Rosebuds’ dimensions came in handy (1.7″ usable length and .98″ diameter). It certainly wasn’t the most beginner-friendly piece, but insertion was relatively easy with a measured resistance that was more fun than taxing to the sphincter muscles (You can see how the size compares to my hand below).

Although the metal butt plug wasn’t designed to draw intense sensations like a thrusting dildo, for instance, we loved the impressive awareness it created. It’s not one of those toys you wear and forget about. No! Its presence is unmissable and will keep you alert and aware of the gentle stretching inside. “Whether I’m moving around the house, having sex, or just laughing, I can feel Rosebuds tilt with my every movement, a pleasant and fulfilling feeling,” affirms Rachel Sommer.

The sensations were more psychological and visual, making the piece perfect for those that enjoy the sight of a protruding anal plug during sex or self-pleasuring. “My husband Tim loved the sight of the glowing jewel, especially during sex positions like doggy style and reverse cowgirl,” affirms Sandra Larson.

Like other metal plugs we tested for this article, the user experience was straightforward, and even a beginner can use the piece without an instruction manual. Everything from the relatively small dimensions to the tapered shape made it foolproof. We recommend more flexible sex toys for first-time users, but intermediate folks and ambitious beginners will find it relatively more straightforward to use than other metal plugs. Its bulbous body and slim neck ensured the model stayed in place throughout the session.

While anal plugs aren’t the most versatile sex toys, we loved that the Rosebuds Jeweled opened a window of opportunities for adventure seekers. Whether you’re playing solo and looking to stimulate the sensitive anal lining or pair it with other sex toys like wands to amplify the stimulation, the jewel comes in handy. Couples can also use Rosebuds for roleplay and light kink scenarios. The best part about it? The sleek, beautiful model is temperature-responsive, allowing users to explore cool and warm stimulation.

Lastly, the build quality was rated as above average. The anodized aluminum material felt and looked spectacular, with the purple hue giving it a gentle and feminine demeanor. Its high-quality craftsmanship included a flawless finish, smooth edges, and a sparkly pendant.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Like other metals, aluminum material gets cold and unpleasant to hold onto. It warms to match the body temperature quickly, but you might have to submerge it in warm water before use if you don’t want the feeling of a cold metal inside you.

In addition, this product isn’t ideal for experienced folks. Its lightweight body and comparatively small dimensions make it suitable for beginners and intermediate folks, but the more experienced users might find it underwhelming.

If you want to see what the Rosebuds Jeweled Butt Plug looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

Features:

• Material: Aluminum
• Diameter: 0.98″
• Insertable Length: 1.7″

Pros:

• It is a gorgeous and elegant piece.
• Phenomenal build quality.
• Impressive versatility.
• Suitable for solo use and partnered sex.
• Ideal for beginners and intermediates.

Cons:

• Experienced users might find it underwhelming.

4. Rear Assets Trainer Kit: Best Metal Plug Set!

Why we love the Rear Assets Trainer Kit:

The Rear Assets Trainer Kit was the best-performing kit among the review samples. Whether you’re a beginner looking to explore anal exploration or an experienced user seeking to add a quality set to your dungeon, the Trainer Kit is perfect for the job. Our testers loved the well-measured graduating size because it promoted gentle anal stretching.

The three butt plugs delivered steady and manageable sensations for beginners and intermediates looking to take their anal exploration needs to the next level. The smallest size has a mere 1.26″ diameter, while the medium and large pieces measure 1.34″ and 1.61″ in diameter. “I liked how the size difference between the three plugs made for a pleasant experience,” says Rachel Sommer. “Jessica and I prefer using the smallest in the house when watching A TV series or going about a lazy day and the largest during sex.”

Rear Assets Tainer Kit’s classic spade shape with a tapered design and bulbous body simplified penetration without affecting the feeling of fullness once inside. In addition, the thin neck made it easier for the sphincter muscles to grasp onto the sex toy, ensuring it didn’t pop off mid-session (You can see a closeup of the shape in the above image). Although the sharp tip initially looked intimidating, the smooth, rounded head was cozy, and the testers didn’t report any discomfort.

The user experience was straightforward. “It was easier to use than anticipated,” says Rachel Sommer. “Even with the widening diameter, the straightforward design and smooth finish made penetration and retraction seamless.” There wasn’t much of a learning curve and a generous lube smear was all that was needed to get over the mental hurdle of sliding a metal toy inside the anal orifice.

The anal kit’s well-measured stretching was the highlight of the sensations. Even with the smallest anal plug, the steady presence and gentle stretching with every movement made for a satisfying experience. According to Sandra Larson, it took a more than week to get comfortable with the largest of the three anal plugs. However, she loved how the smooth aluminum material and flawless finish made the experience unintimidating.

Versatility-wise, the multiple metal butt plugs offered an accessory for anal exploration for different users and scenarios. For instance, while the smallest is ideal for lazy afternoons when you want a feeling of fullness without affecting what you’re doing, the medium size is suitable for light activities like meal preparation. On the other hand, the biggest comes in handy when you’re having sex with your partner. You don’t have to use them in a prescribed manner and can always chop and change depending on your mood and sexual desires.

Lastly, the build quality made the training kit stand out. The designers used high-quality aluminum, a non-porous and hygienic material. It felt reliable and durable even after repeated use, and six months into the rollercoaster, our product test lead Sandra Larson affirms that the anal plugs feel brand new. In addition, the attention to detail was evident in the smooth chrome plating used for finishing. The seam and blemish-free surface made penetration and removal cozy.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Our primary concern with the set was the condition of the jeweled bases. Although the kit was relatively cheap, the flashy pendants looked hastily made.

In addition, the kit does not come with a storage pouch. Throwing in a cozy satin pouch would have been great to keep them safe from scratches and abrasions during storage or travel.

If you want to see what the Rear Assets Trainer Kit looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below (It’s the fourth product in the YouTube video):

Features:

• Material: Aluminum
• Diameter: 1.26″, 1.34, & 1.61″
• Length: 2.72″, 3.15″, & 3.74″

Pros:

• Multiple anal plugs offer a gentle anal training experience.
• A well-thought-out teardrop shape.
• Relatively easy to use.
• Impressive build quality.
• Smooth chrome finish.

Cons:

• It does not come with a storage pouch.

Other Good Alternatives

njoy Pure Fun is our favorite for prostate stimulation fans looking to enjoy a firm and stable metal butt plug. Its angled shape made it easy to manipulate the positioning during penetration, making it easy to land on the prostate. Our testers found the bulbous body and thick steam incredibly fulfilling, rendering the model more versatile and ideal for solo play and partnered sex. In addition, the ringed base enhanced the user experience, providing extra grip for solo use and partnered sex.

DOMINIX Deluxe Stainless Steel‘s furry faux material makes it the best choice for pet play fans. Although synthetic, the faux fur felt soft and velvety, and rubbing the fingers through the tail felt cozy. More importantly, the medium butt plug’s smooth finish and tapered shape made penetration easier than anticipated. The team also reported that the weighted 6.07oz piece added a feeling of fullness anal sex fans yearn for.

Nexus Cestos introduces much-needed vibrations to anal play. “We didn’t know what to expect from the vibrations, but they turned out to be one of the best experiences we’ve had,” says Rachel Sommer. The rattle switched from gentle whiffs to deep-reaching buzzing, and with six different modes, users can customize the experience to match the mood. More importantly, it had a convenient wireless remote control for partner play. Cestos’ classic teardrop shape with a pointed top and graduating size towards the base simplified penetration and promoted gentle stretching. The thin neck and flared base enhanced retention and prevented unwanted travel.

Are Metal Butt Plugs Safe?

Metal plugs are generally safe, but it depends on their design and materials. You should only buy products with a body-safe sex toy material like medical-grade steel, which doesn’t cause allergic reactions and other health-related problems. In addition, ensure it has a wide base so it won’t be pulled into your asshole!

Warning: Some manufacturers sell unsafe chrome-plated anal toys, which they label body-safe. Please do proper research and only buy from legit and trusted sellers. Not only will you get a high-quality product, but also good customer service and warranty. All stores listed in this article are safe.

Also, metal is a strong metal. However, if you drop it, check the surface for damage or shape changes. If you see something suspicious, discard the product immediately. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

For more information on using butt plugs, please read our guide.

But Why Should I Buy One?

If you love softer sex toys, go for a silicone butt plug, but if you’re more into harder anal toys, go for stainless steel models. Can’t decide? Read on for more information on why metal plugs could be a good option for you.

• Heavier Weight. Their heavy weight engages your sphincter muscles more than silicone products. Since they are harder, they also provide more intense pressure to specific spots on your rectum walls, such as the P-spot. The heavy weight also makes them easier to control, especially when inserting the anal toy into your anus for the first time.
• Smoother. Metal is smooth, and with sufficient lube, you can slide the weighted butt plug in and out of your anus without worries. Its smooth surface makes cleaning easier and faster before and after use. You can sterilize it, too! The extra comfort makes them better suited for prolonged wear and public play.
• Temperature Play. You can enjoy temperature play with metal models. It can add more sexual pleasure and intensify anal sex. Enjoy it hot or cold for an unforgettable butt play experience.
• Beautiful Work Of Art. Most models are artistically designed and beautiful to look at. Some even come with a furry tail or a jeweled base.
• The Price. Metal products are generally more expensive; hence you have to pay more for your weighted butt plug.

How To Use A Metal Butt Plug?

Your anal opening lacks the self-lubricating mechanism present in the vagina, making lube very important when using your metal butt plug. Applying a generous lube amount makes the experience more enjoyable and less tasking on your anus, thus avoiding painful muscle tears.

So, once you apply lube on the plug and yourself, push it gently using the tapered tip as a guide. And when it feels overly tight, hold without pushing further, giving your anal muscles time to adjust before pushing some more.

The hard work is done once the thickest portion of the butt plug goes inside. Remember, like with other sex toys, you might have to change the position and angle of penetration until you find the most comfortable one. And besides using more lube, relaxing your body and mind does help – put on a calm playlist, run a bath, or light some candles.

Temperature Play

Metal plugs are unique because they respond to cold and warm environments. If you fancy a warm experience, the best way to warm a metal product is to submerge it in a bowl of warm water for 10-15 minutes.

And if you want a chilly one, replace it with a bowl of cold water. Add a few ice cubes to ensure you get the right chill degree.

Most importantly, test the plug’s temperature with your hand before sliding it down your asshole. And especially after submerging it in hot water, confirm that it’s lukewarm and not uncomfortably hot.
