10 Best Glass Butt Plugs In 2024, Reviewed by a Sex Educator

The benefits of using glass butt plugs over those made from other materials are plenty. Features like cleanability, a more weighty presence, and aesthetics keep me coming back to them. But which of the many products should I buy?

After testing dozens we decided that Chrystalino Expert was the highest-rated glass butt plug and what we recommend to all our friends and readers. On top of being absolutely stunning, it’s shaped perfectly for extended wear and to prevent it from being stuck in your tush, a common concern for folks wanting to try anal play.

Why You Should Trust Us

Rachel Sommer has managed our product testing team since 2016, helping them create hundreds of product reviews. She has personally tested each hand-selected product and, during her examination period, grew especially fond of glass butt plugs.

How We Picked The Products

When testing butt plugs, especially those made from glass, my team and I use a more rigorous testing process than usual. Ensuring that the products we recommend are as comfortable as possible and guaranteed to be safe to use is of high priority.

After distributing the products to my team, I provided them with the following test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100. These are the following:

• Flared base: A flared base is a must-have for all anal toys, preventing them from getting stuck in the anal cavity. In this review, we looked for toys with different base designs to satisfy folks looking for eye-catching pieces and those who love extended play.
• Design: When it comes to sex toys you’re planning on putting in your butt, design is everything. Our panel was looking for designs that maximized comfort while simultaneously providing that filling sensation that butt plugs are known for.
• Stimulations: The weighty, rigid feel of glass butt plugs is something that wearers grow to love. We sought products that satisfied the senses and even managed to track down a few with added features like a tail or vibrations.
• Build Quality: Sex toys made from glass aren’t something you want to skimp on. By buying a high-quality toy, you will ensure that the product has what it takes to stand the test of time and will guarantee your safety.
• Value: Unlike other styles of butt plugs, the value of glass can be derived from sensation, unique features like vibrations, or simply the beauty of the plug itself.
• Price: Because not everyone is shopping on the same budget, our team included budget-friendly options and some suitable for big spenders.
• Safety: For some people, the thought of putting something glass in their tush can be intimidating. All the models in this review are made from high-quality, shatter-proof glass to ensure the wearer’s safety.

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 Safety (25%). After that comes Stimulations (10%), Build Quality (10%), and Price & Value (10%).

1. Chrystalino Expert: Our Overall Test Winner!

Why we love Chrystalino Expert:

Whether you’re shopping for aesthetics or a toy you can wear all day, the Chrystalino Expert is right for you. Don’t let the name scare you. Everyone from anal newbies to experienced players will find something to love about this gorgeous plug!

The first thing that stood out to our testers was the gorgeous packaging it came in (inside the nondescript brown box that Lovehoney is famous for, of course). We all agreed that this touch made it feel like a premium product and gave it definite giftability.

A super curvy body with a nicely tapered tip made inserting this toy extremely easy, and I loved that the glass body is cold to start as it immediately awakens the senses.

An ideal size for extended wear, our testers found it easy to wear this anal plug all day without getting uncomfortable or worrying about it slipping out. The T-shaped base also adds to the extended wearability, as you don’t have to worry about the edges digging into the side of your cheeks.

Minor issues found during testing:

The only design flaw my team and I found was that the ends of the T-shaped base curve back toward the body. Although this construction enhances the elegance of Chrystalino Expert, our prostate-endowed members felt it digging into their perineum during extended wear.

Those who tested the Chrystalino Expert also reported our partners’ scrotums sometimes getting hooked onto the ends.

Why Chrystalino Expert is the best glass butt plug:

Our team of experts absolutely loved testing the Chrystalino Expert and gave it an average grade of 97%. Let’s look at the raw test data to see how we motivated our decision:

• Design: We all agreed that Chrystalino Expert is beautiful enough to be an ornament (though some might question its place on your Christmas tree) and embodies all the features you could ask for from a glass model. We all love a product with a beginner size, that’s comfortable enough to wear all day, and designed to be pain-free during entry.
• Comfort: We love a model sized for beginners, comfortable enough to wear all day, and specially designed to be pain-free during entry, thanks to its super tapered tip.
• Safety: Because of the T-shaped base on Chrystalino Expert, it cannot be lodged in your tush. Full stop.

Features:

• Material: Glass
• Length: 4”
• Color: Blue
• Circumference: 4.75”

Pros:

• An ideal shape for extended wear.
• It comes in a beautiful package making it great for a gift.
• Great for anal newbies.
• Very easy to clean.
• Budget-friendly ($29.99)
• Beautiful to look at.

Cons:

• The ends of the T-shaped base can be uncomfortable since they curve back toward the body.
• Too small for size queens.

2. Lovehoney Sensual Glass Jeweled: Jeweled Plug

Why we love Lovehoney Sensual Glass Jeweled:

Regarding butt plugs, we think there’s no such thing as too sparkly. If you agree, you’ll love the Lovehoney Sensual Glass Jeweled. After popping this adorable plug in your bum, we guarantee you won’t be able to take your eyes off it.

This glass toy embodies the classic teardrop shape that contributes to the delectable filling many butt plug lovers have grown to love. Despite having a wider body, the Lovehoney Sensual Glass Jeweled was extremely easy to insert. And I also loved that because it’s glass; I could use my favorite silicone lube.

Our testers agreed that using a weighty glass gave it a uniquely satisfying sensation and pushed on some areas other models on this list couldn’t achieve. This is a tall order for a relatively small and beginner-friendly plug.

I also enjoyed using Lovehoney Sensual Glass Jeweled as a precursor for anal sex and felt that the thicker neck was perfect for anyone looking for a starting plug for anal training. Despite having a heart-shaped base, I found extended wear extremely comfortable and, most importantly, pleasurable.

Minor issues found during testing:

Our panel’s main concern regarding the Lovehoney Sensual Glass Jeweled was the slight instability of the heart-shaped gem, which may come out of the base if used incorrectly.

It’s also worth mentioning that Lovehoney Sensual Glass Jeweled is on the smaller side. Although this is perfect for beginners, all my size queens might consider a larger-bodied plug.

Why Lovehoney Sensual Glass Jeweled is the best glass jewel butt plug:

• Stimulation: The versatility was our tester’s favorite feature and earned it an average score of 94% in this critical test category. Whether you’re a butt plug amateur drawn to the adorable exterior of bejeweled butt plugs or an experienced user, Lovehoney Sensual Glass Jeweled will hit all the right spots.
• Price & Value: Besides the plug, anyone who purchases the Lovehoney Sensual Glass Jeweled will receive a drawstring velvet storage pouch and an informative guide on temperature play. All of which is a steal for only $26.99.

Features:

• Material: Glass
• Length: 3”
• Color: Clear Glass With Red Jewel
• Circumference: 4”

Pros:

• Budget-friendly ($26.99)
• Very comfortable during extended wear.
• Looks absolutely adorable in your bum.
• Small enough for beginners.
• Painless to insert.

Cons:

• The heart-shaped gem can become dislodged.
• Not large enough for experienced butt-plug lovers.

3. DOMINIX Deluxe Glass Faux Fur: With An Animal Tail

Why we love DOMINIX Deluxe Glass Faux Fur

Feeling bored with your traditional glass butt plugs? Adding a tail into the mix could be just what you need to spice things up in the bedroom!

The DOMINIX Deluxe Glass Faux Fur is an ideal starter size for beginners and experienced tail enthusiasts. A price of $39.99 makes it a super budget-friendly piece that you won’t regret adding to your collection.

Although some of our testers felt this would serve well as a size-up for those with more experience, others (including myself) felt it’s well-designed for beginners regarding shape and size.

The size and weight make it easy to clench between your cheeks without worrying about it getting tugged out – even during rougher play. Though it’s worth noting that the entry can be tense, make sure to exercise patience and not be afraid to use lots of lube!

When using DOMINIX Deluxe, I found the sensation of the tail lightly tickling the back of my thighs delightful and was impressed by how little it shed, both in use and afterward.

Minor issues found during testing

Because the in-seam on the tail is held together with glue, it becomes stiff if it loses any of its volume. When this happens, the glue no longer blends nicely into the material. The faux fur was also not designed to be as fluffy as traditional fox tails, which could disappoint folks with more tail experience. (read more about the best fox tail butt plug products here.)

The only change I would make in terms of design is providing detachability between the plug and tail for easier cleaning when the fun is over.

Why DOMINIX Deluxe Glass Faux Fur is our favorite glass tail butt plug:

• Price & Value: Of the many tail butt plugs we tested, none within a similar price range offered the same level of quality. The affordability of DOMINIX Deluxe is just one of the features that earned it an average score of 94%.
• Stimulation: This toy’s thick body, in combination with the tail tickling the back of your legs, feels amazing and will make you never want to take it out.
• Comfort: Despite being tricky to insert, DOMINIX Deluxe is extremely comfortable to wear once inside.

Features:

• Material: Borosilicate Glass and Faux Fur
• Insertable length: 4”
• Total length: 21”
• Color: Black
• Circumference: 4.5”

Pros:

• It’s made from high-quality borosilicate glass.
• Comes with a red velvet storage bag.
• Great for beginner and intermediate anal enthusiasts.
• Very budget-friendly for a tail butt plug ($39.99)
• The tail isn’t made from real fur.

Cons:

• The tail and plug don’t detach.
• The glued in-seam can stand out if the tail loses volume.

4. Lovehoney Small Heart: Heart-Shaped Model

Why we love Lovehoney Small Heart:

There’s the Lovehoney Small Heart for those who aren’t a huge fan of bling but still want to see something heart-shaped in their booty. This is our recommendation for anyone desiring a dainty plug capable of doling out the girth they deserve.

Our testers had mixed feelings on whether Lovehoney Small Heart is an ideal option for anyone shopping for their first butt plug. Although none of us had issues getting the anal plug in (when using lots of lube and patience), some testers with less anal play experience found it difficult to wear this plug for longer than 30 minutes.

That being said, we all agreed that something about the shape made it feel more comfortable to wear, even when compared to smaller-sized plugs with a similar shape.

The size and shape of Lovehoney Small Heart also made it feel snug during extended wear, though our test panel was also torn on how comfortable they found the toy’s base during extended wear. Some people loved wearing it all day, and others found it too bulky to wear for longer periods.

Minor issues found during testing:

Though very aesthetically pleasing, the base of the Lovehoney Small Heart has an odd shape and is on the large side. For some of our panel members, this severely affected the extended wearability. (more on all-day butt plug products in this article.)

Some of our pickier testers also found it frustrating that it rotates while you wear it, meaning they might be met with a crooked heart when showing off your plug to your partner.

Why Lovehoney Small Heart is the best glass heart butt plug:

• Aesthetic: One thing our panel members could agree on regarding the Lovehoney Small Heart is how adorable this plug is, which earned it an average rating of 96%. The translucent pink gives it an unarguably cute vibe and is also perfect for fans of gaping.
• Comfort: Despite being a larger plug, once inside, Lovehoney Small Heart was one of the more comfortable we tested, even compared to smaller models.
• Build Quality: When handling this plug, it’s very obvious that it’s built to last and free from imperfections that might interfere with its smoothness.

Features:

• Material: Glass
• Length: 3”
• Color: Pink
• Circumference: 4”

Pros:

• Comes with a velvet storage bag.
• Very budget-friendly ($24.99).
• The base size is guaranteed to prevent it from slipping inside.
• Looks absolutely adorable inside your tush.
• Translucent glass is ideal for fans of gaping.

Cons:

• The heart-shaped base can get twisted when you wear it.

5. Lovehoney Full Bloom: Rose-Shaped Model

Why we love Lovehoney Full Bloom

No such thing as the perfect butt plug? Think again! This next list entry is another fan favorite and quickly made it into many members of our tester’s top 3 list. It’s our preferred option for folks who want to feel like a princess in the bedroom.

The Lovehoney Full Bloom doesn’t have the typical teardrop shape of the average butt plug. Instead, you’ll find a long, thin body attached to the flower base by a rather thick stem, making the glass flower butt plug ideal for anal training.

The sweeping curvature of Lovehoney Full Bloom is not only beautiful, but it also improves accessibility for anyone newer to using anal plugs. The rounded body is easy to pop into your tush – despite being wider than most starter plugs we recommend.

As with all glass butt plugs, the material can be heated or cooled by placing it in a bowl of tempered water, which adds an extra kick of sensation that already does its job exceptionally well.

Minor issues found during testing

Many of our team members had the same issue while using Lovehoney Full Bloom. The weight of the glass, in combination with the long, thin body, makes this plug privy to popping out, especially if you’re generous with the lube.

Although it’s not a huge deal, usually, the dislodge happens when your muscles clench close to orgasm, which can result in an underwhelming finish.

Why Lovehoney Full Bloom is the perfect glass rose butt plug

• Safety: This toy’s flared base is stunning and definitely makes it stand apart from other glass sex toys. The mixture of beauty, comfort, and safety that the base offers earned it an average rating of 95% from our test panel.
• Stimulations: The size and shape of the body give it a particular sensation. Although not as intense as a teardrop-shaped plug, the unique fullness of Lovehoney Full Bloom will keep you coming back for more.

Features:

• Material: Borosilicate Glass
• Length: 4”
• Color: Pink
• Circumference: 4.75”

Pros:

• A thick stem makes it ideal for anal training.
• The ornate flower stem is stunning.
• It’s made from high-quality borosilicate glass.
• Budget-friendly ($29.99).
• Super easy to insert.

Cons:

• Lovehoney Full Bloom sometimes pops out during sex.
• A long body makes it feel less intense than a teardrop shape.

Other Good Alternatives

Lovehoney Sensual is our recommendation if you want a model with vibrations. Building a vibrating glass butt plug isn’t easy, but this design flawlessly combines all the great features of glass sex toys (like temperature play and non-porousness) with 3 strong vibration settings. Although too large for beginners, I loved the stretch it provided during anal play and felt that the wide stem set me up perfectly for larger things. Cycling through the 7 vibration patterns via the buttons on the toy’s base made finding my perfect setting easy.

Stockroom’s Rainbow Ponytail is our preferred glass unicorn butt plug among the ones we’ve reviewed. The generous insertable length helps it sit comfortably while supporting the voluptuous 15.5” rainbow tail. Made from high-quality borosilicate glass, the toy’s bulbous body provided a filling sensation that I won’t soon forget. After hours of comfortable play, thanks to the thin stem, easily detach the tail for a quick cleanup.

Stockroom’s Crystal Large is the best one for size. Definitely not beginner-friendly, this hefty plug’s borosilicate glass body has a presence that won’t go unnoticed in your tush. The ultimate addition to any collection, this huge glass butt plug can help make all your gaping fantasies a reality and prepare your anus for all your favorite kinds of anal play.

If you’re talking beginner-friendly models, it doesn’t get better than Lovehoney Pure Pleasure. A less shapely body and super-tapered tip make inserting this small glass butt plug a breeze, even for butt-play beginners. The flared base will leave you to explore anal play worry-free. And for only $26.99, your anal training journey can begin with no sizeable investment necessary.

Prisms Erotic is the ideal option if you want a full set. This set of three glass butt plugs provides everything you need to start your anal play journey and graduate to larger sizes as needed. These borosilicate glass plugs have a shorter insertable length than the average model. After starting with a nicely tapered tip for easy entry, they quickly flare out and remain relatively wide, even through the stem. This design allows for an even stretch and creates the perfect opening for larger objects.

What Is A Glass Butt Plug?

A glass butt plug is a sex toy made from glass that incorporates all the must-haves for anal play, like a tapered tip for easy insertion and a flared base to prevent it from getting stuck in your tush. The thing separating glass butt plugs from their counterparts is their focus on being aesthetically pleasing.

But Why Should I Buy One?

Many people (like myself) swear by glass butt plugs, and we do so for many reasons. Most notably, the fact that they are made to be gorgeous. Whether in your bum or not, you can’t help but admire their gorgeous craftsmanship.

But besides being beautiful, butt plugs made from glass also offer some practical benefits. Unlike silicone butt plugs, which can harbor smell when used in your bum, plugs made from glass are insanely easy to clean, which is a nice touch for those who are short on time.

Just like metal toys, glass anal beads and other glass toys can also be used for temperature play, opening up a world of possibilities for those craving a variety of stimuli. [2]

Finally, they are suitable for all genders, and penis owners can use them for prostate stimulation and to explore prostate play.

How To Use A Glass Butt Plug?

After cleaning your toy, apply a generous amount of lube (silicone or water-based lube is suitable for glass). Then begin gently inserting the plug, tapered tip first. Take your time with this step, and stop momentarily if you experience any sort of discomfort. You can even do an anal douche, but it’s not absolutely necessary. (More on anal douching here and here.)

If you want more information on making your experience as pleasurable as possible, check out our detailed guide on how to use a butt plug, as written by a sexual health expert.

How To Clean A Glass Butt Plug?

When it comes to cleaning a glass butt plug, the process is relatively simple since it’s non-porous. Rinse the toy in hot water and apply mild soap, such as a hand soap or sex toy-specific cleanser. After thoroughly scrubbing and rinsing your toy, towel dry it or allow it to air dry completely before placing it in a bag away from other toys.

Cleaning sex toys properly is essential, as it not only increases the longevity of toys but also helps prevent bacterial infections from toy use. To ensure you have up-to-date knowledge of all the hygiene practices for sex toys, check out our extensive cleaning guide. [1]

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Which is better a glass butt plug or silicone?

Using butt plugs made from silicone or glass has different advantages. For example, glass is easier to clean and can be used for temperature play, but some people find them too hard and unforgiving for anal play. While silicone is softer, it can also hold onto odor and dry out quickly during extended play.

Ultimately, deciding between a glass vs silicone butt plug will come down to your personal preference.

Which is better a glass butt plug or metal?

Glass and stainless steel plugs have many of the same characteristics. They are both heavier materials that provide a satisfying filling sensation, can be used for temperature play, and are compatible will all types of lube.

The main difference between these two materials is appearance, with many glass anal plugs looking more delicate and feminine. The deciding factor when choosing between a glass vs metal butt plug should be the shape, size, and which you prefer the look of.

What lube to use with this toy?

One of the nice things about using a glass butt plug is that you’re completely safe to use your chosen lube. Unlike silicone plugs, you can use your favorite silicone-based lube worry-free.

How to store a glass butt plug?

After washing your glass anal butt plug with soap and warm water, and allowing it to dry completely, place it in either a cushioned cloth storage bag or box, so it doesn’t break. Store your sex toys individually to prevent the spread of bacteria.

How to travel with a glass butt plug?

If you plan to travel with a glass butt plug, your main priority should be preventing it from breaking. You can do this by placing it in a storage container with a hard shell or rolling it between clothing for extra padding.

Can a glass butt plug break?

Using high-quality Borosilicate glass plugs is safe, and you don’t have to worry about it breaking inside your tush, even during rough play. That being said, glass is glass and can easily shatter when dropped. [3] Use extra care when handling it between uses. And if you drop them, check for damages or discard them immediately.

How long can you wear a glass butt plug?

There is no maximum for how long you can comfortably wear butt plugs. Many people enjoy this toy style because of its potential for extended wear and opt to wear it for entire days or overnight.

That said, we don’t recommend wearing a butt plug for more than a few hours, as you can potentially damage the sensitive nerve endings in your anus. You can read more about wearing a butt plug in this guide.

Are glass butt plugs safe?

Yes, high-quality glass butt plugs are completely safe to use. Many products nowadays are made from borosilicate glass or other high-quality shatterproof materials and are guaranteed not to break during anal play.
