10 Best Metal Butt Plugs in 2024, REALLY Tested! [Video Reviews]

Metal butt plugs are more hygienic than those made from silicone since they’re completely non-porous and easier to wash. They’re also better for temperature play and can even be more comfortable to slip in and out of your extra-sensitive anus. 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 butt plug that made it onto our list of recommendations stands out among the competition for the following test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100:

• Design: When it comes to 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

We voted the Njoy Pure Plug the best metal butt plug because of its flawless design and attention to detail (which is especially important for a toy you’re planning on using on your very sensitive tush.)

Njoy Pure Plug is crafted out of 316-grade stainless steel and offers a unique bulbous design that will remind you just how good penetrative anal play feels during insertion. The testers thought the weighty feel of Pure Plug added an extra element of presence, so you won’t forget about it, even if it’s worn to spice up a day of running errands.

Another thoughtful design feature is the extra tapered head (image above) for maximum comfort over extended periods of wear, which, combined with the easy-to-grip base ring, makes removal extra comfortable, even for butt-plug beginners.

The Pure Plug also comes in three different sizes, so you can upgrade as you become more comfortable with anal play. The entire metal butt plug set features the same insertable length since it’s the optimal depth for providing sensation where it counts — even for men — but varies in head size from 1-1.5 inches. (You can see me comparing the size with some audio connectors in the below image.)

A quarter-inch size difference between these anal plugs might seem negligible, but you’re sure to feel it during insertion, and the bigger size is meant to prime the anus, perfect for anyone anal training with anal sex as your end goal.

As you can see in the image below, Pure Plug comes complete with a beautiful luxury gift box. A nice touch, especially for anyone considering gifting this to someone special.

Minor issues we found during testing

Because of the tapered design, the Pure Plug is a little smaller than other butt plugs I’ve used. For this reason, anyone with experience in butt plug play might want to skip straight to the medium or large.

Aside from that, the only drawback for someone considering this toy is the price tag, with the Pure Plug coming in between $65-$85, plus shipping.

Why Njoy Pure Plug the highest-rated metal butt plug

The Njoy Pure Plug stands out from the competition because of its bulbous head and perfectly tapered length. We’re sure you won’t find both unique features in the competition.

These small details serve as proof of the high level of detail being paid to this steel plug. And we love something that has a quality build since a good toy is guaranteed to provide a lifetime of fun.

It’s not often that we find a product that seamlessly transitions from using its gentle curve for perfect prostate stimulation to providing a fullness that satisfies our female audience’s needs, but Pure Plug is well-suited for both.

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

You can read our complete Njoy Pure Plug review here.

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

2. Lovehoney Jeweled Heart: Budget & Beginner Pick

Why we love Lovehoney Jeweled Heart

The Lovehoney’s Jewelled Heart metal butt plug offers the cutest design you can ask for in an anal toy, and the sparkly flared base looks perfect between any pair of cheeks (we’re sure your partner will agree.)

Although the Lovehoney Jeweled Heart is on the light side, weighing 145 grams, it’s the perfect size to give a slight stretch to your tush, so you’re sure to remember it’s there. Our testers thought it was perfectly designed to entice all the extra-sensitive nerve endings in your bum, leaving you extra wet should you decide to use it with your partner.

It also offers everything you want in a quality model for beginners. A tapered tip for easy insertion and a beautifully adorned flared base that is wide enough to wash away any worries you might have about leaving a plug in your butt.

Unfortunately, this anal toy doesn’t come with a fancy storage bag, but with a price tag of only $26.99, you can’t ask for too many bells and whistles.

Minor issues we found during testing

All-in-all, this is a toy with very few downsides. My only complaint is that the heart-shaped base can be hard to hold onto during removal, especially if you’re liberal with your lube.

It’s also important to note that this size is ideal for beginners, but if you’re more experienced with bum play, you might want to skip this small metal butt plug and head straight for something with a larger head.

Why Lovehoney Jeweled Heart is the most beginner-friendly

After years of testing stainless steel butt plugs, we understand the features that make a product ideal for beginners. We’re confident that the Lovehoney Jeweled Heart is better suited for anal newcomers than any of its competitors.

Our panel loved this the head size and insertable length, and we are sure it’s perfectly calibrated to not cause too much discomfort for newbies.

Another big bonus of using this metal plug as a beginner is that the playful design takes the edge off the sometimes intimidating idea of putting an anal plug in your butt.

There are no ridges or beads to complicate the design, so this adorable plug won’t prove intimidating for anyone with limited exposure to anal play.

And we can’t help but love a toy that adds an element of royalty to the bedroom since it’s never a bad idea to be adorned by something that makes you feel like a queen.

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

• Material: Stainless Steel
• Length: 2.5”
• Head Width: 1.1”
• Weight: 145g / 5.1oz

Pros:

• An adorable design that looks perfect in your tush.
• Very reasonably priced.
• The insertable length is ideal for prostate stimulation.
• Designed to stay in place during extended wear.
• You can use it for temperature play.

Cons:

• On the smaller side.
• The base can be hard to grip.
• Storage bag not included.

3. njoy Pure Fun: Great For Prostate Stimulation

Why we love Njoy Pure Fun

Let’s be honest; we love everything Njoy, including this one specifically designed for backdoor play. The Njoy Pure Fun is definitely the perfect toy but it’s also pretty pleasurable for anyone with a vagina.

A hallmark of all Njoy toys is the extra-smooth surface. It has an almost mirror-like shine thanks to the 316-grade steel it’s crafted from. After unboxing Pure Fun, it’s immediately apparent why this metal anal plug is more of an investment than other metal butt plugs.

But don’t let the $95 price tag scare you. Pure Fun is built to last and guaranteed to deliver pleasure for years.

Aside from being crafted from high-quality medical-grade stainless steel, this toy was also ergonomically designed to hit all of the most sensitive spots in the bum regardless of if you have a penis or vagina.

It includes the perfect amount of curves and bulbs, and using metal instead of silicone means that you don’t have to worry about your toy flexing away from the spots in your bum where you can find the yummiest sensations.

Like all other Njoy products, this opulent toy also comes with its own luxury gift box for you to store in between uses.

Minor issues we found during testing

The creators of the Njoy Pure Fun decided on a metal ring for a base instead of the standard round flared base that you’ll find on most metal products.

This design is more comfortable, especially for anyone who likes wearing their anal toys outside of the house, but the edges could be a little smoother. After a while of non-stop wear, the edges of the ring can start to dig into the skin.

Aside from this minor issue, the only potential drawback of buying this toy is the price, though it’s a worthwhile investment.

Why Njoy PFun is our favorite for prostate play

Our panels always feel confident recommending Njoy products because we can rest assured that their products will always be of the highest quality. We can count on them to provide exceptional pleasure and maintain their shine for years.

The Pure Fun Plug also stands out among the competition because of the extra-curvy design that, when paired with the bulbous tip, tapered head, and ideal length, is sure to hit all the right places.

Although you can use any anal toy for prostate stimulation, it’s always worth investing in a toy created specifically for this kind of play. A few features, like the curved body and slim shaft, make it more comfortable and better suited for arousal where it counts.

• Material: 316-Grade Stainless Steel
• Length: 3.5”
• Head Width: 1.1”
• Weight: 300g / 10.6oz

Pros:

• Both prostate owners and vagina owners can use it.
• Crafted from high-quality metal.
• The ring base makes it safe for anal play.
• Unique extra-curved design for maximum stimulation.

Cons:

• The ring edges can feel sharp during extended wear.
• More expensive than other metal butt plugs.
• Thicker than some alternatives.

4. Rosebuds Swarovski Crystal: Luxury Design

Why we love Rosebuds Swarovski Crystal

What’s not to love about a metal anal plug adorned with a genuine Swarovski crystal? This luxury item is made in France using medical-grade stainless steel and is unique because it has a blinging Swarovski crystal in the center of its flared base.

This toy is for anyone who appreciates luxury and has some room in their budget to swing the above-average price of this toy, which ranges from $85-$230 depending on the size.

Depending on where you’re at on your butt play exploration, you can choose from one of the five size choices the Rosebuds Swarovski Crystal collection offers.

The smallest, which has a 1-inch diameter, is best for beginners (though we might recommend jumping straight to the medium, but more on that later. The extra large, which boasts a 2-inch head diameter, is the better option for more experienced users.

Along with having the option to choose from assorted head sizes, it also features a variety of crystal sizes and colors to adorn the flared base of your toy. You can decide between shades like aquamarine, heliotrope, and black diamond shimmer.

Another detail worth mentioning is that you can choose between a circular or oval base, the latter some people find more comfortable for extended wear. (You can find extended-wear butt plug products in this article.)

Minor issues we found during testing

The fact that the largest size of this toy is a whopping $230 is enough to turn some people away. Even though, in our opinion, it’s well worth the money.

Another possible issue is the round flared base of the smallest size has the potential to be sucked into your anus if you’re not careful, though this is unlikely to happen with the flat base.

For that reason, we recommend skipping straight to the middle size. With a size difference of only 0.18 inches, it’s sure to be suitable for everyone, even beginners.

Why the Rosebuds Swarovski Crystal the preferred luxury butt plug

Nothing says luxury like wearing Swarovski crystal-studded jewelry in your b-hole, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything fancier in the realm of metal butt plugs.

Compared to many of the more sterile or un-impressive designs in some of the competition, this product stands out.

Our team of experts all agree that there’s no such thing as ‘too extra’ when it comes to making yourself feel good, and if rocking this lavish piece is what it takes to help you feel bold and confident in the bedroom, we say go for it.

• Material: Stainless Steel
• Length: 2.95”
• Head Width: 1.18”
• Weight: 176g / 6.2oz

Pros:

• Two base size options.
• Most luxurious metal butt plug on the market.
• Five different size options.
• Variety of color choices.
• Made in France.

Cons:

• You can only purchase it through the official website.
• Nothing exceptional about the design.
• On the expensive side.
• The smallest size could be pulled into the anus.

5. Doxy Aluminum Plug: Great Aluminum Model

Why we love Doxy Aluminium Plug

Doxy sells aluminum and stainless steel butt plugs, with the same insertable length and head size. Essentially they’re the same product, just crafted out of different materials.

There are benefits to branching out and buying a model crafted out of aluminum instead of stainless steel. They’re probably not what you think (not many people have an allergy to medical-grade stainless steel.

A big selling point for any metal anal plug is how well they conduct heat, making them an excellent option for lovers of temperature play, basically making your toy extra hot or cold before you start playing with it.

The Doxy Aluminium Plug is a perfect match for people who can’t get enough temperature play since aluminum holds heat and cold better than stainless steel.

Aluminum butt plugs are also beloved by beginners and anyone who started with a silicone plug since they’re significantly lighter, with this solid aluminum model weighing only 154 grams, less than half as heavy as most other metal toys in this review.

Please note it’s not a small butt plug since the head has a diameter of 1.3 inches, slightly bigger than the 1-inch size many other companies offer for their starter plugs. But the weight almost seems to counterbalance the size since even beginners seem not to have any issues inserting the tapered tip.

It’s also important to note it has an extra long stem and head for added comfort and to provide even more yummy sensations while you wear Doxy.

The finishing touch to this exceptional butt plug is that the creators of this toy decided on a small brushed aluminum tube as a carrying case instead of a simple storage bag. It might not seem like much, but these small details make us fall in love with the Doxy.

Minor issues we found during testing

Not that this is necessarily an issue, but it’s important to note that the weight of this butt plug might be unsatisfying for more experienced users. Anyone who regularly uses a stainless steel butt plug and has gotten used to the fuller presence of more weighty models might not love making the switch to a lighter version.

Why the Doxy Aluminium Plug is the best aluminum butt plug:

We love recommending something that we know lives up to the high standards of our testers, and it’s safe to say that this has our stamp of approval.

Under the description for this toy on the Doxy website, it calls this metal anal plug ‘a real connoisseur’s choice,’ and we couldn’t agree more. From the solid aluminum construction to the unique carrying case it comes in, we have nothing negative to say about this stellar choice.

• Material: Aluminum
• Length: 5.1”
• Head Width: 1.7”
• Weight: 154g / 5,4oz

Pros:

• A longer and skinnier design for added comfort.
• Lightweight and easier to use for extended wear.
• Very reasonably priced at $59.99.
• It comes in a beautiful carrying case.
• Great for temperature play.

Cons:

• Feels less full because of weight.

6. Aneros Tempo: Beginner Prostate Pick

Why we love Aneros Tempo

If you’re a man looking for a stainless steel butt plug that you can use to stimulate your prostate, we’ve got you covered.

The Aneros Tempo is a uni-sex metal anal plug that has uses far beyond just giving men hands-free orgasms. The unique shape makes it perfect for women to use in tandem with flexing and relaxing the kegel muscles to reach a deep and satisfying orgasm through only anal penetration.

Compared to our other review samples, this is a small butt plug with a head diameter of less than 1 inch, making it perfect for beginners who are worried about struggling with insertion.

It also features three different knobs, all of which are separated by a long stem. Any first-timers might want to stick with anal play involving the first knob, with the option to eventually reach the entire insertable length of almost 4 inches.

At this depth, you’re sure to maximize sensation and can experiment with reaching a hands-free orgasm or using your toy as you might anal beads.

Minor issues we found during testing

The Aneros Tempo is on the smaller side for larger men wanting to purchase this to stimulate their prostate. It’s also good to know that the shape and size of this toy make it a poor match for extended play, with chances being high that it will slip out as you move.

If you’re purchasing Temp to achieve a hands-free orgasm, it’s important to note there’s a bit of a learning curve.

Why Aneros Tempo is the best prostate toy for beginners

Our reviewers chose the Aneros Tempo as our favorite prostate toy for beginners because of its small and simplistic design that hits all the right spots with minimal discomfort, even for anal newbies.

Although a certain movement and contraction of the bum muscles is required to reach a hands-free orgasm, this kind of orgasm is accessible to anyone with enough practice — and the pay-off is well worth it.

We love this toy’s unique three-knobbed design, unlike most other prostate toys on the market, and we’re sure you’ll love it too.

• Material: Aluminum
• Length: 2.75”
• Head Width: 0.9”

Pros:

• Super thin stem.
• You can also use it as anal beads.
• The small head is beginner-friendly.
• Very reasonably priced at $70.
• Unique three-knobbed design.
• Great for temperature play.

Cons:

• A learning curve for hands-free orgasm.
• It could be too short to reach some men’s prostate.
• You can’t wear it for extended periods.

7. DOMINIX Deluxe Stainless Steel: Great For Pet Play

Why we love DOMINIX Deluxe Stainless Steel

Wearing a fox tail plug might seem a little bit out there, but in reality, they are one of the most popular metal butt plugs.

The term ‘foxy’ denotes a woman’s prowess and sexual appeal, so it’s only natural that taking on more characteristics of this already alluring creature would be attractive — and trust us, it is.

Regarding furry tail toys, the DOMINIX Deluxe Stainless Steel butt plug is one of our favorites. On one end, you’ll find a small steel plug measuring in with a 1.1-inch head diameter, a size that is suitable for first-timers and more experienced vixens alike.

Attached to the flared base (a must-have for anal play) this metal anal plug sports a 14.5-inch faux-fur tail, perfect for sparking the imagination.

As with all metal plugs, this toy pairs perfectly with temperature play, and if the excitement of wearing a tail isn’t enough, you can try running the head under cold or warm water for an extra dose of sensation.

DOMINIX Deluxe Stainless Steel butt plugs have an insertable length of 2.75 inches, which is ideal for arousing all the nerve endings in your extra-sensitive tush. All-in-all, this is a toy that is guaranteed to delight all the senses.

Minor issues we found during testing

The length of the tail on this faux-fur weighted butt plug is a little on the shorter side. This won’t be an issue for most people, especially those new to tail models, since a shorter length is a great segway into tail play.

But more experienced faux-tail wearers might prefer to find something with a little more gusto.

Why DOMINIX Deluxe Stainless Steel is one of our top picks

Our review panel chose the Aneros Tempo as our favorite prostate toy for beginners because of its small and simplistic design that hits all the right spots with minimal discomfort, even for anal newbies.

Not only is the tail portion of this toy small and made from a material that is easy to care for, but the head size and length of the plug are sure to be non-threatening, even for anyone with limited experience with anal play.

• Material: Stainless Steel
• Insertable Length: 2.75”
• Total Length: 14.5”
• Head Width: 1.2”

Pros:

• Very reasonably priced at $40.
• The tail doesn’t shed and is easy to clean.
• Perfect for temperature play.
• It’s well-sized for beginners.

Cons:

• Only available in one size.
• On the shorter size of faux-tails.

8. Nexus Cestos: With Vibrations!

Why we love Nexus Cestos

We’ll never say no to a toy that vibrates, including one that’s headed for our tush. Since the buzzing sensation of vibrators is designed to enhance sensation, anal vibes pair perfectly with your b-hole, one of the body’s most sensitive parts.

Nexus is one of the only companies that offers a vibrating metal butt plug, and they replicated the design of their best-selling silicone plug to craft the one-of-a-kind Nexus Cestos.

The testers also found it to be on the larger side, with an insertable length of 4 cm and a head width of 1.5 cm, which, when combined with the slight ribbing on the stem, makes it a questionable fit for beginners.

But, for experienced users, using this toy on one of its six vibration options will surely give you an unforgettable orgasm.

Compared to its many silicone counterparts, a unique feature of this vibrating plug is that it pairs perfectly with temperature play, allowing you to place it in icy or warm water to provoke even more arousal.

The cherry on top of this unique vibe is it’s remote-controlled with a two-meter range. You can use this toy to spice up date night or if extended play isn’t your thing, avoid switching between vibe settings with lube-y fingers.

Minor issues we found during testing

The fact is, not everyone loves the feeling of vibrators. If you’re not a massive fan of the feeling of vibes, using them on one of the most sensitive areas of the body probably won’t help your cause.

Why Nexus Cestos is the most recommended vibrating model:

Finding vibrating products isn’t easy to begin with. Most of Nexus Cestos’s competitors can be found on websites from which we wouldn’t recommend purchasing a toy — especially one for your bum.

Nexus Cestos offers an above-average build from high-quality stainless steel, remote controllability, and a size sure to thrill all the senses. Everything that our test panel could ask for from a metal plug.

• Vibrator Type: Rechargeable
• Material: Stainless Steel
• Length: 4”
• Head Width: 1.6”

Pros:

• Remote-controlled
• Uniquely shaped flared base for comfortable extended wear
• Ribbed stem for added sensation
• One of the only vibrating metal butt plugs on the market
• Waterproof, so you can use it with cold or warm water for temperature play

Cons:

• On the expensive side at $115
• Limited range on the remote control

9. Rear Assets: Rose Gold Model

Why we love Rear Assets

This model is the ultimate metal plug for bums that are new to being played with and those making the transition from silicone to metal thanks to its small design and lightweight aluminum body. And, of course, the jeweled base is just the icing on the cake.

Aluminum butt plugs are a great choice for anyone wanting to steer clear of putting a plastic toy in their bum but can’t get over the lightweight feel of non-metal butt plugs. Rear Assets weighs a dainty 80 grams, half the weight of the lightest stainless steel butt plug featured in this review.

Aside from its lightness, aluminum is also better for temperature play. After running these metal toys under icy or warm water, you’ll find that they retain their heat longer than any other models.

If you’re new to butt play, Rear Asset’s 2-inch insertable length and 1-inch head diameter make it ideal for easy insertion and removal with minimal discomfort.

Minor issues we found during testing

One of the biggest selling points of metal butt plugs compared to silicone is they are heavier, making it difficult for you to forget they’re there. If your chosen butt plug has always been stainless steel, you might be disappointed by aluminum toys’ lack of presence.

Why Rear Assets is a good aluminum butt plug for beginners

Our panels know just how difficult breaking into the world of bum play can be, and choosing a toy that is too big or heavy turns some people off of butt plugs and their potential pleasure forever.

From being small and lightweight to featuring an adorable jewel, this Rear Assets stands out among the competition as perfectly suited for anyone testing the waters.

• Material: Aluminum
• Length: 2”
• Head Width: 1”
• Weight: 79g / 2.8oz

Pros:

• Made from aluminum
• Beautiful bejeweled base
• Perfectly sized for beginners
• Reasonably priced at $27
• Ideal for temperature play

Cons:

• Not as heavy as traditional metal anal plugs
• On the small side for experienced users

10. Rouge Threaded: Ribbed Model

Why we love Rouge Threaded

The Rough Threaded makes the search for a ribbed metal butt plug easy. It has strategically placed ridges to help maximize the sensation of bum play and just the right amount of bling to look good while doing so.

A threaded or ribbed weighted butt plug offers more variety for anal play. This versatile toy adds a heightened level of sensation as your anus muscles contract around the wavy surface and can be combined with a gentle thrust to send ripples of sensation through your entire body.

The base, adorned with genuine crystal, is also large enough for you to wear this toy all day without worry, and with five color options to choose from, you’re sure to find something you love.

In addition, the various sizes in this set are designed to accommodate everything from first-timers to anal play professionals.

The smallest size has an itty bitty insertable length of 2.25 inches and a head diameter of just under one inch. Their large metal butt plug boasts a 1.5-inch head diameter, an insertable length of close to 4 inches, and a sizable gem to boot.

Despite these unique features, this medical-grade stainless steel butt plug comes at a very reasonable price of $30 for the small and $45 for the large.

Minor issues we found during testing

Although Rough Threaded is the ideal size for first-time users, the added sensation of the ridges can be too much, especially when taking the toy in and out of your tush.

Why Rouge Threaded is the best ribbed butt plug

Our review panel loves having a variety of toys to recommend to our readers since what feels good looks different for everybody.

Threaded metal butt plugs are perfect for providing an extra dose of sensation but finding a high-quality ribbed plug isn’t easy. We trust that Rouge Threaded can deliver that wow factor safely and effectively compared to the competition. And, of course, we love a sex toy with bling!

• Material: Stainless Steel
• Length: 4”
• Head Width: 1.5”
• Weight: 360g / 12.7oz

Pros:

• Three size options
• A jeweled base with five color options
• Ribs add extra sensation
• Reasonably priced
• Perfect for temperature play

What Is A Metal Butt Plug?

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.

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 butt plugs. 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.

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 butt plug 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long can you leave a metal butt plug in?

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to wearing metal butt plugs for extended periods. A beginner might only be able to handle a small size for a few minutes, while someone more experienced users can keep a large size in for several hours.

What lube for a metal butt plug?

One of the benefits of using metal instead of silicone toys is you won’t be limited to water-based lube. Since the anus isn’t self-lubricating, sticking to a silicone-based lube is probably your best bet since they aren’t absorbed as quickly and generally lasts the longest.

Whichever you decide, using lubricant is an easy way to enhance your sexual well-being and prevent negative implications from experimenting with anal play. [1]

Which type is more comfortable, metal or silicone?

While most people think a silicone butt plug would be softer and more comfortable, wearing a metal plug has advantages. Metal toys cause less friction after being inserted, so they’re generally more comfortable to wear for long periods and require less lubrication.

This lack of friction also makes inserting and removing your metal toy more comfortable.

How to take a metal butt plug out?

Contrary to what you might imagine, taking a weighted butt plug out is easy. Grab the base and begin pulling it, slow and steady. As you remove your toy, take deep breaths and consciously work to relax your sphincter muscles as it moves.

How much for a platinum metal butt plug?

If you’re looking for a luxury model, try checking out the Rosebuds stainless steel toy featuring real Swarovski crystals crafted into the base. This toy isn’t cheap, with a simple plug costing nearly $200.

How to remove a metal butt plug stuck in the anus?

If you’re dealing with a metal butt plug — or any foreign object — being stuck inside your anus, it’s a good idea to head to the hospital as soon as possible. There, your doctor might be able to retrieve it using a speculum and BDSM forceps, but in up to 23% of these cases, surgery is required. [2]

One of the essential things when experimenting with anal play is finding anal plugs that feature a broad enough base that won’t get stuck where the sun doesn’t shine.

How to make a metal butt plug feel comfortable?

If you’re new to using anal toys, there’s a good chance your toy will feel uncomfortable the first few times you use it. It’s normal since it can be hard to relax, and your sphincter muscles won’t be accustomed to expanding.

Adding more lube can help limit the friction between your skin and your toy, as can sizing down your toy, but if that doesn’t help, don’t fret! Continue using your weighted butt plug and keep it in for as long as you can manage.

Eventually, your butt will get used to the sensation, and the scales will tip in your favor.

How to put in a metal butt plug?

To start, make sure that both your toy and anus are well-lubricated. Then, you or your partner can insert the tip and slowly push it deeper into the anus, pausing for a moment if you experience discomfort.

It might also be helpful to use your fingers to help warm up your butthole before inserting your metal toy.

Can metal butt plugs rust?

No, they shouldn’t rust if it’s made from high-quality materials like aluminum or stainless steel. If you notice rust on your toy, you should immediately stop using it and consider investing in a quality product.

How to choose the butt plug size?

For beginners, I recommend using a smaller size since anal play can be uncomfortable initially. Generally, these toys should be no longer than three inches and less than one inch wide.

As you become more experienced with bum play, increasing the size of your toy can help get you ready for bigger things or help you maximize all the good sensations.

What do metal butt plugs feel like?

Compared to medical-grade silicone butt plugs, metal sex toys will feel colder when inserted but tend to go in more easily since there will be less friction between your skin and the toy.

Once inside, you might notice your weighted butt plug feels heavier and stays lubricated much longer than products made of plastic. This added lubrication can keep your toy feeling comfortable inside you and make removal significantly easier.
