I have tried many sex toys over the years, and if I’d have to put a number on it, I’d say it’s in the hundreds. When testing out such a large volume of anything, it’s natural that I would be happily surprised with some and highly dissatisfied with others. I was excited to try out the Lovehoney Jewelled Heart Metal Butt Plug. Right off the bat, it’s a super cute-looking toy, it’s very feminine with its coloring and design, and I adore the pink heart gem; how could you not?
Lovehoney Secret Shine is perfect for anyone looking for an affordable and pretty-looking butt plug. It has added fun to my sex life and would make a fantastic gift to a partner. But I am a little disappointed there’s no storage bag. The metal material can easily get scratched, and I wished this was something that came free with the toy.
Who Should Try It? Lovehoney Jewelled Heart is for anyone who has already tried butt play and is ready to up the size; although it’s pink, it’s not exclusively for any gender. So if you love pink, hearts, and shiny things, it’s definitely for you.
Who Can Skip It? It’s not for beginners and definitely not for anyone allergic to metal. I’d also say stay clear if you hate pink, as the gem is a shiny pink heart, but that’s hard to miss as it’s in the photo and the description.
You Can Buy It on the official Lovehoney store for $26.99. Use code MSTG15 for 15% off!

About The Brand
The Lovehoney brand is a fantastic online store; they sell everything from sex toys to lingerie for any gender, kink, or sexual orientation. Honestly, anything you need to feel sexy, they have it; anything you need to have some extra fun in the bedroom, they’ve got it all in one place.
In addition, their delivery time is impressive, and they frequently have discounts, so I advise often checking so you don’t miss a great deal. They even have a student discount, which I used many times when I was a broke and horny student.
Unboxing and First Impressions
Packaging
For me, unboxing is nearly as exciting as using a butt plug.
The package arrived three days after ordering; Lovehoney’s delivery time has always been fast, which I love because I am incredibly impatient.
It came in simple brown packaging, as all their stuff does, making it super discrete. I am never home when the Postman drops off packages, so very grateful it was not in a prominent box.
Unfortunately, I thought the packaging was a bit cheap, especially the plastic part holding the toy itself; it was a bit hard getting the heart-shaped butt plug out of the plastic. However, the box had instructions on how to use it and some other cute information I liked.
The material was good quality and smoothed to the touch, with a nice weight when holding it. I was so excited that I almost forgot my disappointment about it not coming with a fabric bag. Most other butt plugs I have purchased come with a small storage pouch. And it could be easily added and make a huge difference for others when purchasing.
Materials and Specs

Design
This jeweled butt plug is pretty straightforward with no electronic abilities. It’s solid smooth metal, safe for all skin types, and because it’s metal, you can play around with the temperature using warm water or putting it in the freezer for a few minutes.
There aren’t any other features to mention, but sometimes a simple toy is the best way to go. The heart-shaped (fake) sapphire stone is super cute, and my partner said they enjoyed looking at it when inserted.
My Personal Experience
Ok, so here it is; my experience with the Lovehoney Secret Shine has been incredible.
Ease Of Use
First and foremost, the heart anal plug is very feminine, petite, and you can easily tuck it away in a drawer or, if you’re a bit more of a collector, in your sex box. Yes, a sex box is a thing, And I’m sure at least 30% of people reading this are like, yep, that’s a thing.
My partner and I love adding butt play to our sex lives, but it has taken a while to get to the point where I can confidently try this size. Testing this was so exciting; not only did I love the glitzy look of it, but this was my next step with butt plugs.
The material makes for a very comfortable insertion if lube is used. Once inside, it hits all the right spots. And it stays comfortably inserted even when moving, even if kept in when having sex; it also definitely added to my orgasm.
I always opt for a water-based lube as it’s versatile with the range of toys you can use it with. Additionally, it doesn’t stain your sheets, something I wish I had known years ago; that was a costly lesson to learn.
Stimulations
Since its arrival, I’ve used it twice now with my partner and truly feel the difference material-wise compared to the many others I have tried over the last year. I still can’t get over the beautiful pink gemmed heart. It adds something to the bedroom, don’t ask me what. Perhaps some unknown my little pony fantasy.
Because of the metal material, we finally got to try temperature play for the first time, and I must say, I did not know how incredible it would be. We did hot and cold, and although I enjoyed the cold more, both styles were terrific and new sensations that I could only have tried with a metal toy.
For my partner and me, using a butt plug is a beautiful add-on to our sex lives; we don’t want it to play a leading role in the show. So I do feel this little toy is a must-have. And I can’t believe something that only costs $26.99 is now one of my favorites.
My partner is so amazed at my enjoyment that they want to try it, too!
I am still a little disappointed there’s no cloth bag for storage. I feel this metal material can easily get scratched, and I wished this was something that came free with the toy.

Review Summary

| Overall Rating | |
This cute heart-shaped buttplug is ideal for anyone looking for an affordable and pretty-looking butt plug to either go to the next level in their bedroom butt play or stay on the medium/ intermediate level they are already at.
However, it’s not the right purchase if you are looking for fancy features, crazy colors, or a vibrating toy. The LovehoneySecret Shine heart gem butt plug is simple, pink, sparkly, good quality, and so much fun.
If jewelled butt plugs are new to your sexcapades, it’s not, and I repeat, not the correct product to start with, as it’s bigger than many others. But if you are not a newbie and love butt play as much as I do, I highly recommend adding this to your arsenal.
It has added much more fun to my sex life and would make a fantastic gift to a partner or friend. Whatever your reason for buying it, you will not be disappointed. I promise!
Pros
- Smooth and high-quality material.
- Cute design.
- Affordability.
- Great size for intermediate levels.
Cons
- It doesn’t come with a material bag.
- No color options in this design.
- Not for beginners.
- The packaging is not giftable.
Who Is This For?
The Lovehoney Jewelled Heart Metal Butt Plug is for anyone who has already tried butt play and is ready to up the size; although it’s pink, it’s not exclusively for any gender. So if you love pink, hearts, and shiny things, this is definitely for you.
Who Is This Not For?
This butt plug is not for anyone at the beginning of their butt play journey, so there are no beginners and definitely not anyone allergic to metal. I’d also say stay clear if you hate pink as the gem is a shiny pink heart, but that’s hard to miss as it’s in the photo and the description.
I am Sold! Where Can I Buy It?
You can buy the heart-shaped anal plug at the official Lovehoney store.

Lelo Hugo
The Lelo Hugo is electric with multiple features and a remote control. It’s also much more expensive than the Lovehoney Secret Shine but is more affordable and accessible. I also feel this toy is geared towards men, whereas the Lovehoney Secret Shine is more feminine.
B-Vibe Rimming Butt Plug
The B-Vibe butt plug is a super cool product designed to mimic the real thing, or so they say. I still find this a bit too fancy and extreme for constant use. The significant price difference is something to look at as well.
It makes sense as it’s a very cool toy, and if you’re looking for something electronic with more features, this is a great buy. If you prefer a no-frills, affordable, simple metal butt plug, the Lovehoney Secret Shine is your best bet.
You can find more metal butt plugs here. And here are more jeweled butt plugs.
How To Clean and Store?
Due to its material, it’s straightforward to clean; it doesn’t even need a special toy cleaner. You can use regular soap and water, and I usually fill a bowl of warm water and soap and soak it for a few minutes. Just make sure no soap is left.
The metal material can easily get scratched, so best to store it in a fabric bag. Or a protective case to limit the damage. Overall the anal sex toy is straightforward to keep clean and store effectively.
