Dorcel Diamond Anal Plug Medium Black

The Dorcel Diamond Anal Plug Medium is a black metal plug with a flat, diamond-shaped base that catches the light. As a diamond anal plug it's more about style than sparkle-for-sparkle's-sake: the glossy black finish looks sleek and a little dramatic, and the 88 g aluminium body feels heavier and harder than any silicone plug. It's the middle of three sizes, made for people who've tried anal play and want more weight without going to the largest.

Small, medium or large: where the M fits

Dorcel makes the Diamond plug in three sizes, and the main difference you'll feel is weight. The Small is 53 g and aimed at first-timers. This Medium is 88 g, a noticeable jump that gives a firmer sense of fullness. The Large is 160 g, which is heavy enough to be meant for experienced players only. A retailer listing gives the Medium as roughly 8.3 cm long and 3.4 cm across the widest part, so it's a real step up if you've only used a slim starter plug.

If you're new to anal play, the Small is the kinder place to begin. If a small plug already feels easy, the Medium is the logical next move.

What metal adds

Metal is solid and completely unyielding, so the plug keeps its exact shape inside you and you feel the rounded bulb clearly. The extra weight sits low and moves a little as you shift, a sensation many people find more interesting than the passive presence of a light silicone plug. Metal also reacts to temperature: Dorcel describes it as thermo-reactive, so warming or cooling it changes the feel completely.

How to use a diamond plug safely

Take your time. Relax, use plenty of water-based lube on the plug and on yourself, and press the rounded tip in gradually as you breathe out. The tapered shape opens you slowly towards the widest point; after that, the narrow neck lets your muscles close and the plug settles. The flat diamond base stays outside and supports the plug so it can't travel in. For removal, breathe out and ease it out slowly.

For temperature play, rest it in warm or cool water for a few minutes, dry it, and test it on your wrist before use. Avoid ice, the freezer and very hot water.

Wearing it with a partner

The flat base sits neatly between the cheeks, so the plug stays comfortable when you're lying down or sitting, and the black jewel gives a partner something to look at. Plenty of couples use a plug during oral or vaginal sex for extra fullness, or as a warm-up before anal sex. Expect vaginal penetration to feel tighter while it's in.

Cleaning and storage

Wash it before and after every use with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner. Pay attention to the edge where the jewel meets the base, since lube likes to collect there, then dry it completely. Keep it in a soft pouch so the black finish doesn't get scuffed by other toys.
