Dorcel Diamond Butt Plug Rose Gold Large

The Dorcel Diamond Butt Plug in Large is a metal jewel plug with a rose gold finish and a faceted gem set into its flat base. As diamond butt plugs go, this one is as much about the shape as the sparkle: a rounded, tapered body that's easy to start, and a base that sits flat between the cheeks. The large is the biggest of Dorcel's three sizes, so it suits people who already know what a plug feels like and want a fuller stretch.

How the large size compares

Dorcel makes the Diamond Plug in small, medium and large. Retailer listings for the large put it at about 9.5 cm long and 4.1 cm across its widest point. That's roughly 1.6 inches wide, which is a real stretch if you're used to finger-width toys. If you've comfortably worn a plug around 3 to 3.5 cm wide, the large is a natural next step. If you haven't, start with a smaller size and come back to this one later; the width of the bulb, not the length, is what decides whether a plug feels good.

Metal weight and temperature play

Metal feels different from silicone. It's completely rigid, very smooth and heavier, so a plug like this presses on the inside in a way you notice when you walk, sit down or tense your muscles. Dorcel makes it from aluminum alloy, which is lighter than stainless steel but still feels solid in the hand. Metal also holds temperature. Run it under warm water for a minute and it feels cozy going in; rinse it under cool water for a crisper, wake-up sensation. Test it on your inner wrist first, and never heat it in a microwave or chill it in the freezer.

Inserting a metal plug comfortably

Warm the plug to body temperature unless you're planning cool play, then coat it generously with lube. Because metal has no give, the stretch comes from your body relaxing, not the toy squeezing down. Press the tip in slowly as you breathe out, let your muscles get used to it, then ease it past the widest point. The body narrows toward the base, and once it's in, the flat base rests snugly against you so the plug can't slide too far. To take it out, relax, hold the base and draw it out slowly while breathing out.

Wearing it with a partner

A jewel plug is partly about the view. The rose gold base sits on show between the cheeks, which makes it a playful addition to lingerie, a bath together or a slow round of foreplay where a partner gets to see it. Wearing it during vaginal sex adds fullness and makes penetration feel tighter for both of you. The plug's weight can shift as you move, so start in positions where you stay fairly still, such as lying on your side, before trying anything more energetic.

Lube and care

Metal works with any lube, water-based or silicone. For anal play, a thicker silicone lube lasts longest and needs topping up less often. After use, wash the plug in warm soapy water or with a toy cleaner, rinse it and dry it well, paying attention to the edge where the gem meets the base. It's waterproof, so a bath is fine. Store it in a soft pouch so the finish and the jewel don't get scuffed by other toys.
