XR Gemstones Rose Quartz Heart Butt Plug – Medium

The XR Gemstones Rose Quartz Heart is a metal butt plug finished with a heart of genuine pink rose quartz. The body is a smooth, nickel-free aluminum alloy with a classic teardrop shape, and this is the medium size: 3.2 inches insertable and 1.6 inches at the widest point. It's a plug you wear as much for the look as the feel, since the stone is what shows once it's in.

How a metal butt plug feels

Metal is hard, completely smooth and heavier than silicone. With lube it slides in with very little drag, and once seated the weight gives a gentle downward pull that many people find adds to the sensation of fullness. It doesn't flex at all, so the shape you feel going in is exactly the shape it keeps. If you've only used soft silicone plugs, expect this to feel firmer and more noticeable when you move.

Is the medium the right size?

At 1.6 inches across, the medium is a step up from a starter plug. If you can comfortably take a finger or two, or have used a small plug, it's a reasonable next size. Complete beginners usually do better starting smaller, since a hard metal plug gives less room for error than a soft one. The 3.7-inch overall length includes the neck and the gem, so the insertable part is shorter than the box measurement suggests.

Putting it in and wearing it

Warm up first and use plenty of lube on both the plug and yourself. Insert it slowly with gentle pressure, breathing out as the widest part passes; it will then settle on its narrower neck. Start with 15 to 30 minutes and build up. Metal works with most lubes, including silicone, which lasts longer when you wear it for a while. Remove it slowly, using the same breathing.

Temperature play

Metal takes on temperature quickly. Rest the plug in a bowl of warm water for a soothing feel, or cool water for a crisp one, and test it on your wrist before use. Avoid ice-cold or very hot water, which can be uncomfortable on sensitive skin and may stress the gem setting.

Is it the right pick for you?

The Gemstones plug suits people who enjoy anal play and want something decorative to wear during sex, a date night at home or a photo. It's less suited to first-time plug users, and anyone who wants a soft, flexible feel should choose silicone from our butt plugs collection. If you like it, the same idea often comes in several sizes, so it's worth checking which size you're buying before you order. For a far larger challenge, the XR Gigantor XXXL plug is at the opposite extreme.

Care

Wash the plug with warm water and mild soap, rinse and dry it well. Don't soak or boil it, and avoid harsh cleaners on the gem, which can dull its polish. Store it wrapped in a soft cloth so the stone doesn't get scratched.
