Over the past 3 or so years I've really come to enjoy butt plugs and metal anal toys. I've long wanted one of these ones with a jewel on the exterior, if for nothing else than the visual and photographic opportunities. Metal butt plugs are very hefty and pleasurable and with the right amount of lube will move sensuously against your insides and prostate. The heft will pull down and stimulate your anus and subconsciously cause you to contact voluntarily and involuntarily to keep those kegels in shape.

Metal toys are great for extended wear, temperature play, sharing, anal conditioning, wearable during sex, and will last a lifetime.

You can use it solo or with a partner. I personally find it most appealing to wear during sex or have my girlfriend wear it during oral or vaginal sex.

Another bonus is they are waterproof and have no moving parts, so you can wear them anywhere...tub, shower, pool etc.

The precious heart is made of heavy zinc alloy and feels quite heavy and gorgeous to look at. Stainless steel is highly durable. You can boil it, soak in a 10% bleach solution, wear it in the bath/shower, cleanse with toy cleaners, soap and water, etc. to keep it squeaky clean. With normal care it will last a lifetime.

Being solid steel, it is, of course, waterproof and holds temperature very well. The workmanship is excellent. The bulb is very smooth and has anal friendly shape. The handle is tapered and fits snugly and securely between your cheeks when inserted.

The Precious heart is gorgeous to look at. From the teardrop shape to the beautiful pink heart shaped jewel. Just a joy to look at and touch. It is 3" long and fully insertable, with the heart base being the safety net. It has a large taper from about 1/2" to a max 1 1/8" width, so you won't have to worry about this one accidentally falling out. It is very secure. From the nose it has a gentle sloping taper for easy insertion. Great for beginner or intermediate users. Really anyone but size queens should enjoy. It measures in a t 5.5oz and is a nice heft.

The plug was easy to insert and stayed put without fear of falling out. There is quite a large taper to keep it secure. It felt pleasurable during sexual play and walking around the house. It looks cool too. My only minor nibble would be it was harder than other plugs to grab and pull out. You have to grab it with your finger tips and that can be tricky with lube on your fingers, but it's not something that should stop you from buying this toy. After all, it wouldn't look so good without the jewel and this is a plug you might want to wear for longer periods. The shape should be comfortable for most people. Only size queens might wish for something larger.

The Precious Heart can be stored anywhere really, but a box or a pouch would be best to assure it does not get scratched (just in case you stored it with other metallic objects). Otherwise, it is very easy to care for and sterilize.

Cleaning is a breeze. You can wash it in hot soap and water, boil in water for 3 minutes, or toss it into a 10% bleach solution. You could certainly toss it in the dishwasher as well.

Nothing is safer than stainless steel for sharing. It is nonporous, easily sterilized, and surgical grade. Stainless steel is a 10 on the EF safety scale. If you are looking to spend this much, you probably already are educated about such matters.

Metal is compatible with any type of lube, so feel free to grab your favorite water-based, oil-based or silicone-based lube. Even coconut oil is one people rave about using for anal that lasts and is all natural.

Packaging was minimal, but it comes with a felt storage pouch. It was wrapped securely in paper as well within the pouch.

This is a very comfortable and easy to insert plug. A beginner should be able to use this or an intermediate anal player even should enjoy it. It looks great inserted. The base can get a little uncomfortable for longer wear. I kinda figured that, but it's not too bad. I have other metal plugs better suited for that. This is more the type you might use for DP or bedtime play.
