The Aluminum Mini is a unique butt plug because of its size, weight, and appearance. The plug is made from aluminum, which means it is non-porous and phthalates free; a very safe material for anal play. At the widest point the plug is 1 ¼-inches around with a 4-inch diameter, the neck is 3/8 of an inch wide. Its size is small but there is an option to get one that is one inch longer. It held water based lubricate very well and slid in with ease thanks in part to its pointed tip.

The awesomeness of aluminum is put on display by this butt plug. Because this plug is made from aluminum it can NEVER rust so you won’t have to worry about the appearance of the plug changing ever. Aluminum is a lightweight metal so wearing it is more for the pressure then the weight. Aluminum is very good at conducting temperature so it is great for warm or cool play. But make sure not to put it in the microwave to heat it up, it will spark and your microwave would be destroyed. I recommend using water to whatever temp you choice, but it will warm to the bodies temp rather quickly. Lastly aluminum is non-porous and chemical free; it can be washed in the dishwasher or hand washed, just like silverware.

It comes in a box with one of those clear plastic slip over lids, similar to a shoebox if the lid was clear. In the box there is a fabric-lined mold that holds the plug in place. As far as advertisements go it simply states Aluminum Mini but doesn’t reference any specific use for the plug. Taking the plug out of the case and holding it got me excited! The metal is polished really well and has a great shine to it; also you can see rings all around it from when it was made but you can’t feel them. I think it is safe to call this the Mac of butt plugs because of its new age techy appearance, very cool. The jewel in the bottom didn’t impress me much but it wasn’t bad either, perhaps having a choice in colors would have been nice. But maybe it is because I am a dude; jewels don’t really do anything for me.

Half the pleasure of this plug is getting it inside your butt. The smooth surface allows for gentle massaging and lube feels really nice because it never is absorbed into the plug or wears off. I personally found the point was beneficial to easing it in and the growth in width is gradual. Though there is a quick reduction in width once you get past the widest part. Once the plug is inside I found that I wished I had gotten the longer one for prostate stimulation. The 3 ½- inches just weren’t enough to reach my prostate but I could tell I was close, so for any man looking at this plug opt for the longer because it will really add to your anal play experience if your prostate is being massaged. But this is a plug and not a prostate massager, and regardless feels great in your ass. Other then that though the weight felt nice, not too much but noticeable enough so you knew you had a chunk of metal in your butt.

As for extended wear I wouldn’t recommend it for this plug. The neck is very short so the base is tight to your ass, which feels nice but can get irritating since the base is round and won’t conform. Also the base is not the largest, I really don’t think it would manage to over insert for me but I am pretty tight, someone that handles larger toys frequently may want to shy away from this plug. Because the neck is so short and the base is so tight to your ass it can be hard to grip, I managed without trouble but after extended wear, if you had tightened up on the neck it maybe hard to get a grip on the base.

All and all I enjoyed my experience with the Aluminum Mini. I enjoyed the metal because of its appearance, weight and safety. The feel of the toy is great for a warm up or for someone new to anal play, but it would leave an experienced anal player wanting more. As with any sex toy hygiene is a must so make sure to clean the plug after each session. If you hand wash make sure to use warm water and anti-bacterial soap, other wise the dishwasher works perfect. Make sure it is dry before storing again and you will never have to replace this toy, only upgrade to different sizes and shapes.

Lately I have been trying a few new toys out anally, and this little guy still has that something special that I like. I have noticed now that the diameter difference from widest to the neck, adds a lot to the joy of placing and removing this toy over and over. Because of the narrow neck it isn't much good for loosening things up especially since I need to warm up before even using it. But it is so cool that I can't help but want to use it!

I feel that this toy is not a staple for anal toys, it doesn't help loosen, but it isn't large either. It is just a fun anal toy that looks cool and feels amazing!
