The Precious Heart anal plug is meant for, well, anal use. A precious gem sits on the end of the plug in a heart shape, alluring users to its beauty and shine. Imagine undressing your partner and the plug catching your eye. It's like unwrapping a gift that shines like a Tiffany's diamond. Perfect for beginners, the plug is great for users with little to no experience and those who aren't used to being stretched to their limit. With a little bit of lubricant, this plug slips easily inside, and rests so that the gem looks beautiful on the user's backdoor.

This plug can be worn in the shower, the bedroom, or on-the-go. It is travel-friendly due to its size, and can easily slip into a carry-on or handbag if users wish to take the toy with them on a trip. If TSA decides to search your bags, however, this plug is easily recognized for its use, so if you're easily embarrassed you might want to rethink taking it with you. The plug has a flare on it, but users should still take caution when inserting this toy. If you feel like the plug may become lost, do not risk using the plug anally, as it may slip inside of different anatomies due to its smaller size.

If you decide on impact play, refrain from hitting your partner on their backside with this plug inserted, as the rigid material and weight of the plug could possibly cause damage. Always use caution when playing with metal or glass toys. Again, if you're worried about the size of this toy, do not wear it while walking around or sitting, and always keep an eye on the plug when playing, as it may have the potential to become "lost".

Precious Heart by Eden Toys is made from metal and rates a 9 out of 10 on the Eden safety scale. It's a Zinc Alloy according to the product page and is nickel free. Metal is hypoallergenic, non-porous, latex and phthalate-free. It has an ultra shiny finish and is completely rigid. When first taken out of the package, the toy is cold to the touch, but quickly warms to body heat. There isn't a smell or taste to the toy. I am unaware if the toy is cadmium-free.

The plug is completely smooth, and there aren't any textures to the toy at all. The heart on the base is faceted, and is made from either some sort of glass, or a hard acrylic material. It is attached to the base by glue and seems like it's relatively secure. You won't want to drop this toy on a hard floor or concrete, as it can damage the metal or cause the setting to fall out. Handle your toy with care, and the material should live up to a lifetime of use.

The material adds to the sensation by holding hot and cold well. You can use this toy for temperature play by placing it in an ice bath or a warm bath of water.

The shape of this plug is like most other plugs out there. It has a sort of a spade shape, as in the one from a deck of playing cards. It consists of a top portion in a pointed and easy to insert shape, a neck which helps you clench around, and a base, which keeps the toy from slipping inside of you. This particular plug is more like that of a luxury item; one which you can grace your partner with as a way of saying you love them. The base of this plug is accented with a beautiful, sparkling light pink gem, which will not only be a treat for your lover, but also for you when your partner wears it.

The size of this plug leans more toward beginners, as it is fairly small, coming in at a tiny bit over 3 inches in total length (including the base), and 1-1/8ths of an inch in diameter at the plugs widest point. The plug is 4 inches in circumference at its widest point and the neck diameter comes in at 1/2 of an inch. Users who are used to taking bigger toys would be better off looking elsewhere, as this plug is pretty tiny. It's a compact design with beginner users in mind.

While the toy does not have a realistic look, nor is it modeled after a human penis at all, it cannot be mistaken for anything other than a butt plug. While it is small, if left out and noticed, anyone would be able to tell where this goes, and what it's for. If you're easily embarrassed, simply store the toy in a drawer or in the pouch provided with the toy. Yes, this toy can be traveled with, but if TSA checks your bags, again, the toy will not be mistaken for anything else.

The best thing about this toy is that it's a treat for the user or the person who gifts this to the user. Users will have their own little secret underneath their clothes if they choose to wear the plug throughout the day (provided it feels comfortable enough to do so). The plug sits comfortably inside of the user, with just enough weight to know that it's there. The added weight of the plug feels wonderful and filling when both lying still or moving around/walking. If the user should feel like the plug is slipping in too far, it's probably best not to use this plug at all, and move onto something a little bigger.

The little gem on the end of this plug looks fantastic when it's sitting on the outside of you or your partner, and can be an additional visual stimulant to intercourse or foreplay. This added touch adds a bit of a fun, quirky layer to whatever the user is wearing, and imagine the surprise of your partner when he/she takes off your clothes to find it! Presentation in the bedroom is just another added layer of sensuality, and this lovely plug is an arousing sight to partners who are more visually inclined.

The plug's base isn't the best, and if you're concerned about it, it's better to be safe than sorry. Everyone's anatomy is different, and this is one of those times where if your orifice allows, go for it. If you feel like the toy is slipping in too far upon initial insertion, remove it immediately. An ER visit is never fun, so always use caution when playing with anal toys. If the plug does work for your anatomy, it feels comfortable in use, and the material doesn't create friction or drag along your insides.

Caring for your new anal plug is easy as pie. Since the toy is metal, you can wash it in warm, soapy water using a soft bristled brush to clean the rhinestone accent, rub it down with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and rinse it after, place it in the top rack of your dishwasher (if you think the rhinestone can handle it), boil it (again if the rhinestone can handle it), wipe it down with a toy wipe, or rinse it with a toy cleaner. Once you've thoroughly cleaned and rinsed your toy, wipe it down with a soft cloth to dry. If your rhinestone should become dislodged and come off, you can glue the rhinestone back down with superglue and allow it to dry overnight. Once the toy is dry you can store it in the velveteen pouch it came with or another spot where it won't get bumped around and dinged up.

Always check your toy for scratches or indentations. If the metal becomes rough, scratched up, or bent, discard the plug immediately. Using a damaged toy runs the risk of the user becoming internally injured which could result in infection or worse. Always check your new toys for rough edges or deep scratches before using them for the first time. If any damage is found to the toy, contact customer service and have them look into exchanging or getting your money back.

All lubricants are compatible with this plug. Whether you want to use silicone, water or oil based lubricants is entirely up to you.

The toy was shipped discreetly in a cardboard box without the contents blasted on the shipment label. It was nestled beneath air pillows to keep the toy from bumping around during transit, and the receipt was laying on top of the air pillows as soon as you open the box. The toy itself came packaged inside of a foam wrapper, wrapped inside of a foam bag with a rubber band holding it on, inside of a black velveteen bag with drawstrings. This can be used for storage if you don't want your toy to get nicks and scratches on the surface. The velveteen bag was then packed inside of a thick Ziploc bag with a UPC sticker on it.

There weren't any instructions on the care or use included, but with this particular toy, it's pretty straightforward. The velveteen bag that was included is a lovely touch, and made the item feel a little more expensive. While the packaging was minimal, I really enjoyed the presentation overall. This item can be gifted as is, or you could get a box or gift bag to put it in if you're gifting this to a friend or lover.

This plug worked well for me as I lean more toward the beginner spectrum of anal toys. I'm always very cautious with anal toys because of stories I've heard about ER trips. I didn't sit with this toy inside of me, and I made sure I felt comfortable with it inserted when I was walking around the house doing everyday things. I didn't have any trouble with it slipping too far in, or slipping out when I was moving around, even with the weight behind it. When using this toy, remember to lubricate it thoroughly before inserting.

The narrow neck of this toy worked well for me to clench down on, and I didn't worry too much about the base going inside of me. However, this won't be a plug for everyone, as I stated above. The gemstone on my plug was set slightly crooked in the metal, but it hasn't budged during cleaning or use. If it does happen to fall out, I'll reset it better.

My partner thoroughly enjoyed the weight of the toy, and I thoroughly enjoyed looking at her from behind. She said that the weight of it had a nice pull to it, but not so much that she had a fear of losing it while moving and walking around. She stated that this toy is a great tease, and that it felt wonderful when I entered her vaginally with one of my strap-on toys. The feeling of being completely filled caused her to orgasm within minutes after wearing this plug for an extended period of time during the day. She also mentioned that I should note that the tip did not poke her in any way.
