First Impressions

I originally ordered a different toy. So, I opened the box expecting to find a different toy. Upon seeing a shiny, silver bag with three, vibrant purple butt plugs inside, I was pleasantly surprised.




Material

When I removed the toys from the packaging, I was struck by the flexibility and squishiness of the material. All three plugs are made from thermoplastic rubber, or TPE/TPR. Click here to learn more about TPE. While this material is a 7/10 on the safety scale, for beginners to anal play, the material makes the plugs extremely comfortable. With other butt plugs, once I insert the plug, I can feel the shape of the toy inside of me. While feeling the shape of the plug can be sexy, especially if you like feeling impaled, for beginners, comfort is more important. This set conforms to my every curve, allowing me to relax into the experience.




Design Feature: Pull Loop

The design of these plugs is unique. At first glance, these plugs remind me of a pacifier or ring pop! The cute design makes these plugs fun and playful. Anal beginners who may feel intimidated by typical anal toys will likely enjoy the Booty Jewels Beginner Set’s cheerful design. In the picture below, you can see a Booty Jewels plug next to an adult pacifier. Both pacifier and plug have loops to help with easy removal.



Removing an anal plug without a pull loop, especially when I use a lot of lube, can be a slippery challenge. However, with the Booty Jewels plugs, when I want to remove the toy, I simply pull on the loop and the toy follows. The pull loops are stretchy, so they can easily fit around my finger.


Design Feature: Wide Base

A wide base is very important for anal toys. The last thing you want is for an anal toy to get sucked up into your butt! If you watch my video review for this set, you can see that the bases on these plugs are, indeed, wider than the insertable part of the plugs. This gives me peace of mind to know that an awkward emergency room visit is not in my cards for the night. Even though a wide base is extremely important, many of my plugs, especially princess plugs, have narrow bases. I have had my fair share of bases getting sucked into my butt!




Design Feature: Tapered Tip

Another great feature is the tapered tips on the plugs. While most plugs have a rounded or a slightly pointed tip, the Booty Jewels plugs have a nice, long tip that makes insertion extremely easy. The tip is easy to insert, as it is smaller than even my pinky finger. Once the tip is in my back hole, with ample lube, the rest of the plug can slide into place. For beginners especially, if you're looking for a comfortable insertion process, this feature is very important!


How to Clean the Booty Jewels Beginner Set

TPR material is easy to clean. I typically clean these plugs using mild soap and warm water. However, if I want a deeper clean, I could certainly use toy cleaner. I tend to leave these toys out to air dry. However, if I’m in a hurry, I will towel dry the toy to speed up the process. Since these toys are made from the same material, I can store them together in a small, microfiber pouch.

Size Comparison

Below, I compare the Booty Jewels Beginner Set (BJBS) plugs to other toys I own.


From left to right: BJBS Small, Bunny Tail Plug by EdenFantasys, BJBS Medium, Scarlet Heart Plug by Master Series, BJBS Large, Back Play Gem Plug by EdenFantasys

The smallest Booty Jewels plug is ¾” in diameter. This is smaller than any other butt plug I own. The medium sized Booty Jewels plug is 1” in diameter, the same size as the EdenFantasys Bunny Tail Plug. The largest Booty Jewels plug is 1¼” in diameter, which is the same diameter as the Scarlet Heart Plug by Master Series. In comparison, the Back Play Gem Plug by EdenFantasys is larger than all the plugs in the set with a 1⅜” diameter.


Size Isn’t Everything

While the plugs in this set are smaller in diameter than most of the plugs I own, diameter isn’t everything. Comparing the stems of the plugs in the Booty Jewels Beginner Set to the stem on a typical princess plug, the BJBS stems are much thicker. When you insert a princess plug, once the toy is inserted past the thickest point, the plug pops into place, and you can barely feel that the plug is there*. However, with the BJBS plugs, since the stem is thicker, even when the plug is fully seated, the thicker stem causes a constant feeling of pressure as your butt hole is held open.

When I inserted the smallest plug, I could feel a slight pressure. The stems on the Booty Jewels plugs are shorter than typical princess plugs, which allow the plugs in this set to stimulate my ring of muscles. The sensation felt similar to a finger in my butt. The medium plug offered a fuller feeling, with its wider stem. The largest plug, with the thickest stem, made me feel very full. The feeling is similar to wearing my metal, Njoy Pure Plug Large (1½” diameter, 11 oz). The plug made me weak in the knees and very aroused.
