This anal plug from Luxotiq is made from surgical-grade stainless steel and is the first steel toy that we have tried. It comes packaged in a decorative satin lined box trimmed in pink material for safe storage which also can double as a gift box. If you expand the pictures of it on the Eden site you can see the box that it comes packaged in. It would be nice to see if the trimming material was available in a pink/blue color option, that way the color could match the gender of the person receiving this toy (just my opinion). The plug also comes with a cloth that is used to dry the plug after cleaning and it is the same color as the trimming material. The plug is polished to a mirror finish and being that it is made of surgical steel it is non-porous, phthalates free, and hypo-allergenic and cleaning can be accomplished by boiling, a water and 10% bleach solution, or an after market toy cleaner. The plug is smooth and curved in all the right places and lube choices are entirely up to the user. The overall length is about 4 3/4" and the insertable length is about 4 1/2". It is about 1 3/4" in diameter at the widest point and the neck is about 1/2" long. Despite its compact size you definitely know you are holding a hunk of steel when you pick it up. It weighs in at around one pound and the tapered neck and base keep it pretty secure despite the weight.

We had read about the properties of stainless toys regarding temperature and weight and had been considering one for a while. I would caution when using heat, you certainly don't want to get carried away and burn anything! As far as cold goes, the body temperature will certainly heat up the plug after a while. We used a bowl of water with the temperature we wanted, (hot/cold) and just let the plug absorb the temperature from the water. Another thing we found is that after being inserted for a while when the plug was removed you could feel the body heat that it absorbed.

We used the plug on several nights of play time and so far he has been the one using it. It was quite comfortable and was quite secure. There was some slight pinching between the base and a butt cheek once in a while when sitting on the plug but a quick shift of the weight resolved that issue. We used it during an extended session with several positions and no problems with it coming out although at one point it felt like it was slipping a little bit. We also used it for a “quickie” and again had no problem with it staying in place. He really enjoyed the extra stimulation the plug gave him and said he might just have to use this plug all the time now, I just wonder when I'll get the chance to try it out! We both really enjoyed this plug and would highly recommend it.
