Shots Toys Thru Hole Butt Tunnel Plug Small — Silver review

A small steel tunnel plug that reviewers consistently describe as beginner-friendly, well-shaped, and capable of delivering intense sensations once you've worked out how to use it — though that last part does take a bit of practice.

Metal feels different from silicone: heavier, cooler to the touch, and smooth in a way that means you'll want lube close by. The weight is part of the appeal — you always know exactly where it is, and reviewers say that constant awareness adds to the experience rather than distracting from it.

The tunnel design means it sits differently from a solid plug. Reviewers report that it hits the right spots and creates a feeling of fullness without being overwhelming, which is why so many first-timers picked this one and stuck with it. One person described it as "the Rolls Royce of butt plugs", praising how the shape and handle work together to keep it comfortable and secure.

The handle matters more than you'd think. It keeps the plug in place without fuss, and several reviewers mentioned that it made the whole experience less anxious — you're not wondering if it's going to slip or shift.

The intensity builds. Multiple reviewers mentioned orgasms — plural — and one said it was "excellent for intense internal stimulation". But one honest voice on Reddit pointed out that it's not instant magic: "A lot of people buy one and just expect the magic right out of the gate. They're not willing to put in the time and effort it takes to reach the stratosphere." That's not a criticism of the plug; it's a reminder that this kind of play has a learning curve, and this one rewards the effort.

It's small enough that beginners describe it as "not scary", but shaped well enough that experienced users still rate it highly. That's a narrow target to hit, and reviewers say this one manages it.

This is genuinely beginner-friendly — not in the way marketing uses the phrase, but in the way reviewers who were actually nervous about trying anal play describe it. If you've been curious but hesitant, or if you've tried a cheaper plug and found it uncomfortable, this is the one people wish they'd started with.

It also suits anyone who wants a plug they can wear during sex. The tunnel design and secure handle mean it stays put, and several reviewers mentioned using it exactly that way — one called it a "game changer for adding a little spice".

If you're looking for something larger or more filling, this won't do it — the size is deliberate, and reviewers who wanted more bought the medium next. If you want instant, effortless intensity, you might be disappointed; this one asks you to learn what works for your body, and not everyone has the patience for that.

If you're after a plug you can sterilise and share safely, or one that will last years with proper care, metal delivers on both counts.

Metal is non-porous and body-safe, which means you can clean it properly and it will last. Hot water and soap work fine for everyday cleaning; if you want to sterilise it — say, between partners — boiling water or a 10% bleach solution will do the job without damaging it.

The weight means you'll want to store it somewhere it won't clatter around or dent anything softer. A padded pouch or a dedicated drawer works well.

Use plenty of water-based or silicone lube — metal doesn't have any give, so friction is something you manage with lube rather than relying on the material to absorb it.

If you want to compare this against other tunnel plugs at different price points or sizes, we've run the numbers on a few common match-ups. The Doc Johnson Platinum The Stretch sits in a similar category but with a different shape, and the Anal Fantasy Collection Open Wide Tunnel Plug comes in at a lower price if you're not yet sure metal is for you.

Both comparisons are linked below, with scores and specs side by side.

This sits in the tunnel plug category — plugs with a hollow centre, designed to be worn during other activities or to create a specific sensation of openness. It's one of the higher-scoring options in that group, and the review count is solid enough to trust the rating.

If you're wondering how it compares to the rest of the tunnel plugs we score, or if you want to filter by material, size or price, the ranked list covers all of them.

So is this one actually worth the premium over cheaper options?

Is this toy good for beginners? Yes — reviewers consistently describe it as a "perfect size for beginners" and "small enough to not be scary". The shape and handle make it less intimidating than many first-time options.

Is it worth the price? One reviewer who had "trepidation at the price" said plainly, "I have to say it's worth it." The material quality and the fact that it lasts make the cost easier to justify than it looks at first glance.

A well-made, beginner-friendly steel plug that reviewers love for its shape, weight and the intensity it delivers once you've learned how to use it. It's not instant magic — it asks you to put in a bit of effort — but the people who did that work report multiple orgasms and call it worth the price.

The material is non-porous, so it cleans properly and lasts. The size is genuinely approachable for first-timers, but the design is good enough that experienced users still rate it highly. If you're curious about anal play and want something that will grow with you rather than something you'll outgrow in a month, this is the one reviewers actually kept using.
