Really, how many butt plugs can one own? Well, depending on the amount of "entertaining" you do, you may want an entire pantry full of them. Think of them as part of your place settings, the ideal utensil for the first course of your evening—something akin to a cocktail or fish fork. You know, a tool for getting into those tight places or for impaling that which is hard to pin down. The butt plug is a little something (relatively) small before the main course, an 'amuse-tush' if you will. Although rather than cleansing the... ahem... palate, the plug is really all about making room for more. And at these kinds of parties, who doesn't love a glutton?

But there are so many choices to make when selecting the right butt plug: size, shape, weight, and material. The first three really come down to personal preference and how... um... hungry you are. But the fourth, material, is more than just mere preference. What your butt plug is made of will dictate not only how it will amuse your tush but also what lubes you can use with it, how you take care of and clean it, and even its lifespan. I always recommend stainless steel for its versatility, durability, and presentation. Plastic? This ain't no picnic or cafeteria. Crystal? Beautiful yes, but oh so delicate and easily chipped. Stainless is definitely the way to go—bold, beautiful, easy to clean, dependable, and durable. The very definition of silver service.

Stainless steel, how I love the feel of it—its smooth sleekness, its heft. This little gem of a plug has graceful curves that can disarm even the most stubborn of holes. Available in two sizes, the Sparkle Plug Premium Anal Toy is ideal for most every appetite, serving up delicious sensations and tantalizing expectations for more—when you'll get your just desserts. Now the Swarovski crystal, available in both clear and fuchsia, is a matter of taste and probably best reserved for those more formal occasions, such as an elegant black tied-up soirée or a dignified sit-down that'll result with you not being able to sit down for a week. You get the idea.

This plug is perfect for all those occasions and more. Its graceful shape combined with its sturdiness will make for a scintillating time. One note of caution and consideration, however: the flange could well be bigger. Perhaps its dimunitive size (about the size of a half-dollar) is a function of the Swarovski crystal plugged into its own butt, but you do want to be careful that your elegant service piece isn't swallowed whole by a gluttonous guest.

And finally, the Sparkle Plug makes a perfect wedding present. What newlyweds don't need some good serving ware as they start their lives together? Besides, the plug comes with its own elegant black velvet bag—just like Grandma's silver did.
