A heart-base plug is jewelry logic applied to a toy: the shape you see is the point, but the shape you feel is what matters. The Lovehoney Jeweled Heart Metal Butt Plug 2.5 Inch is our pick — polished metal with a heart-shaped gem base, weighted enough to feel present, sized for comfortable wear, and holding one of the highest customer ratings in Lovehoney's plug range. Ready for slightly more? The 3-inch version of the same design steps up gradually. And if you prefer glass, the Lovehoney Small Heart Glass Butt Plug 3 Inch delivers the same heart motif in smooth, easy-to-clean borosilicate-style glass with an equally strong rating. All three photograph beautifully, which for this category is half the brief.

Metal or glass for a heart plug?
Both are firm, smooth and easy to keep clean; the difference is weight and temperature. Metal is heavier and holds warmth or chill longer — noticeable during wear. Glass is lighter and feels sleeker going in. Ratings for Lovehoney's heart designs are almost identical in both materials, so choose by feel preference.
Should I start with the 2.5 inch or 3 inch heart plug?
The 2.5 inch, unless you already wear plugs comfortably. Half an inch sounds trivial but changes both the widest point and the seated feel of a rigid toy. The smaller size is the one with the near-perfect customer rating, and moving up later costs less than buying too big and never wearing it.
Is the heart base actually comfortable to wear?
Flat, rounded heart bases like these sit between the cheeks more comfortably than round discs for many people, since the tapered point of the heart follows the body's line. Comfort during longer wear depends more on neck length and width than on the base shape — these are designed for exactly that.
Can these plugs be warmed or cooled?
Yes — that is one of the pleasures of rigid materials. A bowl of warm (not hot) water or a few minutes somewhere cool changes the entire character of metal in particular. Always check the temperature against your wrist first, exactly as you would with anything touching sensitive skin.
Do gem bases loosen or fall out over time?
On these designs the gem is set into the base rather than glued on top, so it survives normal use and washing. Even so, inspect any decorated toy now and then and retire it if the setting ever feels proud of the surface or rattles — the same rule as with any jeweled item you wear.
