Your aesthetic on camera is super important. It adds tone and interest to your show and keeps your regulars coming back for more. A fantastic way to spice up your aesthetic is with key accessories – and if diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then Princess Plugs should be a cam model’s.
“Princess Plug” is a term for a butt plug with a jewel in the base. They are the height of luxury sex toys, falling somewhere between jewellery and play. Princess Plugs are usually made of steel or metal, but recently there have been some silicone versions of this classic plug.
Thanks to their eye-catching look and pretty color options, the Princess Plug makes a great accessory for camming. Even if you’re new to plugs, there are plenty of starter plug options for princesses in training.
Safety First
Before we have a look at some of the blingiest butt accessories on the market, a quick safety note regarding Princess Plugs (and plugs in general).
As with all anal toys, a flared base is vital to safe play. This is to prevent toys and plugs from travelling up inside you. This is a very real thing, and nothing is likely to end your show quicker than a visit to the emergency room for a toy extraction.
With plugs, the important thing to check is that they have a good wide base. Always make sure the base is the widest part of the plug, not the bulb. This makes sure the base anchors the plug securely. Personally, I wouldn’t use a plug with a base width of less than one inch across. Being confident in your plug’s safety will lead to a sexier show.
Blingiest Butt Plugs
The Classic — When I think of Princess Plugs, one name springs to mind straight away: Crystal Delights. They are the Rolls Royce of plugs and their stunning Princess Plugs are so gorgeous they border on kaleidoscope.
Crystal Delights plugs are made of glass and, because they’re so customisable in size, are the best fitting plugs I’ve ever come across. You can choose the neck and bulb size. For moving around on camera, I feel a longer neck would be better as it moves with you more than a shorter more compact neck.
Crystal Delights offer opaque frosted plugs with acid bright jewels or classic glass plugs with fiery colored crystal bases. They really are a thing of beauty.
The Ultimate Princess-In-Training — If you’re new to plugs and want to explore the most sparkly of props, a smart choice is the Blush Luxe Bling Plugs Training Kit. This kit offers three body-safe silicone plugs in increasing sizes. This way, as you adjust to the sensation of the plug, you can gradually work up through the plug sizes.
Silicone is a gentler material for plugs and makes a great choice for those starting out. It has more yield than glass or metal, which can feel bigger in the butt than in the hand.
The Blush Luxe Bling Plugs Training Kit has pretty heart-shaped jewels in the base for an added visual touch. The silicone is soft to touch, and the jewel is very reflective.
Pro tip: Don’t forget, if you’re opting for a silicone plug, you need a water-based lube. Anything else could damage the surface of your plug.
The Chameleon — The So Divine Bootylicious and Wild Thing plugs are both made of body-safe silicone, but they come with a choice of jewels. These clever plugs allow you to pop the jewel out of the silicone base and change it for one of the three included colors. This allows you to customize your booty bling to match your mood.
Bootylicious and Wild Thing are different sizes, allowing both beginners and plug experts to enjoy them.
The bright purple silicone base is extremely comfortable for prolonged wear, and it doesn’t dig into your butt cheeks the way metal or glass can. The interchangeable jewels mean you’ll get a range of looks for your shows.
These plugs are also very budget friendly, as well as looking pretty AF! Winner!
The Professional — If you crave the weight of a metal plug, a Julian Snelling Rosebud Plug from Lovehoney is a stunning option.
Made of stainless steel, these plugs are not for the faint-hearted. They carry some serious weight and stretch to them, but there are a range of size options. Remember that, when sizing, steel will feel bigger in the butt than in the hand — be cautious.
The plus points of having a metal Princess Plug include super easy cleaning and not having to be careful with your lube choice. You can use any lube perfectly safely.
There are so many styles, colors and varieties of Princess Plugs, there really is something to choose for everyone.
Just remember, if you’re new to plugs — and especially if you are using a metal plug — be sure to lube up first. And take your time.

Add a little sparkle to your shows and bling up your butt this spring!
