How does an inflatable butt plug work? An inflatable plug goes in at its smallest size and is then expanded with a hand pump, so the stretch happens once it is already in place. On the Dark Pearl, the center bulb grows from 1.9 inches to as much as 4.5 inches in diameter. You decide how far to go with each squeeze. A slow-release valve lets the air out gradually, and the hose detaches so the plug can stay inflated without it.
Dark Pearl: an inflatable plug with two motors
The Dark Pearl is a black silicone butt plug built around a pearl-shaped inflatable bulb. Two ribbed, tapered panels sit on either side of the bulb, and each one holds its own motor. Deflated, the plug measures 4.3 inches of insertable length and 1.9 inches at its widest. Pumped up fully, it reaches 4.5 inches in diameter with 4.1 inches of insertable length.
Vibration is run from a battery-operated remote with a range of up to 32 feet, with 3 speeds and 7 patterns to choose from. A slim neck and wide base hold the plug in position. It charges by USB and carries an IPX5 splashproof rating, which means it can cope with some moisture but not a shower or a bath.
Best for: Suited to people who already have some experience with anal toys and want to control fullness in small steps. The deflated size is moderate, while the fully inflated size is very large, so most users will stop well short of the maximum. It works for solo use or with a partner holding the remote.

How to use
Charge the plug with the USB cable and fit one AAA battery in the remote. Check that the bulb is fully deflated. Coat the plug and yourself with plenty of water-based lubricant, then ease it in slowly, guiding both side panels in together until the slim neck sits in place and the wide base rests outside. Start the vibration from the remote if you want it. Squeeze the pump a little at a time and pause between squeezes. Stop at the first sign of discomfort. Use the valve to let air out, and always deflate fully before removing the plug.
Care
- Use water-based lubricant only; silicone lubricant can damage the surface.
- Wash by hand with warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner. Do not submerge, boil or put it in a dishwasher.
- It is rated IPX5 splashproof, so keep it out of the shower and the bath.
- Recharge with the supplied USB cable, and make sure the plug is dry before connecting it.
- Store it deflated, with the hose detached, away from other toys.

Frequently asked questions
How big does the Dark Pearl get?
Deflated, it is 1.9 inches at the widest point with 4.3 inches of insertable length. At full inflation it reaches 4.5 inches in diameter and 4.1 inches of insertable length. You do not need to use the full range. Inflate only as far as feels comfortable.
Is it suitable for beginners?
The deflated size is closer to a medium plug than a starter one, and the two-panel shape takes a little care to insert. Someone new to anal play may prefer to begin with a smaller, simpler plug. With experience, the adjustable size makes it easy to go at your own pace.
Can I use it in the shower?
No. The IPX5 rating covers splashes and some moisture, but the plug should not be taken into the shower or put under water. Clean it by hand at the sink and keep it dry while it charges.
Does the remote come with a battery?
No. The remote needs one AAA battery, which is not included. The plug itself is rechargeable and comes with a USB cable. The remote works from up to 32 feet away.
Which lubricant should I use?
Water-based lubricant only. The plug is silicone, and silicone lubricants can break down a silicone surface over time. Use a generous amount, and add more before inflating further, since the plug gets wider once it is in place.
