Tail plugs sit at one of the most playful crossovers in kink: part pet play prop, part butt plug, and an easy festive novelty when the tail happens to belong to a reindeer. The Crystal Delights Reindeer Tail Butt Plug is a hand-finished glass plug with a faux-fur tail, reviewed for us by Tim Cash. Crystal Delights have since retired this exact reindeer design, but the review stays live as a look at what makes a good glass tail plug, and there are plenty of tail plugs still on sale to shop below.

As a modern couple, with a few kinks, we are no strangers to a bit of anal play. We have a small range of anal friendly toys, including another glass toy, but this is our first tail plug. While a reindeer would not have been our first choice, we thought that it could be fun to test it when the Crystal Delights Reindeer Tail Butt Plug came up for review.
Packaging
We were very happy with the packaging. The paper wrapping had the appearance of something bought from an upmarket boutique, with a simple logo sticker advertising the brand.
The glass section of the Crystal Delights Reindeer Tail Butt Plug was well secured in foam tubing. This is toughened glass, so should be fine with a few knocks, but it is good to know that it was packed well and kept safe.
The Crystal Delights Reindeer Tail Plug comes with a letter of authenticity with care instructions, helping to build the quality feel of the plug. When we removed the tubing from the glass section, we were amazed at the workmanship of the glass. It is so much smoother and clearer than any glass toys that we had used before. The faux fur section is nice, with lovely colouring, but we did wonder how much nicer it would have been with real fur. It does say in the care instructions that the tail can come loose and may need gluing back in, but it has not come loose for us yet.
During Use
On the first time we used the Crystal Delights Reindeer Tail Butt Plug, my girlfriend fell in love with it. Not only does the high quality glass feel amazing, but the slightly longer stalk just fits more comfortably in her compared to other plugs that we had used. The bulb pops in nicely, giving a good full feeling. Being glass, you can use any lube that you would like. We still favour water based, but for anal play, it is good to have the option of a good heavy duty lubricant without worrying about damaging your favourite toys. As a butt plug, it functions very well.
The real fun begins with a bit of pet-play role playing. It does depend on your individual kinks, but my girlfriend very much got into the animal mindset with this. Lots of tail wagging followed, and she found the freedom that comes from getting out of the every day mindset.
After our session, cleaning the Crystal Delights Reindeer Tail Plug was a bit awkward. We used a standard toy cleaner on the glass, but tried to keep getting the tail too wet. It did take a while to dry anyway, but when it was dry, it looked as good as new.
Conclusion
I fear that this might be the beginning of a large collection of tail plugs. We had a great time using this, and were very impressed with the quality. I would be very interested in trying out the real fur products that Crystal Delights sell. Very highly recommended for anybody looking to explore their animal sides!

Are Tail Plugs a Good Christmas or Pet Play Gift?
A tail plug is one of the easiest ways into pet play, and a reindeer tail makes it a cheeky festive one too. The appeal is exactly what Tim found: a quality glass or metal plug that works perfectly well as a butt plug on its own, with a faux-fur tail that turns a bit of anal play into full role play. Glass suits this beautifully, since it is non-porous, takes any lube, and warms or cools to the touch (our Crystal Minx tail reviews and our 10/10 Black Bunny and Diamante glass plug are all good examples of the quality on offer). If you are new to it, our guide to whether glass sex toys are safe covers the basics.
As a gift, a tail plug lands best with a partner who is already curious about pet play or furry kink, rather than a first anal toy for a total beginner. If that is more your giftee, start them smaller with our small butt plugs for beginners picks. For the festively minded, a tail plug slots neatly into a round-up of Christmas sex toys, makes a memorable kinky stocking filler, or sits among bolder kinky Christmas gifts.
Where To Buy
The exact Crystal Delights Reindeer Tail Butt Plug reviewed here is no longer made, but tail plugs in every style, glass, metal, fox, bunny and more, are easy to find. For Crystal Delights specifically, the still-available Black Fox and Black Bunny Crystal Minx tails are the closest things to this plug, and we rated both. Otherwise, shop the current tail plug ranges below.

Tail Butt Plug FAQ
What is a tail butt plug?
It is a butt plug with a tail attached, usually a glass or metal plug finished with a faux-fur or real-fur tail. It functions as an ordinary plug, with the tail adding a visual, tactile element for pet play, furry kink, or a festive bit of fun.
Are glass tail plugs safe?
Yes. Body-safe borosilicate glass is non-porous, easy to clean, and works with any lube, water or silicone based. Check for a smooth, flawless finish and a flared base, and inspect the glass for chips before each use. There is more in our guide to whether glass sex toys are safe.
Is the Crystal Delights Reindeer Tail Plug still available?
No, this specific reindeer design has been retired. Crystal Delights still make their Crystal Minx tail plugs, and there are plenty of other tail plugs in the ranges linked above.
Do tail plugs make a good Christmas gift?
For the right partner, yes. They are a playful, memorable gift for anyone into pet play or furry kink, and a festive tail makes a fun stocking filler. For someone brand new to anal, pair it with a beginner-friendly plug instead.
