Although it is designed to be used vaginally, the Gold laced G can be used anally for those who are familiar with anal play. If you decide to use it anally, please make sure to keep a good grip on it. I don't play anally much, so I didn't use it in that regard.

This can be used solo or with a partner inserting it for you. My husband isn't a fan of dildos regardless of material so I use this alone. Regardless of how you use it, make sure to not thrust too hard as it could bruise ones cervix.

As glass does not have a motor, it can be used in any water situation that you please such as the tub, shower, or pool.

Glass is also a great toy for temperature play as well.

I'd consider this best suited for those who like non-vibrating, firm, smaller dildos and do not mind some texture.

Gold Laced G is made of Pyrex glass. Glass rates a ten out of ten on the Eden safety scale. Glass is considered to be non porous, hypoallergenic, latex free, and phthalates free. According to Wikipedia Pyrex is a brand of borosilicate glass that is more resistant to breakage when dropped. However, make sure to look over your toy carefully for any cracks or chips before using for the first time. If it happens to break, it will break into larger pieces instead of shattering everywhere. Glass is also completely odorless and tasteless.

As I mentioned earlier glass is a wonderful material for those who enjoy temperature play. All you need to do to change the temperature to your desired level is to put it in a warm or cool glass of water. It came to me already cold. I do not suggest putting it in the microwave or freezer.

Glass has no give to it at all so it is not for those who prefer smooth flexible toys. The Gold Laced G has golden colored spirals around it that can be felt while inserted. I normally mention in my reviews that I have a hard time feeling textures, but the Gold Laced G I could feel. It was almost like a scratchy feeling while I had it inserted.

I feel it is best suited for those who are not sensitive to textures.

When I received this, I was surprised at how small this actually is. When I was picturing it in my head, I thought it would be bigger than it really is. I actually prefer smaller toys so this was not an issue to me, but those who prefer larger toys may be left wanting for more.

Overall, I really like the design of the Gold Laced G. It is gold in color with a small head on it, a slight curve to it, and a large ball acting as a base. Here's a picture of the small head.



It is the first toy that I have that has a ball on it which I find to be interesting. It has four straight lines going down the shaft and then smaller lines crisscrossing through it.



It has a total length of 6 1/2" and is 3 1/2" around. Here's a comparison photo of it against my other glass toys. From left to right is the Rainbow Bliss, Gold Laced G, Amethyst, Blossom G, Athena, and Hearts Wand.



Here's showing what it looks like compared to my hand.



The Gold Laced G is pretty obvious that it's a sex toy by looking at it so if discretion is important I suggest keeping this put away.

I've mentioned in other reviews that I've traveled with the majority of my toys on visits with my best friend. I haven't seen my best friend since I received this, but it is small enough to fit in my purse and I have not had any issues with any of my glass toys while traveling. If you plan on traveling great distances, make sure to pack with extra care and you should be fine.

While using it, I kept feeling the texture and as I mentioned earlier it felt scratchy to me. I did not particularly like that aspect of the toy. However, I did like the small size of the Gold Laced G and did not have any issues using it by myself. The ball area acted as a good grip while I was inserting it. I feel it is a great non-intimidating toy for those who don't mind a little bit of texture.

You can use water, silicone, oil, or hybrid-based lubricants with glass. A little bit goes a long way, so you will not need much if you need any at all.

The Gold Laced G is also very easy to clean. I did not have any issues with the crisscrossing texture with this toy while cleaning it so that is wonderful. You can clean glass with warm water and antibacterial soap or use your favorite toy cleaner or wipe. You can also sterilize it by boiling it for no longer than five minutes. If you choose to do so, you can also use a 10% bleach solution. I'm the only one using my toys and I don't switch orifices so I persoanlly just use an Eden toy wipe to clean it or use soap and water.

The Gold Laced G came to me wrapped in bubble wrap and underneath the bubble wrap, the Gold Laced G was in a non padded red velvet storage pouch.

Although it's a small size, I was not able to insert the entire full length of this, I kept hitting the sides of my vaginal walls. As with any glass toy, I was not playing rough with this because I did not want to bruise my insides. I played with it and kept it inserted while finishing myself off with my favorite clitoral vibe.
