Blue Spiral is a unique glass dildo from SSA glass. Most glass dildos are designed for g-spot stimulation or thrusting. This has a handle allowing the spiraled shaft to spin inside for entirely different internal sensation. It's called a "juicer" dildo, but my husband thought it resembled a screw. We're calling it The Screw.

I had never tried glass before. Something about putting glass inside me scared me. The texture sounded too rigid and unforgiving. What if it bruised or what if it broke? I did some research and lots of thinking and placed my first order. Blue Spiral was one of three glass piece ordered. I am glad I did. I found the rigidness of the glass does not detract from the fun. I love the way it can be cooled down for temperature play. I love the firmness and the feeling of the texure as it is swirled around. It does not stimulate my G-spot but it wasn't designed for that.

It's very beautiful with cobalt blue swirls around the shaft. There are also 6 blue nubs on the base that offer extra external stimulation. The handle juts up from the base. It has a bulbed head and is comfortable to hold. However if any lube gets on it, it gets slippery.

A major complaint is that it was difficult to use alone. I cannot spin the handle all the way around myself. I can only twist back and forth. That is OK, but it's much better spun all the way around. My husband could easily spin it. So this is a partner toy.

It's a rather short dildo, but it has a flared base so it could be used for either vaginal or anal penetration.

The Blue Spiral is made out of Pyrex Glass which has a 10 on the safety rating scale. Pyrex is an excellent glass because it is difficult to break. If it does break, it will break off in large pieces instead of shattering into a gazillion pieces. Last week one of my kitchen bowls shattered into a million teeny tiny glass slivers all over the floor. It was obviously not pyrex glass. That shouldn't happen with this piece. In fact, its fairly resistant to breaking at all. If it does get dropped, check carefully for any cracks. Discard if you find any.

Glass is fun and easy to use for temperature play. You can cool it down or warm it up for extra sensory stimulation. To cool it put it in the fridge or place it in a cold glass of water. To heat it put it in a hot glass of water. Never use the freezer or microwave. Avoid going from one extreme temperatue to the other quickly. That could crack the glass. The day it arrived, it sat out on my porch for several hours. (It was in the mail package. I am not in the habit of leaving dildos lying around on my porch.) Using it for the first time, it was deliciously cool.

Juicer style dildos are unique in that they have the handle. My measurements are slightly different than the product page. My entire toy is 6 inches long. The insertable length is 4 inches. The circumference of the widest part of the head is 4.75 inches. The shaft is much smaller at just under 4 inches. So it's a short toy and not too girthy. I wish it was slightly longer, but it is effective at this size.

The handle has a bulb at the end. It was very difficult to use by myself. It got slippery and I couldn't spin it all the way around. My husband didn't have any trouble spinning it though.

It's not a real discreet toy. I wouldn't leave it lying out. It's obvious what it is even though someone might wonder what the handle is for.

I had a lot of fun with this toy when used with my husband. As stated above, it didn't work well for solo use. I couldn't get the full spin that makes this toy so enjoyable. With my husband it became a whole different story. Spinning was a very nice sensation and the nubs on the base gave extra stimulation on the outside. My husband wanted to thrust with it. I think he enjoyed the visual of thrusting in and out. The thrusting was nice but not as great as spinning. He ended up doing a combination of lots of spinning with a few thrusts thrown in here and there. I wasn't able to orgasm with this alone, but adding a clit vibe sent me over the edge.

I am happy with it, although I wish I could use it alone. Having to have a partner limits it a bit.

The glass is nonporus and easy to clean. You can simply use soap and water for an easy cleanup. It can also be boiled or put in the dishwasher. If sharing the toy, it would be good to sterilize by boiling.

Glass is compatible with either water or silicone lubes. You can use anything without worrying about damaging the material.

It can be stored in its red velvet pouch. I have all my glass in individual pouches and then placed in a larger velvet bag. The individual pouches protect the glass even though they tend to bump together in the larger bag.

I am very happy with this purchase. I don't have any more hesitations about using glass. If you're wondering if you will like glass, give it a try.

Eden sells another juicer by SSA called Pink Rotator. They have different product pages, but I think they are probably identical except for the color. I chose the blue one because it looked more vibrant. The pink looks very pale, and I doubt it shows up well on the clear glass. The blue spirals on mine contrast very well with the glass. It's very beautiful.
