This is a great starter or introductory toy to glass. The Gold Laced G by SSA Glass not only has a light enough texture for beginners, it is also curved for g-spot or p-spot stimulation and has a nice flared base. This not only makes vaginal play easier, but also makes this toy anal safe! This would be a great starter toy for anal users as well, due to its small size and light texture. Whether you're in the pool or on a bed, in the shower or in a car, you can take this toy anywhere, just be sure not to break it as it is still glass.

This toy is great for thrusting, as the texture can be felt while doing so, and has to be thrust against the g-spot or p-spot. Remember to communicate with your partner on how hard they should thrust if you're not using this solo. Rough thrusts could end in a bruised cervix, and that's never fun. Always exercise caution when playing with glass toys. If you decide to use lubricant on the toy, a little goes a long way, and this toy can become extra slippery, so be careful not to apply too much as it could slip from the hand.

Beginners and advanced users alike will have fun with this toy, and can use it for temperature play. When taken out of the pouch it will be cool to the touch. Heat it up in warm water or cool it down in an ice bath for a frosty feeling. Remember never to boil, microwave or freeze your toy for temperature play. These are extreme temperature changes and will cause injury to your person if attempted.

This glass dildo is made from 100% borosilicate glass. This glass is also known by the name of Pyrex widely and commercially. Glass is smooth and cool to the touch when first picked up, but quickly warms to the body. It is completely non-porous, hypo-allergenic, latex and phthalate free. There aren't any odd smells lingering around the toy, and there's no taste when you put it in your mouth.

Users with sensitivities may find glass an ideal material for them, if they like the rigidity. Borosilicate glass is made so that if you drop the item on a hard service, it will break into large chunks rather than shatter all over the floor or surface. Because the glass is rigid, it does not feel realistic, but rather to pinpoint the g-spot as this toy is curved for. The Gold Laced G by SSA Glass has beautiful golden textures 'laced' all around it. Though the toy is small and thin, these textures can be felt in use, but aren't terribly overwhelming like some glass toys.

Because of the toys size and the texture layout, I'd say beginners could use this toy. Though it looks like a lot of texture on this toy, it is very light, and the toy very skinny.

This beautiful gold dildo is designed with a curve for g-spot or p-spot stimulation. It's lacy texture is designed to stimulate your walls all around and it's glass so its easily cleaned. The curve itself starts about an inch below the head and curves up, making this a great toy for g-spotting or p-spotting. While it depends on the anatomy, this toy should work for most users. Its flared base and small size make this toy great for anal, and it's hardly intimidating when you feel the texture under your fingers for the first time and feel how light they are.

The measurements are as follows:

Length: 6-3/4"
Insertable length: 6"
Circumference: 3-1/2"
Diameter: 1"

This toy is made to look realistic with the way the lace is wrapped around the head of the toy. At the base of the toy as you move your eyes down the luxurious lacy look, you will notice that the lace extends over the base. This makes gripping the base a little easier, and also resembles wrinkles of the balls. With glass, every piece is unique so not everyone's will look the same. While this glass piece is made to look realistic, it is also whimsical and artistic, and is truly a beautiful piece.

This toy will be defined for what it is if left out on the table, and would make a nice conversation piece. If you wouldn't like others to know you own a glass dildo, it's better to keep it tucked away. You could travel with this because the toy is petite and can easily be hidden. Just pack it away in a purse or luggage.

The curve of this toy performed perfectly to stimulate my g-spot. Though I have curved toys that work far better because of more dramatic curves, this one is subtle and a very nice warm up toy if anything. Anally this toy feels amazing, and I love the nice laced texture rubbing inside when lubricated, as it really does add to the stimulation. This toy is definitely staying near the top of my toy chest. The base makes it easy to hold and manipulate, and I love how glass is so easily cleaned up.

While this toy worked for me, it may not work for everyone, and that's okay. If you're into larger girth both anally and vaginally, than this toy won't be for you. But if you like to tease before moving onto bigger toys in bed whether solo or with a partner, than this is the perfect build-up toy. While it does have a base, I don't use this toy in a harness, so I don't know if it works for that, and there isn't a suction cup for hands-free play. Overall this is a wonderful petite toy to have.

Glass toys are easily cleaned using several methods. Washing with hot soapy water, a toy cleaner or wipe, boiling, putting it in the top rack of the dishwasher, or bleaching it in a 10% bleach, 90% water solution will sanitize your toy completely. If you plan on washing your toy with soap, bleach, a cleaner or wipe, remember to rinse it thoroughly. Leaving a residue behind can cause irritation or chemical burns to sensitive areas if used. If you plan on boiling or putting this toy in your dishwasher, remember to take caution on removing it, as the surface will be hot and could potentially burn you.

Always remember to store your toy in something soft and padded to prevent breakage. Remember to examine your toys before using them, and discard if any chips, cracks or scratches are found on the toy. Any sort of damage to the toy could cause damage to you, so take caution and remember to always check your toys. When cleaning, remember that glass becomes extremely slippery when wet, so keep a good grip on it and don't let it hit any hard surfaces. Because this toy has a lot of texture, it's best to use a soft bristled brush around the texture so that you can be sure to get all of the nasties that might be left behind.

Glass is compatible with all lubricants. Just remember that when lubricating glass, a little goes a long way. If you intend on using your toy in conjunction with others, be sure that the other toys are also compatible with the lubricant you choose.

SSA Glass items come standard packaged in bubble wrap inside of their red, non-padded, velveteen pouches. There aren't any instructions on care or use of the toys, but the glass items are pretty straightforward as far as that goes. If you'd like your toy to have a little more security, there are pouches here on Eden that are padded for protection, or you could simply make your own. The standard packaging for this glass toy is minimal, and the bubble wrap can be thrown away but not recycled, though you may want to keep your toy wrapped in it if you plan on keeping it in the pouch it came in. While it won't protect your toy from drops, it will protect the toy from rubbing against others in your toy chest.

This particular pouch reminds me of Christmas, and would make a great stocking stuffer for a partner. However, if you plan on gifting this in front of other people, you may wish to buy a nice gift bag or box as exposure of the toy is likely. The pouch it comes in opens easily, and the toy could slip out with ease. Tying it closed should help, but it's better not to trust it. While the pouch hides the toy, it can easily be opened, making it less discreet than need be.
