The Gold Lace G is a glass dildo made by SSA Glass. It is made of borosilicate glass, which is shatterproof. Although it is possible for it to crack or chip, it will never shatter. Borosilicate glass is well known by many as Pyrex Glass. This is the glass that a lot of cookware is made from. Rated a 10 on Eden Safety Chart, it is very safe to use.

This particular dildo is considered a g-spot toy since it does have a slight curve that makes it easier to hit your targeted g-spot. Since it does have a flared base that looks similar to a mans balls it, can also be used for anal play. Thrusting is possible with this toy, however I do always recommend being extra careful not to thrust too hard as glass toys can bruise the cervix.

This dildo is great for solo play or partner play. It is also great for temperature play. Glass products stored at room temperature will always feel quite cool to the touch. Glass does tend to warm up quite easily, though, within 10 or 15 minutes of using it you will find it will be warmed to body temperature. For temperature play simply place it into a bowl of hot or cold water, wait a few minutes, and then remove and go play. Since this product is glass it is always going to be waterproof, so feel free to try it out in the pool, hot tub, or shower.

This dildo does look like a penis. Even the head of it has a cut through it to make it look more realistic. This particular item does not have any taste or smell. It is non-porous, hypo-allergenic, latex free, phthalates free, and waterproof. Of course, being glass, it has no give at all and is very firm.

As far as texture is concerned, this toy definitely has you covered. The raised, criss-crossing, golden yellow swirls throughout the entire shaft of the toy will give those who love texture something to be happy about. I have had some toys that I couldn't feel the texture on, but on this one I could definitely feel it. For some this added texture may be a bit too much, but for myself i just loved it. On part of the head you will also find some golden yellow texture, as well. Since its girth isn't very wide, I think it is great for beginners. Do keep in mind that if you are a beginner and aren't used to texture, it may be a bit much for you. Advanced users may or may not be pleased with this toy, depending on how much girth you are looking for, you may find it doesn't fill you up quite enough.

This particular dildo is definitely shaped like a penis. It is clear, transparent glass with golden yellow crossing patterns, with lines going up and down the shaft. Looking at it, you will find the flared base at the bottom that looks similar to a pair of balls. The flared base is somewhat thin, but does allow for it to stand on its own if placed on a hard surface. It always gives you something to grasp when using the dildo. About 3/4 of the way up the shaft it starts to curve slightly. At the top you, of course, have the head which has a cut through it to make it look like a real penis.

As far as size, I like it. It is large enough to please most people out there. My only complaint is the girth isn't very thick, so some may be left wanting more. For myself, I felt it was plenty thick. It stands on its own at approximately 6 3/4 inches long, 6 of which are insertable. This is about the size of the average penis in my opinion. Its circumference is about 3 1/2 inches and its diameter is approximately 1 inch.

This toy definitely isn't discreet. If placed where others can see it, they will definitely know what it is! I do not recommend it for traveling since it is somewhat heavy, and with glass I always tend to leave them at home.

Being a glass item, this is not suction cup or harness compatible. I have never been one to do the harness thing, so that is no biggie for me. I definitely loved the look and design of this item. It did exactly what I expected and I am very pleased with it. It is just great for g-spot play and, since I am a big fan of temperature play, it worked just great for me.

Taking care of this toy is quite easy. Cleaning glass items is always a breeze. Simply take hot water and soap and wipe it down very well. Since it does have alot of "lace," be sure to clean very well around it when washing it. Of course, being glass, it can be washed with pretty much any cleaner, whether it be a wipe, 10% bleach and water, alcohol, or a spray toy cleaner. It can also be placed in a dishwasher on the top shelf or placed into a pot of boiling water for up to 5 mins. Remember to allow to cool before using again or trying to store.

Storage is quite easy, as well. Simply take the pouch it came in and place it somewhere safe where it will not fall. I do recommend a pouch with some padding though, since the one it comes with doesn't really have any padding.

What about lubes? Glass products can be used with any lubes. Whether it be oil based, water based, or silicone based, you are good to go.

The packaging of SSA Glass toys is very minimal to say the least. When receiving your dildo, you will find it wrapped in a piece of bubble wrap inside of a red, velvety, nonpadded toy pouch. There is never any paperwork or instructions, but you really do not need any for this item. The pouch is good for storing your item, but it isn't padded at all, so it won't protect it much should it fall.

I definitely love this dildo. It's very pretty to look at and very realistic. It is just great for g-spot play and temperature play. It has a good bit of texture, and the size is not intimidating at all. As far as pricing, I couldn't beat the $9.00 price I paid for it. I am definitely going to be using this one for many years to come.

So far I have simply used this toy for solo g-spot play. I have to say it did a wonderful job at finding my g-spot, and the added texture was not rough at all. I have yet to use with my boyfriend, but I definitely plan on doing that very soon. He just loves being able to try out toys on me. I love that I can use this for temperature play, since that is a big selling point for me. I always like that glass is such a safe material to use as long as you are careful with it. All in all, I cannot complain about this purchase. I definitely enjoy it and plan on using it a lot more.
