Obviously, considering this toy is made of borosilicate glass, it is going to be unyielding in texture. This means you can NOT just shove this little, extremely hard beauty up in a hole. No. You must first properly lube the Gold Laced G before insertion. I found that even with me extremely wet, lube is needed for this type of base material.

Also, take into consideration the spirals that wrap around the Gold Laced G. This makes it quite difficult, and PAINFUL, to just simply thrust this toy in and out, even with proper lube. Found that out the hard way.

And notice that the Gold Laced G has a base. This makes it not only vaginal capable, but anally capable for toy play, and safely might I add, due to the fact that bases are meant to keep the toy from being just sucked into your warm, tight holes. Like a reverse plunger effect. Yeah. Sorry if that put repulsive thoughts in your head!

Normally, I grab the Gold Laced G by the base, and after proper lubing, I insert the toy using the base basically as a handle of sorts. Works pretty fine for me. I would also recommend this toy mostly for vaginally (but that's because I love texture such as the Gold Laced G has for this area), but if you like texture on a dildo anally, then be my guest and go to town like a rodeo clown.

When I first saw the Gold Laced G on the website, I was like, "This would be the perfect first glass toy for me to try," and well, I got it. And. I. Love. It. The material of the Gold Laced G is very firm, which of course, is like all borosilicate glass. This toy smelled new, but nothing else. Not rubber (which would be weird if it did), or any other smells that would disrupt pleasure, function, etc.

The Gold Laced G is cool and hard to the touch, has no give, and is solid. Also, this toy has no taste, which I didn't expect any. If anyone has this and it has a taste, I'd call someone about that...The Gold Laced G is sort of realistic. I mean, you wouldn't look at it and say, "Holy hell! You have a real penis on your dresser!" at anyone. But this toy does have the slit and rounded head of a penis. This toy also does not feel realistic due to being made of glass.

Personally, I believe the material AND texture adds to the stimulation and pleasure of a session that the Gold Laced G would be involved in. Yes, I agree it is a tad small, and the ribbing/spirals on the Gold Laced G are minute in comparison to a lot of other glass toys, but it is perfect for, as said previously, a beginner's glass toy. Even advanced users might like the Gold Laced G, but would more than likely be disappointed in the size. I didn't even realize how thin just 1" in diameter is, but I still love the Gold Laced G nonetheless.

I really loved the design of the Gold Laced G! The design and color is what attracted me to this toy in the first place. I would think, obviously, since the Gold Laced G has a bent curve to it, that this toy is compatible with G-spot and P-spot stimulation. This is also how it worked for me and my mate. And since this is made of borosilicate glass, the material gives nice, hard pressure when in contact with either of the erogenous, internal areas.

Personally, I like the size as my first glass toy, but if this was not my first glass toy, due to my in-adequateness of paying attention to the diameter of the Gold Laced G, I'd have been severely disappointed. The Gold Laced G measures 6 3/4" in length, but only 6" is usable due to the base at the end of the toy. I would not think this toy would be good for average users, at least if you like larger toys or thickness.

Due to the Gold Laced G's size and thinness, it can be discreet somewhat. But due to the design and clear/yellow-gold color, you can obviously tell by looking at this toy, if it was left out, that it clearly is a dildo. The Gold Laced G is suitable for travel, just keep the soft, red, stringed, velvety pouch the Gold Laced G toy comes in. In other notes, I think the pouch I just described could have been just a tad more padded.

Let's see...I think the base and curve of this glass dildo are the best of the Gold Laced G, in my opinion. The curve made it perfect for G- and P-spot play, and the base kept this toy safely from being sucked up anally.

As for not so great features, I can't really think of any. I like the size, personally, but others might not.

This toy is also harness compatible. Just make sure you have an interchangeable O-ring, considering the Gold Laced G is only 1" in diameter.

I tried putting the Gold Laced G in my only harness, and it performed well. I have not used it with my harness since, not because it wasn't great, just my mate doesn't like it so much due to the texture, which he hates on glass toys. Besides, I like using the Gold Laced G better with solo play. That's just me.

The following is pretty much me quoting the care of a glass item. "Glass is extremely smooth and nonporous. Easy to clean, with soap/water or sex toy cleaner. Use condoms if sharing." You can also use any type of lube with this toy. Silicone, water, or oil! And so you know, borodsilicate is another name for Pyrex material. Basically, it is a hard material with a high chemical resistance and mechanical strength.

I store my Gold Laced G in the pouch it came in, and then place it in a large black bag I have with the few other toys I have. So far, no harm has come to it. Oh! The pouch that comes with the purchase of a Gold Laced G is red, velvety, slightly padded, and has a string that you can tighten so the pouch closes, keeping the glass toy from falling out from within.

Well...I don't exactly remember the real package my Gold Laced G came in, considering I tackled my postman's vehicle, stole my package from him, and shredded the poor thing open just to get to the contents! In my rush, I also did not notice any instructions, though I am pretty sure the way to use this glass dildo is pretty clear cut, and a guide to use it is unnecessary.

Though, if I remember hard enough, I am pretty sure this came in a blackish, velvet to the touch box by Don Wands. Don't remember if I threw the remnants of said box away. I'd have to scour the inside of my vehicle to make sure.
