The Gold-laced G by SSA Glass is a pretty little toy that will look great in your collection. It is clear with 6 golden criss-crossed sections that wrap around the shaft. It is 6 1/2 inches long, 6 inches insertable, and 3 1/2 inches around. It is somewhat realistic, if you have an active imagination. There is a stylized head at the tip of this toy, about 1 inch in length. There is a flared, oval base, which means that this could be suited to anal play as well as vaginal, though the texture might be too much for some. The base is 2 1/4 inches by 1 1/2 inches, but it is not centered, which means that this likely couldn't be used with a harness. The toy is also slightly curved, though we didn't find that it was enough to reach the G-spot.

It was packaged inside a red velvety bag and wrapped in bubble-wrap so that it could travel safely. The red bag is great for storage. Glass is good for temperature play, and this can be heated up or cooled down easily with water or by sticking it in the fridge. The toy itself is quite thin, but because there is so much texture, I would not suggest this for beginners. The Gold-laced G, like all glass toys, can be used with any kind of lubricant. It is a very safe material and can be cleaned easily with soap and water or toy cleaner, thrown in the dishwasher, or wiped down with a diluted bleach solution.

Experience:
We tried this vaginally, but as I said, it didn't have the perfect curve to hit the G-spot. It is our first textured glass toy, and it was purchased on sale, which definitely means that the price was right. We liked that the size was small enough to work with the texture, but found that it was a little too small. Maybe if we were interested in anal use, it would have been a better size, but even with the amount of texture, it just didn't work for us. We began using it very slowly because of the texture and inflexible nature of glass. We do think that it's a great toy and aren't disappointed that we bought it. We just haven't found the perfect use for it. Maybe with some more use and experimenting, we'll find a better way to use this.

We haven't used this very often since we got it, but I'm hoping that one day it will come back into play. There's nothing wrong with it per se, it's just that we haven't tried experimenting with it yet.
