The Gold Laced G is an erotic glass sculpture that is both beautiful and functional. The honey-colored “lacing” drizzles lazily down the transparent shaft and imparts a lovely golden glow, evoking sunbeams through an icicle on a clear winter morning.

With its sturdy base, this gorgeous piece of art is ideal for display. Though it is abstract, it is unmistakably phallic in shape, so you might want to tuck it away in its storage pouch if you have visitors with whom you would be less than comfortable fielding questions.

Regarding functionality, the Gold Laced G is great for vaginal thrusting and pinpoint G-spot stimulation. It is also perfect for anal play, as its dramatically flared base would prevent the toy from becoming lost in the anal canal.

Due to the design of the off-center base, however, I cannot recommend the Gold Laced G for use in a harness, as there is no base from which to anchor it from the top side. To avoid bruising the cervix and other tender tissues, care must be taken not to use glass toys too roughly; thus, the Gold Laced G is best for manual manipulation anyway. My husband and I have found that the base effectively pulls double duty as a decent handle for maneuvering.

Though care must be taken to avoid dropping it on a hard surface, the Gold Laced G can be used in the shower, the tub, the whirlpool, and the swimming pool. By storing it in its pouch and cushioning it between soft clothing in a suitcase, it can easily be packed for travel since it does not take up much space. It will not set off metal detectors or cause your suitcase to suddenly emit suspicious vibrations.

The Gold Laced G is made from Pyrex, a borosilicate glass that has undergone tempering to increase its durability. Pyrex is latex-, phthalate-, toxin-, and allergen-free. Furthermore, it is nonporous, so it does not harbor bacteria, odors, or tastes/flavors. This material is rated 10 out of 10 for body safety, making glass one of the smartest choices you can make when shopping the sex toy market.

Being made of glass, the Gold Laced G is completely rigid and non-yielding. It is lightly-to-moderately textured with a slightly raised lattice or criss-cross pattern. The lattice feels somewhat “blurred” near the top of the shaft and the pattern does not become pronounced until approximately three inches down from the head.



In addition to the lattice pattern, there are two pronounced horizontal ridges that delineate an abstract glans and frenulum near the tip of the toy. These ridges also add to the texture.



I found the pattern to be pleasantly stimulating during penetration. The lattice texture provides a different sensation from the ridged swirls and the nubs on some of my other textured toys that are made from hard materials.

Since the texture projects only about one millimeter from the surface of the shaft, it is more subtle than the textures on many other glass toys.



Combined with the smaller diameter, this makes the Gold Laced G an excellent choice for someone new to textured hard materials. Since the pattern is somewhat unusual, I would recommend this toy to more advanced users as well.

Standing just slightly over 6 1/2 inches tall when measured from the base to the tip of the shaft, the Gold Laced G has six inches of insertable length. The tapered head widens into a shaft that is approximately 1 1/13 inches in diameter (or 3 3/8 inches in circumference).

While a 1 1/13 inch diameter may sound small for the average user, I have found that going large is not always the best policy. The hardness of the Gold Laced G, in conjunction with its texture, provides a more substantial feel during penetration. Thus, I think it is a wonderful toy for just about anyone (other than exclusive Size Queens/Kings).

The Gold Laced G has a gentle curve to the shaft and a tapered, arching head which serves well for pinpoint G-spot or P-spot stimulation. However, I prefer to use this toy for vaginal thrusting since I personally require a more extreme curve and a more pronounced head to attain much G-spotting pleasure.

My husband did experience some success using the Gold Laced G to stimulate his prostate, though he is usually more successful using a glass toy with a more curved shaft and a bulbous head. However, he did appreciate the smaller diameter and the mildly stimulating texture of this toy for anal penetration. He commented that the Gold Laced G is an excellent choice for anal warm-up to accommodate larger toys.

As previously mentioned, the base is set off-center, but it provides an exceptionally stable platform. Of all my glass toys, I have the most confidence in the base of the Gold Laced G for safely displaying the glass sculpture without concern about it falling over and breaking. The base is egg-shaped and measures two inches long by 1 1/2 inches wide.

My two favorite qualities about glass toys in general are that they are the perfect vehicle for temperature play and that they are delightfully slippery. The Gold Laced G is no exception and I have enjoyed my play sessions with it.

Though I prefer to chill it in the refrigerator, it can also be placed in a basin of ice water. On the flip side, it can be heated by holding it under hot running tap water. Glass retains acquired temperature for a good length of time. This quality encourages leisurely play sessions to savor the effects of differing temperatures on the tactile sensations provided by the lattice texture.

Never place the Gold Laced G in the microwave or in the freezer, as extreme temperatures can not only cause injury to bodily tissues, but can also cause the toy to crack.

Being made of Pyrex, the Gold Laced G is an easy-maintenance toy. Though care must be taken to wash thoroughly around the raised lines, cleaning is not much of a challenge.

Pyrex can be cleansed with antibacterial soap and warm/hot water, with toy cleaner, or with alcohol. To sterilize after anal use or for sharing with a partner, the Gold Laced G can also be soaked in a 10% bleach solution, boiled for three minutes on the stovetop (using a cloth in the bottom of the pot to cushion it from scratches), or placed on the top shelf of the dishwasher.

Though I find that I do not need lube when using this toy vaginally, it is compatible with any type of genital-safe lubrication you desire – be it water-based, oil-based, or silicone. If you will be using this toy anally, lubrication is a must, as the anal canal does not produce adequate amounts of mucous for safe penetration.

Care must be taken to store the Gold Laced G inside its pouch in a safe place. It can also be stored by displaying it on a shelf or dresser, so long as it is not in an area of high traffic where it could easily be damaged. It is always a good idea to give your toys a quick wash before each use, even though you (hopefully) previously washed them before storing them.

Before each use, it is also very important to examine any glass toy for chips, nicks, scratches, or cracks. Do not use if any are noted.

The Gold Laced G arrived in a non-descript box bearing no indication of its contents. Inside the box, nestled amongst packing paper, was a clear plastic bag containing a drawstring pouch. Inside the pouch was the glass toy. There were no user instructions or manufacturer information included.

EdenFantasys includes one of their toy pouches with every purchase of an SSA Glass product. The outer material is a polyester faux suede that is available in either purple or black. The inner material is a fuschia polyester satin (for both the black and the purple pouches). Between the two layers is a very thin cotton liner. The combined layers provide a small amount of protection for the toy. Since there is not a lot of padding, it is advisable to keep the toy in an area where hard objects will not collide with it (like in a sock drawer).

The Gold Laced G has an unusually-shaped head and a uniquely-patterned texture. Though I could find no other glass toy that offers these similarities, I have included four glass toys below of various textures that you might find interesting. The Swirled G has a similar base (though a different texture, different type of head, and a different curve to the shaft). Also, I believe the Rainbow Swirl dildo and the Ribbed Twister would be similarly light in texture, though they feature different patterns from the Gold Laced G. Finally, the Swirl Ribbed Glass Dildo With Curved G-spot Head is definitely a step up as far as offering a more intense texture.

But if you are wanting a gently stimulating experience with glass, what could be sweeter than a slender icicle lightly laced with golden honey goodness?
