I have a new best friend.

When I first approached glass toys, I never figured they would be better than a vibrating, realistic dildo. When you think of sex toys, you want something close to reality - at least I do! (or did, in any case). This toy has completely changed my view on sex toys altogether.

Let's start out with the packaging - it's simple, a velvet black zip-tie bag with a pink satin interior keeps the glass toy from being scratched when not in use, but it's more than I expected! With most toys you get a plain box with some lewd picture on the front, but this is more elegant and practical.

As for the toy itself, it is surprisingly heavy! Considering it's completely solid glass (and thankfully it is - can you imagine a hollow glass sex toy? Yeowch!). Because it's glass, it has no smell, no taste, and best of all: no friction.

Sex toys, no matter what material, always cause some friction, no matter how much lube you may use. But with glass, it glides smoothly across skin, making it wonderful for teasing a partner or yourself. This is why I love this toy so much. With lube, the friction nearly disappears. Lube can sink in to certain materials, but not glass! No rough rubbing, very little loss of lube, and I know this all sounds very scientific, but it boils down to one aspect: it makes this toy feel utterly amazing.

Even without vibration, even without a realistic look, each individual bulb on this toy feels silken and smooth as it slides into you. They're even sized just enough to not making stretching yourself out uncomfortable as you move down the bumps. The bulbs are not quite sized for stretching, but they are a bit larger as you move along it.

The slight curve it has creates a natural feeling when the toy is inside of you, which you can wiggle or turn for some extra stimulation. The larger ball at the very bottom makes an excellent grip for the hand holding the toy to slide in and out. Should you outgrow this toy in terms of wanting something bigger, you can always flip it around and start from the large bulb on down!

I approached this toy with very little expectations. I didn't expect a glass toy, without a realistic look, without any bells or whistles, vibrations or squirming, could do anything to get me off, but I have happily been proven wrong. I'm almost to the point where I want to throw out every other toy I own and set this in the center of my dresser proudly!

There's no bigger endorsement for a toy than saying "It made me have one HELL of an orgasm." and that's just what this toy did. I love it, and I'm sure you will too.
