A Basic Gem

The Ruby G is a nice, basic option for someone who's just starting out with a glass piece. The surface is smooth and the size is comfortable, even for someone who hasn't had a lot of toy experience. The two different ends provide different types of stimulation, which really makes this seem like two toys in one. While the curved tip might be a little too pointy, the bulbous end makes up for that.

Use

Ruby G from SSA Glass is a pretty basic glass dildo that's simplicity is perfect for those that prefer straightforward stimulation without all kinds of texture. The shape of this toy is designed to focus on your G-spot more than anything. The curved end is great for targeting your most sensitive areas, and the straight shaft keeps the focus on the curve. The round bulb on the end makes a great handle for thrusting, but can also be turned around and inserted for a different type of stimulation. Whether or not this connects well with your G-spot will depend on anatomy, and since it lacks a curve to the shaft, it might be a little more difficult to connect well with it.

Though vaginal insertion is the best use for this toy, you can use it anally if you're careful. While there isn't a truly flared base on the end, the bulb makes it easier to handle and less likely to slip out of your grasp. Only insert the curved end, as inserting the wider end first would make it more likely for the toy to slip in further than desired. The tip may work for prostate stimulation, but that will depend on your anatomy. Since there's no curve to the shaft itself, it might be a little more difficult to reach the desired areas, just like with G-spot stimulation.

Apart from solo use, you can easily use this product with a partner; hand over the dildo and let them do all the work! Since this is such a rigid toy, you do want to be careful that you're not thrusting too hard. Getting rough with a rigid toy makes it possible to cause a great deal of discomfort and can potentially bruise the cervix. Make sure you're vocal with your partner if you're experiencing discomfort. You want to be pleased, not pained.

A massage is also simplified with this piece. The bulbous end works great for broad stimulation, while the curved end provides a more pin-point and deeper stimulation. It glides easily over the body and works great and relaxing tired and sore muscles.

Arguably one of the best features of this material is the ability to use it for temperature play. This type of glass holds its temperature very well and can really enhance your experiences.

To heat things up place the dildo in a bowl or sink of warm water for 5 to 10 minutes. Always test the temperature prior to insertion to make sure it's not going to burn you or your partner. Never heat the dildo up in the microwave. This could result in the toy heating unevenly and causing burns to some of your most sensitive skin. Stick with the sink or bowl of water.

To cool things off you have a couple different options. You can place the dildo in the fridge for a few hours prior to your playtime, or you can cool it off with an ice bath in either the sink or a bowl. About 5 to 10 minutes is all it should take. Never place the dildo in the freezer since your skin could potentially stick to it and cause a painful experience. The ice water will cool it off enough that you don't need to place it in the freezer.

Since there are no internal working parts to this toy, there's no concern about bringing it into the tub or shower with you. Just keep in mind that the glass is very slippery when it's wet, so make sure you have a good grip on it.

Material / Texture

Ruby G is made from Pyrex Glass which is also known as Borosilicate and Tempered Glass. This type of glass is an extremely safe material that has an Eden safety rating of 10/10. It's made from food-grade material, is hypo-allergenic, non-porous, latex free, and phthalates free. It's very durable and is commonly found in bakeware since it handles temperature changes so well and is less likely to shatter if something were to happen to it.

Being glass, the whole toy is very rigid. There's no give to any area of it and there are no moving parts. This is great for those that prefer firm pressure on their G-spot, but you do need to be careful since it offers no forgiveness if you thrust too hard. The surface of the toy is very smooth and has absolutely no texture to it. The smooth feeling makes insertion comfortable and is great for beginners or those that prefer smoother toys. More experienced toy users or those that prefer textured toys will probably find this to be a very 'boring' or basic toy.

This toy arrives with no funny scent to it, and doesn't pick up one as it's used.

Design / Shape / Size

Though this toy is called Ruby G, it doesn't appear to be very ruby in color while you're just holding it. It looks like more of an amber coloring than not, similar to the glass used for some beer bottles. However, when you hold it up to the light, that's when the true color shines through! The beautiful ruby red coloring is obvious only when held up to light, but is very difficult to capture with a camera.


This double ended dildo is like having two toys in one. Each end provides you with unique sensations that will fit your different moods and tastes. It features a curved tip, a straight shaft, and a bulbous end. The lack of texture on this dildo focuses the user on the pin-point stimulation of the curved tip, or the popping sensation of the bulbous end, and would be suitable for beginners and advanced users alike.


Nothing about this toy is realistic in any way and is very discreet in general. While someone that's familiar with sex toys would probably know what it is, others might look at it and wonder what it would be used for. It doesn't exactly resemble anything else and unlike a lot of glass pieces, this one isn't nearly beautiful enough to pass it off as a piece of art. The fact that it might puzzle someone makes it more discreet than not, but be prepared to come up with a reasonable answer if someone asks and you don't want them knowing it's a sex toy.

The size is 7 1/2" in length, with 6 1/2" being insertable. The shaft diameter is 1" and should be suitable for beginners, thought might seem a little large at first to someone who's never been penetrated. The bulbous end is 1 1/2" in diameter, and while 1/2" might not seem like much, a beginner might need to work up to it. Size queens will feel that this toy is far too slim for them to feel satisfied with, but the average user would find it just right. Keep in mind, since there's no give to this piece, it will feel larger than a softer material of the same size.


This toy is suitable enough for travel, but it's not extremely compact. It could fit inside a purse, backpack, briefcase, etc. but takes up a decent amount of space. The biggest issue with travel is making sure your toy remains protected. Purchasing a padded pouch or wrapping something soft around the toy is necessary to make sure the surface doesn't become damaged and the quality isn't compromised.

Performance

Ruby G is a great shape and size for most users, however, some might not prefer the type of stimulation it provides. Since the tip is so pointed, some users might feel like it's poking them rather than stimulating. If that's the case, keep in mind that the other side is totally round and would be a more suitable feeling if you don't like the pin-point stimulation the opposite end provides.

Care and Maintenance

This, like all glass toys, is very easy to clean and care for. Before each use, check your toy over just to make sure there's no damage, and don't be afraid to give it a quick clean. After each use, you can clean it with antibacterial soap and warm water, or your favorite sex toy cleaner. If you're sharing with a partner or switching between orifices, make sure to fully sterilize by wiping the toy down with a 10% bleach solution, or by placing it on the top rack of your dishwasher.

Being that this is glass, any lubricant is compatible with it, and a little goes a long way! Because of the already slick surface, it's not necessary to use much lube in order to get things gliding easily. Just make sure you avoid using an oil-based lube for vaginal use.

Storing is also quite simple since there are no material compatibility concerns. However, you want to at least keep it in the included pouch and be careful when storing it with other rigid materials, especially other glass toys. You don't want them clanking against each other since that could potentially be harmful to your toys. Investing in a padded pouch is the wisest option, but as long as you're careful, the included pouch is fine.

    • Easy to store

Packaging

This toy comes wrapped in bubble wrap and is inside a red velvet bag that has black drawstrings. The pouch is very thin and protects your toy from surface damage, but won't keep your toy safe if it were to fall or clank against another glass toy. There's no information on care, no instructions; not even the company name on the bag or toy itself. It doesn't get much more minimal than that! The bubble wrap can be used until the air is gone and recycled, or you can instantly recycle it. If you do upgrade to a padded pouch, the included one could easily work for another toy of similar size.
