The Sweet Candy Cane by SSA Glass arrived in a large shipment from Eden in a cardboard box from the USPS. The toy came in a shipment of several other things and was nice and discreet.

The Sweet Candy Cane is packaged in a red velvet drawstring pouch. Inside of the drawstring pouch the candy cane is wrapped in bubble wrap to protect it during shipping. Initially when we first started looking at this toy the pouch it came in was padded to provide some protection for the toy after the bubble wrap was removed.

The new pouch the ours came in no longer has padding. It is literally just the material the bag is made of and the material really doesn't provide any sort of impact resistance. That is kind of a let down because although the toy is made of heavy damage resistant glass it still is glass and glass still breaks if its hit hard enough. I mean if this toy is never going to leave your bedroom and its going to be kept for the most part in your bedside drawer you wont have to worry much but if you are going to be bringing this on the road with you you might want to upgrade that pouch to something a bit more shielding.

The pouch that comes with the toy is about 10 inches long by 4 inches wide. The pouch closes by the use of a one sided draw string. You may also want to consider upgrading the pouch to something better because the draw string really does not create any resistance against the bag and because of that it really does not keep it closed unless you tie a knot in the string, and doing that causes a problem when you want to get it open in a hurry.

The Sweet Candy Cane itself is about 7 1/2 inches long and has a circumference of about 3 inches. (which is about 1 inch in diameter). It is shaped just like your basic candy cane with a handle that loops around to follow the main shaft of the toy. If you are a fan of a toy with texture this toy is just not for you. The Sweet Candy Cane is literally smooth as glass from end to end. It is a clear glass with red stripes on it and I have seen other products where the red stripe is actually another piece of glass wrapped around it giving you a nice bumpy texture. This toy looks as if the glass has been colored instead of having more different colored glass added to the candy cane.

The toy by itself really is as discrete as it could possibly be. If you saw this sitting out on a table during the winter months at anybody's house you would immediately associate it with a decoration. It is a beautifully made glass piece and something you could leave out and play with all of the time even more so around the winter.

This toy is made of Borosilicate Glass which makes it a number 10 on the Eden safety scale. Borosilicate Glass is non porous which prevents bacteria from hiding anywhere on the toy. This also makes it a breeze for cleaning. You can run it under the tap and scrub it with some soap and water to clean it off. You can also use toy wipes or even run it through your dishwasher to be extra sure that it is clean.

Glass is also perfect for temperature play. You can submerge the Sweet Candy Cane in warm or cold water and the glass will hold that out of the ordinary temperature for a while for you to tantalize your partner with. The downside of the Sweet Candy Cane is that since it is made of glass it is possible to break it. With enough force or a drop onto a hard surface you may find that the toy will break on you. The good news is the Glass tends to break up in big chunks when it breaks it tends to be a safe.

For what you spend you really get a great toy. The truth is even if you use it once and never use it again its beautiful and you can leave it out for the holidays and nobody will be the wiser. Its one of those few sex toys that you can pass as an every day item and get away with it. There's nothing like leaving a sex toy that you used on your SO out in the open for everyone to see. We love ours and in fact I may leave it some place out in the open, you never know I may end up getting to use it tonight!

The Sweet Candy Cane is a toy that can be passed off as an every day holiday item but can be used for fun in the bed room. With its smooth texture it is a great anal toy as well as being great for temperature play. With it being smooth all the way around its downfall is that it can be fun for vaginal play but it really wont rock your world. It has no way to stimulate your clit or your g spot because it has a straight and rounded design. Personally I like to engage in warm and cold temperature play with ours and make sure she gets it nice and wet so I can lick it clean like a real candy cane. (I think I like her flavor more than a real candy cane!!)

They call it the Sweet Candy Cane for a reason!

Ahh the candy cane...

The truth is we still like it but we still like it at probably more of a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Why the slight drop? Well the truth is its still very cool to look at, its still fun to play with every once in a while but truthfully who wants to play with a candy cane in the middle of the summer when you have all sorts of other sweet toys to play with.

It is still fun to play with but not likely to get pulled out that often when its far away from Christmas. However I cant wait to put it in a bowl of cold water and ice to give the secretary some chills in her Mrs Santa lace!

Well worth the purchase! We still like it!
