My partner and I were so excited to receive this toy. We are always looking for new things to incorporate into our sex life besides our own hands, as a disability has made just using hands difficult for me. We had never used a glass toy before, and we were excited to get our chance to try what we had heard so many of our friends rant and rave about. Unfortunately, these high hopes combined with the quality of the toy we received ultimately resulted in our disappointment.

This spiral glass dildo comes with a lavender velour drawstring bag for storage, which I personally found to be a little tacky. Also, the dildo itself is affixed with a sticker bearing the company's name which must be peeled off before use for health purposes, which was mildly annoying but not too big of a deal.

I first used this dildo on my partner to stimulate her clit, which provided an interesting sensation much different than that provided by any of our silicone toys. Then I inserted the toy, and at first her response was pleasurable, but as I got to the bumpy area of the dildo she began to writhe uncomfortably. I removed it to just before the bumps, which only provided me with about two inches to insert, giving some pleasure to my partner, but that small of a length just wasn't cutting it. We tossed the toy aside and moved on to something else.

I later asked her to use the toy on me to see if we could get any better results, but unfortunately the outcome was the same. We agree that the bumps are not at all subtle and feel sharp and stabbing rather than smooth and sensuous. I gave this toy two stars because it is able to be used for clitoral and shallow vaginal penetration, but I would not recommend it for anything more than that.

I was not ready to give up on this toy after the first bad experience. After some experimenting, I did find another way to use this toy. It is a little more pleasurable to insert the bulbous end rather than the swirled and bumpy end, though I still would only rate it at three stars even with this different use. You can still only insert it up to the bumps without pain, and while using the bulbous end does add more length than using the swirled end, it still only amounts to about three inches, which I found to be inadequate. I think if this lacked the bumps it would be an excellent product.
