The Deep Water G is both a gorgeous piece of art and an excellent, pleasure-giving tool. The toy is made to stimulate a woman's G-spot, but must be used cautiously so as not to bruise the cervix because it is very firm and heavy. Since it's so heavy, you might want to make sure you have some good arm-strength before getting this toy. The DWG does not have a flared based, so I can't recommend it for safe anal-play unless you put a base on it. It is waterproof, so you can use it in the bath, shower or pool. Glass is great for temperature-play, too.

Deep Water G is made of borosilicate glass, which is the same material of which your Pyrex dishes are made. Borosilicate glass is non-porous, phthalates-free, latex-free, and hypoallergenic, and thus very hygienic. It rates a ten on Eden's material safety scale. It is very firm and smooth, and may not be the best material for beginners unless they start with something small. Glass has no odor, taste, or smell. It can be made into a completely smooth dildo, or can be made to have several textures.

Glass is an excellent material for temperature-play. You can soak the toy in warm water to get it nice and warm, or you can chill it in the refrigerator to cool it off. Make sure you never use the toy if it is frosty because you don't want it sticking to your skin.

Always check glass toys for chips, cracks, or scrapes before using, and discard if there are any. If you order a glass toy and it has chips or cracks, then send it back.

The shape of this toy is rather unique. The bottom has two rounded bulbs, and the curved shaft has a line of bumps that lead up to the phallic head. The Deep Water G is a beautiful blue. It is much brighter in color than the product picture shows; it is still dark, but when you hold it up you can see the actual color is lighter. It isn't realistic, but you can definitely tell that it is a dildo.

The Deep Water G's size is probably not for beginners. It isn't huge, but since it is glass and has no give, some may find it overwhelming.

Compared to LELO's Ella:

I am very pleased with the performance of this toy. It isn't the easiest to maneuver because it's heavy, but the little bulb serves as a decent handle. Glass is heavy, so it does tire my arm. I like the shape of this toy and think it serves as a pretty good G-spotter. Its curve is gentle though, so if you want something really intense you might want something else.

Glass is very easy to clean, and there are several methods to do so. I prefer to wash my glass toys with soap and water because it's easiest. Other methods include boiling for 3-5 minutes, wiping down with a 10% bleach solution, washing in the top rack of the dishwasher with no soap, using toy spray, or using toy wipes. Whatever method you use, make sure that you get into all the grooves and around all the nubs.

I store my Deep Water G in the pouch with which it came. You can store it anywhere, but I would suggest wrapping it in something so that it doesn't get scratched.

Glass is compatible with lubricants that are oil, silicone, and water-based; feel free to use this toy with whatever your favorite is.

SSA Glass packaging consists of two things: a small sheet of bubble wrap and a flimsy velvet bag. The toy comes wrapped in bubble wrap and inside the bag. The velvet bag is really low quality. It is thin, with no padding, and its drawstring doesn't even close all the way. You could always purchase something else to put the toy in, but I just use the bag.
