No. 17 is designed for G-spot stimulation or just a really good thrusting session. (Watch that cervix!) The flared base allows it to be used with a partner or solo. Anal sessions shouldn't be much of a problem for the advanced crowd out there.

It's so gorgeous, you'll be tempted to set it on the mantle or leave it on the bedside table. It's so durable and solid, you could use the thing as a weapon if you had to. Hey, hey! I said if you had to, I'm not advocating violence by dildo. Unless that's your preferred kink, then more power to you!

There's nothing complicated, difficult or time consuming about this toy. You get what you see, and that my friends is a gorgeous dildo that you'll want to use again and again!

It's seamless Pyrex glass, baby! Aw, yeaah! This means it is virtually indestructible. To test my theory on just how unbreakable this toy is, I purposefully knocked it over from a standing position onto the hardest wooden surface in my home --- solid oak. There was a small bounce and a thud and a cringe from me as it landed. There was not one dent, scratch or hint of damage on the toy nor did the base fracture. It is very well made and smooth as, well... glass.

Shaft from tip to base: 8.25"
Shaft Circumference: 3"

The No. 17 is a very beautiful toy. The shaft is a deep cobalt blue, with a clear bulbous head that has a gorgeous hand-blown glass flower inside. The flower in the toy I received is mostly yellow with a hint of very light orange on the petals. This produces a very unique effect that is explained in the personal experience section of this review.

The shaft has a very slight curve that begins about three inches from the top of the head. This curve and the weight of the toy itself makes this a perfect toy for thrusting! Did I mention it's absolutely gorgeous?

It's not too thick and not too thin, just right as Goldilocks would proclaim! I have yet to experience some of the more common problems with glass dildos --- it doesn't drag or pull on the skin if I happen to get dry for a second or two. It has a solid weight but isn't too heavy, and the length provides plenty of room for a tight grip when lubricant is used.

Temperature play was an interesting experiment. The glass holds heat extremely well and for quite some time. Freezing it was kind of a different story. I keep my home between 78 and 80 degrees during the summer, and after fifteen minutes of being in the freezer, the glass defrosted and was back at room temp within ten minutes. Let's put this into terms of body heat. The vaginal canal is between 98.6 and 100 degrees in temperature. You do the math. No really I beg you, math was never my strong suit.

I can't think of a single thing I don't like about this toy. The curve, the color, the design, the weight... all of it is absolutely perfect!

Easy-peasy! Hot water, some dish soap or other liquid soap, a water/bleach solution or a run through the dishwasher (without soap) will clean this toy up nicely. I did forget to clean it off immediately after use one evening, and removing the dried fluids was a little more labor-intensive than I suspected it would be. Still, it's nothing to really complain about.

There is no maintenance with this toy unless you want to use it as a decoration. I suggest giving it a thorough wash before you use it. Technically, that's something we should all do anyway, but we all know we've pulled a toy out of the drawer and gone for it without giving it a good rinse first!

This toy is compatible with all condoms and lubricants.

I discovered this toy had one more trick up its sleeve when reviewing a video taken during a particularly fun session. The head of the dildo would catch the flash in just the right way so that it looked like something out of a rave. It was almost as if the dildo itself was flashing and really drew focus to the area of my body I was using it on.

I also discovered that it is in fact a great massager. Massaging achy muscles with the head of the shaft while alternating between temperatures is very relaxing and a great couples activity!
