This was only my second sex toy and I got it based on reviews that said it was good for beginners. I've definitely found that to be an accurate description.

The Material:

The texture of the glass is wonderful. Because it's so smooth, I haven't needed any lube if I'm properly turned on, despite the fact that it's larger than what I'm used to. Also, I love the way you can control the temperature of the glass. I personally like it really cold, but it's easily warmed under a pillow during foreplay.

The glass is incredibly easy to clean. I just use a little soap in some hot water and it comes perfectly clean, whether you clean it right away or wait until the next day. I like things very low maintenance, so it's been great not to worry about sanitizing it. There's absolutely no odor or residue after it's cleaned.

Size & Shape:

Right now, I love the size. It was about 1/2" thicker in diameter than my last toy and after a month, it's very comfortable. The only concern I have is that I'm going to grow out of it. Already, I'm starting to crave something a little wider and longer. So if you're NOT a beginner, this may not be the toy for you.

The bulges in the design are really nice for some textural contrast without being abrasive.

Appearance:

The color is beautiful, much more varied than you see in the photograph. It has a multi-colored sheen when you turn it in the light. The shape also makes it more discreet. When my mother saw it, she was surprised to learn that it was a dildo. If I weren't afraid that it would roll off my shelf, I think I would feel comfortable having it out in the open.
