The Royal Duet by SSA glass, is a beautifully crafted straight, doubled ended dildo that has two different textures one on each end. Since there isn't a flared base on this toy, it is recommended for use as a vaginal dildo only. While this toy has a longer length than others, there is still the chance for it to become 'lost' if used anally. Whether you're alone or with a partner, you can have fun with this toy either way. Choose whatever end you like best and go to town.

Beginners and advanced users alike will enjoy this toy for its stimulating design. Remember not to get too eager with this toy however, as glass is rigid and hard enough thrusting can and will bruise the cervix. Take caution when playing, and always play safely. Since this toy has no mechanical parts, or any other damageable features aside from being glass, you can take it with you to bed or in the pool if you're on the adventurous side. Just be careful not to drop it.

This toy can be traveled with, as long as you keep it in the pouch provided or something to conceal it. It can be placed in your luggage or bag and taken with you, but be careful not to bump it around too much.

The Royal Duet by SSA glass is made of 100% borosilicate glass, or known as its most common name, Pyrex glass. It is non-porous, hypoallergenic, non-toxic, latex and phthalate free. Glass rates a 10 out of 10 on the Eden safety scale, so you can be worry free that your toy won't harbor any bacteria as long as you clean it properly. Glass is a rigid, unyielding material that will not bend or form to your body, so be careful when thrusting. It is cool to the touch, and can be warmed up through temperature control by placing it in warm water or an ice bath to suit your preferences.

Glass has absolutely no taste or smell, so those with sensitivities should find this material suitable, as long as they can deal with the rigidity. Because it is non-porous, glass will not harbor any tastes or smells after use either. The toy itself is not made to look realistic in any form, and because of its rigidity, does not feel as such. The Royal Duet can be used by both beginners and advanced users alike, as long as the beginner is looking to try textures for the first time. This toy is dual ended, and has textures on both ends, one more intimidating then the other, so beginners may wish to work up to it.

One end is swirled, and only slightly raised, which adds to the stimulation only a little, so beginners may find this a good choice to begin with. The other end, has bumps rather than swirls and are a bit more prominent, and can be felt along the vaginal wall. Overall, both ends are nice. Remember that this glass is made to break into chunks, rather than shatter if dropped, but always be careful handling it.

The Royal Duet is a straight, double ended dildo with two different textures on each end. One end has bumps, which can be felt quite a lot in use, along with a ridge along the 'head' to make it a bit more realistic. The other end of the Duet is swirled, and is a lighter texture that can only be slightly felt along the vaginal wall when thrusting. However, either end has its own unique appeal. This dildo was not made for g-spot stimulation, although if you did angle it in such a way, one might be able to reach theirs.

The measurements for this toy are as follows:

Length: 9-1/4"
Circumference: 3-1/2"
Diameter: 1-1/4"

This size is suitable for both beginners or advanced users, but if the user is looking for a bit more girth they will not find it in this toy. However, because of the design and the texture, this toy should be satisfying to those who like textured toys. This toy does not have a realistic look and honestly looks more like a fancy massage item rather than a sex toy. However, I would not leave this out on the table for everyone to see because that might not fool everyone. Traveling with this is easy, just place it in the pouch it comes with or your own and tuck it away in your luggage or bag.

Everyone is different but users who enjoy texture may enjoy the bumpy end more than the swirled. In my experience, I personally preferred the bumpy end, as the swirled end did not do much for me. This toy is absolutely beautiful and the textures are a beautiful sapphire blue, so think the color of the hope diamond from the movie Titanic that she threw overboard. I have other dildos with the swirled feature, and those are much more prominent than the one on this toy. Whether that is unique to mine or to everyone's I do not know.

This toy is double ended, and so it is not harness compatible. There is no suction cup for hands free fun either, since this toy is made for two people or just one that likes variety. Overall, the performance of this toy was great, I just didn't care for the swirled design on the one end.

Glass is very easy to care for. Since this toy is non-porous, you can clean it in a variety of ways to keep it sterilized. Simply wash it in warm soapy water, wipe it down with a toy cloth, use a toy cleaner, put it in the top rack of your dishwasher, boil it, or wipe it down with a 10% bleach, 90% water solution. When cleaning, be sure to get in and around the textures of the toy, as nasties have a tendency to become lodged next to the bumps and swirls, so if you can, find a brush or something else to clean around them. When boiling this toy or putting it in the dishwasher, remember that the toy will be hot when you plan on removing it, so be sure to take caution and wear heat resistant gloves or other protective wear when picking it up straight out of the dishwasher or pot.

Remember that glass is slippery when wet, so be careful when washing it not to drop it, as it can possibly break on any surface. Always make sure to inspect your glass toys before using them, and make sure that there are no cracks, chips, breaks or scratches on any part of the toy. If you find any of these, discard of the toy and replace it, as you shouldn't take any risks when you're using this toy for its intended purpose. Hospital visits are never fun and you should always practice safety when playing with glass toys. Remember to always replace your toy back in the bubble wrap and pouch when cleaned, to prevent from breaking or scratching the toy, and never put large amounts of pressure on the toy, whether that be during playtime or in your toy chest.

All lubricants are compatible with glass. This means that you can choose from your favorite water, silicone or oil based lubes worry-free of it reacting with the material. If you're using this toy with another, be sure that any other toys this one comes into contact with while lubricant is applied, that both toys are compatible with the lubricant. If cared for properly, glass will last a lifetime.

The Royal Duet comes packed in bubble wrap inside of the standard red velveteen pouch all other SSA Glass products come in. This pouch is thin, and has no padding inside of it whatsoever, so if you want something more protective you can either purchase one here on Eden Fantasys or make one yourself. As far as being discreet, the package covers the toy, and you can't tell what's inside unless you opened it. Since there isn't any padding to this pouch, it's best to keep the bubble wrap the toy comes in as well, otherwise the pouch will just keep your toy from getting banged up and scratched. The material is soft to the touch, and on the inside it is soft as well, so there are no worries of the pouch itself scratching the toy either.

There are no instructions on how to care for or use the toy included, but that's not a big deal since it's obvious how you can clean and use the toy. As far as gifting goes, the pouch it comes in would make this toy a great stocking stuffer for a partner or close friend, but if you're gifting this on a special occasion or a birthday, a nice gift bag or box is the way to go.
