The Ocean Bliss-
The Ocean Bliss would make an amazing glass piece for those who are new to the feel of a textured glass toy. I don't suggest using this toy, even though it has a base, in a harness. The base is a little narrow and unless you are extremely careful the glass could be a little much for extreme thrusting. Before you attempt to harness this toy, try it out by hand first and see if the texture (the upraised bumps) aren't too intense for rougher play. I would say that the base simply exists to make this toy easier to hold and thrust.

I love these two colors on a glass toy, colors like blue/green/black make the toy a little less gendered, and this dildo is great for any sex. It works for both anal and vaginal play, and partnered or solo masturbation.



Glass properties
The best lube to use with this type of glass is water-based, silicone works well too but water based is generally the wettest and best for glass, especially textured glass. be sure to reapply this lube as soon as it begins to dry. Glass is amazing because you can use it anywhere, you don't have to worry about getting a motor wet, or having your vibrator run out of batteries.

Heating and Cooling
Glass is great because you can heat or cool it. I find that hot temperatures are good on cold, dreary days or for foreplay, whereas, cold glass is great to play with on a hot day, or after your already turned on and super hot down below. After all the blood pumps to your vulva/anus, it is a great sensation to cool yourself down drastically with a "frosty" glass.

Cleaning and lubing your glass
Glass is super easy to clean, as well as share. You can clean it by boiling, wiping, or dipping. To boil glass, simply place your toy in a pot of already boiling water. Leave your toy in the water for about three minutes and pull it out to polish it a few times. The only thing to watch out for is chipping your toy, so avoid dropping your toy suddenly or boiling it alongside others. You can also wipe your toy down with a Eden Wipe or a wet soapy clothe. Dipping your toy in a bleach solution is super easy and only takes a few minutes. Get a glass, or bowl, and create a 10% bleach, 90% water, solution. Make sure to air dry your toys after cleaning, and playing.

Properties of Pyrex (glass), according to Eden-
Pyrex is a hard material with a high chemical resistance and mechanical strength. The boron in Pyrex reduces any stress caused to the material due to temperature changes. It is less dense than ordinary glass, making it much more resistant to shattering and breaking as well, if it were to break it would not shatter or splinter into tiny pieces but instead it would snap or break in large pieces. It retains temperature extremely well and requires only a little lube for a super-slippery effect.

Travel
It is probably best to invest in a well padded sleeve, if you want to travel and bring the glass with you. Slightly padded sleeves are OK, if you don't want toys to chip, but I suggest the larger bags for this glass.

I have also reviewed two Doc Johnson glass products.

These are the Pipedream products-
Original Clear

If you're unsure which brand of glass you would like, I suggest simply choosing based on the quality rather than the name attached to the product. More glass wands are composed out of similar materials, so all that is left is for the product to feel and look amazing.

This SSA piece is comparable to other SSA glass products I have reviewed.

Handling Glass
Pyrex is solid, but life happens. I have a huge collection of glass toys, not all are pictured below, and I have broken a few of them in my lifetimes. Here are a few tips on how to avoid shattering your lovelies:
Don't leave them in your bed: Put them in their cases when you're done playing.
Buy padded sleeves for them: This will make it so they don't rub on other toys.
Boil them separately: This is so that the glass doesn't 'clink' together.
After boiling, when they are super hot, cradle them in a towel and not tongs.
Air dry them before picking them up.
Don't place them next to other dishes in the dishwasher, or keep them out of harms way by putting them in the silverware holders.

For some reason, I break glass toys constantly. I have hard wood floors, love sleeping next to my glass, and have a habit of storing them in a big pile. Hopefully you're more responsible! Glass is certainly worth the small amount of work that is needed to make sure the toy remains safe and usable. Remember that, although Pyrex is sturdy, if your toy chips or cracks, anywhere on the insertable shaft, it is likely time to scrap it.

I think this toy would make a great gift. The intense colors are juxtaposed against a less textured toy, making it gorgeous and alright for beginners. It's not too intimidating in size and isn't too crazy too give as a gift. This would made any bachelor/bachelorette party amazing!

Thoughts-
I have been asked to provide a few more details about the toy, rather than the material and sizing, so here is the story of my experience-
I like the, swirled blue, head on this toy because it makes it quite easy to insert and the slight upraised glass bumps add a great deal of texture, especially against my g-spot. I'm not too fond of toys with bases, because dual-sided toys give the user a lot more to work with and I don't really understand the need for a base at all.
This toy doesn't have many flaws, I think I might be rarity due to my dislike of based toys, but I knew that when I ordered this toy and so far I haven't been disappointed with this glass piece.

My Partner's Opinion
I would say this glass piece is above average- though certainly not my favorite. It's simply pretty to look at with its clean lines and deep blue color. The head on this toy is bit large to be comfortable for me and I wish the toy was double sided instead of based (that would make it a lot more exciting), but the nubs are quite pleasurable and glass is one of my favorite materials.
