The Flowered Friend is meant to be used vaginally to stimulate the G-spot, if the nicely bulbed head and nubs along the curved shaft are any indication. It could be used alone or with a partner, although the receiving party should be familiar and comfortable using glass toys and/or using toys with pronounced texture. This fancy glass dildo is designed with female anatomy in mind; anal use is highly discouraged since there is no flare to keep it from getting stuck. On a similar note, this toy should be used with caution by those with a vagina, since thrusting a glass toy too hard or deep could cause cervical bruising.

Given that this toy is both made of glass and nubbed, it is not ideal for a beginner, and perhaps not even for those with a bit of experience. The nubs are quite pronounced and big for its size, about 1/8 inch diameter and spaced about 1/4 inch apart. The glass makes it not flexible at all, and it will retain its surrounding temperature quite well, making it suitable for temperature play. All of this combined makes for a unique type of stimulation, with the nubs on a hot or cold toy sliding against labia and vaginal walls.

The coloring of the glass itself is beautiful, especially with the blue model. The bulbous head and rounded end are both clear, with the end sporting a flower design within the glass. The body of the glass dildo is dark blue when looked at normally, but it is actually a much more vivid and clear blue when held up to the light. There were some air bubbles in the glass, but as long as they are not close to the surface of the toy, this should not pose any problem.
Out of the 7 inches this toy measures, 6 inches are insertable. It is a good size for deeper penetration that is less likely to bruise the cervix, although caution still must be exercised. The nubs add about half of an inch in diameter if one were to measure the toy straight around the shaft. The shaft itself is curved slightly for G-spot stimulation.

While this particular glass dildo is not beginner-friendly, it does offer more seasoned sex toy aficionados an experience that only nubbed glass can provide. It penetrates well, if not a bit uncomfortably when little to no lube is used. There is nothing harness-compatible about this toy, so a free hand (yours or not) is required if one wants to experience the feeling of the nubs sliding in and out.

This glass dildo can be cleaned very easily using any one of several methods. Toy cleaner or soap and water is usually enough to clean it, although the area around the nubs and the round handle might require a bit more attention. Alternatively, it can be completely sanitized by placing it in boiling water for several minutes. Any type of lube is compatible with glass, which is important with this particular toy because using a lube one is comfortable with could mean the difference between a great or an unpleasant experience. It can be stored anywhere and alongside any other kinds of toys.
