The Amethyst is a double-ended dildo - both ends can be used for vaginal stimulation. The curved tip is good for finding your G-spot. The bubbled end is straight, and lets someone explore texture. The glass makes the toy firm and easy to apply pressure, and it can also be used for temperature play. Glass is also body-safe and waterproof, so feel free to explore it in the water. This toy is not meant for anal play, because there is no flared base, and it is very small. It is a very slim toy, so it is perfect for beginners or for those exploring glass toys. You can thrust it, rock it, and figure out what you like. I would suggest it for solo use, but couples can play with it, too.

The material for the Amethyst is borosilicate glass, which is a 10 on the EF safety scale; it is non-porous, hypoallergenic, non-toxic, latex-free and phthalate-free. The glass is firm. It is also fragile, so if dropped on a hard surface, it will break (like most glass.) If you do drop it and it breaks, it won't shatter. Because it is glass, it can be used for temperature play because it holds temperature (hot or cold.) It will also warm up to your body heat as well. Also, there is no smell or taste to this glass.

There are two different ends to this toy. The curved tip is slender, with no texture on it except for a bit of an enlarged head. The non-curved side has a bubbled texture of 3 bubbles and one smaller bubble. This is a good texture to experience for beginners, and many others will enjoy it as well. The texture is very simple, though, so texture lovers may not enjoy this toy.

This toy is small but quite unique. It offers two different simulations. One end is curved and smooth. The end of this side can be used to massage and find your G-spot and apply pressure. The other side is bubbled and straight created to create a textured stimulation. This toy does not look realistic, but it would be extremely easy to guess what it is.

This is a very good toy for beginners or those who are new to glass; it is good for trying to figure out if you like bubbles and find out where your G-spot is. Some advanced users will have fun with this toy as well, but size queens will not like the size of this toy due to it being pretty thin and not that long. Due to its size, I think you could actually travel with this toy, unlike some of the bigger glass dildos.

It's about 7 inches, but since it's curved, you can only insert about 3 inches of bubbles and 4 inches of the curved side. The bubbled side has a diameter of 1 1/4 inches max, and the other side is a little less than an inch for most of the shaft.

This is a pretty neat toy. I might have found my G-spot with the curved side (still trying to figure this one out,) and I really enjoy the bubble sensation on the other end. If you are trying to figure out what you like, this is a pretty affordable first choice intro into glass toys. It wasn't my first glass toy, but I'm looking into buying some more expensive toys and I want to figure out what I like more accurately before I make these purchases. As for using it, the bubbled end was very easy to thrust, while the curved end required a little more control. Sometimes it slid to be facing a different direction, so there is a little bit of a learning curve with this toy, but I think that goes with all toys. The bumpy section works best with slow thrusts, and the curved end can be used in a rubbing type motion.

So most toys shouldn't be thrown around, and this one shouldn't be either. It won't completely shatter if it lands on a hard surface, but you don't want a broken toy, do you? For storage, I store mine in the red bag it came with, in my bedside drawer. Pretty sure people will know what it is, so I wouldn't leave it out, but it's so small you could possibly hide it under your pillow?

Cleaning is pretty easy; because of the texture, you do have to clean it a little more thoroughly. You can just run some soap and water over it while scrubbing. You could also use a toy cleaning solution or wipes. You can share it if you sanitize it; just put in some 10% bleach solution, throw it in the dishwasher, or boil it. Just be careful because extreme temperature changes could damage it.

Mine came in a red pouch wrapped in plastic with no instructions, but who needs those? I love the pouch, though, it's always nice getting something to store your toy in!
