This toy has many many good points and very few drawbacks. I would recommend this as a first time toy for beginners to the glass world, and as a first toy in general. It is worth the $$$ and was a useful addition to my toy box.
The best way to use this toy is with water based lube and slow calculated movements. It is glass. It has NO give. It is a wonderful, beautiful toy that must be treated carefully. My husband and I have a rule that he is not allowed to manipulate it, in case he gets too excited and uses it too forcefully. On the other hand it is still great for thrusting, if one is careful.
This toy is long, for reference I included a picture of it next to a one dollar bill, and next to a similar toy favorite of mine, the Metallic Massager (in purple).
You can hurt yourself with this toy, but it is so comfortable. It is my first glass toy and I'm so happy with it. One of the best things about this toy is that it holds a temperature. At room temperature it is pleasantly cool and the result is some nice sensations. My husband has chilled it in the fridge for me before and that was a very wonderful and unique experience. We have not tried warming it yet, as I'm more partial to cold sensations, but it is on our list. To do so, you would simply allow it to sit in very warm (or hot) water. I have also taken this little beauty to a bath with me and it was incredible.
This toy can be used anally because of the flared base but I wouldn't recommend it because it is so ungiving and long, but to each their own. If you want to try it is is relatively safe if you follow precautions and use lots of lube. And relax, you don't want to get too tense.
Glass. Awe-Mazing. This toy is hard (of course, it's glass!) but it is a perfect beginner toy for first time glass users like me. The toy appears to be criss-crossed in design, check out this picture:
But this picture can be misleading, it is not actually criss-crossed shaped. It is spirals, and it adds to the sensations in a very sensual and subtle way. It can even create a kind of juicing affect if turned correctly. It has no odor, no taste, is not porous, is rigid and very smooth with no seams.
This glass is very well made and good quality. It had to be poured slowly to be so perfect with almost no air bubbles at all. There were only two place smaller than pinheads with tiny air bubbles. The stripes were made afterwards and melted onto the toy. It was perfectly and carefully crafted, and definitely worth the $$$. Even though my toy was part of a promotion and was free, I will gladly pay the amount for more toys similar to this one in other designs.
I loved the spiral design as it added a lot to the sensations I received from the toy. The shaft, spirals included, was no larger or smaller than the average man, but the head (being inflexible) seemed larger than normal, and bulbous to the point of distraction at times. It would take more lube than usual to insert the head, and it would be distractingly uncomfortable to remove completely. It wasn't necessary a bad thing, but it got in the way of some of the stimulating potential the toy had.
This toy may not look realistic, but it is proportioned well and is beautiful to look at. It is suitable for travel because it fits nicely in a back pocket of a suitcase or pocketbook and is discreet. It is perfect for beginners who want a step up and a first glass toy.
Okay the best thing about this toy is that it retains temperature and is absolutely beautiful while adding to the sensations. On the downside it is rigid and not flexible at all, being glass, and so can be uncomfortable at times by not giving when you want it too. The flared base gives the toy options (vaginal, anal, harness maybe) while doubling as a way to stand the toy up for a beautiful shelf display. However the large head makes fast thrusting difficult.
This toy is great for me as a starter toy, but because I can't go fast and hard with it it will never get me all the way to the O. I have to switch it out for a vibrator for the last couple minutes and for me that is the biggest drawback to an otherwise perfect toy. Maybe if it was used in combination with a clit exciting vibrator it could "do it" for me, but it will never be enough all by itself.
Care is easy-peasy. You can boil it or wipe it or spray it with toy cleaner. I prefer to wash mine with soap and warm water. That is my go to care for all my toys and it works wonderfully. I have "bath time" for my dirty toys after every session and it is quick and easy to move from room to room without drawing attention from people we are sharing the house with.
Storage is equally simple, I place the toy in the velvet bag that it came in and place it in the toy box alongside every other toy we own.
The toy came in a simple velvet bag inside bubble wrap. It came in perfect condition, unjostled and undamaged. There were no instructions, and none necessary. This would not be be best packaging for a gift to a friend, but it was discreetly tucked into a cardboard box from a discreet sounding business name. Very well done, Eden, as usual.
My husband loves to watch me masturbate and the glass toy gives him a unique view most other toys cannot give. Consider that when thinking about a glass toy, its the little things that are really nice sometimes.
The temperature play really makes this toy stand out in our box. When my husband tells me to close my eyes and spread my legs I never know what I'm going to get. It could be a vibrator, but it could be a deliciously cold Bliss. Again, AWE-SOME.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it7 months after original review
This is my husbands favorite in the toy box. He loves especially to blindfold me and then press the cold glass against my body. My face is apparently priceless. I love this toy too, it is by far my favorite dildo in my collection and I still recommend it to anyone wanting to try glass.
