I was actually rather excited to get this toy in the mail. Fist of all, it comes in a cute, very feminine box with satiny lining and a bow. Once the box is open, there lies the Hera. The curves are soft, like yours, but when you pick it up, it is very heavy. I suppose it was heavier than I expected. This dildo is not large, veiny, or floppy; it's elegant. In fact, it's about as elegant as a dildo can be. I joked with my guy that it could probably pass as a piece of art on a mantle. All of my other toys have been made of a silicone or rubbery substance and the difference in feeling is huge, both in hand and when playing.

Hera has two ends, the longer of which the reviews say has about six inches of insertable length. This toy might serve as an excellent introductory toy for anal play, as the smaller end can also be used. The smaller end is about the same size as a thumb, which I know is pretty subjective, but you get the idea.

The contours are very smooth, and I found that the durable Hera could be heated or cooled for a little extra something if you want to shake things up. Usually, lubrication is not an issue for me (sorry for the over share), but I found that with the glass, it definitely helps and ensures a smooth ride. For some reason, I need a least a little bit of lube when playing with this toy; I'm not sure if I can blame it on the material as it sure doesn't have to do with how it feels.

Also, one last thing is that Hera is dishwasher safe, bleach safe, you can take it in the bathtub, pool, hot tub...really anywhere. Mine has rolled off the bed a few times onto the hardwood floor and hasn't splintered or chipped.
