This icicle left me in the cold.
My first glass toy and I wasn't sure how I'd feel about it. Aesthetically, it's great. But trying to use it was disappointing. The bullet on it's own is okay, but the glass is too long for me.

Pros
Pretty, 10 settings, light-up bullet (ooh, shiny!), very easy to clean, non-porous, safe material.
Cons
Too long for me, and thinner than I'd like.
This is my first glass toy, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I often see glass and think it looks pretty, but it seems so...stiff and..if it broke! I'm SURE it would take a lot to break, but the idea of that scares me. I got this one as a gift this week, so I had nothing to lose with it.
First off, when I took it out of the packaging, I thought it was very pretty. I admired the swirling pink detail. It looks really nice. I like that the bullet goes through the bottom of it also. I think that is interesting. The remote is simple. The bullet plugs into the remote, and can be used alone or put through the base of the glass piece. Both the bullet and remote have a cute, shiny pink finish.
The remote is small, and fits in my hand well, so that is a plus. The cord that runs from the bullet to the remote is maybe about 2 feet long. It takes 3 AAA batteries, and it has one button: one side of the button is On/Off, and the other is to utilize the vibration settings. First, you hit the on button, then you can hit the top half of the button to change up the vibrations. When you turn it on, the bullet lights up, which I did not know till I turned it on! That was a cute surprise, and I have a feeling my partner would probably really like that. The appeal of shiny, light up things AND the lights flash to the beat of the vibrations!
There ten vibration settings -
1. A steady, decent vibration level
2. A heavier, steady vibration
3. An even harder, steady vibration
4. Pulsating
5. A different pulse- (dun-dun-dun-dun-dun, dun-dun-dun-dun-dun...)
6. Escalating
7. (dun-dun-dun, dun-dun-dun...)
8. long pulsing
9. harder pulsing
10. Fast, high pulse.
Personally. I did not enjoy the glass toy. The bullet on it's own is fine, but the glass was thinner than what I'm used to. Which, I could deal with. I think it might be too hard for me, as well. The part that I really didn't enjoy is the length of it. It is about an inch or so too long for me too comfortably feel the bullet against myself, which kind of took away from it completely for me. That's not a problem I've ever had with a toy, so that sort of surprised me. I wouldn't say this toy is terribly long though, it measures 7", which is sort of average for an insertable toy. I have heard that this toy works well for anal, but I wouldn't be interested in using it for that. One really good thing about glass though is that it's so easy to clean! Since this is made of Pyrex, I can just wash it off with soap and water, or spray it down with some toy cleaner.
I would recommend this toy for someone who enjoys glass toys, or someone who enjoys glass AND rabbits since this sort of meets both of those. If you are new to glass, maybe start out with something else. The fact that the bullet can be put through it to feel vibrations through the glass, is a good quality though. I don't see many other glass toys with that advantage. If you like lights and flashy things, you'll find this to be charming.

Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
I haven't sent it back, though I was told via the forum that I could. I really don't like this toy, it has me set against glass toys. The paint has only flaked off more...ick. I don't like it. I am glad it was given to me as a gift and that I didn't pay for it, if I had I would be very upset. Overall, this is a big disappointment. The bullet isn't even something I really ever use either, I have better bullets that were really cheap but work amazingly.
