I think there are several things that people need to know about this toy, in which I will explain below.

1. This toy is pretty hard to clean. I read somewhere that a girl uses an old toothbrush to clean her toys, and I thought that was incredibly silly until I got the Violet Wonder. You literally need a toothbrush for this toy because the spaces between each of the bulbs are extremely hard to reach with a sponge or a cloth. If you don't do so, you'll end up with build-up which is not healthy.

2. The glass of the Violet Wonder scratches very easily. So when you do buy a toothbrush, get one that is soft or medium bristled. Also, take care that you store it in something very soft. I don't see a huge need to have a padded bag, so the pouch that comes with the toy should be good enough. It's funny though, because even with the pouch I find tiny scratches all over my Violet Wonder.

3. The small end should be used with care. It's nice for anal penetration, or shallow vaginal play. One should take care not to thrust too hard, because you may bruise the cervix depending on it's position. I, myself, bruised my cervix on accident thinking that the toy was too short to reach it. Boy, was I wrong! It left me in quite a lot of pain for about three days. Now I am much more careful.

As far as how this toy feels...wonderful. As long as you use it correctly, that is. The bulbed end is truly my favorite for vaginal stimulation, and I had my first inner-vaginal orgasm with this toy. Something about the three bulbs just feels like nothing else. It's my ultimate travel companion now!

The smaller end is best, for me, used anally. This is something you want to do with a partner, due to the odd shape of the toy. However, you can do it alone if you are in the right position. You really can't go in "too deep", because the bulbs will stop you. So I think that this glass toy is completely safe.

I find the issue with cleaning to be a bit annoying. I've gotten "used to it". It still bothers me when I've just had an explosive and amazing orgasm, and I just want to go to bed. Unfortunately I can't just go to bed, because I have to get up and scrub the daylights out of this toy. It's a much better daytime toy and not a nighttime toy for that reason.

Overall, my experience with this toy has been moderately good. On a scale of 1-5, I would give it a 4. Only because the cleaning can be such a hassle. Otherwise, it's totally safe and feels amazing. It's made of glass, so it has one of the highest safety ratings around. It is an easy material to keep clean, as long as you take care of this with a toothbrush or some sort of soft scrubber. I did drop this several times, as I'm a clumsy person. It hasn't broken yet. On the flip side, it didn't help with the scratching factor that was already present before the falls.

I do want to mention that this feels great if you lube it up and run it up and down the side of your clitoris. I had just tried it, because I read on some website that a woman enjoyed doing this. I've now fallen in love with the act! So this toy is also great for clitoral stimulation!

I still love this beautiful glass dildo! The Violet Wonder is gorgeous, feels amazing no matter how you use it, and comes in so handy!
