I really enjoy the Avalon for solo play. The bumps on one end are subtle but enjoyable stimulation while the other end has a more filling sensation. The girth overall is pretty slim and perfect for beginners. This dildo is very easy to clean and is perfect for vaginal or anal play (though give it a thorough washing if you'd like to do both!). The borosilicate glass holds warm and cool temperature very well.

The texture is smooth (besides the intentional bumps), unscented, and without taste. For me the smooth texture was a bonus at first but eventually became dull and left me wanting more. However it does pair well with stimulation lubes because of the smooth texture.

The Avalon is very enjoyable to look at and is actually transparent. The shape hits all the right spots for me, both vaginally and anally. I found the toy harder to grip when covered in lube but that didn't significantly impact me. When I first got my Avalon I ordered a second and was surprised that the shapes were somewhat different; I realized later it's because the Avalon is handmade so every one is unique.

The best thing about this toy is the ability to use it anally or vaginally, in the tub or in the bedroom, on my own or with a partner. It's got endless uses. Some, like temperature play, I didn't even explore. The biggest downfall for this toy is probably how rigid it is. It can get shallow scratches very easily and (though it's very unlikely) I'm wary of accidentally shattering it.

The Avalon can be used with any lubes and with any toy cleaner. I store my toy in the felt bag that it came in. The Avalon is prone to scratching so I store my glass toys separately.

The Avalon came in a red drawstring bag, wrapped in a thick layer of bubble wrap for discreet and safe shipping. I wouldn't use the bag as gift wrap but it is very good for storage.

I like this toy. I think it has a lot of uses and it's given me a lot of orgasms and enjoyable experiences. If I could change anything, I wouldn't buy a second one. I don't need it, and I never use them both at the same time.

One when using the Avalon with a partner he was thrusting very hard and very quickly and it really really hurt. That situation was resolved VERY QUICKLY, and it isn't the toys fault, but it's something to keep in mind. This isn't the toy for super fast or aggressive masturbation session.
