You've got to be kidding me....

So I have spent the past few days sorting through various glass manufacturer's FAQ pages in an effort to bring everyone one concise page of glass information. Look what I just stumbled upon...yes this company is for real, referring to a glass "finger sleeve" that they sell. Perfect example of what not to reference for accurate information on glass...Has anyone heard of this company/reseller and does this statement strike anyone as a bit odd or frightening?

"The Tickler (RG38) is one size fits most, if piece gets stuck on finger use Windex to try to losen the piece, if not sucessful seek medical attention immediately. This glass piece is recomended for external use only, if used internally do not insert more than 2 inches, if piece gets stuck internally seek medical attention immediately to have removed. RubyGlass21 and our affiliates are not held responsible or liable in any manner if piece gets stuck internally or on finger."


WOW!

Saraid, I believe Rubyglass21 is just a retail website selling others' products. However I could be mistaken...companies pop up (and disappear) every year! I have never heard of them in our 7 years of business... I did notice many pieces that are being offered are actually products coming from overseas manufacturers (every couple of months we receive catalogues and solicitations from Chinese companies trying to sell us their wares. Very recognizable pieces... and they are available for purchase on this website. A lot of the Chinese glass is quite good actually...but yes this statement is very strange. If something is that dangerous to use...why offer it for sale??

The "about us" page on their site got me interested. Call me biased, but there's something about shoddy copywriting that really, really turns me off. I poked around a little bit further and got even more frustrated. They claim to manufacture everything themselves. So compare this link to this link. Does anyone else fail to see a difference?

Sheesh.

That's why I tell everyone the 3 year rule on glass toy manufacturers. For whatever reason, glass toy companies come and go faster than one can blink. Most glass makers come from the "counterculture" business and well, let's just say aren't in the biz for right reasons. The idea of attending AVN tradeshows sometimes is very appealing and distracting for many. A business plan just isn't in many glassblower's vernacular. Sad, but true. Oh well, glad your experiences have been positive.

Wow. RubyGlass21 is not a retail website. They are a small glass company based in Oregon. I have received several of their items, and they are of impeccable quality. In fact, they are working on a custom piece for me right now. A little Googling will show you that they have also sponsored several contests and given toys to review to reviewers. I have heard nothing bad about this company, and have had no bad experience with them.

But mostly I'm agitated with your original post. It's a glass finger sleeve. There are precautions. It COULD get caught on one's finger, or it could end up in one's vagina. Seems to me that RubyGlass21 is just trying to cover their asses, which is something one another company I can think of (that you seem to support) did not do when it came to something that could be a hazard. I think it's pretty ridiculous and low of you to start this thread, to be honest. It reminds me of grade school and picking on the little guy just to make yourself look better.

I was simply reminding that the "actual size" can be useful in comparing products. The photos don't always show every angle of every toy.

I've personally never heard anything bad about RubyGlass21, in fact, I've heard a lot of praise and good things about they're products. And they're almost always willing to contribute, in terms of contests and such.

I have heard about the finger sleeves before (and I think there was another post about them awhile back) and I'd be more concerned about someone trying to use them anally, and the reprocussions of that, than it getting "stuck on a finger." But Windex? I can think of a lot of things that could work better, and I hope that advice is given with the reminder to then wash the windex off, completely.

But Adriana, I do agree with you, it's not like they're here to throw in their side of things.

Gotta agree with E here. Every glass company out there has a hearts dildo besides Phallix link And as far as copying overall goes it happens all over the board..
Even with companies that dont exclusively do glass.
don wands toy link
doc johnson toy link
Well unfortunately.. this is seeming a bit like some cheapshots to me? The finger sleeves have been around for a while, and not exclusively from RubyGlass.
So as per your conduct regarding new companies yeah... you've got to be kidding me.

My exact point Darling Dove, and my apologies if this post has been misinterpreted or taken out of context. The focus here was on a product being sold on a particular retail website, not the company who has produced it. You have stated.. "the finger sleeves have been around for a while". My exact point here, as this is not an attack per se on one company but rather a well warranted criticism of a product that should NOT be on the market due to its inherent risks. And please keep in mind...I started the post because I found this information on a retail website. This is not a witch hunt on a company.

You make frequent references to 'the company' and asking about references for them and also casting suspicion EX; "Perfect example of why glass needs to separated by manufacturer...Not all glass is alike, nor are the people running the companies" "I did notice many pieces that are being offered are actually products coming from overseas manufacturers (every couple of months we receive catalogues and solicitations from Chinese companies trying to sell us their wares. Very recognizable pieces... and they are available for purchase on this website."
As well as feeling the need to point out that they 'copied'.
Sorry but, if you were not meaning to witch hunt, then please think more carefully about your wording next time?

"rather a well warranted criticism of a product that should NOT be on the market due to its inherent risks"

Then this means that most all products such as cock rings, jelly products, certain lubricants, vibrators, etc should be off the market as well? Every product has some inherent risk. At least the 'retail company' made it know that there is a risk and a possible remedy. Even if it wasn't the BEST remedy. That's more than some companies do.
