Rainbow heart - dildo sex toy by SSA Glass - review by Jessica (Buttercup Green)

Warning:Review is very picture heavy. This is done to illustrate and make a point on how extreme the texture really is.

The Rainbow Heart is a glass dildo made to please a vagina or anus that is absolutely in love with intense texture. The straight shaft is not going to rub everyone the right way. If you have a shallow G-spot like me, you might find it insanely easy to tilt up enough to provide the G-spot stimulation that you want and need. Thanks to its' rigid material, it does provide the pressure that some may need to have a G-spot orgasm. This dildo also a heart shaped handle that doubles as a safe base for anal play.


I would like to caution those who want to use this for anal penetration. The texture is extreme, and it is glass. This makes it feel really pronounced. Unless you are really experienced with textured toys and anal, I would not recommend this toy for you.

The same goes for vaginal use. I can only recommend this toy to those who know what they like, dislike, and what they can and cannot handle. If you are a beginner, especially to glass, I definitely do not recommend this toy. If you want to try a glass piece, I suggest a smooth glass toy, such as the Reflections Serenity by Doc Johnson.


I would also like to say a word of caution when thrusting this toy. It does not matter whether you are thrusting this in the vagina or anus. If you thrust at the wrong angle, or you thrust too deep you can cause some bruising and possibly damage some delicate tissues. Thrusting heavily may not even be an option for some due to the texture, and that is perfectly fine. Go at the speed you and/or your partner is comfortable with.

As many know, glass is one of the best materials to play with temperatures, but we will get to this topic later.


This is not just an ordinary glass dildo. This is a piece of art!

This beautiful glass dildo is composed of Pyrex glass. I get a lot of questions from people, including my husband, asking "Why do you love glass toys so much?". My answer is simple. Glass toys provide me with everything I need for internal stimulation. Glass provides the cool sensations I love, the G-spot pressure I need in order to acquire mind blowing orgasms, it will last a lifetime if taken care of properly, and it helps any texture feel much more intense (which everyone knows I love). Glass is smell and taste free, and it is non porous. This is just a fancy way of saying that it can be disinfected by boiling or bleaching. This material will not harbor any bacteria.

Glass is compatible with any and all lubricants. Another awesome thing about glass? A little lube usually goes a long way. I say "usually" because there are some exceptions to this rule. If the glass is being inserted anally, I find I always need more lube versus inserting it vaginally. Another factor in the lube equation? If the glass has any texture, especially texture that goes all over shaft, it will require more lube than smooth glass. This is true for nubbed, spiraled, and everything in between. I find spirals-tight spirals to be specific- to be the worst at soaking up a lot of lube.

I think a sign should come with this toy that says "Intense Texture Ahead!".This is where we will divide the texture haters, the average texture people, and the texture lovers (AKA-texture whores). In my opinion, you have to absolutely love texture in order to use, enjoy, and respect this nubby dildo. I can sit here all day and repeat the words "intense" and "extreme", but I don't think you can truly grasp the meaning of those words until you actually see it. I have spent days trying different angles and cameras to get the best pictures to demonstrate what I am talking about. As you will see, SSA chose to use the nubby texture all along the shaft, but the heart handle is completely smooth.

The design can either bring immense pleasure or immense pain. I suggest running away from this toy if you have a sensitive vagina or anus. Most glass toys are really difficult to hold onto if you have lubed up fingers, but SSA decided to be nice and give the Rainbow Heart a heart shaped handle. The handle is pretty large. I am able to fit 3 fingers into the handle, but I have small hands. Everyone should find it easy to slip at least two fingers into the handle. Even though the shaft is covered in rainbow colored nubs, the heart handle is smooth and a light pink color.
While the colors are bright, the glass does hosts bubbles in almost every nub. There are also some bubbles where the handle meets the shaft. For the price, I am not going to complain. It feels good, and it is just so pretty. I am used to bubbles in my glass toys, so this is not a weird thing for me.
Glass dildos have some of the most discreet designs, and this one is no different. While I would not automatically assume that this was a sex toy, I do not think it would take me very long to figure it out. However, if a child was to find it (we all know how they like to go through our things) I think they would pass it up as just another one of Mom's collectibles, antiques, or knickknacks.
For those of you who need a G-spot curve in order to hit your sweet spots, I would say this one is probably not for you. The Rainbow Heart has a straight shaft. Do I wish there was a curve? Sure, but I am one of those lucky few who can tilt it up in order to get the G-spot stimulation I need.
The product page states that the diameter measures 1 1/8" and the total length is 9 1/4".
After comparing it to my Rainbow Mega Nubby, I knew my dildo had different measurements.
My Rainbow Heart dildo Measurements:
Diameter-1 1/4"
Total Length-9"
Insertable Length-6 1/2" (this matched the product page)

In the end, I have had some pretty intense orgasms. This toy definitely does not hesitate to make me squirt. The texture plus the rigidness rubs my G-spot like a pro.


It was not all fun and games though. I thought I had finally met my match in textured toys whenever I tried this out for the first time. I lubed up and inserted it. Only instead of a moan of ecstasy, I let out a moan of pain. I immediately withdrew the toy from my vagina. I instantly felt a wave of disappointment. I had never had a problem with texture overload before. Why now? Why this toy? I compared it to the Rainbow Mega Nubby from Don Wands. I found a huge difference. The diameter of the Rainbow Heart is bigger than that of the Rainbow Mega Nubby. The product page states that they both have the same diameter, and my eyes did not see a difference (until I put them together). My vagina could instantly tell a difference. Any difference in diameter is a huge deal when it comes to glass toys. This is because the material is so rigid, it tends to feel bigger than it looks. Another difference? The nubbed texture is raised a lot more, and the nubs themselves are not as rounded as the Rainbow Mega Nubby. They almost look and feel pointy.

The second attempt was much better. I warmed myself up with some other glass toys, and once I got to the Rainbow Heart it was smooth sailing. I was lubed up with natural and bottled lube. It took about 5 minutes of slow thrusting and a carefully placed angle before I had a squirting orgasm. I can usually keep going until I am spent, but my vagina was too sensitive (thanks to the texture) for me to continue. The texture became too much after I had cum, so my husband tossed the toy aside and resumed his playtime.


While I managed to make it work for brief vaginal play, I cannot ever see me trying to insert this anally. Even though my vagina loves texture, my bum prefers a smooth ride.
If you want to attempt anal with this toy, be my guest. You are so brave in my eyes. Just be careful when thrusting and use plenty of lubricant.
My husband and I have used this as a massaging tool as well. We roll the shaft up and down each others back. Of course we pair it with a nice massaging oil to take some of the friction away.

In order to keep glass in tip top shape, all you have to do is wash down with warm water and antibacterial soap. You can also use your desired toy cleaner.
Boiling the glass toy for about 3-5 minutes or wiping down with a 10% bleach solution are options if you prefer a deeper clean. Either way, you never have to worry about your glass toy harboring bacteria.
Water, silicone, and oil based lubes can be used with any glass toy.
Before inserting the toy, always be sure to give the toy a look over in order to search for cracks or breaks. If you find one, DO NOT continue to insert this anywhere.
If you or your partner want to experiment with temperatures, glass is a perfect choice to start with. Fill up a bowl with water of the desired temperature. Then place the toy in the bowl for a couple of minutes. I usually let it soak in the water for about 5 minutes.

Typical SSA packaging. It arrives wrapped in bubble wrap, nestled in a thin red velvet pouch. I used to be okay with this simplistic packaging, but I have had too many glass toys from SSA Glass delivered only to be broken. I am kinda fed up with it. So now when I purchase a SSA glass toy, I also purchase a padded pouch. I immediately toss the red pouch away whenever my toy arrives.

Not only is the pouch paper thin, with no padded protection whatsoever, there is no way to close the pouch. There is a drawstring, but it immediately opens back up. Otherwise, the toy will not hesitate to slip out and break your toe or break into pieces.
If you cannot buy a padded pouch right away, I suggest using a hair tie or rubber band to keep the top of the pouch closed.
