Crystal lover dildo - dildo sex toy by Glassvibrations - review by Vanessa Jade

The Crystal Lover dildo is fantastic for use solo, with a partner, or in any way you can imagine. The bulbous end makes it suitable for (careful) anal play, and both ends can be used vaginally for different, stimulating experiences. Be quite careful when thrusting, as glass is very hard and can cause bruising if you aren't careful.

You can have temperature-based fun with a toy like this by stashing it in the fridge or taking it for a dip in some warm water before playtime, too! The glass holds temperature rather well and a cold or warm sensation makes it almost a different toy. Please be careful, though; do not heat this up too much. Glass can get EXTREMELY hot and you WILL burn yourself if you aren't careful.

This toy is made out of heavy, smooth glass and as such has no taste or smell. It has a lovely weight which adds a lot of the experience. Thrusting is almost effortless with something such as this, which makes it a lot of fun and a completely different sensation from more realistic-textured toys.

Since it is glass, it is extremely rigid. While it's suitable for any level of expertise, please take it slow at first so you do not accidentally bruise yourself—it's quite hard! This is more of a wand-toy, so it is not harness compatible—though if you want to use it with a partner, just put it in his or her hand and you're ready to go!

Glass is a nonporous, nonreactive material, so it is safe with any type of lube you may want to use, will not harbor bacteria and does not retain smells.

The design of this toy is nothing short of gorgeous. It has sexy curves that are reminiscent of ancient "goddess" depictions, or of a woman with an "hourglass" figure. One end is a long, teardrop-shaped bulge that comes to a gentle rounded point; the other has two "bloops" that are great for anal or G-spot stimulation.

Either end may be used as a handle; switch them up and it's almost like having two toys.

Overall this wand is about eight inches long, and at its widest, about 1.5" in diameter. At any given time it's feasible to have up to six inches inserted when used vaginally. When using this for anal play, I recommend ONLY using the "bloop" end and never inserting it farther than the second "bloop."

The artistic design of the Crystal Lover dildo makes it a bit more discreet than most, but let's be honest—if people see this they are likely to think "sex toy." It's sexy without being raunchy, though, so I wouldn't be afraid to show it off.

The smooth, silky glass sliding effortlessly for thrusting is one of the wonderful sensations that you can get only from a glass toy. I love that you can use both ends of this toy for different sensations. Add some lube (You don't need much!) for a mindblowing experience.

Unlike many wands and dildos, this one works very well for partner play. You can't use it in a harness but it's just as easy to use on someone else as it is to use it on yourself—and a partner can get angles that you just can't get on your own!

For fans of rigid or heavy toys, this is a great dildo. It gives a nice full sensation without making you feel uncomfortable, and the smoothness of the glass makes it quite comfy for longer sessions as well.

Glass toys can be boiled, washed in soap and water, put in the dishwasher, or sterilized with alcohol or 10% bleach solution as they are nonporous and nonreactive. This makes cleanup and care a breeze. Store your Glass Lover dildo in a nice soft cloth (a sock works really well, to be honest) or the black fabric bag it comes with. Handle with care, obviously, because it is glass and can break.

Safety tip: ALWAYS check glass toys for chips or cracks before use. Nobody wants to discover they accidentally chipped their dildo while it's in use. Ouch!
