GLASS CONVERT
This toy was totally worth it for me, in becoming a glass convert, because it's pretty, I enjoyed the rigidity, temperature play and the ability to clean it very easily. I also loved how I could use any lube I wanted with this. I will definitely check out more of what Don Wands has to offer!Published: December 9, 2010
Pros:
Pretty, nubbed, easy-to-clean
Cons:
No handle, very slippery when wet.
Ok, so, The Rainbow Mega Nubby... How I love you!!! You make play time so much fun!
In the past, I've been wary of glass toys because they are rigid and this girlie likes some flexibility/softness to her toys. I like the feel of a realistic dildo, and my ability to but this one is just so pretty. I mean, look at it! It's clear glass, with rainbow nubs!! *fangirl crush* Ok, so I may have gone a bit overboard with the fangirling. Don't judge me.
What I loved most about this toy is that it's nubbed. Each colored spot, or button, if you will, is a nub. This texture gave me the feeling that way more was going on than I originally thought.
I need to tell you, I find that I am drawn to aesthetics, and this toy was very pleasing to my eye--it's a 7 1/4" rigid glass dildo with rainbow-colored nubs, and reminds me of a roll of candy buttons.
Glass toys can also be used for temperature play. As in, you can warm it up or cool/ice it down. I played with this gem with both hot and cold, and I have to say, the cold was my favorite. The shock of the iciness made me really enjoy my play time much more since it was a shock to my system. A pleasurable shock. I enjoyed the coldness against my labia, my clit (not too much--it *is* very sensitive), and inside my vagina. Whoa, definitely inside my vagina. That was, well, intense, *understatement*.
I did manage to get a squirt off, but it was a bit difficult because this is a glass toy, and so is rigid, straight, without angle and is very slippery when wet. But I was determined to see if I could use it for g-spot stimulation. I did--alas, only twice. I found it to be extremely slippery when I used a silicone-based lubricant, which is my preferred lube when playing with my toys. However, it did get slippery regardless of the lube used, since it is glass.
However, I didn't truly have a problem with this toy in the shower, and so was able to hold on to the shaft to keep inserting at the angle, strength, depth and rate of thrust I wanted--I didn't use lube in the shower.
This rainbow wand is also waterproof, so you can use it in the shower. Yep, like I did. Cuz shower time must always be special and decadent. And sinful. Like chocolate.
Cons: It doesn't have a handle, or an angle, so while playing with the toy, it becomes very slippery when wet.

Experience
I was out with someone recently, and whilst talking about sex toys, specifically glass, she mentioned that one of her friends used her glass toys as garlic crushers, since they can be used as such. Plus, most glass toys don't look like dildos. So I used the mega nubby as a garlic crusher--bad idea--the nubs made it difficult and my eyes may have bled from the gas released by the garlic.
Follow-up commentary
4 months after original review
I still like this toy--it's fun to use and provides the texture I like. I pull it out when I don't feel the need for vibrations, just good old-fashioned thrusting.

Do the nubs make it more pleasurable?
-
They seem like they would hurt, especially on such an unforgiving material.

For questions like these, read the reviews. See what people who have actually used the product have to say. That'll answer your question.

Glass Dildos

Can someone give me advice on which glass dildos work the best?
-
Quote: Can someone give me advice on which glass dildos work the best?I think it depends on your preferences. Do you like slim, or thick? Texture, or smooth? If you like texture, which kinds do you like?
-
Glass dildos are great! They all get really slick with lube, can be warmed (or cooled) in water, and are totally easy to clean. Texture wise there are all sorts of options, like the nubby you pointed out, or ridged, or smooth varieties. What works best depends probably more on your personal preferences than any one design factor.
I would say that if you like softer and more bendable materials generally you may find glass to be somewhat of a letdown, but if you like firm pressure glass is definitely where it's at.
We have a couple of glass toys (a plug and a few dildos) and really like all of them, not too mention they tend to be a little more fun to look at. Personally we like a mix of glass and silicone toys, because they each have things they are better at, but if you are curious about trying a glass toy out for the first time, definitely go for it. You will probably like it.

Painful
-
Do glass toys "hurt" or feel too hard as opposed to rubber/jelly toys? I really like this and want to order one!
-
I haven't tried that specific glass toy, but I have tried glass toys with "nubs" on them. Honestly, they didn't hurt me in the least -- but, the jelly ones do. I don't understand it.
I LOVE glass though. -
Maybe if you move around and find it's too big, but in themselves, they wouldn't generally hurt (in my exp) :)

Glass Toys

So I don't know much on the topic, but putting anything made of glass inside my body sounds a little scary. Do glass toys ever break?
-
Not usually, most glass toys are made of a solid piece of Borosilicate glass like pyrex. They shouldn't break unless you drop them and even then they may not break the first time they fall.
You should check them for chips before using them, just in case. -
Glass is one of the safest materials you can get, next to stainless steel and silicone. You can boil it and even throw some into the dishwasher! They'll break if you drop them real hard or throw them (especially the cheaper ones), or if you put it in the oven and then in a bowl of cold water, but not inside you!

Thank you for viewing Rainbow mega nubby – glass dildo review page!



I had wondered if glass would be difficult to hold onto when lubed up, but I thought the nubs on this one might make that easier. Guess not.
Oh, and I'm into aesthetic toys too.
This one is definitely pretty and worth giving some more consideration. Thanks for the review!
