Ocean bliss - dildo by SSA Glass - review by VieuxCarre

The ocean bliss is a beautifully crafted piece that is perfect for glass toy enthusiasts. This dildo is rather firm and not for the beginner due to the texture as well. If you have experienced glass toys before, this is definitely one you should invest in. The ocean bliss is perfect for both anal and vaginal insertion, as the base is wider than the shaft to prevent it from traveling too far. Take caution, though, when using this toy and thrusting because the head of the dildo is bulbous and pointed which could cause pain to the cervix if not used carefully. If you are searching for a toy you can play a bit harder with sexually, I recommend using something that has more give, as this one will not curve or bend to contour to you or your partner's body.

Glass is always firm and never has a smell, which makes it aesthetically pleasing to the senses. There is no taste to this toy either, though I recommend against placing it in your mouth to lubricate it as saliva does not last very long and also because glass is hard and there is the possibility of chipping a tooth or two if you aren't careful and get a bit carried away.

This dildo, while beautiful, is not realistic in the sense of being modeled after a real penis. The shape of the dildo, however, is that of a real penis, with the shaft and the bulbous head. The shaft is smooth and straight with a few bumps along the way to the head. The bumps along the shaft and around the base of the shaft and head add a bit of stimulation to the vagina or anus as it is traveling inside.

As I said before, this dildo is firm and cannot bend no matter how hard you try. If you are not used to glass toys, firmness, hard texture, or bulbous heads, I would not recommend this toy to you. Again, this is more for advanced users, especially those who have experience with glass toys.

Imagine you are a mermaid and swimming around in the sea. You know, the portion that BP has not managed to ruin. As you swim along, you come across a particular red headed mermaid that you've seen from the movies. She takes you to her cave of treasures and shows you a beautiful piece of glass that has been crafted to look like the ocean does to her, sunlight shining down on it to make it glitter beneath the surface. It's nothing like you've ever seen before and she tells you to take it to show the world and enjoy.

If you remember the original case of the Little Mermaid when it came out on VHS with the penis castle, you'll understand why I referenced her. Well, that and the fact that she lives under the sea since she's half fish. The ocean bliss is designed to appear oceanesque. The head of the dildo is a deep blue with clear rings separating the color from the base of the head to the tip. This gives the effect of the calm waves of the sea just resting and waiting to be churned by a coming storm.

The shaft of the dildo has raised bumps along it, though they do not cover the entire shaft. Around the shaft, near the base of the head, rests a ring of beautiful light green bumps that wrap around to form a circle. There is one straight line leading down from this ring of raised, deep blue bumps that end at the base of the shaft. Next to the end of the line of blue bumps, on both sides, are three vertical green bumps. Alongside the two vertical lines of green bumps, on both sides, are two deep blue bumps and between those lies one single blue bump. The rest of the shaft is completely smooth. The base of the dildo is flared out to prevent the toy from traveling too far into the body, so it is safe for anal and vaginal use.

While the shaft is rather slender, the head is bulbous and can cause discomfort if you have not played with toys in a while or been sexually active. This toy is definitely suitable for travel, as it comes with a pouch for storage, though be careful to place this dildo between layers of clothing since it can break while in transit if too much pressure is applied to it.

The bulbous head of the ocean bliss can be a bit painful at first if you have not been sexually active, as I have, but I found that using lubricant made it easier to slide in and use. I also found that while I used it with my NuvaRing it was a bit painful. I removed my ring during the duration of my solo play, which my ring can be safely kept out of my body for three hours, and found that it was much more comfortable to use and less painful.

The ridges definitely add pleasure and stimulation while in use and add to the toy greatly. They, honestly, are the best part because they work as gentle stimulators. They are not too large and there are only a few of them which can make the experience more enjoyable all around.

After you have used the ocean bliss, make sure to clean it with warm water and soap and place in the storage pouch that is provided. Since this toy is made from glass, it is able to be sterilized and used among others. If you intend to use it with others in one session and not clean it before inserting it into another person, please take care to use a condom. Also, do not remove this from the anus and place it directly into the vagina as that can cause problems as well. Glass is also compatible with any lubricant, so it is safe to use water based and silicone with this toy.
