Amethyst - sex toy by SSA Glass - review by In Between Soliloquies

Oh my! This is going to be a new favorite. First off, I love that this dildo came with a thick, padded storage pouch. The pouch also has a drawstring that works well, which is perfect for protecting this wondrous wand.

Next, on to the design. It's a smooth, sturdy piece, which is great for those who need lots of firm pressure. I was concerned that the curved end would be too pointy, but it was blunt enough not to cause any discomfort. It's made of glass, which is wonderful for several reasons. First, it's extremely hygienic. This makes it safer to share or reuse toys, and eliminates the concern over chemically treated materials. Second, it's very easy to clean; a little mild soap or toy sterilizer and some careful drying and voila! Ready to be tucked away in the padded velvet bag. Third, it can be used with water- or silicone-based lubricants.

This dildo is fantastic because the curved end is perfect for g-spot stimulation, and the textured end is great for ...well, everything else! Additionally, the textured end is good for getting a better grip when lube makes things extra slippery. The ridges are smooth, and the toy itself is aesthetically appealing. It's great for couples, and fantastic for solo use when you want to get the angle just right.

We have used it for anal play as well, with great results. This should be done with extreme care, since there is no base. As an anal toy, it's strong and not too big (great for beginners) and the textured end is especially stimulating. Remember to clean the toy between vaginal and anal uses to avoid cross-contamination.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this toy. The curve is gentle and the differently-shaped ends make it very versatile. It was affordable and useful.
