This is One Swirly I'll Take Anytime
This is an amazingly textured glass toy. The swirls are the perfect size to add an excellent amount of texture without being too intense. The cobalt blue color is very pretty to look at too. Glass is sure to last some time unless you're exceptionally careless with it and is easy to maintain.Published: November 5, 2010
Pros:
Wonderfully textured ridges, Glass is awesome, Temperature play, Pretty color
Cons:
Cleaning the wonderfully textured ridges
I've come to adore the cold (or warm!), hard feel of glass. Feeling the heavy weight sitting in my hands sends delicious shivers down my spine. But recently I realized something, my small glass collection was lacking any sort of toys specializing in the g-spot. None of mine had that wonderful curve that promised to send me to the stars or, at the very least, the moon. If you've read any of my prior reviews I make it pretty well-known that I love texture, so the Swirled Blue Dildo seemed like a perfect match. Naturally, I was right. The ridged shaft is moderately intense so if you aren't a fan of a lot of texture or you're curious but have no idea if you like texture or not then a different, smoother toy might be a better choice.
The curve of harder materials is absolutely wonderful. It provides a bit more pressure when pressed against your body and different sensations than the squishier counterparts that offer some give. The bulbous head (I really like saying that.) is absolutely wonderful once it finds your g-spot. One of the things to keep in mind though is that the 1 1/2" diameter can feel larger with harder materials like glass.
I will neither advocate nor oppose using this anally. Glass and lube tends to make a slippery combination and the base of this, although flared, is not very large. If you choose to use this anally be very careful and make sure to maintain a good grip on the base to spare yourself any embarrassing ER trips.
Glass is a great choice as far as safety concerns go. It cleans easily and you can sterilize it in a multitude of ways, ranging from the dishwasher, boiling, and a 10% bleach solution. Therefore, with proper sterilization, you can pass it along for a partner to try out or you can switch entrances. If you don't take these measures but still want to share or use anally then a condom is the only way to play safely. Glass also gets Eden's highest safety rating since it is not porous so nothing can lurk inside of your toy. However, due to the intense texture nasty things can lurk in the ridges. A bit of extra care needs to be taken so that they are properly cleaned. A Q-Tip works nicely for this purpose.
Glass is also compatible with any type of lubricant. In fact, as an added bonus it comes with a free sample of Wet Platinum lube to get you started. When storing glass toys be sure to store them in something so that they do not break. This dildo comes with a VERY well-padded light blue pouch so unless you're doing something really strange with it you should be able to easily keep your new toy out of harm's way. Pyrex glass is the stuff that a lot of kitchen items are made out of, the glass measuring cups are typically made out of it. It's difficult to break. However, should you decided to throw it out your third story window and onto the concrete below, it will break in large pieces rather than shatter.
The other super-benefit of glass is its ability to be used for temperature play. You can heat it or cool it to mix things up a bit. Putting it in the microwave is not recommended, but a dish of hot water will work great. Just test it before insertion. You can also pop in in the fridge or put it in a dish of icy water for a bit.

Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
This is still a wonderful toy for when I feel like playing with glass. It's tough a tough competition for my favorite glass toy between this and one other but this might just win some days.
As expected, it has held up well. It would take some effort or a serious fall to hard ground to break this toy.

which one is better for anal?
-
For a beginner the Spiraled G. Texture can easily become "too much" when used anally, especially when you don't have a lot of experience, and the Spiraled G has a more sedate texture. The curve is good for prostate stimulation if you have one.

Best without the hefty price tag.

No one likes to spend to much money on something you can get else where for cheaper.
So what im wondering is what is the best glass dildo for the buck? -

So yes. -
The swirled glass dildo was the first glass toy I bought, and my introduction to anal toys as well.
This has become one of my favourite toys in my Toy Trunk, because it is just perfect. From the fat head to the base and everywhere in between.
If you are looking for your first glass toy... this is the one I would strongly recommend!!!

Not Getting the Extended Review Template
-
I recently purchased this and I was starting my review just now and it won't let me use the extended review template. Looking at the other reviews I see I am not the only person who this happened to, well more than likely since I'm not seeing the extended template used. Does anyone know why? It isn't a huge deal, I'm just curious.

It isn't a huge deal, I'm just curious.It is not available for everything. Just make your own and include the usual design/material/ performance/care-packa ging stuff. You'll do fine :)

^ What LaUr3n said. I've been checking out some glass dildos recently, so I'll definitely be looking forward to reading your review!

Glass toy pricing

What do you think the deal is with the WIDE pricing for glass toys?
They are all the same material obviously and some are fancier than others but sometimes two can look exactly the same and be a difference of $200.
I recently bought TWO glass toys for a total of $20 and that included shipping. -
It's mostly a question of process (how decorated is the toy, how complex is it to make the decoration, is it handmade, where is it made), but at the extreme low end there is a bit of material difference - tempered soda/lime glass vs. borosilicate glass.

I'd wanted a glass toy for a long time and didn't want to shell out the big bucks for it. I spent about $28 dollars for a similar toy to the one you linked. It's fabulous.

Hi Lauren,
Please don't post duplicate threads on the forums.
The deal with it is that they are made by different manufacturers, and the cost varies widely. Some are hand blown, others are not. Some even contain gold dust. If you look at the Properties tab, you will find that not all glass is alike or equal. That would be like saying every metal dildo or toy is the same - it's just not that simple. -
Also, as some sex toy reviewers are unfortunately finding out, some toys are actually not 100% glass. Some companies fill their toys with water so that they remain "glassy" looking, but don't require as much material.
