The stretching sensations were sharp and vivid as the small glass bulb penetrated my ass. I had never felt anything so poignant in my limited anal experience. I took a deep breath as I kept pushing slowly. I focused on relaxing my reception of the tiny toy, and felt my body accept it. The Swirled Spot Plug slipped fully into my ass, instantly absorbing my body heat.

The Swirled Spot Plug was deceivingly small, fitting comfortably cradled in my hand. It was so much thinner and shorter than the last rubber plug I had finally worked my way up to. I mistakenly thought this could be a step backward in my anal acclimation. Not so; glass is an entirely different animal.

I admittedly have a fixation with glass vaginal toys. My sweet, smooth glass dildos seduced me with their texture, temperature variation, and sensations, yet the introduction of glass into my ass somehow caught me off guard.

The unyielding nature of the glass stretched me more intensely than I had expected. It did not respond to the tightness of my body; it held its shape regardless, stretching me to my amateur edge. It made itself so clearly known against any twitch or clench of my muscles.

The glass allowed me to use any lube I wanted; silicone, water based, anything. It lubed up effortlessly and cleaned just as easily. But most importantly, I could freeze it. I placed the plug in a plastic bag (I could not resolve myself to putting something that had been in my ass unpackaged beside what I would later eat, even after rigorous cleaning.) and let its temperature drop [Editor's note: we recommend cooling glass and metal toys by placing them in ice water, rather than freezing them]. There truly is nothing quite like having an icicle in your ass.

I had not expected a glass plug to stay in as I moved and walked. I assumed the slick texture with slippery lube would cause it to just slip out. However, the Swirled Spot Plug clung to my body and did not slip at all; it even took a little extra exertion to pull it from my body. The clear glass also allowed my partner to peer in and see how the plug was stretching me.

I imagine that my body’s response to the Swirled Spot Plug is largely influenced by my level of anal experience. I am only now returning to and enjoying anal play in preparation for anal sex, so I am a severe amateur. Someone with a more adjusted asshole may not experience the intense stretching I felt in response to glass.
