Cobalt bubble plug - butt plug discontinued by Don Wands - review by White Fox

My first glass toy! Since during her last review, Black Fox got her first taste of glass, I decided it was high time to get my own. Lately I've been more interested in trying out new plugs and anal toys so the Cobalt Bubble Plug looked like it would be tons of fun! I decided that this toy needed to be my next review.

I excitedly opened the box on delivery day and pulled out the package for my new glass plug. I was a little disappointed with the packaging. It consisted of a snap together blister pack shaped like a cylinder. The plug and its bag were sitting loose inside of it without any form fitting parts to keep it from bouncing around. No care instructions or information were included but the bag that was included was nicely padded if a little bit short for the toy. The bag itself is made of a nice soft cottony material with plenty of padding inside and if it was about an inch longer it would fit the toy perfectly. I could not, however, get over the pink color they chose! With such a masculine shade of blue the light pink of the bag is very jarring and would have better served the toy had it been blue or black. One thing included that I was very happy to see as well was a small sample pack of Wet silicone lube. I wanted to try the toy with silicone lube, but I didn't want to dig our bottle out of the "toy chest" and trying new types of lube is always fun!

Looking over the toy itself I was very impressed. For such a low price the construction is very nice, the surface is nearly flawless and very even. It was also much larger than I had expected but I didn't really look at the sizing too closely when I ordered it. I must say, this is a rather hefty toy. Heavier than anything else I've had back there except a nice thin steel dildo we bought years ago. Unable to play with it right after getting it out of the box, I set it aside and waited till later in the day.

Finally the time came and I picked up the toy and lube, deciding to have a bit of fun with it while I was in the shower. Might as well give this lube a good test! Getting the toy nice and slick, I placed the tip and inserted it slowly. Whew! This toy is bigger than my usual, so I needed to take it easy. It took me some time because I don't do anal play as much as I'd like so I don't stay as stretchy. With the silicone lube on it, the toy went in nice and smooth. It was definitely the most pleasant penetration I've ever had. The slightly cool glass held its temperature as it distended me. I could barely feel it moving other than the stretching. Once I got it all in I tried to hold it in without help. It's a little bit harder with this toy because of the weight and shape. While the bubble and head are shaped nicely the neck is a little thick and combined with the weight it wants to slowly slip its way out.

I wanted to try a little temperature play as well, so I set the water on cold before I got in and let the toy sit under the water for a minute. I put a few more drops of lube on and then went to reinsert it. Brrrr! What a difference it was, but what a feeling! I can see myself playing with temperature for sure because that was definitely great feeling!

After enjoying the feeling of it in my ass for a little while during my shower I slipped it back out and cleaned it with some gentle soap. The glass cleans off very easily, but if you're handling it in the shower just make sure you have a good grip or else you may drop it and that's never fun! Finishing up my shower, I grabbed the towel and gave the toy a little pat down before setting it aside to dry myself off.

I can see now why everyone raves about glass toys. Regular toys can be fun, steel toys can be amazing, but glass toys seem to give a good combination of the two. You get the temperature retention of steel along with ease of cleaning, but not the overwhelming heaviness of steel. I love a heavy toy but sometimes steel can be too much.

The bag this toy included was a bit short in my case. I don't know if there's variation with manufacturing but if I put it head up, the tip pokes out the top. Head down and the bottom of the base keeps the bag from closing all the way. Like I mentioned earlier, the pink is way too feminine for the deep blue of this toy. I think guys will love the toy for the masculinity of the color and the heaviness and size, but the bag really needs to be a different color.

The included Wet silicone lube was actually quite nice, as well; but, as with all silicone lubes, it's a bit of a pain to clean up. I tend to use those only when I'm in the shower due to their water repellent properties and because being in the shower makes it much easier to clean up.

Still like it? I still LOVE it! The feel of the glass, the weight and the shape still give me a thrill when I pull this wonderful toy out. :)

Still don't like that pink bag, though!
