The Deep Water G by SSA Glass is a sleek and sexy double ended glass dildo with a g-spotting curve and a gorgeous deep blue color. The blunt end excels at hitting the g-spot, while the bulbous end provides a satisfying fullness. Texture along the top of the toy delivers additional stimulation.

Practice caution when using a hard material like glass, lest an overenthusiastic thrust bruise the cervix; this is especially important to remember during partner play. Since it lacks a flared base, the Deep Water G is not recommended for anal play.

Odorless, non-porous, phthalates free, and easy to sterilize, glass shines as an exceptionally safe material choice for sex toys. Should tragedy strike, Pyrex glass like that of the Deep Water G will break into chunks, rather than dangerous shards. It's important to inspect glass toys for chips or cracks before use, but it'll take more force than your body is capable of exerting to fracture this glass.

As an inflexible and solid material, glass should be handled with care during thrusting in order to avoid bruising the cervix, and partner use should be limited, at least until both partners are familiar with the toy in question, and the receiver's preferences.

Glass holds temperature well, which means you can let it take a swim in a glass of ice water for a few minutes before play to experience a thrilling chill, or warm it up to body temperature before use.

The Deep Water G is smooth and sleek, with the exception of the raised bumps on the top of the toy. This limits the texture to the area where it's most appreciated. Texture on glass is always quite easy to feel, but in this case it's less overwhelming than some.

The Deep Water G is one of those toys that should please beginners and experienced users alike. The modest size makes it non-intimidating -- it's less than an inch and a half in diameter at any point -- while the lovely curve does its job so expertly that any user should be impressed. The angle it provides is ideal for effortless thrusting with plenty of attention focused on the g-spot, while the alternate end is large enough to provide a filling sensation, should the mood strike.

As for discretion, the Deep Water G does look like a dildo, so only the most naive of snoops will be fooled by a cover story about darning socks, but at least it's a classy looking dildo, and one that's small enough to hide fairly easily.

This one wouldn't be my first choice for travel, but if you must, pack it as you would to ship it -- surrounded by soft materials, inside of a firm shell, or carry it in a case specifically designed for protecting toys. And unless you're thoroughly prepared to look a TSA official in the eye and calmly state that it's a dildo, you should probably avoid packing it in your carry on luggage.

The Deep Water G performed admirably in several consecutive test dives, with excellent results. Whether one's g-spot favors solid pressure or a firm massage, this toy delivers. Between the sleekness of the glass and the perfect shape, thrusting is effortless and right on target. The bulbous end serves as a very comfortable handle, while also offering a satisfying full feeling when put into direct use.

By altering the angle of penetration, it's easy to find the ideal type of stimulation for one's particular tastes or mood. Inserting the bulbous end and working the kegels is fun too, especially in the company of a favored clit vibe.

Cleanup is a snap. Wash the Deep Water G in hot water, using a mild soap or toy cleaner. Since dropping it in the sink has the potential to end in tragedy, I use a washcloth to pad my bathroom sink before washing my glass toys. You can also boil glass, or clean it with a 10% bleach solution, for sterilization. It's also dishwasher safe -- top rack, and without dish soap. While the Pyrex glass can stand up to dish detergent, I'd advise against trusting the comfort of your nether regions to the rinsing abilities of the average dishwasher.

Glass toys work beautifully with any lubricant, and rarely need much of it.

It's easy to stow away the Deep Water G, thanks to the included velvet pouch. Store it where it won't bang into other hard toys, or have anything heavy land on it. Depending on your storage situation, you might want to consider purchasing a padded bag, or wrapping it in a towel.

My Deep Water G arrived wrapped in a thin layer of bubble wrap and tucked into a red velvet pouch. The first two SSA Glass toys I received arrived free of any packing material, inside a purple faux-suede bag with a satin lining. The original option gave the toys more padding, but it came at the expense of taking up more room than strictly necessary in my toybox, so I'm somewhat divided on my opinion of the change. It probably depends upon the storage situation for the buyer.

The pouch, despite not providing padding, is very attractive. The other thing I like about the new bags is that it's easier to tell the individual glass toys apart without opening the bags, since the shape and texture can be felt through the thinner material.

The first thing that attracted me to the Deep Water G was the color, so I was delighted when it met my expectations in that regard, and then absolutely thrilled to discover its exceptional performance. This has quickly become a favorite, and it's a toy I am thrilled to recommend to others.
