A Swirly To Love.

The Amazing Swirls dildo by SSA Glass, offers a beautiful dildo meant for vaginal insertion and stimulation of the vaginal wall with it's beautifully crafted swirl design, from which it gets its name. This toy can be manipulated in a solo session, as a couple or with group play, and is meant for thrusting. Whether you're twisting, screwing, dipping or diving, this toy will come in handy for teasing or a full on session. Remember to play it safe, as this toy is still made of glass and is completely rigid. You mustn't thrust too vigorously or harshly, as this toy has the potential to bruise the cervix, or other sensitive areas if overexerted force is applied.

This dildo is meant for vaginal use only. As it does not have a flared base, it has the potential to become 'lost' if used anally. It's recommended that you not take a chance with glass, as it becomes slippery when lubed up or wet, and you could actually lose grip of this toy enough to have an accident, and no one wants that embarrassing trip to the ER. Since this toy doesn't have any mechanical parts, it is not limited to the bedroom, so let your imagination run rampant with the places you can take this toy. Just remember that since this is glass, you don't want to drop it.

I'd consider this toy travel friendly. It comes with a pouch and can conveniently fit in a purse or luggage. Just remember not to let it bump against other items, as it could scratch or chip the toy. This toy can also be used for temperature play, which I will further detail later in my review.

The Amazing Swirls by SSA Glass is made from 100% borosilicate glass. This glass is also known as Pyrex glass to some, and is non-porous, latex and phthalate free, hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and completely body safe. It is not realistic, but phallic in shape, and is beautifully designed. Since it is made of glass, there are no odd or toxic smells emanating from it, and there is no taste to the material at all. This is great for those of you with sensitivities to either.

This toy has a raised swirled texture as the name implies. It's a beautiful rainbow swirl which is raised enough to be felt when thrusting, but not too extreme that it would hurt. It does not feel realistic, nor was it designed to feel that way. The swirls add to the stimulation of the vaginal wall, and makes this toy worthwhile in its design. The swirls are subtle, but can be felt whether thrusting slowly, or vigorously in motion.

Since this toy is made of glass, it is rigid, and has no give whatsoever. This could be a plus for some, others it could pose a problem. This toy could work for beginners who are looking to try glass for the first time, or who are looking to try a textured glass for the first time. I will get more into the problem of the rigidity of the toy in the design section.

Since this toy is made from glass, it can be used for temperature play. Cool it down in an ice bath, or heat it up in a warm bath for added stimulation. Always check to make sure the temperature isn't too hot or cold as you can bring harm to yourself if this happens. Check with the back of your hand to see if the toy is the right amount of hot or cold for you. Never freeze, boil, or put this toy in the microwave or oven to heat, as this will cause serious injury, resulting in an ER visit.

The design of this toy is a straight double ended dildo, in which both ends can be used for insertion. One end, is of a teardrop shape and the other end is rounded like the rest of the shaft. Either end can be used for insertion, as the stimulation is provided from the rainbow swirls along the shaft. The colors that make up the textured swirls on this toy are red, yellow and blue, and are absolutely beautiful in the light. This toy is a great fit for the average user, and is not too small or not too big to pose a problem for anyone wanting to try this toy, as it is beginner-advanced friendly.

The sizes are as follows:

Length: 8-1/4"
Insertable length: 6-1/2"
Circumference: 4-1/4"
Diameter: 1-3/8"

This toy does not have a realistic look, but it can be identified for what it is if left out on the coffee table. If you wish to travel with this toy, it comes with a drawstring pouch, but remember to pack it safely so that it doesn't become damaged in transit. This toy is designed perfectly for how it is supposed to feel, and works perfectly to help you reach your goal, if a climax is that goal.

As a straight dildo, users may have trouble finding their g-spot with this toy, but it isn't impossible. When angled at just the right way, you can maneuver this toy to find your g-spot and swirl you into ecstasy. The design of the Amazing Swirls by SSA Glass is plain, but the added texture of swirls and the beauty of the glass makes this a great toy to add to your collection. Users who love a lot of texture may not find this toy to be enough, so just be sure to research before buying. Speaking of the texture, it can be felt wonderfully, whether you're slow paced or rocking hard against its movements, but subtle enough to make a beginner feel comfortable, so keep that in mind if you're planning on purchasing this toy.

There is no base, but users could use the teardrop end as a handle if they wanted to try this toy anally. Just remember to keep a firm grip, and do not lubricate it too much as you can lose this toy inside of you, and it is not intended for such play. Glass needs little lubrication as it is, and glides fairly easily on the skin. Since there is no base, this toy is not intended for harness play either. There is also no suction cup for those wanting a hands free ride.

Glass is one of the easiest materials to care for. All you have to do to keep this toy clean is rinse it with warm soapy water, use a toy cleaner, wipe it down with a 10% bleach, 90% water solution to sterilize, boil it, or simply put it in the top rack of your dishwasher. Remember to be careful, and not to let it slip from your hands when cleaning as it does have the potential to crack if dropped. If putting it through the dishwasher or boiling it, remember to retrieve it with caution, as it will be hot to the touch, so let it cool down before storing it back in its pouch. You can simply allow this toy to air dry as well, but remember to return it to the pouch and the bubble wrap if you've kept it.

Don't allow glass to cling together, as this could scratch the surface or cause other damage and render the toy unusable. As long as they're in their pouch, this should be fine, but don't allow the toys to exert too much force on each other, as this could also damage them. Always remember to inspect your glass toy before using it. If you find any scratches or damages to the surface, discard them immediately, as you could cut or harm yourself if used in such a way. Glass is very low maintenance and should last a lifetime if cared for properly.

All lubricants are compatible with glass. If you choose to use this toy with another, remember to make sure that any other toys you are using are also compatible with the lubricant you choose. Overall this is an easily maintained and easily stored toy, so have fun.

Packaging for the Amazing Swirls by SSA Glass is minimal. The toy comes wrapped in bubble wrap inside of a thin, red velveteen pouch with no padding whatsoever. If you would like your toy a little more secure, I suggest buying or making a pouch, or some other form of protection to keep it safe, as this does nothing but to keep it from getting scratched up, which is a plus. As far as instructions go, there were none sent with the toy, as SSA Glass keeps everything to a minimum. Cleaning and caring for glass doesn't really need instructions but it would be nice to have a little more care taken by a company that makes such beautiful glass creations.

As far as gifting goes, you could use the package it came in as a stocking stuffer, but as far as gifting it on a birthday or other occasion, I recommend getting a gift bag or some other form of wrapping for this toy. A gift box may even be a better idea, as this is a fragile piece. As far as discreetness, the pouch is, as it covers the toy completely.
