As with other glass dildos, the wand can be warmed or cooled for a variety of sensations. I never liked the 'dead' cold feeling of the silicone dildos, which is one of the reasons I like this dildo so much - I prefer warming it to body temperature.

I like to start with the more pointy, slimmer tip because it is easier to insert, and then once I'm ready, I'll flip to the more rounded, fuller tip. It is easy to hold, even after you've flipped sides!

I would be careful with the direction and power of the thrusts, since glass is harder than the real thing - if your partner is using it on you, then have them go gently. Better yet, use it yourself and let them concentrate on other parts of your body.

The glass is very smooth, no rough spots at all, and it's odorless. As with any glass dildo, it's very firm. I have fortunately not dropped it so I can't report how sturdy it is, but it certainly doesn't seem flimsy.

This has to be the most beautiful design I've ever seen, with gorgeous colors and patterns. I actually wish I could display it on a shelf, it's that pretty! I feel like I'm being ravished by a work of art. The double sides also make it a very versatile toy - one side is more tapered and the other more rounded to give you a variety of sensations depending on what mood you're in. I tend to like slimmer sized dildos and this worked fine for me.

You could take it when you travel, but you'd need a more robust storage option than the soft pouch that comes with it.

It's easy to handle and maneuver, even when the opposite side has been lubed. It's very easy to flip ends when you want a little variety during your session. I found the pointy end sometimes is a tad too pointy feeling, but that may be just because I have mild fibromyalgia. I still liked to use that end, but I just don't thrust as deeply/strongly.

To be honest, I really didn't need to thrust very deeply on either side to get a pleasant feeling, due to the design. Sometimes I just like to use it to rub on my clit from the outside, because the hard, warm glass feels so nice.

It couldn't be easier to take care of this dildo - just wash in warm sudsy water, rinse, and air dry. It looks so shiny and beautiful after washing that you'll be tempted to use it again immediately!

Glass just seems cleaner in general than other materials I've used in the past, and is compatible with any kind of lubricant.

I store mine in the velvet pouch it came with, but you might wish to get a hard container to protect it in case it is dropped accidentally.

The dildo comes with an attractive, soft, velvet pouch for storage.

This was my first experience with glass, and I'm a convert now! I'm so happy that I chose this dildo, because it truly is one of the most beautiful I've seen in any catalog, and it really works well.
