This toy is an attractive glass dildo best used for vaginal and anal play. It is rather slender, but features a larger head that can be used for g-spot and p spot stimulation. I however, personally would not recommend it for G-spot stimulation because it is so straight. I was not able to manipulate it to reach any sensitive areas. This most likely varies with different people.

The blue rider is best used by holding the flared end and inserting it into the vagina or anus. It can also be placed flat and carefully slid down onto, but I must repeat this should be done carefully because it is glass and can bruise the cervix if used too forcibly. Also, you will probably need to hold the toy while lowering your body onto it, as the base is a slight bit rounded and rather small.

Even though the base is not the best for standing it up, it does allow the toy to be used anally. If using as an anal toy please note, it is not suitable for a beginner because it has such a large head.

It is easiest and safest to use the dildo with your hands because you have greater control of the toy. I would highly recommend it for solo play because you are able to judge and control what is comfortable. It can be used for couples, but keep in mind that it is a glass toy that requires gentle play. Care must be taken not to thrust it as again, it may bruise the cervix.

Some of its best uses came by way of it being glass. Besides being a well sized dildo, the blue rider is able to heated and cooled, and it is also extremely hard.

To heat the toy, simply place it in hot water for at least 10 minutes. Check the toy on your skin before inserting it to prevent burns. For a cool toy, place it in the refrigerator for at least ten minutes before play.

To take advantage of the material's texture, I used the toy similar to a vaginal exerciser, squeezing on it while I stimulated other parts of my body. The resistance from the toy was highly arousing.

As my first glass dildo I had high expectations. I knew it was glass, but I was still amused about how it would magnify my hand. I was also disappointed by the fingerprints that so easily show up on it. In my first 10 minutes of inspecting it if found myself shining it repeatedly with the included faux suade bag.

After using it the first time I started to focus less on how it looked and more on how it felt. It is extremely hard. The hardness of glass might be intimidating for beginners. It was for me at least. After my first time with the toy I compared it to rubbing my vagina on a window: cold, hard, and see-through.

Similarly, that is exactly the same thought that went through my mind when I put it in my mouth. I felt like I was licking a window. A clean, pretty window.

After using the toy three times, I learned how to use the material to my advantage. The magnifying properties of the glass was the first thing I experimented with. By, placing the head of the toy into the entrance of the vagina, the toy actually magnified (just slightly) it. When playing with a partner, this can really give an erotic show.

The hard as, well, window glass, feel of the dildo also became a treat after I figured out the best way to use it. Although I was unable to find my g-spot with the blue rider, it made an excellent toy for the kegels. The resistance from the toy while climaxing from clitoral stimulation was unlike anything I had happen with any other material.

I also made use of the material's temperature play abilities, non porous easy to clean properties, and smooth head.

Perhaps the most curious thing about the blue rider is the textured design on its shaft. When I opened it I immediately focused on that design and wanted to see what it was. I initially thought it was a salamander, but after receiving mine it looks a little more like a spirit. I would guess there may be some variation between toys.

The raised design is decorative and smooth to the touch. It unfortunately provided me no additional stimulation, except for my eyes.

Thank goodness for the head! Overall, as a dildo, I was not extremely impressed with this toy. It is long enough and I was able to insert it to a reasonable length, but it was too straight to induce pleasure. The head has a 1 1/2 inch diameter that feels good when you first insert it, but that is where it ends. I had to repeatedly rotate the toy around, (slowly because it's glass) to use the head to try and stimulate my vaginal area. I felt like I was using a medicine grinder that if I used well, would reward me with a prize for all my hard work. In the end there was no prize, so I resolved to using other toys, but left the blue rider in for resistance while I orgasm.

The base of the toy was very concerning to me. It was large enough to stand the toy up, but the edges are rounded making it not very stable. It is also quite small to wrap your hands around while you are using the toy. I found myself holding the shaft of the toy rather than the base while playing with it.

What I do like about this toy is how it looks. I chose it because it is pretty. Its not very discrete, because it is shaped like a penis, but other than that there is nothing realistic about it. I wouldn't choose it for travel because I am still a bit paranoid that it may break, even though pyrex is about as strong as it comes. When I pack it, it will get bubble wrapped just like my casserole dish.

What do I love about this toy? It is cold, attractive and hard.

I prefer to have toys that look good when not in use and this one has satisfied that requirement. As a dildo, I wouldn't say it is that great. I am finding that I prefer texture, flexibility, and girth. However, for temperature play, or for something extremely hard for anal or vaginal play the Blue Rider is perfect.

Care for the blue rider is rather easy. You simply wash it with antibacterial soup and warm water or toy cleaner. I prefer to let mine air dry, then I place it in its included storage case. It can also be placed in the dishwasher or sanitized in a bleach solution. It can collect dust while being stored, so it is best to clean it again prior to use.

It is compatible with all lubes.

An added note about the material: Glass is extremely safe because it is non porous, sanitizable and easy to clean. Due to this it should be long lasting and safe for any user. The Blue Rider is made out of Pyrex which helps it retain more heat and resist shattering. There should be little worry about the long term maintenance of this toy, however, if you do notice any cracks or chips it should be thrown away.

The Blue Rider came packaged in a small, discreet box from Eden Fantasy. There was crumbled heavy paper around the toy. The toy itself was inside of a plastic bag. I was surprised that it did not come in an individual box for cushioning but it arrived undamaged.

Inside the plastic bag the toy was inside of a lightly padded faux suede bag. To me, the toy felt heavy. The bag is purple drawstring with large black strings and a hot pink silk like lining. The bag is made out of polyester with light cotton filling. It is appropriate for storing the toy.

There was no documentation with the toy, not that there necessarily needs to be. It's shaped like a penis and it's hard, I know what to do with it. Still, some information about storage and cleaning would be helpful.

This was my first glass toy. I found that the glass material was not my favorite for a dildo because it was so hard, but different people may have different comfort levels. I will continue to purchase glass for other types of toys because of the material safety and its ability to be cooled.

I gave it a 4 out of 5 because I was able to orgasm with this toy, but it was not from solely using it as a dildo. The first two times I used the toy it was not that impressive and I was inclined to give it 3 stars because it was just pretty and not much else. The third time I used it I tried cooling the toy, and combined it with the use of a vibrator for my clit. That experience was extremely pleasurable, but honestly I feel I could have had that experience with any cold glass toy and my vibrator. So I give it a weak 4 stars because it did not wow me, but with help and a little creativity it can get the job done.
