The Bubble Thriller glass dildo is a perfect for both vaginal and anal use. Its gradually-increasing bubble texture adds nice sensations, without the dildo being too girthy. When inserted anally, it puts nice pressure on your sensitive areas, and each bulge feels oh-so-good when it's pulled out slowly as you climax (this toy doesn't have a specific flared base for anal use, but the ball on the large end is quite a bit larger than the one next to it. Use your best judgment when deciding if it's safe for your anal use). This would be a great dildo for someone who isn't sure if they will like texture or not. The balls that provide the texture are as smooth as silk, since they're glass, and they increase gradually so the texture isn't too extreme. You should always be careful when using glass toys on yourself or on others, because they can cause pain or bruising if they are thrusted or handled roughly.

A nice thing about a glass toy is that you can heat it up with warm water, or cool it down with cold water, and experience a whole different sensation when using the toy afterward. Temperature play is extra fun if your partner heats or cools the toy, and uses it on you in different areas while you are blindfolded.

Bubble Thriller is made of tempered glass, which is a very body-safe material, given a 10 out of 10 safety rating in Eden's Materials Guide. It is treated so that it is resistant to shattering and changing temperatures. You need not be worried that this type of glass will shatter during intimate use. It can break when mistreated, such as if it is dropped on a tile floor, but in most situations it is reliably durable.

Glass has no odor, and won't absorb any. It has a smooth surface and becomes very slippery when used with lube, which can make it difficult to hold onto.

The Bubble Thriller is made up of seven balls, attached together to make a rod. It's about 6 1/4" long, and the diameter ranges from a little over 1 1/2" on the largest ball, to a little under 1" on the smallest one. It has a slight curve to it, barely noticeable and not even felt when in use. Because the size starts out small and increases to large, this toy is suitable for anyone, beginner to experienced, vaginally. When used anally, it probably isn't the very first toy you should ever use, because of the texture that is created by the increasingly large balls, but it wouldn't take much to work up to this dildo. Some people are happy with this type of texture, and others are annoyed by it or find it uncomfortable, and there is no way of knowing until you try it. It is very important to have good communication if someone else is using a glass toy on you, because it can hurt you if used over-zealously, which can easily happen in a sexual situation.


This glass toy is a dark cobalt blue color, and it looks almost black unless it's held up to light. I would like it if it were more obviously blue, but it's a pretty toy, and the shape is interesting.

I love texture, and I really like this toy. Those bulges rub me in such a great way as the dildo is pulled in and out of me. When used for anal insertion, I love to feel them pull out at just the point when I'm starting to have an orgasm. It makes it feel so much stronger. I think that careful anal use is the best way to use this toy. It's the perfect size for that, as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately, it doesn't do anything for my G-spot, and vaginal use isn't my favorite with the Bubble Thriller, but I do like the way my husband teases me with it. It's especially nice when it's hot or cold. It holds heat quite well, but for extended play you will want to have the hot or cold bowl of liquid beside the bed or wherever you're playing.

Glass is very easy to take care of. You can sterilize it by putting it through a hot dishwasher cycle or by boiling it. If sterilization isn't necessary, you can spray it with spray toy cleaner, use a wipe, or wash it in the sink with soap and water. To store it, make sure it's cushioned and protected from other glass toys so it doesn't get broken or chipped, but that's all you have to worry about as far as storage goes.

You can use any type of lubrication with this toy. Keep in mind that since the surface is so smooth, and it has no drag, lube travels along it very easily and your handhold can become slick and impossible. You won't need to use much lube to have a very slippery toy. I have solved this problem in the past, when using a glass dildo on someone else, by using a small washcloth or similar piece of cloth to wrap the handle end in so I have something to hold onto.

The dildo comes in a nice Don Wands gray box, with a cellophane window cut out that shows the toy from behind it. It's not discreet, but it's tasteful. From the outside of the box, it shows exactly what the toy looks like, but I think that's good. You can always wrap it if you're giving it as a gift. You could also save the box to use it to store the toy in. It might not last forever but it seems pretty durable.
