Allegro - glass dildo discontinued by Orion - review by LeeKR

Okay, let me start this off by saying that I adore the fact that this is glass and is therefore very easy to maintain. There's also no need to worry about funny smells or sticky material or funky tastes, which is all fantastic. It also looks very appealing. Nice curves, good color.

The texture? Well, let me just say that those ridges are extraordinarily prominent. Usually that's the sort of thing that would really get me going as I am a totally sensory person. I love all things bumpy or ridged or veined or whatever. However, those ridges coupled with the fact that I am incredibly sensitive (almost painfully so a lot of the time) and the fact that this toy has a pretty good heft to it is not such a good mix. The ridges, at least to me, don't feel like they are rounded very well. I don't know if this will make any sense, but here's what I'm talking about. I'm holding the toy now and as I'm holding it I'm running my thumb nail down the length of it and my nail is catching on the ridges. It seems to me that were the ridges rounded enough my thumb nail would just slide over them not jolt with every bump or ridge.

What this means for me is that, while going in, it feels great but coming out it catches on the extremely sensitive flesh just around the vaginal opening. It's not something that any amount of lube seems to fix. The only way I've found that I can use this toy comfortably is to put a condom on it to lessen the intensity of the texture a little and even then it's still almost to much for me.

I recognize that this is all subjective. Not everyone is formed the same way or experiences sensation to the same degree. My girlfriend loves the thing. And it's fantastic for playing with texture and (because it's glass) temperature as well.

My suggestion to anyone reading this would be to think very carefully about purchasing this toy if you're really sensitive because it is very intense. In my book that actually makes it a good toy, we just aren't suited well for each other.

The one really good experience I've had with this toy was purely clitoral. I can't use it as an insert-able, but the ridges felt great when rubbed over my clit.

For me, this toy took a little time to grow on me. I still cannot use it for penetration but have found that i love it more and more as texture against my clit, with or without my girlfriend.

If texture is your thing this is the toy for you.
