Taffy tickler - glass dildo discontinued by Topco Sales - review by Beck

The Taffy Tickler has to be the most interesting toy I have ever used. The design of the toy having silicone taffy nubs of texture inside the bulbs makes this toy extremely unique. The pleasure that it brings is much different from all the other toys I have used. The Taffy Tickler should only be used vaginally since there is not a base or a bulb that has a difference large enough to be safe. If you do chose to use this anally you should keep a good grip onto it, since it can get sucked inside anally.

To manipulate this toy, either solo or with a partner, you can rock it, thrust it, pop it in and out, twist it, and so on. When you are thrusting you will want to be careful, since hard thrusting with a hard material can bruise the cervix. Glass can be used for temperature play, but the best way to do so is to put the toy into cold or warm water. You can add ice, but microwaving, boiling, or freezing are not recommended for temperature play, since you could harm yourself in the process.

I would not recommend this toy to someone who is a beginner or someone who knows they don't like texture. This texture is intense.

The taffy tickler is made with the combination of CyberGlass and Silicone. The dildo is made of the glass and the taffy ticklers are silicone, which both materials have a level 10 safety rating, however that does not change the fact that where the taffy meets the glass there are grooves and hard to reach places. These places can be an area for bacteria to grow, but glass and silicone can both be boiled, so you should regularly do that to this toy. There is a slight smell to the silicone, which is like plastic, but the glass is odorless. There is no taste to the product what so ever. The glass is firm and cool to the touch, but the silicone is squishy and feels like gum. Both materials are phthalates free, latex free, and non porous.

The texture of the glass is bulb, but in the ripples is the silicone taffy, which is nubs of texture. This texture takes getting use to, a lot of lube, and patience. It is really unique in feeling. If you are having a dry day, you should apply a decent amount of lube and I mean decent. If you are dry in anyway this is going to feel uncomfortable and pokey. However even with the right amount of lube some will continue to have this feeling. Once I got use to the feeling of the taffy part it was great. The nubs sort of scratched repeatedly at my G-Spot which sounds unpleasant, but it was not.

Upon arrival I thought that the taffy tickler looked tiny and I thought to myself this is never going to work for me. I was wrong! The length is 7.5" long, but only insertable just over 6". There are two relevant circumferences/diameter which are around the glass and around the silicone. Around the glass is 3" in circumference (just shy of 1" diameter) and around the silicone is 3.5" in circumference (1 1/8" diameter), but inside these feel the same around, since the silicone has some give to it.

The design is a clear glass dildo with four ripple and two rounded ends, but inside the ripples are the taffy ticklers. These ticklers are three rows of spiked dots that are silicone. The taffy is dark blue and light blue every other ripple.

This is not at all realistic looking, but definitely whimsical, however not discreet. I would not recommend this to someone just starting with glass, since the texture can be too intense for an advanced user. The toy can be suitable for traveling, but you will need to store it properly since it is glass.

I am pleased with the performance of this toy. Like I said before, this is one of those toys you must get used to before knowing if you enjoy it. I think they could have went lighter on the taffy ticklers that way it could be more beginner friendly, but they are heavy on the texture and really intense. They literally feel like you have inserted a round hairbrush. They poke and scratch inside the vagina, but if you are well lubricated and not extremely sensitive to texture it might just be pleasant.

This toy is not harness compatible or suction cup compatible. It is waterproof and works well in water.

I would say this toy is high maintenance, since you should boil after every use of this toy. (I do it after every other use, but you might want to every use.) The grooves could harbor bacteria that could cause infections, but the material can be sterilized by boiling for 3-5 minutes. (Be careful not to burn yourself in the process.) If you just want to quick wash this toy then wiping down with wipes, washing with soap and water, or toy cleaner will work just as well, but note that things could still be in the grooves.

I am currently storing this in a package in my dresser, but I recommend getting a toy pouch for storage.

Glass is compatible with all lubes, but silicone can not be used with silicone based lubes, so you will want to only use water based lubes with this toy. I personally have been using Wet light.

This comes in your basic clam shell packaging with a small cut out with a sample of the taffy. There is a girl in a bikini on the front and back, plus you can see the dildo and there is a picture of it on the front, it is by no means discreet and should be wrapped for gifting. It works fine for temporary storage. The only useful information on it is telling you that the taffy is silicone.

My first experience with the taffy tickler left me slightly confused. I could not tell if I actually liked the toy or not. It was uncomfortable, since the scratching feeling on my G-Spot was not comfortable. I remember telling stainedclear, that it was the weirdest toy ever. I couldn't tell you if I like the toy or not after using it. The second time was more pleasing to me and so on. I have used this toy a handful of times and still really can't tell you if I actually like it, however I am leaning more towards yes. The feeling can be very pleasing, but sometimes it is overwhelming and painful.

I am giving this toy 3 stars, since this is one item that is just really hard to figure out. I do not think that it will be pleasing to most, but some might find it very pleasing. It is really unique though.
