I really don't know if there is a best way to use this toy. I have only used it vaginally, as I am not that adventurous in my anal sphincter. However, I find that there are several ways to use it in the vagina. I prefer it with the curve up but my girlfriend likes it upside down. Fast or slow, it's great both ways. When quickening the pace, you just have to be careful not to pound the cervix because Lord knows, that hurts worse than Hell itself.

This toy works great with both solo masturbation and with a partner. The curve gives a descent amount of G-spot stimulation. The swirls are not exactly mind blowing, but they do offer some pleasure. I enjoy the slick texture, it doesn't have any rough edges at all. There is one small, sharp end where the blue swirl glass stops on the main glass, but I don't think many women will be able to take it to the bottom. However, in anal, this might pose a threat.

Speaking of anal, this toy would probably do just fine. The larger head might be troublesome for a beginner, but a veteran could handle it with ease. The flared base makes this toy pretty safe, as long as you don't have a cavern, the toy should stay within sight and reach.

This toy is glass. It tastes like whatever you put on it. If you put a flavored lube on it then that's what it will taste like, but without flavoring, it doesn't have a taste and any smell is absent as well. The touch is smooth and bumpy from the swirls. As a lesbian, I don't think I am qualified to judge realistic, but I don't think penises have blue swirls on them either. I think glass is for everyone because it's firm and durable. The texture is smooth and glides well ensuring there is no unwanted friction.

I like the design a lot. I think it has just enough curve to give good stimulation, but it's not uncomfortably curved. The swirls add an element to the toy and saves it from just being a glass rod. The size is pretty average; it's not abnormally large, but it's also not meant for a timid virgin. If your vagina or anus is as tight as I keep mine, then it will take a bit of fingering to size up for the head to go in comfortably. This is a glass toy with blue swirling detail, so no it doesn't exactly look like a penis, though it is phallic in shape. Clearly this is not a paper weight, but it might not be as bluntly obvious to your children (if you have them). It comes with a great little pouch that I keep it in and it doesn't scream dildo from inside there. So if you travel with it, I would keep it in your carry on just because it is glass and be prepared for a snicker from TSA.

The best thing about this toy is the hard texture and the curve. The glass is very pleasurable because you can use it any way you like. In the shower, or in bed, it's great any way you like it. It appears that it would be O-ring compatible, but I have not tried it in a harness.

Because this is glass, you can clean it however you like. A little soap and water does just as well as toy cleaner. You can boil it if you feel so inclined, but I have not felt the need for this. Glass toys can be used with whatever lube you favor. I personally don't use lube with this toy simply because it's not needed with my partner and me. A little spit will do just fine if you ask me. This toy doesn't pick up any lint or hair. The smooth surface stays clean and it is stored in the red velvet pouch it comes in.

I don't really remember what packaging it came in, but it did come shipped in a plain brown box with no indication of being a sex toy. Inside the package, the toy comes with the little velvet bag that you can put your toy in. I use it every time I put it away.

The only drawback with this toy, is if you are too aggressive; the blue spiral can be more of a raking sensation than a pleasurable one.
