I’m a big fan of the beautiful Simply Blown glass toys, they’re luxurious and gorgeous. So I was thrilled to be able to review this beautiful Simply Blown Shudder Dildo for Trystology. The Shudder glass dildo is made of a thick weighty glass that features a rippled body, and a slightly flared base. This toy comes in three sizes, Small-Large, and I got the medium size. It’s about 5 inches in length, with a diameter of 1.5 inches around. This toy is gorgeous. It’s stunning. It’s truly a fabulous glass toy. I love the shape and the color. Each piece is hand blown and the way the color blends through the inner part of the body is unique for each dildo. The tip of the toy is slightly tapered in the center, with a rounded head, and undulating ripples that move all the way down the toy, adding texture and stimulation during use. The base is slightly flared with a flat bottom. The outer edge of the entire toy shows mostly clear glass, with a lovely ribbon of green colored glass that spills throughout the inner core. this dildo is completely solid, no cheap feeling glass or hollow insides. This is a true luxury glass toy, you can feel it and see it. It’s the kind of quality I’ve come to see and expect from Simply Blown. The packaging features a slide out box, where the glass toy is pillowed in a plush foam material that holds the dildo securely in place, so it doesn’t move or shake around in the package. The outer box is gray and features the Simply Blown logo, along with a clear plastic window that lets the pretty glass toy show through. On the side of the box there is a small ribbon finger hole, where you can grab the ribbon and pull it out to reveal the toy. The ripples on the body of the shaft make for a lot of added texture and sensation when moving the toy in and out of your body, and you can feel it even more intensely when first inserting the toy, and then removing it. This toy can be used with any type of silicone you’d like, including silicone or oil. I used this toy with both a silicone lube, and also a water-based lubricant. Each worked wonderfully, and the feel of the lube against the smooth glass created great feelings when i inserted the dildo. Since this toy is glass, it can be boiled to be sanitized, and it’s also dishwasher safe. Alternatively you can wash it with anti-bacterial soap and water or a toy cleanser. Glass also holds temperature nicely, so placing the dildo in a fridge or warm bowl or water, will cool the glass down or warm it up. Glass warms to body temperature very nicely, so once inserted, it warms to the vagina fabulously. You can also use this toy anally with care, since it has a slightly flared base. The ripples on the toy will indeed make you shudder with pleasure, hence the name. The stimulation is great for those who enjoy textured toys, but way be too much for those who find textured toys to be a bit much. The ripples body catches wonderfully when used anally, as the ass squeezes around each and every ripple. I highly recommend using a condom over the toy is you use it anally, for easy clean up, or if you plan on sharing the toy with a partner. Glass is non-porous, so it’s a very hygienic and body-safe material. As with all glass toys, keep this one stored nicely, and don’t let it fall against the hard floor or ceramic tile. It’s also best not to let it bump up against other glass toys, as it could chip or crack a glass toy. Be sure to check your dildo from top to bottom to check for any flaws or cracks before use. I love the beautiful dildo and the weighty feel of the glass. Absolutely nothing about this toy feels cheap or flimsy, the glass feels sturdy and quality and I feel confident when using it. This toy is also fun to suck on because of the fun ripples, just be sure not to scrap your teeth against the glass. I adore this dildo! The color is bright and pretty, and the toy creates beautiful friction when i use it vaginally or anally. I would highly recommend this toy to anyone who loves glass toys, or who is looking to try their very first glass dildo.
