Glass.  Cold, heavy, thick and weighty in my hand.  Solid and stiff, slightly and perfectly curved with a thick, bulbous tip.  Beautiful and functional, a sunset helix winding it’s way inside a smooth textured shaft like old fashioned ribbon candy.

Dildo or art?

If it weren’t for the realistically formed, cock shaped head I would definitely display this proudly as gorgeous glass art.

Then again, if it weren’t for the realistically formed, cock shaped head I would not enjoy fucking this dildo nearly so much.

However you look at the Don Wand Sunshine Helix Real Tip Rocket – art, dildo, both – it’s beyond gorgeous.

At 7.5 inches long this dildo is a bit longer than my hand with a manageable yet filling 1.25 inch diameter that broadens to a delicious 1.5 inch, bulbous tip.

It has a flat, 2 inch base that allows it to stand on it’s own as well as fit into a harness and be safe for anal use – though it’s unyielding firmness means taking extreme care if you’re going to use this in a harness as it’s easy to thrust too roughly and hurt your partner.  Think gentle thrusts and careful aim.

The realistic head on the Sunshine Helix glass dildo provides a wonderful sensation upon penetration, smoothly parting the labia with the ever popular “pop”.  It’s nicely shaped, smooth and rounded with no uncomfortable pointiness.  The slit designed into the faux glans is an amazing detail that feels just slightly ridged when rubbed against the vulva or clitoris but adds no noticeable texture with thrusting along the less sensitive vaginal walls.

The shaft itself is just slightly curved – which allows for amazing g-spot stimulation.  The ribbon design runs from tip to base in shades of orange, red and white inside the clear, smooth glass, providing visual beauty without any ridged, bumped or nobbed texture.

The glass is so smooth, in fact, that I’ve yet to need more than the smallest drop of lube to have it gliding like a dream.

The flat, flared base fits almost perfectly in the hand, making thrusting easy – though it does tend to get slippery and rotate at times, which affects g-spot stimulation as the curve is no longer ideally situated.  It doesn’t affect thrusting that is not aimed at the g-spot nor does it make a difference if you’re going for a full feeling and something to clench around without thrusting.

I enjoyed the absolutely ideal way this dildo hit my g-spot so I simply used a firm grip on the base and managed to keep it from twisting or spinning without an annoying level of effort.

I’m not sure I can properly describe how much I like this dildo or even why.  I normally prefer a bit of texture but found myself enthralled by the cold, smoothness of this one.  I normally prefer a less realistic shape to my toys but found myself fondling the glans like it was a special treat.  The colors are amazing, the girth is perfect, the length ideal.

I made myself squirt – something that rarely, rarely, rarely happens when I masturbate even though it’s almost effortless for Taylor to induce.

On top of all that?  It comes with a plush, purple, padded drawstring storage bag.  Not a flimsy satin one but a thick, cushy, velvety one.

And it’s all of $60.37 at sextoy.com.  That’s a fraction of the price some other glass sextoy companies are charging for plainer, smaller, less interesting toys with a thin, almost useless storage bag.

Of note is the fact that glass can be sterilized by either boiling for a few minutes, washing in a ten percent bleach solution or the top rack of your dishwasher with no soap.  If you’re not going to share, aren’t switching from anal to vaginal use or otherwise don’t see the need to sterilize, soap and water, toy cleaner or a wipe works just fine.

Glass can also be used with any type lube you desire and can be cooled or heated for additional sensation by running under hot or cold water, placing in the refrigerator or freezer or even microwave for a very, very short time.  Use care with temperature play as internal tissues are sometimes less sensitive but easily burned or hurt by extreme cold.
