Review of the Large Dichroic Spiral
I’ve had the Dichroic Spiral, or Dichroic Wrapped G-Spot, for almost two years now, and it was one of the first toys I got at Edenfantasys among other goodies. It’s one of my most cherished toys, and I love it. So it was finally due that I would give it its review. Just to be clear I’m reviewing the 1.5” version, since I have the Cobalt blue version of the smaller one.
As you look at this beautiful glass toy, the first thing that you notice is the rainbow colors that are reflected by the dichroic metal inside the wraps. As they are handmade, this pretty effect changes from one toy from another and makes every one of them unique. This toy can stand upright since the base is completely flat, which will give a nice erotic view if there is a partner driving it. The word Phallix can be read at the bottom when the toy is oriented towards the g-spot.
On the product page, the given 1.5” size for the diameter is measured with the wraps and corresponds also to the size of the head. The size of the shaft alone is 1.25” and the entire toy is 7.5” long (in a direct line). It’s not all that large, but the head might feel like it is, as it’s got no give at all.
This is the largest glass beauty of my collection and I appreciate it for the way that the wraps are low and not particularly pronounced. Yes, the toy is large, but the texture won’t hurt or be too much. If you want more details about borosilicate glass, how to care for it and play with temperature, click here. When washing, make sure to pay extra attention to the two lines running along the head and a small hollow area at the very tip.
When playing with this dildo, the head is sure to hit the g-spot and all the wraps will give it a little poke as well. One of the things I also like is to look at the toy when it’s going in and out, and to let the wraps slide over the clitoris when the head is about to get out. Note that since the Phallix toys are handmade, there will be some variations in the curve of the shaft from a toy to another and how the wraps are placed; they ultimately are very similar, and will be as pleasurable.
This dildo is one of the very rare Phallix toys that DOES come with a well-padded velvet pouch, the 7” Pleasure Pouch, probably because it would not fit in their regular plastic case. If you want more details about that storage bag, the review is also available on the site. I got this toy at this sex toy store I trust, and so should you.

Review of the Fantasy G-Spot 2
I’m not going to hide it, but I really do enjoy glass toys, not just from the pleasure it gives me but I really like their designs – they’re all pretty. Although I could say that there are some toys that have a more artistic touch than others, and one of them is the Fantasy G-Spot 2.
When you look at it, the head looks like a flower from the way that the pink coloring (with 24k gold dust) has been placed all around it. I know I’ve got a lot of things to say about the design, but there are reasons, and it’s not only due to the golden pink details. The Fantasy G-spot 2, made by Xhale Glass, is amazing and when you’ve had the chance to see how clear and pure the shaft is, you’ll understand the level of talent behind this toy. The first picture has been taken without a flash and shows how you will usually see the color with normal lighting. In the second picture, which was taken with a flash, the gold within is particularly enhanced and makes it look more yellow – but it’s still interesting to see.
Another interesting characteristic is that this glass toy can stand upright, which is so cool with glass toys – I really want to have a display case one day with all of them. I’ve said glass before, but it’s more precisely borosilicate glass, and if you want to know more about the material and how to care for it, click here. I know it is trivial, but I like how the base is completely flat, so that when someone can look at the toy when it is inserted, you can see inside the toy. You can’t really see details of the interior anatomy because of the head and the bumps, but it’s still an interesting and erotic view. The base also allows this toy to be anal safe, that is, if you can handle the size of the tip.
Now you must surely wonder how it works, and for starters, I can affirm that the name says it all. The head of this toy is not only large enough (1 ½”) to stay in contact with the g-spot during playtime (as long as it’s in that area), but it has a pronounced angle to guarantee it. As for the nubs, they do add a level of stimulation to the overall experience, but I felt them best when they were at the entrance of the vagina. So with this toy, I used some slight rocking or turning motion to keep the toy in a more shallow position and optimize the g-spot stimulation. Feel free to go deeper, and you’ll be able to enjoy the smoothness of the 1” diameter shaft. So yes, it is a great toy, and I’m really happy to have it in my collection now.
This Fantasy G-Spot 2 also comes wrapped in a well-padded velvet bag (with no other packaging), and you’ll have no reason not to use it for storage. Unless you are really limited in storage space, you will want to protect this precious toy. I got this toy at this sex toy store I trust, and there were other toys available that were similar to this one, like the Two Way Fantasy Deluxe (has a side like the Fantasy G-Spot 2), the Fantasy G-Spot, and the Double Head Fantasy Deluxe.

Review of the SSA Pink Rotator
Ever since I saw a juicer, rotator or spinner toy like the Pink Rotator, I wanted to try one. I had read some reviews, and even if people were not calling it exceptional, the concept was still very interesting and fun. With that in mind, I did not have unrealistic expectations like having a mind- blowing orgasm by rotating this toy. Yet, this toy still managed to give me a good one, but in a different way.
The Pink Rotator, by SSA Glass, is a glass toy meant to be turned inside the body in order to experience a new type of physical sensation. Depending on the direction of rotation, juices may be actually juiced out of the body. When the handle is turned clockwise, the swirls are drilling inside the body, and are moving outward when turned counter-clockwise. It’s the counter-clockwise motion that makes this toy a juicer, because the swirls will move any liquid out of the body. It can also be used in a thrusting motion and the head of the toy will stimulate the g-spot very effectively. If you want to know about caring for a borosilicate glass toy and how to play with temperature with it, click here.
The whole toy is 5 ¾” long. The head of this toy has a diameter of 1 ½”, but it feels quite large since it’s made of glass. There are indented lines around the head, and while I did not feel them, I suspect that it must still add some subtle stimulation within the vagina. The shaft, without the swirls, has a diameter of 1”, and 1 ¼” with them. Considering that this toy does not have a long insertable section, of about 3 ½”, it cannot be inserted too far or hit the cervix in a painful way, and this can be particularly good if a partner is driving the toy. The small handle at the base helps with turning and for holding the toy for thrusting.
The pink swirls are very pale, and at times, it can be hard to see them if the background is not white and, while it is cute, a darker pink would have been nice. The nubs are also pink, but their color is even fainter than that of the swirls. Since the base is flat and that the body of the glass is clear, you can actually see inside the body like an open window. I had to take a picture to get a look, which I will not be sharing obviously, but I’m sure any partner would be fascinated as well. The only visible imperfection noticeable on mine is at the tip of the rounded end, which looks more like a bunch of bubbles got in the glass.
The flat base is very wide, slightly more than 2”, and makes this toy safe for anal play. I can usually handle a silicone toy of that size anally without warming up, but this one was a little too much for me, especially since the difference in diameter between the neck and the head is pronounced; it was actually a little painful removing it. So for the moment, I’m limiting my experience to vaginal play, which was really satisfying. I was able to feel the swirls move inside me, and I could tell in what direction they were going. Even if the goal is to get the juices out, I actually preferred rotating the toy clockwise, since I could better feel the swirls when they would dig into me. There are a few nubs all around the edge of the base to rub against the labia and ideally the clitoris during the rotation. I could feel them, but they did not provide more than collateral stimulation.
I got an amazing orgasm by thrusting this toy to hit my g-spot while fingering myself, and I have the impression that I would only need a little bit more practice to be able to squirt with it. However, I did not get an orgasm by rotating this toy, but I like experiencing new sensations, and was quite happy with this new toy. As such, I would say that the swirling function of this toy is best used for a one-of-a-kind foreplay activity. I recommend this toy to everyone, but particularly for couples. You could even use it after intercourse, but that would be naughty and messy.
The Pink Rotator comes within a cloth pouch, the Toy Pouch, which is also wrapped in plastic. While it is not padded, the two layers of cloth are sufficient for protecting the toy during storage. The toy does not come with any instructions, and the only reading material is the information about the materials of the drawstring bag.
You can also get your own Pink Rotator at this sex toy store I trust.

Material Data Sheet: Borosilicate Glass
Material
Glass toys are made of borosilicate glass, which is also what Pyrex products are made of. This is also why some people and even sex toys companies wrongly call this material Pyrex. Glass can be worked to have an infinite number of shapes, which can produce a variety of pleasurable sensations.
It is a hypoallergenic material that is odorless, phthalates-free and latex-free. This hard and sleek material makes any lubricant last for a long time, whether it is water or silicone-based. Moreover, the non-porous surface is easy to wash and care for, and will never retain any smell or be affected by chemicals.
Temperature Play
Glass conducts heat and cold really well, and is perfect for temperature play. It’s recommended to place the toy in warm or cold water for about 15 minutes. Once you know what you are doing, you can also try making it even colder or warmer, by adding a few ice cubes or a part of boiling water in your bowl of water once the first 15 minutes are over, and wait a few more minutes. This is to prevent extreme temperature changes, which could crack the glass. Even at room temperature, glass already feels slightly cold. As such, you must also take note that even if it feels just cool or warm in your hands, it is going to feel even colder or warmer when it comes in contact with your genitals. It is important not to place your glass toy in the microwave or the freezer.
Cleaning
With normal use and care, glass toys can last a lifetime. They can be washed with antibacterial soap, dish soap, an antibacterial toy cleaner and also toy wipes. Depending on the texture of the glass, there could be grooves that are hard to reach, and you can use a toothbrush in that case. Glass dildos can also be sanitized on the top rack of the dishwasher, with a 10% bleach solution and with isopropyl alcohol. It could also be boiled as long the temperature change is gradual. If you intend to share without sanitizing, you can also slip a condom over it.
Remember to wash your toy before and after each use.
Storage
A padded pouch is recommended for storing any glass toy. However, any cloth pouch can be used for storing a toy where there is no hard surface or for storing toys that are less frequently used. Make sure that you do not store two glass toys in the same pouch because scratches will appear as they enter in contact with each other. Glass toy will not react to any other toys of other material.

Review of the Rose G-Spotter
I received the Rose G-Spotter from this great sex-positive and woman-friendly sex shop, Babeland. I was curious about this toy, since it had an amazing reputation for finding the g-spot and especially making a girl squirt. I had to put it to the test.
The Rose G-Spotter, also known as the Bent Graduate, is manufactured by Don Wands. It is made of borosilicate glass, and if you want to know about this material and temperature play, click here. The Rose G-Spotter has a pretty pink color, almost like the provided picture, and the one in the item’s description at Babeland is pretty accurate.
This glass dildo comes with a nicely padded black drawstring pouch. I’ve had other pouches in the past, but this one is the first that actually has a care tag inside. That’s something that impressed me, and I was glad that I would not have to guess. So, the tag says that it’s 100% polyester, and that it should be hand washed in cold water and hanged to dry. Wash it with dark colors separately and do not bleach.
As I opened the cardboard box in which the Rose G-Spotter was wrapped in bubble plastic, I first thought it was a little small, but I was convinced that this toy was more about design than size. The side with the single ball is 1” in diameter and is set over of a curved shaft of 0.75”. When measured when following the curve, that part is 4” long. The side with the four balls has various sizes. The tip is about the same size as the other one of 1”, while the following three bubbles are roughly 1 ¼”. Together, they have about a length of 3 ½”. Despite the side I was using, I always found a comfortable way to hold the toy be able to thrust and control it easily.
Both sides can be used to find the g-spot, but the technique used is different. The slender curved tip is perfect to pinpoint the g-spot and to focus all sensation in that specific area. I had never been able to pinpoint my g-spot, and I was able to get a better idea of where it is with that G-Spotter. With a bit more practice, I’m sure I could learn to find it with my fingers as well. The curved tip could also be used on a partner’s p-spot as long as you never insert it past the middle of the toy, and that you never let go of the handle, because honestly, this is not meant to be anal safe, since there is no flared base. So be careful if you do play that way.
The other side, which I just called a handle, is the one I prefer, since I’m not particularly good with getting g-spot stimulation with a small tip. For the moment, a large bump pressing against the g-spot during thrusts is what I need to get the most stimulation. And seriously, even if it looks small, the shape of the last bump is particularly effective for sliding and applying some pressure on the g-spot. You can tease yourself with the three first bumps, but the real g-spotter is the fourth one. As for the squirting? It really works. I had been able to do so before, but with this, it was achieved easily within 10 seconds. It’s called the G-Spotter for good reasons.
I recommend the Rose G-Spotter is a perfect toy for women who are curious about discovering their g-spot or want to experiment with the sensations they get with their g-spot. I’ve learned a few more things about the g-spot and my body with this toy, and I was very satisfied. It does stand up to its reputation and earns five stars with me.
