Simply Blown Shiver

Glass toys are some of the most beautiful toys out there.  They really are pieces of art.  They can come in so many shapes and sizes, colors and textures, and intended uses.  I’ve been drooling over the art for my vag on Simply Blown‘s site for a long time (apparently drooling is what I do when it comes to glass toys, as I had the same reaction to the Candy Colored Dildo).  And for Christmas, my wonderful friend K bought me an emerald green Shiver!

It was a complete surprise of the best kind.  I mean, I knew she got me something but I had no idea what it was.  And then the delivery man handed me two boxes instead of the one I was expecting…and I saw the return address and forgot all about my other box.  I couldn’t wait to get the box open and see what was inside and when I did, I was very happy!  The Shiver comes in a nice gray box that is padded on the inside and has a clear plastic viewing window.

The Shiver comes in three different sizes: small, medium, and large and five different colors (emerald, topaz, ruby, amethyst, and aqua).  Below are the measurements for the different sizes:

Small = 5 inches long x 1.25 inches in diameter
Medium = 6.5 inches long by 1.25 inches in diameter
Large = 7.5 inches long by 1.5 inches in diameter

Based on the measurements, my Shiver is the Large and large it is!  Before I could move on to using it, I had to stare at it for a while.  I mean, it is green perfection!  As you can see in the pictures, this isn’t a smooth glass piece.  There are raised ‘v’s  in the glass that are completely connected and run around the middle of the shaft.

 
There are a few little bubbles inside the dildo, but that is to be expected in glass dildos.  Also, because each one is made individually, they differ slightly.  My Shiver also came with a little plastic stand to use for the dildo which is what it is on in the picture that it is laying down in.  I would never place the shaft directly on brick because it could scratch or chip glass (you should always check glass toys thoroughly before use).

All right, all right!  Enough about how this dildo looks!  Does it feel as good as it looks?  Well, I admit I was intimidated by the size, even though I’ve used bigger toys.  I mean, glass is solid, unforgiving, unyielding.  But, turns out my eyes are just cowards because this feels amazing and perfectly sized in the diameter category.  The texture on the shaft is easily felt, in a good way, and the firmness of the shaft feels great.  The length is a little bit more than I need but it does provide a nice handle for thrusting.  My preferred use of this toy is to thrust at the beginning after some warm up with another toy and then to insert it as much as feels comfortable and work on my clit.  I love the feel of my vaginal muscles squeezing down on the hard shaft of the Shiver, there’s something so satisfying about it.  Sometimes I like more thrusting, it just depends on my mood.

The only bad thing about the Shiver is that fluids tend to collect in the point ‘v’ shapes on the shaft.  It takes a little extra attention to make sure it all comes clean during washing.  I use warm water and anti-bacterial soap to clean my Shiver but you can also use toy cleaner.

Want a beautiful glass toy of your own?  You can get the Shiver directly from Simply Blown (and be sure to check out their other products, I kinda want one of each in various colors) or from Kama Sutra Closet.  I don’t think I’ve seen their stuff carried anywhere else, but both of these companies are solid.

Thanks to my friend K for this wonderful Christmas present!!
