Use
This toy is great for someone who doesn't need very intense vibrations to reach orgasm. If you need a bit more to get you going, this isn't the vibe for you. The vibrations on it feel a bit muted, perhaps by the glass, although on the box, there are claims that the glass intensifies the vibrations and transmits them better. It's good for clitoral stimulation, and the curve on the end can easily find the G-spot. It's also waterproof, so it's good for bath-time fun. For me, it works for foreplay, but I need something else to actually get the job done. It should also be mentioned that it's great for temperature play, being that it's made of glass.
Material / Texture
The texture of this vibrator is the main reason for the score. When I ordered it, I saw that it was glass, and therefore expected a nice and soft glass vibrator. For some reason they took the surface of it and gave it a "velvety" texture. While I'm all for giving plastic a nice velvety texture, this does not work for glass. I removed it from its packaging and almost put it right back in. The texture reminds me of a chalkboard, which gives me childhood memories of nails on a chalkboard. This means that I can't touch it without getting chills, and not the good kind. I powered through, thinking that perhaps I would get over the texture, but after using it numerous times for this review, I think it will be put away back in its box never to be opened again.
Design / Shape / Size
The design of the Reflections Glee is similar to most g-spot vibes. It is 6-1/2 inches long, with 5 inches of insertable length, 1-1/4 inch diameter, and 4-1/8 inches circumference. It's not too large, making it a great beginner g-spot vibrator. I wouldn't recommend using it in the anus, as it doesn't have any sort of handle to stop it from getting lost inside. It can, however be used to stimulate the external area of the anus and perineum.
Functions / Performance / Controls
The Reflections Glee vibrator is operated by a push button on the end of the base. It even has a little 3 written on the button to remind you that it has three settings. The only problem with the push button is that if you touch it even the slightest bit, it pauses the vibrations. This can cause a bit of an interruption if you're trying to increase the intensity. It's not very noisy, and if I had a roommate, I wouldn't worry about them ever hearing me using it. I did take it into the bath and it performed beautifully. It is fully waterproof, so feel free to use it in the tub, pool, hot tub, wherever your heart desires!
Care and Maintenance
The Reflections Glee is very easy to care for. Glass is one of the simplest materials when it comes to maintenance. It can be easily cleaned with just soap and water, or your favorite toy cleaner. There are no crevices for any debris to get stuck in. The one thing about it, though, is that it is a plastic vibe surrounded by glass, so I wouldn't recommend boiling or putting it in the dishwasher to sterilize it, as there's a chance that it could melt the plastic. However, since it is glass, it is compatible with all types of lubes, and it is safe to store alongside any other toys you may have.
Personal comments
I personally will not be using this toy again. Not because of the functions or the size or anything like that, but simply because of the texture. I tried, but could not get past the feel of it. I've read some of the other reviews on this product, and some people have really enjoyed the "velvety" feel of the glass, but I want to just take it and put it in one of those old fashioned rock tumblers, just to give it a smooth feel. I really do get chills every time I pick it up, fearing that my fingernails might brush against it, and it will make me feel like I'm in school again, with fingernails running down a chalkboard.
