Affordable, Elegant Glass Toy
This is an excellent glass toy at an entry-level price. It is a quality piece made of quality materials, is easy to care for, and should last many years.Published: May 30, 2011

Glass, weight, hygienic, easy care and clean, Pyrex
Cons:
Could be longer
This was our first entry into glass toys. I always thought of glass toys as being elegant and prestigious and, along with that, expensive. This dildo is very reasonably priced and would make a GREAT choice for anyone interested in trying a dildo made of glass.
This toy is, thankfully, very well packed in a thick foam insert with a molded slot to place the toy. This will make a great storage box to keep it for safekeeping for many, many years of use. Pulling the toy from the foam for the first time, you feel the heft of the solid glass. Holding it up with the light passing through and reflecting off of it, it really is a work of art. Having never owned a glass dildo, it was refreshing to feel the weight of this toy.
One end is very phallic shaped while the other end has a round "bulb" on the end. Both ends can be used, depending on which you prefer. The thickness of this toy is suitable for anal play of any experience level. It is not very thick at all, but it feels good. It has a spiral texture pattern down the length of the toy for a bit of an added sensation. The length is long enough to be used by yourself comfortably or by another person. However, for simultaneous double-ended use, it could be a bit longer. I believe it is much more effectively used for single penetration at a time.
The best features of this toy are related to the material. Since this toy is glass, it is nonporous and very safe, making it easy to clean. Not only is it glass, but it is Pyrex glass. This is a nice safety feature because Pyrex glass has much less of a tendency to shatter, but it would instead snap into large pieces. I look forward to many more fun times with this toy and perhaps expanding our toy box to include more glass toys. I suggest everyone give glass toys a try!

This still is our first and only glass toy, but maybe not the last. Or maybe we won't need another toy ever again. This is a new favorite. It doesn't have as soft a feel as a silicone, but I find I really don't notice. It looks great, is very durable, feels great, is easy to clean, and nicely sized for anal as well. Great, well priced product! What a deal!

What Is Your Favorite Material for Dildos?

What is eberyones favorite material? Mine is stainless steel. It warms with your body and is hypoallergenic. What is yours?

I always fear that glass will break, and the synthetic skins just remind me that Im not getting the real thing

Glass and silicone. Glass is completely safe, as long as you take care of it and don't drop it on a surface that will break or chip it then you have nothing to worry about! The ones sold here aren't made of the crappy quality some kitchen drink glasses are made of so you aren't going to crush them when gripping them and using them.

Thank you for viewing Icicles No. 1 – dildo review page!
Good review, thanks.
Okay review.
I really didn't get a feel on whether you really liked the toy or not.
But it does seem like a pretty cool toy.
You may want to try the extended template for reviews. It takes some more work but it helps to prompt you to write all the necessary info. The ribbing does look enticing on this dildo.
Sorry if you couldn't tell if I really liked it or not, but I did rate it 5 STARS. I'm going to do a follow up because, this might be a new favorite!
The toy sounds great. The extended template is actually easy once you get a few done! Thanks, I look forward to reading more of your reviews.
Great review!
Thanks for the review!
Thx!
