Icicles No. 1 - sex toy by Pipedream - review by SugarLips

Icicles No. 1 is a long double ended glass dildo perfect for vaginal and anal use. The ball on the end is larger than the rest of the toy to prevent it from becoming lost in the rectum. I should mention that any anal play with this toy should be done carefully because it is exceptionally long, very hard, and has a very pronounced texture. Extreme thrusting or inserting it too far into the rectum could potentially cause tearing, but when done properly, anal probing with this dildo is very satisfying! Also, care should be taken when thrusting inside the vagina as rigid toys can bruise the cervix.

Due to its length, it is very easy to hold onto and position which makes it great for g-spot stimulation (I cannot speak to it's p-spotting capabilities, but I could imagine it would also be good for that!).

This toy is also great for tub and shower play since it is waterproof. Just make sure you don't drop it on any hard surfaces. It is pretty hard to break Pyrex, but it is still possible.

Never insert this (or any other toy) into the vagina after anal use without properly sanitizing first. Always practice safe sex, and if you are going to share this toy without sanitizing first, make sure you used a condom to prevent the transfer of bodily fluids.

I would not deem this toy as "travel friendly". It does not come with a protective pouch, it's rather large, and it is not at all discreet.

The Icicle No. 1 is made of Pyrex Glass which is not only safe and non-porous, but it also retains temperature well and requires little lube. Since it is non-porous, it will not absorb chemicals or bacteria. Pyrex is also less likely to break or shatter than regular glass. It is Phthalates and latex free.

For me, the best feature of this toy is the texture. It has very pronounced ripples wound around the shaft. This is my favorite type of texture, and if you also enjoy this type of stimulation, you will not be disappointed!

I love cold sensations, and this toy definitely retains temperature! I popped it in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes before playing with it, and it remains cold throughout (approximately 20 minutes). Never place a glass toy in the freezer as this can actually be dangerous for you. When frosty things touch moist areas of the body they can sometimes stick (think of the flag pole scene from A Christmas Story). You should also never play it in the microwave as it can come out way too hot. The best way to warm up your toy is to run it under hot water for 2-5 minutes. You can also do that with cold water, but I choose to pop it in the fridge, so that I don't waste the water.

There is no odor or taste to this toy which is always a plus!

Icicle No. 1 is a gorgeous hand blown glass dildo and is just as artistic as it is functional. It's absolutely stunning to look at! There are no flaws (bubbles or specks) in the toy I received. It truly has the look and feel of an expensive, luxury toy (but check the price!).

It is not at all discreet. It looks like a dildo, and you can tell it's a dildo!

It's longer than other glass dildos which is what drew me to it initially. Don't be intimidated however--it's long but not at all threatening or overwhelming (especially when it comes to the girth).

I took my own measurements:
Length from end to end: 9 inches
Insertable length: Just under 8 inches (I determined this by measuring from the tip to just before the ball starts since the ball is what I hold onto)
Circumference of the shaft: 3.5 inches
Circumference of the ball: 4.75 inches

Whether you're new to glass toys or you're a glass connoisseur, you will not be disappointed by this product! It's beautiful and high quality. It feels great when inserted, while thrusting, and while running it along the labia, over the clitoris, or across the nipples! Hands down, the texture of the spiral shaft and the smooth glass of this toy makes it one of the best I've ever tried!

The wonderful thing about Pyrex glass toys is that they have the potential to last forever if cared for properly. This toy is not flimsy or cheap. It's never going to just fall apart in your hands. It's never going to deteriorate or become unsanitary. That makes this toy an exceptional value!

Let's hear a big "hip hip hooray" for glass dildos. They couldn't be easier to care for! You can use any type of toy cleanser, soap, or wipes to clean it, and it is compatible with all types of lube. It's also dishwasher safe and can be boiled in order to sterilize.

Unfortunately, this toy did not come with a protective pouch, so I would recommend buying one or making one to store the toy in! It does not collect lint.

Typically I run mine under hot water, spritz it with a special toy cleanser, let it sit for 2 minutes and then wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

The packaging is very lovely! The black and white box is high quality and classy (but not exactly discreet) and would be a nice gift as long as you don't mind everybody seeing what it is. It comes in a cardboard box that features a picture of the dildo and a written description on the back. The front of the box is acutally a flap which opens by pulling a small ribbon to reveal a little plastic window through which you can see the actual toy. The flap secures closed with a magnet. The toy is safely nestled inside a foam tray which protects it from damage. You could keep it in the box for storage, but it is hard to pull the toy out of the tray and that was slightly annoying to me.

There is no informational booklet included.

This is my new favorite toy, and I rated it a 5 out of 5 because I truly believe it deserves it. It is upscale and luxurious without the luxury price. The style of this toy is elegant, and the texture is perfect! I would recommend it to anybody who is curious about glass toys and those who are already in love with them!

I use this toy frequently and is an integral part of my "routine" if you will. It is my go-to toy when I want excitement and intense stimulation. I love to rub both the tip and the ball of the toy over my clit. The smooth glass is silky and feels nice and slick. It's also really fun to use it on my nipples when it's cold because it really gets them hard and stimulates them - almost like using ice cubes for a little tease but without the mess of melting ice! Since it's already so smooth and slippery, I use very little lube. Usually I am someone who uses a lot of lube generally because I don't like that "dragging" or rubbing sensation that occurs sometimes, but with this toy, that is not necessary.

For anal play, however, I used as much lube as I normally would with any other toy. Since there isn't the same sort of natural lubrication present in the rectum as in the vagina, it's important to use enough lube to prevent damage or discomfort. I used this toy anally for probing and very light thrusting. It provided a nice full feeling as well as a "popping" sensation as the ridges moved in and out (much like you would experience with anal beads). When used anally, this toy intensifies my orgasms exponentially.
