Icicles No. 37 - anal probe by Pipedream - review by subhny

We got this toy a few weeks ago and I procrastinated a lot before finally breaking down and using it. Well, he tied me up, then used it. I am, as any of my followers know, a big fan of glass and steel toys. However I do not usually like nubbies. For myself they usually tend to be a bit too harsh for my tender bits. This toy proved me right and wrong.

Vaginal use, it is not a large toy, it is average size and the nubs provide extra stimulation. The loop provides a nice handle to grip as glass will sometimes become slippery with lube and secretions. The nubs for once were very erotic and felt like little fingers massaging my inner bits. I thought I was speaking in tongues at some point during play.

Then we moved on to anal the head slid in very easily with lube, but the nubs OUCH! Maybe it is just my tender parts, but no way do I feel this is a good anal toy. Still not sure why he thought that was a good idea. The nubs felt like small spikes in my rectum. Now this was with a spinning motion but he decided to try another move. He began to slowly slide it in and out without the turning and the nubs had a completely different feeling.

So with this particular toy I can only say you would have to experiment to see what and where it's appropriate uses would be. I prefer it vaginal, but in the near future I may be going anal again.

Made from glass, which is an inorganic, non metallic material that does not have a crystalline structure. Such materials, are said to be amorphous and are virtually solid liquids cooled at such a rate that crystals have not been able to form. Pyrex, a brand name for borosilicate glass, is made by adding boron into the mixture of sand, soda and ground lime.

Pyrex is a hard material with a high chemical resistance and mechanical strength. The boron in Pyrex reduces any stress caused to the material due to temperature changes. It is less dense than ordinary glass, making it much more resistant to shattering and breaking as well; if it were to break it would not shatter or splinter into tiny pieces, but instead it would snap or break in large pieces. It retains temperature extremely well and requires only a little lube for a super-slippery effect.

Texture- the head/tip is very smooth and the shaft has bumps and the ring base is a smooth glass.

The size is that of an average penis. I love that it's easy to clean and the ability to use just about anywhere.

The size and the ring base are my favorite points of this toy. The nubs have their good and bad points, no pun intended. The size is a great one for beginners, but for beginner anal or experienced anal it can be a bit too much. Well the size not so much for experienced anal but the nubs are borderline "KEEP OUT"! Be gentle and if you are the wielder of the toy be mindful of your partner as this one can hurt.

Easy as with most glass toys- extremely smooth and nonporous. Easy to clean, with soap/water or sex toy cleaner. Use condoms if sharing. Can be used with silicone, water, oil based lubricants.

This doesn't come with a storage bag. Either purchase one or you can use the box but to save space and to re-purpose I use old socks that have lost their mates.

Comes in a box with foam inserts. This box can be used to house the toy which is where I have mine at the present time.
