Icicles No. 8 - dildo sex toy by Pipedream - review by Beck

Use
The Icicles No.8 is a double ended dildo that can be used anally and vaginally. Therefore it can be enjoyed by men and women alike. If you use this vaginally than you can use any end you would like, but if you use this anally you will only want to insert the smaller end, so the larger ball can act as a base. Be sure to keep a good grip onto this, just in case. This dildo can be easily handled by you or your partner, so it is a great couples toy, but it is not something that will work well for double penetration. You can move this by rocking, thrusting, swirling, and popping in and out, which will provide stimulation to the area. It aims for hitting the G-Spot or the P-spot.

Material
There is only one color option for this dildo and that is clear with blue swirled in the inside, but it also appears to have a rainbow colored film on it. (You know how when soap is mixed in water and there is a rainbow of colors in the water, that is what the film looks like.) The dildo is made out of Pyrex glass which has a level 10 for safety. Glass is latex free, phthalates free, hypo allergenic, and non porous. If you would like to share a glass toy you can boil for sterilizing in between non fluid bond partners or just use a condom. There is never any odor or taste to glass. Glass is smooth to the touch, but firm and unforgiving. You will want to be careful not to bruise your cervix and if you put this in your mouth be careful of your teeth. The best part about glass is that it is great for temperature play. You should only change the temperature of your toy for use by warm or cold water, but you can use ice. Drastic temperature changes then use could result in injury.

Texture
There really is no texture added to the the dildo, but the shape of the dildo is wavy. The wavy shape allows for G-spot and P-spot stimulation. The waves allow for direct stimulation with a small pause, which is nice.

Design/Shape/Size
The design of this toy is very beginner friendly. It is slender 3.25" circumference (1"diameter), for the majority of the shaft, but The largest ball is 4.75"circumference (1.5" diameter). The length is only 7" total, but insertable 6". The shaft has 4 waves/ripples with two rounded ends. The shaft is mostly the same around, except for where is curves in, until you get the large ball on the end. This dildo has no controls, so it is 100% waterproof.

Performance/Experience
The size is a little small for my taste. I think I would of enjoyed this toy a lot more if this was my first glass piece. I found it lacked in girth to please me. I did enjoy the use of it, but not as much as I was hoping for. I prefer the larger end inserted and used my my Salsa vibe for clitoral stimulation. Only with clitoral stimulation can I achieve orgasm with this dildo. It was not disappointing, just not suited for my needs, but would be the best to start glass with.

Cleaning/Storage/Lube
Glass is easy to care for, just wash with soap and water, toy cleaner, or toy wipes. If you do share this you should boil for no longer than 3-5minutes for sterilizing. This dildo comes in a package that can be suitable for storage, but if you find it too bulky you may want to get a toy pouch for it. Glass is compatible with all lubes, so enjoy with lube of your choice.

Packaging

I still like this glass piece. It's not my favorite, but it's effective. I pick my Swell Wand over this one any day.
