This toy was definitely designed
The Icicles Tapered Teaser is an ideal beginning toy for those new to
glass dildos because of its low price-point and slim girth. It does have a quite bulbous head on one end for the more experienced user, but I personally found it too big to try. I am not an experienced user of
anal toys, so I am not sure if the bulb would make the toy safe enough for anal play.
They toy is not quite as pretty as a
Phallix glass toy, but it is only a small fraction of the price. The Icicles Tapered Teaser is also not as heavy as the
Phallix toys, and thus feels a bit more fragile to me. If you take care of it, though, you will probably be fine. Though not laced with gold or anything, this is still a very pretty toy and the pictures do not do it justice. Instead of just the blue twisting swirl running through the length of the toy, the glass is a lovely iridescent shade that gives off a rainbow effect.
I got this toy because all my other glass toys have nubs or spirals or other pronounced textures, and I wanted to try something with just the smooth feel of glass. This toy has slight bulbs, which I like, no texturing, and was definitely the right price.
I am often amazed at how stimulating, and even realistic, textured glass dildos can feel, but I was in for an entirely different experience with the
Icicles Tapered Teaser. The glass is smooth as can be, with just the smooth, gradual, minor bulbs on the shaft which give it some pizzazz. I tried this toy with
Tantric Lovers Stimulate-Er Gel. The cooling effect of the gel combined with the cool glass toy made for an amazing experience, and I will definitely be using this combination again!
Though not as fancy, elegant or as heavy as some higher-end glass dildos, the Icicles Tapered Teaser is an excellent choice for those looking to try their first glass toy!
Anal use is iffy- with a partner who's holding on and paying attention, it would be fine. Alone- looks like that bulb might not be big enough to serve as a flange.
Did that gel keep the glass cool for your entire play session- longer than it would stay cool otherwise, you think?
That was kind of my feeling on anal use, especially since the toy is so smooth. The lube didn't really produce the "tingling sensation" it promised,but it did keep the toy cool for pretty much my entire play session, or at least produced a cool feeling in conjunction with the glass.
Also, in regards to using this toy for anal play, well....it just feels kind of fragile to me. It's made of Pyrex, but feels much "thinner" and lighter (almost hollow) than my other glass toys.
Did you like the gel more than keeping it in a bowl of ice water?
It really is pretty, even if not *as* pretty...
Thanks for the review. It looks like it would be a nice addition to the toy chest.
I was just wondering how did it come packaged?
