Icicles No. 4 - vibrator by Pipedream - review by ellierae

I think this is a great toy for beginners, or for those women who just don't like toys with a lot of girth. It's very thin, so even a virgin to both sex and masturbation would be able to use it. It's close to the size of a regular tampon. The bullet allows you to experiment with different vibrations, whether in the shaft or used separately. It's not intended to be a rabbit, or for the bullet to reach your clitoris while it's inserted in the loop on the shaft. The shaft is a bit too long to try it. The head is angled to hit your G-Spot, but it's a little too pokey for intense thrusting. In fact, because of the hardness of glass, I don't suggest hard thrusting at all. Because of it having a wider handle, you could also use it for anal play.

I'm a huge fan of glass. You can clean it better and easier than any other toy, even easier than silicone. Taste and smell are non-existent. I know some people don't like glass because of the hardness, but I love it. That said, don't just thrust wildly without testing things out. Be careful, because glass CAN hurt you, and be even more careful if you're using this on a partner. There's also pink swirls that add a little bit of texture to the toy, but not much.

As I said before, the swirls are great. They only add a little bit of texture to make it interesting, so if you're sensitive to texture like I am, this won't bother you.

The size of this toy makes it great for beginners or women that are really tight and just need some warming up. Although the tapered head makes it easy to insert, it makes thrusting/g-spot rubbing painful. The length is too long, hard, and straight for most to insert, so don't expect to be able to fit the whole thing. The handle makes it very easy to hold and also makes anal play possible.

The bullet comes with a variety of different vibration settings. Held in the hand, the vibrations are really strong and may numb your fingers. Once put into the loop of the handle on the dildo, they're decently strong but don't add much power to the tip of the dildo where the g-spot curve is.

Setting for the vibrations are as follows:
1) Low
2) Medium
3) High
4) Pulsing
5) A long pulse followed by three short pulses
6) A roller coaster from low to high and back again
7) Short pulse, short pulse, long pulse, repeat
8) Long pulse repeating
9) High pulsing
10) Fast pulse on high setting.

The bullet out of the glass is pretty quiet, so I don't think it would be heard through a closed door, but once the bullet is in the glass, it gets a little louder. I'd suggest playing some music or something so no one outside the door will be able to hear. I have used this vibe about 5 times, each time about 30 minutes with no signs of losing power. So, I'd say that the batteries will last a good while.

As I'm sure most of you know, glass is one of the easiest materials to clean and sanitize. You can boil it, bleach it using a 10% solution, use a toy cleaner, or even put it on the top rack of the dishwasher.
The controller and bullet, on the other hand, are not waterproof so your best bet would be to just wipe them down with a damp cloth. Also, all oil, silicone, and water-based lubes are compatible with this toy.

The box that the No.4 comes in is not that discreet, but serves to protect the toy very nicely. Inside the box is a form fitting foam insert to keep it safe. There is also a place for the controller and bullet. The box has a window-like cover that is held closed by a magnet. You open it with a little ribbon-looking handle, then inside it has a window so that you can see all the contents of the toy.
