Icicles No. 24 - dildo discontinued by Pipedream - review by firekitten

This is my first glass toy I've ever used. I'll be honest and say I chose it primarily because it is so stunning to look at, and it appeared to have a bit more girth than anything else I have. In person, it is nowhere near as vibrant pink as it appears in pictures, and is mostly translucent.

There are so many things I really loved about this toy. First, it's width is exactly what I needed to orgasm quite quickly and intensely. The length measures at 6 1/2" (4 1/2" insertable) and 4 1/2" diameter. The way it's formed, and it's size gave a great feeling of fullness that I just haven't experienced with many other toys.

Because it's glass it can be used for temperature play. The first time I used it I didn't do anything to it so it was a chilly room temperature and was intriguing to notice the difference after use. Just dunk it in either cold or hot water, whichever tickles your fancy. I'd advise against using the microwave since it can heat unevenly, it's very easy to burn yourself using this method. Overall, though, it retains temperature pretty well.

The texture of this thing is fantastic! The bumps that make up the "suction cups" and ridges along the bend are fabulous. The shape is curved just enough to adequately stimulate the G-spot, or any other spot because the handle makes it very easy to maneuver.

But the absolute best thing about this toy is that there is no limit to the possibilities. Your imagination really is the limit! You can use it so the tip stimulates the g-spot, or turn it around for a completely different experience. You could possibly try anal with it, though the bumps and size are too intimidating for me. It can be used hot or cold, or even in the shower.

The loop that makes up the handle is a bit difficult to get the hang of for me, and I think it's because I have long skinny fingers. But it makes it so much easier (and safer!) for the shower or with lube. Obviously glass becomes slippery when wet, and the last thing you want is your new $50 dildo crashing to the bottom of your porcelain tub or shower!

Glass toys are non porous and have the added advantage of being able to be completely sterilized with confidence. Simply toss it in the top rack of the dishwasher or boil for three minutes. It can also be cleaned with regular toy cleaner. This means you can share between partners easily and without worry.

You'll want to come up with a storage solution for this one, unless you choose to use the box it came in and it's foam insert. Velvet bags (with or without pads) or simply nestle it in a drawer with lots of padding. Check for any cracks or chips before every use.

You can use either water or silicone based lube with glass, I haven't used any with it but be sure to take advantage of the hook on the end to keep from dropping or losing grip. Because glass is very smooth to begin with, a little lube goes a long way so don't use too much. You'll also want to be sure to use it if you take it in the shower. You may try fashioning a wrist leash and attaching it to the hook for added security.

I still absolutely love this dildo. The texture is unlike anything else I have, and it still hits all the right spots. Definitely still one of my favorites.
