Do you use/like glass toys?

I was using something clitorally when I inserted my toy. My toy is similar to a wave wand and is very simple with 4 bumps and I only inserted the first before I pulled it out quickly and decided it just didn't feel good. I also used lube, but I figured I might like metal moreso and I can't explain why. Glass is just SO heavy. I was going as slow as possible when I first inserted it and let myself get used to the size, but it was only about 45 seconds I could stand with the weight, even with my hand holding it. It isn't too girthy, it's pretty slim. Maybe it really just isn't for me.

I wanted to add an other option and forgot, but I couldn't change the answers once I posted the poll. A glass toy as a vibrator sounds interesting, though.

i didn't vote either... i have used glass toys but don't really like them.

I voted I love glass, but that's not entirely true. There just wasn't any other option between love and like sometimes. I like SOME glass and not all the time. I find that my glass toys are for specific use, I have to be in the mood for them. Yes, most people LOVE and rave about glass toys to no end, but there's nothing wrong with you if you don't follow the crowd or "can't." I can relate, but not to glass. Being here, I constantly hear about anal like it's as normal and simple/easy as putting a toy in your vagina, but it is not. For the longest time I thought one day it would hit me and I would just have to use an anal toy. You could even say I thought about it so much, almost trying to like the idea of it. By the way people talk about it, it's like it's something that is supposed to happen, one day you'll decide you need something in your butt. That day never happened for me and I've recently realized that hey! Maybe anal play is simply NOT my normal. Just because every person (except me and MAYBE 2 others) engage in anal play, does not mean something is wrong with me because I cannot even begin to get comfortable with the idea, much less the act itself. My butt cheeks clench at the thought of putting something there and maybe that's because I just ain't cut out for it. It's OK.

It's so strange though that I expected to finally need or want something in my booty. I remember just weeks ago telling my partner that I just don;t think it'll ever happen. I said "but everybody does anal sex and it's weird that it's something that is impossible for me to think of as pleasurable." I told him that it finally clicked in my head that what feels good for others (even if it's almost everybody) does not, by any means, mean it's for others or will be pleasurable for others. I had no idea that I was even expecting it to happen until one day I thought "I truly won't ever desire something in that hole"

The point is, it's no big deal. You have your preferences. Most women like dildos that are realistic. I don't. I won't use them, don't even find em' attractive. I like average sizes otherwise it's going to tear me. I had to stop trying. Just because some women are able to buy a dildo of almost any size and it fit does not mean that will work for me. I learned it the hard way and wasted money on toys that have still never made their way inside me!

The way you described glass being unpleasant/painful is very similar to how hard plastic feels inside me. For the longest I assumed glass would be painful to me since plastic was, but after buying the Rotator, I decided I was fond of glass. Plastic hurts, even if it's small. Something about the plastic being in there just feels like you said, like heavy weights tugging on you. I thought I react to plastic in such a negative way because of my crappy reproductive system. I have endometriosis and my menstrual cycle is a curse. I often wonder if the plastic just rubs my insides the wrong way. I ALWAYS feel uterine pain when plastic is inside me, no matter how far. I don't know why glass doesn't do it. Glass can be super uncomfortable to me on days where I'm overly sensitive down there and it's impossible to use a lot of toys when I'm menstruating due to the pain. However, like you, I prefer soft materials on most days.

I can't go crazy thrusting with glass just any day. I find I really have to be relaxed and without any pain in order to enjoy it, and on those days, my rotator works wonders! Another thing, I hear most people talk like they can have orgasm after orgasm with glass toys. For me, I might be doing great and have several amazing O's with my glass toys, but after so long, it begins to be uncomfortable. It's all about preferences and everbody is different.

The glass Rotator has been a favorite of mine for so long. As I've explained, my insides can be so very sensitive and painful to the point of not leaving the house on some days, but the rotator is something I can use and really enjoy. There are a few Icicles that really work nicely for me as well. EF doesn't carry most of the Icicles I have unfortunately.

In my opinion, if your body is going to take nicely to any glass, it'd probably be the Rotator. I'm sure that's not the case with everybody, but I feel I'm a pretty good example here. I continue to buy glass toys, but they really have to stand out. I won't buy large toys at all. If it's textured and has a nice ball-ish end for G-spotting, I'll probably like it. I like a lot of texture though.

I think what I like about glass is that my partner can take it very slow and I'm able to feel unique and powerful stimulation from the hard nubs, swirls or bulbs. Those sensations are so unlike anything else and doing it slowly and feeling that is what I enjoy. The rotator, I get rough with and thrust because it's short and has a bulbous like end for G-spotting.

If you think glass wands are heavy, then you should just stick with plastic or silicone toys to be safe. You mentioned that you might like metal more, but do you know that metal (stainless steel) wands are much heavier than glass ones?

Come to think of it, if your glass dildo is shaped like the Wave wand, then maybe it's the bulbous texture that's bothering you and not the weight. If you still want to try a different glass dildo, find one that has subtle ridges like the Gold laced G instead.
