Affordable Glass Toys

Contributor: Ciao. Ciao. 05/03/2009

Glass has much to offer as a sex toy material (safety, temperature play, texture, aesthetics) but until recently glass toys have been relatively expensive in comparison with even silicone toys. Luckily there are a few dildos out there that are starting to bridge that cap, creating wonderful entry-level glass toys that anyone can enjoy. The question at hand...which of these "affordable" (meaning under $50) glass dildos is the best and why?

Glass toys are known for their sculptural design features...so which of these seems the most artistically interesting?

I'm happy that FF has so much Toy Joy Glass Worxx (4 toys in this poll alone). I love my Shiny Orglassm - it's similar to some of the icicles that FF already carries but still different. I got it for about $20.

For beginners, as I was when I bought it, I'd recommend the Icicles no. 8, it's lovely, intriguing and feels good to boot. But the Snake of Paradise is a beautiful toy I would love to get my paws on ^_^ I also would definitely NOT recommend the Taffy Tickler. Those rubber things collect EVERYTHING. Blech.

The ones with a lot of texture look WAY intense for a beginner - seconding Icicles No. 8.

I'm getting one similar to the Snake Paradise (Amber Wave), but that looks like a ton of fun!

To be honest, I've had a fetish for glass lately. I want all of them. Especially the Rainbow Nubby to compliment the Rainbow Wand!

I just started collecting glass toys since the facebook friends discounts have started. I got both of mine for $7.50 each, LOVE the rainbow nubby for anal play, but hurts vaginally (odd, I thought it would be the other way around if at all) I am waiting for my second one, since I just bought it yesterday, lol.

If you are searching for glass toys are you searching for a good value, something that fills a particular niche, a toy that you would love to display in your living room? What is it about glass toys that is most appealing? Since these toys are often more expensive is value so important with glass toys or is it more about quality and aesthetic design concerns?

Lol - I could never display one of these in the living room. Well, maybe the snake .

I think it's more the aesthetic design and their usefulness. Although, I will admit, I do have a glass candy cane.

I think design (shape, function, execution) & colour (how it catches the eye) are foremost; secondary would be value & storage packaging. Heavily padded bags always get more of my immediate attention, though that can be sacrificed for greater benefits in design, colour and value.

For glass, I look for (in order):

1. price
2. beauty
3. size
4. shape

The price is definitely the first and foremost consideration. The shape and feel is also important, and I want colors that please the eye even if the piece isn't the most artsy one out there. I have glass butt plugs that are both solid colors, and I have no problem with the fact that their coloring isn't fancy. Mostly it's about the feel for me, though. I like getting a feel for the weight and the texture and the curvature of the actual toy before buying it, which is actually one reason I've never purchased a glass toy online.

I would love to display the snake of paradise it just looks so cool! I have displayed my glass wand as a wand and gotten a few funny comments. It's a great conversation starter! The waterfall type toys look almost like they could be blown glass art so with a pretty wooden stand or just a highly polished wooden block as a stand it could be the most functional art you ever owned. LOL I'd definately display mine.

I look for price, quality, design and uniqueness though I look forward to the day when I don't have to list price first...you know after I win the lottery!

I'm very interested in the aesthetics, and then I look at the quality.

I look for something beautiful first of all! Then most of the time I realize it's too expensive... So I guess when I'm browsing I put design/aesthetics first, but when I'm buying I put the price first - sigh.

I like the aesthetics, but the quality and cleanliness definitely helps.

Because there's no give, I prefer a glass toy to have a curve to fit my body better.
But it also has to look really nice cause it will be on show in my display cabinet.

I look for texture, shape and color. It has to be easy to hold with some texture and a curve(s).

I think it's usually a toss up between function and design for me. I really love most anything glass so picking one just for play is really hard because I love to look at them almost as much.

Shape is the most important for glass since it's very unforgiving, followed closely by texture.

I'd have to go with the G-Spot Gemstone over the Rainbow Mega Nubby, and only because I love my g-spot. Otherwise I'd definitely buy the Rainbow Mega Nubby. Both are in my wishlist!

I bought a rainbow mega nubby and have been fervently recommending it ever since.

Contributor: Luscious Lily Luscious Lily
Unfortunately, I found out the hard way that hard, very bumpy surfaces like those on the mega nubby cause me a great deal of pain, so those are all out of the question for me, drool-worthy though they are. I have a simple glass dildo (which is unfortunately not offered on EF) that has a shape between the icicle and the sapphire waterfall. We both absolutely adore it, and if we hadn't just made a large toy purchase or two, the sapphire waterfall would be high on the list of things to get next.

I think I'd go either with the snake or the Indigo intruder (correction - the Indigo intruder. My wife says that she doesn't like snakes and there's no way one is going *there*).

It's curved (curves make it easier to find the spots in any case and insertion for anal play is easier), smooth, and has a nice head.

The new SSA options aren't on this list, because it predates them.

The Sapphire Waterfall, even though it's more expensive than some options. I like the shape and aesthetics of it best.
