I've seen lots of different types of glass on eden. This toy I am interested in is pyrex glass and I'm wondering what is the difference between all the different glasses that toys are made from.

Engaging topic analysis of Glass dildo:

Vibrator through glass?
How does this feel? Is it the same as a non glass vibrator? link

I am buying my mom her first glass dildo should I get her the same one I have since I know that it is a good first glass dildo?
I was talking to my mom today and asked her if she has ever tried a glass dildo. She was like no. She said it in an odd way which I asked her why she.

I am not 100% sure (been awhile since I looked around) but most if not all glass toys found here are Borosilicate (pyrex) glass. As such they have the same basic qualities you will find in cookware. These toys are at the top of list in terms of safety. Anything else is sub par, that's not to say they are not still good toys but they will not take the same abuse. (See Test one of Pyrex and Test #2

Now, there is also two basic ways of molding the glass; by hand and by placing the molten glass in a mold to form it. This is pretty much why there is such a price difference between toys. The high priced toys are made one at a time by the artisan and you are paying for his/her expertise. You will also find the higher priced glass will have more colors/designs molded into the glass versus the cheaper ones.

Hope that helps a bit, if you see something that I am missing let me know and I'll take a look and tell ya what I know.

One last thing if I may, always check your glass before use no matter who makes it or the price. Small scratches may feel alright to the hand but can cause micro-abrasions to delicate tissues and may lead to cracks or breakage. When in doubt, toss it and get a new one.

Thanks so much! I love visiting your page by the way, you are very informative! I didn't think of scratches... ouch. Haven't yet tried anything glass but I'm hoping to very soon. Having trouble with a few of my links at the moment and need to ask a lot of questions about materials rather than just clicking the link that Eden provides. It's great to have a community of knowledgeable people to help out too.
