I'm just exploring all about glass and want to learn as much as possible about it before buying, if I buy.

Captivating topic discussions on Glass dildo:

Do ceramic toys break?
I love the look of this and it seems like great quality but I've never used a ceramic toy before, & The bag it comes in isn't padded. Are ceramic toys

I love and hate you glass!
I just tried my first glass toy last night. Although I loved it, sometimes as my hubby was thrusting it, it would hit my pubic bone..ouch!does anyone.

I almost picked "other". Glass is a harder material than hard plastic. However, from the perspective of the user they may seem almost identical. For sex toy functional use neither of them have any "give" the way softer plastics/rubbers/silic ones do. I hope this makes sense.

Glass will not budge while plastic has a bit of leeway.

Glass just feels different. It is harder yes, but it is also slicker and it has a colder feeling. But you can change that by running hot water over the toy before use. I love glass! [https://www.edenfantasys.com/dildos/classic-dildos-and-dongs/icicles-no-17|Icicles 17 was my first glass and it is a great g-spot toy. Another glass toy I love is the serenity. I think you should give glass a try!

It depends on the plastic you're comparing it to, actually. I think the Turbo Glide Blueberry Bliss feels pretty similar to glass, hardness wise, although glass has a coldness to it that plastic lacks, as well as a weight, so for the most part, glass does feel somewhat harder.

On a scientific hardness scale like the Mohs rating glass is harder. But at the practical level both are hard enough to do damage if not used properly.

We've had glass toys for more than 10 years - the first ones out were very expensive - but they are worth it. The new lower cost Icicles line is great - stop studying and buy a couple that have been reviewed positively by community members that you trust.

Great points made so far in contrasting plastic and glass.

I would also add that glass is heavier... for example when thrusting, it is easier to hurt yourself with glass than with plastic. It only very rarely has happened, and only when not really thinking, etc. But it's denser and heavier than plastic. It just feels totally different.

And may I add, I much prefer the feel and effects of glass.

To me glass feels very different, but not necessarily harder. I agree with others about it actually being harder, but practically not making a difference in use. Other factors, such as weight and temperature, help make glass feel totally different from plastic. At least for me.

Just go for it. There's plenty of inexpensive glass toys on Eden.

Yes, others have already given great explanations so I won't repeat them.

I went the opposite route - my first toy order included three glass toys - and I didn't buy more expensive toys made of silicone until later. One of them, the bent graduate, is a toy I still use regularly.

There are quite a few relatively inexpensive glass toys that are highly rated so my suggestio would be to take the plunge - buy a few toys that have dissimilar shapes and textures that appeal to you and have some fun.

You still have not got that first glass toy yet? I don't blame you I was a little scared too at first and did a lot of research.

They're technically harder, as in they're more resistant to indentation, but the degree of difference in hardness isn't something which is noticeable during use.

I think so glass is harder.

Does this really have to be argued? It's pretty obvious.

Glass is completely rigid, no flex to it at all. Can be fun toys though.

Glass dildos and hard plastic dildos both feel very similar in firmness to me but glass is obviously more durable than plastic and it's also weightier, which gives it a more solid feeling.

Yes because it's glass. It will break more easily than plastic. But.... it is a more solid piece of equipment
