Icicles No. 18 - double ended dildo discontinued by Pipedream - review by Winifred

Glass has many uses; just about anything imaginable. It can be used anywhere, is compatible with every lubrication, and can be manipulated by cool or heat for temperature play. Icicles No. 18 is double ended and is primarily used vaginally and for g-spot stimulation. However, running the smooth surface of the glass over the clitoris is extremely pleasurable. I have not used this dildo anally, but it should be safe to do so as long as you have a careful partner helping you. Remember that glass can be very slippery in combination with lubricant! Also, please use caution while using this dildo vaginally because glass can bruise the cervix or snag the pubic bone when being thrust too hard or inserted at the wrong angle.

I love this dildo for g-spot massage because of the nice curve it has to it. The glass texture feels so nice being slowly rocked back and forth inside my body. I like starting out with my Icicle being cold and having it warm up inside of me. Another one of my favorite uses for this item is rubbing the bulbed end over my clitoris. I feel like I could cum by this alone and that says a lot for me because I usually need quite a bit of clitoral stimulation for orgasm. I haven't taken this dildo in the bath or shower yet, but I think it would be fun to heat up the glass while in the water. There are so many uses for this dildo, it is amazing!

Icicles No. 18 is a Borosilicate (Pyrex) glass dildo that has a safety rating of 10 out of 10. This type of glass is particularly resistant to extreme temperature changes and won't break as easily in such a circumstance. Glass is just about the safest sex toy material on the market. It doesn't leach chemicals, is non-porous, and can be easily disinfected. There is no smell or taste to the glass. Also, the type of glass that this dildo is made of is very strong and resistant to any type of trauma it may undergo. In my opinion, glass is the way to go if you enjoy the feel of something that isn't at all flexible. It may take some getting used to at first, but if you haven't tried any glass toys yet, I would recommend it!

If you have an aversion to textured toys you might not be interested in this one. There are raised bumps on the middle section of the dildo that can be easily felt when inserted vaginally. I enjoy texture so I really love the feel of this dildo, but it could be a bit much for some users. Glass texture can be felt a little more strongly than silicone in my opinion. This is a double ended dildo. One side has a single bulb that is slightly pointed at the tip. The other side has two large circular bulbs. Each side has quite a different feel. It's fun to experiment with each side to figure out which works best.

I have yet to find any flaws in the design of this toy. The curve is great for g-spot stimulation and the double ends give this dildo great versatility. I like to hold the double bulbed end as a sort of handle while I'm moving the other side in and out of my vagina. This is not a small piece of glass, so beware of that if you're looking for something on the thin side. This dildo is 1 1/2" in diameter at its largest point and has a length of 7 3/4". It could be a little much for beginners who haven't tried glass or any type of dildo before. Most of the Icicle is clear, but the textured bumps are blue and there is a beautiful red flower in the double bulbed end which can be seen while using the single bulbed side. Overall, the design and shape of this dildo are very attractive and well crafted. This toy is not realistic looking so it could probably pass as just a muscle massager if discretion is desired. If being discreet isn't an issue for you, I'm sure this beauty will make a lovely discussion piece!

This dildo has not been disappointing in the performance category. Glass does take some getting used to, but once you know what works for you, this toy will give you hours upon hours of pleasure. The bumps and bulbs give intense sensations with minimal effort. The smooth feel of the glass is exhilarating! Heat it up with warm water or cool it down in the freezer for added stimulation. If you can think it up, you can probably do it with this toy! You won't want this dildo to stray too far and your orgasms will be plentiful!

Glass toys are very easy to care for. They are non-porous so clean up is simple with soap and warm water. It is recommended to cover all dildos being shared with condoms, but if you want to sterilize this piece instead you can do so with bleach or boiling in water for five minutes. This toy is also dishwasher safe if you wish to clean it that way instead. Unfortunately, this dildo does not come with any type of storage bag so you may want to wrap the glass in some type of fabric or keep it in the foam block it comes in to prevent breakage.

Icicles No. 18 comes in a pretty box with a picture of the dildo on the front which isn't very discreet if you don't want anyone to know what's inside. The box has a magnetic front flap that opens to reveal the actual product inside which is sitting in a foam block for protection. There are directions on the box about caring for the toy. The only negative thing I can say about this item is that it does not come with any type of permanent storage bag. It's unfortunate that not all glass toys do.

This was my first glass toy and I will always love glass products from now on! As soon as I started using this dildo, I knew that it would be one of my favorites. I can't get enough of it and it's the first toy I reach for most of the time. I can get extremely turned on just by rubbing the glass over my clit and I have great orgasms with this dildo without having to try very hard. I don't have any problem using bigger toys (I prefer it actually) so I'm not sure how this one will feel for those of you who prefer smaller toys. Also, I really love the texture of this toy but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone sensitive to texture. I'm so glad I decided to try glass and that this was the dildo I chose! I can't wait to add to my new glass collection!
