Icicles No. 24 - dildo discontinued by Pipedream - review by Lavendar

Icicles 24 is a whimsical glass dildo that can be used in a myriad of ways. The heavy texture makes it feel larger than it is which can be good or bad. I enjoyed using it for G-spot stimulation and gentle thrusting. The intense texture feels amazing when rubbed along the clit or erogenous zones all over the body. Icicles 24 can be great for prostate stimulation if your guy enjoys larger toys. Make sure to be careful if you decide to use this toy anally, since it only has a small handle and not a clear flared base.

Icicles 24 is Pyrex glass making it rigid and very filling. The glass material holds temperature well so a dip in warm or cool water can intensify the experience. Take care not to thrust too hard with this piece because the cervix can get bruised. Icicles 24 is best suited for more advanced glass users due to its size and heavy texture lovers. This piece is travel friendly if wrapped up carefully. The most convenient way for me to travel is to keep it in the original packaging or a padded drawstring pouch.

This dildo is made of food-grade Pyrex, or Borosilicate, glass. It has a safety rating of 10 and is hypo-allergenic, latex free, and phlathates free. Icicles 24 is rigid, non-porous, and can be used with any type of lubricant. The hard texture provides intense pressure on all those sensitive areas like the G-spot or P-spot.
Icicles 24 has a different texture on each side. There are large nubby bumps along the top and the bottom has a less pronounced almost veined leaf appearance. A deep groove runs vertically along the top side which makes the textured bits feel even more intense. It is completely odorless, tasteless, and does not retain smells.

Icicles arrived perfectly flawless. There were no scratches or seams along the smooth glass. It does not have any drag at all and stays very smooth with a tiny bit of lube. Glass can be safely used with any type of lubricant. This toy does not look realistic at all, it is whimsical and fantastical.

Icicles 24 i 6 1/4" long with an insertable length of 4 1/2". The circumference is 4 1/2" with a diameter of 1 1/2" and it weighs in at 10 ounces. It is a translucent rosy pink which adds to the whimsical and artistic design. It looks like a tentacle and has a flattened tongue-like shape with a slightly pointed end. Each side of the toy provides different types of stimulation. The top is very textured and has an upward pointing tip. This is great for pinpointing the G or P-spots. The underside has a more subtle texture and more broad stimulation. The curved handle makes it easy to hold onto and maneuver for some, however I found it difficult to move and grip.

The size does not seem too large, but the heavy texture makes this tentacle feel much larger than it is. I think this toy is more suited to advanced glass users and heavy texture lovers. I have several glass toys and this tentacle took warming up to.

The different textures all over the toy make it very versatile to use. It can be inserted in a couple of different ways, providing either pinpointed G or P-spot pressure, or more broad stimulation. I loved rubbing Icicles 24 along my body especially the clitoris and nipples. This felt even better when the toy was soaked in cold water for a few minutes. The variety in sensations is amazing with this toy.

It was difficult to insert at first because of its size. The width can be too much for some users, and I personally needed to warm up with a smaller toy. I am not that advanced in textured toys, so this was really a stretch for me. Because of the curvature and texture of this toy I found that slow motions worked better for me than thrusting. Intense thrusting would be too much for me and could feel painful because of the glass' hardness. I am glad I purchased this toy, it added some much needed variety to my glass toy collection and showed me how amazing textured dildos are.

Cleaning this toy was difficult at times. I have never had a problem with glass except for this textured piece. The center groove traps lube and secretions, so it must be cleaned immediately after use. The spaces between the nubs all over the toy will trap liquids and if they dry become difficult to clean. Other than that, glass is usually very easy to care for and can be safely shared if disinfected properly. It can be sanitized in the top row of the dishwasher, with antibacterial toy cleaner, or just hot water and soap. Glass toys can also be boiled for a few minutes. Another way to share safely is by covering the toy with a toy cover or condom before use. The toy should definitely be cleaned if you are going from anal to vaginal play. Icicles 24 can be safely used with water, silicone, or oil based lubricants.

Icicles 24 arrived safely nestled in styrofoam padding inside the signature Icicles by Pipedream box. The box is not discreet. It has a picture of the toy on it with a flap that opens up allowing you to see the glass wand itself. This box can be used for storage, but it tends to take up a lot of space if you have several of them.
