This was my first glass toy that I ever got and soon it would be one of many glass toys for me and my husband over the next few years. Glass is an excellent material for sex toys because it is phthalate and latex free, non-porous, hypoallergenic, and totally hygienic. Have I mentioned it is super easy to clean and can be sterilized? You can use soap and warm water, or your favorite sex toy cleaner.

While the measurements of this dildo may seem to be on the small side at about seven and a half inches long, with almost the entire shaft being insertable, and just over one inch in diameter, the Don Wands Glass Red Sweetheart Mushroom Tip Dildo is larger than I expected. It actually feels quite a bit larger than one would expect and the glass is so smooth and slick it requires less lubricant than dildos of other materials, such as silicone. Just a small amount of lubricant gets it slippery enough for it to easily slip and slide in and out of me.

The large mushroom head adds a nice “pop” when I am stroking in and out and gives an interesting tactile difference. First, the larger, smooth head followed by the thinner, textured shaft was so very lovely. The hearts are a dark red that stand out nicely against the clear glass. I expected the hearts to be smaller and flush to the glass, but I really like the texture of the raised glass against my skin.

The red sweetheart is made of borosilicate glass that is a generic form of Pyrex, the same glass used to make oven-safe baking dishes. This type of glass is also used to make high-quality sex toys. Borosilicate glass is very strong and almost shatter-resistant. If borosilicate glass breaks, it is far more likely to crack and break into large pieces rather than shatter.

It is very important to store your glass sex toys safely and a padded pouch is an excellent way to do so. I really appreciate that Don Wands includes this pouch in the packaging of their glass toys.

Glass is an excellent material for sex toys because it is phthalate and latex free and you can either heat up or cool down glass and it will retain the new temperature for a time. This can add some spice to your normal play. Place the Don Wands Glass Red Sweetheart Mushroom Tip Dildo in a bowl of ice water or hot water and allow it to slowly and safely reach the desired temperature.
