The Icicles no. 29 comes packaged in a very nice box, with a magnetic 'door' that, when opened, shows the dildo inside the box. When you open the box, the dildo itself is packaged in styrofoam.

This is a very pretty dildo. It has blue ridges running around clear glass with a larger base. The ridges are well-defined without being so large as to be intrusive during use. The head and the base don't have any ridges on them.

As with any glass toy, you can heat this one up in a microwave or put it in the freezer for a few minutes, depending on what your taste may be. Personally, I hate ice and cold anywhere near my parts, so I did not try this! I much prefer warm toys, but I did not try putting it in a microwave. This seems chancy to me, because it seems like it would be way too easy to over heat it and burn yourself. I prefer to just warm the glass up using my hands. If you do use the microwave, please be careful!

You can use pretty much any type of lube with a glass toy. I use a water-based lube, Astroglide. It worked really well for me and didn't take much at all to make it nice and slippery.

This dildo is sort of a medium sized one, and I didn't really insert it all the way. That would have just been too much for me. I just used it in the regular old way, and it was nice. Glass is very rigid, of course, so I personally wouldn't recommend any really hard thrusting, but again, that is probably personal preference. It also felt really nice just being used to stimulate my clit. All in all, it did exactly what it was supposed to do!

I can't really speak to this dildo's ability to hit a person's g-spot. I am not really familiar with my g-spot so I just can't say whether or not this dildo is good for that or not.

Clean-up is always a breeze with a glass toy. You can just run it under warm water and use detergent or soap, and it can also go into a dishwasher. I will be storing this toy in the box it came in to keep it safe.
