Icicles no. 10 is a glass dildo, meant for vaginal penetration. It is double ended, with one end thin with some little nubs at the very end and the other end the other thicker with three round ridges and a rounded point at the end. Either end can be used for penetration, although I enjoy using the thicker end more. The thin end makes a good handle. It is straight with no curve to it, and it is around 7 inches long. It is fairly slim in diameter, about an inch at the thickest part and maybe 3/4 of an inch at its narrowest. It is made from glass, so it is fully sterilizable and it can be used for temperature play as it holds both heat and cold well.

The icicles line of dildos are all made of glass. Glass is a great material for toys because it is very safe and the texture is very nice. Glass can be sterilized using boiling water, a run through the dishwasher, or bleach. If you use bleach just be sure to rinse well after cleaning. This means these toys can be shared if you would like to. Glass holds up very well and the condition of the dildo will not deteriorate over time or with use, but you need to be careful not to drop it. The glass used for sex toys is a very strong glass, but it can break if you drop it onto a hard surface. Inspect your glass toys for cracks before use to make sure it hasn't been damaged.

I love the smooth, hard feel of glass toys. They don't have any give, so be careful when thrusting with it because it is very hard and you can injure yourself if you push it into you too hard or fast. I enjoy the hardness of the glass, it really gives a nice "full" feeling because it doesn't squish at all. It is also incredibly smooth. The icicles no. 10 doesn't have much texture to it other than the ridges and the bumps on the thin end, so it feels very smooth sliding inside of you.

I really like the design of no. 10, especially on the thicker end. The ridges are distinct enough that I can feel each one sliding inside of me, and it is thick enough to feel good without the hardness of the glass making it feel too big. The end of the thick side is a little pointy, but not too pointy, and I find it works very well for stimulating my g-spot. I find the pointy end can work well for massage, as well. It is good for loosening up tight muscles in my upper arms and back.

The thinner end just isn't too great, to me. It makes a good handle for using the other side, but I don't get much out of penetration with the thin end. It is too thin and just doesn't feel like much. The only texture to that side is on the end, so for most of the length of that side it is just smooth glass. I might like that end more if the texture went further down the shaft. I do like using the textured bit of the thin end for some clitoral teasing before using the larger end for penetration.

All in all, it is a very minimalistic design for a dildo, and I think it would be a good toy for someone who has never used a glass toy before.

I'm normally not the biggest fan of dildos, but this one really stands out for me. I find it much easier to orgasm with a vibrating toy, so for me dildos are usually something I use to kind of warm up before pulling out a vibrator, but I can orgasm using this dildo alone. I think that is mostly because of the ridges, which feel amazing. The pointy end is good for finding and stimulating my g-spot as well, even if this dildo isn't a curved "g-spot dildo." It is easy to use and the thin end works very well as a handle. It isn't too big to hold comfortably.

Glass is a very easy material to take care of. You can wash it however you want after use, or you can sterilize it. I just wash it with soap and water, then dry it off before I put it away. I've used toy cleaning wipes as well when I was in a bit of a hurry. There are no batteries or electronic parts, so it is fully waterproof so no worries about submerging it. In comparison to many of my other toys, this one is a breeze to clean. Just take care to wash between the bumps on one end and the ridges on the other. Those are the two places where stuff could build up if you didn't wash it well. For storage, a cloth toy bag would work very well although you don't have to put it in something if you don't want to. Glass won't react with other materials so you don't have to worry about it touching other toys. The only real consideration to take with glass is to be careful not to drop it. If it hits a hard surface or gets dropped from a distance, it could crack, chip, or break. So I wouldn't store it on a shelf or the top of your dresser, just to be safe.

You can use any kind of lube you want with glass toys, water based or silicone.

I was very impressed with the packaging of this toy. It came in a stylish black cardboard box with a picture of the toy on a front flap that opened to reveal a plastic window so you could see the actual dildo. It says icicles no. 10 on the front and side. It isn't a discreet box, as it has the picture and describes it as a dildo, but it is classy and stylish. No pornstars or graphic pictures on the front. It would make a nice gift in the box. You could use the box for storage if you wanted to, it isn't terribly bulky and it is well made. There is a little plastic holder for the toy inside the box to keep it in place. There isn't much in the way of instructions or information on the box.
