The Icicles No. 35 by Pipedream is best used to internally stimulate the g-spot but p-spotting is possible with it if you can handle the odd insertion sensations anally, just be sure you have a good grip on it so it doesn't get lost.

The bullet from this set makes a great pinpoint vibrator for clits, nipples, the outer part of the anus, etc. Do NOT insert the bullet, the end cap where the wire passes through is somewhat loosely attached and could easily pop off. You would then be stuck with the bullet lost inside you and may possibly have to take a trip to the ER to get it removed.

The curve of this toy makes it great for g-/p-spotting as long as you're gentle with it while thrusting or rocking. No need to go causing internal bruising or other damage.

The Icicles No. 35 may be a little much for a beginner to handle and it is not recommended as an introduction to glass toys. Size queens won't get much use out of this toy either because of its smaller size but more advanced glass users may enjoy it thoroughly.

If you take the bullet out of this toy and set it aside the glass dildo makes a great companion with some silicone lubricant for shower or bath time play. It can also be warmed up or cooled down with warm or iced water for some temperature play since the glass will hold temperature very well.

The Icicles No. 35 can be used during solo sessions or with a partner "at the controls". Just make sure you communicate the caution with glass to them and how you prefer it to be used and everything should go smoothly.

The Icicles No. 35 is made from Borosilicate glass, also know as Pyrex, which has a safety rating of 10/10 on the Eden safety scale. Glass is food-grade material, hypo-allergenic, non-porous and latex- and phthalates-free. In this case the glass is also very rigid, smooth and shiny with no odor whatsoever upon opening the package. This particular toy is a peachy-gold colored glass with some bulges and raised curvy lines to add some texture.

Glass is compatible with any kind of lubricant and a little goes a long way to make it slippery so just a few drops will do or you'll be struggling to keep a hold on the toy. Also always use caution while thrusting with glass toys to be sure you don't cause any internal damage like bruising.

The Icicles No. 35 is a 7" long, almost s-shaped glass dildo. The insertable end has a rounded head with a bulge underneath it and two very pronounced nubs on either side. Down the curved shaft are two raised, curved lines that lead down to the curled finger loop or bullet holder. The insertable length is 5 1/4", it has a circumference of 4" and a diameter of 1". This is not a very heavy piece of glass at 7.5 ounces so your hand will not get tired out while using it.

The bullet measures about 1 1/2" long and has a diameter of 1/2". It is made of hard plastic, is colored to match the dildo and lights up when in use. The plastic controller has a jack port where the bullet's 22" wire plugs in to control the vibrations. The controller has an indicator light to let you know when it's on and it will flicker with each push of the mode button.

The controller has a toggle switch on it; one side turns the bullet on/off and the other side of the button cycles through the vibration patterns when it's on. Just insert the three AAA batteries by sliding open the back of the controller. Once in place, slide it closed again and you're ready to go.

The bullet has 10 vibration patterns and they are as follows:

1. Steady - Low
2. Steady - Medium
3. Steady - High
4. Rapid Pulses
5. Three Rapid pulses, one long pulse
6. Escalating and deescalating
7. Escalating pulsation
8. Strong escalating, bursting, pulsation
9. Steady, pulsation
10. Pulsation, steady

The vibrations do not carry very well to the insertable end of the dildo, instead they are mostly felt in the curled finger/bullet hold. The bullet heats up while using, is pretty noisy and would be easily heard through blankets but maybe not through a closed door so dorm use is probably not a good idea with this one.

The controls are not lockable so the batteries should be removed before storing this away to avoid embarrassing vibrating luggage. Also, be sure to properly pad the dildo if traveling with it to make sure it doesn't break or chip in transit.

The dildo can be fully submerged so cleaning is simple there. Just wash it with warm water and antibacterial soap or toy cleaner or wipe it down with a toy and body wipe. The dildo can also be sterilized by boiling it for three minutes, putting it in the top rack of the dishwasher without detergent or by wiping it down with a 10% bleach solution. Be sure to rinse it thoroughly to avoid getting bleach in delicate body areas.

You can clean the bullet by wiping it with a toy wipe or disinfect it by wiping it down with isopropyl alcohol. Do NOT submerge the bullet to clean it, it is not waterproof and it will be ruined if it gets too wet.

There was no storage pouch included with the Icicles No. 35 so you may want to purchase something to store it in safely. Otherwise you could just use the packaging it came in if you can spare that much space.

The Icicles No. 35 came nestled in a foam cutout inside the usual Icicles box with a photo of the toy on all sides and a magnetized flap that opens to reveal a peek through window where you can easily see the toy. The bullet and controller were also nestled in the foam cutout along with the dildo but in their own separate section.

The packaging makes great storage if you have the space to store it that way but it is not discreet at all. It should be wrapped if gifting to someone and recycled when empty wherever possible.

There were no instructions, booklets or warranties in the packaging but it is a pretty self explanatory kind of toy.

As a textured glass lover I was a little disappointed when this one didn't exactly work out for me like I had hoped. I really didn't mind using the bullet separately from the dildo as a mini stimulator on my clitoris but the insertion of the dildo was probably one of the weirdest I've felt. The nubs on either side of the head are the culprits for this odd sensation but as soon as I got past them and turned it sideways so that one nub was facing up toward my mons pubis and the other was facing down toward my anal passage the gentle thrusting was more enjoyable.

I really don't like the fact that most "vibrating" glass toys I've tried really don't vibrate that much because it just doesn't travel well from the bullet. So based on using them separately and they're individual drawbacks I'd give the dildo and bullet each a 4 star rating.
