Icicles No. 11

The Icicles no. 11 is the first glass dildo I’ve gotten in a while. I had almost forgotten the joys of glass sex toys!  But I can tell you there are many, one being how pretty they are to look at.  The aesthetic value of glass dildos is difficult to match with other materials, though wood and metal have their own beauty.  Glass is shiny and reflects light in such delicate ways that it only enhances itself.  And it is a non-porous body safe material too.  But enough about how it looks, lets talk about how it feels.

As you can see, I dove right in to the textured end of the glass pool.  I wanted something that presented more than just a hard material. The Icicles no. 11 does that doubly well. It is a double ended dildo, either side can be used for insertion. One end has a round bumpy head that reminds me of a medieval weapon, only less pointy.  Below that is a smooth bulge which is nice after either of the textured ends.  And the other end?  It looks like a honey dipper with a smooth ball on top.  So clearly, no lack of texture on this dildo.

The total length of this dildo is just over 6 inches, though many sites have it listed as just over 7.  The diameter is 1 inch at the widest points (the honey dipper shaped portion and the smooth swell in the center) which is plenty wide for me with this much texture.  I like texture, but I don’t want to be overwhelmed.  That’s what makes this a great dildo, the mix of smooth and texture.

A little about glass in general, other than it being hard and non-porous.  Glass retains temperatures, not as well as metal but it does retain warmth and cool.  To alter the temperature of your glass, the best method is to hold it under warm or cold tap water to let it acclimate.  You can also put it in the freezer briefly or warm it in the microwave.  I prefer to stick with water, as it reaches the desired level for me easily, but this is Pyrex glass, so it is safe for use in the microwave.  You should test the warmth of the toy before putting it near your vag, nothing could be more of a turn off than a burned vag.  Also, always check your glass toys for nicks or scratches before use.  It is unlikely that your toy will break, but if it does it won’t be into a million tiny pieces.  Pyrex is designed to break into large chunks and is very durable, so it takes quite a bit of force to do even that.  Your vaginal muscles, no matter how many kegels you do, will not be strong enough to break this, so no worries.

As far as my preferences go, I like to use my glass toys cold.  I love the sensation it gives and the nice thing about glass is that it warms up slower than metal, so I can enjoy that longer.  Now lets talk about the different ends.  I tried both ends for external and internal use.  They each seem to have their own purpose, in my opinion.  The spiky ball end feels amazing on the clit.  It makes me think of a tongue with giant taste buds rubbing against me.  This end can be used fore insertion, but I’m not a fan of the feel of the nubs as I slide it in or once it is inside.  When I do use it, I easily slide down to the smooth swell which feels nice after the texture and also stretches for a fuller feel.  The other end is my favorite for insertion.  Those ridges feel amazing sliding in and out and that ball on the end is great for rubbing against the g-spot.  Externally, the smooth ball also feels great on the clit as do the ridges.  The ridged end is definitely my favorite of the two.

Glass is compatible with any type of lubricant, so you can use whatever you prefer.  I use water-based because I usually have multiple toys involved in my play and some are silicone.  Only a small amount of lube is necessary for this material, as it doesn’t absorb it.  To clean the Icicles no. 11 you can use water and anti-bacterial soap or a toy cleaner.

Want a new toy with lots of texture and fun temperature play? Give the Icicles no. 11 a chance. If texture isn’t your thing but a glass toy sounds fun, try one of the other Icicles available from FunWares!  Thank you to FunWares for providing the Icicles no. 11 for review!
