You never forget your first. And by your first we, of course, mean the first time you laid eyes on the unique beauty that is a glass dildo. They look like such works of art that you almost won’t want to slide one into your pussy or asshole… Wait a minute, we said almost.
Interested? Intrigued? A little scared? Good, you’ve come to the right place.
Wait a minute… what is a glass dildo?
Well, at the risk of sounding basic, a glass dildo is… a dildo made of glass. But not just the ordinary glass that you’d find in your kitchen, but one made of solid, shatterproof glass similar to Pyrex.
As you’d imagine, there are a fair few misconceptions out there about glass dildos, and we get asked a lot of questions regularly. Mostly, will it hurt? And can it break? And the answer is, as long as you use them safely and buy from a reputable retailer, a resounding no.
Why choose a glass dildo
There are so many different types of dildos out there, and choosing the right dildo for you can be as easy or as complex as you’d like. If your interest has been piqued by the incomparable beauty of a glass dildo, then one thing’s for certain; you’ll be in for pleasure like never before.
Here’s a few reasons why you should dabble in delectable glass:
Cleanliness
Certainly not a topic to be scoffed at; safety and hygiene should be a top priority when choosing any kind of sex toy. Glass is non-porous, it’s body-safe, washable and temperature resistant. It’s also incredibly easy to clean and won’t harbour harmful bacteria or germs in its nooks and crannies.
Cleaning a dildo is something that should always be done properly, and with glass it won’t take up much of your time. It can be washed in hot water, and can even be put on the top rack of your dishwasher. For ultimate cleanliness, boil in water after cleaning with a gentle soap and warm water.
Glass dildos are also lube-friendly, and can be used with any kind of lubricant. Unlike some other materials, you can have a smooth ride without having to worry about staining or damaging your toy.
Pleasure
Let’s get to the reason why you’re really here. Glass dildos can deliver levels of pleasure that you’ve never experienced before. They are weighted in all the right places, and significantly heavier than other sex toys, which increases the pressure they put on your sweet spots, whether that’s your C-spot, G-spot or P-spot.
Temperature play
If you’ve never partaken in temperature play then boy, oh boy, are you in for a treat! We’ll talk more about this later in the blog post, but it should definitely be raised as one of the main reasons why you need a glass dildo in your toy chest.
They look stunning
There’s simply no denying that glass dildos are absolutely gorgeous. Rather than something you slip inside your pussy or ass, they look like handcrafted crystal sculptures, with swirling colours and bumps and ridges that look amazing, but also serve a very pleasurable purpose.
How to choose your glass dildo
By now you’re probably fully convinced and on-board with the idea of riding something made of glass. Welcome, we promise you’ll love it. So now we’re going to tell you a few factors to consider when it comes to choosing your new and smooth best friend:
- Texture - do you prefer a smooth or bumpy ride?
- Narrow or wide - what’s your girth?
- Short or long - be honest, how big can you go?
- Vibrating?
- Realistic size and shape or complete fantasy
No two glass dildos are made the same way; there’s a whole plethora of shapes, sizes, colours, bends and girths out there. So have a think about what gets your rocks off, and go from there.
Let’s talk about temperature play
Temperature play is a type of sensation play which, as you may have guessed by the name, involves using different sensations on the body to evoke feelings of pleasure. And sometimes a little pain; the line between is very thin, remember.
Glass dildos - and indeed metal dildos - are the ideal toy for temperature play, because they retain different temperatures so well and for so long. Glass takes a long time to absorb temperature but it is very much worth the wait. Whether you’re heating up or cooling down, water is your best friend. Allow us to explain.
How to heat up a glass dildo
Get yourself a bowl of warm (not hot) water, and place your toy inside for five minutes so the heat can transfer to the toy. Glass will stay warmer for longer than metal, so once it reaches its desired temperature, it’s time to play.
How to cool down a glass dildo
Do the opposite of the above; place your dildo in a bowl of cold water for five minutes. If you really want to take the plunge, add a few ice cubes. Once you insert, the glass will slowly adjust to your body temperature but it will feel otherworldly in the meantime.
How to clean your glass dildo
As we mentioned before, one of the reasons glass is so terrific is because it is so easy to clean. All you’ll need is warm water and gentle soap, which needs to be fragrance-free, mild and free of any harsh chemicals - no one wants an itchy hole after play time. If you don’t want to roll up your sleeves and scrub - or if you’re a bit of a neat freak and want to wash twice - you can boil your glass dildo and sterilise by submerging in scalding water for a few minutes.
