Glass Dildos

For beginners and those who have never used a glass dildo before, my guess is, you are somewhat reserved as to the practicability of indulging in the use of a glass dildo. Not to worry, some of us once felt like that. I still remember my reaction the first time I saw a glass dildo; I had many questions that required answers and needed them as fast as possible.

I mean, is it safe for use? What are the chances of it breaking while in use? does it feel great in use? Can it be used anally? Then, I decided to run a quick search on these aesthetically satisfying toys; I was shocked. Not only are these dildos beautiful to look at, but they are also simple and very safe to use for vaginal or anal stimulation.

What Is a Glass Dildo?

Glass dildos are phallic-shaped toys made from glass but not the type of glass your window manufacturer uses in making their products. Glass dildos are made from borosilicate glass (the kind that doesn’t shatter when it falls from your hand).

They are designed in various colors, textures, and sizes. Glass toys don’t have the type of bend that a silicone dildo has, but they do offer a sensation of firmness and rigidity used either vaginally or anally, depending on what you want.

They are also very useful for temperature play (i.e., using warm or cold sensations during vaginal or anal stimulation to heighten pleasure). This means you can heat your dildo to any degree you consider safe before inserting during play, or you can leave it in a freezer to cool for as long as you like before use.

One of the many benefits of a glass dildo is that it is entirely resistant to mold, mildew, bacteria, insects, germs, and any other kind of potential nasty which might like to make their home somewhere warm and wet. Glass dildos are hypoallergenic, so they’re great if you have allergies or sensitivities.

They’re also non-porous, easy to clean, temperature-responsive, and compatible with all types of lube. The non-porous feature of a glass dildo guarantees you a long-term use of the toy. The absence of pores or holes of any kind on the dildo (unlike other dildo materials) means lube, sweat, saliva, semen, or female ejaculate fluid cannot be stored in your toy.

Unlike other dildo materials that might require that the toy be given an extremely thorough cleaning followed by sterilization after use, a glass dildo needs to be washed with water and soap, and you are set for the next pleasure ride. In essence, if you are like me, who (gets tired after every pleasure trip) sees cleaning your toy immediately after use as a herculean task, a glass dildo is for you.

How to Use a Glass Dildo

Using a glass dildo for vaginal or anal penetration would be one of the best choices you would have made to improve your sex life. However, using a glass dildo to attain climax comes with proper use of the toy.

A misuse might not only have you frustrated sexually, but you could also lose your toy. You should also know that you can decide to use your glass toy for temperature play. Below are ways to efficiently use your glass dildo to attain climax:

1. Clean your toy: I know you feel your toy is new and there might be no need for cleaning, however, you still need to clean. Cleaning it takes away any dirt or dust particles that would have stuck to the toy during the packaging. You don’t want to be inserting dust particles into your vagina or anus.
2. Position: you should pick a position that is comfortable for you. As usual, lying down is one of the best positions to use a glass dildo. However, if you want to use a glass dildo while standing, have a firm grip on it. Otherwise, the toy could slip from your hand and sustain a scratch when it falls thereby rendering it useless or unsafe for use.
3. Lubricant: the smooth texture of the Dildo makes it very easy to insert either vaginally or anally. A pro tip, add a lubricant to the shaft before inserting… it feels heavenly.
4. Temperature play: you can incorporate temperature play into heightening the sensation from climax by either cooling or heating the dildo. To heat the toy, you can insert it in warm water. Heating the toy is subject to the degree of heat you can take. But, I would advise sticking to a degree of heat you can condone to avoid feeling queasy during sexual play. To try the cold method, leaving it in a freezer or ice bucket for a few minutes before use should do the trick.
5. Clean your toy: after use, clean your toy. Cleaning a glass dildo is so stress-free, rinsing under a running tap with little soap or leaving it in a dishwasher would do the trick.

What Does a Glass Dildo Feel Like?

In comparison with dildos made from silicone, glass dildos are hard and inflexible. Therefore, the texture is smoother than other dildo materials, making it more suited for thrusting during sexual play or masturbation. The denseness of the dildo comes with a feeling of rigidness during use.

Glass Dildo Types

Glass dildos come in numerous shapes and sizes. Here’s a list of a few kinds of dildos that you can purchase for use. Some of them are;

Twisted Glass Dildos

The shape of this toy makes it an exclusive one for experienced owners only (that is not to say a beginner can’t use it; however, a beginner might not be able to handle this toy effectively and this can be quite frustrating when using sex toys).

The glass dildo with a twist is a “6-inch glass dildo with a “unique twist design, designed to be screwed into your body”. For a dildo beginner still trying to figure things out, a glass dildo with a twist might be a little too much. Consider trying out other dildos like curved dildo, small dildo, realistic dildo, and its likes.

Spectral Glass Dildos

The design of the spectral dildo makes it fit for display in a museum. the curved shape of the dildo makes it a perfect fit for stimulating the female G-spot.

Ribbed Glass Dildos

As the name implies, this glass dildo has it’s a raised pattern on it. It features two sides with a tapered head on one end and a bulbous head on the other. Therefore giving you an option of using either side of the dildo. The ribbed part of the dildo creates a wonderful and thrilling sensation while rubbing against the vaginal wall during thrusting.

Beaded Glass Dildos

This kind of dildo is efficient for either vaginal or anal play. The bulbous end of the dildo gives the user control over how deep they had like the dildo to go. So, you don’t have to worry about it slipping in and earning yourself a trip to the A&E during sexual play.

Large Glass Dildos

A large glass dildo has some unique and useful features that make it a great option for you to choose from. You can use either end for intense and mind-blowing stimulation, it’s submersible so you can take it for some ‘quiet’ time in the shower.

It’s anal safe which means it’s the perfect model to go both ways. Versatile, ideal for temperature, and perfect for reaching G-spot orgasms. It has realistic balls for a lifelike look and clitoral pleasure, and it’s compatible with all lubricants.

Curved Glass Dildos

this type of glass dildo offers maximum pleasure during sexual play or masturbation. Its curved shaft mixed with the characteristics of a glass dildo makes it an ultimate sex toy. The hard, cold feel of the dildo rubbing against the G-spot has the propensity to bring you to a climax faster than you anticipated. I would recommend buying one if you are open to the idea of climaxing multiple times during sexual play.

Realistic Glass Dildo

This dildo combines the real penis shape and veiny shaft present on a realistic silicone dildo with the awesome qualities of a glass dildo. If you love the realistic silicone dildo and would like to try any kind of glass dildo, I would personally recommend this.

Glass Dildo Precautions

Owning a glass dildo should be a must for everyone; however, I must advise caution when it comes to owning one. As it is with every other sex toy, handling it with utmost care is vital to its longevity. Ensure that you inspect it regularly for scratches before use to avoid any mishap with use.
