Glass toys for beginners?

Contributor: Cowgirl-Cutie Cowgirl-Cutie 02/04/2013

I only have 1 glass dildo and I'm not a fan of it. Being on EF for a while now I've been hearing great things about Icicles. Which one of their products do you think would be best for a newbie to glass?

I'm unsure about texture to be honest so I'm not sure if some of these would be best to try.

All of them look pretty good -- but I don't really like the 16. Vibrations or glass, not both

The No. 29 one

If I had to chose between the four it would be No. 29 followed by No. 21 but I don't think any are particularly great if you're new to texture and unsure of whether or not you will like it. Glass means no give so it can be unforgiving if you are sensitive.

I really like No. 30 for mild stimulation from texture. Only the tip of the in sertable and clitoral arms have texture, the shaft is smooth.

No. 32 is going to be my next glass purchase and I am so excited about it. It doesn't have any texture on the surface in the form of ridges but the bubbles that make up the shaft will make for some killer G-spot stimulation.

Icicles is a nice line and the boxes they send the toy in make for great storage even if they are a bit bulky. Between them and SSA glass I can almost always find a nice new piece of glass.

Out of your choices here, No. 29 is your best bet because it's smooth & has a curve for the G-spot. However, since you're unsure if you like glass & unsure of texture, I'd keep the following in mind.

The pronounced head is a lot more of a difference in glass than in a softer toy. Likewise, the textures can be more overwhelming in glass than in something less rigid. And as far as vibrations, just hold a vibe to the dildo to get vibrations, but if it's a hard vibe, be prepared for some noise when it hits glass!

I suggest trying something with a little bit smaller girth than you usually accommodate & with little to no texture. I'd also try something with a curve if you know you like G-spot stimulation. Here are some others I'd recommend for starting out, (I'm sorry they're not all Icicles):

This has an easily tolerated texture: link

This one has slight ridges & is awesome when rotated once inserted! link

This is a nice size & has very comfortable waves: link

If you want a bigger, realistic glass dildo, try this: link

This has the G-spot curve, but even though it looks textured, it's not:

This has a different style with a head on each end to experiment with: link

I never thought I'd like something so hard as glass, but boy was I surprised! I hope you find a new favorite material & I'm glad you aren't giving up after trying just the one you already have. Good luck!

No. 29 is beautiful, I like the shape and the color.

I suggest you go with something that has little to no texture. Busy textures may not be best for beginners, so it's best to start light and then try other things once you know you like glass.

I'd say the 21 of these, because a toy with less texture is probably better for a beginner.
But I have the Love Journey and Sweet Lola, and I think either of these would be better.

icicles 28 looks good except it's pink

I would honestly recommend something smaller like the Emerald Explorer unless you know that glass of that size will not bother you. Glass is such an unforgiving material and for someone who's just getting used to it I would not recommend something the size of an average dildo right off the bat, because something so hard and with no give to it at all will often times feel a lot bigger than it actually is. If the texture of the Emerald Explorer looks like too much for you I would pick a simple smooth wand of some kind. The icicles toys are all fabulous but if I started off with those instead of working up to them, I don't think I would have grown to love glass as much as I do now.

If you want a great glass toy with minimal (but still some) texture, a good one for glassy texture beginners is the Icicles No. 8. Go ahead and read my review to see why!

I think 29 would work for you
