The thing you need to do is be careful in storage and periodically inspect the toy. If it gets scratched then force is concentrated on that line and it will be more likely to snap.

That said, it's unlikely that you'll have a problem unless you're very careless about storage. Glass is tough.

I can't get My Man to agree to a glass toy. His reason it, "What if it breaks inside you?" He is really afraid this will happen, although I've told him people use them all the time.

Maybe his concern really is warranted.

I wasn't aware that there was non-borosilicate Pyrex. Thanks for the info, ScottA!

Honestly I think breaking a well made glass toy takes substantial effort and would be near impossible during sex play.

We have 6 or 8 very robust glass toys and my wife just absolutely loves them - especially in the summer. You don't need ice to make them feel cool for temperature play. The normal difference between room and body temperature is enough to get that 'cool kick' - which dissipates as it warms to body temperature. In the winter I'll just lay it on a heating blanket for a few minutes to get rid of the chill.

In my opinion your missing out on a lot of fun out of the fear of a minute chance of a failure.

I agree and tend to think those that do break are simply flawed. No one in the world can create products without the occasional "bad" one. It's a fact of manufacturing.

I've never heard of one breaking during use, either. Most times, you hear someone dropped it or it broke while cleaning or in storage.

I've tried to break some of mine by bending them with my hands or over a knee, like you snap a stick and have never managed to get them to even flex, much less break. If someone has a vagina stronger than my hands and can break one with it... I'll pay for the video! Lol

If you can break a glass toy with your private areas, I'm genuinely afraid for anyone that has sex with you.

Seriously, people... if a glass toy is going to break it will be because you dropped it while cleaning it and it fell in the sink. You will break your pelvis before you manage to break a glass toy inside of you.

While there are cheaper glasses, ask yourself how often your mugs have spontaneously broken while you were drinking from them. Of course they haven't, they break when you drop them or other unrealistic uses or storage. It's the same deal with glass dildos.

I have literally only ever heard of one or two glass dildos breaking and they have always been from things like "and I dropped it in the sink"... and I've heard many more "and it didn't break, I was amazed."

YOUR BITS ARE SAFE. You will not chip your glass dildo inside of yourself and if you run your hand over it prior to inserting it to check, you can be sure there are no accidental storage mishaps waiting to slice up your insides.

I love glass...i think to always inspect and store in cushioned bags.
