The Icicles No. 25 is designed to be a simple, enjoyable anal plug. It can be used by men or women, and could be used as a warm up for bigger things. It could probably also be used vaginally, depending on what's comfortable for you. This plug is probably not good for beginners, but can be very enjoyable for those more experienced with anal play. It has a solid flared base and is comfortable enough when inserted for extended wear. Because it is made of glass, it can be used for temperature play by running the toy under hot or cold water before use. Just be careful not to burn yourself!

Like other Icicles toys, the Icicles No. 25 is made of solid Pyrex glass, a 10 on Eden's material safety scale. It is very smooth with no ripples or bumps, and is extremely rigid. The glass is crystal clear with no bubbles or blemishes and is hard to break, however you should still be careful with it to avoid chipping. It is non-porous and has no odor, and it does not hold on to any odors after cleaning.

The plug has a large, bulbous head and a long, thin neck connected to a round, flared base. The neck is long and thin enough to keep the plug held inside when in use, but thick and strong enough that you don't have to worry about it snapping in half. When held in the hand, the plug feels pretty heavy, but the weight is just pleasantly noticeable when inserted. Because the toy is made of glass and has no give whatsoever, it feels larger than it really is and is probably not suitable for those who are new to anal play. It is not very discreet and is very obviously an anal plug to anyone who sees it. It is small enough to carry in a purse and is easy enough to travel with.

This toy is very nice and simple to use. It only takes a little bit of lube to insert - any type of lube works. The glass is very rigid and has no give, so go slowly when inserting and stop if it starts to hurt. It might be a good idea to warm up with fingers or a smaller toy before using this plug, but once inserted, the toy has a wonderful weight and feel to it. The flared base keeps the plug from being pulled too far in, but isn't uncomfortable. It stays in place very nicely, and I've never had a problem with it popping out.

Because this toy is made of glass, it can be sterilized by boiling or washed in the dishwasher. Soap and water or toy wipes can also be used to clean it. If you plan on sharing this toy, you can sterilize it and not need to use a condom with it. It doesn't come with a storage pouch, but it can be stored in the box it comes in, or just wrapped in a sock or piece of soft cloth. I recommend using a small amount of lube when inserting this toy, and any lubricant can be used, silicone, oil, and water-based lubes are all safe to use. It is safe to store with other toys and won't react with other materials, but you should use some sort of separation when storing it with other glass toys to avoid them knocking together and chipping. The glass is strong and shatter-resistant, but still, try not to be too careless with it.
