I received this toy as a gift a couple days ago and I cannot say enough positive things about it! It is easy to hold with one hand or a partner can hold and maneuver it. I have found that it is most fun to use with a partner. Think of the Icicles as solid anal beads. While you stimulate your pussy, your partner can move the toy in and out of your ass. It is best to use this as an anal toy. You do not get much sensation if you try it as a g-spot stimulator.

The Icicles line are made of Pyrex grade glass. This ensures slick, smooth, and easy insertion. The design starts small to allow you to get warmed up. The Icicles #2 are 9 beads long but only about six or seven can be inserted comfortably. Since the toy is made of glass it does not have any give or flexibility. Do not force it in further than your body can take. Keep it slick and comfortable to get the most fun and pleasure out of it.

I think the Icicles #2 are the perfect size for those who like gradual fullness and stimulation. This is not a flimsy toy where you can loose grip or not get enough fullness. It is very stiff and sturdy. The design is very appropriate for anal pleasure. I got so much out of it in that sense. Actually, my partner tried it before I got to...and it was MY gift. I would recommend keeping this toy at home and not traveling with it unless you are going to bubble wrap it. It is made of glass after all, and the top few beads could break off if handled roughly or shoved in a bag.

The Icicles #2 are not harness compatible as they clearly do not have a flared base on them. However, they are perfect for solo play or as a warm up before your partner penetrates you anally. It lets you get warmed the way you want. You control the speed and fullness. As stated before, this is NOT a flexible toy so caution should be used if you are trying to achieve maximum fullness. In case that you want this, switch toys. Consider using a large butt plug or move right into penetration.

Since glass is non-porous, cleaning and care of Icicles #2 is a snap! Warm water and mild soap are very appropriate. It is dishwasher safe but I would recommend washing it by hand, as you generally put eating utensils in the dish washer. When it comes to storage, I would recommend keeping it in something soft like bubble wrap or wrapping it in a silk or cotton cloth. I saved the box that the Icicles came in. It is a very sturdy box and came with inside packaging that conforms to the Icicle's shape already. That would be the best means of storage; save the box!

The packaging was great! It reduces the stress of possible breakage and storing it at home. It did not come with instructions but the shape of the Icicles #2 is pretty self explanatory.
