Now, granted, I have to say off the bat that I am not usually one that is too fond of glass toys. Personally, I like the more realistic toys. However, when I first received this, little did I know that this, my first glass toy, would change my mind about glass! I still prefer the realistic, but this one definitely had me at Hello!

Icicles No.1 is a glass, swirled, extremely smooth, "double ended dildo". It is 9 inches in length, with 8 3/4 inches insertable. There is a small, 1/4 inch long ball at the bottom of this glass dildo that makes it easier to hang on to. I found that no matter how much you have to hold on to though, glass is slippery no matter what! There is a very nice, spaced out swirl pattern that runs from the bottom, diagonally up to the tip of the dildo. This makes for a very nice sensation both inside and outside the vagina.

I would have to say that even though glass toys aren't my "specialty", I love the temperature play factor with these. Glass toys can retain their temperature for quite a while. I want to say that this toy was able to retain its temperature for about 25 minutes. If you hold a glass toy under hot or cold water, the toy will retain that temperature, making for a very interesting play time! If you have never experimented with temperature play, I would definitely try this. I am not one to like too much cold on my genitals, so I will use the warmer temperatures. I hold my glass toy under the water for about 5 or 10 minutes.

Because glass is non porous, this makes it super safe from any kind of bacteria forming within the toy itself. It is super easy to clean too. Simply wash with soap and water and towel or air dry! The only issue with glass toys is that you have to be careful where you store it. You don't want it to chip or break. However, I have never heard of any of these glass toys doing this in any situation. (Although, I know there is someone out there that has dropped this on a ceramic tile floor once or twice, you'd have to ask them!)

Lubricants that can be used with this toy is water, oil and silicone based. With glass toys you do not have to worry about chemical reactions with other toys or lubricants.

I would say that even though Im still not crazily in love with glass, this toy has definitely changed my mind about how I think about the glass toys. Its the perfect length and the swirls really provide a great amount of stimulation. Because it is such a smooth toy, it works very nicely during massages too and can be rubbed against the clitoris for added stimulation. It claims to be a double headed dildo, but I haven't used it as that. I use the small ball at the end for a "grip or handle". Otherwise, I think its a pretty neat toy and would recommend this to anyone.

Now that I have had my glass toy for years and have experienced many more different stimulation and adult toys, I would have to say that I'm just not feeling the glass anymore. Don't get me wrong, the toy does feel really nice, I just can't seem to climax with it. I guess my preferences have just changed. I still really love that you can change the temperature of the glass dildo. That is probably the only reason that I still use it.
