Icicles #25



Yes,my eyes were much bigger than my ass! I saw this it was on sale, I have been playing anally for a few months and I ordered it. I got it today and was so excited. Read the dam reviews I am sitting here thinking to myself. It is so beautiful and simple. So now I have a new goal. I am going to get this thing in me!!!



Use

It is a beautiful looking piece of art. It is intended for anal use whether you are male or female. It is not intended for beginners or even people who have been playing for a couple of months. You need some time to be able to accommodate this. I am not saying that it is bad because just the insertion of part of it did actually give me some great pleasure. It can be place in hot water or in a glass of cold water for temperature play. The packaging even says to throw it in the freezer. Be sure to test your temperature on your inner wrist before insertion.



Material/Texture

The Icicles 25 is completely smooth, no textures. It is made of a sturdy somewhat heavy glass. The glass is actually borosilicate glass other wise know as Pyrex, the stuff your cookware is made from. Borosilicate glass contains boron to change the density of the glass so that it resists breakage and it to break into large pieces with out shards or splinters. This is very safe for sex toys since out bodies have give and the toy doesn’t. The way to ruin this glass is by dropping it and getting chips or scratches on the surface. The scratches can actually cause tissue damage. Be sure to inspect your glass before you use it. The glass is a food safe, hypoallergenic, non porous, latex and phthalates free material. It has an Eden safety scale rating of 10.

Size/Shape

The Icicles 25 has a total length of 3 ¾ inches long. The bulb head has a length of 2 ½ inches and the neck is 1 inch. The largest diameter is 1.5 inches. (Really, I didn’t read before purchasing). It has a rounded small base to prevent it from being sucked in. It looks like a spade in reality, the ones on the cards, not the ones you dig with.






Care/Maintenance

You can use any type of lube with glass ranging from your oils, water based, hybrid or latex. I used a very large amount of sassy anal lube when my attempts were made. You can sterilize glass by boiling it, placing it in your dishwasher, or cleaning it with a 10% bleach solution. You can clean it with your antibacterial soap and water, toy sprays, Eden wipes or what ever you use. If using chemicals be sure to rinse it before you use it. Be careful when you are cleaning it so you don’t drop it in the bathroom sink when it is all slicked up with soap. I plan on storing my 25 in a padded pouch that I am having made and in my special drawer for my glass pieces. You can store it in the great package it comes in.



Packaging

The Icicles 25 comes in a very contemporary looking elegant box with pictures of the toy on it and a magnetized flap type opening on the box displaying the toy and information about cleaning it and temperature play. The toy itself is encased in a soft foam to prevent it from any damage. Pipedreams does a great job at packaging and keeping the toy safe.


I would say that you could travel with this piece but I prefer to keep my glass at home so that it doesn't get damaged in any way.

I did try and I was fully "prepped", It was a hot evening with my husband and myself. He performed all of his duties for this task without fail and when he tried to insert it I did have some moments of pure pleasure but I was not able to have it fully inserted. The whole experience was not bad by any means and the sensations from just working with it were awesome. My goal is get myself a little more experience and continue on with my goal of wearing this plug!! You can read about it in my follow up!!

Success, I have been able to use this one. It is not my favorite though. I prefer smaller glass and larger silicone that is more flexible. Remember that glass has no give to it and this one is more uncomfortable. I do like the smaller glass didlo's though.
