This glass dildo is really stunning right out of the package - with the cobalt blue nubs dotting the shaft, and the scarlet blossom set in the bottom bulb, it is probably one of the prettiest sex toys you can get for the price. Like all of the Icicles products, Icicles No. 18 came in the signature white box, with custom molded foam to hold the glass dildo. While I wish they would include a satin or velvet storage pouch (those always make me feel like my toy is special,) I do appreciate the care of the packaging. When not in use, I still store this dildo in the molded foam, which helps keep my glass from damaging one another.

Like most glass toys, it has a great heft to it, and as such is a very sturdy toy. I love the overall shape of this particular piece of glass. It starts off with a tear-drop shaped head, moving onto a gentle arched shaft (perfect for getting the g-spot) and ending in double row of equal-sized spheres. There is a good amount of texture on the shaft, which I like very much to begin with, but I find really annoying after a while. This would be my favorite toy if not for the bottom two rows of nubs. So if you are particularly averse to texture on your toys, this particular piece of glass may not be the best choice for you.

Because of its size, I found that this particular toy is particularly good with temperature play - I found that it kept cold for longer than my other glass toys. Another pro for the glass is that it is very easy to clean. I like that I can just toss it into my dishwasher without a second thought.
