The Icicles no 12 by Pipedream is a gorgeous hand blown glass dildo. She is a bigger toy, and with her bulges is best suited for G-spot, vaginal stimulation. You can use her anywhere - in the tub, on a bed, with your roommates home or all alone. She could be used anally because of her flared base, but she is big and has some design aspects that make me want to steer clear of that usage.

She is discreet in design; just by looking at her you'd have no idea that Miss Rose was a sex toy. This makes her travel friendly despite not coming with a travel pouch.

The toy is best suited for those that are more experienced in glass toys or sex toys in general. She's not the biggest toy out there, but she is big, and since glass has no give a beginner user might be more prone to injury from inexperience.

I personally love my Rose, and she worked amazingly well for me. If you take the time and the proper precautions she can work amazingly well for you too.

Miss Rose, like all pipedream toys, is made of Borosilicate glass, which is the same as Pyrex. It's the same type of glass that you may have used while baking or playing around in chemistry lab. The glass is smooth, naturally cool, extremely hard and allows for no give what-so-ever. It is completely body safe/hypoallergenic and is compatible with all lubricant types as it is non porous as well. Because this is a bigger toy and the design is the way it is, I would NOT recommend this to beginner users or those new to glass toys.

The Icicles no. 12 is an absolutely beautiful toy; I almost feel bad about using her for my masturbatory pleasures! Miss Rose, as I like to call her, is just that - a hand blown glass rose. This toy is more deserving a place in a curio cabinet than in a box under my bed. In fact, if it wasn't for the box saying 'premium hand blown glass massager', no one would ever know you were housing a sex toy. She stands at nearly 8 inches tall, with a clear shaft of varying widths and a flared base. The top two inches of the toy is the pink rose, which is designed to look like a rose just before it blooms, with the petals all folded up but bulging out as they're getting ready to separate. The tip of the rosebud has detail work on it, with dips and raised edges mimicking the tips of the rose petals.

The diameter listed on the product page is a little bit off. Mine actually measured in at 2 inches at the widest part of the rose bulge. As I said before, this is a fairly large toy. All the measurements listed on the page are going to be slightly off since it is hand blown, but in regards to the diameter I have to wonder if they took an average of all the bulges since the shaft is bulged as well.

The toy is very discreet. If you take it out of the packaging and set it out no one would know that it's a dildo; and, it'd make a great gift for anyone that collects glass figurines! It's also travel friendly if you have a spare pouch that will fit it. Alternatively, if you don't mind toting the box around, it affords extra protection.

Because of the size and the ridges at the tip, I really would not recommend this toy to beginner users or those new to glass. I can't stress that part enough. Glass is a toy material type that has a little bit of a learning curve, you really have to watch how hard and fast you thrust with it and if you use a lubricant you need to exert more caution. It is extremely easy to bruise yourself internally and the only design flaw with Miss Rose is the ridges at the tip. They can easily scratch or bruise internally if you don't take your time to go slow and find the right speed and angle for her to send you into waves of pleasure.

Almost everything about this toy is absolutely amazing and wonderful.

Almost.

She worked my G-spot in such a way that the pleasure waves just built up with each thrust. I have some toys that are an outright onslaught of pressure to my sweet spot and don't really allow for me to completely take in the ride to the orgasm. Despite her size, she doesn't work like that. She fills me up and applies just enough pressure and stimulation that I don't need quick, fast thrusts with her. I can go slow, take my time, and still achieve an amazing orgasm with her.

My only gripe about the toy is the ridges made to look like petal tips. I've read a few complaints about them, and I was worried when I received mine. They can scrape uncomfortably internally. I can DEFINITELY feel them if I thrust too hard/too deep; it's like someone just punched my cervix. While I appreciate them in the overall beauty of the toy, their functionality, for lack of a better word, sucks.

Overall though, the toy is absolutely amazing and I love her to pieces.

Miss Rose is an extremely low-maintenance toy. You can clean her just about any way you want. You can use antibacterial/antimicrobial soap and water, your favorite toy cleaner, a 10% bleach solution, place it in the top rack of the dishwasher or you can boil it. Any and all lubricants will work with Miss Rose regardless of its base product. Be careful not to use too much as the toy becomes slippery very easily.

To keep her safe, you can either purchase a padded pouch or put her back in the styrofoam cradle and back inside her box. There's no special storage precautions - glass is safe to store next to all types of toys.
You should be careful not to drop the toy or bang it against hard surfaces. You should always check the toy for nicks, chips and cracks before use and never use a glass toy that shows these signs.

Miss Rose is packaged in what seems to be the typical Pipedream Icicles packaging. It is an entirely non-discreet package. The box has an image of the glass toy proudly displayed and care/use instructions printed on the back; if it didn't say 'hand blown glass massager' on the front, it wouldn't be so obvious that Miss Rose is intended as a sex toy and not a glass piece for proud display. The box has a flap on the front that stays shut magnetically but when you pull the flap open, made easy by a tiny piece of white ribbon, you can see her through the transparent viewing window. Open either end of the box and pull out the styrofoam cradle. From there Miss Rose is easily removed. Since she didn't come with a storage pouch, I keep her in the box that is easily slid under most beds or laid down in a drawer. The packaging helps keep your toy safe and clean between uses.

Miss Rose is amazing. She was a Valentine's Day gift, but even if she wasn't I'd still buy her in a heartbeat. She's never failed in bringing me to amazing highs in my playtime, but she's a toy I don't go to for quickies. I need to use another toy to warm up with first, and even then I still need some lube to help her go in. Maybe i'm just on the small side, but she is the biggest insertable toy that i own and despite a couple awkward false starts she's a go to for when I want to feel completely full and end my playtimes utterly satisfied and shaking.
