I want to start off by saying that I LOVE Pipedream toys. I have a good few and they have never let me down. They are all wonderful. The first thing I noticed when my package arrived is the packaging. The last glass toy I purchased came in a string pouch and that was it. The Icicles No. 8 came in a very graphically appealing box, complete with viewing panel. I love packaging like that because if I were in a shop looking at toys, I would be able to look at it without opening the packaging or just not knowing.

When I opened the box, the toy was laid in a foam bed that had a cut-out of the toy. This is wonderful because if the package went through rough shipping, there's no need to worry because it's safe and sound in its box!

I like this toy a lot and when using it in certain positions, can really hit the spot! This toy is slender enough to use for beginner anal play. (I'm still an anal beginner and this works great for that.) Also, this bulb at the base of the toy is great if you want to switch it up and use the larger end. It definitely feels more filling than the other end.

I love glass toys because they are insanely easy to care for. I can clean it with just some antibacterial soap and call it a day! Since it is a glass toy, it's very sturdy and firm and has no give but if you like hard toys this is a good one for you. I think this is a great toy for beginners that are new to the spectrum of glass. This toy is okay for temperature play, but remember that going from hot to cold really quickly can hinder the integrity of the toy and it could break, but that's nothing to worry about if you know how to be safely involved in temp play.

Overall, this is a great toy to use vaginally or anally. I use the bulb end sometimes to practice Kegel exercises which is a plus with this toy because it can be a 3-in-1. My only complaint is the thickness on the non-bulbous end. It's a bit too thin for me to enjoy it 100% when using it vaginally, but that's just me because I prefer toys that are closer to the girth of a real penis.
