I found this toy to be versatile in use, both vaginally and anally. Now, I'm not sure if this item is supposed to be used anally, but I couldn't help myself but to give it a well-lubed try. Not too deep of course, and it felt great there as well. Vaginally, I was able to stimulate any area of my cunt I tried, including my G-spot and it worked well for the use of Kegels too, during play.

Icicles no. 12 is a beautiful glass toy, my first impression upon seeing it was simply "Wow". This was the first glass toy I've had, and let's just say I loved it. I'm a fan of temperature play, having experimented with ice a lot in the past and this toy holds both cold and warm temperature really well. The top is very textured, but smooth around the curves which felt amazing inside. It wasn't too much texture, so I think most women would enjoy its unique shape and dimensions. As a beginner, I instantly fell in love with glass. The base is amazingly easy to hold onto even when lubed, it didn't really slip at all for me.

I love the look of this toy, from its curves to the detail work of the rose. This is one gorgeous toy and will remain out and blending in discreetly in my bedroom. The light catches it wonderfully and allows for a subtle pink shading along a good part of the stem when sitting out. The rose itself is moderately thick with several textured petals off-shooting in a beautiful deep pink hue. Curving down from this, the stem is clear with three bulbs extending down its expanse to a wide base. A side note: the box, it's very pretty and has a flip-open window in which to view the toy before opening and really gives you a sense of the quality this company puts into its products.

The texture, which may look intimidating at a glance, really isn't upon insertion. It feels amazing with the petal tips rubbing inside from the start of penetration until it's buried. This toy fit well and entrance was amazingly easy. The girth varies along the shaft, but I found this really amazing for gripping. I love flexing my muscles and this proved to feel more amazing to squeeze onto than the more standard sorts of dildos I've encountered.

This baby was able to reach parts of me I have difficulty getting to without fingers and even with a lot of toys. I felt total stimulation on all areas inside of my pussy. It felt great both thrusting into me and stationary to squeeze during clitoral stimulation.

The best part of this toy to me, personally, was the rose. The way that thing felt buried deep inside of me was great, like some sort of magical fingers pressing into multiple spots at once I didn't know existed. The toy was rigid (like all glass toys) which is something I find to be amazing, but the dimensions allowed for it to be easily maneuvered at various angles to reach optimal spots inside of me. The base fit easily into my palm and didn't become slippery, even after the use of lube and the inevitable squirting sensation I experienced later.

This toy is made of glass and thus non-porous, it's easily cleaned with water and soap or easily thrown into the dishwasher if you prefer.

Storage wise, because of its overall beauty and inconspicuous appearance, I simply chose to leave mine on my vanity, rinsing off before use for the sake of any dust that may fall.

Icicles No. 12 came in a sturdy box, displaying a picture of the toy on the front with a white background with the ICICLES logo across the top, with the sides and back in black, the toy illuminated on each side with detail focusing on the rose itself across the back. A description of this elegant toy is on the back and displays materials used, cleaning instructions and suggestions for play style. The front panel of the box swings open to display the back again on the inner flip side and a cutout which showcases the actual toy itself.

Inside of the box there is a foam container that encases the toy and can be slid through the top for removal. This box can later be used for storage of the toy if you chose to put it away.

Icicles No. 12 was one of those toys that once I started using it I just didn't want to put it down. I held off writing this review for about a week and a half simply because I was busy being enraptured in my new toy. She left me breathless many times, panting and wanting more and more. I've all but forgotten about most of my other toys and have yet to use another one since I got this bad boy. Last night, I passed out in heap after working this toy on myself until I just couldn't go anymore. Tonight I'll probably sleep like a baby in a puddle of my own juices, exhausted again.
