I've always wanted to incorporate ice cubes into the bedroom, but never wanted to numb my hands in the process by trying to hold on to those slippery little things. This is the perfect solution! When I think of ice cubes, I think of long trays in my family's freezer growing up. Those ice cubes were always painfully cold with sharp edges. The Touche Vibrating Ice Massager isn’t like that at all. The ice is perfectly smooth around the entire head, and the silicone keeps the ice from getting ultra-cold on your hands ultimately ruining the mood. It’s cold, like ice, but it isn’t painfully so. In fact, on most summer days, I would consider the temperature of the ice to be downright amazing. Forget IceCaps, I found a better way to beat the heat!

The Touche Vibrating Ice Massager is a neat little toy. It is made up of two different parts – a silicone holder (the colour top piece that houses the bullet) and the silicone tray (the piece to fill with water). The silicone holder is ribbed with lines to make it easier to grip in use, while the tray is very soft and slick to help develop the ice better. If you wish to achieve a more crystal transparent ice, use boiling water in the silicone tray. Remember this will add to the wait time before play! With normal tap water it can take anywhere from 2-4 hours to freeze depending on your freezer of course.

Using the Touche Ice Vibrating Massage toy can be interesting – even without the vibrations itself. The ice slides along the skin really nicely and leaves water trails where it has been. The bullet is removable (make sure to remove from silicone before placing in freezer) and replaceable. The bullet does take 3 watch size batteries that are included with the Ice Bullet Vibrating Ice Cube. When first received, just unscrew the base and remove the tiny plastic disc from between the charge and the battery.

Clean-up is easy for the Touche toy. It’s made from silicone, so it’s non-porous, so with boiling, you should have no problem using this with multiple partners as long as you disinfect it. However, for general use, warm water and antibacterial soap will work just fine since this won’t come in contact with many bodily fluids.

Touche has released some flavored liquids to use instead of water to make your ice cube flavored. But don't feel you cant stray. You can use juices, sodas etc. Really anything you'd like (provided it freezes) but remember with the sugar comes sticky clean ups. You can also melt chocolate and pour into the silicone tray and place in the fridge to harden. The Touche Ice is definitely in my opinion, one of the most couple-friendly toys on the market. This toy can really be as limitless as you are.

Not once has this toy disappointed my partner & I. Its something that we always have ready in our freezer just in case. The batteries still haven't needed to be replaced, even after A LOT of use ;). If boiling water is used to fill the cup, the crystal-clear ice that results is definitely worth the extra wait time. This is the perfect toy for couples, and for anyone is has ever been interested in the cool side of temperature play.

My only problem I've found, is sometimes, if it is not filled with the precise amount of water, it doesn't bond properly to the bullet housing. This is more of an aesthetic problem and doesn't interfere with play, but I'm relatively OCD about these things.
