The first thing everyone thinks of when we bring up glass sex toys – “Oh no, they seem dangerous, I don’t want them to break.” But with proper use, that won’t happen! Glass sex toys have so many amazing benefits over regular toys, we can’t wait to share them with you.
As an overview, glass toys are available as dildos and butt plugs. This is your reminder that the only anal safe toys are the ones with a wide base, as others may be sucked up and get lost.
1. They are stronger than you think
Yes, glass is known to be fragile. However, these toys are made specifically using borosilicate glass, which is significantly stronger than a regular drinking glass. It won’t crack when under pressure, and yes, we’ve even dropped ours a few times, and so far nothing has happened.
But it’s still important to check your toy before use! Hold it up to a light to see any cracks that might’ve formed and run your fingers over the surface for any irregularities. Store your toy in a soft case or bag.
2. Turn up the heat or bring it down cold
Borosilicate glass is amazing at mirroring the temperature of its surroundings. If you enjoy a warming presence, just run some warm water over the toy before use. If being cool is more your vibe, do the same with cold water and feel it cool down in your hands. Run it over your body, tease the nipples, or just put it straight in and feel the shivers as your body welcomes this chilly new friend.
3. Can’t get cleaner than that
Glass is a non-porous material. This means it’s super easy to keep clean, as all you need is some warm water and soap to wipe it down. If you feel the need to sanitize it completely, simply boil your toy in water for ~10 minutes. No electronics, no worries.
Glass is also hypoallergenic, making it perfect for those with latex, silicone, or other allergies.
4. Your favorite lubes, ready to go
You really want to try anal, and the internet says to use silicone or oil-based lubricants because they last longer, but your favorite toy is silicone, and the internet also says you’re not supposed to mix those, and why is this so complicated?! We get it. But here’s the good news – you can use any lubricant with glass anal toys, whether they’re based on silicone, water, oil, or something else entirely (as long as it’s body safe)! Maybe even a drop of Secret Play Clit Pwr to add some fun?
5. Pair them up with a bullet vibe
Good things come in pairs. Enhance your experience with a fluttery bullet, like this Je Joue Amour Bullet Vibe. It’s also a great way to train your body’s G-spot sensitivity – use them together, letting the glass dildo pleasure your G-spot while the bullet handles your clitoris, and as you’re nearing that sweet orgasm, lift the bullet away from your clit. While not guaranteed, the more often you do this, the more your body learns to piece those two stimulations together, and your chances of achieving a G-spot orgasm grow. It doesn’t work for everyone, but you’ll still get immense pleasure from it nonetheless!
If getting G-point pleasure is your main goal, prefer the curved glass dildos – they make it easier to target your G-spot and stimulate it directly. Amber and Kalii are both amazing, with Amber being a bit thinner.
6. It really does feel different to other toys
It’s hard to describe using a glass toy if you haven’t used them before. They aren’t as soft as silicone toys, but glide along more easily thanks to their hard build. They also sometimes have more weight to them, and in the case of buttplugs, some people have mentioned having a fuller feeling when using them.
All in all, glass toys are truly something special. And there’s only one way to find out what they feel like 😉
