Sex toys used to be taboo, but today we find them in almost every bedroom. Dildos are among the most popular sex toys on the market, but there is still one model with a bad reputation - the big and bad glass dildo!

Pulling a glass dildo from the fridge

Most people find glass dildos scary or dangerous because glass is usually not the first material we want to use for pleasure. Some fear that they could break the dildo during the play and injure themselves or their lovers.

Being skeptical about glass sex toys is normal because we should care what we use for kinky fun. When it comes to sex toys and lubricants, we should always use what is most natural, safe, and comfortable for us and our bodies. 

But sex toys have many stigmas attached to them that have created myths and misconceptions that many still believe.

So, let’s expose myths about glass dildos once and forever: they are safe sex toys if made correctly and even have hidden attributes like is the temperature play that you can’t experience with other toys.

What is a glass dildo? 

A glass dildo is a sex toy made of special glass (usually borosilicate or sodium lime glass). They are solid and very durable sex toys, perfect for intense pleasures and stronger orgasms.

Glass dildos offer firmer penetration and stimulation and are a perfect choice for those who need strong and inflexible sex toys. 

Dildos made of glass come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and they look stunning and artistic, like jewelry, decor, or a little piece of art. 

Are glass dildos safe? 

Sex toys like the pink and purple Rabbit vibrators look cute and innocent, so people don’t think twice before buying them. But glass sex toys are the ones that make people nervous and skeptical.

Not just because of the material, but because we know that glass usually breaks into small, dangerous, and sharp pieces. And we don’t want to cut ourselves while enjoying sex toys.

This is a common concern, but many don't know that glass dildos are not created from the same delicate material as home glassware or flower vases. 

Glass dildos can be completely safe sex toys if they are made correctly and from high-quality materials. Brands use various types of glass, but the best and most safe glass sex toys are created from borosilicate glass or soda-lime glass. 

But material is not the only critical element; the quality of glass toys comes from the production process.

Many glass sex toys are manufactured without care and attention, so it doesn’t matter what material they use if the process doesn’t meet the safety and quality standards.

Excellent and safe glass toys are created of annealed glass, which means that glass was made with a cooling treatment to increase durability. 

If you are looking for a safe glass toy, we recommend toys made of annealed borosilicate or sodium glass.

How to use a glass dildo? 

Dildos made from glass can be used as any other sex toy with the extra help of lubricant and some creativity. If you have just become the owner of a glass dildo or are looking for new ways to play with your toy, check out the next steps:

  1. Always clean the toy before playing to avoid any infection. Use warm water and soap or rubbing alcohol, and you are ready to go.
  2.  It is better to use thicker lubricants with glass dildos to make them smoother and safer. They are non-porous, so they do not absorb lubricants and can be used with all types of lube.
  3. Get ready for a dildo if you play alone, or start with foreplay if you have fun with your partner.
  4. Slide your glass dildo in and enjoy the sensations. Control the pressure and speed and add more lubricant if necessary.
  5. The weight and firm texture of the glass dildo will make your masturbation or sex kinkier, so be prepared for intense stimulation and climaxes.

Creative ways of using a glass dildo

Glass dildos are known for their temperature play, as they can be heated and cooled easily. Temperature play offers a different stimulation, focused on the feeling of touch and unexplored sensations that will blow up your mind and body. 

You can try it yourself and experiment with cold or hot temperatures and discover your body sensations and reactions. Or try it together with your partner during foreplay and use a blindfold to make it spicier.

Glass dildos are designed to keep their temperature so you can explore the world of hot and cold without the time limit.

Make the glass dildo hot (warm)

If you want to heat your dildo, put it in a bowl of warm water for a couple of minutes. Hot dildos feel more natural during penetration and can also be perfect for massaging sore muscles.

Make it cold

If you want to experiment with cold temperature play, put your glass toy in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes. You can add ice cubes and make it even chillier! Cold glass dildos are ideal for intense play that will shock and shake you or your partner.

Before you try the temperature play, check out our safe tips:

  • Never put your glass dildo in a microwave or a bowl of boiling water as it may damage your toy.
  • Test your dildo before the play to avoid any injures! Try the temperature on your wrist or arm to make sure it is safe.
  • Glass dildos are designed for different temperatures, but rapid changes can destroy them. Never place a warm glass dildo in an ice-cold bowl of water and vice versa, as you can break and ruin your beautiful equipment.
  • If your toy is too hot or cold, you can wash it with room-temperature water to adjust the temperature. It can take some time, but it is better to be safe than burnt or frozen.

Tips on using a glass dildo 

  • Always clean it before and after every play session and use it with lots of your favorite lubricant.
  • Choose between different types of glass dildos - anal or G-spot models, double-ended types, big or small, straight, twisted or curved glass dildos, with a cute attachment like hearts, moons, or stars - the choice is endless!
  • If you are a new and proud glass dildo owner, take it slowly as it may take some time (and moves) to discover what works for you. Experiment with different speeds and sizes, movements, rhythms, and temperatures.
  • Glass dildos are hard and firm, which can be a disadvantage if you accidentally drop them on your foot or head while using them. Be careful, especially when they are lubed and slippery, that you don't harm yourself or the toy.
  • They are ideal for temperature play, so heat or cold them down and experiment with new sensations and pleasures.
  • Glass dildos are multipurpose tools that can be used for masturbation, foreplay, BDSM, and other kinky sessions, erotic or "normal" massages, or even as room decor!

How to clean a glass dildo?
