How to use a glass dildo, cold and warm: Lube, temp play and cleaning tips

I am the proud owner of a collection of dildos including a veiny lifelike one, a glow-in-the-dark bad boy with a suction cup, and a beautifully crafted glass dildo.

My glass toy is up there amongst my favorite sex gizmos.

It’s strong, easy to clean, and hypoallergenic, but more importantly, it provides me with oodles of orgasms.

Introduction to glass dildos

If you're wondering how to use a glass dildo, I like to warm or cool mine some temperature play before applying a generous amount of lube and letting its smooth, firm surface glide effortlessly for intense sensations.

In the next chapters, I'll share more tips and tricks on how to use a glass dildo to have great pleasurable time.

The glass dildo is a versatile beast too. It’s perfect for vaginal stimulation, but the fun doesn’t end there.

I like to use mine to pleasure my butt hole too.

As well as being used for normal thrusting fun, glass dildos can also be heated and cooled - perfect for temperature play and enhancing sexual sensations.

How to use a glass dildo COLD

I remember trying a cold dildo for the first-time last summer.

The sun was high in the sky and the heat of the afternoon was searing. I was halfway through an erotic novel and feeling hot and bothered in more ways than one. I really needed sex, but the thought of getting even more sweaty didn’t appeal.

I recalled a friend talking about her glass dildo, and how she sometimes liked to chill it before masturbating and decided to give it a go.

There are a few ways to cool your dildo, you can switch on your tap and run your toy under the cold water or you can submerge your dildo in a bowl of cold water.

Alternatively, you can stick your lovely toy in the fridge (or even freezer, however, careful with that, always test the dildo on your non-sensitive skin, like arm skin).

How to use a glass dildo WARM

Brrrr… I’m feeling a little chilly after all that talk of taking a cooled dildo in my pussy.

Let’s warm things up a bit, shall we?

Following on from my adventures with a cold dildo I had a go at playing with a warm one.

You can use water to heat your dildo, in a similar way to the cooling method.

So, you can run your toy under the hot tap or submerge it in warm water. If you have a microwave oven you can use that instead, just place your dildo inside and hit the power button (again, careful, test first).

Why choose a glass dildo?

Glass dildos come in a wide range of styles, shapes, and designs, and are a great addition to your sex toy chest.

Try out a double-ended glass dildo, or a slimline G-spot dildo.

If texture is your thing how about a beaded glass dildo or one decorated with glass spirals?

There’s a common misconception that glass dildos are too weak to endure play, and I can understand why people think that, after all, glass has a reputation for being fragile. what if the dildo shatters into a million shards as you ram it into your hole?

A visit to the Emergency Room should never be on your bedroom bucket list.

Thankfully, glass dildos are made from toughened tempered glass, which is sturdy, solid, and manufactured to withstand pressure.

As well as being robust, glass dildos are also non-porous. Non-porous materials are your go-to for sex toys. As the name suggests non-porous gizmos have no pores, which means there are no teeny tiny holes or openings.

You don’t have to worry about lube or cum collecting in the holes, causing a build-up of bacteria, so there’s no fear that you’ll be riding a germ-ridden dildo.

For me hygiene is essential, I don’t want a sex toy that can’t be cleaned properly.

Masturbation should be fun, not a game of roulette as to whether you pick up a nasty infection, especially in your vag of all places.

So, it’s non-porous for me every time.

The nature of the sleek material ensures smooth and easy insertion and removal, but you can still use lube to make things even more effortless and ramp up the pleasure level.

If you’re new to glass dildos go for a smooth one to begin with (save the beaded or textured designs for later).

The first time I used mine I took it slow. I was playing solo, but you can enjoy dildo fun when you’re with your partner too.

With lube, I found using the dildo straightforward, but obviously, if you’re uncomfortable or feel any pain it’s best to stop and readjust before you get back to it.

I also want to give a shout-out to how easy it is to clean my dildo.

I’ve mentioned that glass dildos are non-porous, which is a big bonus. I don’t use fancy-nancy cleaners, just simple soap and warm water gets the job done nicely (I should point out that you should avoid boiling water as this can damage your toy).
