Glass Dildos

What are glass dildos?

A glass dildo is a solid, non-porous dildo made from thick, polished glass. It is completely rigid, noticeably heavier than a silicone toy of the same size and perfectly smooth, so it glides with very little lubricant and holds whatever temperature you give it. That rigidity makes glass a favourite for G-spot and prostate pressure, and the fact that it does not absorb lubricant or odors makes it one of the simplest materials to keep clean. Shapes range from plain and realistic to playful fruit and animal designs.

Types of glass dildos

Double-ended glass dildos

Glas double-sided and Girthy double-ended dildos, the Secret Kisses handblown double, Prisms Blu dual-ended, the WhipSmart dual-ended beaded dildo and Satisfyer's Double Crystal give two different shapes in one piece.

G-spot and curved glass

The Glas Girthy Ribbed G-spot dildo, the Glass Menagerie Butterfly, the WhipSmart Bulbous dildo with curved base and the Prisms Bleu dual-end G-spot design have a curve or angled head for firm, targeted pressure on the front vaginal wall or the prostate.

Textured and beaded glass

Icicles beaded and textured dildos, the Glas dildo with veins and flat base and the Prisms Soma twisted dildo add ribs, bumps, swirls or a string of bulbs you can feel on every stroke.

Novelty and fantasy shapes

Glass Menagerie's Kitty, Puppy, Rabbit, Teddy and Unicorn dildos, Glas's mushroom, eggplant, cucumber, banana and candy cane designs and the Creature Cocks Dragon and Twilight Rainbow dildos are as much ornament as toy.

Vibrating and realistic glass

Prisms Vibra-Glass dildos pair a glass shaft with a rechargeable silicone vibrating end, the WhipSmart Lifelike dildo and Pleasure Crystals dildos add glass balls or a silicone base for a realistic silhouette, and the Glas Rideable standing dildo has a weighted stability base for hands-free use.

How to choose a glass dildo

Think about what you want the shape to do and how you will hold it, since glass is slippery once lubricated.

• Shape: A bulbed or curved head for G-spot and prostate pressure; a straight textured shaft for sensation along the full length.
• Size: Glass does not compress, so choose a width slightly smaller than you would in silicone.
• Grip: A handle, loop, flared base or second end makes a wet glass dildo far easier to control.
• Base: For anal use pick a design with a wide flared or weighted base so it cannot slip inside.
• Extras: Vibrating glass gives you both pressure and buzz; stability bases allow riding without hands.

How to use and care for glass dildos

Check the toy for chips or cracks each time, then warm or cool it in a bowl of water if you like; never use boiling water, a freezer or a microwave. Plain glass works with any lubricant, including silicone-based, but use water-based with vibrating models that have silicone parts. Go slowly, let the shape and weight do the work, and stop if anything hurts.

• Wash with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner before and after use; solid glass can also be wiped with a diluted bleach solution and rinsed well.
• Keep vibrating glass charging ports dry and never submerge the motor end unless the maker says you can.
• Store each piece in its pouch or box so it does not knock against other toys.
• Retire any glass toy that is chipped, scratched or cracked.

Glass dildos for beginners, couples and temperature play

A beginner who wants to try glass should start with a slim, smooth shape with a handle or flared base, and anyone who already enjoys firm curves can compare the G-spot dildos range. Glass is also popular for anal play, where glass butt plugs are the safer wearable option, and for two-in-one toys the double-ended dildos collection has silicone alternatives.
