Why Use a Glass Dildo?
Have you ever seen a glass dildo? If not, you're in for a real treat! Not only are they absolutely stunning, but they also have numerous benefits that make them great sex toys. Let's dive into some of those benefits!
Glass Sex Toys Require Minimal Lube
Glass dildos are highly slippery and require the minimum amount of lube for a fantastic slippery adventure. These same properties that make glass knick-knacks slippery and prone to accidents are the same properties that make glass dildos a fantastic choice for a slippery experience. If dryness is a regular problem or you find that silicone dildos tend to absorb your natural lubrication, glass dildos can be an excellent solution. They also require very little additional lube to reach maximum slipperiness, making them an excellent option if your body is sensitive to lubricants.
Glass Dildos are Ideal for Temperature Play
Are you fond of the idea of a warming sex toy touching your skin or the chilling touch of a sex toy after a sweaty session during the hot summer months? Perhaps glass sex toys may be to your liking. Just like stainless steel sex toys, glass dildos retain heat and cold very well.
To achieve your desired temperature, simply fill a bowl with hot or cold water and immerse your dildo. After five to ten minutes, you will have a hot or colder dildo of your choice. Although, you must bear in mind that the same quality that retains temperature can also make your glass toy hot or cold to the touch as you enjoy it.
A pro-tip: if you want to replay the temperature play sensations, get a second glass sex toy. Keep one in the water while you use the other one, and then swap them out. This allows you to enjoy temperature play sensations over and over.
High-Quality Glass Dildos are Safe
If you ensure that your glass sex toy is of high quality, it should be made of Borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass contains at least 5% boric oxide in its contents, which makes it significantly more resistant to breakage due to temperature changes and handling.
Contrary to widespread belief, glass sex toys are not made of the same glass as that of glass bottles in restaurants. Glass sex toys are made from entirely different glass types. They are solid (instead of hollow) for sturdier designs – complete with a more-durable type of glass that handles stress better than your average glass soda bottle.
In case anything ever happens, Borosilicate glass doesn’t break into a thousand tiny pieces in your body. Its chemical formulation causes it to break into large chunks – only when it falls on a hard surface.
All these features make high-quality glass dildos a good option, considering they do not break easily inside you during use, tolerate nipple temperatures, and become lubricious with lube. Nonetheless, glass remains to be glass, and you must treat your glass dildo with the utmost care. Remember to inspect the surface of the glass dildo for any sharp edges before each use, store it in a padded storage bag, and avoid exposing it to dangerous edges.
Glass Sex Toys are Easy to Clean
Glass dildos’ slippery nature not only makes them pleasurable but also easy to clean. With just a bit of soap and scrubbing, lube and bodily fluids rinse off in seconds. Among all my sex toys, my glass ones are the easiest to clean.
Moreover, since most glass dildos are waterproof (but confirm with the sex toys manufacturer before use), you can soak them after use. Soaking in warm, soapy water is ideal for cleaning textured dildos thoroughly, while deep cleaning just requires an extended soak.
But keep a firm grip on your glass sex toy while cleaning it to avoid cracks or chips. Glass dildos are prone to damage when they slip through your hands and hit a hard floor. Wash your glass dildo near the bottom of the sink to avoid this problem.
Glass Sex Toys are Partially See-Through
The see-through design featured in most glass toys’ designs makes them an excellent addition for individuals who wish to display their sex content creations like photos, videos, or performing on live cam sites effectively. These toys' slender design and small base (or nonexistent) enables precise visual communication when using sex toys. When compared to other toy materials that are bulky and opaque, glass dildos offer better visibility.
Typically, glass sex toys are slim in size because they do not feature a plushy design. Consequently, a 1.5" size feels precisely one and a half inches. The added weight of glass may also contribute to their slim design since thicker glass toys are heavier and may be challenging to hold.
Glass Dildos are Compatible with Every Lube
Glass sex toys can be used with any type of lube, unlike silicone dildos. Irrespective of your preferred silicone-based or oil-based lube, the entire range of lubricants can be applied without any challenge. This feature is unique to glass sex toys, as most sex toy materials limit the use of water-based lubes only.
For people experiencing regular vaginal dryness, sex experts may recommend the use of silicone-based lubricants with silicone dildos off-limits. However, you can comfortably use such lubricants with your glass dildo without worrying about any incompatibility.
Glass Dildos Aren’t Realistic
A lot of people are not particularly interested in using realistic, flesh-colored dildos during masturbation. This is due to personal preferences and other reasons, while others consider it perfect for their pleasurable sessions.
Glass dildos, however, are incapable of achieving the softness, opaque, flesh-colored look of human penises. Manufacturers don’t even make attempts at recreating human anatomy with these dildos. Instead, glass dildos sport different appearances, often resembling works of art, with dichroic designs, floral effects, pastel shades, and swirling colorations. Glass dildos’ unique appearance can be arousing for some shoppers, and that could be a selling point.
A Final Tip: Always Carry a Towel
Glass sex toys' slipperiness can be a blessing and a curse. While it makes your glass dildo perfectly slippery, it also makes it difficult to hold when lubrication gets to the wrong places, especially during playtime. Thus, it’s advisable to carry a towel while using a glass dildo. Should lubrication make your grip fidgety, wipe off the glass sex toy's handle with the towel, thus restoring your leverage.
