The Icicles No. 8 is a glass dildo.

Ok, so that’s really dry sounding, isn’t it? The No. 8 is a finely crafted piece of art, molded from the finest of Pyrex glass and designed to please the sexual organs of all human beings. The ways you can make use of the No. 8 are limited only by your imagination. At a lovely 7 inches in length, this glass dildo has a wave form shaft and features a bulb on one end and a gentle taper on the other. It maxes out at an average of 1.5 inches, with a narrow point of .75 inches. Keep in mind that this is a handmade toy so some variation is possible!

This dildo is made of extremely safe material.

Glass is hypoallergenic, which means absolutely anyone can use it with no fear of an allergic reaction. Because this toy is made from Pyrex, a highly heat resistant form of soda-lime glass that is also mechanically strong and resistant to breakage, you can feel free to experiment and play with your glass toy (other glass toys, made of less sturdy stuff, are an extremely bad idea to do vigorous things with around your naughty bits!)

Pyrex glass is very easy to clean up. Don’t worry about what type of soap (or lube) you’re using with it, nothing you do to this is likely to effect it at all. After all, this toy is made of the same stuff you bake casseroles in — if it can survive being baked and then scrubbed clean, run through a dishwasher and then used again and again, whatever you choose to do to it to clean it won’t phase it at all. Soap and water, a 10% bleach solution or, heck, run that puppy through the dishwasher to sterilize it! The beauty and usefulness of the toy will withstand everything you have to dish out.

This glass dildo isn’t just for women, either.

For men, the long tapered end can be used anally as a prostate stimulator. Grab hold of the bulbous end and use it as a handle; lube this puppy up with some Boy Butter, KY or your favorite type of lube and go to town. Now, it’s glass, which means it does not bend or give, so if you’re used to silicone toys or softer materials, it may take some getting used to. But it’s so worth getting used to! This toy invades your secret places so implacably and unstoppably that it’s just amazing. You can feel yourself having to move to accommodate it.

As with all anal play and sex play in general, if it hurts, stop. But if it’s just a bit of discomfort, add more lube, breathe into it, and relax. This is not a bare beginner toy, despite the thin shaft and super smooth surface. I’d say this one is good for folks who already know they like to be buggered and pegged and have some experience with same. Additionally, with this toy, do not insert the bulbous end anally, as your greedy ass can and will swallow the whole toy. Use the bulb as if it were the flared base of an anal toy, to stop it from disappearing completely.

For the women who love insertion, the No. 8 glass dildo is a dream come true.

I freaking love my No. 8. I love the big bulb end best, as it provides me a delicious feeling of stretching and fullness, as well as lovely g-spot stimulation. When I’m feeling especially turned on and wet, I don’t need to use lube with my toy — that’s how slick the surface is! With this one, a teeny tiny amount of lube goes a long, long way. It does not absorb lube, so any loss is due to my skin absorption and loss through dripping. mmm, dripping…

Where was I? Oh, yes, extolling the virtues of the No. 8 glass dildo from the Icicles line. It’s pretty, it’s art all by itself, and it’s fucking fabulous to play with. I love to bring it out at parties and show it off as it’s always a crowd pleaser. A pleasant heft and smoothness makes me want to just stroke it and pet it, and I always get someone interested in trying out the glass dildo. Keep some bleach wipes on hand, and you can go from person to person all night long, at the center of the party, handing out orgasms like candy!

No matter what gender you’re using your glass dildo on, there are a few tips to make it more fun!

The No. 8 can be heated or cooled to provide an array of sensations; dip your toy into a bowl of ice cubes and water and then trail that cold tip over certain super-heated body parts; alternatively, use a cup of hot water to heat the toy and give your lover a totally different set of sensations. Remember, if you heat your toy, don’t immediately dip it in ice water as you can cause it to shatter. But, because it’s Pyrex, it won’t shatter into a million tiny bits, instead, it’ll crack into chunks.

Before you use your glass toy, inspect it for any cracks or chips; if you find a crack or chip, sadly consign your toy being an art piece on a shelf. Having your toy break when you’re using it would not be a fun experience; cracks in a glass toy can become breeding grounds for things I don’t want to think about. Don’t play with questionable toys, your health is too important to put at risk with a chipped glass dildo.

The No. 8 glass dildo from Pipedreams is a great glass sex toy.

I know I love mine, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a fabulously lovely addition to their sex life. Versatile, easy to clean and nice to look at, this glass dildo does not disappoint! But don’t take my word for it, FemmeFlo also has great things to say about it!

Oh, and yes, mine looks different from the ones you can get now; currently No. 8 comes in blue! Mine is also a bit thicker than the current design run as well, but that just makes me love it more.
