The best glass dildos you'll want to display on your nightstand
Don't they look fancy?
Glass dildos and glass sex toys are arguably some of the most underrated pleasure tools. While they might seem intimidating, they're really not that scary. In fact, they can be a totally transformative piece of kit to add to your toy box because they encourage a slower, more purposeful self love practice – rather than simply hitting a button and lying back.
Of course, for some, a firmer material isn't ideal – especially if you suffer with a condition like vaginismus or you're feeling sensitive due to anxiety, trauma or you're in your post-partum recovery. For these situations, there are plenty of non-penetrative toys like pebble vibrators and super-soft sex toys that make masturbation much easier. But for those with a curious streak, glass can be *the one*. Plus, it's sustainable, ideal if you're into the idea of a more eco-friendly sex toy.
How to use a glass dildo
There are a few things to bear in mind if you're going to use a glass dildo. Number one: the toys are made from reinforced hardy glass that doesn't shatter. It won't break while you're using it. And even if you drop it, it'll probably bounce - these babies are tough. Number two: glass toys feel incredible because they're designed to apply pressure to the internal walls of the vagina in different ways depending on the shape and size. They're sometimes called wands or massagers too, because the firmness means they're great for internal massage, releasing tension in the vaginal and pelvic muscles and using as dilators too.
Finally, glass sex toys are amazing for temperature play. You can warm them in a bowl of warm water, or cool them down in a bowl of cold water for a whole new experience. On hot days you can keep them in the fridge – just make sure they're sterile! And remember to never put them in the freezer, the temperature in a freezer is way too cold and you don't want to hurt your skin!
Glass toys are easy to clean and great for travel, bath and shower sessions and due to their delicious weightiness and firmness, they're great for rolling over or putting pressure on sore muscles and erogenous zones all over the body. Plus, you can use them with any lube or body-friendly oil you like - unlike silicone, glass is compatible with everything! In short, these wands are magical.
So, if you think you're ready to take a glass sex toy for a spin, here's our editor's pick of the best...
