What if you could own a sex toy that was not only stunningly beautiful, but also one of the safest and most hygienic options currently available on the market? Picture a glass dildo if you will – delicate, almost fragile to look at is a common association. Clearing this air is important; high quality glass dildos are specifically designed for pleasure, safety being a large part of their construction. A unique form of luxurious experience they provide is something many people simply cannot get with other types of toy.
This guide is meant to walk you through everything you need to know about these elegant toys. What makes them safe will be explored, various small yet significant benefits listed, using them (confidently I hope) detailed, and all aspects of post use cleaning covered. Seeing glass dildos in their true light is what I want the reader to achieve. Beautiful, pure and simple.
The Truth About Glass Dildos: Material Matters
The first and most important thing to know is that we aren’t talking about just any glass. Reputable glass dildos are not made from the same material as your drinking glasses or simple window panes. Borosilicate glass is used for these products; a true specialty type of glass. Extremely durable and thermal-shock resistant, this is the ideal material for such an item.
“People often worry about breakage, but borosilicate glass is the same material used in high-end cookware and laboratory equipment. It’s designed to withstand temperature changes and is much tougher than standard glass.” – Sexual Wellness Expert
Enjoying some form of temperature play is completely safe – warming it under hot water, or chilling it in the fridge, shattering is not a concern. Non-porous being one of the better valued properties of this glass, medical grade if I recall correctly, health and near perfect peace of mind are both achieved by using this type of material.
So, Are They Actually Safe? Yes, and Here’s Why
As a result, I would recommend answering this question with a clear and unequivocal yes! Regarding sex toys specifically, glass dildos if purchased from a respected supplier are among the safest you can buy. Excellent customer service from that supplier is the key factor – physical safety being the primary concern. A number of essential, near immutable factors determine the various levels of safety these toys can offer; pure glass being one of those factors.
1. Completely Non-Porous
The surface of glass is perfectly smooth, non-porous. Unlike more porous materials – jelly being a prime example, along with some cheaper forms of plastic – it has no pores of any sort. Saying that, the material itself is not capable of trapping bacteria, mold, or nearly countless other ‘nasty’ things within its structure. Very hygienic as a result, washing, sterilizing and simply cleaning up after using it is all extremely easy. Maintaining glass is one of those near perfect tasks; easy to keep clean and in good condition.
2. Body-Safe and Hypoallergenic
There are no chemicals leaked by borosilicate glass; reacting with your body or leaking said chemicals into the environment is completely ruled out. We are happy to announce that this particular product is free from phthalates, latex, BPA (and various other ‘potentially harmful’ substances). Ideal for people with sensitive skin or simple, common allergies, non-irritating properties are what this item was designed to possess. Safety and near perfect biocompatibility are key aspects we take pride in.
3. Impressive Durability
Despite the fact that a well-made glass dildo is not truly indestructible (cracking upon a hard tile floor being a possibility), it can still be considered a very durable and resilient product when properly handled. The surface, if used normally, will never chip or crack; rest assured of this. Smoothness and safety for playing on are both maintained; lifetime use is completely within the expected parameters of the product. Physical damage to the surface is something I see as almost impossible to achieve.
The Benefits: More Than Just a Pretty Toy
There are a number of unique features combined in glass dillos that deliver a sensational experience. In spite of the fact that they look pretty on the outside, they are so much more than that.
- Temperature Play: This is where glass truly shines. Warm it up for a soothing, deep sensation or cool it down for that all encompassing thrilling, almost surprising touch. Adding this element to your pleasure is a whole new dimension.
- Ultimate Hygiene: Being non-porous, complete cleaning is simple – soap and water will do the job. Boiling it or running it through the dishwasher (manufacturer instructions allow for this if needed) provides total sterilization.
- Lube-Friendly: Any and all types of lubricant can be used with a glass dildo! Water, silicone, or oil based; glass accepts them all.
- Firm and Satisfying: Glass is completely rigid, direct pressure being what many people find to be the ‘gold standard’ of satisfaction. Targeted G-spot or P-spot stimulation benefits greatly from this quality.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Let’s be honest, glass dildos are works of art. Beautiful colors, small to large scale designs, near perfect clarity – adding a glass toy to a collection is a personal beauty for me.
How to Use a Glass Dildo Safely
Enjoying your glass dildo to the fullest is easy when you keep a few simple safety tips in mind.
- Preparation: Before you start playing with your glass dildo, you should conduct a quick visual inspection of it beforehand. Take a look at the glass itself – nicks, small cracks, or any sort of chip should be noted. Finding even rare forms of damage to the toy is a valid reason to temporarily retire it from use; prevention is better than reaction.
- Lubricate the glass liberally: The glass is smooth, but as mentioned previously does not possess the near infinite elasticity that silicone would provide. A comfortable, slick, and all round ‘pleasant’ experience depends heavily on the quality and amount of lubricant used. Coming out and saying what you think is perfectly fine – don’t hold back!
- Handling with care: Despite the near perfect durability glass products can have, handling with care is still required. Scraping hard surfaces (shower tiles being the prime example) is a real risk. Years of careful use are what will see this item last, dropping it once would be a true pity.
- Observe Your Body: Starting slowly is key, what feels good to you is the end goal. Direct feedback from the firmness of glass will and should be taken into account. Body directed play is the only real win in all of this – let it happen.
