How to Use a Glass Dildo (Feel the Hard, Glistening Plays!)

Dildos could satisfy every kink and every preference you can possibly have. But glass dildos are relatively unpopular. Probably because they’re not the first material you’ll guess when it comes to dildos. It might even scare you a bit. I mean, c’mon, glass dildos? Are they even safe? To assure you right here and right now, yes, they’re safe.

In fact, glass dildos offer a whole lot of perks that make them more appealing than the other kinds of dildos.  So if you’re like me and you’re highly curious about these “glass dildos” then buckle up, baby. You’re in for some interesting facts about glass dildos and why you’ll love them!

What is A Glass Dildo?

Glass dildos essentially are dildos made with glass. These unique dildos offer a firmer penetration than your regular dildo and even considered pieces of art due to their delicate and glistening appearance.

But glass dildos are still relatively underrated in the sex toy space, and this is due to the notion that glass dildos are fragile. That’s not the entire case at all though, as this type of dildo uses a different kind of glass— a toughened material known as borosilicate glass. It will really take some intense beating before it breaks. And even when it does, it doesn’t shatter like what you expect. It will break into cubes, preventing any unwanted injury. These glistening beauties are very durable and will outlast any plastic alternative.

Why You Should Get a Glass Dildo

In case you’re still not convinced with glass dildos, we’ll give you reasons to find them irresistable.

1 Glass dildos are firm and hard.

They’re made of glass so these sex toys offer a firmer and more solid stimulation and penetration than the other kinds. If you’re like me and you like it hard and strong, glass dildos give you an intense pleasure when you put it inside you or your partner.

If your glass toy has ribs, knobs or beads, it will feel fantastic against the vaginal walls. A smooth glass dildo, on the other hand, will glide on your G-spot or prostate easily and tickle your senses. If you’re using this dildo for vaginal penetration, it will really give something firm and weighty for your pelvic floor muscles to grip around. This would help intensify your climax. However, because it’s made of such solid material, be careful when penetrating yourself or your partner to avoid unwanted injuries.

2 They are like pieces of art.

Glass toys are ideal for those who look for beauty as well as functionality in their sex toys. Glass dildos aren’t just functional. They could be mistaken for works of art, too.  From hypnotic spirals to beautiful magical wands, they could look like anything but dildos.

Because of this, if you wanna be totally discreet, a glass dildo can do the job for you. You can probably display your glass dildo on your study desk and nobody would suspect it’s a sex toy. You can lie and say that it’s just a room decor, figurine or something like a trophy you once won for a competition. Just be sincere with the lie and trust me, it would totally be believable.

3 Glass dildos are perfect for temperature play!

Unlike other materials, glass is incredibly “temperature-sensitive”. This means that they can easily adjust to the temperature you put them in. As such, you can cool them down or heat them up according to your liking. This will add new wild sensations to the sex play you’re making to yourself or to your partner.

For instance, if the glass dildo is heated or cooled, it can be used for external massage of your erogenous zones like nipples, the clit or your inner thighs! In order to do this, submerge your toy in either cool or warm water to change its temperature. You can even put it in the freezer for a few hours. But be careful, you shouldn’t use extreme measures to quickly heat up the toy. As most glass toys should not be microwaved because it may shatter the toy. So as a safety measure, test your toy’s temperature on your arm before using it on yourself or your partner.Glass dildos take your sex to the next level. You’ll definitely get a reaction out of your partner when you do.

4 Glass dildos are shatter-proof and eco-friendly!

If your first thought of glass dildos scared you because it’s glass, then you can relax. Glass dildos are totally safe to use. Unlike drinking glasses, mirrors and other glass objects, glass dildos are made from a toughened material known as borosilicate glass. It will really take some intense beating before it breaks. And even when it does, it doesn’t shatter like what you expect. It will break into cubes, preventing any unwanted injury.

And, don’t worry if you do ever decide to say goodbye, glass dildos are recyclable, making them a super eco-friendly toy choice. Because they’re made out of glass, they’re super easy to clean (just use a mild antibacterial soap and water or toy cleaner, if you have any) and are also nonporous, which means bacteria can’t permeate the surface of the toy.These glistening beauties are very durable and will outlast any plastic alternative.

5 Glass dildos are hypoallergenic and very easy to clean.

Glass dildos aren’t just easy to use, they’re also very easy to clean. They’re free from latex,  phthalates and any chemicals. Glass is hypoallergenic and perfect for sensitive types. So you’re safe! Plus, it’s incredibly easy to clean. Just soap and water will do. You can even boil it for an extra step if you like. The tough borosilicate glass won’t easily scratch, and the non-porous surface won’t hold on to bacteria.

Glass dildos are functional, beautiful pieces of art that are perfect for experimenting with sensory play.  They are becoming more and more popular but with such an uncommon material, people aren’t sure how to use them. If you’re one of those beginners having a difficulty figuring out how to make the most out of your glass toy, we’re here to help you.

How To Use a Glass Dildo

In case you’re afraid of using one, we’re here to give you a guide on how to use glass dildos.

1Set the mood first.

If you’ve ever closed the blinds, turned down the lights and lit a few candles before sex, you know how much a change in ambiance can help your mood. The same applies when you’re flying solo with a glass dildo. Light a candle, put on some sexy music and dim the lights if it helps you. Lock the door so you don’t have to worry about someone barging in.

Playing with your dildo and correctly hitting you G Spot can lead female ejaculation, so you might feel more comfortable letting go if you lay down a towel before you get started. Pick up your favorite erotica story or book to kick things off. Just make sure not to get any lube on the pages!

2 Choose your glass dildo.

As well know, glass is a malleable material and with it comes different varieties of shapes, sizes and textures. From twisted, curved glass dildos to ones with ridges and bumps, you’ll never get bored with your options.

The majority of glass dildos are made from high quality borosilicate glass. This material makes it possible for glass dildos to remain safe, durable and sturdy. Picking a hard glass dildo is great for ladies who enjoy hard stimulation.

3Don’t forget about warmup.

Before you start playing with your dildo, you might need to warm up first. This might mean manual stimulation such as stimulating your erogenous zones, like touching your nipples or rubbing your inside thighs, along with having an orgasm or two. If you don’t produce much natural lubrication, then, grab some lube. Some of the reported benefits of using lube include increasing arousal/sexual pleasure/desire, making sex more fun and increasing physical comfort during sex.

And as much as we’d like to think that sex toys are only good for masturbation and foreplay. There are exceptions and multi-purpose sex toys like glass dildos which you can also use as a massager. Double the pleasure by using your glass toy as a massager. The smooth, firm surface of your glass toy makes it a perfect wand for massaging those sore muscles. Even your beaded glass dildo can be used to deliver a textured experience on your shoulders or back. You can warm the toy first (see above) and pair it with your favorite aromatherapy or massage oil for an enhanced sexual experience. Get horny and get relaxed all at the same time. You are sure to love it if you try this one out for yourself.

4 Use it for internal stimulation.

A glass dildo is firm so if you like it hard, you’ll enjoy this toy.  Make sure you are aroused enough before you insert a glass dildo inside you. But as with any other sex toy, glass dildos can be used with or without lube. When you use the glass dildo for penetration twist it whilst it is inside you.

If you used a textured glass dildo, the different textures will feel great against the vaginal walls. Try rocking the dildo inside you instead of just thrusting with it. This will help provide a firm stimulation for reaching those sweet spots. You can also play around with strap-ons to make it hands-free and fun.

5You don’t have to thrust it deeply.

Most of the sensitive nerve endings exist in the first 1/3 of your vagina, so you don’t necessarily have to thrust deeply to get the most out of your masturbation session with your dildo. Short and rapid strokes mean your dildo isn’t barraging your cervix, and it might be easier on your wrists, too! Remember that just because you can insert up to seven inches of a dildo doesn’t mean that you have to. Instead, you can use the extra shaft length to get a better grasp on the dildo.

6 Experiment with temperature play.

If you’ve mastered maneuvering the glass dildo inside of you, you can try experimenting with temperature play. It’s probably one of the most unique features of a glass dildo. Unlike rubber or plastic dildos, glass can be heated up in warm water or cooled down in your freezer for intense variations in temperature.

Varying the temperature of this toy intensifies sensations and heightens orgasms. Plus, warm or cold glass dildos feel great on the clitoris and during penetration. For your safety, here are things to remember:

If you want to cool them….

For hands-down cool, icy sensations down your or your partner’s spine, try putting your toy in a bowl of cold water or chill it in the fridge for 10 minutes before you use it.

Try gliding it up and down slowly on your partner’s inner thighs. You can also play with it by swirling it around their breasts and up to the tips of their nipples to tease them.

Word of advice, though. Before using the chilled up toy, always check the temperature on your forearm to ensure that it’s comfortable to use, most especially if you’re planning to insert them. If it’s too cold or icy, you or your partner might get ice burn. You definitely don’t want that to ruin the mood.

If you want to warm them…

Playing with fire has never felt this good. Temperature play is even more exciting when you or your partner switch and combine warm and cold sensations. Alternating between the warmth and the coolness can surely heighten the anticipation for more.

The safest way to heat a glass dildo is to fill a pan with hot tap water then submerging your toy in it for 10 minutes. Afterward, pour out most of the water until the dildo is only half-submerged before you remove it. Again, test the temperature first on your forearm before trying anything. You don’t want any burnt flesh. Most especially, not on your private parts!

7Experiment with caution!

The most important thing you can do is to try out these ideas and experiment to discover new and more pleasurable ways to use your dildo both by yourself and during sex. You may find that deep, intense penetration gives you full body, shaking orgasms or you might discover that simply running your dildo over the outside of your vagina sends shivers down your spine.

8 Know that you can use it with all kinds of lubes!

Glass dildos are smoother than any latex, rubber or silicone toy. This means there’s a lot less friction. You can use it without any condom and a little lube will go a really long way with glass dildos. Aside from this, unlike other materials, glass is tolerant of any kind of lube you might use. It will not get damaged. So feel free to use it with whatever lube you have there with you. You’ll notice that your toy slides even more easily and improves the sensations.

9 Use it as a massager.

Glass dildos are extremely beautiful to look at but they’re extremely versatile as well. Aside from temperature play, experiment with sensation play. The smooth, firm surface of your glass toy makes it perfect for massage.  You can use this toy to tease your partner. Make sweeping strokes from your glass toy. Experiment with the different textures of the glass dildo by rolling it over your body. Try adding a massage oil for better results. It feels great when you rub it on the clit or on shaft of the penis. But it will also feel great when you use it to massage your shoulder or back.

10 Don’t forget the aftercare.

When it comes to cleaning your glass dildo (which is recommended both before and after each use), you have different options:

• Wash it in the top rack of your dishwasher. Make sure you treat it as how you”ll treat wine glasses for extra precaution.
• Handwash it with unscented soap and warm water
• Spray it with rubbing alcohol and wipe it down with water

Whichever you choose, each method assures thorough cleaning of your toy. And as for storage, keep any type of glass sex toy in a padded pouch. As much as its durable, if you consistently drop it due to negligence, it’s not impossible that it will get chipped.
