If you’re new to the dildo world, you may not know about the materials that dildos are made from.
There’s silicone, metal, and even glass!
Yes, this article will look at glass dildos. When you want to get yourself a dildo that satisfies you, why choose glass?
Well, I’m here to tell you that there are many reasons why glass dildos are some of my favorites.
I’ll look at the benefits of glass dildos, how to use them safely, and which are my 7 favorites.
Contents
What Are The Benefits of Glass Dildos?
Glass dildos have many benefits! These benefits include:
Temperature Play
Some like it hot, and some like it cold! Glass dildos are perfect for either preference.
Glass retains temperature better than silicone dildos, so you can heat or cool them and experience incredible sensations.
Smooth and Hard
If you’re someone who doesn’t like a bendable, soft dildo, you’re in luck! Last time I checked, glass isn’t the most bendable material out there.
Easy to Clean
Glass is non-porous. All you need to do is wash it off with some soap and water, and voila.
You should avoid dildos made from porous materials in general, as getting the bacteria out of them is difficult!
Works With Any Type of Lube
Glass dildos require lots of lube, and luckily, all lubes work. Some toys, such as silicone, break down when exposed to silicone lubes.
But glass doesn’t work like that.
You can give it plenty of silicone lube, which will make the toy slick for longer. When you do so, the toy will not be damaged.
Do Glass Toys Feel Better?
This is subjective! It’s all down to taste. Those who like a hard, smooth, and organic feeling may prefer glass over silicone. Also, glass has a lack of texture.
While some people love a textured dildo, others may be a little more sensitive to a textured dildo.
If that’s you, then you may love what a glass dildo can bring to the table.
Types of Glass Dildos to Choose From
There are several glass dildos you can find. Here are some of them:
- Smooth. These dildos lack any bumps, meaning you’ll have a consistent experience from beginning to end. These dildos are a real crowd-pleaser.
- Textured. These glass dildos have bumps, ridges, or shapes that can change the experience. You will be surprised at how creative some textures can be, too!
- G-spot. These dildos are designed to target the g-spot, helping you to reach max orgasm. Their curved shape will help you reach your most sensitive reason without any hassle, which is what I love!
- Anal/p-spot. These dildos are designed for easy anal insertion. The dildo may have a flat base so that the toy does not get lost inside of you. Its shape may allow men or AMABs to stimulate their prostate and experience intense orgasms! Read more about the top anal dildos here
- Fantasy. These dildos are shaped like tentacles or other out of this world creatures. If you’re looking for an unbelievable experience, you can’t go wrong with these!
- Vibrators. Yes, some glass dildos can be vibrators. As long as the batteries are fully charged, these dildos provide intense stimulation.
Top 7 Glass Dildos
Now, let me introduce you to my 7 favorite glass dildos. Most glass dildos are hits, so it was hard to have just seven. But I think I’ve gotten them down!
Here are my top seven glass dildos:
1. Icicles No 57 Realistic Double-Ended Glass Dildo – Best Overall
When choosing the best glass dildo, I wanted to pick something that would please most people.
Something high-quality but not too expensive. It’s a toy that has all the features someone would want in a glass dildo.
And I think I found the right one.
This dildo from Icicles, which you’ll be seeing a lot in this article, is the winner. It has two sides. One is penis-shaped but is smooth.
This side is terrific if you want the traditionally smooth glass experience.
But if you want something with a bit more texture, the other side has you covered with spiraled textures.
With 9.5 insertable inches and a circumference of 4.5 inches, it should please most people.
However, some may find the dildo a bit too large in circumference.
With that said, the smooth surface means that, with a bit of lube, you can put the dildo inside of you without worry.
Pros
- Two different sizes for maximum fun!
- Affordable without being cheap.
- It is made from high-quality glass.
Cons
- Some may find it a bit too thick.
2. Icicles 31 – Best G and P-Spot Dildo
The next dildo on my list also comes from Icicles. This one is also double-ended and is made for anal adventures and also vaginal!
Some couples, especially heterosexuals, will love that one curved end can stimulate the g-spot or p-spot, and the other is a beaded texture.
The beaded-textured end can work as a fantastic glass butt plug.
The dildo has seven insertable inches, but because of its shape, you’ll probably get only one end at a time.
It’s girthy at nearly 4 inches, but it’s not too bad for most people. The dildo is also affordable without being too cheap.
When you’re picking a glass dildo, avoid the ones under $20. They may save you money, but they are more prone to breaking!
Pros
- Great for anal or g-spot stimulation.
- Curved end can really get inside!
- Not too expensive.
Cons
- It’s challenging to get the entire thing in you.
3. Lovehoney Tentacle Textured Sensual Glass Dildo – Best Fantasy Dildo
Fantasy dildos have become all the rage recently, and I get it. When you’ve had enough of humans, you may imagine yourself being taken by a beast from beyond this world.
One of the most popular fantasy dildos is the tentacle. I admit that when a friend showed me tentacle hentai for the first time, I was weirded out by it.
But sometimes, I wonder how it would be to be a helpless anime girl all tangled up in those tentacles. I digress.
This dildo is an excellent starter, having all the bumps, ridges, veins, and shapes you’d expect out of a tentacle.
It has 4.5 inches of insertable length and a circumference of 4.5 inches, making it ideal for most people.
It’s also affordable without being cheap. Seriously, if you love this toy, you may want to get into other monster dildos.
They can get expensive, but they come in so many unique shapes that I don’t mind paying the price.
Pros
- It’s an excellent fantasy dildo on the budget.
- It is greatly textured to add to the experience.
- Not too big or small.
Cons
- Some fantasy lovers may be craving a little more.
4. Lovehoney Sensual Glass Iridescent Anal Beads – Best Anal Toy
Sometimes, you learn a new word every day. A few years ago I learned that “Iridescent” is the word used to describe those crazy colors that seem to change depending on where you look at them.
Think of a bubble or an oil spill. This dildo has those colors, but that’s only the cherry on top.
This dildo is shaped like an ordinary pair of anal beads, complete with a pull string for when you’re done with them.
There are seven beads included, making them great for beginners and veterans. It’s six insertable inches with 3.5 inches circumferences, which is also a crowd-pleaser.
If there’s one downside, it’s that the beads do not differ in size.
Some people love anal beads, where the first one is smaller, and the last is the largest. But these are all the same size.
I get why since accomplishing this would be much more complicated with glass.
Pros
- Includes a pull string so the beads don’t get stuck inside of you.
- Beautiful iridescent colors.
- The size should be a crowd-pleaser.
Cons
- The beads do not change in size, which some may not like.
5. Prisms Vibra-Glass 10x – Best Vibrator
When you think of glass dildos, you may not imagine them vibrating. But many of them do.
If you want a vibrator but can’t decide between silicone or glass, this one combines the best of both worlds. One end is premium silicone, and the other is smooth glass.
The vibrator is USB-powered, which means you don’t have to buy extra batteries. This factor is a nice touch since batteries can be such a hassle.
Another thing I love about this dildo is that it’s easy to control. Just press the button to swap between different speeds and patterns.
There are three speeds and seven patterns in all.
The dildo is also IPX6 waterproof. This means that you can use it in a shower without damage. However, don’t submerge it in a bath. IPX7 or higher is recommended for that.
Finally, this dildo is 3.5 inches insertable on each side and has a width of 1 inch. So it’s not the thickest dildo around, but it can be great for some warm-up action!
Overall, this is a great little glass vibrator. Glass vibes can be hit or miss, but this one is a big hit.
Try it out and see how good it is.
Pros
- Two sides means that you can get the best of both worlds.
- Different charging speeds and patterns.
- USB battery.
Cons
- It’s not fully waterproof, but it can handle a shower.
6. Lovehoney Small Heart Butt Plug – Best Butt Plug
What if you wish to wear a butt plug for a while? Then I recommend this one from Lovehoney!
The butt plug is pink glass, with a heart shape at the end that doubles as a way to pull the plug out when you’re done.
There’s nothing too much to say about this butt plug. It’s three insertable inches, satisfying most anal needs, and is four inches in circumference.
Toys like this make for great Valentine’s Day gifts and are also great year-round gifts.
Pros
- It has a cute heart shape.
- It will satisfy most anal needs.
- Inexpensive.
Cons
- Truly experienced anal users may want a little more.
7. Icicles No. 38 – Best BDSM Toy
I had to end this list with something very unique. Now, I want to say that I’m not the biggest BDSM girl.
But I love some spankings here and there. This flogger has a handle that is a glass dildo! Yes, you’ve heard that right!
The dildo itself is five inches long, and its shaft is ridged. The ridges give you an amazing textured feeling while also making it easy to hold on to.
On the other side are its fronds. There are 30 in all, and made from suede leather. The toy is inexpensive, so it’s not going to be the highest quality leather, but it gets the job done.
They’re 18.5 inches in total and are great if you want to whip your sub or if you want to tickle them a little. Think of the possibilities!
Especially with how temperature-adjustable the glass dildo is. You can whip your sub, then give them some fun with a warm dildo as a reward.
Overall, it’s a tremendous little BDSM toy. I guess one downside is the fact the dildo is the handle.
Even with the ridges, you need to hold onto it firmly when you are getting into the heat of the moment.
Plus, you may need to wipe it dry after having a bit of fun each time. If the dildo is too slick with lube, you may run into some problems.
Pros
- It’s a nice little two-in-one.
- The fronds sting hard.
- The dildo has a nice texture.
Cons
- You may need to be careful when holding it.
What to Consider When Buying a Glass Dildo
Don’t pick the first glass dildo you find! Here are some considerations.
The Type
I discussed the types in the above section, so re-read that if you need to. Once you’ve done so, think about what kind of glass dildo best suits your needs.
Do you need one for anal play? Vaginal? A little bit of both?
These factors are all vital when you wish to pick a good dildo for your needs.
To read more about other types of dildos and their benefits go to this post.
Materials
You may be confused about this because it’s all glass, right? There are several types of glass that dildos can be made from. First is borosilicate glass.
This glass is commonly used for kitchenware and laboratory ware. It’s a very durable glass designed to withstand extreme temperatures.
In other words, you don’t have to worry about it breaking when you have a little fun in bed.
The second type of glass that dildos tend to be made from is soda-lime. This glass is used in kitchenware and window panes.
It’s a little less resistant to extreme heat, but it’s still durable. Both glasses can be transformed into different shapes and designs, so it may just be down to taste.
Price
How much are you willing to pay? You can get a good glass dildo in the $50 range, give or take. More expensive dildos can provide you with an even better experience.
But for the most part, you don’t have to pay too much. That said, do not buy a super cheap glass dildo. For instance, I’ve never spent $10 on one!
These cheapies may save you money, but they can be dangerous!
Reviews
Finally, what are the reviews saying? Do people love the dildo, or are there some complaints?
If there are no reviews on a specific dildo, look for other products by the manufacturer.
If the different products have good reviews, you can assume that the dildo you’re about to buy is of high quality as well.
How to Use a Glass Dildo for Pleasure
Now, let’s look at how to use glass dildos to get off.
G-spot Stimulation With Glass Dildos
You’ll ideally want a curved glass dildo designed for g-spot stimulation. Get in the mood.
Turn the lights down low, listen to a lovely song, and maybe even sprinkle rose petals everywhere. I’m not judging.
You may want to get yourself off with your fingers at first. Or, use some lube and insert the dildo slowly.
Remember, It’s not a race. Once you’ve hit your g-spot, pick up some momentum. You can usually listen to your body and determine how fast or slow you should go.
Clitoral Stimulation With Glass Dildos
The same rules apply here. The only difference is that you probably don’t need a curved dildo necessarily.
Anal/p-spot Stimulation With Glass Dildos
Finally, you’ll want a dildo specifically for these regions, as they have safety measures in place.
Start slow, using a finger or a smaller dildo. Use lots of lube.
Remember, silicone lube can work well for glass dildos!
Temperature Play With Glass Dildos
Using a warm or cool dildo can add some spice to a regular session. Cold dildos can make your dildos perk up. Warm dildos can feel oh-so-lovely. So, how do you heat or cool the dildo?
To heat a glass dildo, I would recommend immersing it in some warm water for a couple of minutes.
Adjust the temperature of the water to your preferred preferences. Use a paper towel to dry off the dildo. It should keep its heat for a good while, giving you plenty of time to have some fun!
Don’t use a microwave; these glass dildos are usually not microwave-safe. You’ll have a dildo that is extremely hot in some areas, possibly causing burns!
For a cool dildo, put it in some cold water for a bit or leave it in the fridge for an hour or so. You can even add some ice cubes for some extra coldness. Avoid freezing the dildo.
Safety Considerations For Glass Dildos
Glass dildos are safe as long as you follow a few safety considerations. First, be sure to clean them after every use!
Glass is non-porous, so all you need to do is use mild soap and warm water to give it a nice clean.
Another safety tip is to not go cheap on glass dildos. I’m not saying you have to take out your credit card or a second mortgage to buy a glass dildo.
But if the dildo is too cheap, it can break easily. And you don’t want this.
Avoid heating or cooling the dildo to extreme temperatures. Do not freeze, boil, or microwave these dildos.
Use warm or cool water to change temperatures, or use a fridge. Extreme temperatures can lead to the dildo breaking.
Finally, do not drop these dildos. If you notice a breakage on a glass dildo, discard it immediately. Even a tiny breakage can lead to the dildo shattering if you use it!

Avoiding Glass Dildo Breakage
Glass dildos are safe to use inside of you. As long as the dildo is competently made, you have nothing to worry about.
But do not drop the dildo. Even if you don’t see any breakage after dropping, drops can weaken the dildo’s foundation.
Keep the dildo clean, as some bacteria and germs may weaken the dildo’s surface. When cleaning the dildo, scrub it with mild soap and warm water.
You can use the dishwasher as well, but put it on a light setting. Too much power may end up damaging it!
Finally, store the dildo in a silk bag or box. Keep it in a cool, dry place.
Comparison Between Glass And Silicone Dildos
Glass dildos and silicone dildos are both great. Let’s look at the similarities and differences between them.
Similarities
- Both are non-porous, which means they will not absorb bacteria. You will not need to deep clean glass or silicone dildos to prepare them for the next use.
- Glass and silicone dildos come in different shapes and sizes.
- Both have electric options. While there are fewer glass vibrators compared to silicone, they do exist.
Differences
- Silicone is bendable, while glass is not.
- Silicone is softer and can have texture, while glass is hard and smooth.
- Glass dildos are more fragile. Meanwhile, you can drop a silicone dildo and not have to worry about it.
- Glass dildos can retain heat or cool, making them ideal for temperature play.
In short, both glass and silicone dildos have their advantages and disadvantages. I would recommend having both in your dildo drawer myself.
But if you can only get one, look at the similarities and differences and see which one you prefer!
