Materials are important with dildos! Newcomers to the sex toy world might not realize all the materials dildos can be made of.
For example, glass dildos are wildly popular right now. However, you might not realize the benefits of choosing glass over silicone.
I enjoy glass dildos myself, and I want to tell you why. This article will cover the many benefits of glass dildos and important tips for using one.

The Benefits of Glass Dildos
Glass dildos come with numerous benefits, such as:
Nonporous
When you put toys inside your most delicate parts, you want to ensure they’re clean!
Porous toys absorb bacteria, meaning that cleaning them is a nightmare! Meanwhile, nonporous toys such as silicone, metal, and, of course, glass are simple.
All you need is a bit of soap and water and the toy is good for next time.
Great for Temperature Play
Glass can be heated or cooled for a little extra fun. Soak the toy in hot water or put it in the fridge.
That’s all you need to do.
The only downside is that if you don’t like cold play, the dildo may be a little cold if the room is cool.
Solid
Some people love the flexibility of silicone toys. However, some people like the idea of a toy that will always stay rigid.
If you love that idea, then choose a glass dildo. You’ll get a consistent feeling every single time!
Comes in Many Varieties
Glass dildos don’t just come in one shape or size. You can find double-ended glass dildos, wands, ribbed, and more.
While the options are slightly limited compared to silicone toys, there’s still a lot of choice.
Durable
You may worry about putting something like glass inside of you. However, glass dildos are reinforced.
As long as you don’t drop the dildo on a hard surface, it won’t break inside of you. These dildos are designed for some rough action.
What Types of Glass Dildos Are Available?
Because of their material, there isn’t a large variety of glass dildos available. However, you still have a selection to choose from.
Smooth
Smooth glass dildos are just that: smooth. They are great for beginners or for those who don’t like textured dildos.
Smooth dildos are also quite discreet. You can bring them on your travels and nobody will know what they are!
Textured
Textured dildos have bumps, ridges, and other textures. These textures can add extra oomph to your session.
Plus, they’re so nice to rub your hand over!
Double-Ended
A double-ended glass dildo is great for playing with a partner. Many double-ended glass dildos also have differently-shaped ends, so it can be a two-in-one if you’re by your lonesome.
G-Spot
A g-spot dildo is curved to reach your g-spot. They may include textures as well. When the dildo hits your g-spot, the orgasms you receive can feel amazing.
Anal Dildos
These glass dildos are designed to be easily inserted inside a person’s anus. Anal dildos can come in the form of glass butt plugs.
Or, they may be small enough to be insertable.
Fantasy
These glass dildos are shaped like tentacles, monster phalluses, and other out-of-this-world shapes. They are great if you want something a little more non-traditional.

Which Type of Dildo is Right For You
How to Use a Glass Dildo
Now, here is how you can use a glass dildo for sex!
Using a Glass Dildo for Vaginal Penetration
Lube, lots of lube. Be sure that you have lots of it. While natural juices work well, lube it with water or silicone.
Silicone lubes work very well if you don’t want to reapply the lube. When you insert the dildo, lying down is a good position for first-timers.
Go slow. Listen to your body. Once you feel it, you can increase the momentum. Be sure to hold onto the dildo firmly since it is heavy!
Depending on the thickness, you may want to play with yourself before inserting the toy.
For Anal Penetration
The same rules apply to anal as they do vaginal. However, with anal, you’ll want to prepare yourself even further.
You may use a smaller toy or your fingers to loosen yourself up. Relax whenever you put the toy inside of you.
Also, for best results, use a toy designed for anal. For example, you can use a glass butt plug.
Using a Glass Dildo For Oral Penetration
Be sure that the glass dildo is clean. Please insert it into your mouth while lying down or sitting. Keep a firm grip on it. These positions are to avoid any injuries.
With all of these, communication is vital if you have a partner. Also, listen to your body. If something hurts, then remove the dildo.
Overall, using a glass dildo is relatively easy as long as you use lube. Also, be sure to clean the dildo after every use.
The Best Glass Dildo Tips and Techniques
Now, let’s go over some essential tips and techniques.
Tip: Lots of Lube
I know I’ve talked about the importance of using lube a lot, and it may sound unpleasant at this point.
But with glass dildos, I can’t stress it enough. Due to how solid the toys are, using lots of lube is a must.
Apply water or silicone lube to the shaft and to whichever hole you’re putting it inside.
Tip: Start With the Tip
You don’t want to insert all of the dildo right away. Just the tip! Go in and out a bit to give the lube time to spread inside of you.
If you’re using a G-spot dildo, you’ll also want to insert it from the front.
Tip: Go Slow and Then Faster
Common sense, yes. But I should emphasize this further because glass dildos are solid!
You’ll want to go slow, and then you can go faster and faster once you’re experiencing more pleasure.
Tip: Play With Yourself
Rub your clit, or finger your ass. Maybe add a vibrator to the mix. This will help you reach maximum orgasm.
Tip: Clean After Every Use
To avoid the spread of bacteria and disease, clean your glass dildo. You can use mild soap and warm water to clean the toy; or use antibacterial toy cleaner.
Some people may put their toys in the dishwasher; glasses can go in there. If you go the dishwasher route, choose a gentler setting.
Technique: How to Go Really Deep
If you want to go as deep as possible, kneel on a flat surface or your bed. Insert the tip at your entrance, then lower yourself onto it.
As you do so, move your body. Go deeper and move faster whenever you feel like it.
Going deep will help you reach a deeper orgasm than if you masturbate the traditional way!
Technique: How to Feel Fuller
If you want that glass dildo to feel full inside of you, lie on your back and spread your legs shoulder-width.
Slowly push the glass dildo inside of you, and then masturbate your clitoris with your free hand. Or, a partner can perform oral sex on you.
This technique can give you an explosive orgasm!
Technique: How to Stimulate Your G-Spot
First, I should mention that having a curved dildo designed for G-spot stimulation is a must. Lie on your bed, flat.
Lube your dildo and insert it inside of you. The dildo should go an inch or two on your vagina’s front upper wall.
You’ll feel the G-spot. Move the dildo inside and outside to ensure that you hit your spot again and again.
Technique: For Prostate Stimulation
First, have a glass dildo designed for anal. Lie on your bed and lean on whichever hand isn’t dominant.
Then, get into a squat position. Insert the glass dildo inside your anus slowly. Be sure it’s all lubed up! Go in and out. Listen to your body to ensure you’re feeling pleasure, not pain!

How To Do Temperature Play With a Glass Dildo
Temperature play can be amazing! A warm glass dildo can be great for having fun and getting a massage along the way.
Meanwhile, a cold glass dildo can be great for shock play or nipple play.
But what’s the best way to heat and cool them? For heating, skip the microwave. Have you ever microwaved food that was too hot on one side and taken a bite of it?
You don’t want that inside of you.
Submerge your dildo in warm water for a few minutes. To chill your dildo, put it in cold water for a few minutes or inside a refrigerator for an hour or so.
Before using a hot or cold dildo, touch it to make sure that you will enjoy what will go inside of you.
Where to Buy Glass Dildos?
You can find glass dildos at your local sex shop. Online, I’d highly recommend a reputable dealer.
LoveHoney and SheVibe are two great online retailers. These stores deliver quality products for affordable prices.
Glass Dildo Vs. Silicone Dildo
You know me. I love dildos of all types. But if you have money for only one dildo, which should you choose: glass or silicone? Here are the similarities and differences.
What Glass Dildos and Silicone Dildos Have in Common
- Both dildo types are nontoxic, nonporous, and hypoallergenic. As a result, both are also easy to clean.
- Both can come in different colors, sizes, and shapes.
What Glass Dildos Have That Silicone Dildos Do Not
- A glass dildo is rigid and feels weighty. This feature is something that many prefer.
- Glass dildos can be heated or cooled for temperature play.
- You can recycle glass dildos. Also, these dildos tend to be made with more environmentally friendly methods.
What Silicone Dildos Have That Glass Dildos Do Not
- Silicone dildos can be vibrators. Vibrating dildos can deliver a great level of pleasure to your body.
- Silicone dildos can feel soft and flexible. Also, some resemble natural human skin.
- Silicone dildos are much more lightweight than glass. This way, you don’t need to do much lifting. You can stick a silicone dildo to the wall or floor if it has a suction cup on it.
Like I said, it would be best if you had both. But if you had to choose, it’s all a matter of taste! Which of these two options sounds the most appealing to you?
