What to Consider When Buying a Glass Dildo?
When buying a glass dildo, you should consider both the sensation that you are looking to achieve as well as the length, girth, and if you are going to use it vaginally or anally. Glass toys are noted for their variety of shapes and textures, meaning you can garner a large amount of variety with a small collection. However, the harder material of glass means that it is less malleable than its silicone counterpart, making proper sizing when purchasing a toy incredibly important. Lastly, if you are looking aiming for anal play, ensure that the toy you choose has a tapered base for safe and easy insertion and removal.
Choosing the Right Material for Your Dildo
When selecting a dildo, considering the material for both comfort, use, and any body or skin reactions unique to your body is paramount. For beginners, medical grade silicone is the go-to for many as the material is soft and smooth as well as non-porous, meaning it won't retain harmful bacteria when properly cleaned and cared for. It is also more flexible and approachable than many other materials, making it a great starting point. Glass is another fantastic option for beginners as glass is hypoallergenic and compatible with all types of lubricant. While some may be reluctant due to fears over using glass, these types of sex toys are made with shatter-proof borosilicate glass, meaning they won't shatter or break under pressure.
Best Dildo Size for Beginners
As the depth and stimuli area of the G-spot varies from body to body, those looking to begin vaginal play should look for a slimmer shaft with length between 5-6 inches long. While the G-spot has more variation in location, the P-spot in all prostate owners is located around 3.5 inches into the anus, making 3.5 inches minimum ideal for testing tushie play.
How to Clean and Store Glass Toys?
Glass is incredibly easy to clean due to its non-porous and shatter-proof nature. Cleaning with proper Toy Cleaner or any body-safe soap and warm water is acceptable for most cases. Glass toys are also safe to be placed in the top rack of the dishwasher for more intense sterilization. After drying, store your glass toys in their included carrying pouch or in a protective box to prevent scratching and dust accumulation.
How to Safely Use Glass Dildos for Temperature Play?
As glass is highly receptive to changes in temperature, it is incredibly fast and easy to cool down your toy by placing it in a refrigerator or warming it by wrapping it in a hot towel for a few minutes. Alternatively, as glass is compatible with all types of lubricants, a warming or cooling lube will have even more noticeable reactions when paired with a glass dildo.
