Quick answer
For a safe, long-lasting experience with your Icicles No. 24, clean it before and after each use with mild soap and warm water, store it in a padded pouch away from hard objects, and always use plenty of lubricant—especially when experimenting with temperature play.
Why glass dildos need special care
Unlike silicone or jelly toys, glass dildos like the Icicles No. 24 are nonporous and hypoallergenic, which makes them easy to sanitize but also more prone to chipping or cracking if dropped or stored carelessly. The hand-blown nature of Icicles glass means each piece is unique, but also that the surface can be slightly textured—so proper lubrication and gentle handling are key.
Temperature play: what to expect
Glass conducts temperature very well, so you can safely warm the Icicles No. 24 under warm water or cool it in the fridge for a few minutes before use. Never boil or freeze it, as extreme temperatures can cause thermal shock and damage the glass. Always test the temperature on your inner wrist before inserting.
Diagnosis: Common issues and solutions
- Symptom: Toy feels sticky or has a residue after cleaning: Likely cause: Using a soap with moisturizers or a fabric softener on your storage pouch. Corrective action: Wash the glass with plain dish soap and warm water, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Switch to a lint-free storage pouch. Stickiness is almost always a residue issue, not a defect.
- Symptom: Difficulty inserting or discomfort during use: Likely cause: Insufficient lubrication or the glass is too cold/hot. Corrective action: Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant. If doing temperature play, bring the glass to a comfortable warm (not hot) temperature first. If discomfort persists, stop and consider a smaller or smoother toy.
- Symptom: Visible scratch or small chip on the surface: Likely cause: Contact with hard objects during storage or a drop. Corrective action: Inspect carefully. If the chip is sharp or the scratch is deep, stop using the toy immediately—it can cause micro-tears. If it's a minor surface mark, you can continue with extra caution. When in doubt, replace the toy. Glass can't be repaired safely.
