Quick answer
Use the Icicles No. 69 glass dildo safely by inspecting it before each use, cleaning with mild soap and warm water, and gradually adjusting temperature for play.
Why glass requires different care than silicone
Glass dildos like the Icicles No. 69 are nonporous and body-safe, but they can chip or crack if dropped or knocked against hard surfaces. Unlike silicone, glass does not absorb lubricant or odors, making it easy to clean, but it also lacks flexibility. Always handle your glass toy over a soft surface, and store it separately from harder materials to avoid scratches.
Temperature play with glass
One of the biggest advantages of glass toys is their ability to hold temperature. The Icicles No. 69 can be warmed in a bowl of warm water or cooled in the refrigerator for a few minutes before use. Never boil or microwave glass toys, and avoid extreme temperature changes that could cause thermal shock. Test the temperature on your inner wrist before applying to sensitive areas.
How to care for and use your Icicles No. 69 glass dildo
- Inspect before use: Hold the Icicles No. 69 up to a bright light and slowly rotate it. Look for any chips, cracks, or rough spots. A common mistake is assuming glass is always perfect; even hand-blown glass can develop micro-fractures over time.
- Clean thoroughly: Wash the toy with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap, or use a dedicated toy cleaner. Rinse completely. A common mistake is using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that can dull the surface. Glass is nonporous, so it does not need boiling, but a quick wipe with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution is safe for deeper sanitization. Always dry the toy with a lint-free cloth before storage.
- Lubricate and warm up: Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the toy and your body. Glass has no give, so start with gentle external stimulation before attempting insertion. A common mistake is using too little lube, which can cause discomfort. If you want temperature play, submerge the toy in warm (not hot) water for 3-5 minutes, or place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes for a cool sensation. Test the temperature on your inner wrist before use.
- Use with care: Insert slowly and listen to your body. The Icicles No. 69's smooth, rigid surface provides intense G-spot or P-spot stimulation. A common mistake is thrusting too quickly; glass does not absorb shock, so controlled movements are safer and more pleasurable. Reapply lubricant as needed.
- Clean again after use: Wash the toy immediately with warm water and soap, just as you did before use. A common mistake is delaying cleaning, which allows fluids to dry and become harder to remove. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth.
- Store properly: Place the Icicles No. 69 in a padded pouch or a dedicated compartment away from other toys. A common mistake is tossing it loose in a drawer where it can bump against metal or silicone toys, increasing the risk of chips. Glass is durable but not indestructible. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
