Glass dildos are smooth, firm and long-lasting, and they have a loyal following for good reason. This guide covers what makes glass different, how to choose a good one and how to look after it.
Why choose glass
- Non-porous: glass does not absorb moisture or bacteria, so it is easy to clean thoroughly.
- Works with any lubricant: water-based, silicone-based and oil-based lubricants are all fine on glass.
- Temperature play: glass holds warmth or coolness, so you can run it under warm or cool water first.
- Firm and smooth: it gives a different sensation from softer materials.
What to look for
Look for glass that is described as borosilicate or toy-grade, with a smooth, seamless finish and no sharp edges. Check each product page for the glass type, dimensions and any weight limits. Choose a flared base or handle if the toy is for anal use.
Safety
- Inspect the toy before every use. If you see a chip, crack or rough spot, throw it away.
- Test the temperature on your wrist before use, and never heat glass in a microwave.
- Avoid dropping it or knocking it against hard surfaces.
- Use plenty of lubricant and go slowly.
Cleaning and storage
Wash with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner, rinse well and dry. Store it in a soft pouch so it cannot knock against other items.
