If you’ve been into sex toys for a while, you probably immediately think of the user-friendly silicone options that are all the rage now when you’re in the market for something new. Or, if you’re on a shoestring budget, you might opt for an equally familiar, less expensive option that you know is still body-safe, like plastic.
Glass might not be on your radar at all, which is understandable. When most people think of glass items, they picture fragile figurines or delicate drinkware, not anything that needs to be really durable, like a sex toy. However, glass toys can be game-changers when it comes to your pleasure routine, so they’re well worth a second look. Here’s a closer look at why.
Glass toys are incredibly durable.
Most people who shy away from buying a dildo, probe, or other sex toy made of glass feel that way because they think all glass is delicate, fragile, and extremely easy to break – naturally, not qualities you’d want in a sex toy. However, you should know that glass sex toys are actually made of tempered glass that’s designed to be incredibly durable.
As a result, glass sex toys are highly resistant to chipping, cracking, or any other weaknesses you might associate with glass. In other words, they’re built to last. It’s also not unusual for toy collectors to have a favorite glass toy for an entire lifetime, making such options an excellent fit for people who want their toys to go the distance.
Glass toys are stimulating.
The art of glass crafting allows glassmakers to create a nearly endless variety of different designs, textures, and options for even the most discriminating toy lovers. Glass toys can come attached to graceful curves or unique twists. They can easily be enhanced by ridges, nubs, bumps, swirls, and other unique textures designed to awaken your every nerve ending.
Plus, the sleek, elegant feel of even untextured glass feels unlike anything else against your delicate skin, so it’s a great choice for anyone who’s into using toys to explore unusual, unique, or intriguing new sensations.
Glass is excellent for exploring temperature play.
Playing with temperature can be a great way to explore your body and learn more about what it’s really capable of when it comes to experiencing pleasure. But doing this safely and wisely with most sex toys can be challenging at best. On the other hand, Glass was positively built for this, and it’s easy to get started, too.
Just fill a temperature-safe bowl with cold or warm water and let your glass toy sit in it long enough to adapt to that same temperature. That’s all it takes for it to be ready to tease, please, and satisfy every last one of your body’s hungry nerve endings. Try running a cold glass toy over the nipples or the insides of the thighs for a delicious jolt, or use a warmed toy to treat yourself to a genuinely natural-feeling pleasure experience.
Glass is super easy to take care of.
Like plastic, metal, and other similar materials, glass is 100 percent body-safe, so you never have to worry about your glass toys harming your sexual health or causing any nasty surprise reactions. You can use it as often as you like with total confidence, both on yourself and any partners with whom you might decide to share your fun.
And glass couldn’t be easier to clean, either. You can sanitize and wash it just as easily as you would any of your glass dinnerware, including in the dishwasher if you like. Plain soap and water are all it takes to get the job done, so it’s easier than ever to maintain a regular cleaning routine. (Ideally, toys should be cleaned after every use to keep them hygienic.)
Glass is beautifully approachable.
If you’re new to sex toys or want to try toy play with a partner who’s a little bashful about playing with a toy for the first time, glass is an excellent fit for your needs. Even the most representative glass sex toys can easily be mistaken for an elegant piece of decorative art, so they don’t necessarily give you that “yeah, that’s a sex toy” impression. This makes them easy to fall in love with and become more curious about.
In fact, some people love their glass toys so much, they choose not to hide them away when they’re done playing. Instead, they keep them on display in their bedrooms or an out-of-the-way corner of their home. Think of it as a naughty little secret only you (and perhaps your partner) are in on.
So if you’ve never tried a glass sex toy on for size, it’s definitely time you changed that. You’re sure to be thrilled that you did.
