Pyrex toys get a lot of unnecessary flack for misconceptions about the material, temperature, firmness, and of course, safety. Strangely enough, all of these are the exact reasons you may want a DreamGlass pleasure object as your next intimate purchase!
First of all, it's important to understand that some companies may try to pass off items made from other types of glass (including soda lime glass), which is not as safe or sterilizable. Lovedreamer's entire DreamGlass collection is made from Pyrex, or borosilicate glass, which is a medical-grade glass that has a different chemical construction that every-day glass. Pyrex is non-porous, shatter-resistant, and 7 times stronger than traditional glass, even at hot or cold temperatures. Pyrex is used in the medical community for hip and joint replacements, cochlear implants, and implantable drug pumps, as well as laboratory beakers and test tubes. Pyrex can be found in your home in the form of measuring cups and bakeware for their durability and ability to withstand a wide range of temperatures, from freezer to oven, microwave to dishwasher.
But they are made out of Glass, I'm afraid it will break!
You will never have to worry about your DreamGlass breaking in the bedroom during play. As an example, it would take over 1500 lbs of pressure to 'snap' a design with a 1" diameter, which is impossible to do with the human body!! Materials that can break Pyrex are items with a higher density, like ceramic, granite, cement, steel, or other Pyrex items. Even if it was to fall onto one of these surfaces, Pyrex has the quality of snapping like a carrot versus splintering or shattering into pieces.
Lovedreamer has exclusive designs, so if an accident ever happens where your DreamGlass snaps when dropped, travel, etc, simply take a photograph and email us your details, or bring it in-store. Our lifetime replacement warranty will have a new one shipped out to you in no time. We know it was an accident that didn't happen with normal use, and our warranty makes allowance for that.
I can't imagine using Pyrex, it's so cold!
Pyrex was designed to withstand both freezing and boiling temperatures without damage, so you can warm it up to just the right temperature running it under warm water, or embrace temperature play with thermal mugs of warm and ice water by the bedside. Temperature change is quick, about 60 seconds, and will not affect the lifetime strength of your DreamGlass, even with repeat play. Imagine having a non-melting 'ice cold' toy to tease & tittilate your lover's skin all over, then a few moments later, a warm sensual dildo for play!
Note: Do not use your freezer or microwave to change the toy's temperature for play: these extremes are too severe for your delicate insides.
Pyrex toys are so hard, I can't imagine how they could feel good!
Think of DreamGlass as firm instead of hard. Firm like your lover's fingers or other appendages! Pyrex being firm is a good thing: it allows for texture, shape, and pressure. Aside from being visually appealing, the swirls, ridges, and bumps all have a specific textures that often mimic traditional sexual interaction. For instance, a large corkscrew swirl will often feel like repeat entry, ridges can feel like veins or french ticklers, and bumps feel like slippery knuckles.
The rigid shape is designed to follow your contours, Pyrex can be shaped to serve many sexual functions and can create toys with a specific but not singular purpose. Although a toy may be designed for G-spot, it can be used for external clitoral stimulation, anal play, P-spot massage, and the list goes on. The heft and firmness of Pyrex makes it ideal for providing the pressure that G-spot and P-spot play often require for mind-blowing results. It goes exactly where you want it to, and can provide endless pressure to add to your pleasure.
But do I have to buy special lubricant?
You are not limited by the type of lube you can use, as Pyrex is compatible with every type: water-based, silicone, oil-based, or hybrid. Being non-porous, DreamGlass does not absorb any lube, so you use less lube but they still feel completely frictionless and glide effortlessly.
Pyrex is all about Safety.
Pyrex is one of the most safe materials to use in the bedroom because it was designed to be body-safe, sterilzable, and free of any substance that could leech into your body. DreamGlass will not chip or stain because of its non-porous surface. When cleaned properly with antibacterial soap & warm water (or boiling water to sterilize), your Pyrex toy will not harbour bacteria, lube, and other undesirables on its surface.
In addition, Pyrex glass is hypoallergenic, which is ideal for those with latex allergies or sensitive skin. Its function is only matched by its beauty, as the DreamGlass designs, colours and details will never fade or degrade over time.
Here at Lovedreamer, we strive to provide sexual education as well as great intimates for the bedroom. Never hesitate to ask us anything about our DreamToys or any products we carry.
