Common Misconceptions about Glass sex toys
Glass sex toys are by far one of the products we recieve the most questions about. To address your concerns and curiosities, we’ll get to the most common misconceptions and questions about them below.
Is Your Glass Sex Toys Truly Safe?
Yes, your glass sex toy is safe, depending on where you buy them from. glass sex toys made from reputable notable companies are made out of pyrex glass (the same indestructible stuff your bakeware is made from), otherwise known as borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass (Pyrex) is very durable, can withstand greater temperatures, and be used without chipping, cracking, or breaking. If you buy glass toys from adult novelty stores and from notable brands those will be perfectly safe for you to use. Great examples are companies like Pipedream, Please Toys, Adore U, Nobu, and Jopen.
However, like everything else, you can always find cheaper options on Amazon, Wish, AliExpress, or other quick drop-ship sellers. For your safety, we do not suggest using glass sex toys from these places. In the adult novelty industry there are very little rules and regulations for products and what they can be made out of because they are not regulated in the way, for example, plastics in baby toys are. There unfortunately isn’t a governing body dedicating themselves to the regulation of sex toys that we put inside our bodies (although if there was I would definitely volunteer!). As a result, these products could be made from any kind of glass which may not be durable or heat resistance, and may crack, chip, or break during use.
Always buy your glass toys from reputable sources with warrantied products and years of experience in the adult industry.
Will Glass Sex Toys Break Inside of Me?
No, your glass sex toys will not break inside of you! A great question that many of you are too polite to ask, but are definitely thinking. As mentioned previously, if your toy has been purchased from a reputable source and is made from borosilicate glass, it is safe and durable and will be perfectly safe to use. However, your toy is still pyrex glass, if you drop it on the floor or against a hard surface it may break.
Safety Tips:
- Before use always check your glass toy for chips, cracks, or sharp edges. Sometimes it’s easier to do this with your hands instead of just your eyes.
- If your toy has had a great fall, just like humpty dumpty, do not try to put it back together again.
- Any chipped or cracked toys are no longer safe and should be repurposed as beautiful decor.
What’s Special and Unique about glass sex toys? Are they fun?
Definitely! We can’t rave enough about them! As you may have seen, glass toys come in so many different unique shapes with a variety of textures to choose from. They are stunning, and some are so ambiguous you really could use them as decor. Some key factors that set glass aside from other sex toys are:
- Shape: Glass toys come in so many different shapes. Whether you are looking for something g-spot shaped, curved or straight, skinny or thick, phallic, or even like a flower, you’ll find it in glass.
- Texture: Because of the firmness of glass, it’s wide variety of textures be it beaded, swirled, ridged, or even it’s smoothness translate extremely well. You will feel every bump, edge, or curve, or you can luxuriate in the smoothest toys on the market.
- Temperature Play: Glass is very conductive of heat or cold, so it’s perfect for bringing new sensations into the bedroom. Before use, put your class toy in the fridge (we don’t recommend the freezer) or in a bowl of warm water to heat it up or cool it down. You won’t regret it!
- Weight: Usually overlooked, the weight of glass toys really adds to the experience and can even feel more realistic than other toys as a result. Glass is much heavier than most sex toys and as a result during penetration can really add that extra “oomph!”
- Firmness: With glass you never have to fear limp dick again. The firmness of glass toys can be extremely pleasurable when searching for perfect g-spot/p-spot stimulation (or even for squirting!) and is a really great tool to use during massage to pinpoint stressed muscles.
- ANY LUBE ANY TIME: Glass is compatible with ANY lubricant! Use your favourite silicone, water-based, hybrid, or any other kinds of lubricants. Glass is non-reactive with any of these as it is completely non-porous and is safe to use even with oils, lotions, you name it!
What Types of glass sex toys Are there?
- Dildos: The majority of glass sex toys are dildos. Dildos is just the word for any non-vibrating sex toy designed mainly for penetration. They come in a wide variety of styles, shapes, and sizes. Dildos can be used vaginally or anally, but if they do not have a base keep a good grip on them during anal play.
- Butt Plugs: Glass butt plugs are designed for safe anal play specifically as they will have a wide base at the bottom wider than any part of the insertable portion of the toy. This ensures that they will not be “lost” during play.
- Vibrating Glass: It’s real! Vibrating glass does exist and it’s an exciting way to blend all of your favourite sensations into one amazing toy. Glass is an amazing conductor of vibration as it is very stiff and translates the vibrations held against it instantly. If you have a glass dildo that doesn’t vibrate, consider adding a strong vibrating cock ring to enjoy a whole new ride!
How Do I Clean and Disinfect glass sex toys?
Glass Sex Toys are some of the easiest toys to clean and are among some of the safest and most hypoallergenic materials for those with skin sensitivities. When we talk about what makes a material safe in regards to sex toys, we’re typically talking about how porous it is. Pores, like the ones on your face, are in some types of toy materials like TPE, UR3, and non-abs plastics and even through multiple washes can collect bacteria in them. Glass is one of the safest materials and easiest to clean because glass is an entirely non-porous material with the same going for stainless steel toys as well.
To clean your glass sex toys all you have to do is before and after use, rinse with water and a toy cleaner or unscented gentle soap. You could use dish soap or scented soap if you wanted, but those can leave residues that may irritate your sensitive erogenous zones or upset your body's natural ph. We recommend washing before use as your glass sex toys (or any other sex toy) can collect dust when not in use. After washing, we recommend leaving it out to dry on a towel or non lint or dust producing surface, and when dry store it safe in a microfiber toy bag to avoid excess dust collection on your toy and to prevent any falls or damage to the toy.
