How to Use a Glass Dildo & Are Glass Dildos Safe?

Last Updated on March 10, 2023

You won’t forget the first time you set your eyes on a glass dildo. These aren’t just functional sex toys. They are truly works of art. They are blown by artists and swirled with color, just like a piece of glass artwork that you may have in your home.

Of course, if you’re nervous about trying a glass dildo for yourself, you’re not alone. Many people are fearful that they might break, many wonder if the are even safe to use. Others wonder what’s so special about these popular sex toys before shopping online for the best glass dildo. Once your new package arrives on your doorstep, you'll be well versed with tips & techniques on how to get the most of your sexual experience with your new glass dildo toy.

What is a Glass Dildo?

Obviously, a glass dildo is a sex toy constructed of solid, shatterproof glass similar to Pyrex. That part is self-explanatory. Still, many people have some misperceptions about glass sex toys.

For example, we’re often asked if they are breakable, or if they will cause injury. The answer is no. As long as you purchase a quality glass dildo from a reputable maker, you’ll be fine.

Glass dildos & sex toys are strong, heavy objects, that are made from fortified glass, in many cases what you would find in Pyrex glassware. It takes more to break one of these than simply dropping it. Glass toys are entirely solid for safety.

Glass butt plugs are designed for anal use. They can be shaped like the typical butt plug, or have a shaft more similar to that of a wand or probe. Men use them for prostate stimulation, women use them to enhance G Spot stimulation during intercourse.

As a result, you'll instantly notice that a glass dildo or glass butt plug feels heavy and substantial in your hand. Compared to a silicone dildo, which is well known to be heavier than jelly or rubber for example, glass is much bulkier. This is the solid Borosilicate structure that also makes it safe to use. So then let's move on to the million dollar question:

Are Glass Dildos Safe?

When you drop a drinking glass on the floor, it shatters into a million pieces. When you drop a Pyrex measuring cup on the floor, it bounces and rolls and remains undamaged.

Glass dildos are made of the same compound as the indestructible Pyrex measuring cup. They are made of solid, pure and sturdy Borosilicate glass which is cured to be solid, crack-proof and most importantly, shatterproof which is why glass dildos are safe to use.

Why Choose a Glass Dildo Over Other Dildos?

A glass dildo has some serious advantages over your other different types of dildos. The biggest benefits come in four areas:

1. Safety And Cleanliness

Glass is nonporous, temperature resistant, washable, and body-safe. There’s really nothing better when it comes to sanitation. A glass dildo is easy to clean, and won’t harbor harmful bacteria.

You can wash yours in hot water, and most are dishwasher safe. Boil yours to achieve the ultimate level of clean.

Finally, glass dildos are lube friendly. You can use your lubricant of choice, and it will work fine. No need to worry about a lube staining or damaging your toy, unlike other materials.

2. Great Aesthetics

Have we mentioned how stunning these things are? Imagine a clear glass dildo that resembles crystal. Its outside is textured with ridges that are very functional, but also showcases the artist’s talents.

What about something a bit more whimsical like this one with a ribbed shaft, G spot curve or bumpy texture? Maybe you wouldn’t display one of these in your living room, but they do add a touch of class and sophistication where a plastic dildo might not.

3. Sexual Performance

Don’t forget the most important part. Glass dildos lead to extreme pleasure. Your search for sex toys online is complete after a visit to the glass sex toys category. There are a few reasons why.

4. They Are Ideally Weighted

Glass dildos tend to be much heavier than other toys. That means they feel amazing in your hand, and inside you. Whether you prefer G-spot, C-spot, or P-spot, you’ll get the stimulation and pressure you need. What’s really cool is that the weighted feel really adds to the high class feel of things.

Great news! When it comes to care and cleanliness, this may be the easiest sex toy you own. First, inspect your toy carefully when you get it. If there are any chips or cracks, don’t use it! Contact the store to let them know, and arrange a replacement.

Now it’s time for the initial cleaning. In most cases, you can boil your dildo to kill any germs. They are also top rack dishwasher safe. Also check out my prior guide teaching clients the best way to clean a dildo.

Because glass isn’t porous, you can use any cleaner you prefer. Then, towel dry with lint-free cloth. After that, you can wash with antibacterial soap and hot water between uses. Use the dishwasher or boil it again when you need spotless power.

When you handle your glass dildo, please be a bit careful. They won’t shatter easily, but they aren’t completely unbreakable. Just use some common sense.

If you do drop your toy on a hard surface, check it for signs of breaking or cracking. Never use a glass dildo if you don’t feel safe. Instead, choose a new toy to try out!
