Icicles: the hand-blown glass sex toy

Icicles holds a place of its own in the sex-toy world. While most brands work with silicone or ABS, Icicles made a radical choice: glass, hand-blown, piece by piece, with a model numbering that doubles as visual signature. Number 07 stands for one specific design, 43 for another, 73 for another — each reference is unique in its shape.

The brand's spirit comes down to one idea: treat a sex toy as a lasting quality object rather than a consumable. A glass piece doesn't age, doesn't degrade chemically, and keeps its original look for years. It's an investment, in a logic different from a classic silicone toy.

Glass, as a sex-toy material, has specific qualities no other material matches: even glide, perfect hygiene, full compatibility with every kind of lubricant, and the ability to be tempered (warm or cool) for temperature play silicone simply can't offer.

Why this brand suits noble-material enthusiasts

Many users reach glass after trying silicone and technical plastics, looking for a different tactile experience. Glass is rigid — that's its nature — so it transmits sensations directly, without cushioning. That precision changes the game for G-spot or P-spot work, where angle and firmness matter.

Icicles also stands out aesthetically: textured or sharply curved models are worked as craft pieces, not just functional objects. Each has its number, its own design, and can be stored as a decorative object as much as a sex toy. It's that hybrid status — useful, beautiful, durable — that builds the brand's loyal audience.

What's in the Icicles collection?

The Icicles selection at Tentations covers the main uses of glass sex toys through the brand's own numbering.

Textured glass dildos (No. 07)

The classic Icicles dildo plays on glass textures — spirals, ridges, bumps — to add a textured dimension to penetration. Glass rigidity transmits those textures with no cushioning, creating a stimulation very different from smooth or ribbed silicone. Suits the G-spot in women and anal use for experienced users (no safety base — see precautions).

Glass anal plugs (No. 25, No. 73)

Icicles anal plugs feature a widened safety base, essential for any anal toy. Glass brings a particular advantage here: exceptional glide with any lubricant, a presence-in-place very different from silicone (denser, more settled), and full compatibility with temperature play. Two distinct profiles in the offered range.

Glass G-spot wand (No. 43)

No. 43 is a wand curved specifically to reach the G-spot. The rigidity of glass is a real asset here: it transmits pressure exactly where intended, where a softer toy would cushion the effort. Once the zone is found, slow and precise movements are enough — precision matters more than power.

Numbering as signature

Every Icicles model carries its own number — No. 07, No. 25, No. 43, No. 73, and many more across the whole catalogue. The logic has a double effect: it lets you find your way precisely through a varied collection, and gives each piece an almost-collectible status. You talk about "the No. 43" as a unique reference, not as an interchangeable product.

Hand-blown glass: a craft signature

Each Icicles piece comes from hand-blowing work, which means slight variations between examples (typical of glasswork craft). These variations aren't defects but the signature of handwork — much like a hand-blown drinking glass in tableware or décor.

Glass sex toys: quality, safety, durability

Glass is a demanding material to handle, but it offers specific advantages. A few points of attention to enjoy an Icicles over time:

• Impeccable hygiene. Glass is non-porous: it holds neither odours nor bacteria. Wash with hot soapy water or in the dishwasher (top rack, no harsh detergent). Glass even tolerates boiling water for occasional sterilisation.
• Temperature play. Glass's great strength: dipping the toy for a few minutes in a bowl of cool or warm water before use dramatically shifts the sensation. Avoid sharp thermal swings (going straight from hot to cold) that weaken the glass.
• Works with all lubricants. Glass doesn't interact with water, silicone, hybrid or oil-based lubricants. The only truly "universal" material at that level.
• Inspect before each use. Visual check of the piece: no chips, no micro-cracks, no bubbles near the surface. A cracked glass toy must be retired from use immediately.
• Protected storage. Keep in a soft pouch or the original box, away from hard surfaces that could cause an impact. Icicles glass is designed to last, but it's still a material that breaks if dropped.

With those simple precautions, an Icicles toy lasts for years without changing look or performance — a longevity no silicone toy can promise.
