Learn how to clean, store, and safely enjoy temperature play with your glass dildo. Tips for borosilicate glass toys like Icicles No. 29 and No. 7.
Quick answer
Clean your glass dildo with mild soap and warm water or a toy cleaner before and after each use. Store it in a padded pouch or separate compartment to prevent chips. For temperature play, warm or cool the toy gradually in water—never boil or freeze it.
Why glass dildos need special care
Glass dildos like the Icicles No. 29 and No. 7 are made from borosilicate glass, which is durable and non-porous, but they can chip or crack if dropped on a hard surface. Proper care ensures they stay smooth and safe for years.
Temperature play is a unique benefit of glass toys—they can be warmed or cooled for different sensations. However, extreme temperature changes can stress the glass, so gradual adjustment is key.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I clean a glass dildo?
- Wash with mild soap and warm water, or use a dedicated toy cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth. For deeper sanitization, wipe with 70% isopropyl alcohol or boil for 5 minutes (only if the toy is 100% borosilicate glass with no attachments). Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the glass.
- How should I store my glass dildo?
- Store in a padded pouch, a dedicated toy box with dividers, or wrap it in a soft cloth. Keep it separate from silicone toys to avoid dust attraction. Never store with heavy objects on top. A padded pouch prevents chips and scratches during travel or drawer storage.
- Can I use my glass dildo for temperature play?
- Yes. For a warm sensation, soak the toy in warm (not boiling) water for 5–10 minutes. For a cool sensation, place it in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes—never the freezer, as extreme cold can cause brittleness. Always test the temperature on your wrist first. Avoid rapid temperature changes to prevent micro-cracks.
- Is borosilicate glass safe for temperature play?
- Borosilicate glass (like that used in Icicles toys) is more resistant to thermal shock than regular glass, but it is not unbreakable. Always warm or cool gradually and inspect for chips before each use. If you see any chips or cracks, discard the toy immediately.
