What is not ideal about it? With a circumference of 5.9 inches, the Luminous Glass Dildo is definitely not for everyone. This is one of the wider glass dildos on our list. So, even though it looks beautiful, take a minute to think if you’re ready for such a thick toy.
While many glass dildos are marketed for both men and women, the Gläs Pure Indulgence Glass Anal Dildo is all about the prostate gland. With an insertable length of 7.5 inches and a circumference of 6.25 inches at the head, this is a huge glass dildo.
This is not a glass dildo for beginners. The large head is the first part of the toy that is inserted, which can take a lot to get used to. However, experienced users will marvel at its design. The curved design is made to target your prostate gland for amazing pleasure.

While it is capable of hitting a G-spot of prostate gland, you may need to maneuver it a bit to reach those areas.
Why is it special? The Icicles Swirl Dildo is gorgeous to look at. The accented blue color not only enhances the design, but it works as a pleasure enhancer, as well. The size and circumference make it a nice choice for both beginners and experienced users, making it quite the versatile glass dildo.
What are the flaws? The Icicles Swirl Dildo can reach your favorite places, but it takes a bit more effort to do so. The lack of a prominent curve means you have to do a bit more work to either find the G-spot or prostate gland. Furthermore, the blue glass accents are nice, but a bit thick, so it takes a bit of getting used to.
Things to Consider
tThose looking to add a bit of excitement to the bedroom will be in the market for a glass dildo. There are so many amazing designs that it can be hard to choose just one. Still, using a glass dildo isn’t for everyone. While they are safe, they are rigid, and it can take a lot of practice to get used to it and enjoy it. Before you purchase a glass dildo, get all the information you need from our buyer’s guide.
Features to consider when choosing a glass dildo
A glass dildo is a unique sex toy. It is fun and elegant, and there are many types of them. While you may have narrowed your search down to glass dildos, it can be hard to decide on which one you want. Take a look at these features to understand what you can expect from a glass dildo.
Safe glass used
Glass dildos can be intimidating. Afterall, should you really be putting glass into your most sensitive areas? However, glass dildos are made from glass that is extremely tough. Most glass dildos are made from borosilicate glass. Not only is this material durable, but it won’t break due to temperature changes.
However, to give yourself peace of mind, and just to be safe, it’s always recommended to inspect your glass dildo before use. Keep it clean and in a protected box so no cracks will form.
Borosilicate glass is also nice because you can heat it up or cool it down. Temperature play provides an extra element with glass dildos. You can heat your dildo up in hot water and not worry about the glass’s structure. Likewise, if you want to run it under cold water, you don’t have to worry about the temperature change once it warms up.
Glass dildos are safe to be used. Just check to see what material they are made of and inspect them before each use.
Insertable and overall length
There are two types of length to consider with glass dildos, and these are the insertable and the overall length. The insertable length measures how far inside you the dildo can go. The overall length includes what remains outside, also referred to as the handle.
Longer isn’t always better, and instead maneuverability might be what you want to look for. The Luminous Glass Dildo has an insertable length of 10 inches, but because the handle is just an extension of the inserted part, you can completely control how far in you place the dildo. It gives you total control of placement.
The Lovehoney Tentacle Textured Sensual Glass Dildo has a total length of 6 inches but only has an insertable length of 4.5 inches. If you know from experience that a longer length is desired, then this may not be the right product for you.
Really pay attention to how much of the glass dildo you’re able to hold onto, especially if you plan on engaging in solo play. If you are using a short glass dildo and there is only a half an inch to hold onto, then you may not be able to reach all the areas you’d like to.
However, also take into consideration the design. For those using a glass dildo for vaginal stimulation, you will want a shorter dildo. This is because the base should be placed against your clitoris. If the dildo is too long and you can’t insert the full length, then its design won’t be as effective.
Diameter/circumference
When it comes to all types of dildos, you want to be comfortable with how large it is. However, this is especially true of glass dildos. Because of their material, there is absolutely no give. What you see is what you get, and it can take a lot of work and patience, and definitely lube to insert a glass dildo.
The one thing to note about circumference is that the widest measurement is listed. This is often the tip of the dildo. So, you can usually expect that only part of your glass dildo will be as wide as listed. This may alleviate some fears about this measurement.
If it’s suitable for anal use
All of the glass dildos on our list are suitable for anal use. Most can also be used for vaginal purposes, as well. Do to its large, 6.25-inch circumference, the Gläs Pure Indulgence Glass Anal Dildo is marketed primarily for anal use. However, there are comments that women have engaged with it, as well.
One of the benefits of using a glass dildo is that you can use any type of lube you want. The glass isn’t porous or reactive. Be sure to take advantage of this and use enough lube for maximum pleasure.
Like all dildos, you may want to start with a non-textured glass dildo for anal use to start with. Also, choose one that is easier to insert. The Crystal Heart Wavy Glass Dildo has a flared base, making it easier to insert.
Textured shaft
Most people prefer some texture on their dildo, but with a glass dildo, you do need to be careful. Textured glass is harder and more unforgiving. It can take a lot to get used to and sometimes may be painful if not enough lube is used.
If you’re just starting out with a glass dildo, a smooth one is recommended. A product like the Luminous Glass Dildo allows you to ease your way into this arena and allows you to control what is happening.
If you want texture but are a bit hesitant, then a happy medium is the Crystal Heart Wavy Glass Dildo. It has waves, or bumps in its design. These allow for you to control the placement, and because there are no ridges, it leads to a smoother feeling.
Realistic/unrealistic design
Glass dildos can become quite creative when it comes to design. Unlike regular dildos and vibrators, glass dildos are a lot more elegant, simply because of their material. There are some glass dildos, such as the Lovehoney Realistic Textured Sensual Glass Dildo and even the Icicles Swirl Dildo, that are rather realistic.
However, there are plenty of products that are quite creative. For example, the Lovehoney Tentacle Textured Sensual Glass Dildo is made to look like an octopus tentacle. The Luminous Glass Dildo might have a bulbous head, but its long, wavy design makes it seem more like a paperweight.
The amazing aspect of the design of glass dildos is that they incorporate pleasure parts into the structure. For example, the Lovehoney Tentacle Textured Sensual Glass Dildo has a curved tentacle base that is made to rub against the clitoris.
Sometimes glass dildos use their construction in subtle ways. The Crystal Heart Wavy Glass Dildo has three waves along the shaft but it’s the glass heart on the handle that is truly unique. If you need a gift idea for your partner, this is definitely one way to say “I love you.”
The nice thing about glass dildos is that you can use any type or lubricants with them. Unlike other materials, which are porous, glass isn’t. Therefore you can use both water and silicone-based lube.
You would clean a glass dildo just as you would any other type of sex toy. Either use warm soapy water or a special sex toy cleaner. One fun fact is that because of the non-porous material, glass dildos can actually be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Glass dildos should be made from borosilicate glass. Not only is this glass extremely durable, but it is temperature-responsive. Simply run your glass dildo under hot or cold water to change the temperature.
