Why is Glass a Gold standard Sex Toy Material?

I know the thought of a glass sex toy sounds scary, even possibly harmful, but your glass toy is probably the safest and most enjoyable sex toy you could own. 

Wikipedia describes glass dildos and vibrators as “non-toxic, non-porous, durable and visually appealing”.  In other words, they are 100% body safe, safe for those with allergies or sensitivities, and no germs are going to be having a party and causing you unwanted attention as nothing, and I mean nothing, is going to get inside your new glass toy. 

No other material plays the temperature game like glass either.  Don’t boil or freeze however… you would be in for a shock.  Just cool and warm your toy gently and explore a whole new range of exciting sensations.

Not only are they gorgeous, durable and can last a lifetime …  they are RECYCLABLE.  OMG, so they are a complete guilt-free, pleasure-giving, work of art!  Sextoyrecycling.com says “Glass or metal sex toys are eco-friendly”.  So, without even really being aware while you are whisked away in your orgasm, you are being good to the planet as well as yourself!  Gold Stars All Round.

Let’s recap on Glass Sex Toys:

• Non-porous ✔
• 100% Body Safe ✔
• Recyclable ✔
• Gorgeous to look at ✔
• Great with Temperature Play ✔
• Totally Hot Warm and Totally Cool ✔

Don’t take my word for it however, three of the best sex toy reviewers had this to say about glass for and as a great sex toy material:

Black Silk: "The thing about glass is that it is both effortlessly beautiful and effortless. It looks gorgeous, but my personal favourite thing is feeling that cool hardness slide inside. Heaven. It glides smoothly and needs very little lubrication, which makes it great for penetration. And, when you're done, cleaning and care is a breeze. Don't worry about fragility either, it's made from tough stuff and I've dropped my favourite glass toy from a height to a hard floor with no damage at all."

Nymphomaniac Ness: "Glass is excellent for temperature play; simply heat or cool the toy under water. Glass will retain its temperature better than plastic and silicones. Glass toys are often perfect for G-spot stimulation, as the G-spot needs to have firm pressure applied to it to produce an orgasm. As well as being a functional pleasure object, most glass toys are beautifully designed and appear relatively discreet. Glass toys are very tough, and can even survive being dropped. I’ve only ever had one break before, and this was due to a manufacturing error. It is best to inspect glass toys before use for any hairline fractures, especially if they’ve taken a hard knock. It’s very easy to clean and can be sterilised. Most glass toys can be placed in the dishwasher to clean them too."

Midnight Boudoir: “I personally love the smooth, natural slippyness of the glass, a beautiful comparison to the grippyness of silicon (and some other sextoy materials), which I always need to add lube.  When warmed up under warm to hot running water and inserted I went to heaven.  The heat makes me more sensitive and my orgasms are more intense and my OH loves to follow and enjoy the warmth too.

Some people are nervous of inserting glass but most glass toys can take a lot before breaking so don't worry. They are specially toughened in pyrex or similar and can withhold 3000lbs of pressure.

I'm a self-confessed glassaholic and enjoy collecting as many different sizes, shapes and colours as I can. I cannot state it strongly enough - if you haven’t tried glass...TRY ONE NOW!"
