Glass sex toys have a certain sleekness and high-end aesthetic to them which makes them really attractive for sex toy enthusiasts – they’re like pieces of sexy modern art that can conveniently fit inside you.
It’s no wonder the best glass dildos are so popular.
We touched on glass toys in our best dildos guide and our best butt plugs guide, but here we’re going to dive into glass sex toys and tell you our favourite glass dildos. We’ll also give you some advice and safety 101 for glass toys.
Let’s get to it!
The Pineapple Plug by Crystal Delights
The best glass dildos have a ton of advantages over silicone dildos. They’re hypoallergenic, non-porous, easy to clean, temperature-responsive, and compatible with all types of lube.
Here are our faves.
It’s like f*cking a sexy window
This glass dildo has a design reminiscent of “realistic” silicone dildos, featuring a real penis shape and a textured shaft along with a base similar to veins.
If you’re a big fan of these realistic-shaped dildos but you like the hypoallergenic and lube-universal qualities of glass toys, then this is the perfect middle ground for you.
With a flared base and a whopping 7 inches to play with, this is great for both vaginal and anal play!
Personally, I’m not keen on the glass “veins” on the shaft because it makes it harder to insert, but some people are really into that added texture.
PROS: Large 7 inches, safe for anal use
CONS: Textured shaft isn’t entirely realistic
Probably the prettiest anal beads ever made.
This glass anal beads dildo from LoveHoney comes with a unique iridescent design that makes it fun to look at, as well as put inside your butt. The loop handle stops the toy slipping inside your bottom and makes it easy to pull them out when you’re done, which can be tricky with anal toys!
With an insertable length of 6 inches, this glass dildo is NOT for the feint of heart, especially with the beaded glass dildo design. Still, if you’re a fan of the best glass dildos and anal toys, then this one is a no-brainer. Get it inside you!
PROS: Cool iridescent design, Unique glass anal beads shape
CONS: Can be hard to remove after finishing
Swarovski crystal gorgeousness
Safe for both anal and vaginal use, this 6-inch glass dildo comes in a unique “twist” design which is designed to be screwed into your body. It’s definitely not for beginners, but this stunning glass dildo is great for experienced toy users who want to step their pussy up.
The sleek crystal clear glass is topped off with an aurora borealis Swarovski element crystal, so you can rest assured that you’re getting a high-quality and aesthetically pleasing toy.
PROS: Stunning appearance, high-quality construction
CONS: Twist design isn’t for everyone
We all have to start somewhere.
Okay, I say this glass dildo is for beginners, but it is 8.5 inches long. Now, that’s not a beginners length by any means… BUT this cool glass sex toy has a very smooth surface, making it one of the easiest toys to insert and play around with, even if you only insert it halfway.
Made with a slightly curve and bulbous head, this cool glass dildo is perfect for G-spot stimulation (for vaginas) and P-spot stimulation (for prostates). No matter your gender, you’re gonna hit some pleasurable spots with this bad boy. It’s also less than $25, which is nice!
PROS: Smooth design, 8.5 inches of insertable length
CONS: Very heavy (can be awkward to hold)
Large and in charge.
Another one of the best sex glass toys LoveHoney has to offer, this “sensual” beaded glass dildo is a whopping 7 inches of insertable length with a top circumference of 4.25 inches! So yeah, you’ll definitely feel it.
As is the case with most glass sex toys, this product can be “cooled down” or “warmed up” by placing it in cool or warm water before play. This can add some interesting temperature play sensations to your session, making for a completely unique experience that you can’t get with most other sex toy materials.
If you decide to warm up or cool down a glass sex toy, press it against your forearm to make sure the temperature is comfortable before insertion. NEVER freeze, microwave, or place glass adult toys in boiling water.
PROS: 4.25 inches of circumference, pleasurable beaded design
CONS: Color makes it hard to see if it’s clean
One of the strongest and safest glass dildos
This glass dildo comes with a pretty simple, straightforward design and clocks in at a total length of 7 inches, giving you plenty of room to work with.
One of my favorite things about this glass dildo is that it comes with a free storage bag for safekeeping, which is a nice way of keeping the glass in tip-top condition. The Swarovski element crystal on the end is available in various colors, which is always a plus if you’re picky like me.
PROS: Strong borosilicate glass, safe for vaginal and anal use
CONS: Blue Swarovski option has been discontinued
Some glass dildos have a higher risk of breaking than others
I wouldn’t recommend using a cheap glass dildo like this one from Amazon, as there’s a stronger chance that the borosilicate glass isn’t annealed (i.e. it’s probably not as strong), and can crack or break during use.
PROS: Cheap
CONS: Glass quality may be poorer than pricier glass toys
Don’t think that the ass gets left out of all this – oh no. You can’t spell “glass” without “ass”, and there is a whole lot of Pyrex buttplugs and glass anal plugs out there just waiting to be discovered.
The best part? Glass butt plugs are non-porous and easy to clean, so accidental mess is not going to ruin your toy or leave a nasty smell.
Fight cancer AND have butt fun
This glass butt plug from Crystal Delights features a Swarovski crystal element attached to the end, giving it that unique pop of color and sophistication that one comes to expect with glass high quality sex toys. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this butt plug also goes toward fighting cancer via cancer charities, although it’s not clear which charities or how much exactly.
PROS: 2.8-inch length, Swarovski crystal element, portion of proceeds goes toward cancer charities
CONS: Pricey (for a good reason)
Better than glass
Okay, this product is cheating a little, as it’s not actually made of glass (it’s made from ABS plastic). However, it does have a very glass-like appearance, so I’m cheekily including this silicone prostate massager in this list.
Aneros, the company behind this toy, are well-known for making patented prostate toys which naturally manipulate the body into mind-blowing orgasms. This one is no exception, but the large 4.5-inch insertable length and 1.25-inch tip width mean that it’s best suited to more experienced prostate players.
PROS: Large for advanced P-spot stimulation, glass-like look
CONS: Actually made from clear ABS plastic
Gorgeous pineapple-inspired buttplug
Although this is meant to be a pineapple-inspired buttplug, it just seems like something that Ariel would have in her collection of shiny thingamajigs. It’s absolutely gorgeous, coming with a Glacier Blue Rose Swarovski crystal and available in 2 different sizes depending on your preference and experience level. The only downside is that the bumpy exterior isn’t the most comfortable feeling in the world.
PROS: Unique and pretty design, features a Glacier Blue Rose Swarovski crystal
CONS: Shape can be uncomfortable
Absolutely great for roleplay
This glass tail plug is available in different stem lengths and bulb sizes, with the total insertable length ranging from 2.8 to 3.7 inches depending on the combination you go for. The company used to make these glass tail plugs from ethically sourced fox fur, but they recently made the switch to 100% faux fur, so you need not worry about animal cruelty while exploring your kinky fox fantasies!
PROS: 100% faux fur, plug available in different sizes
CONS: Pricey, can be hard to clean
Cheaper glass butt plug
Currently clocking in at less than $30 USD on SheVibe, this is one of the least expensive butt plugs out there. However it is not as well made as other glass toys on the list and has a higher risk of breaking.
PROS: Cheap
CONS: Not properly annealed, higher chance of breaking
It doesn’t just stop at dildos and buttplugs – there are thousands of glass adult toys in all shapes and sizes. Here are a few more glass beauties to get your hands on.
A great naughty Christmas present
If you’re looking to get your partner something naughty this Christmas, why not get them a glass candy cane dildo? It’s 11 inches long and 1 inch in diameter, leaving lots of room for fun. Just beware who you’re buying from though, as some sellers send cheap imitation versions instead of the high-quality real deal.
PROS: 11 inches long, fun design
CONS: Quality control issues
Lemmy would be proud
As a Motörhead fan, I was amazed to stumble across this borosilicate glass sex toy inspired by the song/album “Bomber”. If you hadn’t guessed by now, it’s in the shape of a missile bomb, featuring an insertable length of 5 inches and even a handy little carry bag and stand to present it on. You’ll be the envy of rockers everywhere.
Lemmy is smiling upon us down from Rock heaven (or hell?) right now.
PROS: It’s a Motörhead-themed sex toy
CONS: How can there be anything wrong with a Motörhead-themed sex toy?
Dilate away!
Okay, these aren’t necessarily sex toys, but some women need to use dilators in order to keep their vagina comfortable during sex. These high-quality glass dilators come in various sizes, so there’s bound to be one that fits you, and the non-porous nature of glass means that they’re very easy to clean after use.
PROS: Various sizes available
CONS: Pricey
Ben Wa balls that last a lifetime
If Ben Wa balls (a.k.a Kegel balls) are a regular part of your sex life or just something that you use for health reasons, then these borosilicate glass Ben Wa balls are the kind of thing that’s going to last for a lifetime. They come in a handy little pouch, but are limited to their 1.2-inch diameter size, so consider whether these balls are the right size/weight for you. Annoyingly, they don’t seem to list the weight of them either.
PROS: 1.2 inch diameter, borosilicate glass construction
CONS: One-size-fits-all scenario
Glass is a perfectly safe material to use for sex toys, assuming that you’re buying from a reputable manufacturer. You see, they don’t just use the same type of glass for everything… the glass in your car windows is different from the glass in your casserole dish and the glass in your flower vase. Sure, they all look the same, but they’re strengthened and constructed in different ways.
When you think about glass, you think about something that can shatter. A dropped glass tumbler, a football smashing through a window, that scene from Ghost where Carl gets killed by falling glass…. The idea of putting glass inside your body is scary.
Without going into too much detail, there are 2 main types of glass that sex toys are made from – borosilicate glass (a.k.a Pyrex) and soda lime glass. But what’s the difference?
Borosilicate glass contains a compound called boron trioxide. This allows for a very low coefficient of thermal expansion. I’m not a scientist, but basically, this is glass which has been treated to withstand extreme temperature changes without cracking. As a result, it is stronger than regular ol’ glass.
You know those Pyrex jugs and casserole dishes you have in your kitchen? There’s a reason they don’t crack in the oven… they’re very similar to borosilicate glass.
Soda lime glass is the most common glass type in the world, being used in many things from jam jars to windows. Soda lime glass has not been thermally treated, which means that it cannot be exposed to extreme temperatures like borosilicate glass can. This also means that it is generally more likely to shatter and therefore less strong than borosilicate glass.
Around 90% of all the world’s manufactured glass is soda lime glass.
“Annealing” is when you heat glass up and then slowly cool it down again, helping to remove internal stress points and therefore toughen the glass once it cools down again. However, as was pointed out by Dangerous Lily, the quality of the annealing process differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. With clear glass sex toys, there is a test you can perform with a polarizing lens which shows “rainbows” on the inside of the glass, indicating points of stress. If “rainbows” show up through the lens, then there is lots of internal stress inside the glass toy. However, if it’s clear (or mostly clear) then the toy has been properly annealed.
Using glass dildos is very similar to using regular dildos – you just have to bear in mind the different properties of glass.
For example, glass is compatible with all lubes, so you can mix and match lubes as you like. Borosilicate glass is also temperature responsive, so you can place your glass toy into cold water or warm water to change its temperature.The main thing to consider with glass dildos is their firmness and their build quality. Don’t be putting cheap dodgy glass toys inside you – go with a reliable manufacturer like the best glass dildos mentioned in this article.
Also, remember that these glass toys are very firm and don’t have the flexibility of something like silicone, so they’re better for more advanced users and precise G-spot stimulation or P-spot stimulation.
Cracks are wack, so it makes sense that people are scared of putting seemingly-delicate glass objects into their bodies. However, I hope this guide has put some worries to rest and helped you to begin your journey to glass sex toy fun. Stay safe out there and buy from reputable manufacturers!
