Sapphire Spiral

Icicles Glass Sex Toy DildoI’m really liking glass sex toys nowadays. The first one I tried was just a smooth, yet tapered, double-ended dildo, which was a great one to start out with. Next I acquired an Icicles No. 9 from Pipedream that had a curved shaft (awesome for g-spot stimulation!) and a little bit of ribbed texture just underneath the tip. My most recent exploration with glass involved another product from Pipedream, the Sapphire Spiral. Isn’t it pretty?

Icicles Glass Sex Toy DildoAs is true of all glass, you can quickly heat it up with hot water (not too hot) or cool it down with cold water or by sticking it in the refrigerator, so it’s an ideal material for temperature play. Also, it’s compatible with any lube and one of the most hygienic and body-safe sex toy materials because it’s nonporous and can be boiled or even cleaned in the dishwasher.

Like the Icicles No. 9, the Sapphire Spiral is curved for G-spot/prostate stimulation, but it offers a bit more texture in the form of a raised blue spiral running down the shaft. The top flares out slightly before tapering to a rounded tip, resembling a penis head. It also has a flat, flared base, so not only can it stand up on its own, but it’s also safe for both vaginal and anal insertion. Just please make sure you remember to boil it after anal play before it goes anywhere else.

Icicles Glass Sex Toy DildoMy Sapphire Spiral came packaged in a thin, easy-to-open, clear plastic clamshell. It measures about 7 1/2 inches in total length, and the girth varies from 4 to 4 /2 inches thanks to the flared head and raised spiral. It’s a nice moderate size that should suit a wide range of users.

Icicles Glass Sex Toy DildoI don’t use my glass and metal sex toys for quick stress relief, as I have a few powerful vibes that can give me an orgasm-in-a-minute if that’s what I’m needing. For something firm and textured like this, I personally need quite a bit of warm-up before putting it inside me, so this would be one I’d pick for longer and more indulgent self-gratification sessions.

Icicles Glass Sex Toy DildoSince this was my first foray into playing with so much texture on such a hard material, and I wasn’t sure how I’d like it, I went very slowly and spent quite a bit of time just figuring out how to work with it and what felt good to me. The Sapphire Spiral’s smooth head feels great when rubbed along all the external bits of my vulva, and the raised spirals are very noticeable and really add a whole new level of sensation, especially when inserted. I soon found that this is a great dildo for poking, prodding, slow side-to-side twisting, and very gentle, shallow thrusting.

Of course, everyone is different, so what I find pleasurable may not work for others, but I can have some mind-blowing orgasms with this applying firm pressure on my G-spot while I stimulate my clitoris either manually or with a small vibe. The texture did take me a while to get used to, but I like my Sapphire Spiral more each time I use it.
