Elegant, body-safe, and surprisingly versatile, glass toys are one of the best-kept secrets in the pleasure world — and the Icicles collection is where Sunny loves to start. In this episode of Sex Ed with Sunny, she walks through the hand-crafted Icicles line and shows why these little works of art deserve a place on your nightstand.
Give it a watch, then read on for the highlights.
What Makes Icicles Special
Every Icicles piece is made from hand-blown borosilicate glass — the same sturdy, non-porous material used in fine labware. That means each toy is body-safe, hypoallergenic, and beautiful enough to leave on display. No two are exactly alike, and they range from sleek and simple to elegantly textured with ripples, beads, and swirls of color.
Body-Safe and Easy to Clean
Because glass is completely non-porous, nothing soaks in — which makes Icicles some of the most hygienic toys you can own. Wash with warm water and a gentle toy cleaner before and after each use, and they're ready to go. They're also compatible with every kind of lube, so you never have to think twice about what to reach for.
The Magic of Temperature Play
This is where glass really shines. Warm your Icicles piece in a bowl of warm water for a cozy glow, or cool it under cold water for an invigorating tingle. That gentle shift in temperature adds a whole new layer of sensation you simply can't get from other materials. (Just skip boiling water and the freezer — a gradual change is all you need.)
Smooth, Firm, and Made for Exploration
Glass is firm and glides beautifully with just a little lube, making it wonderful for slow, intentional exploration. The rigid feel is perfect for targeting the G-spot or P-spot, and textured designs add extra stimulation as you move. Many Icicles pieces are double-ended or have a flared base, so they're versatile whether you're playing solo or with a partner.
A Few Tips to Get Started
- Start with a shape that speaks to you — a smooth, gently curved piece makes a lovely first Icicles.
- Always use a flared base for anal play — Icicles makes plenty of styles designed exactly for that.
- Add lube — any kind works with glass, and a little goes a long way.
- Store it safely — keep it in its pouch or box so it stays pristine.
