Icicles No 53 7 Inch Glass Anal Toy — Pink review

Glass is smooth enough to use with just a little lube, and heavy enough that you always know exactly where it is — which is most of the appeal. This one is 7 inches insertable, tapered gently, and reviewers love it for temperature play and how comfortable it is to wear for a while.

Glass feels different. It is firm, smooth, and noticeably heavier than silicone — which means you are always aware of it, in a way that some people find grounding and others find distracting. Reviewers consistently say this one is comfortable to sit up or lie down with, and that the weight is part of the appeal rather than a problem.

The taper is gradual, which makes insertion straightforward even if you are new to this. One reviewer called it "great shape and size for newbies", and another said "it fits perfectly, it's soft" — which is not about the material (glass is not soft) but about how it behaves once it is in place. The smooth surface means very little friction, so you need less lube than you would with a textured toy, and cleanup is simple.

Temperature play is the thing reviewers mention most. Glass holds temperature well, so you can warm it under the tap or chill it in the fridge, and the sensation is noticeably different from room temperature. One person described it as "insane" in a good way, and said the cold "chilled my skin but felt so nice". If you have never tried temperature play, this is a low-stakes way to find out whether you like it.

It works well for partner play — one couple used it on their wedding weekend and said it "did not disappoint" — and it is quiet, which matters if discretion does. The pink tint is cosmetic; it does not affect how the toy performs, but it does make it easier to spot if you have a drawer full of glass.

This suits people who want something smooth, substantial, and versatile enough to experiment with.

Beginners like this one. The taper is gentle, the 7-inch insertable length is manageable, and glass is slippery enough that insertion is not a struggle. If you are new to anal play and want something that will not ask too much of you, this is a good place to start.

It also suits people who already know they like glass and want something they can wear comfortably for a while. The weight and the smooth surface mean it stays put without needing constant adjustment, and reviewers say it is comfortable enough to sit or lie down with.

If you want something smaller or lighter, look at the Icicles No 72 instead — it is 4.25 inches insertable and less substantial. If you want texture or flexibility, glass is not the material for you; silicone will give you more give and more grip.

Glass is non-porous, so you can clean it properly and it will last for years if you look after it.

Glass is non-porous, which means soap and hot water is genuinely all it needs. You can also boil it or run it through the dishwasher if you want to sterilise it, though most people do not bother unless they are sharing it.

It is breakable, so do not drop it on a hard floor or knock it against the tap. Store it somewhere padded — a cloth bag or a drawer with a towel in it — and check it for chips or cracks before each use. If it is damaged, throw it away; glass does not degrade gracefully.

Use water-based or silicone lube; glass is compatible with both. It does not absorb anything, so a little goes a long way.

If 7 inches is more than you want, the Icicles No 72 is 4.25 inches insertable and lighter, but still glass and still good for temperature play. If you want flexibility or a softer landing, silicone is the better material — glass does not give at all.

You can compare this directly to the No 72 on the comparison page.

This sits in the glass anal toys category, which is small but well-regarded. Glass is not as popular as silicone, but the people who like it really like it, and the scores reflect that.

So should you buy it?

Yes, if you want something smooth, substantial, and versatile enough to experiment with temperature. Reviewers love how comfortable it is to wear and how well it works for both solo and partner play. The taper is gentle enough for beginners, and the glass is non-porous so it will last.

Skip it if you want something smaller, lighter, or more forgiving — glass is firm and it does not flex. But if you are curious about glass or you already know you like it, this is a well-reviewed, well-priced option that does what it is supposed to.
