Glass dildos have to be some of the most beautiful dildos out there, but I get it, they look cold and hard, and there’s always the lingering fear of it smashing.
But once you figure out how to use a glass dildo properly, you won’t regret it!
Before we get to the ins and outs of how to use a glass dildo, let’s take a look at why glass makes such a great sex toy material.
Here are my top 9 reasons glass dildos work so fantasticly.
- Most high-quality glass dildos are made from borosilicate glass, which is much stronger than regular glass and can withstand temperature changes.
- Glass is non-toxic and hypoallergenic.
- Glass is non-porous, meaning it doesn’t absorb or harbor bacteria and mold, and you sterilize it by boiling it.
- The rigidity makes them great for a deeper internal massage of the g-spot (internal clitoral structure) or the p-spot (prostate).
- Glass is one of the smoothest sex toy materials, so it glides freely with minimal friction.
- You can use any type of lubrication with a glass dildo.
- The added weight of gives more stimulation without a lot of effort.
- They come in the most beautiful designs imaginable. Some of them are true works of art!
- You can heat or cool borosilicate glass for temperature play.

I hope that puts your mind at ease and dispels any horror story images might have had.
Now we can move on to the fun stuff — marveling at all the magical designs there are to choose from!
The first step in learning how to use a glass dildo actually starts with choosing the right dildo for the job! Much like the silicone dildos we know and love, glass dildo’s come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, all designed to delight in different ways.

How to Use a Glass Dildo
Hopefully, you’ve decided which glass dildo is the one for you. So now, let’s look at how to get the most out of it! Before we look at the different ways to use it, let’s cover the basics.
- Give your dildo a good clean when you first get it and before and after each use.
- Check your dildo for any signs of damage before each use.
- You can use any type of lube with a glass dildo, but if you are planning to use a condom for protection with a partner, make sure your lube is compatible with condoms.
- Use your glass dildo for some foreplay. They are fantastic for massaging the clitoris, stroking up and down your labia, or massaging your anus.
Different ways to use your glass dildo for maximum pleasure
G-spot stimulation
If you love deep g-spot stimulation, a curved glass dildo with a bulbed end is going to be your tool of choice! Start by building arousal with some external stimulation as this will cause the internal clitoral structure to swell and make it easier to stimulate. When you are ready, insert the dildo a few inches into your vagina and angle the tip towards the front wall. You can then move the tip around until you find the most sensitive spot. Explore different movements, such as moving the dildo back and forth, side to side, or in small circles. You can also use your free hand or a sex toy for some added clitoral stimulation.
P-spot stimulation
Again, a curved dildo is a great choice here as it makes it much easier to find the prostate. Start by applying some lube to your dildo and using it to massage your anus to help relax the muscles. Then, when you are ready, slowly insert the tip a few inches into the anus, angling it forward towards your belly button. Once you find the prostate, experiment with different strokes to find what works for you.
Temperature play
Temperature play is perfect for getting hot and bothered or sending chills of pleasure throughout your body. Just remember that the skin on your genitals is very sensitive so you should never use extreme temperatures and you should always check the temperature first.
To heat or cool a glass sex toy, place it in a glass of warm or cool water and let the glass adjust to the temperature. You can then use the dildo to stroke your labia and clitoris or slip it inside and feel the contrast between the temperature of your body and the dildo.
With a partner
You can also use a glass dildo with a partner! Although it’s important to remember that you will need to be a little gentler with a glass dildo than you would a softer dildo due to the rigidity. Glass dildos are fantastic when paired with some oral sex — who doesn’t love a blended orgasm!
You can also use a glass dildo to massage different parts of the body for some sensual foreplay. A warmed glass dildo with a bulbed end makes a great massage tool!

Safety and care:
Like all sex toys, glass dildos need to be cleaned and cared for properly to make sure they last for a long time. Here’s how to keep yours sparkling, shiny new for longer!
- If your toy is waterproof (or has no electrical parts), you can clean it with warm water and soap or sex a toy cleaner.
- To sterilize your toy, you can boil it for a few minutes in a pan. Add a cloth to the bottom of the pan to stop the toy from banging against the sides of the pan. Only do this with waterproof toys and be sure to check the manufacturer’s instructions first.
- Store your glass toy in a soft pouch or box and keep it somewhere where it won’t get bashed around.
- Always check your glass sex toys for signs of damage before use.
