Best Glass Dildos for Temperature Play

Last Updated on December 2, 2025

Glass dildos are one of the most unique sex toys a person can try, but they are also shrouded in myth and mystery. Today I'll explain what they feel like compared to other materials and show you our favorites for those would like a quick recommendation on which product to choose.

Are They Safe?

If you're unfamiliar with glass sex toys, you may think it's might not be a good idea to stick something made of glass into the vagina or anus. After all, what if it cracks or breaks? Aren't the shards dangerous?

Rest assured, glass toys are safe. They are made of durable and shatterproof borosilicate glass, which is the same as your Pyrex bakeware.

Glass Dildos vs. Other Materials

Silicone dildos feel completely different – they have a velveteen-like texture whereas glass is completely smooth. In fact, even textured glass dildos feel “smooth” because glass does not have any resistance like rubber, TPR, TPE or silicone does. Glass actually feels quite comparable to metal dildos.

There are a few benefits that glass toys have that other dildo materials don't. First of all, glass dildos are the most elegant and beautiful of all dildos. Some hand blown creations are literal works of art with colored swirls and patterns of color that are absolutely beautiful to look at.

What is Temperature Play?

Temperature play is the term for any sexual act that involves the application of heat or cold. In this case, the glass dildo is cooled or heated to increase sensation during penetration. It is enjoyable for both vaginal stimulation and anal play.

Glass dildos retain temperature for much longer than silicone or rubber. Borosilicate can handle extreme temperature changes. Run it under warm water and it heats up. Put it in the freezer and chill it for 20 minutes before use. Enjoy penetration and treat yourself to the sensual experience of hot and cold on your erogenous zones.

Benefits of Glass

Sensitive skin? Allergies? It is easy to clean because it’s nonporous, so this is a really good option for sharing with partners. They are also hypoallergenic for people who are especially sensitive. They can also be used for both anal and vaginal (but make sure to wash it before switching holes).

Here are a few more reasons to love it:

  1. Solid pressure = hardcore pleasure
    The hard, unforgiving surface is really intense. This translates especially well for female G Spot stimulation and male prostate stimulation.
  2. Easy to insert
    Some of the really soft dildos can buckle and bend upon insertion. You'll never have the problem there, it will pop right into your hole of choice!
  3. Compatible with all lubes
    Love silicone based lube? You know it's advised by Sexperts across the world to keep your silicone lube far away from your silicone dildos. But it feels so slick and slippery! Well, feel free to liberally douse a glass toy with as much as you want!
  4. Temperature play
    Glass retains temperature much longer than any other sex toy material. It is slow to adapt to your body heat while the warm water heat or cold water chill lasts longer. You can also add cooling lube or warming lube to extend your sensual fun too.
  5. Smooth, friction free glide
    Most materials are not friction less. You can experience a pinched labia or pulled pubic hair easily with pretty much any other adult toy in your collection. That just won't happen here, it glides endlessly for the ultimate in elegant, sensual pleasure.
  6. Non Porous
    This is a big deal for hygiene. If you are concerted about keeping your adult toys sanitary as possible, the non porous glass toys do not provide a bed for bacteria to grow. The non porous surface is the easiest of all to clean since there are no micro cracks or holes for bacteria to hide.
