Modern sex toys have historically been made from very unsexy silicone. 

While we don’t doubt the pleasure people can get from them, when it comes to penetration – we’re big fans of more natural materials. Specifically glass and crystal. 

That’s why we’ve built a whole business around selling pleasure wands carved from colorful crystals and glimmering glass.

We believe in these products wholeheartedly but understand that entering this new realm of pleasure toys can bring up some questions.

We’re here to answer them.

Q) Why would you choose a glass or crystal dildo?

Why wouldn’t you choose one?

Kidding (sort of).

These are just a few of the many pleasurable perks of glass and crystal dildos:

  • No friction: Unlike with silicone, there’s no friction, especially when paired with a juicy lubricant.
  • Temperature play: Glass is temperature responsive so it’s awesome for a little kinky play by heating it up or cooling it down – yes, like an ice pack.
  • Increased pressure: The *hardness* of glass and crystal may seem tricky to maneuver at first, but this hardness allows for more pressure, helping to facilitate internal massaging and de-armouring

Another perk of using crystal and glass toys is that you have more options when it comes to your lube choices. When using silicone toys, you have to be careful about not using lubes that could break down the silicone, like oil. Crystal and glass toys on the other hand can be used with a wide range of lubes, including oil-based ones.

Q) Are glass and crystal dildos safe to use?

We can’t speak for all manufacturers, but at Yoni Pleasure Palace, we care about your health, safety, and pleasure. 

That's why all of our toys including glass and crystal ones, are 100% body-safe, hypoallergenic, and made from top-quality materials that won't break when treated with care – and definitely won’t break inside of you!

Our glass dildos go through a special process called “annealing”, which makes them more resistant to stress and much safer to use internally than any old glass dildo you find online.

As for crystals, you can measure their strength on the Mohs Hardness scale. Most crystals with a hardness of 6.5 and above, like quartz, that also have a high density usually are the best to use internally.

Q) How do you clean glass and crystal toys?

Both crystal and glass dildos are pretty easy to clean. For glass dildos, we recommend cleaning them in hot water, you can combine a little bit of apple cider vinegar, eucalyptus oil, or a tiny bit of mild soap. Technically you can even put your glass dildo in the dishwasher - no judgment here!

Crystal dildos can easily be cleaned with warm water and mild soap – but please do not boil them! We even sell a toy cleanser spray as a convenient option.

No matter what kind of sex toy you're using, make sure to clean it between uses!

Q) Should I choose glass or crystal?

The beauty of crystal toys is that each stone has its own unique energetic properties. So when you pleasure yourself using a crystal dildo, you’re able to weave the magic of crystal healing with the power of your pleasure. 

Glass tends to be more lightweight than crystal, making it a great option for people who want something that is a bit more ergonomically friendly or who just prefer a lighter toy. 

Another key difference between glass and crystal is texture. Crystal toys tend to be all one smooth texture with maybe some bulbs or curves at the end. Glass, on the other hand, can have a wide range of textures like ribbing, or in the case of one of our favorite new launches – tentacle-like texture.

Introducing The Octopussy® Glass Dildo Pleasure Wand. Similar to our The Sacred Squirter®, The Octopussy is carved from 100% pure borosilicate glass – meaning it’s 100% safe for your body. Its curved octopus tentacle with two ridges of pleasure bumps lining the shaft and a bulbous head is designed to please you from your G-spot to your clitoris.
