Icicles Hand Blown Glass Massager No 7 vs ICICLES Glass Anal Plug NO 25

Both are borosilicate glass, both are non-porous, and both let you experiment with temperature — but the No 7 is nearly twice the length and a third heavier, which makes it a very different experience. The No 25 is compact and manageable; the No 7 asks more of you and rewards confidence with presence you can feel throughout.

The No 7 has been reviewed 299 times, averaging 4.7 stars. The No 25 has 240 reviews and averages 4.4 stars. Both have enough feedback to trust the patterns, and both score well — the No 7 just edges ahead.

The No 7 gives you 6.8 inches insertable and weighs 310 grams. The No 25 is 3.5 inches and 220 grams. That difference in length and heft changes everything about how each one feels — the No 7 has real presence, the No 25 stays put without announcing itself. Weight matters with glass: you always know exactly where it is, and the heavier one delivers more of that constant, grounding pressure people buy glass for in the first place.

Both are borosilicate glass, so both are non-porous — clean them with soap and hot water, sterilise them if you share, and they will outlast almost anything else you own. Both work beautifully for temperature play: run them under warm water or leave them in the fridge for ten minutes, and the glass holds that sensation longer than silicone ever could. Neither has a flared base or taper measurement stated, and the maximum diameter is not given for either, so if those details matter to you, check with the retailer before you buy.

If you are new to anal play or prefer something unobtrusive, the No 25 is the better starting point — shorter, lighter, easier to position and forget about. If you already know you like glass and want something with more length and weight, the No 7 delivers that fuller, more present feeling without becoming unwieldy. Both suit solo use and partner play, and both reward the kind of person who enjoys the ritual of warming or cooling a toy before use.

Is this toy safe to use if it has a scratch? No. Glass with any chip, crack or scratch should be retired immediately — the flaw can worsen during use and cause injury. Inspect your glass toys before every session, and if you find damage, replace them.

Can I use this toy for temperature play? Yes, and it is one of the main reasons people choose glass. Warm it under the tap or cool it in the fridge for ten minutes, and the material holds that temperature far longer than silicone. Start gently — glass conducts sensation efficiently, and what feels mild in your hand can feel intense elsewhere.

Is this toy easy to clean? Yes. Glass is non-porous, so soap and hot water is all you need for everyday cleaning. If you share it, boil it for three minutes or run it through the dishwasher on the top rack. It will not degrade, discolour or absorb anything, which is why glass lasts.

Is the Icicles No 25 body-safe? The material itself — borosilicate glass — is body-safe and non-porous. Some reviewers have raised concerns about the base design and whether the glass has been properly annealed, which affects durability. If those concerns matter to you, inspect the product carefully when it arrives and contact the retailer if anything looks or feels wrong.

Is this product suitable for beginners? The No 25 is more beginner-friendly than the No 7 due to its shorter length and lighter weight, but one reviewer explicitly noted that the No 7 is not for beginners. If you are new to anal play, start with the No 25 or something smaller still, and work up to longer or heavier toys once you know what you enjoy.

The No 7 is the better toy if the evidence is your guide — it scores 86 against the No 25's 64, and reviewers are more consistently pleased with it. But scores do not tell you which one suits your body or your experience level. If you want length, weight and presence, and you are confident with anal play, the No 7 is the one to choose. If you want something easier to manage, less demanding and still beautifully made, the No 25 will serve you well. Both are non-porous, both will last, and both do exactly what glass is meant to do.

Both are widely stocked. Look for them at Lovehoney, Peaches and Screams, and other retailers that carry the Pipedream Icicles range. Prices vary, so it is worth comparing before you commit — and check the returns policy, because glass is one of the few materials you can inspect, clean and return if it does not suit.
