ICICLES Glass Anal Plug NO 25 review

A 3.5-inch glass plug that reviewers say delivers powerful vibration and is easy to clean — though the evidence also shows consistent safety concerns about unannealed glass and a base design that may not be safe for everyone.

Glass means weight you can feel, and reviewers mention that immediately — it stays exactly where you put it, and the smooth surface needs very little lube. The vibration is strong enough that multiple people called it "powerful", and the remote control earned specific praise for letting couples hand off control mid-session.

The ease-of-use reports are genuine: quick to charge, simple to operate, and cleaning is as straightforward as glass gets. One reviewer said it "took bedroom fun to a whole new level", and the satisfaction scores back that up.

But 40 per cent of the thematic feedback centres on safety concerns, and those are specific. Multiple reviewers flag that the glass is unannealed, which means it can shatter under thermal or mechanical stress. One user on Reddit asked outright whether they should be concerned after buying it, and another replied bluntly that "that base though is definitely not safe". The base design appears to be the second safety issue — not flared enough for some users' confidence.

Size is the other recurring theme. Several reviewers said it was bigger than expected, and one beginner said plainly "not for beginners, which I am" before adding they were working up to it slowly. The beginner-friendliness subscore sits at 20, which is about as low as it gets in this category.

So the experience splits cleanly: if you know what you are doing and you trust the construction, reviewers say it delivers. If you are new to this or cautious about materials, the evidence says look elsewhere.

This suits someone with experience who wants the heft and smoothness of glass, values strong vibration, and is comfortable assessing the safety of a base themselves. If you have used plugs before and you know what a secure base feels like, the positive reviews suggest you will enjoy this.

It does not suit beginners. The beginner-friendliness subscore is 20, multiple reviewers said so explicitly, and the size-accuracy score of 50 suggests it reads larger in person than the measurements imply. If you are new to anal play, start with something smaller and with a base design that has no ambiguity.

And if safety margins matter to you — if you want a plug where the material and base design are beyond question — this is not it. The unannealed glass and the base concerns appear consistently enough in the evidence that we cannot dismiss them as outliers.

Glass is non-porous, so soap and hot water is all it needs — no special cleaner, no guesswork. It is also one of the few materials you can sterilise properly if you want to, though most people will never need to.

The material is sustainable and it does not degrade, so if it does not break it will outlast almost anything else you own. Store it somewhere it will not knock against hard surfaces, and check it for chips or cracks before each use — that is standard for glass, not specific to this one.

We have a direct comparison with the Icicles Hand Blown Glass Massager No 7, which is also glass and also in the Icicles range. If the safety concerns here are putting you off but you still want glass, that page will show you how the two differ in design and what reviewers said about each.

This sits in the glass anal toys subcategory, where it is one of 240 reviewed products. The Coyscore of 64 puts it in the middle of that group — not at the top, not at the bottom, and the mixed reviews reflect that.

Is the Icicles No 25 body-safe? The material itself — glass — is non-porous and body-safe. But multiple reviewers have raised concerns about it being unannealed, which affects durability under stress, and about the base design. So the material is fine; the construction has questions over it.

Is this suitable for beginners? No. Reviewers said so explicitly, and the beginner-friendliness subscore of 20 is one of the lowest we have seen in this category. If you are new to anal play, start with something smaller and with a base design that is unambiguously safe.

A glass plug with strong vibration and genuine ease of use, but consistent safety concerns that you cannot ignore. Reviewers who loved it really did — the satisfaction score is 75 and the praise for the remote and the power is specific. But 40 per cent of the thematic feedback centres on unannealed glass and a base that may not be safe for everyone, and the beginner-friendliness score of 20 tells you this is not a forgiving product.

If you have experience, you trust the construction, and you want the weight and smoothness of glass with serious vibration, the positive reviews suggest you will enjoy this. If you are new, cautious, or you want a plug where the safety is beyond question, pick something else.

Available for $83.95. The geo-router will show you where to get it depending on where you are.
