Material
Glass dildos are not made from standard glass. High grade borosilicate glass is the norm. This is the same glass used for glass cooking utensils and medical products.
Safety
The biggest question about glass dildos is 'are they safe'. To answer your question, consider the extremes in which glass is safely used; for everyday cooking on the hob and in the oven, for windows in submarines that withstand enormous pressures and for windows in spacecraft that withstand enormous temperature ranges. The reality is that provided the glass is properly made, using careful annealing techniques, and then fully tested with a polariscope you can be confident that in normal use glass is extremely safe.
Manufacture
Glass dildos are made by hand, one piece at a time, by expert craftsmen. They are not mass produced and this leads to the delight in every one being individual. The skills of glass making go back thousands of years, and few materials lend themselves to so much creativity and artistic inspiration. Look at the wonderful glass paperweights that many people collect.
Now you can see this creativity applied to sexual toys. Glass toys come in a growing array of shapes and colours. There is bound to be one that not only feels good, but is visually and aesthetically attractive to you.
Of course this amount of handwork comes at a price. The more complicated glass products can take more than a day to make. Then add in the products that are rejected in quality control and you end up with a relatively costly product. Quality doesn't come cheap!
Brand
The world leader in adult glass is Phallix, represented in Europe by Apollo. You can always be confident that you are getting leading-edge design and hand-crafted quality from this manufacturer. As with all products, there are many other competent brands which cost less, but perhaps don't have the same 'edge' when it comes to quality.
Use
Glass toys can be used both vaginally and anally. Some are curved for GSpot stimulation, others have swirling ribs and bands that excite the anus. One of the most unusual and unique ways to use glass toys is to either warm them in hot water, or cool them in the fridge. Experience the exquisite pleasure/pain of a ultra cold glass dildo!
Care and maintenance
Simply wash after use. Place in the dishwasher if desired. Using an antibacterial sex toy cleaner will avoid soap residue.
Keep wrapped in a pouch or cloth. Do not drop on a hard surface. If you do, then discard the product immediately. The one thing that glass does not like is physical shock!
