Icicles 10 Function Glass G-Spot Vibrating Wand No4 from Vibrations Direct

A while ago, I was approached by a very lovely lady from Vibrations Direct, who asked whether i'd be interested in receiving a product from them in return for an honest review. I received the item free of charge and all opinions are based upon my own experience.

Although I sent quite a long list of toys etc i'd be willing to test, it was still a surprise when my new toy actually arrived ....and a nice one at that!!

My new Icicles No4

Imagine the size of the smile on my face when I opened this .....within an hour it was being tried and tested!

As with all Icicles glass toys, the Icicles 10 Function Glass G-Spot Vibrating Wand No4 comes in simple yet attractive packaging. The box front opens out to reveal the wonders that lie within ...

Inside the box

Description of contents inside box cover

You'll find your new toy fitted nicely into a white foam block for protection once removed from the box. It's at this point you see the real beauty and quality of the product.

Snug as a bug

As you can see, there are 2 separate parts to this vibe. First we have the beautiful glass dildo which is stunning in itself and exudes quality ...

Beautifully crafted glass dildo

The dildo itself is around 7 inches in length and has a girth of just under 3 inches so it's relatively slender if the size often puts you off.

Raised swirl covering dildo

I apologize for my pic not being the greatest but I was trying to show you the raised pink swirl which adorns the dildo. Although they can be felt, they're not unpleasant and only create gentle ripples which feel pleasant and add to the arousal. They are raised by only a few mm but make the world of difference.

The vibrating part of the wand

This glass dildo comes with a handy little bullet and control unit to turn it into a vibrator ...and it's pretty clever! The control unit has an opening in the back where 3AAA batteries are to be inserted and this is very easy to gain access to. Once they're in, simply plug the bullet into it and hey presto! There are 10 vibration modes in total ranging from constant vibes to pulsating ones so there's something for everyone.

The small bullet fits neatly into the handle at the base of the glass dildo ....

Bullet through end of dlido

Like with all my 'stipply' vibes, I always make sure I use plenty of lube as this helps prevent the vibe from sticking and heightens the pleasure as well as making those raised areas glide comfortably.
I'm a huge fan of glass dildos/vibes and this one has earned a top spot in my toy drawer. For me, the size is absolutely perfect as i'm quite slender and occasionally struggle for comfort with some of the larger vibes. I'd also say this is great if you're new to glass vibes with stipples as they're quite small.
The bullet is a great little addition to this, although I personally didn't feel that the vibrations came through the dildo quite as strong as I would have liked. I did find it quite fun to remove the bullet and stimulate my clitoris with it whilst satisfying myself with the dildo but if you decide to try this yourself, be warned, the bullet does get pretty warm!!

The bullet glows when turned on

The heat could be due to the bulb which is inside the bullet and I did find it became hotter and quite uncomfortable the longer it was in use.

Overall I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try this and I really loved it, although i'm probably more likely to use it without the bullet. The style, size and intricacy of the glass dildo are, for me, perfect in every way and capable of giving maximum satisfaction. I preferred the bullet when used by itself, at least until it became too hot to handle. The curve at the top of the glass hit the spot well and the stipples gave a very sensual experience making me oooh and aaah constantly. My partner enjoyed taking control of the bullet which always heightens my arousal as I never know when it's going to change etc and this gave him satisfaction too. As with all glass toys i've tested, I personally prefer to handle them myself rather than let my partner pleasure me with them as it's sometimes a little uncomfortable when he does it.

As with all sex toys, what's right for me, may not be right for you. I can only give you my personal opinions.

I was recently asked if I would like to review a toy for Nice 'n' Naughty and obviously jumped at the chance. I made a small wishlist and within a couple of days was sent an item from this ......I couldn't believe my eyes!!

Concealed inside a brown envelope was a medium sized box with red tissue paper wrapped around it. I would've shown you a pic, but unfortunately I couldn't wait to see what was inside so off it came.

Look what I got...

Contents of my package (Whoop!)

I must've looked like the cat that got the cream when I saw this. Behold the Icicles No 24 hand blown glass massager from Pipedream, my first ever glass toy!! The excitement was building rapidly and my next mission was to take a peek inside the box...

Inside the box - beautiful!

The front of the box is held shut by a magnetic fastening which is very easy to open and then you're able to just sit and view your new toy in awe. There's a brief description of the Icicles on the inside cover of the box explaining that it's 'hand-crafted, elegant and upscale with amazing attention to detail' and they're not at all wrong.

To remove the massager, simply open the box from the top and it just slides out. It is encased in a white spongy protector to ensure it's safe arrival and it's perfect to re-store the Icicles in once you're done.

Icicles No24 (click pic to enlarge)

I think you'll agree that this is an exquisite work of art which wouldn't look out of place as a decorative ornament in your living room - I bet there wouldn't be many people who would imagine the secret pleasures it can bring! The dildo has been uniquely designed to represent an octopus tentacle and I have to say, it's pretty darn close.

Delicate pleasure bumps

As this dildo is made from glass, it's hypoallergenic, waterproof, hard-wearing, long lasting and extremely versatile in that you can either use it heated (just pop in microwave/hold under warm water), or cold (hold under cold water/place in freezer) so you get varying sensations from just one toy. It also has the added benefit that it's really easy to clean.

Before using, I couldn't help but explore the tentacle with my fingers. I ran them down the full length of it (around 6"), over the bumps and back up the veined underside .....more than once! I coud feel each and every raise and bump in the dildo and was more than ready to explore further.
For my first use, I ran myself a hot bath and took the dildo in with me. After a few minutes I couldn't resist any longer and began to rub it over my clitoris. I could definately notice the bumps, and there was something quite erotic and seductive about how they felt. I slowly slid it inside my vagina and at first, it seemed a little uncomfortable, although the more I relaxed, the more enjoyable it became. I had absolutey no problem managing to keep hold of the tentacle, even when it was wet. The hook on the end of it is ideal to fit your finger through ensuring that you won't drop it - heaven forbid, and it makes it easier to manouvre. The warmth of the tentacle was a sensation that made me gasp with pleasure and I could feel each of the bumps hitting my pleasure zones as I slid it in and out. I'm normally a little put off by vibes/dildos which have bumps or stipples on them, although this one looked so attractive so I thought 'what the hell'. I'm really glad I did as they aren't quite as noticable when in use, and added to the overall satisfaction the tentacle gave.
Although i've only had this dildo for 2 days, iv'e also managed to try it chilled too - WOW!! I needed to use lube this time, but it was a completely different sensation and still resulted in me climaxing.

Overall I adore the Icicle No24 because it's not only a fantastic sex toy, but it's also stunningly beautiful to look at, and if you've been put off by hard bumps on dildos in the past, then look no further as this is perfect! The only thing I would say is that although I was perfectly happy for my partner to watch me using this, i'm not sure i'd let him loose with it on me, as sometimes men get a little carried away and I don't think this is very appropriate for rigorous use. I much preferred to take my time and enjoy the sensuality of it all.
