Why You Should Trust Us

Our mission here at My Sex Toy Guide is to provide our readers with advice that helps them explore their sexuality in a fun and safe way. We employ several certified sex experts to help us do so, including Rachel Sommers, the author of this article.

Rachel has been with us since our inception in 2016 and during that time has offered her expertise in reviewing dozens of adult products, from virtual reality porn to beginner-friendly vibrators. She provides her readers with unbiased and judgment-free information about each of the products that come her way in the hopes that she can empower them to lead more fulfilling sex lives.

If you want to see what the glass anal beads look like and how to use them, please watch my unboxing and demonstration video below:

How We Picked The Products

Glass anal beads, with their atypical design, are a nice reprieve from regular strung-together models, especially for folx with plenty of experience with the latter. When choosing the products for this review, we looked for review samples that not only had positive reviews but also had some sort of unique twist that would help them stand out from the competition.

After tracking down 12 of the highest-rated and most unique butt plugs, my team of sex experts and I set to work personally testing each of our top picks. Hard work, but somebody’s gotta do it! Then, using the criteria we could measure using well-defined quantitative metrics outlined below, we gave each product a score out of 100, using quantitative metrics to help us decide which of the products deserved to grace our readers’ buttholes.

• Design. This review is full of incredibly unique picks, each offering rare design features to make sure we have something for everyone.
• Sensation. All the products included in this review will have you soaking wet in minutes. And of course, we couldn’t get away with not recommending at least one vibrating option.
• Material. Obviously, each of the products chosen for a glass plug review has to be made from glass. But we made sure that even our budget picks are made from high-quality borosilicate glass, which is shatterproof and body-safe.
• Quality. Toys with rough edges, obvious seams, and lightweight bodies that didn’t feel strong enough to handle a night of heavy play were immediately eliminated from the running.
• Size. From being thin enough for total beginners to extra-long and girthy enough to satiate the largest appetites, we made sure there was something for everyone.
• Versatility. Glass is incredibly non-porous, and for that reason, it is an ideal material for both vaginal and anal play without worry. Many of the review samples are well equipped to target both the P and G-spot.
• Aesthetics. Even though glass anal beads are already one of the most beautiful sex toys you can purchase, we gave bonus points to plugs made from colorful glass and those beautiful enough to be ornaments on your Christmas tree.
• Price Rating. We never choose products simply for their price tag, as a more expensive toy isn’t necessarily better than a budget pick. Instead, we consider price versus value and look for products that deliver the best balance of both.
• Ease of Use. Although glass anal beads are smooth enough for you to use with only a tiny bit of water-based lube, a tapered tip and ergonomically correct handles make all the difference in easy insertion and comfortable use.

During testing, we rated each of the toys based on the criteria listed above, starting from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). Each score was calculated using different weighted metrics depending on what we deemed most important. Half the total rating comes from Design (25%) and Sensation (25%). After that comes Material (10%), Quality (10%), Size (10%), Versatility (5%), Aesthetics (5%), Ease of Use (5%), and Price Rating (5%).

1. Chrystalino Planets: Overall Test Winner!

Why we love Chrystalino Planets:

For anyone seeking a beautiful anal toy with an artistic design and a deeply stimulating feeling of fullness, Chrystalino Planets is the best glass anal beads! Our testers highlighted how the transition between the individual beads felt precise and defined, making for sensual, slow sensations. Its versatile shape made it perfect for solo and partnered sex, while the robust borosilicate glass opened the world to more possibilities, including shower and bath fun.

The team thought Chrystalino Planets’ beautiful, beaded design felt more defined than the other models we tested for the article. “The smooth taper with individual beads that get wider towards the base promoted gentle stretching,” reaffirms Sandra Larson. “It also made penetration straightforward!”

The team also appreciated the firm, smooth finish on the glass material because it offered better control during insertion and withdrawal. Unlike a squishable sex toy, targeting the sweet spots with the firm glass was seamless, and the rounded tip delivered more targeted pleasure to the sensitive spots. They also thought the weighted glass felt great without being bulky, making it ideal for extended wear.

Stimulation-wise, we loved the slow, almost overwhelming sensations. They felt super intentional, and our testers were quick to point out how the ‘bead by bead’ insertion felt like a blend of measured intensity and breathtaking surprise. According to our product test lead, Sandra Larson, it felt like unlocking secret levels. “The rhythmic feeling as the anal hole was continuously stretched almost felt like some sort of internal applause.”

The soft borosilicate glass and beaded design made the user experience straightforward. Guiding the rounded tip was seamless, and even for beginners, the experience was blissful. A measured degree of resistance made insertion interesting.

Please note that Planets wasn’t the most ergonomic piece we tested. While the smooth surface made insertion seamless, it also made handling difficult when the lube was flowing. The sex toy also doesn’t have a handle, and you must have a clean towel within arm’s reach to wipe off the extra lube on your hands.

Although anal beads aren’t known for their versatility, Chrystalino Planets proved quite dynamic. Our testers even used it for vaginal penetration, and it worked wonders. However, it’s the temperature responsiveness that made the piece stand out. You can warm or cool it with water before play for a silky or shiver night of pleasure. We loved how well it maintained the new temperature, allowing the user to enjoy the desired sensations for extended periods.

Lastly, the build quality was impressive. The company used rigid and durable borosilicate glass, which will not degrade or chip. We didn’t pick any scents or weird surface feel. Just a sleek, weighted body that warmed and cooled in seconds. Its silky finish significantly simplified the user experience, and the attention to detail with ‘bead-to-bead’ insertion made the sex toy stand out.

Minor issues we found during testing:

The dimensions might be too much for beginners. If this is your first anal glass toy, the large bulb on one end will feel overwhelming.

Why Chrystalino Planets is our test winner:

• Design: Chrystalino Planets beads graduated with precision, and the smooth outer finish made the sex toy look like a complete unit. Our testers highlighted how the bead-by-bead design promoted gentle stretching and simplified insertion. Unlike the other review samples, the curved shape significantly enhanced the sensations and made it easier to target your special spots. Its presence was unmissable from the get-go, and unless you just learnt about glass anal beads, you’ll enjoy the borderline overwhelming sensations.
• Build Quality: Like other borosilicate glass toys, Chrystalino Planets felt hardy and reliable. Although the rugged body might push away beginners, the tapered shape and bead-by-bead construction enhanced the user experience. The attention to detail was impressive, with the flawless finish and milky look making the sex toy a beautiful sight.
• Versatility: While it might not be the most dynamic, our testers loved how seamless the anal beads fit into different scenarios. Whether playing solo or with a partner, the milky beads enhance the sensations, offering a temperature-responsive sex accessory. Its gentle beads make it easier to target your sweet spots. Explorers can also use it for vaginal penetrations, with the curved shaft and graduating size rendering it both alluring and functional.

2. Pipedream Icicles No. 31: Most Versatile!

Why we love Pipedream Icicles No. 31:

Pipedream Icicles No. 31 stood out as the most versatile glass anal beads thanks to the multiple uses, smart design, and premium build quality. Our testers loved the multi-use shape that made the glass anal beads also suitable for vaginal stimulation. Everything from the curved shaft, ergonomic design, and firm, rounded tips for targeted stimulation made it the most multifaceted product on this list.

The versatile design included multiple beads on one end, a long, curved shaft, and a pointed tip on the other end. Its unique structure gives the user more room to handle the sex toy and multiple pleasure ends to utilize. Although the big bulb on the curved side was the highlight of the review, the stacked beads (image below) offered an exciting feeling during insertion. Sandra Larson describes the feeling as a rolling stretch that woke her nerves one after another. “The gentle bumps gave my body little milestones and gradually built a delicious rhythm as the anal sphincters adjusted and relaxed to it.”

Icicles No. 31’s smooth, rounded ends significantly simplified the user experience, making insertion straightforward. The stacked beads also provided a convenient handle, making it easy to regulate the position and angle of penetration.

From the first time we unboxed the product, the team was overly confident about its durability and reliability. According to Rachel Sommer, it could last many, many years. “The craftsmanship was top-tier and its thick, weighty body felt deliberate,” she affirms. Although the piece looks spectacular, it wasn’t delicate. Unless you go around tossing them around, the glass anal beads will outlast you.

Icicles No. 31 felt heavy on the palm and was cool to the touch, making it one of the ‘most complete’ pieces we tested. The blue borosilicate glass switched from deep cobalt to sweet blue color depending on the light reflection (You can see me testing the color shift in the below image). The flawless glass and polished finish made the model just as nice to look at as it is to use.

The sex toy is one of those you won’t need a manual or instructions to use. “My hands and body figured it out quickly,” says Sandra Larson. “Its curve directed me wherever I wanted to go, while the base steered it even when it felt like I was getting stuck.”

Stimulation-wise, the glass anal beads worked great when Jessica and I went for slow, delicious pressure. There was no buzz or distraction, and every movement felt deliberate. We loved how the handle gave the user more control over the experience, making it easy to land on the prostate or G-spot. You might have to look elsewhere if you’re after frantic thrusting, but if you draw pleasure from slow build-up and edging, Icicles No. 31 is your best bet.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Although premium, the borosilicate glass became slippery when the lube started flowing. We recommend keeping a clean towel close by to wipe your hands regularly.

Why Pipedream Icicles No. 31 is the most versatile:

• Versatility: Pipedream Icicles No. 31’s unique design with two functional heads made it the most versatile option for this article. The big bulb on one end offers a reliable, rounded head for targeted anal and vaginal stimulation. On the other hand, the stacked beads provided users with an avenue to enjoy gradual anal stretching, immersing an extra bead depending on how well you can take up the glass toy. Besides the shape, the borosilicate glass’s temperature responsiveness and waterproofness opened the world to more possibilities, including shower and bath fun.
• Ease of Use: This bae doesn’t need a manual or instructions. While first-time anal toys might have to look elsewhere, there are no buttons or rough edges, and all it took was conviction and a few lube squirts. The curve made it easy to guide the anal beads where you need them, and the base helped steer the toy through the tight anal sphincters.
• Build Quality: Like other borosilicate glass-made sex toys, we were confident in the reliability of the Icicles No. 31. The shatter-resistant material means you don’t have to worry about replacing it anytime soon. As long as you don’t toss it around, the toy should outlast you. Our testers also loved the attention to detail, which is evident with the multiple beads on one end and a gentle curve in the middle to enhance the user experience.

3. Chrystalino Tickler: Our Budget Pick!

Why we love Chrystalino Tickler:

For a mere $24.99 ($32.99 when not on offer), Chrystalino Tickler is the best value glass anal beads you’ll find today. Similar pieces we tested ranged between $50 and $70, making the Tickler a massive bargain. We were unsure whether the discounted price would be at the expense of the build quality, but we’re happy to report that it didn’t. Everything from the choice of materials to the design language highlighted the brand’s commitment to user satisfaction.

Besides the competitive pricing, the team appreciated the Tickler’s design, describing it as the jewel that looked as good as it felt. “The rich cobalt blue color gave the toy a bold glow without being flashy,” says Sandra Larson. Its graduated beads added some movement even when stationary, making the sensations more playful and intentional. The well-thought-out dimensions and beaded shape laid the foundation for slow, teasing sensations. In addition, the smooth finish was without any ridges or seams, making it elegant and erotic.

Something else the team pointed out about the design was the solid loop base. “The loop significantly simplified the user experience,” says Sandra Larson. “It sat snugly between my cheeks without pressing, making it cozy for extended wear.”

When we tested the budget-friendly glass anal beads, they proved exciting. Each bead added a new wave of sensation, and the aftershocks when pulled back made the experience more thrilling. It was more of a slow build-up toy, and the review team reported a rhythmic response with heightened awareness.

Although rugged and sturdy, the Tickler stayed present throughout the experience. “It demanded my attention without being needy, and insertion was easier than anticipated,” adds Rachel Sommer.

Versatility-wise, the anal beads added more possibilities for solo users and couples. Whether pleasuring yourself or pairing it with another sex toy for double penetration, every movement with the piece felt intentional. We even paired it with a wand vibe, and the sensations were very good, spectacular actually!

Our testers also highlighted the ‘wow factor’ during partnered sex. According to our male tester, Shane Davis, the product was a fashion statement, and every time he used it with his partner, they always reacted the same way. “My partner loves the jewel-like glow and doesn’t run out of compliments whenever I slip it in during sex.

Other perks that stood out included temperature responsiveness. The borosilicate glass warmed and cooled within minutes, allowing consumers to enjoy a unique blend of cool and warm sensations. Also, Tickler was safe for vaginal use, so you can enjoy the beaded feel anally and vaginally.

As mentioned before, using The Tickler is straightforward. The tapered shape guided insertion and allowed for gradual stretching. Its loop handle also came in handy, making it easy to insert and remove them. More importantly, the team liked the effortless clean-up and the fact that they could use it with any lubricant.

Lastly, the build quality was seriously impressive. The glass anal beads felt solid on the palm without any visible seams or weak points. The handblown glass looked flawless from tip to loop, and the evenly distributed deep blue color gave it a royal vibe. Its satisfying weight and clarity enhanced the user experience and allowed them to stay in place once inside.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Although the loop significantly simplified the user experience, the smooth finish meant things got slippery when lube was flowing.

In addition, the more experienced folks will find the toy underwhelming. It has a max diameter of 1.14″ and a usable length of 3.03″, making it more of an intermediate or ambitious beginner type of anal beads.

Why Chrystalino Tickler is the budget pick:

• Price: At only $24.99 ($32.99 when not on offer), the Tickler is the cheapest glass anal toy in the article. Our testers were quick to express their satisfaction with the design language, versatility, and build quality of the budget piece, putting to bed earlier worries about the price possibly being at the expense of quality.
• Design: The design was another highlight of the review. Our testers loved the tapered shape with the glass beads widening towards the handle. The gentle stretching gives the body enough time to adjust to it, making the experience more thrilling and less strenuous for beginners. Its cobalt blue finish gave it a jewel-like look, without being too flashy. The review panel highlighted how the loop helped simplify handling, a positive tweak for the glass toy.
• Build Quality: The high-quality hand-blown borosilicate glass made the Tickler a premium pick. We have tested the material for years, and it has proved to be the best choice for people looking for a firm, unforgiving feel. It’s non-porous and hypoallergenic, simplifying cleaning and making it straightforward to use. The attention to detail was evident from the get-go, with the seamless finish and easy-grip loop enhancing the user experience.

4. NS Novelties Crystal Heart: Prettiest!

Why we love NS Novelties Crystal Heart:

Ever heard the saying ‘look good, feel good’? People love pretty things because they turn pleasure into a more joyous and personal experience. NS Novelties Crystal Heart is the most elegant anal toy we tested for the article, thanks to the crystal-clear borosilicate glass that gave it a glistering look. Our testers also loved the balanced aesthetics and symmetrical structure that made the anal toy more of a work of art.

The team thought the simplistic design struck a good balance between looks and functionality. On one end, the crystal-clear glass and glistering finish made it an eye candy. Its graduated bulb design felt intuitive to use, offering real utility to what might be mistaken as ‘just a cute anal sex toy.’ The subtle pink detail and heart handle added an element of coziness and efficacy, giving it a soft, romantic feel.

Unless someone has used Crystal Hearts before, it will pass for a decorative object on your dresser. “I don’t know how, but the product looked like something you’d see in a boutique and not a sex store,” says Rachel Sommer.

The Crystal Heart from NS Novelties doesn’t scream ‘orgasm-producing toy,’ but it delivered exactly what we expected from a glass wand. Unlike silicone-made toys that are easy to manipulate during use, the glass body delivers consistent pressure where you need it: no vibrations or fancy twists, only straightforward pleasure with a bit of flair.

NS Novelties used smooth glass and a taper to promote easy glide, a phenomenon most people don’t associate with glass sex toys. In addition, the curve on the bulb offered a steady build-up without discomfort. This way, Crystal Hearts maintained a good balance between slick and satisfying, while allowing the user to stay relaxed and aware of the sensations.

The team highlighted its versatility, including its graduated shape, discreet design, and temperature play capabilities. You could use it for solo play and partnered sex as the main act or as a warm-up accessory. Its medium length and thickness made it ideal for anal sex, offering seamless penetration without being a pushover.

Lastly, the build quality was seriously impressive. The borosilicate glass felt secure and sturdy in the hand without being too heavy. Its polished surface had no bubbles or rough edges, giving it an exquisite finish. We didn’t notice any signs of weakness or flaws throughout its body, and unless you drop it on the ground, this piece will outlast you.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Like other glass dildos, the material gets a bit slippery when you apply lube. To maintain control with dry hands, we recommend having a clean towel within arm’s reach.

The team also highlighted the packaging, describing it as cheaply made. The sex toy’s quality is top-tier, and NS Novelties should upgrade the packaging to match it.

Why NS Novelties Crystal Heart is the cutest on this list:

• Design: NS Novelties Crystal Heart’s design was the primary motivation for picking the prettiest glass anal beads. The review team loved the elegance evident from the crystal-clear borosilicate glass and glistering finish. The balance between aesthetics and symmetry outperformed the other models we tested. The subtle pink detail and heart handle significantly enhanced the outlook, making the sex toy more of a work of art, sleek but satisfying.
• Ease of Use: Using the glass wand was simpler than we anticipated. Although a loop would’ve enhanced handling, our testers found it relatively lightweight and easier to manipulate than the other tested models. Its slim and tapered tip made insertion easy, while the beaded shape meant you could easily regulate the usable length for maximum comfort.
• Stimulation: While the piece might not be the most intense glass anal beads we reviewed, it delivers on its mandate. The seamless glide and consistent pressure meant it stayed in place throughout the session, and even the slightest movement set it off, allowing for around-the-clock sensations. Our testers also highlighted how the curve on the ball maintained a steady contact while inside, while its smooth finish simplified insertion.

• Material: Borosilicate glass
• Insertable Length: 6″
• Max Diameter: 1.5″

Pros:

• Elegant glistering finish.
• It offers gentle anal stretching.

• It provides seamless glide and consistent pressure.

• It is easy to use.

5. Gläs Titus: Beginner-Friendly!

Why we love Gläs Titus:

Gläs Titus proved to be one of those sex toys you can’t fault. Although it was the smallest and most beginner-friendly, our testers described it as among the most impactful in the article. With only 2.25″ usable length and 0.95″ maximum diameter, the beginner-friendly piece is the perfect first-time model. Unlike other smaller models we tested, the versatile piece has a tapered probe for a handle, allowing users to switch between the graduated beads on one side to the unique anal plug on the other.

The team was taken aback as soon as we began the unboxing. Titus looked more beautiful in person than in the marketing materials, with the crystal-clear glass reflecting light and leaving an attractive glow. More importantly, the compact body and tapered shape significantly simplified penetration, meaning even first-time users will enjoy the experience.

Something else that made the testers’ eyes glow was the multi-use shape with a beaded end and another plug-like tip. The glass beads offered slow, teasing sensations for people interested in a slow build-up, while the plug was more ideal for fuller, anchored anal stretching. Its ring base also came in handy, providing a slim detour that won’t get in the way. It also offered a sturdy handle to grip or tug at the right moment.

Stimulation-wise, the Gläs Titus’ beaded end was the highlight of the review. According to Sandra Larson, popping each bead felt like a journey through an adventure that felt familiar enough for a first-timer. “It was utterly addictive with a unique rhythm that was hard to replicate with the other models we tested,” she adds. The beads offered more control and a rewarding bead-to-bead acclimatization that turned out to be more filling than anticipated.”

On the other end, the anal plug-like bulb offered more fullness and instant gratification. The tighter and anchored feel held in place better than we expected, but its lack of a soft give made it unsuitable for extended wear. That shouldn’t be an issue, however, because the tapered end is more of a mid-make-out session accessory to enjoy during one of those lazy afternoons.

Regarding versatility, the piece proved a reliable multitasker. Whether you want to use it solo, during foreplay, or sex, there’s something for everyone. It won’t hit your deepest sweet spots, and we didn’t expect it to, but you can enjoy the joy of switching between bead-to-bead acclimatization and a fuller, instant gratification.

Like other glass wands, Gläs Titus adapted to ambient temperature, allowing users to either use warm or cool water before play for implosive temperature play. “I tried both thrills, and I’m afraid the warm sensations stood out,” says Rachel Sommer. “I also cooled it, but mostly to use for teasing fun with Jessica: she loved using the cold tip on my nipples.”

Although stiff, the crystal-clear borosilicate glass has a smooth finish and small dimensions, making it easy to use. More importantly, the material stands out as one of the best sex toy materials. It was not as delicate as we expected, but we don’t advise dropping it on the floor. Our testers pointed out the secure and reliable feel on the hands, with no sharp joints or awkward edges to worry about.

Lastly, the model proved easy to use thanks to its size and shape. The beads varied in width, with a 0.25″ difference between the smallest and largest size. The gradual widening and tapered shape on the other end laid the foundation for gradual anal stretching, giving the body time to adapt to the new sensations. Although all glass toys are slippery with lube flowing, the ringed base offered more grip, giving you more control over the experience.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, when we label the piece as beginner-friendly, we mean it. While it’s not a disappointing thing for the article, intermediates and anyone who’s outgrown the newbie status will find the teasing fun disappointing. It’s strictly for beginners!

Our testers also communicated the disappointment that the beginner-friendly product didn’t include a lube sachet. If you’re using a glass toy for the first time, running into a lube sample will certainly make a difference.

Why Gläs Titus is the most beginner-friendly:

• Design: The design language stood out among the beginner-friendly models we tested. For starters, the multi-use shape with a beaded end and another with a tapered bulb offered more possibilities. The beaded tip was more ideal for slow, teasing acclimatization, while the other was suitable for more fullness and instant gratification. Its compact body offered a reprieve for beginners with sensitive skin, offering a smooth transition from the 0.75″ bead to the 0.95″ node near the base.
• Ease of Use: Among the glass anal beads we tested, Titus was the easiest to use. Besides the well-thought-out dimensions, its gradual widening from the tip to the base on both ends simplified penetration. It offered gentle stretching, allowing the body to adjust to the changes slowly. In addition, the designer added a ring base, making the piece easy to grip even with lubed-up hands.
• Stimulation: The Gläs Titus’ beaded end made everyone’s eyes sparkle with anticipation. Sandra Larson described the pop-pop-pop sensations during insertion as heavenly. “It felt more familiar for a first timer, but also utterly addictive with a unique rhythm.” While the beads offered more control and a rewarding build-up, the tapered anal-plug bead on the other end provided more fullness and instant gratification. This double-whammy feeling was not possible with the other beginner-friendly picks we tested.

Features:

• Material: Borosilicate glass
• Insertable Length: 2.25″
• Diameter: 0.75″ – 0.95″
• Probe Diameter: 1″

You can read our Gläs Titus review in this article.

Pros:

• Impressive multi-use design.
• Easy to use.
• Gentle anal stretching.
• High-quality borosilicate glass.
• Convenient ring base.

Cons:

• It doesn’t come with a lube sample.

Other Good Alternatives

Lovehoney Beaded Sensual is the perfect Chrystalino Planets alternative. Its beautiful, artistic design includes crystal-clear borosilicate glass that catches the sun’s light, making for a vitalizing glow. Besides the alluring finish, our testers loved the multiple beads because they gave the user more control, allowing them to choose the number of beads they could insert depending on their mood and experience.

Something else that stood out with the Beaded Sensual from Lovehoney was the gentle curve in the middle. It made it easy to twist and manipulate the toy to land on the prostate or G-spot. This way, you don’t have to sweat it out. Just slip it in and focus on what matters the most: having a great time. And for temperature play fans, the borosilicate glass lets you heat or cool it for thrilling solo or partnered kicks.

Gläs 11.5″ is the ideal pick for kinky folks looking to have their cake and eat it. A total length of 11.5 inches and a maximum diameter of 2 inches made it a bully, ready for the more experienced users looking to test the limits. It felt heavy in the hand, and sliding it through the anal sphincters was an experience that’ll live with me forever.

The review team loved how 7 inches of the shaft replicated a dildo with a tapered head, well-defined coronal ridge, and textured shaft. The remaining 4 inches included three beads graduating in size towards the middle. Its versatile shape opened the door for endless possibilities, allowing you to make the most of the experience.

Are glass anal beads safe?

Yes, glass anal beads, as long as they are made with high-quality and durable glass (i.e., borosilicate), are extremely safe to use. Though you have to be extra careful with them during cleaning to avoid chipping the glass on your porcelain sink, they will not break inside you, regardless of how rough you are with them.

Glass Anal Beads vs Silicone Anal Beads?

Glass and silicone anal beads have a few key differences that make them better suited for particular palates. First and foremost, silicone anal beads (like in the image below) are usually separated from each other on a long length of string, making them better at delivering a “popping” sensation, while glass products are more designed to be used as textured wands or butt plugs.

Silicone is also generally spongier in texture, granting it a level of flexibility that most beginners appreciate. That being said, the solidity of glass, in conjunction with its usually heavy weight, means that glass toys are better suited for delivering a more filling sensation. Finally, texture-wise, silicone tends to be more “grabby” than glass and stainless steel products, which glide easily against the skin, and a bonus of using glass toys is that you’re free to use them with silicone-based lube, which is thicker than other lube types, allowing you to enjoy a high-friction session worry-free.

How To Use Glass Anal Beads?

If you’re new to using glass beads, this step-by-step will tell you everything you need to know about getting started with this unique toy type:

1. Whatever the type of sex toy, always start by making sure it’s squeaky clean, even if it’s fresh out of the box. Since anal beads are so textured, take extra time to ensure you’ve gotten into all their nooks and crannies.
2. Most glass products are designed with a lot of extra length, so it’s not a bad idea to also rinse your bum, using either an enema, douche, or just your finger and only water (never put soap in your ass!) to safeguard against it attracting unnecessary debris.
3. Don’t forget that glass is compatible with temperature play! Before hitting the bedroom, consider running your toy under cool or warm water.
4. Now the fun begins. You have the option of either inserting your toy up to its flared base and wearing it like a butt plug or quickly inserting and removing it for additional sensation.
5. When the fun is over, make sure to thoroughly clean it, using the instructions listed below.

Glass anal beads are generally an easy toy to get the hang of. But if you’re looking for additional information about the safe usage of your new toy, check out our guide about how to use anal beads.

How To Clean Glass Anal Beads?

Keeping your anal beads clean is essential to preventing unwanted bacterial infections and improving your sexual health overall. Here’s an easy-to-follow tutorial:

1. Wet your beads with warm water and wipe them down with a sex toy cleanser or mild soap. You can use your fingers or a soft cloth to remove all the debris, but you should avoid anything abrasive that may scratch the glass.
2. Once clean, dry it completely using a clean towel before storing it somewhere safe in either a box or a cloth bag.

Glass is generally one of the easier toy materials to care for. That being said, for everything you need to know about caring for your toy, check out our extensive guide. [1]
