The Chrystalino Tickler is richly hued, curved and sculpted, hand-blown glass. It’s almost a work of art. And it goes up the butt. If this intrigues you, keep reading to learn more about this unique sex toy.
The Chrystalino Tickler is engineered with beads that go from smaller to not-so-small, so you can ease into anal exploration. This makes it both beginner-friendly and well suited for folks who know their tolerance. It’s also beautiful blue borosilicate glass that would not be out of place in a gallery.
Who Should Try It? This one is a great choice for anyone who is interested in exploring anal beads, whether you’re brand-new to butt stuff or just ready for something a little different. It’s also a good choice for folks who really appreciate nice things; it’s aesthetically pleasing and super high quality.
Who Can Skip It? This one was not designed with size queens in mind. And on the other end of the spectrum, if you value softness and flexibility in your anal toys, this isn’t for you either. It’s also not something that can comfortably be worn under clothes or even while sitting down.
You Can Buy It on the My Sex Fantasies website for $59.99.
What Is the Chrystalino Tickler?
The Chrystalino Tickler is a 4.5” plug made of cobalt blue borosilicate glass. The plug consists of graduated glass globes, like a set of anal beads, with a wide looped handle.
Borosilicate glass is a premium material for sex toys. It’s also used in laboratory equipment and high-end bakeware because it’s tempered, it won’t shatter, and it is very responsive to temperature changes.
The Tickler is obviously intended for anal use, but there’s no reason why it couldn’t be used vaginally as well if you were so inclined (just make sure that you wash it first if it was used anally). It can also be warmed or chilled for temperature play. The looped handle is wide enough to make this plug safe for solo anal play, and it’s also fun to use with a partner.
First Impressions and Features
Unboxing
The Tickler makes an excellent first impression. It comes in a heavy matte-finish box with elegant printing and a product photo. The box slides open like a drawer, and the Tickler is cradled in sculpted white foam. It was well protected and arrived in perfect condition. Inside the box is a glossy little brochure of other Chrystalino toys.
The Chrystalino Tickler itself gleams dark blue against the white foam, and the inner box is a perfect match for the blue. The finish is flawless. The toy is shiny and heavy. The overall impression is luxe!

How to Use the Chrystalino Tickler?
The Chrystalino Tickler anal beads are elegant in their simplicity. You don’t have to install batteries, plug in a charger, download an app, or program a remote control. All you need is the Tickler and some good lube. Borosilicate glass is compatible with all types of lube, and we prefer silicone or oil-based lubes for anal play since they are thicker and do not dry out as quickly.
- Apply the lube to the toy and to your body. Start by rubbing the tip of the smallest bead around the entrance to your anus, and then gently insert the first bead. You will almost certainly feel where each bead stops and the next one begins — almost a “pop,” but in a good way. Take a moment to let your body adjust, and decide if you want to stop there or try the next bead.
- Once you’re familiar with the Tickler, you can experiment with temperature play. You can warm the toy in a bowl of warm (not hot) water; be sure to test it on your wrist or thigh before you insert the toy. If you want to chill it, use a bowl of cold water or put it in the refrigerator. Never freeze it, because frostbite won’t feel sexy.
My Personal Experience
We have played with glass toys before, but the Chrystalino Tickler is a little different than the typical glass plug or dildo. The stacked beads promised a new experience, and they delivered!
All anal toys need a wide or flared base for safety, especially during solo play. The sphincter muscles are stronger than most people realize, and they can contract involuntarily and suck a toy (too) deep into your rectum. The looped handle here is wide enough for safety, and also to control the toy during solo sessions. I really did enjoy playing with my wand after I’d eased the Tickler in; every time my hips moved, I could feel the beads.
Glass is great for temperature play. When the Tickler was warmed, it slid in even more easily, and when it was chilled, I could feel every detail of every bead. It’s amazing how the same toy can feel so very different at different temperatures.
Design
This is an exceptionally well-designed plug. The curvy, graduated globes function similarly to anal beads but look much more elegant. The wide, looped handles serve as both a safety feature and a grip. The whole thing is a glossy, jewel-toned cobalt blue that gleams in the light. It is on the small side in both length and girth, but it still manages to have major presence.
Material
The Chrystalino Tickler is made entirely from hand-blown borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is body-friendly and completely submersible, so you can wash, soak, or even boil it if necessary. It is also compatible with all types of lube: water-based, silicone, hybrid, and oil-based. This glass is non-porous, which means that it won’t absorb stains or smells. It also won’t get linty, like some silicone toys do.
Stimulations
The unique beaded design of the Chrystalino Tickler means that you can feel each bead as it enters your anus, and this feels better than you might expect! The glass is firm and somewhat heavy, so even though the Tickler is relatively short and slender, you do get a pleasant sense of pressure. Glass is perfect for temperature play, so you can increase the stimulation potential by warming or chilling the Tickler.
Build Quality
We have no notes here. The Chrystalino Tickler is very, very well made. There are no seams, bubbles, or other imperfections in the hand-blown glass. The deep blue color is consistent throughout. It is heavy and balanced in the hand.
Ease of Use
There’s no setup or prep necessary, other than making sure that you have plenty of good-quality lube. The Chrystalino Tickler is beginner-friendly in both size and shape, since the smallest bead has a rounded tip to make insertion smooth. It’s also easy to clean; you can wash with soap and water or use a specialized sex toy cleaner. You can also soak or boil it if it needs extra attention.
Versatility
The Chrystalino Tickler is intended for anal use, but can also be used vaginally or anywhere else you (or your partner) desire. It pairs well with a wand vibrator or stroker. You can warm it or chill it to experiment with temperature play. And the Tickler is good for both solo and partnered play.
Warranty and Support
Shots America does not sell directly to consumers, so any warranty issues or refunds will need to go through the retailer you purchased from. We suggest that you check the retailer’s policies before you buy. Most will take back products that are dead on arrival, but the rest varies.
Minor Issues I Found During Testing
Overall, we were impressed with the Chrystalino Tickler. It is very well made, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to — tickle and tease. However, if you’re looking for more than teasing, you may feel a little frustrated. This toy is slender and not particularly heavy, so you aren’t going to feel a lot of fullness or pressure.
The loop handle is wide enough for safe solo anal play, and we appreciate that, but it can get pretty slippery when there’s a lot of lube on board. This makes it difficult to hold onto or control. This is easily remedied if you use a clean, thin washcloth (or similar) to help grip, but a little silicone would have gone a long way here.
Borosilicate glass is tempered to be stronger than regular glass, but it’s still glass. The Tickler may break or chip if you drop it, which is easy to do when it’s slippery. Any chip in the glass surface means that it’s no longer non-porous and body-friendly, because that chip or crack can harbor bacteria or other microorganisms. If you want to keep using the toy, you’ll have to put a condom over it before each use.

Alternatives to the Chrystalino Tickler
We love the Chrystalino Tickler and we think that you will too, but if you want to explore some alternatives, we suggest:
Rosebuds Small Aluminum Plug
The Rosebuds Small Aluminum Plug is obviously not glass, but the anodized aluminum does share many of the same advantages: it’s body-friendly, easy to clean, compatible with all lubes, and temperature-responsive. This sweet little plug is a gorgeous deep rose with a sparkly crystal in its base. It is shorter than the Chrystalino Tickler, but it’s also more compact so you can wear it for hours, even under your clothes.
Pipedreams Icicles No. 26 Glass Plug
If you feel like the Chrystalino Tickler isn’t going to be quite enough to satisfy you, the Pipedreams Icicles No. 26 Glass Plug might be. It’s also borosilicate glass, and it’s very very solid. This is a classic butt plug with a rounded tip, bulbous body, and wide base. It’s got girth and it’s got heft. We don’t recommend it for beginners, but we do recommend it if you feel like the Tickler would be only an appetizer.
