Review - Icicles no.11 Ribbed Anal Massager


  


An idea of the range available

 



Fancy



The Icicles range of glass dildos and massagers are created by the Pipedream company. This series of toys is actually quite large, with shapes, colours and erotic features for almost everyone.  This particular massager is known as no. 11.



Plain




Firstly, when considering buying one, remember this: the Icicles series are packaged in one of two ways. Your choices of dildo/massager packaging are: fancy and plain. My massager retailed for $54.95 in 'plain' but for the 'fancy', expect to pay between $5-$20 extra, depending on where you purchase it from. In retrospect, I would recommend that you pay the extra as the 'fancy' box contains a styrofoam cube in which the toy rests in a purpose-built niche, protecting it from bumps and knocks in the future. Much less time-wasting then sewing your own padded velvet bag, which is what I had to do when I realised it wasn't safe how it was. If you have read my previous rant on glass toys, then you know the dangers facing glass dildos and the importance of correct dildo storage.

Icicles no. 11 Ribbed Anal Massager is a solid piece of glass at 15cm long, weighing in at about 200 grams. It has a number of flanges along the shaft for safety with anal play, each with a different feature: a studded head, a smooth knob halfway along the shaft, and about 3cms of ridged glass with 1/2cm ridges topped with a knob on the end. This range of features gives a lot of variation during play, either end can be used to create different sensations and this one toy can be used two or three different ways. Although it is labelled as an anal toy, it works equally well vaginally.

As it is made of glass, the massager can be used for all kinds of sensation play, if you are unsure as to what that is, refer to this previous post. The Pipedream website actually recommends putting it in the microwave to be heated up, but if that sounds too dangerous, run a room-temperature massager through some hot water for a minute or two. Another positive to this massager includes ease of clean up (as glass is non-porous).

The only negatives I can come up with for the Icicles no. 11 Ribbed Anal Massager is the poorly-thought out packaging that I purchased the product with, and I should have anticipated that particular problem. Icicles no. 11 is a beautiful product, and a expertly handmade object. It is very versatile regarding sensation and use, and if you need the vibrating option, you can place a double-motored cockring such as the Adam & Eve All Nighter Dual Wireless Cockring around the shaft to provide extra sensation. I would recommend an item from the Icicles range for almost everyone, as there is a size, colour and style to suit all tastes for masturbation and/or penetration.
