Pyrex® is a trade name by Corning for a type of glass, specifically Borosilicate Glass, that has become a standard. While the Glass is not made by Corning it is Borosilicate, so everyone tends to refer to it by its more well known name. Borosilicate Glass, or Pyrex, is a special class of heat resistant, chemical resistant, very strong and resiliant glass that is not only special in its composition but is also heated and cooled in specific ways to give it the qualities required for medical, scientific, and sexual use.

Absolutely! They are very strong, very easy to keep clean, and will outlast, outperform, and outsatisfy any other form of Dildo you can find.

Never, never, never! There are many 'glass' products out there that are no more than an outer glass shell with liquid or gel inside. Some claim this is done for extra sensation, pleasure, etc. But the fact is that these can be machine made (rather than handmade like good quality Pyrex Glass Dildos) and as such are much cheaper to produce. You do NOT want to buy low quality glass products.

There are so many reasons for the growing popularity of Pyrex Glass Dildos:

• They can last forever.
• They are easy to clean, chemical resitant, odor resistant.
• The sensations from glass, its weight, its varying shapes is unlike any other 'toy' experience.
• Glass Dildos can be warmed or cooled for a variety of sensations.
• People are discovering that unlike many other toys, Glass Dildos are one of those 'staple toys' that one never grows tired of (much like your favourite little vibrator).
• They are visually stimulating, artful even. You don't need to hide your Glass toys as you might your other naughty bits. Some people actually display them!
• Because they last long after you throw away other toys, the value of Glass Dildos is actually quite exceptional.
• And the list goes on and on... bottom line is that the sale of Glass Toys is growing exponentially driven by people who try one, then find they'd like to collect many!

Unlike most adult toys, Glass Dildos are HANDMADE. That's right. A real human carefully crafts every single piece that we sell. And because they are made by hand it is only expected that no two pieces will be exactly alike. This is part of the beauty of Glass. While many people might buy the same 'design', just like handmade jewellery or art, no two pieces will ever be exactly identical.

Absolutely. While Pyrex Glass is meant to deal with extreme temperatures, there are still a few guidelines to follow:

• Warm your Glass Dildo with warm or hot water. Do not microwave or put your Glass Dildo in an oven, barbeque, use a blow torch, or anything nasty like that. Be gentle, and remember that the person who might enjoy the warm does not want any nasty surprises.
• Cool your Glass Dildo with cool or cold water. Do not freeze it or stick it in the snow. Frozen glass tends to get stuck in places undesirable! Again, be gentle and reasonable.
• Do not subject your Glass Dildo to changing extremes. For instance, do not heat it up then plunge it into icewater. Pyrex can handle such extremes, but any glass does have its limits.

Under normal use and with proper care, no, your Glass Dildo is not going to break. Most pieces can actually withstand a fair bit of bumping without any problem. But it IS Glass. So if you drop it on a hard surface, then it still can break. If you ever chip or break your piece, be sure to dispose of it right away (and try not to cry while you wait for your new one to arrive).

This is another area where Glass Dildos leave all other toys in the dust. Because they are not pourous they are easy to clean and are hypoallergenic, totally safe for people with allergies or sensitivies to just about anything. They are, in fact, recommended by doctors for just this reason.

Yes. Any of our pieces with color have that color embedded right into the glass, not at the surface. You should definitely avoid any glass toys that have color that is painted or glazed onto the surface as many of the hypoallergenic properties are sacrificed. All of our toys are completely safe in this regard.

Again, with the nonporous quality of Glass Dildos, any sex lubricant will do as nothing will be absorbed by the piece. In fact you will find that you typically require less lubricant than you might use with other toys, and often you'll need none at all.

That one is easy. Glass Dildos can be more expensive than 'traditional' material dildos because they are made by hand, not by a machine. They are a form of art, not a hunk of silicone or rubber. But while you may pay a little more upfront for your piece, it can last forever. And when you consider an item you will have in your drawer for decades, the actual cost becomes much less than most any other alternative you might chose. Glass Dildos are, hands down, the best value in adult toys today.

Caring for your Pyrex Glass Dildo is very easy. But if you take proper care of your collection, they can last a lifetime. Here are a few suggestions for cleaning and caring for your Glass toys.
