Icicles No. 25 Glass Butt Plug

Bigger Than It Looks

Texture and material construction: The Icicles No. 25 by Pipedream is a beautiful glass butt plug of medium to large girth. The glass itself is very smooth and is clear in both appearance and color. There is no tint to the coloring that I noticed. In design, the plug has a pleasant tear drop shape. The tip is nice and round, which makes insertion more pleasant. Furthermore, the gradual increase in size that the tear drop shape creates also makes insertion more comfortable.

The size of the plug is definitely a challenge; especially if you are an anal play novice. However, the shape is conducive to comfortable insertion. The neck of this plug is thin but still thicker than some others I’ve seen. This is a plus because a little more girth means a little more pressure on the walls of your sphincter muscles.

The base of the toy is nice and flat, which makes sitting with it in very comfortable. It’s small enough to not be too intrusive but big enough that I don’t worry about it getting lost. Overall it is a well-made plug.

My one real complaint is that it did not come with a storage bag. When you receive the toy, it comes in a very attractive black and white cardboard box, and is embedded in a thick piece of Styrofoam. If one is inclined, it would make a very nice way to store your toy. However, I found that the box took up way too much room because it’s significantly bigger than the toy. Also, it is in no way discreet as it has pictures of the toy pretty much on all sides. Aside from that though, I really had no complaints about this product.

Review Details: Although I like this plug, I must say that after I got this toy in the mail I soon realized that I clearly underestimated its size. Even now when I hold it in my hand it doesn’t seem that big. However, when I first attempted to insert it, I just could not insert the whole thing. I used a ton of lube, prepped myself with fingers and other toys but nothing worked. Even though it has a relatively steady increase in size, my body just could not get accustomed to the largest part of the toy. It may not look very wide but my body tells a completely different story. And since I know better than to push myself past a point I’m not ready for,

I put this plug aside and worked on my game plan. In order to loosen up my muscles I decided to first use my Doxy Skittle and large Njoy Pure Plug. The Doxy Skittle has really deep vibration so I figured it might help my muscles relax a bit. And considering the Pure Plug is just slightly smaller than the Icicles No. 25, I hoped that it would help prep my muscles for a larger plug. I used the Doxy Skittle anally until I came and then inserted the Pure Plug. I left the Pure Plug in for about a half hour before I removed it and tried inserting the Icicles No. 25 again.

I found that prepping with another plug definitely helped. It still took several attempts and a lot of lube before it slid in but I was able to fully insert it. And once it was in, it felt really good. I love the full feeling it gave me. I love the way the neck felt against my sphincter as I walked. And I found it super comfortable to sit with it in. At one point I actually forgot it was in and sat down pretty hard on my carpeted bedroom floor. Now, that is not something I recommend considering its glass. However, I was surprised that it didn’t hurt. All I felt was some extra pressure. The only time I really felt uncomfortable wearing this plug was actually when I was lying flat. For some reason that position caused a lot of discomfort for me. I had to use my Liberator wedge to lift my hips in order to masturbate with it in.

When I did masturbate, I didn’t find that the plug added substantially to my orgasm. The neck really wasn’t thick enough for that (I need a thick stem to squeeze around). Also, I found that the girth of the plug actually made it harder for me to come if I was using a dildo vaginally. I did eventually come but it was hard earned and kind of lack luster. I’m still not sure why that is but it was certainly an interesting discovery.

Then, when I went to remove the plug I actually found it quite difficult, again because of the size, and a bit painful. After several attempts I figured out that it was easiest to remove it by squatting down and pushing against the walls of my sphincter as I pulled. The process was a lot more pleasant that way. Honestly, playing with this plug was a really great learning experience. I’m still an anal novice and trying a slightly bigger plug is allowing me to discover what works and what doesn’t. How I want to use my toys and how I don’t.

This is a really great plug but to really get the full benefits of it I think I need more practice and to probably go slower. Also, the more and more I use anal toys the more I’m finding that I don’t really like plugs for masturbation. I do however find them helpful for prepping myself for girthier thrusting anal toys. Once I get more comfortable with this plug that is what I will be using it for most often. I think it is pretty much the perfect girth for that.
