The Icicles No. 15 is a hand-blown glass dildo that includes a vibrating bullet and is sold by FunWares. The glass dildo and the vibrating bullet are two completely different items, but they come together in a unique way. The Icicles No. 15 is a glass dildo that is about seven inches long with a diameter of about 3/4 inches with a very intense texture on it.
The packaging, like all Icicles toys, is really well-done. It comes in a cardboard box that is high-quality and includes a little “window” to allow you to see the Icicles No. 15 sitting in its specially-made foam tray inside the box. I definitely do wish that the toy came with a storage bag; the box is gorgeous, but if you tend to want to be on the discreet side, the box is a bit large for long-term storage. I will end up purchasing a padded storage bag to keep my Icicles No. 15 safe from any harm.
The Icicles No. 15 is one of the vibrating glass rabbits. It’s only one of the few vibrating glass rabbit vibrators that exist. It’s interesting how it works. The Icicles No. 15 glass dildo itself is completely seperate from the vibrations of the bullet vibrator. Instead, there’s a hole at the base of the Icicles No. 15. You can insert the bullet of the bullet vibrator into this hole, and then the dildo will vibrate with the vibrations of the remote. The bullet can slip back out if you are rough with it (like rough thrusting), but it does tend to stay inside the wand relatively well.
The texture of the toy itself is really intense. Throughout the Icicles No. 15 dildo, there are “bulbs” where the toy’s shaft goes in and out like little bubbles. Along the first bulb, there is an intense swirled texture. Throughout the rest of the bulbs and the shaft, though, there are dots that are on the shaft, and those dots definitely stick out! They can definitely be felt during use and with your hand, and you can see more about the actual use of the texture in the paragraphs below.
The bullet vibrator runs on three AAA batteries which can be inserted through the backside of the remote. The bullet can be unplugged from the remote to make it easier to store the two of them, and there’s a special place in the packaging for the remote to be stored as well. There’s controls on the front of the remote that make it simple to control the vibrator as well.
As the Icicles No. 15 is made of glass, it can be used like all glass toys can. Without the bullet attached, you can submerge it in warm or cool water, and the toy will take on that temperature of the water. Along with that, because it’s glass, the toy only takes a slight bit of lubricant, and with that slight bit of lubricant, it will insert easily. Depending upon your body, you may not require any lubricant at all, but because of the texture, I would definitely recommend using at least a little bit of lubricant.
During use, I stopped using the bullet as it was starting to smell a bit like smoke. I had this issue with the other Icicles vibrating rabbit as well. Normally, I love the Pipedream Products vibrating bullets, but these bullets really do not seem to work well. I’d love to see Pipedream redesign these bullets for optimal use with the vibrating rabbits to really have an award-winning and perfect product. If you have a skinny bullet vibrator, though, you can insert it into the end of the Icicles No. 15 glass dildo, though, and use that for the vibrations instead of the vibrations coming from the vibrating bullet.
From what I tried with the vibrations, though, the vibrations do transfer through the glass okay. It’s okay, and it’s nothing too strong, but you can definitely tell that the toy is vibrating during use. I don’t think, if you were using the toy clitorally, you could achieve orgasm just from the vibrations going through the glass, but you certainly can tell that it is vibrating.
The Icicles No. 15 glass dildo is pretty thin in thickness. It’s only about 3/4 of an inch in thickness – if that. The texture is described above, but I must say that, during use, the texture can be pretty intense! The head of the toy seems to feel the best with the swirls, but those dots on the shaft of the toy can certainly feel like too much. I would recommend really lubricating this toy and definitely being warmed up before using this. If the diameter of the toy was any larger, I think those dots could actually be painful. Because of the smaller size, they aren’t quite painful, but if you aren’t expecting them or don’t like the sensation of bumps, they could certainly feel awkward. Along with that, there’s a little “t” at the base of the toy which, if vibrating, can feel really nice, and even if it’s not vibrating, it can be used for stimulation of the vulva for more pleasure during use.
Both of the items fit together well. However, you can use each item separately as well. If you want to just use the Icicles No. 15 glass dildo as a dildo, you can certainly do that, and you don’t have to add on the vibrations from the vibrating bullet. If you just want to use the vibrating bullet, you certainly can do that as well. The bullet can be used on its own as well, but you do have to keep in mind that the bullet is slightly shorter than the “average” bullet, so it may not be the same size that you’re used to.
For cleaning, you want to use warm water and antibacterial soap. The bullet doesn’t seem to be waterproof, so make sure not to submerge it or get it in the water. You can definitely cover the glass dildo in a condom if you want to use it with multiple partners. It’s compatible with all types of lubricant, and it could be sterilized with a bleach solution if you wanted.
Overall, the Icicles No. 15 glass dildo is okay. I’m not sure why the vibrating bullet seems to have this smoke-smell issue, but it happened on my other Icicles vibrating toy and other reviewers have had that issue too. Along with that, the dots on the shaft could possibly be too intense for some. Aside from those issues, though, the little handle makes it easy to use, the texture on the tip is really pleasurable, and the small size mixed with the glass makes it easy to insert and use.
