Glass sex toys really used to freak me out. Yeah, I said it. They did! I think I had an irrational fear that it would break inside of me. I was also carrying around a narrative that I could only truly enjoy vibrators, not dildos… which is hilarious. The Unbound GEM Glass Dildo is only the second glass sex toy I’ve owned, and now I’m hooked.
Their packaging has a very femme-apple-esq vibe, and I dig it.
Let’s talk about the specs:
- Made with High-Grade Borosilicate Glass
- Total Length: 8.5″, Insertable Length: 5″, Circumference: 4.75″
- Dishwasher-safe (!!!!)
- Good for vaginal, anal, and external massage
- Great for temperature play (heat it or freeze it!)
- All lube types welcome
- Package Includes: Dildo + Storage pouch
How to Use the Unbound GEM Glass Dildo
- Wash your GEM with toy cleaner or soap and water
- Grab your favorite glycerin-free lubricant (I highly recommend Sliquid’s Sassy!)
- Start by exploring how each end feels in your body
- See what feels the best… and keep doing it
Hint: If you also want clitoral stimulation, grab a vibrator to use on your clitoris while the GEM is inside!
Who May Enjoy This Toy, Sensations, & Ways to Use the Unbound GEM Glass Dildo
Anyone looking to explore glass toys, this is a great place to start. It’s so smooth and firm going in, being inside, and pressing all the right buttons.
Why explore with glass? The primary benefits of glass sex toys include:
- Longevity – if cared for correctly and carefully, they will last a lifetime
- Non-porous
- Rigid and firm structure for different types of orgasms
- Temperature play: heat it, cool it down, or use it at room temperature
- Beautiful
- Easy-to-clean
You can use this toy vaginally, anally, or externally as a massager.
Important Note: I found that the smooth side felt best vaginally, while the bumpier side felt best anally.
Pros & Cons of the Unbound GEM Glass Dildo
Pros
- Price. It’s incredibly affordable. (between $21 and $35, depending on if it’s on sale or not)
- The versatility of usage (internal or external // temperature play or not)
- It’s GORGEOUS and incredibly well-made
- Intuitive: The toy is shaped intuitively, so when you insert it into the vagina or anus, it goes right to the spot you want
- It’s beautiful to look at in your partner’s body
Cons
- For newer users, it’s not entirely clear HOW to use this in the best way. I’d love to see a guide with ideas for using it, included with it.
Overall Rating
To summarize, I can’t find anything wrong with this toy. It’s a perfect small-ish-sized glass dildo. You can’t beat the price, and frankly, I think it’s a necessity in every home!
Overall: 5/5 stars
