Are Glass Sex Toys Safe? And Why Are They So Popular?

When it comes to exploring new sensations or leveling up your toy game, glass sex toys might seem like a bold choice. If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering, Wait… glass? Like actual glass? you’re not alone. The idea might sound intimidating at first, but once you learn more, it’s easy to see why glass toys are beloved by so many. Let’s talk about why you might want to try one and whether they’re actually safe to use.

First off, yes, they’re absolutely safe when made from body-safe, non-porous, medical-grade borosilicate glass (and all of the ones at Nox are!). That’s the same type used in laboratory equipment and high-end cookware. It’s strong, temperature-resistant, and designed not to crack or chip under pressure. The key is to buy from a reputable brand that clearly states the materials used. 

One of the biggest reasons people love glass toys is the feel. Glass offers a smooth, almost silky texture that glides effortlessly across the skin and internal walls, especially with a little lube. Since it’s non-porous, it won’t absorb fluids or bacteria, which makes it especially good for those with sensitivities or who are prone to infections.

Glass is also amazing for temperature play. You can warm it under running water or cool it in the fridge to experience different sensations. Just make sure you test it on the inside of your wrist first. Think warm bath or cool breeze, not hot tea or icy shock.

Then there’s the firmness. Unlike silicone or other softer materials, glass is completely rigid. That makes it perfect for anyone who enjoys direct pressure or targeted stimulation. Many glass toys are curved or textured in ways that make G-spot or prostate play extra satisfying.

And yes, glass toys are beautiful. Many of them look like miniature sculptures with swirls of color, ridges, or elegant shapes. Some people even keep them displayed on shelves or in drawers where they double as eye candy.

One important thing to keep in mind is how you store them. While borosilicate glass is strong, it’s still glass. Store your toy in a soft pouch or wrapped in a cloth so it doesn’t bump up against other hard items like metal toys, or even other glass pieces. A little care goes a long way in keeping your toy in perfect condition.

So if you’ve been curious, it might be time to give glass a try. Safe, easy to clean, stunning to look at, and full of new sensations to explore — glass might just be your new favorite. SHOP OUR GLASS COLLECTION
