Are glass vibrators safe?

Creating Strong Glass

Glass vibrators are typically made from hand blown glass. We carry glass vibrators produced by Phallix who incorporates a multi-step process in the glass vibrator creation process that not only creates beautiful pieces, but products that are safe and free of defects.

The process begins with high quality medical grade Pyrex glass. This glass is hypoallergenic and non-porous which means the final product is easy to clean and can even be sterilized between uses. After the glass is formed into the final shape and colored it is tempered, which changes the structure of the glass. The process of tempering begins with heating glass to a temperature just below the melting point, and ends by quickly cooling it down. The result is glass that is approximately five times stronger than non-tempered glass. The tempering process also produces glass that won't create sharp edges if it breaks. Tempered glass breaks into small squares instead of large, razor sharp pieces. In the United States, glass used to make automobile windshields and patio doors goes through the same tempering process.

Another safety feature is the actual size and thickness of the glass used to make vibrators. It is very thick and compact, instead of thin and delicate. A vibrating inner core is inserted tightly into the finished shaft which essentially closes it off, creating a solid mass. The end result is a product that is very difficult to break. Although we don't recommend this and don't guarantee that you won't damage the vibrator, you could probably drop it onto solid concrete without breaking it. You could certainly drop a glass vibrator onto a hardwood floor without damage - at least to the vibrator. The wood floor might not fare as well.

As an added benefit, all Phallix glass vibrators are guaranteed safe and defect free by the manufacturer. Each glass piece is inspected for flaws and defects as the final part of the production process.

As we mentioned before, glass vibrators are very easy to clean. All you need is a little soap and hot water, some rubbing alcohol or a dab of sex toy cleaner - whatever you have handy. Glass, unlike silicone, rubber, jelly or plastic is not affected by most cleaning solutions. Just be sure to avoid harsh abrasives and you'll be fine. A quick rinse with a little soap and water should do the trick.
