Glass Sex Toys Proper Care and Storage
The first thing to consider in the care of glass sex toys is the fact that it is in fact glass. I know that this seems to be a "no-brainer" but that is the exact reason for this article, to inform the uninformed. While Phallix glass sex toys are kiln tempered borosilicate (Pyrex) glass which makes them stronger than "normal" glass that you may be familiar with (I.E. a wine glass or a window pane) it is still fragile by nature. While Glass sex toys are more than strong enough for your intimate pleasure don't be surprised if they crack or chip if you were to drop it on a hard enough surface such as concrete. Even the slightest damage will turn this from a wonderful plaything to just another dust collector in a display case.
So with that being said you will want to be more careful when using a glass sex toy than you may be when you one of rubber or plastic. Especially once you've added your favorite personal lubricant! Any type of moisture will make a glass surface extra slippery and it's even exaggerated by the super slick formulation of a sex lube like Phallix's Glass Orgasm. That's what they're designed for, to make things slippery! So be extremely cautious once you've lubed up your glass sex toy! We recommend that you use them only in a soft environment like a bed in a carpeted bedroom and not on a tiled countertop in a tiled kitchen!
In terms of storage we highly recommend that you your glass sex toy in a soft Phallix glass dildo pouch when it's not in use. We include a pouch with each Phallix we sell and we suggest that you always make use of it. It will keep your toy dry and protected from scratches and damage that may be cause by an impact with a hard surface. [More Info on pouches and protection]
To keep your glass sex toy clean we recommend the use of warm water and a mild anti-bacterial soap. Keep in mind that with glass you can use just about anything to clean it. You can place it in a dishwasher or even sterilize it in an autoclave! We do recommend that you are careful about the type of soap you use, if you notice that you are experiencing any sort of discomfort or other effects try another soap or just plain warm water if you'd like.

As we've mentioned throughout our site glass sex toys do have some real advantages over adult toys made of other materials. The main benefit is that they are much cleaner than those made of rubber or plastic and they will not deteriorate over time. If cared for properly they will literally last forever! Although not all glass sex toys are created equal! We sell only Phallix glass and for good reason, Phallix uses the highest quality Borosilicate glass in their creations. Pyrex is a brand of Borosilicate glass but there are others and some are actually of higher quality. Some companies don't even use "Pyrex" to manufacture their glass toys so you really want to be careful. "Pyrex" is temperature resistant and can be heated up or cooled down (another fun advantage) while others may become damaged under extreme circumstances.
Never use a sex toy made of "soft glass" or "hot glass", this is another type of glass use for sculpting and not safe for use as a sex toy. We also do not recommend the use of any other sort of glass object in your sexual activities (I.E. bottles, test tubes, beakers, light bulbs) it may sound fun but these objects are not meant for this application and may very well send you to the emergency room.
If you follow some simple "common sense" guidelines similar to what we have stated here a glass sex toy can really spice up your sex life. As we've mentioned they'll last for a lifetime of love, they really are "The Art Of Sex".
