Icicles No. 66: review

Icicles No. 66 — at a glance: here’s what you get

Icicles No. 66 is a hand-blown glass wand from Pipedream Products. It has no motor, no battery, and no charging cable. It is one single piece of solid glass, shaped like a row of beads that grow in diameter from the narrow tip down toward the large bead at the other end, and the entire wand is gently curved. The manufacturer describes the shape as a stepped wand with bead-like bumps, designed to be curved for stimulation of both the G-spot and the P-spot.

The specification is short, and that’s the point of this product category. The manufacturer’s own datasheet states the length as 4.75 inches, i.e. 12 centimeters, and the width as 1.25 inches, i.e. 3.5 centimeters. The material is listed as hypoallergenic, non-porous, and body-safe hand-blown glass. The wand can be warmed under warm water or in a microwave, cooled under cold water or in the freezer, and cleaned with toy cleaning detergent and warm water or in the dishwasher. That’s the whole list—there’s nothing else to specify, because there’s no electronics to specify.

This review is about the transparent version with EAN 603912338836, the manufacturer’s item number PD2966-20, and the web store number 296620. The number has been verified against the manufacturer’s own product data, where GTIN 603912338836 is linked to the product name Icicles® No. 66 - Clear, and the same number is used as the EAN-13 by the retailer Sexonic. In Sweden, the item is sold by six shops at prices between 214 and 319 SEK, and five of them had it in stock at the price check on 12 September 2026.

What Icicles is, and who is behind the series

Icicles is Pipedream Products’ series of hand-blown glass massage wands. The manufacturer describes the series in the same words on every model page: elegant, exclusive, and hand-made with great attention to detail, where each hand-blown wand is unique. That last wording is more than marketing. A hand-blown product is, by definition, not identical to the next example, and several of the Swedish shops write the same thing—that some variation may occur because the wand is hand-made.

That means in practice that the dimensions should be read as nominal values, not as tolerances. The manufacturer’s 12 centimeters and 3.5 centimeters are the series’ stated measurements for the model, not a promise that your specific unit measures exactly that. For a product without moving parts, it matters less than it would for a vibrator, but it’s worth knowing before you compare millimeters between two stores’ numerical listings.

One thing that’s worth stating right away: the model is no longer available in Pipedream’s own web shop. The most recently archived version of the manufacturer’s product page, from August 8, 2025, listed Icicles No. 66 as sold out at the list price of 29,99 USD. That doesn’t mean the product is worse—it’s still in stock at five out of six Swedish stores—but it does mean the stock is finite, and that the manufacturer’s own documentation for the model is now only available in archived form.

Clear or Black — and why the item number matters

The manufacturer has made No. 66 in two colors, and each has its own item number. PD2966-20 is the transparent one, PD2966-23 is the black one. The manufacturer’s datasheet for the black one lists exactly the same measurements as for the transparent one—4.75 inches in length and 1.25 inches in width—so it’s the same model in two versions, not two different products.

All six Swedish stores in the price comparison sell the transparent one. Joyland and Joyme explicitly list the color as Transparent, and Sexonic carries it in its assortment under the name Icicles N. 66 Transparent Massager. If you find the model at a different price somewhere else, the item number is what determines which variant you’re looking at: PD2966-20 or EAN 603912338836 is this one, and PD2966-23 is the black one.

The store product names vary more than usual for this item, which makes it difficult to compare prices by name. Vuxen calls it “Icicles No. 66,” Blush Me “Pipedream Icicles No.66 Glasdildo,” Joyland “Pipedream: Icicles No. 66” in the category anal rods, Joyme “Icicles - No. 66 - massagestav i glas” and Sexonic “Icicles N. 66 Transparent Massager” in the category plugs. Same item, five different descriptions of what it is.

Materials and build quality: hand-blown glass all the way through

The material matters more for an intimate product than anything else in a specification, because it determines whether the product can be cleaned and whether it’s still hygienic in five years. For Icicles No. 66, the answer is simple in a way that almost no other product category can match: the entire product is glass. There’s no seam, no joint, no silicone head on a plastic handle, and no battery compartment.

Why pore-free glass is the category’s best material

The manufacturer describes the glass as hypoallergenic, non-porous, and body-safe, and adds that the product is made to last a lifetime if it is cared for properly. The most important of those words is non-porous. A non-porous surface has no microscopic cavities where residue, lubricant, or bacteria can get stuck, and that’s why a non-porous surface can actually be cleaned instead of just being rinsed off.

Silicone is also non-porous, and that’s why silicone is considered a good material. Glass, however, has two properties that silicone doesn’t. The first is that glass is chemically inert: it doesn’t react with lubricants, even with silicone-based ones, and it doesn’t age because the surface doesn’t break down. The second is that glass is hard, which means that the surface can’t get micro-scratches from nails or from the product rubbing against something in a drawer. A silicone casing that has gotten a scratch can no longer be cleaned completely. With intact glass, you can always clean it completely.

What makes glass a double-edged choice is the same property: it’s hard, and it’s brittle. A glass item can’t tolerate any drops at all—whether onto tile or onto another hard product in the same drawer. That’s the only real risk in this product category, and it’s handled through storage and control, not through specifications.

Phthalates, hypoallergenic, and what glass simply avoids

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic—above all, soft PVC—pliable. Kemikalieinspektionen describes them as substances that can affect the hormone system and make reproduction more difficult, and several of them are therefore restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. The discussion about plasticizers comes up constantly in this product category, because a large part of the range consists of soft plastic that lies against the mucous membrane.

Glass needs no plasticizers. There’s no polymer to soften, and therefore nothing that can migrate out of the material. So the question of phthalates is therefore not relevant for this product—it’s irrelevant to it—and that’s a fundamental difference from a product that is declared “phthalate-free,” where the claim applies specifically to that batch and that material choice. Even so, Vuxen and Joyland still mark the product as body-safe and phthalate-free in their specification tables, and Joyme lists the material as “hypoallergenic glass, phthalate-free.” That’s true, but it’s an obvious point rather than a sales argument.

One more thing the manufacturer does not print for this model is what type of glass it is. The datasheet and the product page list only “glass”, never borosilicate glass. This matters, because borosilicate glass can handle temperature differences substantially better than regular lime-soda glass, and because temperature change is one of the product’s stated intended uses. None of the six Swedish shops lists any glass type for No. 66 either. By comparison, Vuxen lists “borosilicate glass” as the material for Dream Toys Glamour Glass Curved Wand, which shows that the information can be published when it’s available.

“Unbreakable glass” — a wording the manufacturer never uses

A shop’s claim is worth calling out, because it can lead you wrong. Vuxen describes the product in its bullet list as a “hand-blown massage wand of unbreakable glass.” That wording does not appear in any of the manufacturer’s material for the product. Pipedream states that the glass is hypoallergenic, non-porous, and body-safe, and that the product is designed to last a lifetime if it’s cared for properly—which is something entirely different from unbreakable.

The difference matters for how the product is handled. An item described as unbreakable encourages people to be careless with storage. Solid glass is resistant to wear, scratches, and cleaning agents, but it is still glass. Treat it the way you’d treat a wine glass you’re careful with—not like a tool—so it should last for practically as long as you like.

Measurements: 12 centimeters long and 3.5 centimeters wide

The manufacturer’s datasheet for PD2966-20 states Length 4.75 in. (12 cm) and Width 1.25 in. (3.5 cm). Three of the six Swedish shops reproduce both figures unchanged: Vuxen states total length 12 centimeters and diameter 3.5 centimeters, Blush Me states length 12.00 centimeters and maximum diameter 3.50 centimeters, and SexleksakerOutlet states 12 centimeters and 3.5 centimeters.

Two shops deviate on the width. Joyland gives the diameter as 3 centimeters, and adds to the description that “the diameter varies between 1.0 - 3.0”—meaning it’s a description of the balls growing along the shaft, which matches the shape but not the manufacturer’s maximum diameter. Joyme gives 2 centimeters. If a shop’s claim contradicts the manufacturer, the manufacturer applies: the maximum diameter is 3.5 centimeters. Joyland’s interval is, however, informative in a way that the manufacturer’s only figure isn’t, because it describes that the narrowest ball is significantly narrower than the widest one.

Twelve centimeters is short for a shaft in this configuration. It places No. 66 in the lower end of the series’ assortment — the manufacturer’s Icicles No. 2 is listed as 21.5 centimeters, and No. 62 as 16.5 centimeters insertable length. The combination of being short and relatively wide is typical for models intended to be inserted bit by bit rather than all the way in at once, and the graduated ball shape is the entire idea behind the construction.

Insertable length: 9 centimeters, 10.5 centimeters, or no information?

This is the clearest gap in the specification. The manufacturer does not publish an insertable length for Icicles No. 66 — only overall length. It’s not a general shortcoming of Pipedream: for Icicles No. 62, the same kind of datasheet explicitly states “Insertable Length: 6.5 in. (16.5 cm)”. For No. 66, it only says “Length.”

The shops filled in the gap on their own, and they filled it in differently. Blush Me lists insertable length as 10.50 centimeters. Joyland lists penetration length as 9 centimeters. Joyme lists insertable length as 9 centimeters. That’s a difference of 1.5 centimeters for a product that is 12 centimeters long overall, i.e., a little more than one eighth of the entire shaft. Vuxen and SexleksakerOutlet don’t list any insertable length at all.

What can be concluded is that none of the figures are backed by the manufacturer, and that the difference between them is likely due to where you think the large end ball begins. Expect usable length somewhere in the range of 9 to 10.5 centimeters, and treat every exact figure in a shop table as the shop’s own assessment until Pipedream publishes its own.

The weight story is the same, just in shorter form. The manufacturer does not publish a weight for No. 66. The retailer Joyme lists 147 grams and the package dimensions 70 × 110 × 160 millimeters in its box for additional information. None of the other six shops lists any weight at all. A massive glass shaft of this size is noticeably heavier in the hand than a silicone product of the same volume, and that weight is part of what you’re buying — but only one of the six shops has an opinion about exactly how many grams it is.

How to use a glass rod with a ball tip

There are no buttons, no app, and no programs. The entire interface is the shape, the angle, and the temperature, and those are the three things to learn instead of fourteen intensity levels. The manufacturer’s own instructions for the model consist of two sentences: rinse the shaft under warm water to heat it or under cold water to cool it, and use plenty of lube.

The graduated ball shape and the curved shaft

The manufacturer describes the shape as a graduated ball-tipped shaft that lets you comfortably get used to the size, and adds that the ball-shaped texture is made for penetration and that the shaft is curved for stimulation of the G-spot and P-spot. These are two separate design features that do two different things.

The graduated shape means that the shaft doesn’t have a single diameter, but several. Joyland describes it as having a diameter that varies between 1.0 and 3.0 centimeters along the shaft, and the manufacturer’s maximum measurement of 3.5 centimeters applies to the widest point. In practice, that means you control how much of the shaft is used, and that each bulb gives a clearly defined passage instead of a smooth glide. It’s a completely different feel than a smooth shaft with a constant diameter, and that’s the whole reason why bulb-shaped products exist as their own category.

The bend is the second half. A bent shaft of hard material transfers the angle directly—there’s no elasticity that eats up the movement, something both Vuxen and Joyland note in their tables under the labels “Not bendable” and “Hard,” respectively. That means a glass shaft reaches a point with significantly more precision than a soft product, and that’s why the material is common in models marketed toward the G-spot and prostate. It also makes it less forgiving: you can’t press harder and let the product give way, because it doesn’t give at all.

A detail that the stores describe differently: Vuxen lists the texture as “Ribbed,” while Joyland lists the surface as “Smooth.” Both describe the same object. The manufacturer’s wording is “bulbous texture”—a bulb-like, i.e., shape-marked, but in itself completely blank (perfectly smooth) surface. It’s a raised relief, not roughness.

Temperature play: warm water, microwave, refrigerator, and freezer

Temperature play is the feature that sets glass apart from everything else in the category, because glass both conducts heat and keeps it. The manufacturer’s datasheet for No. 66 is unusually specific here: the shaft can be heated under warm water or placed in the microwave, and cooled under cold water or placed in the freezer. The newer product page mentions only warm and cold water.

It’s worth stopping to consider that difference. The manufacturer publishes no temperature, no time specification, and no power rating for either the microwave or the freezer. That means there’s no guidance on how many seconds or what maximum temperature applies, and anyone who follows the instructions literally has no basis to go by. The only cautious interpretation is to stick to the method in the newer instructions—running warm or cold water—where the temperature can never be higher than the tap’s and where the entire shaft is heated evenly.

The reason why smoothness matters is that glass cracks from temperature differences inside the material, not from temperature itself. A massive glass object that is heated quickly on the outside creates stress between the warm surface and a cold core. Since the manufacturer does not state which type of glass is used, it is not possible to determine how much buffer material has against that specific type of stress. Go slowly, always test the temperature against your wrist before using the product, and skip the freezer if you want to be on the safe side.

Which lubricant works with glass?

All types. It’s one of glass’s major practical advantages, and the only product category in the category where the answer is this simple. Glass is chemically inert and is not affected by water-based, silicone-based, or oil-based lubricants. Joyland states in its specification that water- or silicone-based is recommended, which is the standard advice in retail.

In its user manual, the manufacturer recommends using plenty of lubricant—on its own product page in the form of its own product, Moist Body Lotion. Using plenty is not a sales catchphrase here: a hard, smooth surface has no lubrication of its own at all, and a graded shape with marked transitions requires more lubricant than a smooth rod of the same size.

A practical note about silicone-based lubricant: it works excellently with glass, but if you also have silicone products, you should keep the bottles separate, because silicone-based lubricants break down silicone surfaces over time. So it’s the glass that can handle everything, not the rest of the box.

Cleaning, dishwasher, and storage

The manufacturer’s care instructions are brief: since glass is non-porous, cleaning is quick, and the rod is cleaned with antibacterial toy cleaning detergent and warm water, or run through the dishwasher. It’s a more thorough cleaning option than anything a motorized alternative can offer, and it’s the concrete hygiene advantage of buying a product completely without electronics.

Can Icicles No. 66 be run in a dishwasher?

Yes, according to the manufacturer’s own datasheet for PD2966-20, which explicitly mentions the dishwasher as one of two cleaning options. Two of the Swedish stores repeat the same thing: Joyland writes that the product is extremely easy to clean, even in the dishwasher, and Joyme writes that it is dishwasher-safe.

Two caveats still deserve to be mentioned here. The first is that a dishwasher both heats and cools quickly, which is exactly the kind of stress that a glass item is most sensitive to — and, as the manufacturer says, no glass type is specified. The second is purely mechanical: a glass rod that sits loose in a dishwasher basket can knock against porcelain or the utensil holder during the program. Anyone who still chooses the dishwasher should secure the rod firmly and for their own piece of mind. For everyday use, warm water and mild, unperfumed soap are fully sufficient, precisely because the surface is non-porous.

The check that must be carried out before each use

This is the only routine a glass item requires, and it takes five seconds. Go over the entire rod with your fingertips and look at it against the light before you use it. You’re looking for chips on the edges, hairline cracks in the glass, and dull areas where the surface has been damaged. If you find any of that, the product should be discarded, not sanded down or repaired.

The reason is that glass doesn’t warn gradually in the way silicone does. A silicone sleeve that starts becoming porous still works — it just becomes progressively harder to keep clean. A chip in glass, instead, is a point where stress concentrates, and that point can go from intact to broken in one go. That’s why storage is more important than for any other product in the category: the rod should lie alone in a bag or a case, not loose together with other items in a drawer. The manufacturer doesn’t state what’s included in the package beyond the product, and none of the six Swedish shops list any included storage bag.

Anal use and the question about the base

The manufacturer states that the rod is bent for stimulation of both the G-spot and the P-spot, and that the ball-shaped texture is made for penetration. That the P-spot — the prostate — is explicitly mentioned is the manufacturer’s own statement that the model is intended for anal use as well. The shops have drawn the same conclusion: Vuxen writes “for both vaginal and anal use”, Joyland sells it under the name Icicles Analstav No. 66, and Sexonic has placed it in the category of plugs.

What the manufacturer writes about the base — and what it doesn’t write

Here there’s a difference worth understanding before you decide. The manufacturer’s datasheet for No. 66 mentions no base at all. It isn’t necessarily an omission, because in the same series Pipedream does the opposite: the datasheet for Icicles No. 62 explicitly states a sturdy flat base that provides safe and easy handling, and it also describes the base as broad and harness-compatible.

What No. 66 has instead is the large end ball, which, according to the manufacturer’s own product images, is the rod’s widest part. Vuxen lists the base type as “Utsvängd” in its table. An outward, round ball is something else than a flat, wide base: it works as a grippy stop, but it does not sit flat and it does not provide the same clearance as a clearly defined flange. None of the stores, and not the manufacturer either, states any measurement for that exact ball.

So what can be concluded is that the manufacturer itself uses the word base when a model has one, and that it does not do so for this one. If you want a glass product from the same series where the manufacturer explicitly states a sturdy flat base, No. 62 is the model that actually has that information published.

Icicles No. 66 compared with the alternatives

Three comparisons say something meaningful: versus a larger model in the same series with a published insertable length, versus the series’ long classics, and versus a glass rod from another brand in the same price range. The measurements below come from each manufacturer’s own information where such exists, and the prices from store data retrieved on September 12, 2026.

Against Icicles No. 62 — the one that has the base and the insertable length

Icicles No. 62 is the model in the series that No. 66 is most often compared to, and the difference is bigger than the number suggests. The manufacturer’s datasheet lists, for No. 62, an insertable length of 6.5 inches, i.e. 16.5 centimeters, and a width of 1.25 inches, given as 3 centimeters. It also has a tapered tip, an explicitly sturdy and flat base, and, according to the manufacturer, is compatible with a harness.

So No. 66 is shorter, wider at its widest point, and lacks the published base—but it has the stepped ball shape, which No. 62 does not have. It’s about two different experiences: a smooth, long, vein-shaped rod versus a short row of balls with marked transitions. No. 62 is also still in the manufacturer’s own range, under gtin 603912337501 and item number 296200 at the list price of 53.99 USD, while No. 66 is sold out from the manufacturer.

Conclusion: if you want length, a flat base, and the ability to use the product in a harness, then No. 62 is the obvious choice within the same series. If you want the ball shape and a shorter product, then No. 66 is the only one of the two that gives you that.

Against Icicles No. 2 — almost twice as long for 80 SEK more

Icicles No. 2 is the series’ classic, long rod. The manufacturer’s datasheet lists the length as 8.5 inches, i.e. 21.5 centimeters, and the width as 1.5 inches, i.e. 3.8 centimeters. Vuxen, which sells both models, lists for No. 2 a total length of 21.5 centimeters, a diameter of 3.8 centimeters, and a circumference of 6.5 centimeters, at a price of 319 SEK versus the recommended 349 SEK.

If you compare them in the same store, No. 2 costs 319 SEK and No. 66 costs 239 SEK — a difference of 80 SEK for an almost twice as long shaft and 0.3 centimeters more in width. In terms of price per centimeter, No. 2 is the better buy, but that’s seldom how people choose in this category. Twelve centimeters is a deliberate choice for someone who doesn’t want a long shaft, and 21.5 centimeters isn’t an upgrade for someone looking for something short and manageable.

It’s also worth noting that both models have exactly the same material description from the manufacturer — hypoallergenic, non-porous, body-safe glass — and the same care routine. So you don’t get a better material by paying more within the series. You get a different shape.

Compared to Dream Toys Glamour Glass Curved Wand — 17 centimeters borosilicate

The most interesting comparison outside the brand is less about price than about what gets published. Dream Toys Glamour Glass Curved Wand is sold by Vuxen for 249 SEK, i.e. 10 SEK more than Icicles No. 66 in the same store, and it’s listed there with a total length of 17 centimeters, a maximum diameter of 3.3 centimeters and — this is the point — the material borosilicate glass.

Borosilicate glass is the type of glass that handles temperature differences best, and that’s the exact task that Pipedream never publishes for the Icicles series. For a product whose marketing is based on it being heated and cooled, this is a real difference in the information that’s available, and it goes in the competitor’s favor even though it only differs by 10 SEK in the same store. That doesn’t mean that the Icicles glass is worse — it just means we don’t know what kind it is.

In return, the shape is different: 17 centimeters versus 12, a curved wand instead of a graduated bulb. So the choice isn’t between better and worse glass, but between a model with a published type of glass and a model with the bulb shape you might be after.

Price range: 214 to 319 SEK at six stores

Six Swedish stores sell the item with EAN 603912338836. The cheapest in the list is Sexonic at 214 SEK, and the most expensive is Joyme at 319 SEK. That’s a difference of 105 SEK or 49 percent for exactly the same item number and the same packaging.

The inventory situation changes the picture. Sexonic, which has the lowest price, had the product out of stock at the price check. Of the five stores that had it at home, Vuxen is the cheapest at 239 SEK, followed by Blush Me, SexleksakerOutlet and Joyland at 249 SEK each, and Joyme at 319 SEK. The realistic price spread is therefore 239 to 319 SEK, or 33 percent, not 49.

That four out of five available stores are within ten kronor of each other says something about how this article is priced: it’s an old, well-established model where the stores largely follow the same level. Vuxen also states a recommended price of 299 SEK versus its own 239, which means that five of the six stores are below the recommended level and only Joyme is above it.

Since the model is sold out with the manufacturer, store inventories are what applies going forward. That suggests checking stock status at checkout rather than waiting for a promotion: an item that isn’t restocked from above rarely gets cheaper over time—it just runs out. The prices in the table above are updated when the stores’ product flows are updated, but always check the final price—shipping costs are added by most stores under a certain order value, and for an item in the two-hundred-kronor class, shipping can be a large part of the difference between stores.

Who is Icicles No. 66 for—and who is it not for?

It’s a fit for you if you want a material that doesn’t age. The glass is non-porous, chemically inert, and tolerates both a dishwasher and all types of lubricants, and there is no motor, no battery, and no charging cable that can stop working in three years. It’s a fit for you if you want a short product with a marked, graduated shape rather than a long smooth shaft, and it’s a fit for you if you want to be able to use temperature as part of the experience.

It also fits you if you want something that works for both vaginal and anal use—the manufacturer explicitly mentions both the G-spot and the P-point—provided you understand that the model lacks the flat base that Pipedream lists for other models in the same series.

It doesn’t fit you if you want vibration: there’s no motor, and there will never be one. It doesn’t fit you if you need more than roughly ten centimeters of insertable length—where Icicles No. 62 with its published 16.5 centimeters or Icicles No. 2 with its 21.5 centimeters are more reasonable choices. It doesn’t fit you if you want a specification where everything is stated in black and white, since the manufacturer publishes neither weight, insertable length, base dimensions, nor glass type. And it doesn’t fit you if you want to be careless with storage—solid glass is tough against everything except impacts.

One last thing belongs in the decision. What speaks most strongly in favor of this product is that the price is low relative to how long the material lasts. A glass shaft for 239 SEK that can’t break due to aging, charge cycles, or degraded silicone has a completely different cost curve than a motor-driven product in the same price range. What speaks against it is that Pipedream’s documentation for this specific model is thin—partly only archived—and that the stores have filled in the gaps with numbers that don’t match each other.

Warranty, complaints, and right of withdrawal

There is also a contradictory message here that’s worth knowing before you rely on the warranty. The manufacturer’s product pages show a specification box with the label “1-Year Warranty” — it was on the archived page for No. 66 and still appears, for example, on the page for No. 62. Pipedream’s own FAQ, however, states 90 days of warranty for non-vibrating and battery-powered products, and one year of warranty only for rechargeable products. Icicles No. 66 is a non-vibrating product without a battery. According to the manufacturer’s FAQ, then, it’s 90 days that applies, despite the label on the product page.

The terms are also more demanding than you might think. Pipedream states that a valid warranty requires that the product is registered and proof of purchase is provided, and the manufacturer’s warranty portal states that the product must be registered before a case can be opened. The warranty applies from the date of purchase against mechanical defects or manufacturing defects. For a solid glass item with no moving parts, the space for such a defect is small — a manufacturing defect in the glass would, in practice, be visible during the inspection you make before first use.

What always applies, though, are your statutory rights, and they’re worth more than the manufacturer’s 90 days. Under konsumentköplagen (the Swedish Sale of Goods Act), you have three years to make a complaint about defects in the goods, regardless of what the manufacturer promises, and you direct that claim to the store you bought from — not to Pipedream in the USA. For distance purchases, you also have a right of withdrawal for fourteen days under lagen om distansavtal och avtal utanför affärslokaler.

Be aware that in practice the right of withdrawal is limited for hygiene products that have been removed from a sealed package. The right to make a complaint for defects, however, always applies. If you have questions about what applies in your case, Konsumentverket guides you via Hallå konsument.
