Foreplay Ice Glacial Review
So a few weeks back you might remember me mentioning a new boutique on the blog. Well this review will be of the Foreplay Ice Glacial that I found inside of my awesome package from the folks over at Diamond Starr Boutique. When I was sent this package I had absolutely NO idea what was inside until it arrived in my hands. Most companies I am asked to compile a list of items from their site that I wish to review an then usually an item from that list is sent out to me.
Do I like surprises?! Yes, I do and it is even better when I can use the product with or without my partner.
Overview/Use
The Foreplay Ice Glacial which is manufactured by CalExotics is meant to bring some temperature play to your love life. Whether you are male or female bodied you can get some enjoyment out of this product. In all honesty when I got the Foreplay Ice Glacial I had to giggle because it reminds me so much of a childhood toy. I am sure most of you all remember the kalidescope prisms from childhood days! If you are a beginner in the temperature play area I would say that this could be a good start unless you are willing to go the route I did YEARS ago before finding adult toys. Using the Foreplay Ice Glacial helps keep your fingers from going numb while holding the ice as you trace your partner's body. If you are looking to try out something that will keep the coldness coming for a good bit you may want to pass this item up. There is another version of the Ice Glacial that is manufactured by CalExotics has the same concept but you don't have to push the ice up you can find that item here.
Material
The Foreplay Ice Glacial is made out of silicone which is body safe, hypoallergenic, latex free, pathalates free and nonporous. One of the main things I love about items made of silicone is that you can sterilized them if you are sharing the item or if you take cleaning your toys to the highest measurement. There is some texture on the base plug as well as the base itself. You will only possibly feel the nubs on the bottom when having the ice rubbed over your body. As with most silicone items there is give to this item. The plunger portion that is used to push the ice out through the bottom is flimsy for the job it is suppose to perform.
Design & Function
As I have pointed out it reminds of a childhood toy I use to have. Once you get your Foreplay Ice Glacial, you will want to make sure that all pieces are there followed by cleaning it before use. You will need to make sure the bottom plug is in place before filling with water, if bottom plug isn't put in place right it can result in water spilling out of the bottom. When you go to place your Foreplay Ice Glacial in the freezer you will want to make sure that you haven't plugged up the top opening as the water will expand as it freezes. You can see in the photo to the right in the bottom right hand corner all the pieces that are involved with the Foreplay Ice Glacial. You will want to place your glacial in the freezer for 3-4 hours before you can use it in the bedroom. I would say that time frame is a bit long for something that contains so little water. I personally left mine in the freezer for a few days before taking it out. According to the directions in which I will post in a minute goes against my don't place the plunger in the hole. The instructions call it a "handle" an tells you to put it in place before placing it in the freezer. I am a rebel so I don't follow directions. Even with my following my own "instructions" I ended up with pretty much the same results. I will say though that if I would have placed the plunger in the top of the Foreplay Ice Glacial, I would probably had less issues. When I tried placing the plunger in the top it would bend and slide over the ice at the top.
Guess that could be the reason they included these instructions I keep mentioning right?! So let's get it on to the directions so we can get the proper assembly going on when using the Foreplay Ice Glacial. So you all don't have to squint to read what is said over to the left I will give you a short rundown.
Clean before use-I covered that
There is a slight danger of injury when frozen at too low of temperatures.
Do not use right out of the freezer allow to thaw some (this poses an issue as the ice melts quick).
Always use a condom or toy cover when sharing, this is mainly for those who aren't fluid bonded.
Store the form in a cool and dry place away from children.
Dispose of the product after its useful time according to local regulations of disposal of silicone. (Last I checked silicone can last FOREVER).
Use according to the manual.......are pretty much my same instructions aside from it has you freeze with "handle" plunger in place. If you are wanting clear ice boiling water is best to achieve that. I personally don't care if its clear or not. I know many always worry about items being discreet because they live at home still, with roommates or you have nosy people who come to visit, the Foreplay Ice Glacial is pretty discreet as long as it isn't in the original packaging. The Foreplay Ice Glacial is also easy to travel with to see your partner without it being found or be looked at as a pleasure object.
Packaging
I honestly have to say that the packaging CalExotic used for this item was a MAJOR overkill. Everything I received from Diamond Starr Boutique fit in the box with room still left inside. Yes, this BIG BOX is what the NOT so big Foreplay Ice Glacial came in. I was able to fit the condoms, toy cleaner, candle, lube samples and the Foreplay Ice Glacial in the box. The box isn't in any way discreet it shows sexual photos right on the front. While the toy is pretty discreet you may want to hide or toss the packaging. All of the packaging is plastic and cardboard/paper an can be tossed in the recycling bin to be made into more cardboard at some point. The packaging itself is actually full of information on the backside, which I somehow didn't get a picture of. The back pretty much reads the same as the instructions found inside the box.
Care/Storage
Seeings how the Foreplay Ice Glacial is made of silicone there are a few ways you can clean it.
Antibacterial toy sprays or wipes, make sure you wipe down hole toy
Warm/hot water and soap, making sure you clean an rinses thoroughly before use or storage
Sterilization
Top rack of dishwasher will not only clean but sterilize the toy
Boiling in a pot of water for a few minutes will sterilize the toy
10% bleach solution will also sterilize your toy just make sure you thoroughly rinse before use or storing.
When it comes to lube, not that I would see any reason you would need it, it is recommended to use a water based lube with silicone toys. If you prefer a silicone lube or hybrid lube you will want to make sure to spot test to make sure the lube will not effect the material.
Seeings, how the Foreplay Ice Glacial is pretty small you can easily store it in a small Ziploc Bag and toss it in to your toy chest.
My Experience
I was unable to use the Foreplay Ice Glacial with my partner as he isn't in town at the moment but I do look forward to using this with him. I can tell you though just by playing around with it that the ice melts SUPER FAST so I am not so sure how much play you can get out of it. I had the Foreplay Ice Glacial sitting on my desk for less then 5 minutes an it was completely melted. Imagine how much quicker it would melt being rubbed over your's or your partner's hot body. While the concept of this toy is great it could also be a flop. Keep in mind though, what works for one might not work for the other.
For me I would have to say that the Foreplay Ice Glacial is a 2 out of 5
