I think this is a good idea… though I think you’d want measurement errors confirmed by more than 1 person. I don’t have the Icicles 5 that @KinkyInky was talking about though I’m not sure if the wildly off measurements she got were due to it bring a dud one rather than the norm?
That’s okay. There’s no rush. Reply as and when you can. (I’m happy if you reply at all )
I’ve measured my Icicles No5 and I get the head as 4.5" (so bigger than the product page single number, but smaller than @KinkyInky). I’ve left my measurement in as KinkyInky’s is a faulty one, and I thought I’d wait for more data. The circumference number on the product page seems to vary between maximum and median (mode?), and I knew there’d be some variance. The Hd/T/M/B numbers compensate for that a little. It’s the Length/Insertable Length that I found harder to define.
The Nubby says it’s 7" long with 6" insertable, but I think the 7" is generous, and to insert 6" would leave you with hardly any handle to fish it back out again? Some of that will be subjective though, and I’m not sure if there’s a ‘safe handle size’ for vaginal dildoing? Anybody have any thoughts?
@Ian_Chimp@Peitho I’m guessing the “extra girth” on my faulty Icicles No.5 might explain why the crevice is also deeper/rougher than it should otherwise have been! Probably better to exclude it from the stats, or maybe it’s worth mentioning potential faults in the stats.
I did mean to mention this earlier, but I forgot. I’ve gone for ‘useable’. So, the LH Beaded one you can flip over and use the big handle end, so I’ve put 5.5" in for B measurement.
But for the Icicles No5 (eg) I’ve done the bottom of the shaft itself, not including the flared base. I was hoping comparing the measurements to the photos would help people get a feel for it?
I think I’m saying that for double-ended ones I’ve included the ‘handle’, but for single-ended ones it’ll be the base of the shaft itself. Does that make sense?
I could add in the flare. Let me see what that would look like.
@Ian_Chimp I’ve read a whole lot of Icicles No.5 reviews recently to check to see whether the crevice was mentioned or not - quite a lot of the reviews mention that they aren’t comfortable using it for anal, as they don’t think the flare is large enough compared to the shaft - I was just thinking that for some people it might be useful to know how large the flare is - especially as the glass products are variable! I wasn’t expecting people to “use” the flare, but if you’re hoping it doesn’t get lost inside you, then you might well want to know how big it is!
Guessing this is also relevant if people are using these with a harness (although the thought of using a glass dildo with a harness kinda makes my eyes water!)
Folding it all up has been a little tricky. I’m thinking we’ve got space for an extra ‘double/single’ column or similar. Then we could pop the Flare measurement in there?
@Ian_Chimp - some stats! I even changed the battery in the kitchen scales!
(Flawed) Icicles No.5
Hd = 4.75" (Rough crevice in head - refunded!)
T = 3.75" Textured
M = 4" Textured
B = 3.75" Textured
W = 300g
Flare = 6"
L= 7"
Ins= 5"-6.5" (depending on how much grip you want!)
Lovehoney Nubby
Hd = N/A
T = 3.5" Textured
M = 3.5" Textured
B = 3.5" Textured
W = 190g
Flare = N/A
L= 6.75"
Ins= 5" (depending on how much grip you want!)
Wow @Ian_Chimp this is amazing work. I wish LH published more stats like these especially for glass toys with two ends to play with. I’ll try to do some measurements later for the ones we have but wondered if you fancied setting up a similar product page for glass butt plugs. I’d be interested in bulb length (if that’s the right term?) and the neck girth/width.
I can give it a bash. I don’t own any myself though, so I can’t measure/weigh any, but I’ll happily collate the data. I’ll have a bit of a fiddle, and see if I can put something together.
And thanks for the Pro40 info. I’ll update that soon too.
Edit: And I’ll chuck a link in to the Glass Dildo topic too, in case you missed it.
I’m having a little play updating the Womanizer/suction toy comparison table. Has anyone got the InsideOut or the ROMPs that could help me fill in some missing data from your instruction manuals?
And any other suggestions/tweaks are most welcome.
