Nebula Series By Ibiza dildo in transparent borosilicate glass Anal

The Nebula Series by Ibiza Model 22 anal dildo is a benchmark piece made from transparent borosilicate glass. Contrary to popular belief, glass is not cold or fragile—it is a high-quality, hygienic, and durable material that adapts to your body temperature within a few seconds. Honestly, after 10 years in the adult boutique business, I see many materials come through: borosilicate glass remains a smart choice for anyone looking to invest in something long-lasting without compromising on safety.

Borosilicate glass: why it’s a real advantage

Borosilicate glass is not ordinary glass. Its specific chemical composition (boron instead of calcium) gives it sought-after properties: resistance to thermal shock, non-porosity, and no chemical leaching. In practical terms, you can move it from hot water to cold water without risking cracks. This makes it ideal for prolonged, stress-free intimate use. The smooth, non-porous surface retains neither bacteria nor odors—a wash with mild soap is enough.

I rank this material among the safest for regular use: no phthalates, no known allergens, and zero chemical emissions. This is also why laboratories and high-end kitchens have used borosilicate for decades.

Dimensions and size: progressive insertion

With a total length of 21.5 cm and a diameter of 2.5 cm, this model is a medium size—neither minimalist nor intimidating. The wide base (approximately 3.5 cm) ensures safety and prevents the toy from slipping too far inside, which is crucial for anal use. The weight of 306 g (transparent variant) or 318 g (pink variant) provides a tactile presence without feeling heavy.

In my view, these proportions are suitable for progressive exploration: no sudden jump in diameter, and a length that doesn’t require advanced experience while still being enough to satisfy those who have already explored this area.

Transparent vs. pink design: two aesthetics

Model 22 is available in two visual variants: transparent (D-235965, 306 g) and pink (D-235966, 318 g). The difference is purely aesthetic, with a slight variation in weight—the pink version is slightly denser. The transparent version offers minimalist, discreet clarity. The pink version adds a warm touch of color. There is no difference in performance or sensation.

Use and compatibility

Usage is simple: water-based lubricant is mandatory (borosilicate glass is compatible with water-, silicone-, or oil-based lubricants, but water-based lubricant remains the most common choice). Clean after use with mild soap and lukewarm water. Dry completely before storing. You can also put it in the dishwasher (gentle cycle, without harsh detergent), but hand-washing is safer.

This passive object (with no electronics) pairs easily with other accessories: a pegging harness if you’re considering partnered use, or simply a specialized sex toy cleaner to extend its lifespan.

Who it’s for and who it isn’t for

Ideal for: Anyone looking for a timeless classic with no electronics or complex maintenance. Perfect for beginning anal exploration or for those who want a durable object for the long term. The beginner’s sex toy guide explains how to approach this practice with confidence.

Consider other options: If you’re looking for active stimulation (vibration, pulsing), this passive model won’t be suitable—check out our dildo collection to explore other options. If you’re concerned about glass fragility despite its proven strength, medical-grade silicone or stainless steel offer a different sensation.

Friendly advice— Borosilicate glass has a reputation for being “cold,” but that’s a myth: it adapts to your temperature within 30 seconds. Try it for the first time with lukewarm water to put your mind at ease, and you’ll see that it’s a non-issue. It’s a long-lasting investment, unlike porous materials that deteriorate.
