Stardust Charm Vibe - Black

The NS Novelties Stardust Charm in black is a glass vibrator that looks more like a keepsake than a sex toy. NS Novelties combines borosilicate glass, coloured crystals and platinum silicone in one rechargeable piece, and the photos show a clear, glitter-filled body set against black. If you're drawn to toys that are pretty enough to leave out, but still want real vibration, this is the line to look at.

Glass and silicone in one toy

Most vibrators are all silicone or all plastic. The Stardust Charm mixes materials: borosilicate glass, the tough, heat-resistant type used in cookware, alongside platinum silicone. Glass is completely smooth and rigid, so it glides with very little lube and gives firm, clear contact; silicone is softer and warmer to the touch. NS Novelties doesn't state exactly which parts are glass and which are silicone, so look at the photos to judge how it will feel in the hand.

How to use the Stardust Charm

Treat it as an external toy unless you've confirmed the shape suits you for more. Start on the lowest setting over the vulva, around the clitoris or on the nipples, and move it slowly rather than pressing hard. Glass transmits vibration crisply, so it can feel stronger than you expect at first. A drop of water-based lube helps it slide, and you can warm the toy in your hands for a minute if the glass feels cool. Keep it dry around any buttons or charging point.

Choosing a glass vibrator: black or white

The Charm comes in black and white. Both share the same materials and features; the difference is the setting the crystals sit against. Black gives a dramatic, night-sky look, while white is softer and brighter. There's also a matching non-vibrating Stardust Glam plug if you like the look and want a set.

Care

Wash it after each use with warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner, keeping water away from the charging point, then dry it with a soft cloth. NS Novelties doesn't give a waterproof rating, so don't submerge it or use it in the bath. Check the glass for chips before each use and stop using it if you find any. Store it in a soft pouch, away from other hard toys.
