Is the Pure Wand worth it (for me)?

Contributor: null null
I already own the Reflections Serenity glass dildo, which is shaped a lot like the Pure Wand. I've been eying the Pure Wand for a while now, but I've fallen in love with the Serenity. It gets me off wonderfully, almost every time.
So my question is, would the step up to the Pure Wand be worth the hundred dollars?

IMO Eden is all about exploring these kinds of things. Everyone absolutely raves about this thing. If you like Serenity, then I am sure you will enjoy the Pure Wand, you could save up some EdenPoints and use a coupon/gift card/discount to lower the price a little, and if all else fails you could definitely re sell it since it can be sterilized. I highly doubt you will want to though

I would also like to add that I have plenty of toys that I love, and I wouldn't have half of them if I never stepped out of the box. Eden is a wonderful place for Sex-ventures.

This. Why spend the money if you don't need to.

The Pure Wand will be heavier and will hold temperatures better. If neither of those features are important to you then you can probably stay with your Reflections wand no problem. If you had neither then it would be more of a toss-up.

The Pure Wand is pretty incredible, and well worth the money, but if you're happy with your current choices, then it comes down to the budget. It's colder, heavier, and more curved than your current toy, and I know I read at least one review from someone who had both and preferred the Pure Wand, but if you'll notice the dent in your wallet, you might want to hold off for a little bit. If you have extra Christmas money or something, then go for it!

The only thing I will add about the Pure Wand, it is almost impossible to harm it. Anything you can do to it, short of throwing it in a forge, can be fixed. So it has a better chance of lasting you a lifetime.

I would give it a try if you had some extra $$.

I love my pure wand so much, and I think it's my hubby's favorite toy to watch me with. It is so heavy and I think that really helps with how pleasurable it is. In my opinion, there is really nothing like it.

It really depends on you. I've had the Pure Wand for a while now, and the only reason it's still in my collection is because M won't let me sell it.

The curve on the Serenity is a little less deep than the Pure Wand's. And I can tell you that I used to own a glass dildo that's very similar to the Pure Wand, also, but for some reason, it seemed much different.

We have the PureWand - but not the Serenity - so we're a little biased. I voted that you should buy the PureWand because I think the weight and curve will prove to be a different experience.

But I can see where there are so many other interesting things out there to try - you may opt to go down a different road. We have a number of toys that are similar - but different enough to add variety - so if you can afford the PureWand and Serenity - go for it - the PureWand is my wife's #1 toy - out of 25 or so in our current collection and more than 100 we've tried over the years. That's pretty high praise!

I'm not dissing the Pure Wand. I love mine, but I didn't have something similar in my collection before. Having something similar (and loving it) puts a different spin on the value proposition, and for $100+ "slightly different" might very well not be worth it.

I also have the Serenity and have been drooling over the Pure Wand for a while. I really like the Serenity but I think that the curve of the Pure Wand is more pronounced and will provide a better/different sensation for my g-spot. I am still deciding as well. I am leaning toward ordering it soonish.

I'm not sure it will. I have both. Serenity is a little big for me, but Icicles #17 is similarly shaped and not too big. There's nothing the Pure Wand offers that icicles #17 doesn't have except extra weight plus it can become hotter than Serenity.

Icicles #17 is fantastic.

Plus, the C shape of the Pure Wand makes it more awkward to use. Using Serenity and #17 is far more natural.

I actually like the big end of the Serenity. It's a little uncomfortable at times, but it's still smaller than my SO, so I guess I need to get used to it...

Tuesday, I can't wait to read your review of the Icicles #17. I have it, too, and find that I have a bit of a difficult time maneuvering it once its inserted, due to the diameter of the head. Thrusting it has proven to be completely out of the question.

Do you just do the windshield washer movement with yours? I need tips on how to best use it, please!!!

I do thrust it. Its absolutely incredible. I love it. Its too big for you? If so, don't try the Pure Wand, which is only a sliver smaller and is far more awkward to thrust or use in any way.

Your experience is interesting. The two people who have reviewed #17 already both gave it five stars. I plan to do the same.

Maybe a G-wonder would be a better fit for you.

I have never used the Serenity but it certainly looks appealing. I have the Pure Wand that I think is awesome but there was a learning curve for me and I guess for most others. But it is so worth it...both the price and time spent to totally enjoy the experience.

Hmmm . . . I do have the Pure Wand, but I don't thrust with it. I just rock it and do the windshield washer-type move. I prefer the small end because I get better sensation from it, plus it's much easier to maneuver and get more motion going with the small end inserted.

So you get the best use of the Icicles #17 by thrusting, not by using it like the Pure Wand? I'll have to try it again, perhaps in a different position? I'm baffled.

I have used toys with 1.5 inch diameter (up to 1 3/4" diameter if they are made of soft materials). However, the toys that I am best able to use for thrusting have a shaft that is not much different in size from the head, so that my vaginal opening remains "open." With this toy's pronounced head and narrow shaft, my vaginal opening closes around it once inserted -- latching onto to it, so to speak. When I try to thrust, the head catches on my pubic bone too much -- and I also don't like the sensations of going too deep since the head is not tapered and I hate bumping my cervix. Between my cervix and pubic bone, I can't seem to get much motion going at all and wondered whether you were supposed to be able to. Hence I was wondering whether I was trying to use it the "wrong" way.

I have both, love both. But the Pure Wand is metal, harder, heavier, and applies more pressure. It depends on how much pressure you want.

I don't thrust deeply with #17. Just little movements - just enough to move back and forth across my G-spot. I don't have a cervix anymore but I don't thrust nearly deeply enough to get near it if I did.

I'm thinking you would really like the Bent Graduate or Hardwood dildo #197 or Aveline. They are all good and don't have a big difference between the head and shaft. I know what you mean about that. Toys that can simultaneously massage the G-spot and the urethra can be especially effective.

I'm curious how you can apply more pressure with the Pure Wand. I suppose it can be easier to grip, but for any pressure that is likely to be comfortable glass will take it just as well as metal.

I agree! The Pure Wand is our #1 too. That is high praise here also. I love steel, more than glass. The weight is impressive and the heat retention is a huge plus!
