Sometimes a dildo can be so disappointing, almost like the story of the three bears. One is too hard, one is too soft, and the NJoy Pure Wand... well, it's just right. The wand is heavy, nearly 3 lbs of smooth steel, with a gradual curve. The first day I tried it, the UPS guy had delivered it to the front porch, where it had sat for hours in the frosty snow. Too excited for my own good, I tore open the packing box, opened up the beautiful red satin-lined case and there, in its gleaming glory, was my new best buddy. I immediately stripped, settled in bed and slid the large, 1 1/2" head inside of me. Did I mention that it had sat in the cold for hours? YOWZA! After a moment of wondering if my flesh was going to stick to it like a tongue to a flagpole, my body heat prevailed and the cold almost became a little exhilarating. The non-porous surface is so smooth and shiny that just the smallest amount of lube or saliva is needed to get things going. I mentioned the weight of the wand already, but it's difficult to describe just how much it contributes to an overall full feeling. Fully inserted, it hits the G-spot (on me, anyway) with just a slight tilt of the hips. I ran it under some warm water and it instantly heated up and stayed that way for a long time. It's great to use with a small bullet vibrator as the steel carries the vibrations along the shaft. It was also fairly easy to use during intercourse because while the head is large, the wand shaft is fairly narrow, allowing for a great double penetration.

There were only a couple of cons to this dildo. My partner tied me up and proceeded to use the wand. He did all the right things- used a little lube, warmed it up- then proceeded to bang the heck out of my cervix by thrusting too hard. There is no give to the steel and it is rock hard. It is also imperative to be careful handling it while cleaning. I accidently dropped it in the sink and it chipped my porcelain sink.

The Pure Wand is advertised as an anal probe, and it was fun to use it that way, too. The smaller head is perfect if you are a relative novice to anal play. The biggest thing to remember with steel vs other materials like silicon is that it is not forgiving. I really enjoyed using both ends of this wand in creative, enjoyable ways.

I love steel! There is no smell, no taste and it cleans up with soap and water or sterilizes in the dishwasher. The non-porous surface means that it will always be smooth, shiny and need very little lubrication. Steel heats up and also can be made quite cold just by running it under water, which makes it fun to use on those torrid summer nights when one can't sleep anyway, so fun may as well be had! It's very hard- not forgiving or soft in the least- and caution should be used for non-experienced users. My partner needed to be specifically guided the first few times he used it on me so as not to thrust too hard and hurt my cervix.

The wand is a work of art that can be left on an end table as a sculptural marvel and in the next moment, slid into the nearest orifice with panache. The thick and smooth large, bulbous head is easily accomodated vaginally, and with a little lubrication and patience, even a fairly novice anal user can slowly work it inside. The slightly small head on the opposite end is perfect for teasing the clitoris because the weight provides even pressure. Adding a slight dollop of a silicone or water-based lotion makes if just glide smoothly over the tiny nub.

It's so lovely not to have to hang around with the energizer battery to play with this toy! It's a dildo, so battery are not an option. Just pure, lovely heavy weight that fills me up and makes me wet. The double ended heads mean it can be used for double penetration, and the two different sizes makes it ideal for vaginal or anal play. Because it can be sterilized, it can also be shared between partners with no fear of contamination.

This is so easy to take care of! Hot water and soap, alcohol wipes, a bleach solution, or the dishwasher- take your pick! NJoy provides the niftiest jewel case for the Pure Wand. It's a discreet black heavy-duty box lined with red satin and looks perfectly proper and elegant hanging out on a bookcase. Because of the wand's sculptural beauty, it could also be used as a paperweight or as an interesting conversation piece on a coffee table. Triple dog dare you!

The toy is packaged in a heavy duty black case lined in red satin. There is a small users manual with care instructions included. The entire overall effect if classy and elegant and could easily be given as a gift.

Love this toy! Definitely a life-time keeper! Not sure if a sex toy can be handed down as a family heirloom, but this one would be a consideration. :)
