Let me just say now, out of all the toys available to be given as a gift to your significant other, the Pure Wand would be the most gift-worthy one in my opinion, and of course, assuming the person would enjoy this as a gift.
Performance
What I'm finding so fun about Pure Wand is the learning. Although I own and regularly use glass dildos of various shapes and textures, you can't quite know the feeling of using steel until you actually use it. It's not "hard" to use, necessarily. But it's one that takes using and practice exploring with before you figure out what pace/angles work best for you and which don't. If you're lucky enough to have an eager-to-explore, and gentle partner, the Pure Wand can be a totally fresh new world of exploration for the both of you. This is what my partner and I have experienced, and being that he's often more gentle on me than I am, I was able to lay back and let him do the exploring and working with different angles. It's fun to let him work it a while, and then work it myself.
Instead of straight in and out thrusting, you can go at different angles, making each thrust different. I've had the chance to use Pure Wand so many times, yet I'm still sort of figuring out my pace and what feels best with this toy. I like this new experience. It's a nice change from your typical dildo.
The drastic curve in the Pure Wand means you're going to be hitting the anterior wall of your vagina when used with the curve facing upward (toward the ceiling if you're lying on your back.) This means the wand totally bypasses your cervix unless you put a significant amount of pressure (downward) and that isn't pleasant to me because it feels like it's stretching my vagina uncomfortably so. However, this is not a complaint because the Pure Wand is absolutely designed for G-spot (in women, P-spot in men) stimulation, not like your traditional styles that are likely to hit the cervix.
Who Is This Best For?
I honestly would not have been good with this toy as a beginner. It's not something I'd recommend to most first-time toy users for many reasons. When I was a beginner, I think I may would've found this to be too intense and I just don't think I would've been able to appreciate the new sensations it brings without knowing the sensations from other toys first, if that makes any sense? A beginner may prefer something more simple, less curved and less rigid and heavy! It is very intimidating to most people who are new to toys. Hell,
I was intimidated! I'm going to have to say I recommend a beginner try out hard plastic first, perhaps hard plastic/firm silicone with a g-spot curve, such as Isis Silicone Didlo, and then upgrade to a glass toy shaped somewhat like the Pure Wand. Isis silicone, but the double ended, g-spot curves would allow the user to get a good feel of what this actual shape feels like for them. As for glass, which I also recommended trying before going for the Pure Wand, I'd recommend trying something like the Sunrise's Frosted Head (photo of this glass toy & Isis are below) since glass is about the closest thing to steel you'll find, and also the Sunrise dildo has similarly shaped ends.
In my own opinion, this is a toy you want to go slow with, take your time with and spend a lot of time playing in different positions, angles and paces with. It's going to deliver in different ways per different angle and such, so that makes it very worth while and fun, but also makes it seem hassle-ish for someone who's new. I was a little too eager for a toy you spend a lot of time on when I was new to toys. Maybe you're different though, and if so, then by no means am I saying you aren't allowed to use this. If you're heart is set on this toy and you are intrigued by it, go for it! If it turns out you aren't ready for it, that's all fine and dandy because it'll last forever so if you do end up in that situation, simply put it aside, move on to trying other toys and eventually come back to this one. You'll likely be able to enjoy it eventually.
Now, since the Pure Wand is truly famous for its seemingly supernatural ability to provide g-spot stimulation, and is known as the wand that actually has given women who thought the g-spot orgasm to be impossible an actual g-spot orgasm, I have to say if you're dead set on finding your g-spot or have had trouble achieving a g-spot orgasm, disregard any intimidation now and just try this. It's so likely that this dildo will achieve the g-spot stimulation you're looking for that you'd want to just give it a go.
There's been this ongoing joke for a while now about people saying they could use their Pure Wand as a defense weapon, if it ever came down to being in such a situation. When I first held this toy, I told my partner "holy damnit. I so know why everyone says they could use this as a weapon!" I told him that I'd no longer be creeping up out of the bed with my tiny X-acto knife just to get to the kitchen to grab a real, large knife when I get scared! Ha. Ha. It's true though! And it's also true that just that morning, before my Pure Wand arrived, I'd gotten scared while sleeping and hearing noises and I actually really did grab my tiny X-acto knife and crept into the kitchen to grab a huge knife! Then I laid it beside me so I could sleep peacefully for the rest of the morning. No longer will I have to do that. Pure Wand has me covered and everyone who's made that joke, they wasn't shitting.
Is It Tiring To Thrust With?
Not like I thought it'd be, actually. When I first held this 3 pounder, I thought I'd need to start lifting weights before I'd be able to really go at it with the Pure Wand, but I've yet to have a hand cramp or get really tired from thrusting with it. This is because the wand is so long that I don't have to twist my arm up in an awkward position, but the heavyness can be felt after a minute. If it ever did become tiring though, a willing partner is always a plus!
P.S. The photo below shows the way I hold (easiest way for me) the wand in order to reach and massage my own neck or back. I use the large ball to massage and I hold it by the small end. Forgive my scary thumb nail -- too much cleaning work today caused part of the polish to remove and left a very icky thumbnail. Just over look it, okay?
I did decide to go ahead and get the Pure Wand and I'm very excited.
Thanks for the awesome review
