The Pure Wand is just plain sexy. Seriously: the shiny silver surface, the silky smooth touch, the beautifully curved shape, and the unexpected weight all add up to something delightfully arousing. And that's before you even get down to business.

Being stainless steel, temperature is easily manipulated. It gets cold at room temperature, so I like to warm it up before use. Because it is a penetration/G-spot toy, it's a good idea to urinate beforehand. Run it under warm water while you're in the bathroom and it should be all toasty by the time you're done. Be sure to make sure it isn't TOO hot: being stainless, it heats up quickly and really holds the temp. The steel also makes it easy to clean. You can even boil it to sterilize it; just make sure your cleaners are non abrasive!

Stainless steel might sound a little intimidating, but it is a perfect material for a G-spot toy. For one, it is so silky smooth that it should slide right in without extra lube (although, if you would like, it is safe with both water-based and silicone-based lubes!) and creates very little friction. Second unlike soft material toys it doesn't have any give when your body clenches down on it, which only intensifies the sensation (and makes it great for kegals!). And finally, the weight and hardness are just what some of us need to really stimulate the G-spot. Although I've yet to ejaculate (I blame my own anxiety, not the toy!) the Pure Wand has never failed to give me powerful G-spot and G-spot/clit combo orgasms.

Because the Pure Wand is so perfectly curved, it doesn't take much to really get at the G-spot. The smaller end, which is designed for prostate play, is also excellent for G-spot use. I'd suggest starting off with the smaller end and building up to the larger end, which may be a little overwhelming for some. When using the smaller end, I find that pulling up and a little forward can bring me to orgasm very quickly. I like it for both long, luxurious strokes and direct G-spot stimulation. I have short arms and for solo play, I find that when penetrating with the larger end the toy is slightly harder to manipulate because the center of gravity is lower.

The Pure Wand is a great stand alone toy, although coupling G-spot stimulation with clitoral play (finger, vibe or friend) only makes it more intense. I recommend some clitoral stimulation (and maybe even an orgasm) before really working on the G-spot, as it only "appears" when your body is stimulated.

The Pure Wand may be the best sex toy in the world. It is well suited for solo and partner play, and provides the most direct G-spot stimulation I've ever encountered. Even though I have yet to squirt, I feel totally confident that the Pure Wand can and will get me there. It may have a high price tag, but it is completely worth it! The Pure Wand is a high quality, beautiful, sexy and stimulating toy that will never wear out.

I actually don't own the Pure Wand anymore. I gave it to a friend before I moved cross-country. I was flying with already overloaded suitcases and it just didn't make the cut. I know that seems ridiculous considering the price tag, but I wasn't enjoying the toy as much as I used to. I was never able to use the large end - the ball was just too big to comfortably remove after orgasm, and the weight of the handle was also really limiting to its usefulness (I have carpal tunnel syndrome). I still sometimes miss the steel, the heft and hardness and the fact that it comes out of my body practically steaming - and let's face it, the Pure Wand is a totally hot toy. As a material, I think I might go back to steel someday, but the Pure Wand was just a bit more than I was looking for.
