The Njoy Pure Wand is a solid stainless steel dildo with an innovative design, meant for people who are patient enough to learn how to use it. It can be used vaginally or anally, by either men or women, to stimulate specific areas, depending on which of those areas they possess.

Since it's a heavy, solid toy, the Pure Wand is better suited for solo use than for couple's play, especially while one is just learning how it best works for their particular body. Too hard of a thrust could easily bruise. With a little practice and care, however, a couple will probably enjoy sharing it.

If you're the kind of person who doesn't like to read directions, or gives up when something doesn't work on the first try, you might be disappointed with the Pure Wand. You really need to find your ideal method to enjoy it, and that means reading other people's methods, and trying them out for yourself. Something that works for one person will not work for another. Fortunately, the Pure Wand has dozens of reviews on EdenFantasys.com, so you won't be flying blind.

Stainless steel is odorless, non-porous, and body friendly. It is also solid and heavy. The smooth surface makes a little lube go a long way, and since metal excels at holding temperature, the Pure Wand can be shockingly cold if you don't warm it up first. It can be warmed by hand, or placed in a container of warm water before use. Or, if you like the cold, it can be placed in ice-water, although fans of temperature play may find that the Pure Wand is quite capable of being chilly all on its own.

As for beginners, if you're shopping for your first toy, I'd recommend something else in most cases. The Pure Wand is just not versatile enough to be satisfying on its own, nor is it particularly easy to use. There are, of course, exceptions to every rule.

The Pure Wand consists of a heavy, curved piece of stainless steel with a ball on either end. One ball is about an inch across, the other about an inch and a half. Or so claim the specs and my tape measure. The larger end looks much larger than the smaller end, to the unaided eye. I think science is lying to us in this case. Or math is, at least.

In use, this shape lands either end in the immediate vicinity of the g-spot. The two ends feel quite different in the same general location, so each user can figure out which one works best for them. The smaller end is apparently ideal for P-spot stimulation, but not having a prostate, I can't verify that claim.

The Pure Wand does not look like a sex toy, and could be left out without comment in many cases. That said, I don't think it's particularly suitable for travel. You'll never get it on the plane. It looks like a weapon.

In fact, if anyone spots this toy, I intend to claim it's for self defense. I might even make up a story about how some fictional character uses a weapon just like it in some movie. In fact, I might even go so far as to create a fictional weapon just like it, if the opportunity arises, in my long-unfinished novel.

Since its arrival, I have used the Pure Wand quite often, and I have attempted to test out as many methods and scenarios as possible, as inspired by the dozens of reviews I've read. The short version? It works as promised, and wow! The long version? Read on.

The first review I ever read for this toy was extremely negative. I had a theory about why it failed to work for that individual, and so I set out to test it. So the first time I used this toy, I basically set it up to fail. Oh, the things I will do in the name of science!

I made sure I wasn't even remotely in the mood, and set off to test the smaller end. Now, since the g-spot is made of erectile tissue, it pretty much does not exist without arousal. Poking around with the Pure Wand under those circumstances is boring, ineffective, and eventually uncomfortable, both for my wrist and for more valuable areas. Had I done exactly this without knowing better, I would have concluded that the Pure Wand is nothing but hype. Fortunately I knew better.

For the second test, I warmed up first. I used my favorite clit vibe, which isn't buzzy at all and therefore always allows for multiples, followed by a glass toy. Unfortunately for the Pure Wand, I enjoyed the warmup with the glass toy a little more than expected, and it lost out on a turn. Oops.

When the Pure Wand finally got a proper turn, I found that it worked quite well. Both ends produced intensely pleasant sensations, which differed from each other significantly. I also found that gently rocking the toy provided a different sensation than using it for a firm rubbing motion. A more pronounced thrust felt different still. The smaller end also allowed for more pinpoint exploration.

After a dozen uses, I came to the conclusion that different moods made different methods more pleasing than others, and that different warmups created different moods. This sounds distinctly unhelpful for advice-giving, of course, but here's my recommendation: experiment with different methods, and with different warm-up toys. You'll probably find a couple of things that feel quite good, and one that is amazing.

I had several successful rounds with the Pure Wand before I hit on the combination of sensations that ended in the intense, draining experience I wanted from it. I've now experienced that level of awesome with it twice -- once when used on its own after spending some time with the Sasi, which . . . there aren't even words for that one . . . and once while used simultaneously with my least favorite bullet. I still can't believe it added that much intensity to an experience involving a bullet.

So in summary -- the Njoy Pure Wand does indeed live up to the hype. Wow.

The Pure Wand can be washed with soap and hot water after use, or cleaned with a toy cleaner or wipe. It can be sterilized by boiling it if you wish to share between partners and/or orifices. It can even be cleaned in the dishwasher -- without dish soap for the sake of your nether regions -- or wiped down with a 10% bleach solution.

The only thing you shouldn't do is use an abrasive cleaner that might scratch the surface.

As with any toy, if you stick to a quick cleaning immediately after use, I recommend giving it a better cleaning again sometime before the next use. You'll probably be exhausted after a session with the Pure Wand, so I think that policy bears repeating here.

Stainless steel can be used with any lube, including water based, silicone, and oil based.

Storage is simple -- it comes in a gorgeous box, or it's perfectly safe in pretty much any toy storage situation. Just be careful about tossing it into a case, for the sake of the other toys. The Pure Wand is heavy.

I store mine within reach of the bed, so heaven help any intruders. I'm quite certain I could knock someone unconscious with it in a pinch.

I love the packaging. The cardboard is so heavy that it is easily mistaken for wood, and the satin lining really highlights the Pure Wand's beauty. I keep most of my toys locked up and hidden through a complex system of paranoia-inspired deception, but thanks to Njoy's packaging, the Pure Wand is on my nightstand.

The satin is covering some slightly crumbly-feeling styrofoam in the shape of the toy, and that little piece that looks like it's broken is actually there so you can get your fingers around the wand to lift it, which is quite necessary and not a sign that the toy had a difficult journey to your doorstep.

When the Pure Wand first arrives, it has an outer cardboard sleeve, which slips easily into the recycling bin, but you'll almost certainly want to keep the gift box.

Safety note:

For the sake of safety, don't microwave it -- serious damage and even injury could result. Also, don't bake it in the oven. Or stick it in fire. I know it's cold, but a warm towel or a warm hand will do the job. Really. On a related note, keep it out of the freezer. Just like any metal object, it can get hot enough to burn you, or cold enough to cause frostbite. So please exercise common sense in that regard. The fridge is fine. The freezer is not.

Also on the subject of safety, if you suffer from carpal tunnel, remember to put on your wrist support before playtime. The Pure Wand is heavy!
