Overall this is a great introductory toy for people wanting to try glass for the first time. While it may lack texture, there is enough variety in the way that it can be used to make it a fun toy in anyone's repertoire.

Pros
Great for beginners, Several options for use
Cons
More texture would have been nice, Positioning is key
We found that this toy was a great introduction into the world of glass toys. While it can be used solo, couples will enjoy it as well because you can give your partner several options of enjoyment. Whether it be temperature play, anal or vaginal play, or p-spot/g-spot stimulation. The fact that it has two different ends (one textured and one not) only adds to the fun.
This product is made completely of glass (pyrex to be exact), so there are no moving parts. It can be used in the quietest of places and is also completely waterproof.
We do recommend being careful if this is your first time using glass. Due to the hardness, there is a possibility of bruising the cervix if thrusted too hard.
This wand is constructed of pyrex glass. Upon first inspection you will notice a bit of weight to this toy (9oz) and a definite hardness. There is absolutely no scent to this toy and the only texture to be found is the red nubs on the larger tipped end otherwise it is extremely smooth. While the red lines throughout the toy may looked textured on the product pictures, they are simply painted on and provide no type of texture or feel whatsoever.
My wife found that what little texture it had was enjoyable. Performing a twisting motion while inserting the nubbed end vaginally did add to the stimulation. She was also surprised at how pleasurable the hardness of the toy was, meaning she could push up against it and not worry about the toy bending or giving way. We would recommend being cautious though, if you are not used to these types of hard/glass toys there is a chance of bruising the cervix if you get a bit too rough.
It is made with durability in mind and weighs in at a whopping 9oz. The overall length measures in at 8 1/4 inches with the insertion length being around 6 1/2. The circumference came in at 4 1/2 at the largest point of the toy. This was the perfect size and should not be intimidating at all for beginners. It might be a bit small in terms of girth for the more advanced user though.
Overall it has a very pleasing design. It is constructed with smooth clear glass except for the red glass nubs found on the crown of one of the tips. The red swirls seen in the product picture are painted on and I have a strong feeling these may chip or fade away after time. As far as discreetness, I think you could have people guessing what it is. It comes with its own red satin pouch which I feel could provide ample protection for storage in a travel situation.
Performance-wise this was our first venture into glass toys and we enjoyed it. What we liked best about this toy was that there were several options as to how we could use it. With two different ends (one textured and one not) I found myself switching back and forth and using a twisting motion when using it on my wife which heightened her experience with it. Because the glass is extremely hard and firm she could also grind up against it finding what felt best for her. We did not get a chance to try temperature play yet, but that is also a viable option with this toy as well.
The only drawback she found was that it was a bit uncomfortable if it was inserted into her in any position but doggie-style. She felt this position provided the deepest penetration and wasn't putting unwanted pressure against her cervix. It was also easier to guide it towards her g-spot this way as well.
Pyrex scores a 10 on the material safety scale as it can be cleaned, sterilized, sanitized, and everything in between. You can also use any type of lubricant with this as well and not be afraid of damaging the product. As far as storage it comes with its own red velvet pouch. The pouch has a drawstring so there is no chance of it falling out on accident and also protects it from unwanted dust and lint. Just remember if you are going to share be sure and properly sanitize or use a condom between users.

Follow-up commentaryI still like it37 months after original review
While we rarely use the Red Cyclone Wand, it is still a nice part of our repertoire. It is still in as perfect a condition as when we first received it since it is glass. I would definitely recommend this product for people willing to try temperature play, and also for the ones who want a toy that will last as long as they can handle it.
