Amber Waves of New Sensations

Even though I had a hard time going all the way with this toy, it still feels good and I like how different the toy can feel depending on how you use it or twist it.

Use

I would have never tried the Amber Wave if it weren't for getting it as a free toy during Eden's anniversary. To me it always looked incredibly odd, uncomfortable, and potentially painful. Bottom line, this toy isn't really for me, but the moral of my story here is to not let looks deceive you too much. I enjoyed this toy much more than I expected both vaginally and anally. It can work either way and the tail end gives surprising stimulation anally. It's discreet since it looks like a friggin snake (badger, badger, badger MUSHROOOOM!!!). The price is good but the glass and construction isn't what I prefer to have for my glass toys. All that aside, I had fun with this interesting glass art piece.

Material / Texture

This wand is made of Pyrex glass. It's not as durable as the glass that Phallix uses, in my opinion, but it's still got all the non-porous and hygienic aspects that their glass does. I've had some issues with glass from this particular company chipping or scratching. I have never had any glass toy shatter or break in half, though. Knock on wood. Glass has no harmful chemicals or allergens. It isn't sticky so it doesn't collect lint and hair like it's the job of a lifetime. The surface is mostly smooth so it is very slick when it is lubed, even if it is just natural lube. It only takes a bit if you need lube.

The majority of the toy is clear glass. Each toy varies, but mine has red dots and swirls. Others have gold variations as well.
    • No odor
    • Not porous at all
    • Rigid

Design / Shape / Size

Designed to look like a snake...I think, the Amber Wave is fairly discreet. It looks like a piece of glass art. I could be set out with no issues, although from far away it looks like some sort of pipe!

The toy is 8 3/8" in length for my specific one, but it will vary as will the rest of these measurements. The head is about 1 3/8" long. The head has swirls in it of which cannot be felt. They are inside the acorn shaped bulb. The bulb is also 1 3/8" wide. This is including the single raised nub on either side. They resemble eyes. It is about 3 7/8" in circumference. Below the head the shaft maintains a diameter of 3/4" or just over the rest of the body until the end where it gradually thins like a tail. The waves of the body are quite drastic. They span about 1 1/2" of surface area. One side of the body/shaft has raised nubs that match the sides of the head. About an inch above the end of the tail there are also two additional nubs, one on each side.



This is not a toy for beginners to toys, glass, or texture, by any means...
    • Discreet look/design
    • Experienced
    • Whimsical / artistic

Performance

Again, the Amber Wave is not something I expected to enjoy much. I was plenty excited before I started to use Amber Wave. It may not have turned out as well as it did otherwise. Inserting the head gave me a cold and shocking sensation that I love about glass vaginally or anally. I decided to use it vaginally at first. The head is a good size for warming up for what is to come. The nubs can be felt as you snake the toy inside. By twisting it, the sensations increase and can be varied in intensity. The faster you thrust the toy, the more you will feel the nubs. It takes a bit of practice to learn which ways the toy needs to be turned so that nothing becomes uncomfortable. It feels great being used slowly, too, since there is so much going on with its design. Used this way, it can totally arouse me, but I was unable to finish from this toy this way.

Anally, is where I was really shocked. I did not use the head end anally, and even so the experience was quite intense. I slowly inserted the tail and all of a sudden I took it in...the shape of the toy easy gets sucked in, one swoop at a time. Due to this I do not recommend using the head end first. Using the tail end first allows the head to be a safety stopper. Using good ole fingers and the toy anally this way, I'm able to finish.
    • Lots of variety in function

Care and Maintenance

Glass toys are very easy to clean. They can be washed with hot water and soap, sprayed with toy cleaner and wiped down or sterilized in a few ways. To sterilize it can be boiled in water for a few minutes, you can add a 10% bleach solution to this if desired, or it can be put on the top rack of your dishwasher. To store make sure it is safely cushioned and won't fall from a high place or be clanged against other hard items. It can be used with any kind of lubricant. YEAY!
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Packaging

Typical of glass toys from this company, it comes wrapped in a thin layer of bubble wrap and is then placed in a velvety red pouch with draw string closure. It isn't the most secure for packaging but it is a start. The velvet isn't plush and won't protect the toy from all collisions.

Personal comments

There's an added "taboo" aspect added to the use of this toy because it simply doesn't look like something you are supposed to be using sexually. Some people who like this sort of thing, might like the design of the toy even more.
Follow-up commentary
I got really bored of this toy easily. It's not large enough to really do anything for me with its wacky design. It still was worth trying and I'd recommend it for experimentation with glass and textured toys.
