There is a lot of praise for the Don Wands Bent Graduate. When I was looking to purchase my first glass toy, it was an intimidating experience. I shopped around for hours comparing different designs, textures, and brands. I had an insane amount of options at hand, and I was torn on what to choose! After reading a number of positive reviews for the Bent Graduate (hereafter referred to as BG) and taking into account this would be my first experience with glass, I made my decision.

Despite my interest in some of the more outrageous designs, I like the simplicity of the BG, and the light pink hue was very pleasing to look at. I knew that I wanted something with some curve as I love all things g-Spot and wanted something to help me with hitting the mark while playing solo. I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of this beautiful little toy checking the mail box daily until...

It arrived! I'm usually not one to buy into hype, but the praise for glass toys had me intrigued for some time, and I was ever-so-ready to finally indulge myself. I was actually surprised by how tiny the toy was. Even though figures are readily available for the toy (nearly 7 inches long with 4 insertable inches and 4 inches in circumference at the largest part), seeing something in person always puts it into proper perspective. I was also extremely excited by the smoothness of it and how light-weight it was. I marveled at how exquisitely simple and delicate it appeared and became even more enticed to satisfy myself.

Temperature play has been exciting, and I have enjoyed multiple degrees of warmth and cold. Both are incredibly enjoyable. The cold - even more so when it's grazing across my skin as it warms up to an appropriate temperature for penetration. The warmth of the glass is also fantastic and makes me feel very cozy. Always be careful when playing with temperatures, and make sure to test the toy on your skin elsewhere (such as the already mentioned wrist) before placing it anywhere near your genitals.

The other end of the toy can be used as a grip. It works quite well, even if your hand(s) are covered in lubricant. The same end can also be used for penetration. I enjoyed the unique sensation of the bulbs, but I have not used it nearly as much as the curved end. Although I have yet to use the wand for anal penetration, the smoothness of the entire body coupled with the curvature should make for a safe and incredibly pleasurable experience.

Seeing as how the toy is made entirely from Pyrex Glass, it is incredibly easy to clean and very easy to care for as long as you're careful (don't drop it!). Simply clean it with your favorite toy cleaner (I love the inexpensive, but fantastic Doc Johnson Toy Cleaner ) or warm water with a mild antibacterial soap, and you are good to go.

Glass is safe to share due to its nonporous nature, but using a condom when sharing is still recommended. It is also compatible with water, silicone, and oil based lubricants.

That was my first experience with glass. It will not be my last. Not only has the BG been an invaluable tool for me when it comes to self pleasure, it is a fantastic toy that my husband and I keep by the bedside.

I have been converted.
I am a believer.
Praise be to the glass.

With the lube in hand my husband and I proceeded to play around with the toy, each taking turns.

I warmed the toy up to room temperature by submerging it in warm water. I tested the warmth of the toy on my wrist, wiped it down and applied the lubricant. With my husband cuddling be from behind I propped myself in front of our bedroom mirror and began to play.

I was immediately surprised by how smooth it felt inside. I had never experienced anything quite like it. I inserted it a little further and immediately found it caressing my G spot. With very little effort I was having my first wonderfully intense orgasm. Pulling it across my G spot with slow, firm strokes...the pleasure I felt was blissful.

I used the toy with a little more intensity. More firm pressure and faster thrusting, rapidly sliding the head across until I burst once again. I took a deep breath and felt the warmth rush through my body. The pulse of my heart made my body quiver slightly and my mind was a haze. At this moment my husband asked "May I?"

From here on I was in heaven. He brought out the Liberator Jaz and I rested myself in a standard position, with my front facing up. He slowly inserted the toy and the sensation was every bit as exciting as when I had used it on myself, but now with the added pleasure of feeling someone else do the work.

He was able to get a much deeper angle than I and the extremely intense feeling was simply amazing. I was gripping the sheets as he brought to orgasm multiple times with varying speed and intensity. He slowed down and began to milk my G Spot very, very cautiously. He then placed his soft tongue against my clit and began to work his magic... I really can't describe fully how incredible this was. I was enjoying the incredible curve and smooth texture of the glass while feeling his soft, warm tongue dancing across my clit with precision. Needless to say, I didn't last long...

The BG helped me in achieving my first self given G Spot orgasm. For that, I will always be thankful. I would enjoy this toy even more if the head were a little big larger or flat like the Ella but it is fantastic nonetheless, as that is my only criticism and I can definitely deal with it as is.

This is definitely a toy that I can recommend to everyone, but I want to express to many others out there who are on the fence about their first glass purchase that you would do well to grab this one.

The Bent Graduate is still one of my absolute go to toys. It has held up perfectly, is incredibly easy to care for and does its job fantastically each and every time.

This lovely glass wonder still comes highly recommended and is worthy of the tremendous amounts of praise it receives!
