I suppose to preface my review, I should mention that I honestly wasn't expecting much from the Pleasure Wave Glass Wand, but boy was I in for a surprise. I recently got a Dual-Action Vibrator with Rotations and simply didn't believe this plain, smooth glass wand would be able to compete. Well, this wand proves that you don't need all of those special doodads and settings in a toy to really get off with it.

Before use, my first impression of the toy is that it was absolutely gorgeous. The glass has such a nice, aesthetically pleasing look and the deep blue hue of the wand makes it very appealing to look at. As far as the visuals go, this pretty glass toy is likely my favorite among my entire collection (at least for now!). It's fairly lightweight, lacking any real bulk to it, but it fits comfortably in your hand and is just the right length for inserting while still leaving somewhere to grab onto. It's thin, so those who prefer girth may not favor this toy, but this works great for my own preferences and helps to make this a wonderful size for anyone new to the sex toy scene.

Putting the toy to the test, the first two traits I noticed were the toy's texture and ease with which it was inserted. This little doozy got the honor of becoming my very first glass dildo and after the experience I had, I certainly hope it won't be my last. The glass is incredibly smooth and glides right in, with no need for added lube: my natural lubricants were plenty, and soon enough I was hearing that satisfying "squelching" sound as things just got wetter and wetter.

I quite enjoyed the slight chill to the surface of the glass as well - something my silicone toys just can't replicate - and I absolutely loved its rigidity. There is no give with use, allowing it to firmly touch on all of the right spots. And the curved "wave" in the toy really helped with that as well! Just a simple rotation of the shaft caused the inserted section to touch me at a new angle, sending up a wave of new sensations. Held with the bulging out section of the curve facing up towards me, the wand was positioned for some delicious clit stimulation with each thrust as well.

After "play time" was over, clean up was a cinch. I have a pack of sex toy disinfectant wipes stored in my bedside table that I used to wipe down the wand for the short term, but once I was ready to get out of bed I took my new toy to the sink for a more thorough washing. Since glass is a non-porous material, I had no problems washing it with hot water and soap and towel drying it when I was done. Afterwards, I stored it right back in the pretty little red satin bag it came in, where it shall wait until the urge to use it strikes again - which I suspect will come along sooner rather than later!

For future use, I'm especially excited to take this toy for a spin in the shower, because the water-proof nature of glass makes it quite versatile. And, if I desire to take that "slight chill" I liked to the next level, glass is great for retaining both heat and cold and can be used for temperature play - popping it into the fridge or freezer before use could really change the experience!
