This beautiful Pyrex glass dildo can serve as a wonderful introduction to texture or as a great toy for those that enjoy light texture. Users that adore girth or texture might not be fully satisfied, but the majority will find this toy to work well enough for them to deserve a spot in their toyboxes. This low-maintence toy can be used both vaginally and anally, and holds temperature well for temperature-play. At its list price, it's definitely worth getting!
The Hearts Wand by SSA Glass is a fantastic glass dildo that is great for all users. Although its straight shaft might not be perfect for g-spot stimulation, it still feels fantastic compared to other traditional dildos. Its head will likely be able to find your g-spot, though, if yours is easily stimulated in these ways. It is great for vaginal use but can also be used anally due to the base. You can also rub it on your clitoris to feel the texture if you so desire.
There are a variety of other uses for this toy as well. If you put this dildo into the freezer or put it under some warm water, it will cool down or heat up accordingly, making it perfect for temperature play. The Hearts Wand is also o-ring compatible for certain harnesses, but I would double check your harness. The o-ring will have to be tight.
Glass is not ideal for travel, as it can break, but if you pack it properly it should be fine. Be careful, though, if you're planning on taking it on carry-on, as the TSA might call it a club-like weapon.
The Hearts Wand is made of borosilicate glass, often referred to as Pyrex. It earns its material safety rating of 10 by being entirely non-porous, food-grade, phthalates-free, latex-free, and hypo-allergenic. Even the most sensitive of skin can normally come in contact with glass without any negative reactions. Pyrex glass is more resistant to breakage than regular glass and, should it break, it would break into large chunks rather than small shards.
I find that people often have misconceptions about glass toys, in particular worrying that they can break while inside the vagina. Quite to the contrary, the glass is significantly stronger than internal organs and can withstand normal usage. My glass have rolled off of my bed several before (and even once off of my bathroom counter onto a tile floor) and survived, so these toys are very resistant to breakage. I would not go around dropping them to test this and would still be very careful with them, but glass toys are not nearly as fragile as they seem to be.
There is absolutely no give to this toy, as with other glass toys. The material glides against the skin without drag, making very little lubricant necessary for use.
There is some mild texture on the sides of this toy, where the red "I love you" and hearts are. Because the letters and hearts are unevenly distributed, the texture feels very unique and quite unlike other toys. This texture only sticks out about 1/16th of an inch, making it perfect for people that are worried about texture hurting them. As a matter of fact, many users might not even be able to feel the texture, but those that do will not be overwhelmed by it.
There was no smell or taste to the Hearts Wand and it has not picked up any odors.
Although this toy is not realistic, I would not venture to call it discreet as it is still penis-shaped. It is artistic, though, like most glass dildos. The pictures on the product page show the hearts to be bright red, but mine were closer to maroon.
Next to a ruler:
Because this dildo is hand-made, its size will vary a little from one to the other. Mine was just under 7 1/2" long, with the majority of it insertable. The circumference of the head was 4 1/2" and that of the shaft was about 3". The texture is very mild. The size is not very girthy, making it good for beginners, but advanced users can still enjoy its form.
Comparison to other glass toys:
L to R: Dildo not sold on EF, dildo not sold on EF but identical to Deepwater G, Red Cyclone Wand, Amber Wave, Hearts Wand, Royal Blossom
The head is pokey, consisting of what seems to be a circular head with a smaller circular head sticking out on top. Although this can make bruising the cervix easier, I find that it is still a useful addition as it makes insertion much easier, particularly for tight vaginas.
Because this is not a vibrator, you should not expect vibrations. Some things, however, are not meant to vibrate, and I find glass toys to fit in that category. You never need to worry about batteries or noise with this, which is another advantage to non-vibrating toys.
Overall, this is a fantastic toy. This dildo holds temperature well, for those interested in temperature play. Five to ten minutes in the freezer or under warm water will suffice. The texture, too, is pleasing - I would put it in the Goldilocks zone of being neither too intense nor too nonexistent. The strangely-shaped head, too, was convenient - it made insertion a breeze.
Glass is incredibly easy to clean. You can clean it with simple soap and water or your favorite toy cleaner. As it is non-porous, you can also easily sanitize it by boiling or using a 10% bleach solution. It is also safe to put into the dishwasher or oven to disinfect.
The toy comes with a storage pouch to keep it in. As the pouch is not padded, I would caution away from relying on it to protect your toy from the elements. However, if you keep your toys in something like a toy box or makeup bag, it should suffice in protecting the wand from other toys. I would caution against keeping it out in plain sight; though it is artistic, I do not think that the Hearts Wand could be mistaken for anything other than what it is. It is still somewhat penis-shaped and thus should probably be hidden if you worry about people finding it.
Glass is remarkably easy to maintain, and I have no doubts that this toy will last me for years to come. It has survived one fall from a counter-top onto a tile floor, so I'm not even worried about it breaking anymore. Granted, I would not recommend dropping it, but it's surprisingly resistant to breakage.
The Hearts Wand arrived wrapped in bubble wrap and covered with a red storage pouch. I actually really liked this packaging because I always hate having to throw away bulky boxes and/or open annoying clam-shell packaging. The pouch is great for storage and is what I use to store mine.
No instructions came with this toy, but I feel that it was self-explanatory.
I like this dildo, I really do, but I cannot say that I am in love with it. It has many pros - a nice amount of texture, easy insertion, and such, but I could not quite get over the base. I don't like bases like that; they annoy me while I'm holding the toy. Also, the head was a little too large for my taste, at least, in comparison to the girth. However, these are personal quirks of mine, and even with these in consideration I still find this toy enjoyable. Its a very versatile dildo and I am satisfied with my purchase, just not quite enough to give it the full five stars.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it3 months after original review
This remains one of my favorite straight glass toys. I do often prefer curves, but for a straight toy the sensations that this wand provides are spectacular. I still do not like the base and wish it had a handle instead, but at the same time have come to terms with the fact that I cannot have everything that I desire. This is a fantastic introduction to texture that I feel more people should experience.
