For completing my 100th review for EdenFantasys, they generously allowed me to pick out something I really wanted. I’ve been lusting after wood for a while (and not the kind I have at home) and Nob essence pieces in particular, so after some deliberation and discussion with my husband I selected the Smooth S Shape dildo.

The S Shape came in a large, attractive brown and gray box which can be used to store it when it’s not in use or being admired. The box also calls this piece the Seduction, and it will definitely seduce you.

The box opens easily by sliding the lid off when the box is upright. This reveals the inside of the box, which is covered in cream velvet, and, under a sheet of protective foam, the S Shape, which is held in place by 2 stretchy ties. Also included in the box is a small 4 page booklet.

This is an absolutely gorgeous dildo. It is a beautiful brown color, and it is solidly and exquisitely carved from Elanthai wood (which I believe is another name for the wood from the jujube tree) with some wood grain apparent. Because each piece from Nob essence is natural and hand carved, no two will be exactly alike and may vary in color and grain pattern, as well as size. The size will be within 1/8” of the specified size on smaller toys and 1/4" on larger ones.

The S Shape is super smooth, with no seams whatsoever. It feels as smooth as a glass toy. When I first took it out of the box, I spent quite some time just holding it and feeling it. Caressing it, really. It’s lighter than it looks, but not so light that it doesn’t work effectively.

The wood is coated with an impermeable Lubrosity finish, which is hypoallergenic, scent-free, waterproof, chemical and bacteria resistant, phthalates-free. You also don’t need to worry about splinters (and I have to admit I did, at first).

The S Shape is 9” long, with the small end measuring 1 1/2" wide across the bulb, and the large end measuring 2”. Either end can be used vaginally to stimulate the G-spot. The toy can be used anally as well, although I don’t plan to use it that way.

The wonderful thing about wood is that it warms quickly and retains heat, so it will be a pleasant temperature when used. It can be warmed up just by holding it in your hands. Don’t boil it or microwave it though! It’s not meant to be used for temperature play.

The S Shape is easy to clean. It can be washed with warm water and antibacterial soap or wiped with alcohol, bleach, peroxide, or any other antibacterial/microbial cleaner. All lubricants are safe to use.

You don’t need to use a lot of lubricant with this toy. A small amount makes it slippery and slick, and I found I didn’t need to reapply any, even during rather long sessions. Even using the larger end, I didn’t need much lube at all.

Like glass or ceramic toys, the S Shape shouldn’t be dropped onto hard floors or surfaces. If you do drop it, you should test it by immersing it in water for a few seconds, and then wiping it dry. If you notice an area that appears damaged, and it turns dark and remains damp even when wiped, the toy should not be used again. Otherwise, it’s safe to use.

This is such an incredible dildo. It’s definitely one of my favorites. I want to thank EdenFantasys for letting me have such a beautiful and wonderful toy!

I tried this one out quite a few times alone before introducing it to my husband. I found it really hit my G-spot. In fact, this made me feel the closest I have yet to squirting. I enjoyed both ends, but I really liked the wider end the best.

My husband liked using the wider end on me. He didn’t have his typical complaint about the base on the S Shape – he was able to hold on to the smaller knobbed end without any problem. He got a bit too energetic the first time with thrusting though, and it felt like he popped my pubic bone. Once he got the hang of it with shorter and more gentle thrusts, however, it was great.

He didn’t like trying to hang on to the larger end – it was so slippery he couldn’t get a good grip. He got me close to squirting as well. I hope with more practice I’ll finally be able to!

I can’t seem to get enough of this one – it is a beautiful and wonderful piece.

Ah, the beauty of wood. This is the wooden piece that entranced me, and it still enthralls me. It's still smooth to the touch, with no chipping, gauging, or discoloration of the finish.

While I enjoy using both ends, I particularly like the size and shape of the larger end for g-spot stimulation. It doesn't make me squirt (and nothing has yet), but it's one of the few toys I have where I feel like I might, given time.

I use this both alone and with my husband, who has learned not to thrust crazy-hard with it, and it's always an enjoyable experience.
