Review: Don Wands Clear Nubby Melon Crank

BarbieXHardcore once described working at a porn shop as such “Its like a rabbit hole.  You fall in deeper or get out, but either way you’re never the same as before. “

This statement is beyond true for the xxx industry, but it is also true for glass toys.

Glass is the toy industry’s rabbit hole, their kiwi, their champagne on a Tuesday, and your vacation from “the usual”.

“Kiwi” you ask? The majority of you have had a kiwi fruit.  I’ll take a gamble and say you like it.  But why? What does it taste like if you had to describe it to someone else? Having difficulties?  Same thing can be said for a glass toy.  They fun, different, exotic feeling and delicious. Like having champagne on a Tuesday glass can feel like “a special treat” and a break from the normal toy.  Some pieces can get expensive, but Don Wands keeps it real.

It is difficult to say more without describing what happened to me when I came upon this rabbit hole.

There I was, pacing my huge warehouse of a store looking to take something new home.  I’ve seen glass toys, I saw that Real Sex Episode of them on the boat testing them out.  But I’m a Hitachi girl, I like power, and vibration, and external stimulation.  My favorite toy isn’t the All Mighty Rabbit, its a dopey little clit toy; an unsung hero. Not only am I a Hitachi girl, but I’m also a “I’ve got everything” girl when it comes to sex toys.  Still, I was skeptical about glass.

Glass doesn’t bend, it doesn’t vibrate (till recently), it is cold, looks breakable.  They are hard, unrealistic feeling, and heavier than a normal toy.  You can agree and I here these statements said all the time.

Now I grin, and wait  patiently for the clients to spout out their grievances.

I decided to take home the melon crank, it was small and different.  I could use it vaginally or anally, I like the multitasking toys the best.  Plus if I didn’t like it, it wouldn’t take up that much room in my storage box(s) of toys.

Facts:

  • 1″ diameter plug features a 1 1/2″ diameter mushroom tip that sits atop a straight nubby filled shaft and is approximately 6″ in length.
  • All of our glass pleasure wands include a sample pack of WET Platinum Lubricant and a padded pouch for safe storage.
  • Waterproof, hypoallergenic, nonporous, ultra smooth and are phthalates free.
  • Made from borosilicate, which is more resistant to breaking than most traditional glass formulations.
  • Don Wands Glass Pleasure Wands can be warmed or cooled to your preferred comfort zone and they maintain temperature for an extended period of time.
  • Made by Don Wands follow them on twitter.
  • Got mine from Glow Industries; found everywhere toys and smoke accessories are sold.

hm… phthalate free, nonporous, borosiliate and can retain body heat?  That is pretty cool.

Fun:

I set up my testing station.  Brought out a fun little vibe to get me started, a delightful lubricant I use with toys, popped in a sexy movie I knew I already liked and started on my first glass journey.

When I first inserted it in my pussy, it was SO COLD.  It made my nipples hard, and I instantly was wetter than when I was only seconds before.   It fit snuggly inside of me and rested well against sweet spots.  If I push it flush against my labia, with a little pressure I can rub my clit on the nubs; feels pretty cool.  Figuring this all out so quickly made me grin.  This was clearly not a ‘fucking’ toy… I held the base with my fingers and slowly started to spin it.

I was biting my lip, moaning, barely paying attention to the video, and I had no need for that little vibe.  The sensation was just so different, I wanted to take it all in before I grabbed a vibe.  It was just me and this little glass crank… and I was lost.  Totally in love, and totally lost.  It warmed up to my body temperature and made me incredibly wet.  The best way for me to describe what glass feels like once it warms to your body temperature is “liquid”.  Glass almost feels like liquid to me when it is “my” temperature because I am so slick, and the toy is so smooth.   The weight of the toy and how perfectly it was shaped made me forget it wasn’t “realistic” and that it wasn’t a vibrator (nor did I want to use one with it, which boggled my mind).

It sounds crazy, but glass was an experience… that lasted 4 hours. I am NOT kidding. I was going to make an awesome dinner and clean the apartment that day.  Needless to say, we had Chinese food delivery for dinner on paper plates.

After a few orgasms, a few position changes, zero lube applications and a short experiment to see if I could walk around my apartment holding onto it for a kegal purposes (which worked as well) … I was converted.  Totally, and utterly converted.  I was also sore as hell; reminder to self, go easy with glass toys if playing for more than an hour.

I have 5 glass pieces I think, and no signs of stopping my collection.

In Conclusion:

Glass is perfect for anyone, a beginner, a toy snob, lesbians, straight couples, and men.  Give this easy to clean, kiwi champagne vacation a try – you wont be sorry.  Who knew something “fuzzy and green” could be awesome!

Rating:

Because this is a specialty piece in the crank style, I am giving it  + + + + -

The only thing “wrong” with this toy is that you can’t ‘fuck’ with it, but it is perfect for what it was designed for.
