Crystal chic wand - vibrating probe discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by marmouse

This toy is intended as an anal stimulator, although it has several other uses. The wand is made from a series of graduated beads strung along an internal plastic cord. It has strong vibrations throughout the wand, and is intended for anal penetration.

You can, however, also use it for vaginal penetration, clitoral stimulation, or to tease anywhere on the body. The strong vibrations mean it is suited to a multitude of uses. Just remember to switch condoms when switching locations.

The toy has a narrow girth, but is quite long, so it can be intense when the entire thing is inserted anally. However, because of its graduated sizing and easy insertion, I think it would be suitable for beginners, who could insert it as far as they felt comfortable and work up to the entire length. It may be too thin for those of us who like girth, but it is, nonetheless, a fun toy.

The toy is bendable, so you can twist it into whatever shape you prefer, or bend it to indicate how far you want it to be inserted.

This toy is made out of plastic, with a polyurethane coating. It is incredibly smooth and velvety, wonderfully soft, and appealing to the touch. It has no noticeable smell or taste. The material has no texture, so any texture comes from the gradation of the beads. The material itself is perfectly smooth. The base is inset with several tiny rhinestones, which I think add a really cute and girly touch.

I like this toy. It looks kind of like some sort of demonic toy. The smoothness of the material and the cute rhinestones were really appealing, and the bendiness was convenient. Personally, I prefer a wider toy. This toy is very narrow, not much bigger around than a finger might be, but also quite long, which can be intense in and of itself. It is pretty easy to hide and would easily fit into a bag for travel, although of course you would want to remove the batteries.

The handle unscrews to reveal a battery compartment, which is simple and uncomplicated. It takes one AA battery, which is always nice. The batteries lasted me a good long time. The vibrations are very intense throughout the toy, and especially in the tip, which feels nice pretty much everyone. Pushing a button on the bottom of the wand turns it on, and you press your way through the three increasingly intense speeds. Another push turns it off. Simple enough.

This toy is easy to clean, when you learn the secret. The beads are very close together and impossible to clean as they are, which can be an "icky squicky" mess. However, if you pull the wand gently from the handle and the tip, while twisting slightly, it snaps open. The beads can then move up and down the inner rod, making it easy to clean. You cannot sterilize the toy, however, so if you are going to use it both anally and vaginally, use a condom. Use a water based lube with this toy.

This toy was pretty great. It's wonderful for working your way up to dual penetration, because the slender nature of the wand means it's quite easy to use anally along with vaginal penetration, and it isn't too scary. The slender girth also means you can use it vaginally along with another toy. I used it with a non-vibrating dildo to add fullness and buzz to my play.
