Bent graduate - dildo by Don Wands - review by Sapphires13

If you want to find your g-spot, use this toy. If you want an easy to use, easy to clean toy that gets the job done, use this toy. If you're curious about glass and want to try something that's not intimidating, use this toy.

The Bent Graduate dildo is made of sturdy, pale pink (though now available in other colors) glass. It's smooth, smell-free and taste-free. It is extremely easy to clean, and can even be run through the dishwasher. One end is smooth and angled with a slightly bulbous head. The other end (the 'handle' end for me, though it can be used for insertion) is made of a series of three bulbous ridges.

I love this thing. I always had trouble finding and stimulating my g-spot with standard g-spot toys and vibes. They usually are fairly straight with just the slightest bend on the end. They never seemed to quite reach behind the ridge of my pubic bone and hit my magic spot. My partner's penis has an upward curve which DOES hit the spot, so when I saw the angle of this toy I was instantly interested. The shape makes almost a 90 degree angle, cradling my internal curves perfectly. I like the absolute smoothness of the toy. It has absolutely no drag and doesn't require any lube.

This toy is not particularly girthy which is perfect for me. If you like big toys, you may want to look elsewhere. If you want something that's just enough to do the job right, then this is the one for you.

This toy is double-ended. Either end can be used for insertion, though, I use the bent end almost exclusively. The ridged end makes a great handle. I found that holding it between my two first fingers (like you hold a cigarette), with my fingers in the valley between two of the bulbs was a great way to hold on and steady the dildo.

The toy comes with a pillow-padded pouch to store the toy in. The case is big enough to slip other toys in too, which is ideal for travel. As long as you keep the glass of this toy protected from hard impacts, it is fine for traveling. I do believe that dense glass such as this shows up clearly on airport x-rays, so keep that in mind if you embarrass easily.

Can I say again that I love this thing? I had never been able to manually stimulate myself to a g-spot orgasm before using this toy, but I certainly have with this, many, many times. I even managed to squirt for the first time while using this toy. I usually use the bent end for g-spot stimulation, while using a bullet vibrator on my clitoris. This dildo will make wet sounds when you thrust it in and out, but other than that, it's silent... unless you touch it with a vibrator and then it will make horrific grinding sounds. So try not to do that.

Depending on your position, this toy doesn't perform well hands-free. Both ends are weighted equally, so if you let go with one end inside you the other end will pull down against gravity, causing the toy to rotate a bit and pulling contact away from your g-spot. This is also an issue with partner-play. I find that when I have my partner use this dildo on me, he tends to end up letting gravity rotate it so the head points against the back of my vagina instead of against my g-spot. I find it easier to just control it myself and let him do other things to me.

Warning, this toy will be cold. It is glass. It has its own glass-coldness. If you are into that, then awesome. If not, just run some hot water over it before use to bring the temperature up. You can also try sitting on it for a few minutes beforehand to knock the chill off. I usually just use it cold though, as it will very quickly warm up to match my body temperature.

One thing I'm curious about is whether this toy can be used simultaneously by two females, since it is double-ended. It's something I'm willing to try, and if I am able to pull it off, I will update this review with details.

A+ for glass toys. You wash them as though they were glass cookware. Lather up with soap and water, rinse, dry with a towel and you're done. You can also choose to boil this toy for sterilization or run it through the dishwasher.

This dildo can be stored anywhere or put on display if you choose. However, it does come packaged with a soft, purple (I'm not crazy about the color) pillow-padded pouch to keep the toy in. The pouch is also big enough to hold other small toys which is very convenient.

The glass this toy is made from is very sturdy, though I would suggest not throwing it against hard surfaces or anything, since it could have the potential to chip.

It's been a while since I actually bought this toy, but I recall it was packaged in a plastic cylindrical clamshell type package with a card bearing the Don Wands logo in the top. The package was merely stapled along the long sides and easy to open. The dildo itself was set on display in the front of the package with the padded toy pouch behind it. The toy also came included with a sample pack of silicone lubricant (which I never got around to using) and probably a short instructional slip.

Sorry, I will pay more attention to the packaging of the next toy I review.

I don't think anything could ever replace this toy as my number one favorite. It does exactly what it's supposed to: makes me have amazing g-spot orgasms. Nothing more, nothing less. It's just right for what it's supposed to be and I plan to enjoy it for years to come.

I have used this toy so many times that I perhaps can't single out one particular experience. I can say, however, that it has made me have incredibly powerful orgasms to the point where my partner has commented that I got more excited, louder and somewhat convulsive than he had seen me before.

A typical session with this toy starts with me plucking it from its pouch and sliding the head along my vulva a bit, teasing myself, warming me up to it, before plunging it straight inside. It is cold at first, but kind of thrilling and I know I will heat it up fast. Then usually my favorite vibrator gets held against my clitoris while I slowly begin moving the dildo in and out with my other hand, the smooth glass of this toy makes that easy, even without using any lube. Then I just make a rhythm, let my thoughts drift away to sexy thoughts and keep going until I come... then come again and maybe again if I'm up for it.

Afterwards, it's just a cinch to run some soap and water over the dildo, dry it, and put it snugly back into its pouch until next time.
