Sasha Grey signature swell wand - dildo discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by FemmeFlo

The Sasha Swell Wand is the best glass dildo I have tried so far. The swell of her dark curves is excellent at stimulating the sensitive entrance to the vagina, when used vaginally as a thrusting toy. She's double-ended, and the larger end is great for g-spot stimulation. This toy is also great to use anally; just be careful to insert the smaller end. The large bulb at the large end is enough to keep my ass from swallowing it, but it might be better to keep a good grip on it just to be on the safe side. I'm not male, so I'm not sure if this would work for P-spot stimulation. Since glass is so rigid, it might be better if used for solo play, since it's harder for one's partner to navigate around the pubic bone comfortably. Sasha is great for temperature play. Just run her under hot or cold water for a few minutes and enjoy the range of experiences that can only come from glass. A friend on edenfantasys recommended this toy as my first glass piece. It's her favorite toy in her toychest, and now that I've tried it, it's my favorite too!

Sasha is a beautiful piece of work. She's opaque black, shiny, and smooth. The smoothness makes her easy to insert without lube. For texture, she has bulbed ends and two curves in between. She is made of Pyrex glass. Pyrex glass can withstand changes in temperature (but don't boil or freeze it!) and retains temperature well. If it were to break, it wouldn't shatter but instead break into large chunks. It won't break during normal use, but it might break if it was dropped onto a hard surface, depending on the height of the fall. If you ever find any cracks in your glass toy, discard it since that may be a sign of soon-to-be-breakage. The material safety rating on glass is 10, which is the highest you can find. It is latex-free, phthalates-free, hypoallergenic, odorless, tasteless, and completely non-porous. It is completely rigid. The size/texture of this toy makes it very suitable for beginners to glass. It was my first glass toy, and I experienced no discomfort during my session with Sasha!

Both beautiful and stimulating, the design of this toy is flawless in my opinion. This toy measures 8 inches, and is double-ended, each end being insertable to about 6.5 inches. Each end is bulbed, and there are two waves in between. One end is larger than the other, and the larger wave is closer to this end. I found the smaller end great for warm-up, and the larger end is great for g-spot stimulation. The waves moving in and out as I thrusted with this toy stimulated the entrance to my vagina.

The large bulb is 1 3/8 inches in diameter. The small bulbed end is about 1 inch in diameter. The waves are somewhere in between this range with the wave closest to the large bulb being larger than the other wave, and the spaces between them are smaller than the smallest bulb, about 3/4 inches in diameter. The girth of this toy makes it completely suitable for the first glass piece in a collection, but the wonderful design and texture will make it a favorite of advanced users also.

This dildo has no metal/noisy/mechanical parts. It's perfectly suitable for travel as long as it's wrapped in something protective. It's very sturdy, but it's still glass. You'll want to be careful with this girl. She's a keeper. She's not discreet in looks at all, and is very clearly a dildo. Here's a photo:

This toy worked better than I ever hoped for. It is the first, and best (so far) glass toy I have tried. The waves combined with the bulbed ends stimulate all the right spots, and I orgasm hard every time I use this toy. The small end is great for warm-up, but I usually end up going for the big end, since it provides amazing stimulation to my g-spot (which is very deep, but this toy would work great for shallow g-spots as well). For temperature play, this toy holds temperature for about 5 minutes before it reaches body temperature, but if you switch ends you might find that the end that's been outside of your body might still have a different temperature (hot/cold, according to your preference). Another thing that I love about this toy is that it slides in and out without making a sound. It's so smooth and quiet!

The only downside to this toy is that, like all glass toys, it's heavy (13.5 ounces) and my arm gets tired after using it for a while. This means that there's a time limit for me during play that I have to work against. I have to get off before my arm is too tired to thrust fast enough for me to be able to orgasm. I've only gotten tired before getting off once, and that was right after going to the gym, so my arms were tired already.

With glass, there's the risk of bruising your cervix. I've learned to play more gently with glass than with other materials, but with the rigidity of glass, even playing gently provides amazing amounts of stimulation when compared to other materials, such as silicone, which can be quite squishy.

The Sasha Swell Wand is a glass dildo, and it has all the advantages of glass. It's extremely easy to clean. Fluids just wash right off the smooth surface, and there are no niches for any lube or juices to get caught in. This toy should be cleaned with soap and water after each use, and you can also use a toy cleaner if you wish. It can be sanitized with a bleach solution and shared between partners/orifices. Make sure to use a condom if shared without sanitizing in between partners/orifices.

Glass toys are compatible with water, silicone, and oil-based lubes. Go ahead and slather on your favorite lube. I didn't find lube necessary during vaginal use, due to its smoothness, but you would certainly want to use lube during anal use.

Glass is somewhat fragile. It will break if dropped and care should be taken in storing it. For the time being, I store it in the styrofoam insert it came in, but a padded pouch would be even better. It shouldn't be stored anywhere with extreme temperatures. Don't boil or freeze it. If you find a crack in your toy, discard it, since that could be a sign that it's about to break. It does have a 30-day warranty, so if it comes with any flaws, you can send it in to the manufacturer for a new one!

This toy came in a cardboard box, completely padded in styrofoam. The box has a picture of the toy on the front, and pictures of a woman on the sides, in erotic poses. The back contains some information about the toy. The packaging is very attractive, and it would be suitable for gifting, but it is not discreet, so wrap if gifting. The packaging can be used for storage. It's not particularly bulky in comparison to the size of the toy, and it provides protection in case of a fall. I keep this toy in the styrofoam insert it came in (as pictured below) until I can buy a padded pouch to store it in.



Here's a picture of the front of the package as well:

The day this toy arrived, I was in high anticipation all day, waiting for the moment when I got off work so I could go pick it up at the post office, take it home, and play. I brought it home, tossed aside the packing, and did a quick rinse with some cold water. My clothing I cast aside with the toy's packaging, and I got onto my bed to have some quality playtime. I started with the smaller end. It slid in easily without any lube. I gasped at the sensation of cold glass sliding inside me, and the way those waves stretched and stimulated my vaginal opening with each thrust. After only a few minutes, I felt sure I could take the bigger end, so I switched ends. The bigger end was still a little cold, since it hadn't been inside my body. With the first thrust, I felt it rub my g-spot. I switched angles a little, so that it was rubbing my g-spot harder. I came in 6 minutes of using this toy. That's a record for me, with any toy. I usually take about 15 minutes to have my first orgasm in any solo session. It helped that I was incredibly aroused when I started by having to wait for it all day. This toy works for me every time. I keep it next to my bed, instead of in the drawer with the rest of my toys, so I have easy access for whenever I get that urge. Sometimes this happens multiple times per day. Oh, Sasha, thank you for always being there for me.
