Ace for Beginners

The Ace by Eden Toys is an aluminum dildo that is great for thrusting. It can be used solo or by couples and is great for temperature play. The toy can be used vaginally, but there is no safe way to use this toy anally, as it does not have a flared base for it. Users will want to exercise caution because this toy can possibly bruise the cervix or other sensitive tissues if thrust too roughly. Users may be able to get g-spot stimulation from the toy, but it might also be great for kegel exercises.

This toy can be travel-friendly when stored in the pouch provided. It's not discreet on its own, but the pouch will provide discretion in a purse or luggage. Be prepared for TSA to check your bags, and if you're easily embarrassed, leave this at home. You can use this toy anywhere you'd like, such as the tub, shower, bedroom or anywhere else.

The Ace is made from aluminum alloy and is non-porous, hypoallergenic, latex and phthalate-free. Users with sensitivities won't have to worry about metal toys affecting them in any way, and should not break out or anything of the sort from the material. The metal is cool to the touch, and the texture of the shaft makes the toy to give a bumpy feeling. This texture adds to the stimulation when thrusting and the rigidity of the metal enhances the texture. The texture is great for beginners and advanced users alike. It will just depend on how the user likes texture.

The toy has no taste or smell, and it will not retain either with use. The smooth metal material makes insertion easier, and while it is not realistic, the material makes this toy wonderful as is, and people who prefer toys that aren't realistic will like the Ace.

The Ace is designed as a straight toy with textured rings along the shaft. It is not in any way realistic, but it does have a phallic shaped head, and the toy is in no way discreet. Someone can easily tell that this is meant for sexual use, so don't leave it out for prying eyes. The size of the toy would be great for beginners, as it fits in the palm and isn't too large in circumference and diameter. Advanced users may not get much out of this toy as it is on the smaller side. However, this is a nice toy for when the body needs a break from larger ones.



Overall length: 6-1/4"
Insertable length: 5"

Compared to the double layered silicone dildo by Eden Toys

At the end of the toy there's a ring, which you can loop a finger through to hold the toy better during thrusting. This design is convenient as there is not a proper base for the toy to hold onto.

The dildo performs well, and it feels nice when used for temperature play. The rings of the toy caress the walls of the vagina in a smooth gliding feeling. Users won't meet any resistance when playing with this toy, especially when the smooth material is lubricated. Use bowls of ice water and lukewarm water only to play with temperature. Never heat the toy in a microwave or other extreme heat when warming the toy, and never put in the freezer or extreme colds when cooling the toy.

While this toy doesn't have a lot of variety, it's a great toy for someone new or seasoned to toys who want to try out a metal toy for the first time, or who simply want something different to add to their toy box.

Caring for this toy is really easy, but it can be a little tedious. Users will need a soft bristled brush to gently clean in the ridges of the toy if they aren't intending on using the boiling or dishwasher method. Using soap and water and the brush, gently clean the surface of the toy, lathering it up and making sure to get in all of the crevices of the texture. Repeat the process if any residue remains on the surface. You can also use bleach (10% bleach/90% water) on the toy or use a toy cleaner for this.

The toy can be boiled clean if you'd like, or it can be placed on the top rack of the dishwasher without detergent. When caring for a glass or steel toy, always check the surface for deep scratches, chips or dents in the material. If any are found, it is best to discontinue use of the toy. Obviously, you should take care not to drop, expose to elements or throw the toy around, as it can become damaged if mishandled. When not in use, it should be stored in the pouch provided or somewhere in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight.

Metal toys are compatible with all lubricants, so you may use any kind that you like.

The plain brown cardboard box was discreet as always with Eden's shipping method, and there weren't any labels to indicate that it had come from an adult store or that there was a sex toy inside. The toy itself is packaged pretty discreetly, but it may draw the attention of curious people as to what is inside. The toy was packaged inside of a Ziploc bag, inside of another type of fabric drawstring bag. Inside of the drawstring bag the toy was wrapped in a foam bag and tissue paper. This method not only helped protect it, but you couldn't tell what was inside just from feeling the Ziploc bag on the outer packaging.



There weren't any instructions on care or use, but the toy is pretty straightforward. The packaging is great for reusing as storage and protects the toy well against scratches and away from prying eyes. The cardboard box the toy was shipped in can be recycled if you choose. I would recommend getting a gift bag or box for this item if you are giving it to someone.

Our experience with the Ace was pleasant. We looked forward to using this toy for temperature play more than anything else, so we brought out the bowl of ice water (we prefer things cold) to use with this dildo. There's nothing better than the refreshing feel of cold metal against the skin in the heat of Southern Spring weather. Dipping the toy in ice water we first tried this to circle the nipples, rousing their attention before moving South. My partner really enjoyed the feeling of the cold metal against her clit as a sort of shock to her senses when we first started.

As a dildo, this toy performed well, and we enjoyed the feeling of the ringed texture along the shaft. It felt similar to that of a ribbed condom only much more intense due to the rigidity. Although I wanted to try this toy anally, the lack of a base cautioned me against it, and I had to refrain. I imagine this toy to be a delight in that aspect, but I cannot say for sure.
