Bent graduate - dildo discontinued by Don Wands - review by Veracity

The Bent Graduate is a very versatile glass dildo. It is primarily designed for intense g-spot stimulation; the pronounced curve allows for precise targeting of the g-spot, perfect for g-spot enthusiasts, or for those who have yet to discover theirs. The bumpy end also makes for a wonderful Kegel exerciser. This dildo is primarily meant for vaginal insertion, but it can be used anally because of the flared humps-just be sure to keep a firm grip on the toy. Because it's made of glass, the Bent Graduate has NO give whatsoever, so take care not to thrust it too vigorously or else you may end up with a sore, bruised cervix (which is definitely not fun!). If a partner will be using this toy on you, make sure to use plenty of communication so you don't get injured.

This dildo can be used pretty much anywhere you can think of; it's small enough to be portable (it also comes with a padded storage pouch), and it doesn't make noise. It's great for dorm living or for those with roommates/children/nosy pets. No need to worry about others overhearing a loud buzzing noise. The only noise you may need to be concerned about is your own as the head of the toy delivers delicious, unwavering pressure to your g-spot. This toy is completely waterproof. It can be used in the shower or bath; just note that it gets very slippery in soap-covered hands. You don't want to drop this in the tub, or it may break. Also, glass is wonderful for temperature play. Run the Bent Graduate under cool or warm (not hot!) water for some interesting sensations.

The Bent Graduate is made of a beautiful pink borosilicate (known commercially as Pyrex) glass. Glass is completely tasteless, odorless, chemical-free, and hypoallergenic. It's also nonporous, so it won't harbor bacteria or hold on to sexual fluids. This is an ideal toy for those who are very prone to vaginal infections (such as myself). Glass is completely, totally unyielding. There is NO give whatsoever in this toy. Beginners to glass need to take heed of this and go slow when first using it. Vigorous thrusting can cause internal injury, so be extremely careful when using it, especially with a partner.


This dildo has a silky smooth texture; perfect for those who are otherwise easily irritated by bumps, ridges, or ribs. Those who prefer texture might want to reach for something else, but I personally feel that the incredible g-spotting capabilities outweigh the lack of any defined texture (and I prefer texture in my glass toys).

The Graduate's most prominent feature is the curved neck. Atop the neck is a smooth head which is perfect for comfortable insertion (there's no "poke-y" feeling). The neck tapers down into four humps, which can also be used for insertion. The humps make for a nice PC-muscle exerciser or a nice anal probe (though I don't like anal, so I personally cannot attest to it's effectiveness when used as a probe/p-spotter). Each end is about 3 inches long, giving a total length of 6.75 inches. It's 4 inches in circumference and 1.25 inches in diameter. It weighs half a pound. Personally, I don't feel like this toy is thick enough; however, this is perfect for beginners or for those who aren't partial to girthy toys. Advanced users might also be put off by the lack of thickness, but the g-spot curve makes up for it.


This toy is not really discreet. The bulbous end may look abstract, but the neck has a defined head and definitely looks phallic. However, this isn't a problem because it comes with a lovely padded storage pouch (thank you, Don Wands!); you can easily stow this away into chests, boxes, dresser drawers, or any other place suitable for storing toys. The padded pouch also makes this toy good for traveling. The pouch is thick so it should be well protected in a suitcase. If you do travel with it, wrap the pouch (with dildo inside) in a couple shirts or a thick sweatshirt, and the dildo will be perfectly fine.

This is the best g-spotting toy that I own. The curved neck zooms right in on my g-spot every time without fail. The curve also allows for the applied pressure to be adjusted, so you can get just the right amount you need. I myself need a continuous, steady pressure to reach orgasm; this toy doesn't fail me on that. Rocking the head against my g-spot with a firm pressure results in some of the strongest orgasms I'm able to obtain. My only complaint is that the Graduate lacks any substantial girth. I'm no size queen, but I like my toys to be on the thicker side. I feel that if this toy were just a little bit thicker, it'd be absolutely perfect.

Glass toys are insanely easy to care for. Some warm water and antibacterial soap or toy cleaner is all that's needed to get this toy squeaky clean. You can also use a toy wipe, boil it for five minutes, spray it with a diluted bleach solution, or stick it in the dishwasher to sterilize it. Take care to fully clean the bulbs-they can be slightly difficult to clean quickly and can harbor fluids if missed. Because it is nonporous, you can share it. However, you MUST sterilize it before AND after use if you're going to share it. If it's going to be used anally, I'd even cover it with a condom just to be sure.


The Graduate will gladly take any lube that you have. Water, silicone, oil, all lubes are compatible with glass. You won't need a whole lot, since glass is incredibly smooth. Store the dildo in the padded pouch it came with so it won't break. ALWAYS inspect the toy for cracks before EVERY use. If the dildo is cracked or broken, DO NOT USE IT. Cutting up your insides is something you definitely don't want to do!

The Bent Graduate comes in a clear, clamshell package. Inside contains the padded storage pouch, a little slip with care instructions, and a sample packet of Wet Premium lube. The instructions are simple, yet detailed-perfect for any beginners to glass toys. This packaging is not discrete, and I wouldn't recommend it for a gift box because it's so bulky. If you want to give this dildo as a gift, all you need to do is stick the instructions and lube packet inside the pouch along with the dildo and present it that way. The packaging could technically be used for storage, but the bulkiness would make that rather impractical. Because it's plastic, it can be recycled.
