Cobalt wand - glass wands discontinued by Pyrexions - review by Emma (Girl With Fire)

The Cobalt Wand is one of the more beautiful pieces that I have in my collection, and also one of the more effective. This wand is great for vaginal penetration, but I would not recommend it for much else. The ball on the base end is great for stimulating the g-spot, and the waves running down the tip are good for those who are beginners to texture play.

Glass is a great material choice for those who are looking for something non porous and sterilizable I find that it is one of the best materials to use for g-spot stimulation and texture lovers, but not so great for those with super sensitive insides as hard thrusting can result in a bumped or bruised cervix, which is NOT pleasant. It's also great for those who have trouble with lubes because it requires very little if any lube during use, and fewer reapplications.

The textured waves on the end of the wand are great because they are on a narrow shaft and not so raised that they can cause irritation, but raised enough for added stimulation. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on who you talk to), the hard, unforgiving nature of glass makes the texture more defined than it would be on a softer material. Glass is also great for temperature play, as long as it is kept out of the extremes and warmed or cooled slowly, as immediate temperature changes have a tendency to cause glass to fracture. Which reminds me, you should always check your glass pieces out for cracks or fractures before use in order to prevent what could be a VERY bad time.

The design of this dildo is great, the bulb on the end is fantastic for mild, but not extreme, g-spot stimulation. It certainly bumps up against the g-spot plenty, but is not overwhelming like some might consider the Ella or Glass Wand to be. The lesser bulbs on the shaft were not as stimulating as the larger bulb, but certainly didn't cause any problems either.

Though I haven't used this as a kegel exerciser, I imagine that it would work well as one. It would be especially good for those who shy away from the untethered balls, which can sometimes be difficult to remove. If the bulbed end was inserted, one could tighten their muscles around it and gently pull on the ridged end. Theoretically if your muscles are fairly toned, the pressure on the glass shaft would hold the bulb in place, or at least slow down extraction. I don't think this would work well for those with very weak muscles however, because they would not be able to hold the bulb in place.

It is also equipped with a long narrow shaft which is beneficial when thrusting and allows it to hit both shallow and deep g-spots. It is longer than the average glass toy, in fact it would only fit into two of the toy pouches that I have, one of which I made myself. The size also makes it perfect for use in combination with clitoral vibrators, such as the Mimi, Hitachi, Mia, etc. as it leaves plenty of room to play.

Cleaning and maintenance of glass toys is incredibly easy; they can be washed with warm water and soap or toy cleaner. They can also be soaked or sprayed with a 10% bleach solution, in the top rack of the dishwasher, or boiled to sterilize. If possible, they should be kept in padded or secure storage of some sort in order to keep them from cracking. There are many options for safe storage available onsite.

Measurements:
Length: 8,5/8"
(The main page quotes this as being 9 inches long but my measuring tape begs to differ by almost half an inch)
Circumference - Bulbed Head: 4,1/2"
Circumference - Small Bulbs: 3,1/2"
Circumference - Mid Shaft: 3,1/4"
Circumference - Mid Texture: 3,1/8"
(All of these measurements confuse me because they are all between 1/2" to 7/8" off of those listed, and 7/8" is a hell of a lot. )

I wanted this dildo because I thought it was beautiful. I did not expect it to become one of my favourites. Though the Cobalt Wand does not produce the most intense g-spot stimulation, certainly nothing as extreme as the Glass Wand, or Ella, that is actually what I like about it. I am able to work up to my orgasms instead of having the stimulation be immediately overwhelming. This is probably my favourite toy to use when I want to take my time on a powerful orgasm. I love it!


NOTE: I did take photos to upload with this review, however my camera has gone missing. *cough* Damn Kids *coughcough*, so I will have to upload them at a later date when I have recovered it. They WILL be here eventually though!
