Toy Review: njoy Pure Wand Stainless Steel Dildo

I’m not afraid to say that I’m a total snob when it comes to packaging: a nude shot of a pretty girl with a come-hither stare shrink-wrapped in plastic just doesn’t cut it these days. So when I slipped off the tasteful white sleeve and saw the discreet black box of my latest Lovehoney toy I was impressed – and that was before I’d even opened it.

For couched inside the gorgeous moulded pink satin interior was the rather exquisite njoy Pure Wand Stainless Steel Dildo, curved and shining in the light, with the most subtle, stylish branding engraved on its inner curve. In fact, ‘beautiful’ was the first word that sprung to mind, because it was clear some serious thought had been put into this entire product from start to finish, as the design was impeccable – I’d even go so far as to say flawless.

So what of the wand alone? Well, intended as a sex aid for both men and women, the njoy Pure was conceived to stimulate either the female G-spot or the male P-spot (prostate), which renders it a great couple’s toy (even better to share). It’s heavy – very heavy: twenty-four ounces (one and a half pounds!) according to the accompanying leaflet. This makes for effective if tiring use: it gives the Pure great heft, but your bicep and wrist can suffer for it, or as one of my friends commented, “I can see myself having to put it down to rest my arm just before the point of orgasm!” Hmm… She has a point, especially as the internal sensation can move from pleasant to painful when you accidentally drop the external end, which means practise makes perfect with this baby.

However, the Pure’s a good length – ten inches long – which means that it’s easy enough to angle and manoeuvre to hit the spot (weight notwithstanding). It also has two differently sized balled ends, one an inch in diameter and the other an inch and a half, which means the user can warm up on the smaller end before heading for its bigger sister. Due to the weight it works far better with a rocking motion than a thrusting movement, and thanks to its shape it goes well with external clitoral massage toys such as the Lelo Mona 2 (my favourite) or the Bodywand Magic Wand Vibrator (easy does it!). In fact, the Pure is such a hit in this house that that let’s just say the njoy Eleven incher is next on my To Do list (pun intended).

Because the njoy Pure Wand is stainless steel it’s beautifully smooth, which makes insertion a breeze, and it can be heated or chilled to your personal preference before play. It’s also non-porous and extremely easy to clean, which means that you can hop from prostate to G-spot play and back again in the time it takes to give it a good old antiseptic spray and a wipe (or few – we here at Cliterati like to be sure).

If you were a fan of electro-stim play and were experienced in this area, then it being metal you could even wrap a section of the Pure Wand in plastic tape to insulate the section where you don’t want any sensation, wire the stim box up to the external end with another electrode (pad) placed strategically on your body (labia or perineum) and BOOM. Check the SmartStim community forum for further electro-stim sex tips (DISCLAIMER on this entire paragraph: don’t try this at home Folks – no, really – you have been warned!).

Back in the manual world, if you’ve tried glass, stone or wooden dildos then the njoy Pure is the next logical step. If you haven’t had the pleasure of any of the above, then this wand is an amazing place to start with regards to non-battery operated dildos – really. And it’s one you won’t regret, as the njoy Pure Wand Stainless Steel Dildoscreams luxury from start to finish, making it an ideal present for the man or woman in your life. After all, you’d get good use out of it too…
