Silicone and steel

When I first started buying sex toys, I honestly didn't know much. This led to some unfortunate choices - a jelly dildo that left me feeling stung when used, a vibrator that actually tore after a few months of use.

But I matured, and so did the Internet. Reviews sprang up and I could find out what sort of toys other people enjoyed. I could avoid buying jelly anything, ever again. And as it turned out, vibrators weren't good for me personally, so no more of those.

I discovered that quality sex toys are so worth it, and I also discovered that toys can be made of materials which will not give me that horrible stinging feeling and all of which can be cleaned up beautifully. My favorites? Silicone and stainless steel.

I've had my eye on the Ryder Plug for a while because it's made of my favorite material for anal toys - silicone. The plugs I have are silicone but the taper on the Ryder looks a little less severe and I think it would make a fine addition to our toy box.

What I love about silicone is how the texture can vary, how it gives but just a little, and how easily it cleans up. With silicone toys you do have to make sure they don't touch each other and that you don't use silicone-based lube. Apparently silicone vs. silicone is a losing combination for the toys.

Stainless steel is an unforgiving substance, but it is smooth and holds temperature beautifully. If I could recommend one toy to every woman for either solo or partnered sex, it'd be Njoy's Pure Wand. Heavy, smooth, and temperature-adjustable—It's just divine.

With the Pure Wand, basically all you have to do is make sure you don't drop it or otherwise cause it to get scratched. But in a bedroom environment, there's not usually going to be much for it to clink against.

If I only ever had toys made of silicone and stainless steel, I'd be a happy girl.



I've been a fan of Babeland for a while, so when I was offered compensation for writing a post I was delighted to do so.

  1. I would plus +1000 to this post if I could. I find the Pure Wand absolutely delightful! If you don't heat it or cool it, it is still nice and cool. When I put it in the freezer for a few hours before using it on my toadysub, it seemed to cause a great deal of squirmy moaning (or moany squirming, not sure which...)

    If a submissive REALLY pleases Me, I might let them please ME with the Pure Wand too... ;-D

    1. When I think of putting it in the freezer, I just think of my warm bits getting stuck to it. Does that not happen?

      I really love it. :)

    1. STEEL - it's like glass, but less splinterable. :)

  5. I enjoy reading sex toy reviews, so read a few over there about the Pure Wand, and everyone has a g-spot except me :(

    1. I've heard the Pure Wand is good for helping you find it. :)

      I'd say I didn't have one either, except that I do. It only becomes obvious after a clitoral orgasm or two, or extreme arousal otherwise.

    2. That first bit "I'd say I didn't have one" sounds a little condescending, but not what I meant. I meant, once upon a time I thought the same thing. But sometimes after a lot of arousal/orgasms, my husband/the Pure Wand can hit it and it is AMAZING.
