Review: Njoy Pure Wand

Oh Glow Blog njoy Pure Wand dildo review South Africa

We all have issues that inform our preferences. Mine relate to representational sex toys. Despite all the work I've put into trying to overcome sexual trauma and sex negativity, I find penis-shaped toys off-putting. Although I understand that functionality and effect is more important than how the product looks, I still can’t really bring myself to be okay with more ‘realistic’ designs just yet.

So when I started thinking of an internal toy, I really wanted something that was both abstract and effective. Something not too obviously shaped like what's commonly understood as a 'classic' internal toy, and preferably G-spotty. That would be great.
 
Enter the njoy Pure Wand. Curved like a comma, dual-sided, made from 680 grams of shiny stainless steel and renowned for its ability to produce eye-meltingly intense orgasms; the Pure Wand has the reputation of being one of the best G-spot toys in the business. Legend has it that the wand was originally designed as a prostate stimulation tool, until some pretty smart people figured out that it could be used vaginally as well. I am so pleased they did. Plus, it’s called a wand, not a dildo, and while there's no shame in terminology, the princess in me thinks "wand" sounds pretty. Due to its solid steel shine and crazy curve, the Pure Wand has a pronounced sci-fi aesthetic that is really quite beautiful, in a Matrix sort of way. It looks like it could be a table centrepiece or a work of abstract art rather than a sex toy. It also looks like it could be an excellent bludgeoning device for unwanted intruders.

As for me, I wanted this toy so much, I even signed up for temp work especially to pay for it. Before I even used it, I loved it; although this was partially due to the packaging. The Pure Wand, like all of njoy’s products, comes in a fancy black box with the company logo imprinted discretely in silver on the lid. Upon opening, the Pure Wand is nestled in pink satin and moulded polystyrene, and it’s glorious. I swear I heard the soft humming of angels when I flipped the lid and saw the smooth, gleaming steel magnificently presented in amongst all that satin. The toy itself comes with a little booklet advertising the njoy range and nothing else – I mean, there’s no settings to learn, no chargers, the storage is provided by the very pretty box, and there’s no real need for a warranty because it’s solid freaking steel. Your house could burn down and you would be able to pick the Pure Wand, charred and glowing but otherwise unharmed, from the wreckage that was your life.

As it is, those new to steel toys will need some time to adjust to the unique properties of the material. The weighty steel is cool to the touch (obviously) and needs a little warming to feel comfortable. Despite the finish feeling very smooth and glidey just in itself, it’s a good idea not to skimp on the lube. The stainless steel is compatible with all lubricants, just by the by, so go wild with whichever is your preference. All it needs for clean-up is soap and water, and you can sterilise it in boiling water or a 10% bleach solution between partners / orifices for extra safety. Oh, the marvels of technology and modern metalwork.

As reassuring as all this is, the Pure Wand takes some time getting used to. After all the gushing reviews I’d read online, I sort of expected it to feel like I was having an out-of-body experience. The shape, it seems, is no coincidence: the Pure Wand has a learning curve. Initially, I was a little intimidated by the larger end so stuck to the smaller bulb for safety’s sake. That bit is supposedly designed for prostates, but screw your gender norms. Initially, you might find the angles a bit weird; that curve is pretty intense and I definitely struggled with figuring out what worked for me. Like .. do you rock the wand so that it presses upwards? Do you move it in a more thrusty fashion? Where feels best? Who knows! I sure didn’t, and I thought I was familiar with my G-spot. Using the small end also felt a bit counter-intuitive because the thicker bit doesn’t function quite as well as a handle; the weight of the toy works against you even when you’re already resting your arm on your thigh and after quite some time trying to figure things out you just kind of get tired. Because the Wand actually didn’t do anything for me at all at first, and I didn’t know why. It seemed to work for everyone on the internet.

All is not lost, though. With time, I eventually figured out what my bod liked, and it involves some dual stimulation from a separate external vibe – which is obvious, really, but I thought from rave reviews online that it would sort of be akin to sorcery. Like, I’d wave my magic Pure Wand and be granted the power of glorious orgasms. But alas. For me, this toy required time and persistence to get to a point where I appreciated the Pure Wand as more than just a beautiful object. Only recently does it feel like I have gotten past the “what am I doing with my life” musings and through to the “this is good and getting better” phase, and it seems like there’s more to come. At one point, I even felt the inklings of that fabled needing-to-pee sensation that I'm hoping will turn into something awesome with time.

If you are experienced in G-spot toys and play, it might be more instant gratification for you. If not, you might need some perseverance in adequately unlocking the powers of this magic wand. The njoy Pure Wand feels like a quest I have undertaken, a noble errand I am determined to complete, along with all the side-missions and associated character development that entails.
