I’d really like to thank Bad Dragon, and especially Runa and Varka, for being so great to work with.

Even though it would be too expensive for them to donate a toy to my blog, Runa was nice enough to respond to me very promptly and work out another deal. I tend to ask a ton of questions, and Runa has answered them all and very quickly. If you’re thinking of buying from Bad Dragon, they have great customer service!

Plus, their work is very unique and professional. I’ve never seen a company offer so many different options for toys. O.O I’m not sure how long I stared at the site trying to decide what I wanted. Custom colors, cum tubes, suction cups, different sizes and degrees of softness in pure silicone. I can’t imagine how many different combinations you could do. I mean, the number of toys you could make with all those options would be phenomenal!

I’d also like to thank Bad Dragon for their forum. It’s a great place to see other product ideas in progress, suggest ideas, and get to know others (even the Bad Dragon staff!). I’ve been looking it a lot to see the upcoming designs and to check on the progress of their new Werewolf.

And Varka has been great about keeping me in the know on the affiliate program in the works. I’m now a BD affiliate! Wh007! ^-^ I’m absolutely giddy that I get to be one of the first affiliates!

Thank you so much for being so great to work with! I absolutely love my toys! ^-^ Hugs to everyone!

Keep an eye out on my “Sales, Codes, and Promos” widget in the top right of my blog for Bad Dragon sales and promos!

And of course, they deserve the True kiss of approval. ^-^ Love ya!

 

Well, I was led to the Bad Dragon site from another reviewer’s site. Little did I know that they had a Tentacle. I’m not new to the world of tentacle dildos. I’ve had one before (review here), but I just couldn’t pass up this guy.

(Update: I now have a small army of tentacle dildos.)

The Tentacle has a sort of matte finish to it, which actually makes it feel close to what I would suspect a tentacle would feel like because of how the lube makes it real slimy. The matte finish actually helps the toy hold onto lube and keep it slick. Mine is a level 5 softness and it’s nice and squishy, yet still can stand on it’s own. When it’s all lubed up, I’m not sure I would be able to tell it from a real tentacle if I was blindfolded. Careful when it’s all lubed up not to drop it. It’s like trying to hold a wet bar of soap.

I really wanted a Tentacle close to the color of the largest Tentacle in the picture above, but this was the closest that they could get it.

Unfortunately, Runa told me they tried it twice and this was the closest they could come. I was disappointed at first, but I’ve come to love “Tiny” (Yes, for some reason I named it.) so much that the difference in color doesn’t bother me anymore. It’s not that far off from the color that I wanted in the first place, and I’ve grown to love the color on this one anyway.

Experience:

I love the soft squishiness of the Tentacle. It feels so much better than my Tentacle from Whipspider, which is rather solid and too firm now that I’ve experienced Bad Dragon’s. It feels much more like what I would expect a real tentacle to feel like. Plus, the matte finish holds onto lube better and really gives it that slimy, slippery feeling that I love.

The suckers narrow from a row of double, to single suckers. There’s also tiny little mini suckers at the edges of the suckers. They feel great all lubed up and sliding over my clit and labia. Also great for teasing your nipples and sliding over the rest of your body. (It would be interesting if the suckers really worked. I’d probably want one for each breast in addition to one for each of my openings.)

There’s also a small hole at the top that looks like it would allow for cum lube to shoot out of it if you choose the option of including a cum tube, but the Tentacle’s design doesn’t support a cum tube...dangit..

Having a “small”, it’s not so much a full-up feeling that you get, but a more wiggling in your nethers feeling. I have to admit, I might entertain the though of getting a “medium” or “large” just to see how a full-up feeling would be with this Tentacle.

The whole thing tapers from a larger base and looks like it has squiddy testicles. This Tentacle definitely reminds me more of a squid tentacle. I have another one that seems more like an octopus tentacle. Turned around, the squiddy balls are nice to rub your clit against while the Tentacle is inside.

 

Just to be curious, does anyone else think the Tentacle kinda looks like an elephant trunk in this pic?

Material: Pure silicone

Lube: Best to use water-based, but you they have a list of lubes that are compatible here.

Cleaning: Warm water and soap, dishwasher, 10% bleach solution, or even baby bottle sterilizing mix. If you wash it with soap and warm water, keep a good grip on it. It gets real slippery and might slip out of your hands and into the sink. It’s a lot like holding onto a wet bar of soap!

Size: Mine is a small. You can see the different sizes here:

Size:	Small	Medium	Large
Diameter of Head:	1 Inches	1.27 Inches	1.75 Inches
Circumference of Head:	2.2 Inches	3.25 Inches	4.5 Inches
Diameter of shaft:	1.25 Inches	1.75 Inches	2.25 Inches
Circumference of shaft:	3.75 Inches	4.8 Inches	6.5 Inches
Diameter of shaft base:	1.75 Inches	2.6 Inches	3.25 Inches
Circumference of shaft base:	5.75 Inches	8.1 Inches	10.5 Inches
Total Length:	5.8 Inches	8.2 Inches	10.25 Inches
Useable Length:	5.5 Inches	8 Inches	10 Inches

Suitable for anal play: I don’t know about that. “Tiny” is a medium softness, and it has problems getting in me if I’m not wet enough. A Tentacle that is firmer and/or a larger size would probably be better suited for anal play.

Vibration Transfer: Holding a bullet vibe to the base transfers vibes all the way to the tip. I’d definitely recommend trying it.

Pros: phthalates-free, easy to clean, great design, slippery, slimy, wiggly, and I got it during October so I got free candy corn and a cute little pumpkin (I’m such a candy corn addict. Black licorice comes first, though. Give me anything black licorice flavor and I’ll be your best friend for life. Seriously. You don’t have anything right now, do you? Huh? Anything? I’ll settle for some anise.)

Cons: The color couldn’t be matched exactly, but I’m over that now.

Bad Dragon is a great group of artists and I can’t wait to see what they come out with next!

Firmness – 3 (Soft)
Color – Light blue
Features – Cum Tube
Problem – Failed Core
Price - $75 (For those wondering what a “failed core” means, BD can actually give the toy a more solid core and a softer outside layer. That way, you can get the softness you want without the toy being floppy.)

Having a hubby who thinks he was a dragon in a past life, how could I pass up the opportunity to see how it might have felt to do him in that life? I spied the Anthro Dragon and it was just what I wanted.

Then I saw a category called “Adoptions”. Being the overly curious feline that I am, I couldn’t resist clicking it to see what this whole “Adoption” thing was. It’s a section for BD toys that just haven’t made the cut. Some of them have failed cores, a bubble, or maybe a little piece missing. They’re all clean, never left the workshop, not refurbished. They just weren’t absolutely perfect.

Naturally, I couldn’t resist when I saw all the Anthro Dragons up for adoption. At first, I couldn’t decide which one to get. A red one would make sense since my hubby thinks he was a silver dragon with a red tint, but… while I’m getting a discount for adopting, I might as well get the one with the cum tube, right?

Experience:

Whoa. Seriously, whoa. It was much bigger than I had thought it would be. Just a bit bigger than my hubby and definitely the biggest toy I’ve ever had, and it’s a medium. If I got a large, it might’ve been the size of my torso! lol Really, the large very well could be the size of my torso, since I’m so bloody short.

Anyway, I cleaned this guy thoroughly and got the bathroom soaked in the process. I had no idea the water would shoot out of it that fast! lol Oh well. Didn’t take me long to warm up to it, since I’m used to pretty much that size. It feels great, almost like my hubby only without the slight bulge in the middle. (I’m really hoping that’s what the werewolf will be like. Anthro with a bulge in the middle similar to my wolfy hubby. Yes, he’s been many different creatures in past lives, or so he tells me.) There’s a slight curve to the Anthro Dragon that makes it great for g-spot stimulation. Try using it doggy style. I found that’s the best way for it to hit my g-spot. Plus, there’s the soft balls and a little ridge above the dildo that’s great to rub your clit against.

There’s a little bulge around the head. It’s almost like the foreskin is still on it a little and you’re just waiting for the head to pop out and show the sulcus(the edge of the head). It feels great, though! Personally, I like the way the head looks.

Cum Tube Experience: Definitely interesting and most certainly messy since it was my first time. The syringe is very large and can hold a pretty good amount of lube. Just don’t push down on it too fast or it’ll shoot across the room. I’m still not sure where some of the lube from my first time landed. lol (I’ve had so much fun with this toy just making a mess everywhere. I could be more serious and be annoyed that I have to clean up the water in the bathroom and find the lube that shot across the room, but who cares? Call me weird, but I thought it was funny.) You can set your bottle of lube in some hot water for a little while before you put in the syringe (same for the dildo) to make it feel more realistic. Having the toy cum inside you is a great way to lube your insides and make the whole experience more enjoyable and safer for your body (if you’re not wet enough, tiny little tears can happen in your vagina and that’s a good way to get an infection). The cum tube is actually permanently attached to the toy, but the syringe is detachable.

Material: Pure silicone

Lube: Best to use water-based, but you they have a list of lubes that are compatible here.

Cleaning: Warm water and soap, dishwasher, 10% bleach solution, or even baby bottle sterilizing mix. Careful when you’re cleaning out the middle and cum tube. I accidently got the whole sink vanity soaked when I cleaned it before my first use. lol Oh well.

Size: I got a medium. Actually, it’s not technically a “medium”. The Anthro Dragons up for adoption were made before they came out with three sizes, so they’re all around medium. You can get small, medium, or large in the regular, non-adoption toys.

Size:	Small	Medium	Large
Diameter of Head:	2.0 Inches	2.75 Inches	3.5 Inches
Circumference of Head:	5.5 Inches	7.75 Inches	10 Inches
Diameter of shaft:	1.75 Inches	2.25 Inches	3 Inches
Circumference of shaft:	5 Inches	7 Inches	9 Inches
Usable Length:	6.5 Inches	8 Inches	10 Inches
Total Length:	6.5 Inches	9 Inches	11.5 Inches

 

Suitable for anal play: Definitely not for me. There’s no way I could get a medium in my backdoor. A small, maybe. Just depends on what size you’re able to take in.

Vibration Transfer: Well, a bullet vibe on high transfers vibes along  the base well, but not all the way up to the head. Probably because it’s such a big toy. I have a small Tentacle that transfers vibes all the way to the tip perfectly.

Pros: phthalates-free, easy to clean, great design, fun extra feature of a cum tube, and I got it during October so I got free candy corn and a cute little pumpkin (I’m such a candy corn addict. Black licorice comes first, though. Give me anything black licorice flavor and I’ll be your best friend for life. Seriously. You don’t have anything right now, do you? Huh? Anything? I’ll settle for a clump of anise.)

Cons: can be a little messy cleaning since you have to be careful not to squirt water everywhere

Summary: 5/5 Bad Dragon is a great group of artists and I can’t wait to see what they come out with next. The Anthro Dragon has been a really fun and different toy for me. It’ll definitely be one of the toys I reach for more often.

This is Emmie. She’s one of what I like to call my “multiple personalities” (aka past lives that my husband says we’ve been through and I don’t know if they’re real so I just figure I’m crazy sometimes lol Seriously, I wonder about myself sometimes.) She’s actually the reason I met my husband. We’ll get to that later.

Emmie actually started out as one of my numerous avatars on Furcadia and started her life known as “Chibiusa Inkei”. (I’ve also been a feline named “Amagasaki…” something or other, can’t remember the last name. At one point, I also had a canine character named “Pele Merengue”.) I created her just to see if people would notice that her last name meant “penis” in Japanese. A couple did, and I had fun freaking them out. She was basically an avatar to mess with people. I’d go to random parts of Furcadia and just do weird stuff, listen in on conversations, dream hop, etc. I’m not sure what color she started out as. The colors she is now, are the colors from when I met my hubby.

I was just sitting in my usual spot in a tower, and he couldn’t figure out how to get in. It was so cute. I actually had to get up and lead him in. I remember the giddy feeling I had after staying up talking to him all night and into morning. It was unlike any feeling I had ever had before. We both knew we were the ones for each other.

Eventually, he told me we were together as our furres in a past life. Do I buy that? I’m not sure. As a Christian, past lives aren’t supposed to be real…I think. But, then again, as a Christian, I believe God is super l337, all-powerful, and capable of anything. I guess there could be the possibility that God recycles our souls if we need a little more time on Earth. I dunno.

Regardless or not of past lives, this little kitty/raccoon/tigress is madly in love with her fox/wolf/dragon husband (He also thinks he may have been a phoenix. Good grief that’s a lot of lives.).

He’s a rather large and very tricky fox. Wish his wolfy side would come out to play more than his tricky fox self. My feline curiosity drives me insane sometimes. And yes, I dig around in the dumpster like a little raccoon (Actually rescued a trapped one from our dumpster last year. Cute little guy.). Our neighbors throw away perfectly good items. If we can’t use them, I just clean them up and send them to GoodWill since our neighbors are too lazy to take anything up there. I do have quite a bit of fire in me at times. I suppose that’s where the tigress comes in. I have no idea where the dragon comes in for my hubby. I’m the one who hoards money. He does have a lot of jewelry and has a tendency to take mine, though…

You may be wondering how “Chibiusa” went to “Emmie”. After a while, I thought over the concept of me being Chibiusa in a past life and felt that my name was Emmalene (Em-mah-leen), not Chibiusa.

So, now you know the story. I was a bit uncomfortable with the whole furre thing at first. Because of other things which don’t need to be dug up again, it kinda made me feel like I wasn’t good enough just being a human.

I’m starting to embrace again, though. I really wish I could have real kitty ears. I get jealous of the way “little brother” (my parent’s cat) can flip his ears all around. I wish I could do that…

If you want a challenge, try doing this with a rolling computer chair. Being able to reach the floor with your feet while you straddle your partner is key. By doing this, you can increase the motion between the two of you and make this position that much better!


Cosmo's Kama Sutra Instructions:

Have him sit down in a low chair with his legs relaxed. Facing him, straddle him with your feet on the floor, slowly lowering yourself onto his erection with your knees bent at a ninety-degree angle. Start by letting just the tip of his penis enter you, then lower yourself inch by inch until you’re allowing him full entry by bearing all the way down on his thighs.



Why You'll Love It:

This is a highly affectionate pose with maximum upper-body contact, which naturally lends itself to languid kissing, hugging, and caressing. Best of all, since you’re in the driver’s seat you can stay in sync with him, so as a final reward you may be able to experience that explosive, but often elusive, moment: the simultaneous orgasm! This racy rendezvous is a surefire way for combustible carnal results.

To get the timing just right to O in unison, simply slow down your movements and let his fingers work their magic stimulating your clitoris if you sense he’s on the verge. Once you’re at the same pleasure point, get ready for a really big bang.

Upon seeing the Tenga Egg, I just couldn’t help but smile. Kawaii desu yo! (They’re so cute!) And they come in their own little egg carton, just like real eggs!

I’m not sure what to compare them to.

On one hand, they remind me of the Easter eggs I used to make as a kid. Remember the kits with the plastic sleeves that would shrink to fit the egg when you dipped it in boiling water? That’s kind of what the wrapper reminds me of. And they come in a container that is almost exactly like the plastic eggs you (or the Easter Bunny) hide out in the yard for the kids to find. I’ve done an adult egg hunt that involved raffle tickets instead of candy in the eggs. Hiding a few Tenga Eggs in an adult egg hunt might be a fun little prize.

On the other hand, it kind of reminds me a of Kinder Surprise egg. You know, the little chocolate eggies with tiny toys inside? You open the shell and there’s a soft, white egg sleeve. Inside the egg sleeve, there’s a plastic tube containing a little packet of lube. Unfortunately, the lube contains parabens. Methylparaben, to be exact. That can easily be switched out for another bottle of water-based lube, or sample packets if you take advantage of the free lubricant samples like I do.

They’re designed to be small and discreet. Who would assume something that looks like an Easter egg would house a masturbation sleeve? Still, people might wonder why you have a plastic egg in your pocket, laying around somewhere (after Easter time), in the fridge, etc…

These little guys come in six texture styles: Silky, Stepper, Twister, Spider, Clicker, and Wavy. The one my hubby and I got to try out was Silky.

I said “my hubby and I” because I used it, too. When turned inside-out, the Tenga Eggs also make great textured attachments for the Hitachi Magic Wand, Acuvibe, or Mystic Wand.

Hubby’s Experience:

Well, first he gave me a funny look and watched curiously as I opened it. After I got it all lubed up with some Hathor Aphrodisia (review here), I slipped it over his head and went to work. It was interesting to see how far it stretched on him. (No, I didn’t try to stretch it out and let it zing across the room like I did with the Blossom Sleeve (review here). That was fun watching that, though.) It’s really stretchy, though. The top of the egg is most stretchy, which means it ends up flush against the head of his member when fully stretched. What I like about the Tenga Egg is that it’s thin enough that I can still feel him underneath, rather than the Blossom Sleeve which made him feel like a big, squishy tube. You can’t do oral with it at the same time like with the Blossom Sleeve, but you can put your lips on your guy’s head while you’re using the egg on him to provide a little more pressure.

Directions

Take everything out of the shell and squeeze the lube into the Tenga Egg You don’t really need to stick it back into that little plastic tube.

Methods of Stimulation

The first way is to let air be trapped in it (which can be tricky) with the main stimulation coming from the opening of the egg rubbing against the ridge where head of the penis meets the shaft. It feels similar to a pair of lips being there. Stimulation also comes from the head hitting the top of the egg with every stroke down the shaft. Grasp the base of the egg along with the shaft, and the egg bobs up and down sort of blow job style.This can either be done by himself or with a little help from a partner. This method is more likely to distort the material sooner.

Another method is to squeeze all the air out, creating a vacuum (this creates a feeling more like a vagina rather than a blow job). That way, the head is making complete contact with the egg, and you can either: #1 go about licking, kissing, sucking your man’s member and balls, or #2 If he’s doing it himself, he can stretch the egg up and down his member like in the video later in the review.

Can it be re-used?

Well, depends on who you ask. One company told me that it’s only for one use. What a waste letting it end up in a landfill after one use. You can recycle your sex toys, though! Babeland’s affiliate manager did some digging for me and found out that the Tenga Eggs are meant to be reused, but may last for only a few uses. They are designed to be washed with soap and warm water (Not hot! You’ll melt it!). There’s no reason not to keep using it until it goes kaput, then recycle it.

Material: Made of phthalate-free TPE

Lube: Water-based and silicone-based are fine.

Ingredient List of Lube Included w/ Tenga Egg:

water, glycerin, sodium, polyacrylate, hydroxyethycellulose, methylparaben

Cleaning: Soap and warm water. Careful not to get the water too hot.

Size: About 2.5” Designed to be discreet.

Pros: Cute, small, discreet, phthalates-free, soft and stretchy, variety of textures, multi-pack comes in an egg carton (How cute is that? ), feels great for hubby, is also good for a vibrator cover.

Cons: Even if properly cared for, they won’t last long (5-10 uses). Lube included contains parabens and glycerin.

Summary: 4.5/5 Mostly because it might not last as long as you’d like it to. Ours hasn’t ripped yet. I try to be careful of my nails while cleaning/using it. I could take off because of the lube having parabens and glycerin, but it’s not like you can’t just get rid of it and use a different lube. I mean, you’ll end up having to use another lube after the first use if you decide to use the lube packet anyway.

I’d say the Tenga Egg is a great little buy. Very cute, comes in lots of styles, and would make a great naughty gift from the Easter Bunny, a nice stocking stuffer, or just a cute little present. What can I say? I’m a sucker for gimmicks, especially when they’re cute. Why do I think this egg is so cute? I have no idea. I just do.

P.S. If you want cute, watch the promo vid. There’s little fluffy chickies that stampede at the end! Interestingly, they have a rooster (aka a cock) pecking at the egg in the intro.

Cosmo's Kama Sutra Instructions:

Your guy lies on his back with a pillow propped under his head. Facing him, lower yourself onto his member and put your hands and knees on either side of his torso. Once he’s deep inside you, gently swivel your hips from side to side and, if you want, all around.



Why You'll Love It:

His hands can explore even the most tucked-away areas of your private parts. And your digits can give him some hands-on instruction, so you get the type of touch you need. Another passion plus: This position is perfect for languorous lovemaking, and the fact that you’re so close increases the intimacy.

Just a public service announcement to all those who have bought the Double Diver recently, you may have received a Double Diver that was made of PVC instead of TPR. I have been told that it was just a small backorder that was inadvertantly manufactured with PVC, which, when tested, was within the guidelines of European Directive 2005/84/EC regarding safe levels of phthalates. I'm not so sure about any level of phthalates being safe, though, and am glad that Cal Exotics is sending out a TPR replacement for me.

Most customers should not have a problem, very few PVC Double Divers actually went out. However, if you suspect your Double Diver is PVC and are uncomfortable with any level of phthalates in your toy, contact Cal Exotics:

Phone: (909) 606-1950
Or click “Contact” at the top of their page and fill out the form.

How will you know if it’s made of PVC?
TPR has a light smell, unlike the very chemical smell of PVC. PVC smells much like a new shower curtain. The smell is actually dangerous chemicals leeching out of the material. Just touching the material may make your hands smell terrible. However, I've been told that the level of phthalates within the faulty Double Divers falls within the guidelines of it being safe. Still, I'm not taking my chances. Into the recycle pile it goes.

My discovery:
I discovered this when I received the Double Diver as a review assignment. It smelled just like the Ultimate Triple Stimulator that I had tried earlier before I knew it had phthalates. I contacted Al Bloom from Cal Exotics about it. Apparently, the factory that was producing it on contract for them denied using anything other than TPR and they had to go through the process of securing a new factory, re-sculpting the mold, etc. The new Double Divers actually made of TPR are out now. If you suspect yours has been made of PVC and are uncomfortable with any level of phthalates being in your toy, contact CalExotics.

This is one of our favorite positions. I love feeling him close to me. Since I'm so small and he's so big, it almost feels like he totally engulfs me. Spooning always feels very intimate and loving. And I think he just likes to watch me rub my clit while he penetrates me.

Which brings me to a suggestion: if this position gets to bland for you, have your man hold you tight and roll over on his back. He can wrap his arms around your ribs to hold onto you and help him thrust. You can either keep your legs together in between his legs, or spread your legs wide outside his. My hubby seems to like me to spread them wide. Again, I think he just likes to watch the action. ~_^ And since you'll have free hands, it's a great time to play with your clit or your breasts!

Cosmo's Kama Sutra Instructions:

Lie on your sides with him behind you so you’re both facing the same direction. Push your butt toward him as he enters you. Put your hand on his and show him how you want your clitoris to be touched. Have him alternate between there and your breasts.



Why You'll Love It:

His hands can explore even the most tucked-away areas of your private parts. And your digits can give him some hands-on instruction, so you get the type of touch you need. Another passion plus: This position is perfect for languorous lovemaking, and the fact that you’re so close increases the intimacy.

Another Sexpert assignment from Cal Exotics. The Crystal Chic Wand is made from Velvet Cote (a phthalate-free) material and is studded with genuine crystals to give it a more elegant look. It features one touch activation of 3 levels of vibration.

On low, the battery will last 12.5 hours.

On medium, the battery will last 9 hours.

On high, the battery will last 6 hours.

Not that you’d need it to last that long in one sitting, but it’s nice to know in general how long the battery will last.

Experience:

Well, my first thought about the Crystal Chic Wand was that it would be great to stimulate my hubby’s perineum during intercourse. My short little arms can’t always reach the proper spot, so this is a great way to fix that. Spooning is always fun, so we got into position and I tried to position the wand in the right spot. He was able to position it so that it was hands-free for both of us. And because of the angle I had it bent at, the crystal embedded end was in just the right place to give me some nice clitoral stimulation. It was almost like turning him into a rabbit vibe. That was nice for both of us.

Also, if you can bend it just right, you can have the end of the Crystal Chic Wand vibrate your clit while the beads are in your bum.

As for having it in during penetration, the vibes could be felt by my hubby, too.

FYI:When it says that you need to keep the cap closed tightly, it means it. At first, I just thought my battery was dying. I took it out and put in a new one. Still the same pathetic whisper of a buzz. I was starting to wonder if I had a bad wand. I looked at the sticker again and figured I must not have it tight enough and that was it. You really have to screw it on as tight as you can get it to make it work properly.

"Our design team outdid themselves on this one," observed CalExotics VP/Sales, Jackie White. "The elegance and beauty of the embedded jewels and powerful high-tech motor are a winning combination….and the fact that the graduated shaft pulls apart easily for cleaning makes it as easy to maintain as it is to use.”

Easy cleaning, eh? I’ll have to disagree with that one. Although the Crystal Chic Wand comes with a small slip of paper that details cleaning instructions, I find that it is difficult to sanitize it properly. The problem lies within the beads. Many of the beads are hollow and can easily harbor bacteria even after the wand has been lengthened to clean it. (Unless you have one of those special bendy brushes that look like pipecleaners, it will be hard to clean the cavities of the beads. ) Especially since it’s difficult to dry out the hollow beads. You just have to let them slowly air dry. The problem is, bacteria likes dark wet and unclean places, i.e. the wet spaces in the hollow beads.

 

So how do I keep it clean?

I’d suggest putting a condom or toy cover over the Crystal Chic Wand before you use it. I would recommend a condom, since I know that stretches far enough. I’m not sure a toy cover would. Boiling just the wand part would sanitize it, but that’s not a good idea for the material that the wand is made of. A diluted solution of bleach may be a good idea, though.

Material: EdenFantasys says “plastic”, but it’s really composed of ABS and PU Cote. It’s phthalates-free.

Lube: Cal Exotics recommends a water-based lube since the product is composed of PU Cote. Lubricants are must have sex accessories – find your own water-based lubricant here!

Waterproof: Yes.

Packaging: No problems. Comes in a plastic box. Be sure to recycle your packaging!

Length:11 1/2"

Insertable length:7 1/4"

Circumference: 3"

Diameter: 7/8"

Weight: 0.4 lb

Batteries: One AA (not included)

Vibration Level: 3/5 Average low, medium, and high settings.

Noise Level: 4/5 Since some of the beads are hollow, they can rattle around quite a bit depending on what angle you’ve bent the wand into and what intensity you have the vibration on.

Pros: No raunchy packaging! No phthalates, easy one-touch activation, long-lasting battery, easily bent, powerful vibes throughout the whole wand, pretty crystals for those of us who have a shiny complex, waterproof

Cons: Could possibly harbor bacteria due to the fact that it can be hard to clean. This is easily remedied by putting a condom on it, though.
