I’m more of a vibrator girl than a dildo girl.  One of the big reasons for that comes down to the fact that I don’t like all that many.  A dildo has to have something special to get me interested.  Even though there’s a lot of variety for dildo’s from glass to suction to strap on etc, I mainly like and use realistic dildos and squirting dildos.  Dragon dildos are massive in the industry but I never really liked them.  They do not turn me on at all.  I’m more of a girly girl so when I found a unicorn dildo by Split Peaches I HAD to have it.

First things first

The first two things I consider when buying a new toy are what’s it made from and what’s the shipping.

The Split Peaches Unicorn horn is hand made in the USA and uses the highest quality body safe 100% Pure Platinum Cure Silicone and is hypoallergenic, phthalates free.

The shipping was discreet and so was the labeling.

Specs

There’s three sizes, small, medium and large.

• Small – 6″ Insertable x 1 5/8″ at its thickest at the base
• Medium – 8″ Insertable x 2 1/4″ at its thickest at the base
• Large – 10″ Insertable x 2.8″ at its thickest at the base

It comes in a range of colors but my favorites were the bright rainbow colors and the pastel colors.  I decided on bright colors because after you’ve used realistic dildos time and time again, well, you get bored and I live on variety.  It doesn’t matter if it’s food, what I do on the weekends or dildos, I like variety so a colorful unicorn dildo was right up my alley (pun intended).

I chose medium because that size generally fits my body well.  It bugs me when I get a dildo that’s too big and I can’t accommodate it properly.  The unicorn horn tapers from tip to base so it allows for easier entry (the design should work especially well for anal though I haven’t tried it yet for anal as it’s too big for my butt) and mimics what we all perceive a unicorn horn would actually look like.  You wouldn’t think that a unicorn horn had the same uniform thickness so kudos to Split Peaches for getting it right.  The horn swirls around like you see in most images of unicorns and what we imagine they would look like and it’s important to me that the little details are considered because it helps turns my fantasies into reality.  It shows to me that the design was thought about and it wasn’t just some toy that was slapped together without thought just to make money.

The toy flares at the base making it safe for anal use and it’s O-ring harnesses compatible.

Time to go on a magical unicorn ride

It’s on the firm side but that suits me.  What would you prefer, a firm dick or a soft dick?  I don’t like my dildos to be rock hard like cement but I don’t want my dildo to be like a massive flaccid dick either.  Once you get to about the 8 inch mark if a dildo is too soft it gets a little too floppy for my liking so on bigger dildos I prefer them to be on the firmer than the softer side.  The firmness should suit most.

The spirals of the horn allow for a fabulous bumping sensation.  It’s another reason I appreciate the firmness of the dildo, I get to feel each and every curve as I’m using the dildo.  It filled me up beautifully without being uncomfortable and the tapered design worked well for my body.

I was really hoping that it would give me something a little different, a bit of variety, and it delivered.  I adore it.  It’s my cute girly girl dildo that I turn to when I want something a bit different.  I loved the novelty of it.  Like every other straight dildo, without a bulbous head or a significant curve it’s not really designed to be used to hit your g-spot but it can be done with a little maneuvering.  I don’t really need a toy to have to hit the g-spot, a lot of the time I just love having something inside me that feels great and I just love to use it for the novelty factor.  It really helps spice things up.

Cleaning

It’s non-porous, so it’s safer bacteria wise and can be easily sanitized.  Because of the spirals on the dildo, just make sure you do get into the crevasses.  I just wash mine with warm, soapy water and I’m done.

 

 

Predicting when we will be in the mood is not always possible, so it’s hard to be ready all the time. When you are suddenly taken over by the mood, but don’t have your handy toy with you, there are other ways of enjoying the moment.  You  might not have your toy with you because you’re on vacation or maybe you’re too embarrassed to buy one or maybe you just want to try a dildo for the first time and see if it’s for you. Maybe you’re trying to explore your g-spot?  If you want to try find your g-spot, my g-spot vibrator article can help you hit the right spot.

There are many different instances where getting caught with a dildo could be embarrassing such as could you imagine getting caught with a vibrator or dildo by airport security?

Or maybe someone finds your hidden dildo?

The first thing I want to do though is to go over health concerns.

• Avoid infection – use a condom.  The reason is that there could be bacteria on any of the objects you use and you’re sticking them in a very private part so you want to make sure you don’t get some sort of bacterial infection down there.
• Avoid breakage.  The other consideration is that if you’re in the throes of passion, the object you’re using as a dildo could break and you could end up with some sort of object stuck in there which could make for a very awkward emergency room visit.
• Avoid pointy items.  Surely it goes without saying but don’t put anything that’s pointy that can scratch your insides.  Only use smooth objects.

So now it’s diy dildo time.  You simply have to be creative and make your own dildo!  Below are some ways to make homemade dildos from everyday objects, and some advice on how to safely use them.

Cucumber

If you are home, don’t have a toy and really in the mood this is one fruit that works great. You will find the best homemade dildos are those that resemble the real deal, long and round. Cucumbers are stiff and sturdy, making it better for the job than compared to others food related objects, such as banana’s.

To use it, simply grab it from your fridge, place a condom on it, add lube if needed and go to town. Other than maybe rinsing it really good prior to use, there’s nothing for prepping it.

Banana

While not as sturdy as a cucumber, banana’s work well as a second option. The downfall is that banana’s go soft pretty quick, but in a hurry it works and it’s shaped similar to the real thing, so bonus points.

If you can, use a banana that hasn’t become ripe yet as it will be firmer, place a condom on it and start your fun. You will want to wash the peel first to ensure it’s clean. You should pay attention to the end as well, they can be sharp.

Hairbrush

This is an object that most people have laying around, if not several. It’s not food so it won’t go stale, and the handles are usually stiff so you won’t have to worry about it going soft!

For use, simply wash it as usual to ensure it’s clean, and place a condom over it. You are ready to go!

Electric Toothbrush

If you don’t have a hairbrush, or you don’t like the texture of the handle, an electric toothbrush is another alternative. You can use your electric toothbrush as a makeshift vibrator to really arouse your clit, or add some kick and insert it.

For use, you should wash it, then place a condom over it like any other object. As it can be sharp, you should avoid being forceful with it.

Alternative: If you’re into anal play, the end of a basic toothbrush works as a homemade toy for anal enjoyment. Simply wash and use a condom with lube.

Wrapping up

While the above will do the job, nothing really compares to purchasing a great dildo because they’re specifically designed to get the job done.  They’re more hygienic, they’re shaped better, they’re just better.

Dildo’s have actually been used for thousands of years, check out this pic:

with the first dildo’s dating back to 28,000 BC! That is a long line of masturbators, and with that timeline adult toy’s we are familiar with today have only been in existence for a short time. Before BOBs (battery operated boyfriends), women had to be creative!

Dildo’s aren’t the only homemade toys you can make.  Check out my article on common household items that can be used as vibrators.

The Don Wand Bent Graduate is the first time I’ve tried a glass sex toy. I’m a fan of vibrators rather than dildos, and all the dildos I have used have been of the realistic variety. The idea of a glass sex toy was something that never got me going, so I went into this review with a little skepticism…

This dildo is shaped to be used as a g-spot dildo, although with it’s ribbed handle it can also be used as an anal toy.

The Bent Graduate comes in a clear plastic package containing the dildo, a sample of lubricant, care instructions and a storage pouch. The storage pouch is made of pink faux-velvet with a padded lining to protect your toy from bumps and scratches.

This glass dildo is made from solid Pyrex, which is smooth and non-porous. One of the great things about Pyrex over regular glass is that it can withstand greater amounts of heat, meaning that you can heat it up or cool it down without the worry of it breaking. It’s also safer as rather than cracking and splintering like regular glass is just breaks. Pyrex glass is a very rigid material so care should be taken when inserting and/or thrusting this sex toy.

The design is very simple, which is actually what makes this toy so great. It’s about 7 inches long and curved for easy g-spot stimulation. The curve is almost a full 90 degrees making it easy to apply the necessary amount of pressure on your g-spot during play. Each end is about 3 inches long and 4 inches around. The g-spot stimulating end has a bulb at the tip, while the ‘handle’ end has 4 bulges, this end can also be used for insertion either vaginally or anally.

Cleaning instructions are included and, like most other glass sex toys, it’s very easy to care for. It can be cleaned with soapy water, or sterilized by boiling in a mild bleach solution. It’s also safe to use any kind of lubricant with it.

It should be noted that, as with all glass toys, you need to inspect it before and after use for any possible cracks or chips as these can be dangerous if gone unnoticed.

The Bent Graduate from Don Wand is very simple to use. I applied the included sample of WET lubricant and inserted the head, finding my g-spot and applying the perfect amount of pressure was simple and it’s length meant that the first bulge on the handle was nestled perfectly against my clit, providing double the stimulation I was expecting from this! Because of it’s rigidity I took it easy when thrusting, but managed to get the perfect rhythm going without too much effort. After orgasming very easily with this end I turned it around and gave the handle a go, this didn’t provide any kind of g-spot or clitoral stimulation but the ridges made for a nice sensation during insertion.

I tried the toy anally inserting the handle and the bulges feel wonderful. They could have been larger to provide more stimulation, however as this isn’t primarily designed as an anal sex toy I won’t hold that against it.

It’s size and ease of use would make the Don Wand Bent Graduate a perfect glass sex toy for a beginner, it was in fact my first glass sex toy and I was thoroughly impressed with it and shall be eagerly awaiting the next one that I get to review!
