If you’re on the hunt for a fancy-looking sex toy that ticks all your pleasure boxes and allows you to dabble in new experiences, you’ve come to the right place.
Girls Get Off has collaborated with Shaun Galanos to create our brand-new toy, Elle—a double-ended glass wand that is exactly your type.
Hang on. GLASS??? you say. Glass, we say.
We understand, queen. Inserting a glass toy into your Queen V or bootylicious peach can seem a little intimidating at first, but the truth is, it may be the most underrated pleasure product ever made.
Along with encouraging you to slow down your me-time (or love sesh with your boo thang) and savour every sensation, a glass wand can be used in many different ways, including for temperature play, edging, adding a bit more weight for unique sensations, and massaging your G-spot.
And the best part about it is that Elle isn’t just for our vulva owners. Since she dabbles in booty play and features a strategic curve for those hard-to-reach but oh-so juicy places, she’s perfect for stimulating your or your partner’s prostate.
Here is everything you need to know about using a double-ended glass wand:
What is a glass wand made of?
From a young age, we were taught that glass is a fragile material, so why on earth is it used to create sex toys? Great question.
Unlike the glass vase in your hallway or your favourite wine glass, the material used to create a sex toy is called borosilicate glass. It’s not only super durable but can also withstand very hot or cold temperatures—we’ll get to why this is important soon. It’s also super tough, so even if you drop it on the floor, it (probably) won’t break.
We made sure Elle is crafted from borosilicate glass so you can play safely, and we ensured she’s a pretty pink so she looks good anywhere you decide to store her—yes, even on your dressing table.
How do you use a glass wand?
Before you let your Queen V or peach meet your new bedroom bestie, get comfortable with the toy first.
For Elle, that means getting familiar with her gentle curve which is perfect for optimum G-spot and P-spot pleasure. Take note of her two ends, complete with a bulb on each side (one smaller, one bigger for your comfort), and enjoy warming up or cooling her down for temperature play.
Once you’ve become pals, it’s playtime.
Get clean before getting dirty
To prevent any bacteria from getting where it shouldn’t, simply wash your toy with warm soapy water, rinse, and pat dry. You can also use a toy cleaner like After Banger or Cleanies to give your toy the same tender loving care it gives you.
Lube, lube, lube
To make sure your glass wand is living up to its 10/10 potential, always use it with lube. Apply directly to the toy and to the areas of your body you’re showing some lovin’ to. Thanks to the glass material, your wand is compatible with all types of lubricants—like Girls Get Off Juicee.
Using lube means your experience will not only be more enjoyable but you’re wayyy less likely to experience an injury.
Foreplay before you play
To ensure you stay injury-free and get the most out of your glass wand experience, get a little saucy with yourself or your partner before bringing in your toy.
Take some deep breaths, stroke around your Queen V or booty with a well-lubed finger if you’re on your own, read a spicy book, or watch some saucy vids.
If you’re with your lover, have a hot and heavy make-out session, partake in oral sex, or try some grinding. Whatever you do, make the most of your foreplay time.
Let’s play
When you’re all warmed up and lubed up, it’s time to play.
First, choose a position you’d like to play in. Our faves are lying on your back with a pillow under your hips, doggy style, or perched on your knees. You’re not limited to just one though. This is a pick n’ mix queen, feel free to switch it up during your saucy session.
Once you’ve picked a starting position, slowly press one side of the wand against your vagina or booty and allow your body to become comfortable with it. When that feels good, gently tease the toy using a back-and-forth or in-and-out motion. The slower, the better.
Hot tip: While both the G and P spots enjoy pressure, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Work up to it first and continuously check in with your partner before you go deeper with the toy or add more pressure.
Now you’re friendly with Elle, get experimenting, lovers! Change positions, go deep, go slow. The great thing about your new bedroom bestie is that sometimes less is more and a slight pace, pressure or angle variation can make for the most toe-tingling experience.
But be careful. While the larger bulb is in fact impressive, it’s not flared, so if you’re exploring the P spot and general booty area, be sure to keep a good grip on it.
Another hot tip when playing with Elle is that you can swap sides of her and go bigger or smaller for different sensations, or make use of the double end by using it at the same time as your partner - either vaginally or anally (if using the latter, make sure to stay hygienic and use plenty of lube).
And let’s not forget about temperature play. Get warm by placing your toy in warm (not hot) water for a couple of minutes, or if you like a nice chill, place it in the fridge for 5-10 minutes.
She’s also a lot of fun to use for G or P spot stimulation while you’re going down on your partner.
Lastly, remember that when playing with a glass wand, slow and steady wins the big-O. Enjoy each sensation as it comes, and don’t feel pressured to have a big-O within minutes—or at all.
How do you clean a glass wand?
When you’re all finished using your toy, simply wash it with warm soapy water, rinse, and pat dry, or use a toy cleaner like After Banger or Cleanies. Then, store it in a toy bag to prevent any unwanted dust or bacteria from reaching it.
Elle is available to purchase from the Girls Get Off website.
