It just seems like I can never get enough wood in my vagina (euphemism only partially intended). I now have three dildos from NobEssence and I adore each and every one of them. It would be really difficult for me to rank them, I’m not sure I can pick a favorite. My newest one is the Allure and it’s a G-spot’s best friend.

I can’t say enough good things about NobEssence’s sensual sculptures (it doesn’t feel right calling them sex toys). Each piece is handmade to perfection. Seriously, it can’t be easy to do. Yet, I find no flaws in any of the pieces I have. At this time, theirs are about the only wooden dildos I will recommend.

Wooden sex toys found elsewhere can be sketchy (especially on Etsy). They could be using toxic or porous finishes and trust me… your vag wants none of that. The finish that NobEssence uses (they call it Lubrosity) is non-toxic, nonporous and waterproof. That means it’s not going to get your vag all infected if you wash the dildo thoroughly after each use.

I keep wanting to say that the Allure is like a G-spot shoehorn but that’s not exactly accurate, even if that’s what it reminds me of. It hooks into place perfectly, in just the right spot and with short, rhythmic tugs on the handle, it pulls at my G-spot just the way I like it. The nice long handle allows me to leverage all the pressure that I want against my G-spot. Speaking of that bumpy handle… you can obviously stick it your vag but it isn’t really my thing. It might be yours though.

So, when I combine the wonderful G-spot pulling that the Allure produces along with a vibe on my clit… well, it’s just heavenly really. The blended orgasms are fantastic and though I have not squirted with the Allure, it feels like it’s possible. My ability to squirt can be finicky but just feeling as though it could happen is a marvelous sensation.

Even though they’re lovingly handmade, the NobEssence dildos I own seem as though they’re precision engineered to hit my G-spot, the Allure is no exception. It’s hard to do but if you pressed me to rank them, I’d say I like the Seduction best with the Fling and Allure at nearly a tie. When I started this sex toy reviewing thing, I never thought I’d own 3 of these wooden beauties but here we are. I truly am a lucky gal.

They’re so beautiful and so functional. You get the firmness of other hard materials but without all the weight so, that might make these wooden dildos easier for some folks to use. The finish is flawless and a little lube goes a long way. You can also use any kind of lube you prefer. Soap and water easily cleans this dildo. If you want more thorough sanitation you can wipe it down with a very mild 10% bleach solution, making sure to rinse it very well.

You do want to handle the Allure, and all NobEssence dildos, with care. Any kind of damage to the finish effectively ruins the toy. So do your best not to drop it or, scratch it – take your rings off when cleaning it and store it in a way that it is protected. That’s pretty easy to do since all NobEssence dildos come in a custom box.

Since these lovely sensual sculptures are made by hand, there will be slight differences in size, though NobEssence states that sizes can vary up to 1/4” from the nominal size in width and length¹. NobEssence toys are covered by warranty for 30 days against manufacturer defects.

Bottom line? You simply must get some wood into your vagina. Using NobEssence dildos is such a luxurious experience and they’re so gorgeous you’ll be tempted to leave them out on display. It’s true, they are a bit pricey but what expertly handcrafted products aren’t? It takes a lot of skill and labor to produce these beauties and I think they’re worth every penny.

There are several reasons why you should buy your NobEssence dildo from PeepShow Toys. First, they’re decent folks who promise to never sell you toxic or porous sex toys. Plus, I can also get you a 10% discount with code: DIZZY and all orders over $70 ship for free. Lastly, by purchasing a NobEssence toy or, anything else from PeepShow Toys, you help support my blog and I hope you like it enough to consider doing so.

Wooden dildos are nothing to fear. When crafted with love there are no splinters here. OK, was that cheesy? Sorry, had to do it. I do need to clarify that properly finished wooden dildos are nothing to fear. There’s some pretty scary shit being sold on Etsy. Then again, there are some very talented artists who are doing things the right way too. You just have to be careful when buying wooden dildos. You want to make sure that they are coated with a nonporous, waterproof, phthalate free finish.

One way to make sure you’re getting a safe wooden toy is to buy one made by NobEssence. They’re the most well-known company that makes wooden sex toys and the proprietary finish that they use (they call it Lubrosity) has been tested as safe.

My first wooden dildo was the NobEssence Seduction and it was love at first sight and use. It’s a G-spotting superstar and equally as beautiful. NobEssence dildos are like potato chips¹… you can’t stop at just one. And so, I longed to have another one of their lovely works of art. I had my eye on the Fling for a long time.

Well, what can I say other than, “Holy Fuck!” First time using the Fling resulted in three blended orgasms with squirting on the third. Now, the Fling didn’t do this all on its own. I do require clit stim to orgasm but the G-spot stimulation from the Fling is what pushed the orgasms over the top.

I love absolutely everything about the Fling. It’s perfect. It was designed for G-spot stimulation and it delivers in spades. Wood is such a wonderful sex toy material because you get that rigidity but without a lot of weight and it has a natural warmth that I find comforting.

With a bit of lube the Fling has no perceptible drag, that I can tell. The great thing is that you can use whatever type of lube you prefer. When you’re done having amazing orgasms, all you have to do is wash it with soap and water.

I can’t decide which I like better – the Fling or the Seduction. They’re both meticulously hand-crafted sensual sculptures that excel at targeting the G-spot. Here’s an odd little fact about me… for whatever reason, if I have something large in my vagina and I’m stretched, it somehow makes it more difficult for me to orgasm with clitoral stimulation. Bodies are weird. But that’s another thing that makes the Fling so perfect for me. It tapers to a very small diameter between the bulbous end and the finger grip handle so, my vagina is not stretched at all. It’s like NobEssence knew how my vagina works when they designed the Fling.

So, should you get yourself the NobEssence Fling? Is the sky blue? Is water wet? Do bears shit… I think you get my point. I can’t think of a single reason why you shouldn’t, unless you have some inexplicable aversion to gorgeous sensual sculptures and mind altering orgasms. If you like G-spot stimulation then this fabulous wooden dildo was made just for you. There is not a single thing that I can complain about and that’s kind of rare for me because I can find fault in damn near anything.

To maybe make your decision a little easier, you can save 10% with the code: DIZZY at checkout and you’ll get free shipping. I know NobEssence toys² are pricey but they are totally worth it.

This gorgeous, one of a kind dildo came to me all the way from France, with love. It’s really more than just a dildo though – more like a sensual erotic sculpture. It’s the meticulously handcrafted work of the Artist behind Idée du Désir (translated: Idea of Desire). Unquestionably, it is beautiful but it’s so much more than that. The Structured Orchid, as it’s called, massages my G-spot in such wonderful ways that it keeps me coming back for more. Its form is so perfectly organic; allowing the full spirit of the French Cherry it’s made of to really shine though. It’s been the only dildo I want to use since I received it and it has earned its rightful place on my nightstand.

Normally, I’m a little leery of wooden sex toys. You can’t always know if the finish that was used is body-safe and sometimes, it’s not even waterproof. The Artist has assured me that the finish he uses for his sculptures is body-safe and phthalates free. It’s safe for wooden dishes that come into contact with food and it’s used on wooden children’s toys so theoretically, it should be safe for sex toys. The only thing that is not known about this finish is whether or not it is nonporous.

The Artist tells me that it can be cleaned with a mild bleach solution but if the finish is porous then even this will not fully sanitize the dildo. For this reason, I have to recommend that you use a condom if you’re going to use these dildos anally or if you share them with others. So far, it does appear to be waterproof as I’ve washed it many times and I’ve observed no problems with the finish. However, the instruction sheet says that you shouldn’t soak the dildo but it has been my understanding that if the finish is waterproof, it should be able to withstand soaking for a short time. That said, it’s probably best to follow the instructions and avoid soaking it.

The Artist has many years of industrial woodworking experience and his skills translate beautifully to carving these sensual sculptures. He offers two variations of this dildo. One is the Skin Orchid, which  is completely smooth and the other is the Structured Orchid, which I have, and it has subtle ridges wrapping around the head of the dildo that provide a gentle texture. The Artist creates his sculptures from several types of wood (birch, cherry, walnut, and olive), all of French origin and he applies 7 layers of finish to each piece.

Harlequin Structured Orchid

He even creates dildos made of two different types of wood together and this is something I haven’t seen anywhere else. Both Orchid dildos come in the Harlequin option and I would love to have the Harlequin Skin Orchid. He accomplishes this patterned effect by gluing layers of the two different woods together, forming a block. He then carves the sculpture from that block, resulting in these stunning pieces.

You might have noticed that the Orchid dildo strongly resembles the very popular NobEssence Fling, right down to the finger holes. While I’m sure the Artist got some of his inspiration from the Fling, his pieces do have their own unique personality and he further sets them apart with the Structured and Harlequin versions.

So, how does the Structured Orchid feel? Incredible. No really, I love everything about it. It targets my G-spot perfectly and it’s a comfortable yet filling size. The finger holes make this dildo a joy to use. It’s so ergonomic and feels completely natural while thrusting with my fingers in the holes. Well, thrusting isn’t exactly the right word. I actually rock this dildo up and down rather than thrust it in and out. This is how I normally use G-spot dildos like this. Sometimes, I like to just push down on the handle and apply constant pressure against my G-spot, not moving it at all, while I use a clit vibe. Then, as I start to orgasm, I rock the handle up and down and this leads to some mind blowing blended orgasms… the kind that seem to go on forever and makes me glad that I remembered to use my Liberator Throe. But how you use it is totally up to you and some might enjoy thrusting with this dildo. That’s when those gentle ridges will really come into play, giving you the additional sensation. I’m not sure I get the most sensation from the ridges with the way that I use it, which probably means I’d love the Skin Orchid just as much as this one.

Since these are handcrafted, there will likely be some slight differences in size and shape and that’s what is so charming about having a handcrafted dildo like this. It is yours and yours alone. Nobody else will have a dildo exactly like yours. I’m sure the Artist does try to keep the measurements as consistent as possible from one piece to the next and my Structured Orchid measures 8.25” total length, about 6” insertable up to the handle and 1.75” in diameter at the thickest part of the head. If these dimensions aren’t perfect for you, the Artist does take custom orders.

As stated, the finish on my Structured Orchid is proving to be waterproof, which makes it easy to clean with soap and water or, a mild (10%) bleach solution can be used. The words “idée du désir” are engraved near the finger holes. I thought that this might be a place for lube and body fluids to get trapped but it really only takes a bit of extra care to thoroughly clean. You can use any kind of lube you want with these dildos, which is another advantage of a properly finished wooden sex toy.

My Structured Orchid arrived surprisingly fast, considering it came to the US from France. I really expected it to take much longer. A nice white satin storage pouch was included along with a small packet of lube plus care and cleaning instructions. The storage pouch is not padded so you’ll want to be careful because the finish can be compromised if the dildo is dropped. The Artist sells the Structured Orchid in French Cherry for €85.00 which converts to $112US and this is comparable to other artisan crafted wooden sex toys I’ve seen.

I am hopelessly infatuated with the Structured Orchid. It’s as functional as it is beautiful. It’s like it was custom made for my G-spot and with it, I achieve some really intense blended orgasms. I love knowing that the Artist’s hands have created this dildo with my pleasure in mind and there’s a unique natural warmth that comes from wooden sex toys. They’re also delightfully rigid yet, incredibly light weight.

This dildo hasn’t been put away in its pouch since I got it as I’d rather have it sitting out on my nightstand where I can see it. It seems like I’m always picking it up just so I can fondle it. It’s as though it calls out to me, begging for my attention. This lovely dildo easily belongs amongst my favorite sex toys and I haven’t been interested in using anything else since I got it. I do enthusiastically recommend the Structured Orchid to anyone with a G-spot, who can appreciate its individual character and charm.

There is one safe sex toy material that I haven’t had much of a chance to cover until now and that’s wood. Yes, sex toys can be made out of wood and please, don’t make me say it. Oh, alright… you won’t get splinters from a wooden sex toy. That’s usually someone’s first question.  But isn’t wood a porous material?  It is but when you buy from reputable manufacturers, your toy will be sealed with a nonporous, body-safe finish.¹

With wooden sex toys it is so important to buy from a reputable company. There are some wooden toys being sold that have questionable finishes. You can even find wooden sex toys on Etsy but often the safety, porosity and durability of the finish are not known. Recently, another reviewer had a really bad experience with a toy made by Dee Lee Doo, where the finish broke down and degraded when exposed to water, which you should be able to do with a properly finished wooden sex toy.

Due to the prevalence of unreliable finishes there is, as of this writing, really only one wooden sex toy manufacturer that I trust and recommend and that’s NobEssence. They use a proprietary finish that they call Lubrosity and it has been tested for safety and durability. It is water resistant and compatible with all types of lubricant, which you’ll need very little of. They handcraft the most elegant, sensual wooden sculptures that are unbelievably smooth and virtually flawless. I’ve been so fortunate to have gotten my hands (and vagina) on one of their pieces, thanks to SheVibe, and it instantly became a favorite.

My NobEssence Seduction is pure perfection. I’m resisting the urge to tell you that it’s beyond incredible and you should just run to get your wallet and order one RIGHT NOW (or maybe I just did).  I think the Seduction is a must have for anyone with a G-spot² and I could end the review right there because it really is that simple. I loved this dildo from the moment I opened the box and gazed upon its splendor then I used it for the first time and it was truly magical.  The Seduction appeals equally to both my inner sex geek and my inner nature geek.

The smaller ball-shaped end, which is 1.43″ in diameter, perfectly targets my G-spot and since the wood feels as hard as glass, I can get all the pressure I need, yet it’s so lightweight. It’s really nice that you can have that rigidity without all the weight of glass or steel. It makes for much easier thrusting plus, it doesn’t slip out when I let go of it to lube up my clit vibe because there’s not all that weight pulling down on it.

My first time with the Seduction, I paired it up with the Je Joue Uma on my clit and I had one of the absolute most intense blended orgasms I’ve ever had and I knew at that moment that this would be a dildo that I’d reach for time and time again. It’s one of those toys that I find myself daydreaming about and it makes me want to drop whatever I’m doing and go rub one out.

The smaller end totally rocks my G-spot but with the Seduction, you get a two for one. You can also use the large end and make no mistake… it is rather large. It was a bit of a challenge for me to get it inserted. The girth pushes my limits and since the end isn’t tapered, it was a little more difficult.  It wasn’t painful, there was just a lot of resistance as I tried to push it in. Once it did slide in, I felt completely full and stretched in a very pleasant way. It filled me up so much that there wasn’t a lot of room for thrusting so, I just sort of rocked the handle up and down, which is how I tend to use curved G-spot toys anyway.  This feels really nice but I definitely prefer the smaller end. The large end creates a broad, diffuse sensation whereas, the smaller end really concentrates the pressure, providing more intense stimulation.

The good news is, if you go for girth, the large end of the Seduction won’t let you down. Mine measures 1.8″  in diameter at the thickest point. Since these are handcrafted, each one will be unique and measurements can vary slightly but you will get something that is very close and because this is a rigid material, it feels all the more imposing.

Because of their Lubrosity sealant, NobEssence sex toys are easy to clean. You can use soap and water or a mild, 10% bleach solution. Just make sure not to use anything abrasive. If you accidentally drop the Seduction, look for damage to the finish.  If you’re unsure whether the finish has been damaged, you can soak it in water for a minute. If any dark spots develop then the finish has been compromised and you really shouldn’t use it anymore… and that would be tragic so, be careful.

The Seduction comes to you in a really lovely, stylish box with two elastic bands to hold it in place.  NobEssence sculpts the Seduction from 7 different types of wood – Iron Wood, Yellow Heart (which is the one I have),  Padauk, Sirius, Wenge, Black Palm and Laurel.  When you order directly from them you can specify which wood you want. You don’t necessarily get a choice when ordering from SheVibe but they’ll do their best to accommodate requests. No matter which type of wood you receive, they are all stunning and SheVibe has a better price plus free shipping. As always, when you purchase from SheVibe through my affiliate links, you’re supporting my blog and that is very much appreciated.

NobEssence’s wooden sex toys are a bit pricey but what fine, handcrafted products aren’t? Anytime it takes great craftsmanship, patience and pride to create a product, you’re going to pay more for it. So, is the Seduction worth it? Absolutely, a million times YES.³ I adore this dildo. It’s so gorgeous that I like to leave it displayed as a fine piece of art (and you will too). It does an outstanding job of stimulating my G-spot and it has a natural warmth to it that you don’t get from steel or glass sex toys. I can’t quite put my finger on it but there’s just something uniquely sensual about masturbating with a toy that was lovingly made by hand.
