L’Acier First-Ever Steel Vibrating Dildo Review

If you haven’t dipped your toes in the world of steel sex toys, you’re missing out. Steel is nearly indestructible, and unlike silicone, it’s recyclable and, therefore, better for the Earth. Because of its non-porous exterior, the material is easy to clean (no UTIs for us, thank you very much!) and compatible with all kinds of lubes, which is important because steel is an inflexible material — meaning it’s got no give — so lubricant is essential. Steel sex toys are heavier than plastic ones, which might sound scary (okay, maybe it is!), but it’s actually a scientific marvel. The weightier material works with gravity (yes, that gravity!) to put the perfect amount of pressure on your G-spot and clit (both internally and externally). In fact, it’s so perfect that many users say squirting is a given, according to sex toy brand L’Acier.

L’Acier, which literally means “steel” in French, is a sexual wellness brand that specializes in — you guessed it — steel sex toys. Though its collection boasts an anal plug and wand, its claim to fame is Capo: the first-ever vibrating steel dildo. Clocking in at just over 2 pounds and shy of 1.5 inches around, Capo is a big boi. This thing is not for the small vagina-ed. And to be frank, I have narrow-set hips and a penchant for clitoral stimulators, so I probably should have been more nervous to try out Capo (which really is a monster in both size and heft). However, the idea of a steel sex toy and its innumerable benefits had me fully excited. Perhaps too excited. Keep reading to learn from my trials and tribulations with this girthy toy and how to best make Capo work for you.
