Laid D1 Blue Pearl Larvikite Dildo

Beautiful things will always grab my attention. I can’t help it, I’ve always been a sucker for pretty, sparkly, shiny things. Some sex toys are pretty, some are sparkly and shiny, but not many can say they’re all of those things and more. One, however, most definitely can, and that would be the Laid D1 Blue Pearl Larvikite Dildo.

I’ve had so many different sex toy shapes, styles and materials through my hands by now, but nothing quite as spectacular as this. Not even the Laid D2 Black Granite Dildo that I love to death. The D1 is special in more ways than one.

Firstly, it’s stunning in its simplicity. There’s no fancy tip or funky ridged detailing. There’s just a gently curved asymmetric shaft that’s polished and buffed to a super high shine. What makes it beautiful is what it’s made from.

Blue Pearl Larvikite. Aka, Black Norwegian Moonstone. It’s a type of crystal called feldspar that gives this 300 million year old igneous rock its delightful sparkle. Depending on your light source and the angle, you’ll see flashes of silver, white and gold mixed in with the black, greys and blues. That effect is called labradorescence, taken from the feldspar mineral Labradorite, which is extremely similar in appearance to Larvikite.

This rock has long been used as a decorative material in the building trade, and sometimes the jewellery one, so whoever had the idea to make dildos out of it is a genius in my opinion. Is there any experience more indulgent than giving yourself an orgasm with a sparkly piece of ancient rock? Probably, but it won’t be an affordable one.

The Laid D1 measures up at eight inches in total length, and is insertable from one end only. I’m not 100% sure why that is, to be honest. My best guess is that it’s something to do with the Laid branding that’s engraved into the ‘handle’. It isn’t polished, so could potentially be porous. I could be way off the mark, but I can’t think of another reason for it.

Girth wise it’s 4.5” inches at the widest point, so would be well suited to those new to insertable toys. But it isn’t a beginner’s dildo by any means. The weight makes it feel so much bigger than it actually is, because it pulls and presses in all the right places. That makes it a pretty accessible product, because it’s going to have something for most people. There’s no flare to it, though, so anyone without a vagina should give it a miss for penetration. It isn’t suitable for anal use.

If its loveliness makes you still want one, massage is an idea. It feels great when heated in hot water and stroked over the skin. If you prefer to torment, chilling it in icy water before setting about playing with your partner is a good way to get them squealing. You can safely use oils with it, though ensure you take extra care when cleaning to make sure all traces are washed away.

Lubes are the same, too. You can use any lube with the D1, though I tend to stick with water-based. It gets really slippery once it’s wet, so be sure to have a soft surface for it to land on should you drop it. I don’t know if you’d be more likely to break your floor or your dildo, but either way I’m sure you wouldn’t want to risk finding out.

My absolute favourite way of using the Laid D1 is on my back, slowly twisting it in and out of me. The lines of the asymmetric shape stroke and stimulate different areas with each pass, and it’s lovely to lie there lazily thrusting a little deeper each time, letting myself fully appreciate every movement. With each inch I take I get something new. A different sensation around my vaginal opening, the soft thudding feeling of the rounded tip knocking against my cervix, or even behind it.

G-spotting is really easy with the D1 too, it just takes a minimal amount of angling. It’s a subtle sensation because of the rounded nature of the tip, but the solidness and weight puts more behind it than something the same shape but made from silicone could offer.

Taking it in the bath is fun, and I’m not really all that interested in playing alone in water. But being able to use any lube makes it easy because silicone doesn’t just wash away. I can slick the dildo up and play as long as I like, knowing I’m not going to ‘dry-up’. Being able to manipulate temperatures just by running a tap lets me change up the sensations I feel without having to switch toys.

Yeah, glass and metals do the same thing, but I personally find that stone retains temperatures better. A cold fuck in a hot bath is just as good as a hot fuck in a cold shower, so the D1 is a surprising bath time fave for me. Oddly, it feels colder to me than the D2 Black Granite does. From the box both are cold, but the D1 feels icy rather than just cool. It holds heat just as well, though.

Cleaning the D1 is easy. I rinse mine under a hot tap, watching any lubes and body fluids literally slide off it. Silicone lubes need soap and a good rinse, though. After that, I use toy cleaner to make sure everything is as hygienic as possible, and then it goes back in its box.

At this point in a review I’d usually give a few thoughts on who a product would be best suited to, based on a person’s experience levels, or their love of size or textures. But I honestly think that anyone who is into vaginal penetration could find something to love about the D1. Even a partner can get something special out of this, because of how pretty it is. The Fella tells me that he places me under the overhead light whenever he uses the D1 on me because he loves how the crystals make my vaginal fluids glitter. It’s a strange thing to be captivated with, but he is.
