A wand vibrator has a large, round head on a long handle. It gives broad, deep vibration over a wide area, which many people find easier to enjoy than a small, pointed vibration. Wands are also popular as a back and shoulder massager, which makes them a discreet purchase.

They are the best first upgrade for anyone who finds a bullet too buzzy or too weak.

How to Choose

Factor What to look for
Cord Cordless is more flexible; plug-in is stronger and never dies
Power Plug-in is strongest; cordless is strong enough for most
Head A flexible head is easier to angle; a firm head gives more pressure
Noise Rumbly, low-frequency motors are quieter than high buzzing
Size Full size for massage; mini for travel and storage
Material Silicone is body-safe and easy to clean
Waterproof Helpful for cleanup, but do not use plug-in wands in water

Cordless Wands

A rechargeable wand is the most versatile. You can use it anywhere without a cord, and modern ones are strong enough for most people. Look for a battery that lasts a full session and a flexible neck. Browse wand vibrators (from $20.00).

Mini and Travel Wands

A mini wand has the same broad vibration in a smaller body. It stores easily and travels well, though it is usually less powerful. See sex toys under $50.

Plug-In Wands

A corded wand has the strongest motor and never needs charging. The downside is the cord. Plug-in wands are a good choice if you prioritize power and plan to use it at home.

How to Use a Wand

  1. Start on the lowest setting, through underwear if the sensation is too strong.
  2. Use the flat side of the head for broad pressure, or the edge for more focus.
  3. Try different angles. Moving the head slightly changes the sensation.
  4. Add lube if you use it directly on skin, or with a toy attachment.
  5. Increase power slowly. Wands are strong, and more is not always better.

Many people also use a wand with a partner during foreplay or sex. See how to use sex toys with a partner.

Care

Wash the head with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner. Do not submerge a plug-in wand. Let it dry before storing, and use water-based lube with silicone heads.
