Vibrating Wands

Why choose a wand?

Wands deliver the strongest vibrations of any toy, and their wide head stimulates the whole vulva rather than a single point. That makes them a favourite for people who orgasm more easily with broad, firm pressure. If you'd like focused clitoral play instead, see our clitoral stimulators.

How to use a wand vibrator

Start on low over your underwear or a towel to soften the sensation, then move to direct contact as arousal builds. Try slow circles, gentle pressure or simply holding it still. Wands are also great for relaxing tense shoulders and back muscles before or after play. New to vibrators? Read Vibrator Virgins.

Wands for couples

A wand can be held against the clitoris during sex in many positions, especially with the receiving partner on top or lying on her back. See Clitoral Stimulation Tips During Penetrative Sex for ideas.

What to look for

Check whether it's cordless and rechargeable, how many speeds and patterns it offers, whether the head is soft and flexible, and how waterproof it is. Larger wands are more powerful; mini wands are easier to travel with.

Using a wand on the body, not just the clitoris

Wands began life as body massagers, and they're still brilliant for easing tension in the shoulders, back and thighs. Start a session with a relaxing massage to build arousal slowly, then move towards more sensitive areas. Because wands are so powerful, many people place a towel or a layer of underwear between the head and the clitoris to soften the sensation. The broad head also works beautifully on the perineum and inner thighs, and couples often use a wand on each other during foreplay.

Wand attachments

Silicone attachments turn a wand into a G-spot massager, a dual stimulator or even a masturbator for men. They slip over the head and channel the deep vibration exactly where you want it. Check that an attachment matches your wand's head size and shape before buying. Attachments are an affordable way to get far more from a single powerful toy, and they're easy to remove for cleaning.

Corded or rechargeable wand?

Corded wands plug into the wall and offer consistent, unlimited power, which is why they've been favourites for decades. Rechargeable wands are cordless, easier to use anywhere and many are now just as powerful, with the added bonus of being waterproof. If you want maximum power and never want to run out of charge, a corded wand is a classic choice. If freedom of movement and shower play matter more, choose rechargeable.
