There are so many sex toys to choose from, all made for different kinds of pleasure. If you’re looking for something with a lot of power, a wand vibrator is our top pick for you. We spoke with a variety of sex experts and educators to learn more about what makes wand vibes so great and which ones you should consider.
What are wand vibrators?
Wands are usually characterized by big, tennis ball–shaped heads and intense motors. They use pressure and vibration to provide external stimulation, and their size and shape deliver power that comes through in deep, rumbly vibrations, which can be downright mind-blowing for clitoral stimulation, in particular. If focusing on your clitoris is one of the ways you like to orgasm, wand vibes are some of the best sex toys you can try. (If you’re looking for G-spot stimulation, you might find that with rabbit vibrators and dildos, among others.)
Because of their wide heads, which cover a lot of surface area, wand vibrators are easy to use during masturbation or with a partner. They can be used all over the body, including on the nipples, penises, butt, and beyond.
What should you look for in a wand vibrator?
Some wands are smaller and more discreet, while others are veritable powerhouses. Many come with a variety of different speeds and settings. These days, most options are wireless, but some wands have cords, meaning you never have to charge them (or replace batteries). The head of the wand vibrator should be made out of a non-porous material, like smooth silicone, that’s soft and easy to clean. If you want to take your wand into the tub or shower, make sure to buy one that’s waterproof. (Many wands are not, since the motors are typically made with plastic.) Lastly, be sure to pair any silicone vibe with water-based lube. This type of lube won’t break down the toy’s material, which a silicone lube (including the lube on some pre-lubricated condoms) can do.
