The Ultimate Guide to Wand Vibrators: Magic Wands for Magical Times

Wand vibrators are the rock stars of the pleasure toy world. They're big, they're bold, and they're often your best friend when you're looking for guaranteed satisfaction.

Whether you're a seasoned pleasure pro or a curious newbie, this guide will walk (or buzz) you through everything you need to know about these magical gadgets. So, grab a coffee, sit back, and let’s dive into the world of wand vibrators.

 

What is a Wand Vibrator?

A wand vibrator is basically the Taylor Swift of sex toys. It’s powerful, versatile, and beloved by millions. Originally designed as a muscle massager, the wand vibrator quickly became famous for its, let’s say, off-label use.

Characterised by its long handle and a bulbous head, the magic wand is designed to deliver intense vibrations to large areas of the body. Unlike more targeted toys, it’s all about big, bold sensations. While it’s typically used externally, it can be paired with attachments for internal stimulation too. The best part? It’s great for everyone if you want to introduce it beyond solo-usage.

You'll find that wand vibrators are usually mains-powered or rechargeable, which means they’re capable of much stronger vibrations than battery-operated toys.

How to use a Wand Vibrator?

So, you’ve got yourself a wand vibrator. Congrats! Now, what?

Start Slow

Wands are like a strong cup of coffee, a little goes a long way, especially if you’re a beginner. Many wand vibrators have adjustable settings, so start on the lowest one. Trust us, even the "low" setting will surprise you.

Find the Sweet Spot

Wand vibrators are designed for external use, so there’s no need to go poking around (unless you’ve got an attachment for that). Start by pressing the head against your external erogenous zones, like the clitoris, perineum, or nipples. Move it around to find the spots that feel best for you. You'll soon unearth the sweet spots that turn you on.

Experiment with Pressure

One of the perks of a wand is its broad head, which allows for different sensations depending on how you use it. Press it firmly for deep, rumbly vibes or lightly for a gentler buzz.

Pro tip: If it’s too intense at first, try placing a thin layer of fabric (like your underwear) between you and the wand.

Mix It Up

Once you’ve got the basics down, experiment with patterns and intensities. Most modern wands have pulsating or wave-like settings that add variety to your play. If your wand is mains-powered and lacks fancy settings, you can still control the experience by moving it around and playing with angles.

Don’t Forget Other Body Parts

Remember, wand vibrators aren’t just for genital stimulation. Try it on your neck, shoulders, lower back basically, anywhere you’d like a good massage. Who said pleasure and self-care couldn’t mix?

 

Using a Vibrating Wand in Foreplay

If solo use is the cake, then using a wand in foreplay is the icing. Wands are perfect for adding some buzz to your bedroom antics, and they’re surprisingly versatile when it comes to couples play. Here’s how to level up your foreplay with a wand vibrator:

 

Break the Ice

For newbies, introducing a wand can be intimidating. Ease into it by using the wand as an actual massager. Start on their shoulders or back, and let the vibrations work their magic. Gradually move to more erogenous zones as things heat up, you'll know when the time is right!

Tag Team

Wands are great for multitasking. One partner can focus on the wand, while the other uses their hands, mouth, or another toy. It’s a team effort, and everyone wins.

Spice It Up

Try placing the wand between you during penetrative sex for extra stimulation. You can also use it to tease your partner by running it along their inner thighs, chest, or other sensitive areas. Remember, anticipation is half the fun!

Explore Attachments

Many wands come with attachments designed for couples or more specific stimulation. These can include sleeves, G-spot stimulators, or even dual-purpose options that provide vibrations for both partners simultaneously.

Keep Communication Open

As always, communication is key. Check in with your partner about what feels good and what doesn’t. Wand vibrators can be quite powerful, so make sure you’re both comfortable with the intensity.

 

 

Using Lube with a Wand Vibrator

Incorporating a wand vibrator into your intimate moments can elevate your experience, but pairing it with the right lubricant takes things to the next level. Lube reduces friction, enhances sensations, and ensures a smoother, more comfortable experience, whether you're using your wand solo or with a partner. Here’s a comprehensive guide on why, how, and what to consider when using lube with a wand vibrator.

Check out our Guide to Lube to learn more. 

 

Why use lube with a wand vibrator?

Wand vibrators are powerful tools designed to deliver intense stimulation. While their broad vibrating heads are great for targeting sensitive areas, the addition of lube ensures:

• Enhanced Sensations: Lube can amplify the vibrations, making them feel more intense and pleasurable.
• Reduced Friction: Even the softest silicone heads can cause discomfort if used on dry skin. Lube eliminates this issue, allowing for a seamless glide over your skin.
• Versatility: Lube makes it easier to explore different areas of your body, from external erogenous zones to more intimate regions.

 

Choosing the right lube for your Wand Vibrator

The type of lube you use matters, especially when considering the materials of your wand. Most wand vibrator heads are made of silicone, and here’s what to keep in mind:

Water-Based Lube:

• Safe for all toy materials, including silicone.
• Easy to clean and doesn’t leave a sticky residue.
• Perfect for quick use, though it may dry out faster than other lubes.

Explore our range of water-based lubes.

 

Silicone-Based Lube:

• Offers long-lasting slickness, ideal for extended play.
• May not be compatible with silicone wand heads, as it can degrade the material over time. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations.

How to Clean Your Wand Vibrator

Keeping your wand clean is as important as choosing the right one. A clean toy is a happy toy (and a healthy you). Here’s how to keep your wand in tip-top shape:

Check the Material

Most wand vibrators have a silicone head, but some older models might have a porous material like rubber or plastic. If your wand isn’t fully waterproof, cleaning it requires a little extra care to avoid damaging the motor.

Unplug or Turn It Off

Before cleaning, make sure your wand is turned off and unplugged. Electrocution is a major buzzkill, literally.

Use the Right Cleaner

For non-porous materials like silicone, use warm water and mild soap or a dedicated sex toy cleaner. We recommend Skins' Cleanse Toy Cleaner as the ideal easy to use cleaner for your toys.

Avoid harsh chemicals, as these can degrade the material over time.

Clean the Head Thoroughly

If the head is removable, detach it and wash it separately. If it’s fixed, use a damp cloth to clean it. Be gentle but thorough, especially in any grooves or seams where dirt might accumulate.

Wipe Down the Handle

Even if you didn’t use the handle directly, it’s good practice to wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Hands get sweaty, and bacteria love a warm, moist environment.

Dry Completely

Let your wand air-dry or use a clean, lint-free cloth. Make sure it’s completely dry before storing it, especially if you’re using a case or bag.

Store Safely

Store your wand in a clean, dry place, ideally in its own bag or box to avoid dust or lint buildup. If it’s rechargeable, make sure it’s not stored in a way that could damage the charging port.

 

 

Grab your wand and cast a spell

Wand vibrators are an absolute game-changer in the world of pleasure toys. They’re reliable, versatile, and oh-so-powerful. Whether you’re using it solo or with a partner, for self-care or self-love, a wand vibrator is guaranteed to bring a little extra magic to your life.

So, what are you waiting for? Go forth and explore the buzzing brilliance of wand vibrators. Just don’t forget to clean it after (and maybe stretch before if you’re getting adventurous). Happy buzzing!
