10 Best Electro Sex Toys In 2024, Reviewed by a BDSM Educator!

My testers were shocked (pun intended!) to find the highest-rated electro sex toy was Kinklab’s Neon Wand Electrosex Kit that The Stockroom currently sells. All of us were impressed by its groundbreaking design, top-notch craftsmanship, and use of premium-grade materials, combined with Kinklab and The Stockroom’s legendary dedication to producing the safest and most versatile BDSM playthings and, without a doubt, this year’s absolute test winner.

Why You Should Trust Us

Hi, I am M.Christian. From my first introduction to the kinky delights of BDSM toys back in the late 80s to thirty-five years as a well-known erotica author, sexual educator, and sex tech journalist, it’d be challenging and then some to find someone more qualified to write this guide to the ten electro sex toys.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t need help now and again, which is why I called on my even more knowledgeable staff of product reviewers, BDSM enthusiasts, sex ed teachers, and professional sexologists who lent me their phenomenal expertise to select the highest scoring, most amazing vibrating toys and e stim devices.

I also love hearing stories from my readers, so if you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can call me at +1 307-372-3895 or send an email to [email protected]—just make sure to include your name and contact information.

How We Picked The Products

It’s difficult enough to select the best of anything, but it can be especially difficult when choosing BDSM toys as complicated, possibly risky, and with so many different types and styles as electro sex products. Thankfully, my team of sex toy testers and I have become quite proficient at screening out the good from the not-as-good; a system made all the easier via our use of the following all-important points.

Using these five criteria—which you can also use when it comes time to buy your own—we narrowed the hundreds of potential candidates down to this year’s top electro sex toys. Once everything was set, I defined test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100. These factors included the following:

• Manufacture: Arguably more than any other kinky devices, e-stim toys must be extremely well made. Not just because every BDSM product should be, but if they aren’t, they can place their users at risk of serious or even possibly life-threatening injuries. That’s why my team and I restricted our choices to BDSM community-approved companies like The Stockroom and Lovehoney, who understand the pleasures and do whatever they can to minimize the risks when using e-stim products.
• Material: The same is true for what goes into creating electric shock sex toys, as substandard plastics, inferior metals, or crudely engineered wiring can mean the difference between fun and hurting yourself or those you care about. It’s another reason we only looked at The Stockroom and Lovehoney when putting together our list of this year’s greatest e-stim toys.
• Design: Along with picking only professionally manufactured review samples formed from top-of-the-line materials, Lovehoney and The Stockroom are equally famous for designing the world’s highest-ranking, top-scoring electrical devices. Play with any of their well-respected products, and it’s a surefire bet you’ll have an extremely good and, best of all, a safe time. If you’re looking for some good beginner’s e-stim toys, I enjoy ones made by Doc Johnson, Noir Aura, and, of course, any e-stim products made by kink-community-approved companies.
• Safety: Speaking of, Lovehoney and The Stockroom know what’s more crucial than designing and building quality BDSM products from superior-quality materials is, first and foremost, every BDSM gear must be as safe as possible—and doubly so for e-stim products. However, their impressive focus on reducing harm doesn’t mean you shouldn’t—and I mean always—take every precaution possible before switching on anything to do with electrical stimulation play.
• Versatility: Though we didn’t take points away from products designed for a single type of electrical stimulation play, my team and I did give extra ones to multipurpose models. For one thing, they are ideal for e-stim novices wanting to experiment with a range of unique sensations. For another, they can do all that without needing to purchase a bunch of different toys, which can take a lot of time and, worst yet, a lot of money. However, uniquely created products like a prostate massager with a good insertable length aren’t something that can be used for more than one type of sensation play while remaining a lot of fun.

Beginning with the thirty most popular e-stim toys sold by kink community-approved manufacturers, I used my five-point criteria to cut them down to fifteen. During testing, we rated each review sample based on the criteria listed above starting from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). Each score was calculated using different weighted metrics depending on what we deemed most important. Half the total rating comes from Manufacture (25%) and Safety (25%). After that comes Design (10%), Material (10%), and Versatility (5%).

After my loyal band of product testers tried them, reducing the contenders to twelve, I asked a hand-picked selection of sexologists, BDSM enthusiasts, and sex educators what they thought of them. Lastly, I spent several days reading online customer reviews, resulting in this list of the best electro sex toys.

1. Kinklab Neon Wand Electrosex Kit: Overall Test Winner!

Why I Love Kinklab’s Neon Wand Electrosex Kit:

Hopefully, everyone reading this article knows that, more than anything else, BDSM must be as safe as possible. More than sexy, more than thrilling, more than arousing, everyone, from members of the kink community to the companies making their toys, must ensure everything related to BDSM is aware of its risks and do whatever it takes to prevent injury. It is especially true for electrical play, as in the wrong—or merely not adequately trained—hands, even super high-quality models can be dangerous.

So if you or your partner are interested in its highly-charged delights, you have to buy your equipment from manufacturers like The Stockroom, who my testers and I unanimously agreed, by partnering with the BDSM geniuses over at Kinklab have created an amazing Neon Wand Electrosex Kit: our hands-down choice of this year’s best electro sex toy.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

Not necessarily a specific complaint as it is a general observation about electro-sex toys, but I strongly recommend doing a lot of research, taking as many hands-on classes as you can, and learning from respected experts before purchasing one of these bad boys.

Because while Kinklab’s Neon Wand Electrosex Kit beats every other device of its type, and Kinklab and The Stockroom knock their BDSM competitors out of the water, that doesn’t mean you can just plug it in and go to town. So do yourself and those you play with a favor and do whatever you can to understand the pleasures and perils of electro sex before you do anything.

If you’re a beginner who stumbled upon this article, we recommend starting with beginner-friendly BDSM toys first like ball gags and ring gags. Electro play can be too much if you started your BDSM journey with it. You can check the best ball gags and ring gags we tested by clicking their respective links.

Why Kinklab Neon Electrosex Kit Is The Best Electro Sex Toy:

Based on the well-known and always stimulating delights a violet wand can offer, it took the combined BDSM brilliance of Kinklab and The Stockroom to create this jaw-dropping well-made—and impressively versatile—kit. Unlike other electric sex toys, Kinklab’s Wand Electrosex Kit includes a perfectly insulated power course (the violet wand itself), four different glass attachments, and a handy and stylish box to keep everything in.

Speaking of attachments, you’ve got everything you’ll ever need and then some. We found nothing tops its Electrode Comb for wide-area stimulation, the Mushroom is a blast for more specific body parts, the Ninety-Degree Probe does an even better job of shocking very specific places, and the Tongue Tube says it all. But wait, there’s more, as the arcing, spiking pleasures of the Kinklab Neon Wand Electrosex Kit don’t stop there—and also helps to explain why we gave it our highest marks, making it a no-brainer to award it our test winner.

• Manufacture: We all agreed there’s nothing cheap, shoddy, or half-ass about Kinklab’s Wand Electrosex Kit. Its solid-state charging circuitry guarantees a range of arousing shocks, from light tickles to more serious sensations. Its attachments are durable, easy to remove and attach, and effortless to clean.
• Material: We were also amazed by Kinklab’s choice of the finest, and the most carefully thought out materials, they used to make their electric sex toy. Kinklab’s attention to detail and respect for their users is so high none of us felt the Wand Electrosex Kit’s $150 price tag was inappropriately high. If anything, its purchase price is astonishingly low when compared to other electro sex kits and what Kinklab put into it.
• Safety: No other manufacturer comes close to Kinklab, not to mention The Stockroom, overriding emphasis on creating the safest and most stimulating electrostimulation toys in the world. It also makes Kinklab’s Wand Electrosex Kit a great option for intermediate electro sex aficionados or people looking for a great introduction to its myriad delights.
• Versatility: The Kinklab’s Wand Electrosex Kit’s four separate wands are magical glass keys that unlock infinite erotic possibilities. Even if the Wand Electrosex Kit only came with one, it’d still be enough of an electrostimulation toy to satisfy more people’s electrically charged fantasies. So imagine what you and your sub could do with four.

Features:

• Material: Copper, Glass, PPV Plastic
• Measurements: Its Power Cord Is 8ft Long. The Main Unit Is 8″ In Length With 0.66″ In Diameter. With Any Of Its Attachments, The Entire Toy Is 13″ From One End To Another.
• Colors: Comes In Purple Or Red

Pros:

• Its power pack comes in either a US 110 or a 220-volt European version.
• It can produce a wide range of sensations, such as light and sensual or nicely intense.
• It ships with four separate glass wands.
• It’s a superb choice for moderately to extremely experienced electro sex fans.

Cons:

• It’s not recommended for electro sex beginners.
• Its glass must be treated carefully to prevent accidental breakage.
• Recklessly handed violet wands can be dangerous.

2. ElectraStim KIX Electrosex: Budget & Beginners

Why I Love Lovehoney’s ElectraStim KIX:

Everyone, especially novices to the myriad delights of e stim play, wants to save money. Doubtly so, as quality and, therefore, safe electrostimulation toys are more times than not on the expensive side. Both explain why our testers and I were overjoyed to find Lovehoney, known far and wide for their outstandingly high-scoring catalog of first-class BDSM gear, selling an affordable and fantastic beginner’s e-stim device.

Portable, simple to use, and capable of exciting novices and expert e-stim play folx alike, Lovehoney’s The ElectraStim KIX Beginner Electrosex Stimulator Kit packs a lot of great features into its $84.99 package.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

However hard my testers and I tried, we couldn’t find anything, as in nothing at all; we wished the ElectraStim KIX Beginner Electrosex Stimulator Kit could have done better.

But being the professionals that we are and firmly believing everything, even amazing electro toys like ElectraStim KIX Beginner Electrosex Stimulator Kit, could do with at least a tweak or two, we felt it might not deliver enough voltage to excite more experienced electrical play enthusiasts.

Why ElectraStim KIX Electrosex Is Our Budget Pick:

Getting back to what this fun and arousing e-stim toy gets right, and how it handily beats its competitors, and for half or maybe even a third of the cost, here’s a neat little, but still effortless to control, little TENS-style unit practically made for people curious about electrical play but unwilling to shell out hundreds of dollars to see if they might like it.

Sure, almost $99 isn’t exactly low-cost. Still, when you look at what others, often not as well shaped perfectly, professionally made, or as safe as an ElectraStim KIX Electrosex Stimulator Kit, you, like my testers and myself, will be even more impressed by it. Everyone we gave it to, like my group of carefully selected BDSM educators, sexologists, and sexuality experts, agreed the ElectraStim kit sets a new standard for affordability and the best option for newcomers.

• Manufacture: You’d think, but be wrong, that a less than $99 TENS toy would look, feel, and function less well than more elaborate and costly electro sex toys. Agreed, when it comes to electrical current, the ElectraStim can’t light up the Brooklyn Bridge, but that’s not what it was designed and made to do. For what it is and how it’s intended to be used, no other beginner product can compare.
• Design: Adding to why my testers and I gave the Lovehoney’s ElectraStim such a high score, knocking it far beyond competing electro sex toys, its big, bold, and appropriate colored buttons made it effortless to operate: another feather we enthusiastically stuck in the cap of this high ranking budget and beginner’s e stim device.
• Versatility: The great keeps getting greater, like how you can use the ElectraStim nearly everywhere—and safely. With the usual caveat you and your partner need to know what you’re doing, there’s practically no limit to where you can attach either of its adhesive pads.

Features:

• Material: Plastic And Electronic Components
• Colors: White And Black With Red, Blue, And Green Control Buttons

Pros:

• Its power pack can hold an electrical charge sufficient for three hours of playtime.
• It’s compatible with many other electrical play accessories
• It comes with a connector cable, two adhesive pads, and a storage bag.

Cons:

• It’s probably not a great choice for people turned on by more intense electrical sensations.
• Its $84.99 price tag is low for electro sex products but higher than many BDSM toys.

3. Kinklab Agent Noir Wand Kit: For Experienced Players

Why I Love Kinklab’s Agent Noir Wand Kit:

Back with another high-scoring, brilliantly engineered, always exciting e-stim product, my testers and I have resoundingly proclaimed the Kinklab’s Agent Noir Wand what every well-versed electrical play kinkster dreamt of—ever since they first got their first and extremely arousing shock.

It’s like Kinklab, in conjunction with The Stockroom’s world-renowned BDSM expertise, reached into your crackling hot fantasies and pulled out the violet wand-type toy other violet wands can barely hope to match. Does that sound like a bit much, like we might be slightly exaggerating why Kinklab’s Agent Noir Wand won its gold ribbon for best electro-stimulation toy for experienced enthusiasts?

The truth is all of us feel that’s not too much but far too little praise, like how it comes with not five, not six, not eight, but TEN different attachments. Do you want an electro whip, or how about a bunch of unique glass probes to stick up or in someone then get? We know you do, and for all that and more, you need to get your mitts on a Kinklab’s Agent Noir Wand Stim Kit. We especially liked playing with the electro whip, which did wonders for tingling our nerve endings and boosting our various erogenous zones.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

When push comes to shove, everyone who spent time with Kinklab’s Agent Noir Wand Kit came away with one fairly important downside to it: not how it felt, which was resoundingly fun, or how finely it’s designed and made, but its $320 cost.

Still, if you know and love electrical play, you know that you can’t put a price tag on quality, safety, and power.

Why Kinklab’s Agent Noir Is Our Favorite For Experienced Players:

From its bevy of uniquely designed, premium-crafted, and high-quality attachments, its extremely powerful coil—and not forgetting you get a stylish case to keep everything in—there never was any question Kinklab’s Agent Noir Wand would walk away with our prize for the top electro stimulation toy for experienced players.

As you’ve probably guessed, those aren’t the only reasons why it’s here on our list—and why it’s scored so high for pleasure, power, comfort, and style:

• Manufacture: If The Stockroom sells it and Kinklab conceived and built it, you know it’ll send their competitors scrambling, trying—and more times than not failing—to keep up. No less for Kinklab’s Agent Noir Wand Kit, which made my testers and I feel like we were Bond, James Bond, unpacking one of Q’s cleverer devices. But instead of thwarting a supervillain or two, the mission was to charge our playmates to shockingly high levels of sexual arousal to enhance their sex life and sexual pleasure.
• Design: Making a super-cool electrical play is fine, but everyone who got to play with Kinklab’s Agent Noir Wand Kit told me they gave it an eleven out of ten because it’s an example of BDSM toy designing brilliance. Bravo, Kinklab, for showing time and time again they know how not just to make great electro toys but utterly fantastic ones for adding a lot to your sex life and arousing your erogenous zones.
• Versatility: With its ten wildly unique accessories set, Kinklab’s Agent Noir Wand Kit can do anything to anyone. Or maybe it’d be more accurate to say it’s capable of dishing out everything imaginable to everyone who wants to enjoy its high-voltage delights.

Features:

• Material: Glass, PPV Plastic, Copper
• Measurements: 13″ x 8″ And 0.66″ In Diameter.
• Colors: Silver, Black, White

Pros:

• It’s available in European, 220, or US 110 voltages.
• Its ten attachments, power unit, cords, and accessories easily fit into its included lockable steel briefcase.
• It comes with an electro whip, several electric stimulation wands, and other stim attachments.
• Its power pack can produce a range of different electrical current vibration modes.
• It’s designed and built for twenty-five to thirty-minute play sessions.

Cons:

• Its over $300 price tag means few kinksters can afford it.
• It’s not recommended for electro sex play novices.

4. Lovehoneys ElectraStim Uni-Polar: Great For Penis Stimulation

Why I Love Lovehoney’s ElectraStim Uni-Polar Metallic Adjustable Cock Loops:

If you or the person, or people you like to play with, are equipped with a penis, then hold on tight—though not necessarily to that part of your body. Why? The answer is compliments of the wizards of kink, the magicians of BDSM, the mad geniuses of everything sexy; comes an electro-stimulation toy that’s sure to knock not your penis—and sorry to disappoint if you’re into that kind of thing—but your socks clean off.

Plug one or both of these bad boys into an ElectraStim power unit, which is, unfortunately, sold separately, and watch the sparks fly as the penis-owner gets a tingling hot jolt of the exciting current. The person with a penis doesn’t need to be erect or a power tripper to experience the high-voltage delights of Lovehoney’s ElectraStim Uni-Polar Metallic Adjustable Cock Loops. It’s why my team and I ranked it the highest of every electro sex accessory for comfort, how easy it is to use and fun to play with, and portability.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

Because Lovehoney’s ElectraStim Uni-Polar Metallic Adjustable Cock Loops don’t come with a power unit, they will hit your wallet pretty hard. How much depends on what model of power unit you want, but to give you a ballpark, they typically run anywhere from nearly $90 to upwards of $400-$500.

Why Lovehoney ElectraStim Uni-Polar Is The Best Male Electro Sex Toy:

All of my penis-equipped testers were delighted by how powerfully arousing these loops felt, a sentiment echoed by their non-penile partners who got off watching them squirm when they, meaning the loops, were connected to an appropriate power source. Not that we haven’t put other electro-sex penis-products through their paces. It’s just Lovehoney’s ElectraStim Uni-Polar Metallic Adjustable Cock Loops’ different and considerably simpler approach scored higher than other, frequently much too complex, accessories.

Many of my testers also praised how quickly Lovehoney’s ElectraStim Uni-Polar Metallic Adjustable Cock Loops could be removed: a feature that makes them a fine addition to every electrical stimulation fan’s play bag. Though there are other, just as exciting, points in Lovehoney’s ElectraStim Uni-Polar Metallic Adjustable Cock Loops favor—which explains why we presented them with a pair of gold stars.

• Design: Taking a novel and uniquely arousing approach to electro sex penis play, Lovehoney’s ElectraStim Uni-Polar Metallic Adjustable Cock Loops aren’t inserted, wrapped around, or attached somehow to that specific body part but, as the name suggests, is looped around the shaft.
• Safety: It’s a great design choice as it lets them be taken off instantly should the need arise or be moved around easily for enhanced stimulation possibilities.

Features:

• Material: Metal, Plastic
• Measurements: The Loops Can Be Adjusted From A Quarter To 1.5″ In Diameter.
• Colors: Black, Silver

Pros:

• The ElectraStim is heartily recommended for penis-equipped novices for their safety, comfort, and versatility.
• They can be slid along the shaft of the penis or used to stimulate single or multiple areas.
• The ElectraStim kit can be taken on vacation or used at home.

Cons:

• They do not come with a power pack or control unit.
• Under no circumstances should they be used near or on a person’s chest.

Other Good Alternatives

The Stockroom’s Electrastim Extreme Electro Butt Plug: because when it comes to mixing the pleasures of anal stimulation with the high voltage delights of electrical play, no other BDSM community-approved company can get anywhere close to The Stockroom for quality, enjoyment, and safety. Get yourself or your partner one of these beauties, hook it up to any of The Stockroom’s great power supplies, and get ready to rocket into the stratosphere with pleasure.

The Stockroom’s ElectraStim Habanero: As anyone with a penis will attest, there’s anal stimulation then there’s all the amazingly exciting things that can happen when you use a prostate massager. But this isn’t an ordinary prostate massager. The Stockroom’s ElectraStim Habanero is an electrosex toy that brings extra intense tingling sensations to your p-spot stimulation activities and pelvic floor pleasures via its effective intensity levels, vibration modes, and great design. Use this prostate massager butt plug and experience more pleasure for less effort.

The Stockroom’s ElectraStim Nona: because if you have a vagina, you also probably know how fabulously arousing and stimulating that other sexually sweet stop is. Though nailing someone’s prostate is often tricky, landing the right vibrations onto your or your partner’s G-spot can be equally so. Enter The Stockroom’s ElectraStim Nona, which also uses the power of electricity to jolt whoever’s G-spot is fortunate enough to come into contact with it. If you have a vagina and know and love your G-spot or want to stimulate your pelvic floor, then get one of these electro sex wonders and be prepared for a very wild ride.

The Stockroom’s Mystim Thin Finn is great for everyone who likes that narrow little part of their body sexually stimulated. Use it with or without an e-stim toy, and you’ll experience the delights of urethral stimulation brought to entirely new and intensely arousing levels. Just be sure and lube it up so getting in or out will be smooth sailing; something more than a couple of my sex toy testers recommended based on their own wince-inducing experiences.

The Stockroom’s ElectraStim Jack Socket because The Stockroom has truly outdone themselves with this outrageous, as in outrageously pleasurable, a marriage of a stroker and electro sex toy: a feat only their wickedly kinky imaginations could have come up with, and an experience you or your partner have to feel to believe. With their ElectraStim Jack Socket, The Stockroom has utterly rewritten the e-stim sex toy guidebook, giving it a hot new chapter on the throbbing pleasures of a powerful stroker that further enhances the already thrilling excitement of an e-stim device. It’s an achievement kinksters from Berlin to Boston have been waiting for and will surely fulfill even your wildest Fifty Shades Of Grey fantasies.

Lovehoney’s ElectraStim Komodo for when you or your partner need to give your penetrative play possibilities an extra-intense boost. Attach this attractively sexy and outrageously arousing dildo to your preferred e-stim sex toy power supply, use a good squirt of electroconductive gel, and be prepared to be amazed by how hair-raising fun a Lovehoney’s ElectraStim Komodo can be. But if electro sex play isn’t your thing or not all the time, this wonderful device can also be a lot of sexual fun without needing to be plugged into a power source. A fact that makes it a great choice for e-stim users or merely people who want to add a little variety to their sex lives.

What Are E-Stim Toys?

E-stim devices are specifically created and engineered to erotically or sensually stimulate the user through low-voltage electricity. Depending on the make and model, their sensations can be anything from gentle and soothing to extremely intense. Some E stim devices are made to work with already existing devices like violet wands, while others have their circuits and power sources integrated into a single unit.

Types Of E-Stim Toys

There are all sorts of different electro stimulation toys available today. As I just said, some need an external power source, often sold separately, though others are fully integrated.

Here’s a brief overview of some of the most common types of E stim devices and their various features and benefits.

Violet Wands. First developed as a supposedly therapeutic device in the 1900s, wands employ high voltage, low current—typically channeled to the user via a glass attachment—to produce an intense tingling sensation. While some violet wands are battery-powered, they commonly need to be plugged into a wall outlet. 

EMS/TENS Units. Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) devices are medical devices usually consisting of a power/control unit to which a set of dermal contacts are attached. Often used as a muscle relaxant, EMS or TENS units deliver pulsing, twitching electrical sensations when activated. Most units are adjustable, offering several different pulse combinations and intensity levels. More on medical fetish toys in this guide.

Erotic Electro Stimulation Devices. While violet wands and EMS/TEMS devices are often sold to treat medication conditions, Erotic Electro Stimulation Devices are made for sexual or BDSM activities. Some models have an adjustable control and power supply box, connective wires, and snap connectors that can be fitted to dermal contacts or even uniquely made electronic sex toys.

How To Use Electro Sex Toys?

Though the current generation of e-stim products, particularly models made and sold by BDSM community respected companies like The Stockroom and Lovehoney, are created from the ground up to be comfortable and durable and to reduce the possibility of user injury, electrical toys can be dangerous when used incorrectly. It’s why I’ve repeated over and over again why you and your partner should take them very seriously, beginning with dominants and submissives pledging to fully educate themselves about electro sex’s benefits, joys, and, above all else, its risks [1].

There’s no excuse not to, especially as the BDSM community is so fond of teaching novices everything they ever wanted to know about anything—however frightened or embarrassed they might be to ask. Estim toys are no exception. Though I also want to go on record that while hundreds of articles, lectures, and YouTube videos exist, that doesn’t mean they are providing correct information. As with buying your first electro sex toy, ensure your education comes from a kink-community-recognized expert and no one else.

Note: Once you get the hang of the pain and pleasure of each current, you can enhance it by adding sensory deprivation play with the help of BDSM blindfolds. If you have extra cash to spare, a BDSM hood would be a better option. But if you’re in a pinch, then the last resort would be to make a DIY BDSM blindfold, we have an extensive guide on how to make one right here.

After completing your electro sex education, don’t rush to plug yourself or your partner in or be a rude power tripper. Rather, fully negotiate everything, including establishing a safe word or words, ensuring your space isn’t risky, and making contingency plans should things go south. I also recommend trying your e-stim playthings on your own body first to experience firsthand how they feel. If their electrical currents aren’t to your liking then don’t use them on anyone else.

Even if you do like their electro currents, take things very, very, VERY slowly when playing with someone else. A good area to begin with is their inner thigh after applying some conductive gel to diminish how much of an electric shock they might receive. Other safety precautions include keeping your toy’s external power pack or rechargeable batteries away from moisture. All it takes is a wet hand touching an improperly maintained battery-powered e-stim product for someone to receive a painful or dangerous shock.

While playing with another person, make sure you stay in constant communication with them and, at the first sign of any discomfort, immediately disconnect them from If they don’t immediately recover or experience pain, shortness of breath, an irregular heartbeat, or muscle cramps from coming into contact with any electrical currents, pick up the phone and call 911. You might be embarrassed, but it’s a small price to ensure your partner will live to play another day—it’s just something every BDSM player must be prepared to do.

How To Clean E-Stim Products?

Never attempt to wash electro play sex toys without first consulting their manufacturer-recommended cleaning instructions. Failure to do so can permanently damage your e-stim device, possibly making it unsafe or dangerous to use or accidentally exposing your partner to toxic chemicals. If you cannot find info on cleaning your electro sex toy, contact the site or store you bought it from instead of trying to do it yourself to see what they suggest.

Then and only then should you think about washing your e stim device. However, that doesn’t mean you should use a lot of soap or too hot water. As with most BDSM toys, use a bare minimum and only sex toy cleaner or mild, antibacterial soap. If your electrostimulation toy has exposed contacts, make sure they don’t get wet, and if they do, be sure and dry them thoroughly. For more tips, read our full guide on how to clean sex toys here.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How Does Electro Shock Sex Toys Work?

E-stim products use low voltage or current from an internal battery or an outside power source, like from a standard wall outlet, to generate several different sensations. Electrostatic units, which include violet wands, have been likened to receiving an intense tingling shock. TENS units can be less shocking, like a deep, muscle-contracting beat or pulse. E stim products can also enhance other toys, like cock rings, a butt plug, urethral sound, or others to increase sensation play possibilities and spice things up [2].

How To Store E-Stim Products

The most effective way to store e-stim sex toys is so they won’t be exposed to excessive heat, cold, or moisture. Of those, moisture can be the most damaging as it can damage metal components, electronics, or contacts. I’ve found that keeping E stim devices in a sealed box in a closet or under a bed will ensure they won’t get cold, hot, or wet. More about storing your electro sex toys in this guide.

How To Make Electrosex Toys?

Under no circumstances should you ever attempt to make electro stim sex toys. I cannot emphasize this enough, as it requires a massive amount of expert training, professional expertise, and decades of hands-on experience. If you’re persistent in making a BDSM toy at home, check some of the semi-safe ideas for DIY BDSM toys here instead.

Do Electro Sex Toys Hurt?

The question of whether or not e-stim sex toys can be painful has a lot to do with what model or type is being used, what part of the body it’s applied to, how sensitive or not the person on the receiving end is, and what power levels the electro stimulation toy is set to [1]. But if the thought of getting electrocuted scares you a bit, there’s no shame in that. You can instead try some impact play first like BDSM canes and floggers. And once you feel confident with your pain tolerance, then you can give electro stimulation sex toys a chance.

You can find the best BDSM canes and BDSM floggers we ranked by clicking their respective guides.

Are E-Stim Products Safe?

Yes. When used correctly by thoroughly educated, experienced, and well-informed experts, e-stim sex toys can be used safely [1]. Though it’s important to understand, even highly skilled practitioners have been known to make mistakes- sometimes bad things happen even when everything’s done correctly- so always be ready to ask for help at a moment’s notice.
