Featured imagePicked up a wand vibrator, huh? Nice! It’s not an exaggeration when we say your sex life is about to change! But how do you unlock all the joys of your wand vibrator? Don’t sweat it, our sexologist Rachel Sommer, is here with some easy-to-follow tips. Without further ado, let’s get straight into it.


What Is A Wand Vibrator?

A wand vibrator is a wand-shaped sex toy designed for external stimulation and known for its powerful vibrations. Its potency has a good track record of leading countless people to their first intense orgasms. With its wand-like shape and adjustable intensity levels, it provides a customizable experience suitable for newcomers and experienced users alike.

The Hitachi Magic Wand, known as a standout in the market, started its journey as a back massager. But it didn’t take long for folks to discover its rumbly vibrations had another, more exciting use to bring sexual pleasure other than being back and neck massagers. You might even stumble upon the ’70s version of the Hitachi in your grandmother’s house, labeled as a “post-exercise massager” on the packaging.

Now, there’s a whole bunch of wand-style vibrators out there, from handy battery-powered ones to eco-friendly rechargeable types, offering something for everyone’s needs and preferences.

 


Are They Safe To Use?

Even if they are dubbed as one of the most powerful vibrators, these wands are generally considered safe to use. A little know-how goes a long way for safe and enjoyable use.

First off, the material matters – look for a wand head made of body-safe silicone to avoid any irritation. Always keep it clean, before and after use, to dodge any bacteria buildup.

Now, onto the vibrations. Wand vibes are known for making strong vibrations, but that doesn’t mean you must use them at full blast. Start slow with this powerful toy in some erogenous zones first and work your way up to a level that brings you to mind-blowing sexual pleasure without causing discomfort.

If the power is just too strong for you, that’s okay. Here are some ideas on how to lessen the vibrations of a wand vibrator.

Cleaning and Preparation

Before you even think about using your wand vibrator, you need to wash it. Yes, even if it’s brand new, capiche? You never know what kind of germs and bacteria lurking on the surface. So, grab some warm water and mild soap, and give your wand massagers a good scrub. Rinse it thoroughly and let it air dry.

Make Sure It’s Fully Charged

Before you start using your wand vibrator, make sure it’s charged or securely plugged in. Imagine getting right to the peak of excitement and it just… stops. If your model is rechargeable, make sure it’s fully charged before use. If it needs to be plugged in, make sure the cord is securely connected to the toy and the outlet.

Test Your Toy First

Now that your vibrating wand is all clean and charged up, it’s a good idea to do a little test drive to get a good grasp of its powerful vibration. Before heading to more sexy areas, try it on your forearm to get a feel for the vibrations. This way, you can gauge how strong they are and how they feel against your skin.

Create a Setting and Get Into The Mood

Once you’re ready to use your vibrating wand, create a setting that will help you get into the mood. This could be anything from dimming the lights to putting on some sexy music. Whatever floats your boat. Take your time and enjoy the build-up.

Use Lube

Remember: lube is your best friend here. It makes things glide smoother and helps prevent any rubbing the wrong way. Just make sure the lube you pick is safe to use with your toy. Different materials can react differently to certain lubes. A quick look at what the manufacturer says can save you from a sticky situation and keep the good times rolling.

Start Slow On The Lowest Setting

When you’re ready to start using this powerful vibrator, it’s a smart move to start on the lowest power or its first setting. You don’t want to jump into high intensity right away and risk being uncomfortable or worse, in pain. You can always increase the intensity as you go. Take your time and explore what feels good.

Some Advanced Pro Tips

Using Attachments

Wand attachments can really amp up your wand vibrator experience. Imagine having an attachment that’s designed to hit the inner sweet spots perfectly, delivering intense pleasure. For those who prefer direct clitoral stimulation without too much power, there are attachments tailored for that too.

Attachments also give you the freedom to personalize your pleasure, offering versatility and a whole new dimension to your intimate moments with your wand vibrator. Whether you’re craving precise, targeted sensations or outside stimulation, these attachments have you covered, making your experience uniquely yours.

What’s cool is each one offers a unique feel, like a ribbed for a bit more intensity or a soft one for a gentler vibe. They’re super easy to use – just pop them on your wand’s head. And don’t worry, they’re usually made from body-safe materials, so you can try them out with total peace of mind.

 


Using It To Your Male Partner

Before you do, make sure you get your partner’s consent. One partner wanting to try things isn’t enough okay? Once you get that off the way, make sure your partner is comfortable and relaxed. You don’t want to jump right in and use it to his tense or sore muscles. Give him a neck massage with the wand to help relieve any tension. The wand’s long handle and rounded head make it the perfect neck massager.

You can also use the wand on his inner thighs, penis, perineum, or even his nipples. Don’t be afraid to get creative and try out different angles and positions.

 


Exploring Different Sex Positions

Try using the wand vibrator while lying on your back with a pillow under your hips. This position offers direct stimulation to your clitoris, making it a pleasurable choice for exploration. You can also try using clitoral stimulation toys during oral sex, anal stimulation, or while your partner penetrates you from behind.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for powerful G-spot vibrations, make sure to grab a necessary attachment and try inserting the attachment into your vaginal opening. This can be done while lying on your back with your legs spread, or while sitting on a chair with your legs apart. You can also use the vibrating wands during partnered sex for added sexual stimulation. Opt for positions that create enough room between you, like doggy style.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Properly Clean It

Before you start cleaning, see if your product can handle a splash. If it’s water-resistant, you’re all set to clean it with some mild soap and warm water. If not, just wipe it down gently with a slightly soapy, damp cloth, and be careful around any electrical parts.

When you’re ready to clean your wand vibrator, make sure it’s off and disconnected from a power source. Wipe off any visible mess with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, a sex toy cleaner is a great option. After your wand’s adventure, it’s a good idea to gently clean any personal areas it’s been in direct contact with, like your clitoris, using a soft cloth and some gentle soap. Keep it simple and safe!

Properly Store It

Alright, playtime’s over, and it’s time to tuck your wand vibrator away safely. Now, let’s make sure it’s all set for next time. Here are some tips to keep it clean and safe:

  • Always clean your wand vibrator after each use. What the manufacturer says is best, but soap and water generally do a good job. Just make sure it’s completely dry before you stash it away.
  • When you’re done with your vibrator, find a nice, out-of-the-way spot to store it. Think somewhere cool and dry, definitely not in direct sunlight – you don’t want it getting all messed up. I also recommend picking a spot where it won’t get jostled or banged up.
  • If your device comes with a storage bag or case, use it! This will help protect it from dust, dirt, and other debris.
  • If you’re storing your vibe with other sex toys, make sure they’re not touching each other. This way, you avoid any damage or them getting all mixed up. Think of it like keeping your gadgets in good shape – a little space between them can make a big difference.

Remember, taking care of your wand massager will help ensure it lasts for a long time and stays in good condition. Plus, you don’t want any surprises the next time you reach for it!

 


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are wand vibrators discreet?

In terms of packaging, wand vibrators are packaged discreetly, although they are not the most discreet device to have lying around. Physical features-wise, they are pretty big and industrial-looking. And in terms of how sensitive the vibrations are, the intensity differs from wand to wand. If you’re worried about someone hearing it from the next room, it depends on how much power the wand has.

Are they waterproof?

Not all wand vibrators are waterproof, but many on the market are. Every product should indicate whether or not the model is waterproof. Check it out before purchasing if you want to use your wand vibrators in the bath or shower.

Can a wand vibrator help me orgasm?

The straightforward answer is yes. Wand-style vibrators are your best friend in helping you orgasm because they pleasure the clitoris and other erogenous zones in your body. It is one of the tried and tested sex toys in letting women reach climax.

What lubricant should I use with them?

You should use a water-based lubricant. Silicone-based lubricants are a big no-no as they can deteriorate the silicone material. The safest option to go for is a water-based product only.

Can I insert a wand vibrator internally?

No. Wand vibrators are designed for external use and are not meant to be inserted into your vaginal opening. If you wish to use it internally for anal, prostate, or G-spot stimulation, you must buy an attachment head or a regular vibrator.

Where can I use a wand massager?

You can use your wand massager on more than one body part. Areas such as your breasts, arms, inner thighs, neck, and back are perfect places for a massage. The original Hitachi massage wand was designed for a full body massage, meaning it’s inherently double duty. Feel free to use it as a neck massager or a vibrator.

What should I look for when buying a model?

Everyone has different bodies, just as vibrators are made differently in terms of sizes, price points, and features. It’s all up to your preference when it comes to battery-powered or rechargeable, whether you want it to be waterproof or not. Or if you would like a portable one or an old-fashioned plug-in.
