Wand massagers: there are many different types of this sex toy available. Do you want to try a wand massager and are you curious which massager is the best choice for you? We gladly explain the different kinds of massagers and how to use them.

What is a wand massager?

A wand massager is a sex toy and massager in one. It is also called a wand vibrator. The original wand massager is the Hitachi Magic Wand. It was designed 40 years ago for massaging tense muscles, but soon women discovered that it can also be used for something else. Nowadays, these kinds of massage wands are specially designed for sexual gratification. There are both large and more compact versions available. You can even choose between wireless massagers and massagers with attached power cord. A wand massager looks like a large microphone: it has a long handle and a round head. The main advantage of this type of vibrator is that its powerful vibrations can also make women orgasm who normally find it very difficult to reach a climax.

There are a couple of well-known manufacturers who produce wand massagers, like Europe Magic Wand (the European version of the Hitachi Magic Wand), MyMagicWand, Doxy, Wanachi and Fairy.

Difference wand massager and regular vibrator

A regular vibrator is suitable for both external and internal stimulation while a wand massager is only suitable for external stimulation. This is the biggest difference between the two types of vibrator. However, it is still possible to use your wand vibrator for internal stimulation. You can do this by using a special attachment. With an attachment you can transform your massager into a suitable toy for stimulating your G-spot, anus or clitoris.

• The biggest difference between a vibrator and a wand massager is that you cannot use the latter for internal stimulation.
• However, you do have this possibility if you use a special attachment.

How do you choose a good wand massager?

Before you buy a wand massager, it’s wise to consider certain things. You can ask yourself the following questions:

• Where am I going to use the wand vibrator for?
• Is it important that it is wireless, for example because you like to take it with you when you travel, or do you prefer to plug it into the power socket next to the bed?
• In the case of a wireless vibrator: do you choose one that runs on batteries or do you prefer one that you can charge with a USB cable?
• Do you want to use the wand massager only for external stimulation, or do you also want to use it with attachments?
• Does it need to be waterproof?
• How many settings does your ideal vibrator have? Are you satisfied with a few vibration settings or do you want to be able to choose between at least twelve settings?
• Do you want to be able to replace the top part? In other words: does your massager need a replaceable silicone head?
• How much money would you like to spend on your toy?
• And finally: how big do you want your wand massager to be?

Based on your answers to the above questions, you can determine which features are important when purchasing your sex toy. For example, are you going to take the massager with you on a business trip or holiday, so you can use it to relax in the bath? Then a compact, waterproof massager that can be charged via USB cable is a good choice for you. Do you only use your massager at home in bed and do you have a power socket nearby? Then you can also go for a large massager with an attached power cord.

How do you use a wand massager?

A wand massager can be used in different ways.

During foreplay

It can be very arousing to use your massager during foreplay. The massager can stimulate your clitoris, but don’t forget your other sensitive spots either. The vibrations also feel great on your nipples for example. Try it on your partner as well. With the vibrations you can stimulate his nipples, scrotum and penis.

As a clitoris stimulator

You can also use the wand massager as a clitoral stimulator. Apply a little water-based lubricant before use. Set the massager to the lowest setting, you can always build up the vibrations if you wish. Stroke your labia with the massager. The most comfortable way to do this is by laying the handle on your stomach: then all you have to do is make little adjustments if needed. Spread your legs a little more each time. Do the vibrations feel good? Then you can also place the massager directly onto your clitoris. You can alternate between the different vibration speeds. The closer you get to your climax, the more intense you probably want the vibrations to be. There are even special attachments to make stimulating your clitoris feel even better, such as an attachment with bunny ears.

For your G-spot

With a special attachment it is possible to stimulate your G-spot. You need an attachment that fits your wand massager, so pay close attention to the size of the attachment. Apply some water-based lubricant and gently insert the attachment into your vagina. The powerful vibrations will stimulate your G-spot. Switch between the different settings to find out what works best for you.

Anal use of the wand massager

Your wand massager can also be used anally. This way women can enjoy anal stimulation and men can enjoy prostate stimulation. When using your wand massager for anal stimulation, you should never insert the head of the massager. Only use an attachment that is suitable for anal insertion, like Ripple by Nalone.

Cleaning your sex toy

After using your magic wand, it is of course important to clean it well. You can do this with lukewarm water and a special toy cleaner. This is a disinfecting cleaner that makes sure your sex toy is properly clean. Allow your wand massager to dry well afterwards. You can do this by laying it down to dry or by dabbing it dry with a lint-free cloth. By allowing it to dry properly you can prevent molds from growing on your toy.
