Your magical guide to wand play

Wand style sex toys are one of the most popular styles of vibrators on the market today, and are also one of the most diverse when it comes to how you can use them and what they can do for your pleasure. While they were originally designed for massaging sore and tired muscles, like most things in this world, humans found a sexy use for them as well, and now almost every toy company in the world has one on their product list.

From big to small, to waterproof and brimming with accessories, there's a wand out there to suit you and your body and needs.

Choose Your Style

While almost every wand out there is a powerful beast, some are more powerful than others and, depending on how, where, and why you want to use it, there will be a version to suit you. They come in every type of power source, batteries, rechargeable, and plug into the wall, and, as a rule, the plug into the wall ones are the most powerful. They usually come with very long cords so as not to restrict the "where" you play, but for obvious reasons, there are some places a plug in toy just won't fly. In the bath for example (please, please don't ever put an electric ANYTHING into the bath with you) or, if you do a lot of international travel, they're often not compatible with the power sources in other countries, and not just because of the plug shape attachment. I have heard a few stories of touring sex workers using American Hitachi Wands in Australian power points, and vice versa, and blowing out the circuits because of the difference in voltage power).

For water and bath play a few companies make waterproof wands which are usually rechargeable and fully enclosed in silicone so as not to water damage the internal mechanisms. They usually come with a speed dial that takes it from go to woah, however more and more modern companies are also adding extra pulse and buzz settings so you can change it up and have a variety of ways to play.

Big Buzz-ness

Wands are powerful. They kind of have to be to get right into, and loosen, those sore, tight muscles, but, especially with the original wand styles, they are also designed in a way that spreads the vibration out over a large surface area (like your back muscles or shoulder blades). For people who enjoy good, strong clitoral vibration, but can't quite handle the pinpoint nature of a strong bullet or other type of toy, a wand is a really great solution to that. It can be used both directly on the body, or over the top of clothes to further distance the direct touch, and can give you a powerful buzz, without the teeth-hurting sensitivity of direct vibration to a sensitive clitoris. 

Accessorise It!

While wands are excellent for out of the body play, for the most part they're not really designed for internal use, but that can all be fixed with a few custom accessories that can be bought for almost any wand. These are basically dildos and butt plugs, and double penetration type attachments that slip over the wand head like a cap and then turn it into whatever you want it to be! Many companies sell their own specific attachments for their toys, but you can also find find generic ones that will fit over most common wand head shapes. It's basically like having an entire toy box in one toy!

Kink It Up

So many kinks and quirks can incorporate a wand toy into its playtime activities, and it doesn't matter if you're on the Dom or sub side, there's a way to play that can suit anyone's needs!

Running a wand over a body clad in tight latex is an incredible sensation. The powerful, rumbly vibrations travel along and through the material creating all over tingles and tickles. 

If you're into stuff like forced orgasms, a well placed wand, tied against a bound body is a proven recipe for squirmy, delicious multiple orgasms.

Diaper play is another kink often associated with wands, with a powerful buzz over a soaked pad doing all sorts of exciting and buzzy things to the inside of one's pants.

Not Just For Vaginas

If you have a penis you really don't have to miss out on all the fun. There are some really cool ways you can use a wand to stimulate dicks and balls and butts, as well as all the other bits. A really popular way to use it, and this has been told to me by both cis men and trans women, is to have it pushed (gently or harder, it all depends on the person and the penis) against the perineum while also (for some people) having the penis played with at the same time. 

When it comes to trans bodies, I have been told that, because of the deeper rumbles, as well as the broad surface area, when played with (especially over underwear or clothes) it feels like a whole new area between their legs and can really help some people with the body dysmorphia they may experience, especially when it comes to their genitals and sex. With the trans sex technique called "muffing" (in very basic terms, it's a sort of fingering and rubbing of the hollows inside the body between the testicles) smaller wands can be amazing to incorporate into that, while also, like above, helping combat shame and body dysmorphia.

So whether you're a kinky, nappy clad, forced orgamser, or just someone who wants a good buzz and an all over body massage, a wand is an absolute must for any toy box or sex drawer. You should always be able to find one in your price range and for the playtime you want

As always, I suggest you buy in store so you can get a proper look and feel of how it works and it's power and range etc, as well as getting some proper advice on how to use it, clean it, and store it properly. 

Until next time,
Happy buzzing, my friends!
