21 best wand vibrators according to experts and reviewers, because orgasms are basically self-care
Wand vibrators, harnessing over half-a-century of pleasure-inducing experience, are the OGs of the sex toy clan. And synonymous with that 70s sex-positive movement when women got ~creative~ with the famed Hitachi magic wand, magic wand vibrators also reign supreme as the most versatile vibrator variety out there.
Sonic wave clitoral vibrators may be epic, finger vibrators a solid choice for beginners during foreplay and rabbit vibrators ideal for serving up blended orgasms on tap – but wand vibrators are “known as the most powerful sex toy in the market compared to other handheld vibes,” Ann Summers' resident sex expert Hayley told us. And they trump all in terms of the freedom and experimentation options they offer.
It can be used to massage the clitoris or perineum during foreplay, it can be used for body massage, during sex – or, you can put it under your pillow and ride it. Aside from its versatility? The best wand vibrators serve up deep, rumbly vibrations of a lower frequency to the high-pitched, buzzy pulsations emitted by your bullet vibrator (which can leave you feeling numb). Enter: an orgasm in no-time at all, and an immeasurably intense sensation. In short: wand vibes are worthy of a spot in your bedside table collection.
Of course, the world of sex toys – be it aqua-friendly waterproof numbers or wand vibrator sex toys for couples – can be a tad overwhelming. So, our guide to bestselling wand vibrators should help you make the right choice.

What to look for in a wand vibrator
When shopping for your first wand vibrator, there are a few things to consider. Firstly: size. How big is it? Will you feel intimidated by a large massage wand – and might therefore prefer a sex toy which fits in the palm of your hand? Are you keen for a model that's large and powerful?
On that note, power is an important thing to consider – as is how many vibration patterns it has. Wand vibrators with plentiful vibration mode choice tend to be the most popular. Elsewhere, consider whether you can hold the wand comfortably and easily switch between settings during play, whether it's waterproof, whether it charges quickly and whether it's mains-powered or cordless. Mains-powered wand vibrators might leave you confined to the four edges of your bed frame.

What are the benefits of wand vibrators?
“Wand vibrators can be great for massaging the whole body to release tension and unlock erogenous zones for foreplay,” Satisfyer's resident sex toy expert told us. “If waterproof, the wand vibrators are great for warm baths or hot showers to release more tension in the body.”
Elsewhere, wand vibrators - or wand massagers - have larger motors than most other vibes do, which means they vibrate at lower frequencies. They produce rumbly, deep vibrations - as opposed to those high-pitched buzzy pulsations you might expect from a bullet vibrator which can leave you feeling numb. Rumbly vibrations of lower frequency are slightly paired-back but still super intense and high-quality, taking you from zero to orgasm in no time at all.
Thirdly, wand vibrators are designed for external use only, unlike g-spot vibrations, dildos or designs with bunny ears. They focus less on G-spot stimulation and more on the clitoris, and the fact they have a large head means they can stimulate a larger surface area. Think: your entire vulva. Since the clit is actually larger than many people realise, this larger tip can result in more powerful orgasms.
Lastly? Wand toys are easier to hold and manoeuvre with thanks to their steady handles and ergonomic design. This gives you more control over the sex toy and means you can use them to stimulate other parts of your - or your partner's - body. Think nipples, labia, testicles... Yep: they're a great sex toy for men, too.
The number of sex toy stores is burgeoning.
How to use a wand vibrator
As previously alluded to, the joy of the humble wand vibrator is in its versatility. First, “scroll through the functions and intensities levels first once fully charged to gauge what level on intensity you would be comfortable with, then with an Ann Summers lube, start to glide over those erogenous zones or use to help relieve your partners’ tired muscles with a sensual massage,” Hayley told us.
Then, use the magic wand for masturbation, to stimulate your clit or labia. “Try stimulating areas around the clitoris like the soft tissue above the pubic bone (aka mons pubis) or the labia majora, or perineal area just below the vulva," Megwyn said.
“Indirect contact can help transmit vibrations into the clitoris by passing through the soft tissue in a gentle way. This can build the intensity of anticipation similar to holding back touch but will also have a very grounding effect on the body.”
You could even put the wand on your pillow if you don't own a rideable toy.
Wand vibrators can also be used during partnered sex: pair your wand vibrator with the insertion of a penis for heightened penetration, or use it to level-up oral or anal sex. And yes - the rumours are true. Wand vibrators can also be used to alleviate sore muscles - as your massage gun does. Think of it as your own personal massager. That's what the iconic Original Magic Wand by Vibratex was originally meant for, and massage is a very underrated form of foreplay.
