If you have ever used a massager wand before, you likely know some of your likes and dislikes when it comes to these popular sex toys. But if this is your first Magic Wand purchase, your field of options can seem overwhelming. What are the most popular features to look for? Are there other options you should consider before pressing the “buy” button?
What to Consider When Buying a Massager Wand
Above anything else, it is important to remember that everyone is different when it comes to personal sexual pleasure. You feel things in a way that is unique to you. Your turn-ons and turn-offs are also unique. Which sensations you like can differ widely from anyone else, too. Then, you also have your own fantasies. There are no absolute taboos, rights or wrongs when it comes to individual sexuality.
However, to narrow your choices in massager wands and find one that suits your distinct personality and desires, you can start with three key questions. These questions for comparing Magic Wand devices include:
- Is the device made by a reputable manufacturer using safe materials?
- How and where on your body do you want to use the massager wand?
- Which features are most important to you?
It is important to know that there are still sex wands and other adult toys on the market that are made of or contain unsafe materials. For example, you should avoid porous materials that can hold onto bacteria, even after cleaning. You also want to stay away from PVC plastic, phthalates and other toxic materials proven not body-safe. Instead, look for devices made with non-porous materials, body-safe silicone and ABS plastic, as examples.
Clitoral Stimulation is Key
If you are looking for clitoral stimulation, it is easy to find a massager wand to provide sexual satisfaction. But if you want stimulation of your G-spot, prostate or penis to achieve orgasm, you need to look for a device designed for these parts. Some wand massagers offer optional attachments like the Magic Wand Original’s G-Tip for G-spots. For the penis, look for attachments like the M-Gasm and for the prostate, the P-Spot. Few wands compare to the Magic Wand, when it comes to satisfaction of all genders and erogenous zones. Some are, in fact, made for women only.
Other features and attributes to consider are vibration and speed. Do you want deep, rumbling vibrations or surface buzzing? Many people find surface buzzing irritating or distracting from an orgasm. This makes understanding the vibrational quality of your chosen device important before purchase. Also, do you really care if the massager is a pretty color? Or, do you want one that delivers an orgasm every time but might look more utilitarian?
Specific Features to Consider Before Buying a Wand
As far as specific features of a wand, there are many options to choose from. Some of these key features include:
- Size, shape and weight of the device
- Massager ball size and shape
- Ball tip material
- Head flexibility
- Vibration pattern and multi-speed
- Noise level
- Power source – Electric vs. battery operated vs. rechargeable
- Waterproof or not waterproof
- Available attachments
- Warranty
- Price
Look for Body-Safe Materials
As said before, body-safe materials are important to note when buying a massager wand. For this reason, it helps to know which materials are safe and which to avoid.
Ideally, the massager wand head is constructed of body-safe silicone or medical-grade silicone. These materials are safe for skin contact and prove easy to clean. If the head is made of vinyl, ensure it is chlorine-free vinyl for its non-toxicity. For the wand’s body, you should look for ABS plastic or body-safe silicone, too.
Sometimes vinyl and other materials contain plasticizers. These chemicals can include chlorine or phthalates. For example, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) contains phthalates, lead, cadmium and organotins, all toxic to the human body. Overexposure to these toxins can cause hormone problems, liver problems, reproductive and fertility problems, and developmental issues for children. The vinyl chloride in PVC is a documented carcinogen.
Phthalates are connected to breast cancer and metabolic disorders. Phthalates also increase the risk of miscarriage. BPA used in some sex toys can lead to hormonal disorders, heart problems, cognitive problems and cancer. These are all obvious reasons to avoid wands made of cheap plastics and containing these toxins.
