The Best Wand Vibrators Are Worth the Buzz (2024)

The best wand vibrators are equal opportunity pleasure-providers, with bulbous heads and long handles that make them easy for every horny person to use—regardless of their anatomy.

The massagers have been enchanting people since the swinging '60s, when the Hitachi Magic Wand—the OG that helped give the entire category of sex toys its name—was released stateside. At the time, it was marketed as a general body massager for muscle pain, but curious minds quickly figured out that the deep, rumbly vibrations were also a hit for getting yourself off.

The Best Wand Vibrator, Overall: Magic Wand Rechargeable

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
Battery life: 3 hours
Vibration modes: 4

What Shoppers Like About It: The OG is still the best out there. “After trying most types of wands out there, I always find myself coming back to the Magic Wand for its strength, patterns, and reliability,” Dick Wound, a kink educator and cohost of the Off the Cuffs podcast, says. The vibe formerly known as the Hitachi Magic Wand was given a glow-up by Vibratex when the brand took over distribution of the toy, and the result was this rechargeable version that doesn't need to be hooked up to an outlet when you're cranking one out. It boasts the same power as the original, but features additional vibration settings for revving up to an org*sm.

Pros: Strong, rumbly vibrations; four vibration speeds and four patterns; can be used while charging, travel lock
Cons: Gets buzzier on higher speeds; gets loud on higher speeds; not waterproof

The Best Wand Vibrator for Beginners: Maude Spot

Materials: Silicone
Battery Life: 2 hours
Vibration modes: 5

What We Like About It: It’s just flexible and small enough to hit both the G- and P-spots, so it's fun for everyone. Maude's minimalist sex toys are popular for their discreet design and O-worthy performance. Plus, the ergonomic shape is ideal to grip for longer periods of time without your hand cramping up.

Pros: Easy to use; versatile for various people and bodies; sleek design makes it discreet if you accidentally leave it out, available in three different colors, latex free
Cons: More than five speeds would have been appreciated; not fully waterproof (though water resistance is a plus)

The Easiest-to-Hold Wand Vibrator: Gender X

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
Battery life: Not listed
Vibration modes: 8

What We Like About It: Wands tend to be bulkier and heavier than other types of vibes, so they're not always the easiest to use for people with chronic pain, mobility limitations, or strength issues. This one by Gender X, however, is intentionally designed to be super easy to hold, with a convenient looped handle and lightweight build. It has eight speeds and functions for you to choose from, and is fully waterproof, too.

Pros: Ergonomic looped handle; lightweight; eight speeds and functions; LED-lighted buttons; waterproof
Cons: May not be as strong as some users prefer; textured head may be too abrasive for some

The Best Plug-In Wand Vibrator: Magic Wand Plus

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
Battery life: Electric
Vibration modes: 4

What Shoppers Like About It: “I can org*sm fairly easily, back to back. But this thing takes org*sms to another level,” enthuses one Amazon reviewer. Another overhaul of Hitachi's Magic Wand, the Plus is electric like the original, but offers four speeds instead of two. This is great news for anyone who likes to start at a low speed and work their way up to an explosive finish.

Pros: Strong, rumbly vibrations; four vibration speeds; significantly cheaper than the other full-sized Magic Wands
Cons: Gets buzzier on higher speeds; gets loud on higher speeds; requires an electric outlet; no vibration patterns

The Best Luxury Wand Vibrator: Lelo Smart Wand 2

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
Battery life: 4 hours
Vibration modes: 10

What We Like About It: When I'm in the mood to use a wand vibrator and want to feel fancy, this is the one I grab. The sleek silicone and curved metallic handle look gorgeous together, and the vibrations are satisfyingly rumbly–it's the full package!

Pros: Strong, rumbly vibrations; lots of vibration settings; ergonomically-shaped handle; luxurious aesthetic; long battery life; waterproof; quiet
Cons: Expensive; some users report mechanical issues (although Lelo offers a warranty)

The Best Upgrade Plug-In Vibrating Wand: Doxy Die Cast

Material: Silicone (head), casted aluminum and titanium (body)
Battery life: Electric
Vibration Modes: Continuous speed progression (press and hold to incrementally turn up speed)

What Shoppers Like About It: “It’s super intense, but can be used through layers of clothing, or even through a duvet or pillow,” Leanne Yau, a polyamory educator and founder ofPoly Philia, says. With a price tag nearing $200, this wand is quite an investment, but its quality aluminum construction and extra-rumbly vibrations make it worth it. Being made of metal, though, this wand is one of the heaviest on this list, so it's best avoided if you don't want masturbation to feel like an arm workout.

Pros: Very powerful vibrations; double-weighted head for extra rumbliness; luxurious metal construction; LED-lighted buttons for easier use in the dark
Cons: Very heavy; initially cold to the touch; requires an electrical outlet; some users report mechanical issues

The Best Rechargeable Mini Wand Vibrator: PalmPower Recharge

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
Battery life: About 1 hour
Vibration Modes: one-touch incremental speed control

What Shoppers Like About It: This petite wand is “small but mighty,” Wound says, “and its size offers more precise stimulation over the larger head of the Magic Wand.” Rather than cycling through predetermined vibration settings, you can adjust the strength of this one incrementally by pressing and holding its button until the vibration reaches the exact intensity you're looking for, so it's great if you want to build your arousal little by little.

Pros: Powerful, rumbly vibrations; silicone cap is removable for cleaning; quiet; travel lock
Cons: Short battery life; only one button to control intensity

The Cutest-Looking Wand Vibrator: Fun Factory Vim

Material: Silicone
Battery life: 6 hours
Vibration Modes: 5

What We Like About It: The first time I used this toy, I came so hard that I had the wind knocked out of me and worried I might've woken up my roommate with my yell. German brand Fun Factory is known for making toys that look, well, fun. Their wand vibe is no exception: Its rounded buttons click satisfyingly with each press, and it features a unique swirled texture on its head and handle. But, even more importantly, its vibrations feel incredible.

Pros: Powerful, rumbly vibrations; fun aesthetic; ridged head holds onto lube better; travel lock function; buttons light up; very long battery life; quiet; available in two colors
Cons: Ridged head can be hard to clean

The Best Bluetooth Vibrator: Lovense Domi 2

Material: Silicone
Battery life: 5 hours
Vibration Modes: Incrementally adjustable

What We Like About It: For long-distance play, you can't go wrong with a Lovense toy. I've been in a long-distance relationship for over five years and Lovense toys are some of my favorites to incorporate into phone or FaceTime sex. This wand connects via Bluetooth to the Lovense app, which you can use to create your own vibration patterns, sync the vibrations to music and other sounds, and invite a far-away partner to take control. However, it's got such a pleasingly rumbly motor that it feels great even if you don't use any of those bells and whistles.

Pros: Powerful, rumbly vibrations; Bluetooth-compatible; can be used long-distance; long battery life; waterproof; petite
Cons: Can get loud on higher speeds

The Best Plug-In Mini Wand Vibrator: Bodywand Midnight

Material: ABS plastic (body) and thermoplastic elastomer (head)
Battery life: Electric
Vibration modes: Incrementally adjustable

What We Like About It: If you want an electric wand that fits plenty of power into a small package, the Bodywand Midnight is one of my favorites. It has a dial, rather than buttons, so you can adjust the vibrations to the exact level of intensity you're craving at that moment, and immediately dial it back if it gets to be too much. Its all-black aesthetic is pretty cool, too.

Pros: Powerful, somewhat rumbly vibrations; dial for more precise control over vibration intensity; relatively petite
Cons: Requires an electric outlet; gets buzzier on higher speeds; gets loud on higher speeds; ridged head can be hard to clean; porous head material can’t be fully sanitized

The Most Ergonomic Wand Vibrator: Dame Com

Material: Silicone
Battery life: 1 hour
Vibration modes: 5

What Shoppers Like About It: “Using other vibrators... can cause hypersensitivity or a loss of sensitivity for some, but this thing starts with a low, deep but soft rumble,” one Lovehoney reviewer wrote. “Even at higher levels, the vibrations are just slower, deeper and extremely enjoyable.” The curved handle of this wand may look odd, but it actually makes it super easy to hold this toy while massaging your neck, shoulders, or wherever else.

“As a person with mobility and chronic pain issues, wands offer me comfort by having a longer handle and not needing me to extend my arm as far as I would with a smaller, bullet-style vibe,” Wound says. The wand handle itself is definitely something you should take into consideration when shopping for one of these types of wand vibes.

Pros: Rumbly vibrations; five speeds and five patterns; ergonomically shaped handle; quiet; waterproof
Cons: Not as strong as some other wands; vibrations translate into the handle a fair bit; short battery life

The Best Warming Wand Vibrator: Svakom Emma Neo

Material: Silicone, ABS plastic, and metal
Battery life: 4 hours
Vibration modes: 5

What Shoppers Like About It: “I LOOOOOOOVE the Svakom Emma Neo,” Yau says. “It warms to my body temperature, which is a total game-changer in cold weather.” Who knew masturbation could be so cozy? This wand also has Bluetooth compatibility—connect it to the Svakom app on your phone and you can experiment with programmed vibration modes, sync the vibrations to music, or even invite a long-distance partner to control your vibe.

Pros: Five vibration speeds and six patterns; heating function; waterproof; long battery life; very petite
Cons: Relatively weak vibrations for a wand; gets buzzier on higher speeds

The Best Vibrating Wand with Attachments Included: Zalo Kyro

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
Battery life: 2 hours
Vibration modes: 6

What We Like About It: Attachments can make a wand much more versatile, narrowing its strong vibrations into slimmer shapes that can be used to precisely stimulate the G-spot, cl*tor*s, and other hotspots. When I was sent this wand to try, I loved experimenting with the different sensations it could provide, depending on whether I used it on its own or with one of the two attachments it comes with. It's pretty quiet and strong, too.

Pros: Strong, rumbly vibrations; six speeds and five patterns; comes with two optional attachments;
Cons: Penetrative attachment is awkwardly angled for using on yourself (it points almost straight up from the top of the wand’s head)

The Best Wand Attachment: Vixen Creations Gee Whiz

Material: Silicone

The Best Wand Mount: Wand Essentials Wand Assist Adjustable Wand Holder

Material: Metal and ABS plastic

What We Like About It: This is perfect for lazy masturbation, as well as for consensual kinky fun like “forced org*sm” play. I don't pull mine out all that often, but every time I do, I'm glad I own one. Because of how bulky and heavy wands can be, it's understandable if you don't always want to physically hold yours. This mount can clamp onto a flat surface, like the edge of your desk or your bed frame, and fits standard-sized wands.

Pros: Allows for hands-free use of wand vibes; easy and quick setup; adjustable angle and placement
Cons: Only works with standard-size wands; requires a slim and flat surface to clamp onto; doesn’t work as well with heavy wands

The Best Tiny Wand Vibrator: Magic Wand Micro

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
Battery life: Up to 3 hours
Vibration modes: 4

What We Like About It: This wand is giving "Honey, I shrunk the vibe!" and it's kind of adorable. The Micro is the smallest product in the Magic Wand lineup, and though it's not as earth-shatteringly strong as its bigger siblings, it's still plenty impressive for its size. It charges via USB-C, making it ultra-convenient to travel with, since you've probably got other devices that use the same charger. We've found that this tiny toy easily fits into a pocket or purse, and you can't say that about very many other wands.

Pros: Conveniently petite size; strong vibrations for its size; long battery life
Cons: Only three steady speeds; not waterproof; may not be as strong as some users prefer

The Best Wand Vibrator with a Squishy Head: Doxy Original

Material: Silicone, aluminum, and ABS plastic
Battery life: Electric
Vibration modes: Continuous speed progression

What Shoppers Like About It: One SheVibe reviewer wrote, “It's an incredibly well-designed vibrator and I consider it worth the high price. If you like wands, you will love the Doxy.” If you like to press vibrators firmly against your body for a more intense sensation, you may want to consider a wand with a head made of forgivingly squishy silicone like this one. With the Doxy, you can apply all the pressure you want without compromising on comfort. This wand is also astonishingly strong—which makes sense since it plugs directly into the wall—and has buttons that are easy to find and press, even in the dark.

Pros: Soft squishy head; extremely powerful and rumbly vibrations; LED-lit buttons; continuous speed progression (press and hold to incrementally turn up speed)
Cons: Large and heavy; requires an electrical outlet; some users report mechanical issues

The Best Double-Ended Wand Vibrator: BMS Enterprises Swan Wand

Material: Silicone
Battery life: Up to 8.5 hours
Vibration modes: Continuous speed progression

What We Like About It: This toy doesn't look like your typical wand; it's shaped more like a double-ended G-spot vibe, and indeed, you can use it that way. But once you turn it on, it becomes clear that the Swan Wand boasts just as much power as a standard wand, and can be used on external pleasure zones or for body massage, like any other wand. It's also worth noting that this wand's battery lasts over eight hours on a single charge, and we've found it can easily endure marathon sex sessions or some sexy weekend getaways without it running out of juice.

Pros: Very powerful and rumbly vibrations; double-ended design; two independently-controllable motors; continuous speed progression (press and hold to incrementally turn up speed); 7 vibration patterns; curved to hit the G-spot; travel lock function; waterproof
Cons: Controls can be confusing; vibrations conduct into your hand

The Best Penis Vibrator: Lovehoney Power Play 7 Function Male Massage Wand

Material: Silicone
Battery life: 90 minutes
Vibration modes: 7

What Shoppers Like About It: One Lovehoney reviewer wrote, “A fantastic go-to toy for either nice long edging sessions or quickies! Totally worth it.” Most wand vibrators are so powerful and broad that they work well on any anatomy, but if you want one specifically designed to wrap around the shaft of a penis, this one's worth considering. Apply some water-based lube and you can stroke this wand up and down like you're getting a vibrating handjob, or you can just hold it in one spot, such as on your frenulum, to build up to an intense finish.

Pros: Shaped to wrap around penis; strong and rumbly vibrations; travel lock function; waterproof
Cons: Only three steady speeds

The Best Waterproof Wand Vibrator: We-Vibe Wand

Material: Silicone
Battery life: Up to 2 hours
Vibration modes: Continuous speed progression

What Shoppers Like About It: “The vibration is absolutely unreal! It leaves you with a shaking breathless org*sm and a smile on your face,” one Lovehoney reviewer wrote. We-Vibe is known for its bestselling couple's vibrators, and like its peers, this wand is app-compatible, too, meaning it can be controlled near or far for long-distance fun. It comes with two different attachments, so you can experiment with varied sensations on different body parts, and it's fully waterproof.

Pros: Powerful vibrations; comes with two attachments; waterproof; Bluetooth-controllable; continuous speed progression; quiet
Cons: Some users find the controls confusing

The Best Wand Vibrator for Body Massage: Lovehoney Joy Roller

Material: Silicone
Battery life: One hour
Vibration modes: 9 vibration modes

What Shoppers Like About It: One Lovehoney reviewer raved, “We absolutely love this! Start with a vibrating massage and see where it takes you!” Wand vibrators also double as excellent tools for muscle massage, whether you're working rubdowns into foreplay or just using them to knead out aches and pains after a stressful day. This wand, which resembles a jade roller for facial massages, is particularly well-suited for that purpose. It's got two rotating balls for massage and the "handle" of this toy is also a vibrator that can be inserted vagin*lly for G-spot stimulation.

Pros: Rotating balls for muscle massage; vibrating shaft for G-spot stimulation; travel lock function
Cons: Loud; short battery life; not fully waterproof

The Best Rabbit Wand Vibrator: Happy Rabbit

Material: Silicone
Battery life: Up to 3 hours
Vibration modes: 10

What Shoppers Like About It: As one Lovehoney reviewer wrote, “Amazing sized ears, amazing power, and easy to incorporate into most positions!” If you're into rabbit vibes and wand silhouettes, Lovehoney has made a best of both worlds model for you that combines the best features of both. Powerful vibrations are conducted through a pair of fluttery rabbit ears for a tickly sensation that some people really enjoy. While mainly designed for cl*toral use, you can also try the ears around the nipples, the frenulum, the taint, and other sensitive erogenous zones.

Pros: Rabbit ears for a fluttery sensation; 10 vibration modes with three speeds each; waterproof; travel lock function
Cons: Some users may find it too weak

The Best Rideable Wand Mount: Liberator Wanda

Material: Polyurethane foam (core) and polyester (cover and liner)
Battery life: N/A

What Shoppers Like About It: "Nothing better for wand play. A must have for wand owners," one Amazon reviewer wrote. Conveniently, when you're done, you can zip off the Wanda's cover and throw it in the wash. Riding a vibrator can create very different sensations from just rubbing yourself against one, so to get the most out of your wand, you may want to pick up a rideable wand mount like this one. Just slip your (standard-sized) wand into the hole on the Wanda and climb aboard. This type of mount works well for solo play, but it really shines when you're having sex in the doggie-style position: it allows the receptive partner to grind against their vibe hands-free while getting penetrated.

Pros: Allows for easy hands-free wand usage; cover can be removed and machine-washed; moisture-proof inner liner; compatible with most standard-sized wands (including corded ones); high-density foam offers good support in various sex positions
Cons: Expensive for what it is

What are the benefits of using a wand vibe?

Sex educator Betty Dodson famously handed out wand vibes to the participants of her “Bodysex” masturbation workshops in the '70s. Since then, various studies have found that wand vibrators can be helpful in treating sexual dysfunction such as anorg*smia, or the inability to org*sm. The authors ofone such study explained the wand vibe’s usefulness by saying that its “very large head [is] designed for efficient transference of vibrations to the vulva and cl*toral region without causing soreness or irritation of the tissue.”

Indeed, the fact that a wand head covers so much real estate is likely a reason they’re so widely adored, not just for cl*toral stimulation but for penises, too. “I’ve surprisingly used a lot of sex toys specifically designed for penises and find they never really come close to the experience of using a wand,” saysWound. “I chalk this up to the superior sensation and controllability that wands offer by not needing [my penis] to be inserted in a toy, but rather, I can just move the toy to the spots I like best on my body.”

What to look for in a wand vibrator

In the 11+ years I’ve spent reviewing sex toys, I’ve tested dozens of different wand vibes, and I can tell you that they arenot all created equal. Here are some key considerations when you’re shopping for a wand.

Power source: Some wand vibes use disposable batteries, some are rechargeable, and some plug into the wall. Generally speaking, those that use disposable batteries have the weakest vibrations and are the lowest quality. Electric wands tend to be the most powerful, although these days there are plenty of mega-strong rechargeable wands that can give the electric ones a run for their money. If you tend to masturbat* or have sex near a power outlet, and if vibration strength is a priority for you, then you should consider plug-in electric wands, but if you prefer a little more mobility and don’t mind potentially sacrificing some power, go with a rechargeable option.

Vibration quality: Sex toy reviewers often makea distinction between “buzzy” and “rumbly” vibrations. If a toy is buzzy, its vibrations feel localized on the surface of the skin, have a higher-pitched sound to them, and are more likely to cause the temporary numbness that puts some people off vibrators. Rumbly toys, on the other hand, have lower-pitched vibrations that create deeper, more resonant sensations, and are less likely to numb you out.

Size: Wand vibes range in stature from teeny-tiny to longer than your forearm. The bigger ones tend to be more powerful, but their beefy dimensions can make them feel obtrusive if you’re, say, trying to slide one in between your body and your partner’s during sex. Go for a smaller wand if you’re mostly hoping to use it during missionary-position sex or any other situation where space is limited.

Weight: Because wand vibes are usually on the larger end of the sex toy spectrum, they also tend to be heavier than your average toy. This is especially worth considering if you struggle with chronic pain, hand strength issues or similar. “Personally, I always look at the weight of a wand vibrator [before buying it] because I don’t want to hold a heavy wand vibe for ages,” advisesRuby Rousson, asex worker and sex work advocate.

Comfort: Besides weight and size, there are a few other factors that affect how comfortable a wand is to hold, including its center of gravity, the shape and texture of its handle, and how much vibration transfers into the handle during use. “A powerful wand is useless if the entire thing shakes to the point where you numb your hand just from holding it,” warnsYau. This is another reason it can be a good idea to test out wands on your hand at a sex shop before purchasing one, if you can.

Ready to wander into the world of wands? Here are some expert-vetted wand vibes that’ll knock your proverbial socks off, as well as some accessories that’ll help you get even more value out of your wand.
