What is a wand vibrator?
Originally created as a massage tool, a wand vibrator is a big vibrating device commonly used for masturbation and pleasure purposes. Also known as vibrating wands, wand vibrators are great for those who enjoy strong, powerful vibrations, as the big head of the toy creates mind blowing sensations. Wand vibrators are also best suited to those who like broad stimulation in a general area as opposed to pinpointed pleasure on one direct spot.
VUSH’s Majesty 2 wand vibrator is the perfect beginner’s vibrating wand, as it has 50 personalisable settings and uses waterproof technology to make it shower and bath friendly.
Why use a wand vibrator?
There are many, many benefits to using a vibrating wand. VUSH’s sexpert Steph has curated 5 top reasons to use a wand vibrator:
1. Clitoral stimulation
While everybody reacts to different types of stimulation, clit play is arguably the most important part of sex for vulva owners. This is because the clitoris is the pleasure centre of the body, and most people with vulvas require clitoral stimulation to orgasm. Wand vibrators offer powerful, deep, rumbly vibrations to the clitoris.
2. Broad stimulation
Wand vibrators are one of the best sex toys out there when it comes to providing broad pleasure to a wider area. The big head on a wand targets a larger surface area and more nerve endings compared to other clitoral vibrators that are more pinpointed. This is a great option for people who feel like direct, targeted stimulation is overwhelming for their body.
3. Use solo or with a partner
A wand vibrator is great for solo use, but the beauty of a clitoral sex toy like this is that it can easily be added into partnered sex. A powerful toy like a vibrating wand is a great addition when there is already a lot of stimulus going on — its strong settings are guaranteed to do the trick. The long handle makes it easy to add on during penetration or when combined with other types of sex. (We’ll share specific tips on how to use a wand vibrator with a partner later on.)
4. Different stimulation patterns & intensity levels
A vibrator is always a great sex toy choice because of the various different settings that you can choose from. Majesty 2 wand vibrator has 50 combinations of settings made up of 10 different modes and 5 intensities. Mix and match the modes and levels to find the perfect combination for you.
5. Suitable for all bodies
This type of vibrator is not just for vulva owners. Wondering how you use a wand vibrator on a penis owner? Try holding the wand against the perineum (A.K.A. the gooch), or the external anal opening for a prostate massage. Remember, this toy is quite powerful, so start on the lowest setting and see how it feels, as everyone’s sensitivity levels will be different.
A wand vibrator can come in handy even if you’re not in the mood for masturbation but looking for another form of stress relief. Vibrating wands can be used to soothe sore muscles in the neck or shoulders, lower back, quads, or anywhere that is holding a little extra tension! Vibrator and personal massager? Yes please!
How to use a wand vibrator
1. Relax the mind & body
The first step for any sex toy is to relax your entire body. It is really important to be in the right mental and physical state to have a truly pleasurable masturbation experience. Do whatever helps you relax, whether that be turning the lights off, finding a comfortable pillow and position, putting some music on, or doing a mini meditation first. Get into the zone and do some foreplay before you reach for your wand vibrator.
2. Lube up
Lube adds to absolutely every masturbation or partnered sex practice. Lube is especially helpful with a wand vibrator because of the size of the head and the surface area that is covered by the toy. Place some lube on both the head of the toy and the clitoris/chosen erogenous zone. We recommend using water based lube with a wand vibrator to avoid damaging the silicone material of the sex toy.
3. Turn on your wand vibrator
When you’re ready, turn the wand vibrator on by holding the power button for 3 seconds. Test the vibrations on your hand first to get a feel for the toy before moving to the genitals. Start on the lowest pleasure setting before moving up to explore other vibrations.
4. Find your right setting & intensity
Majesty 2 wand vibrator has 50 combinations of settings made up of 10 different modes and 5 intensities. Be patient when experimenting with different combinations of settings. Connect to your breath and use movement of your body to fully embody the rhythm of the vibrations. Find the right setting for what you need in the moment.
5. Get creative with positions, grips & locations
There are always fun ways to experiment with vibrators. Try different positions such as on your back, on all fours, or even standing. Don’t forget to try different sexy locations too! If your toy is waterproof, why not take your wand vibrator to the shower?
Switch up the way you’re holding the toy and try different grips, such as holding it close with lots of pressure if that’s your thing, or angling it on the side horizontally. If the power of a wand vibrator feels too strong for you, try using a barrier such as keeping your underwear on while using the toy, or try moving the vibrator further away from the clitoris.
6. Add a partner
There are many ways to use a wand vibrator during sex with a partner. Try mutual masturbation, where you use your vibrator and a partner touches themselves at the same time. Or, have the partner use it on you (don’t worry, the large surface area means they won’t miss the spot). Alternatively, try getting up close and personal and both using the wand simultaneously — the head may just be big enough for you to each use either side (especially if both partners have vulvas). If you want to add the wand vibrator externally during penetration, we recommend sex positions that don’t require close pelvic contact, such as doggy style or spooning with legs spread, so there is enough room for the vibrator to sit comfortably without getting in the way.
Cleaning and storing your wand vibrator
Clean your wand vibrator after each use. The best way to clean a vibrator is to rinse it with a gentle soap or spray it with a dedicated sex toy cleaning spray. Pat it dry with a clean towel or let it air dry on a clean surface. For more information on how to keep your sex toys clean, read our guide to cleaning your sex toys.
After cleaning your wand vibrator, make sure you store it away correctly. Rather than stuffing it under your bed or into a nearby drawer, store Majesty 2 in the soft storage case it comes in, or place your vibrator in a sex toy storage bag.
