Wand vibrators are the MVP of any sex toy collection. They are a staple for every serious sex toy collector. Why? Because they are sleek, reliable, and extremely powerful. Seriously, we cannot emphasize enough how powerful wand vibrators are.
Wand vibrators offer a unique, full clitoral experience. Since 70-90 percent of vulva-owning people require clitoral stimulation to experience an orgasm, this is a pretty incredible feature. A wand vibrator’s power is enough to shoot you right into outer sex-space.
But there is so much more to these toys than that. Here is everything you need to know about wand vibrators.
the history
of wand vibrators
Vibrators got their start in the 1900s, when they were marketed as personal massagers.
Yes, personal massagers- and they’re not wrong!
Wand vibrators are our darlings because they have been by our side since sexual tension was a fake medical condition referred to as “Hysteria”. While vibrators have been sold (again, as “personal massagers” lol) since the early 1900s, the 60s saw a new wave of sexual empowerment. With the dawn of the sexual revolution in the 1960s, the vibrator’s popularity had a rebirth and demand among women soared.
As people began taking control of their bodies, so too did they begin searching for better toys. The sexual revolution did not bring a change in design, but it did bring an amplification in demand.
the benefits of using a wand over
a smaller vibrator
Wands are for external use on the labia, clitoris, mons, and vaginal opening. The clitoris extends inside the body, under the labia and back towards the cervix. This is where you find the G-spot, A-spot, and O-Spot. These deep vaginal zones are just the internal legs and bulbs of the clitoris. While wands aren’t meant to directly stimulate internally, their deep, thuddy vibration can engage the entire clitoral structure from the outside. That’s how powerful they are!
an introduction to
each kind of wand:
pros and cons

- Doesn’t offer pinpointed stimulation (unless you buy some of our attachables, of course)
- External stimulation only - unless used with internal attachments
- Not water-submersible
- Super small and easy to travel with (it even comes with a travel lock to avoid awkward encounters with the TSA)
- 10 rumbly vibration speeds and 6 vibration patterns
- Super sleek and stylish look
- The lightweight design makes it easy to maneuver and stimulate other erogenous zones - such as the nipples, neck, or wherever else you want to explore on the body
- Body-safe silicone materials
- Cordless and USB rechargeable
- Shower-friendly
- Has a smaller head, which may not be ideal for all-over clit stimulation

- Compatible with the OG silicone attachments & texture covers
- Can’t be pulled away from the wall - which can make using with a partner a bit challenging. The cord is 8 feet so, this likely wouldn’t be an issue
- External stimulation only - unless used with internal attachments

how to use a
wand vibrator
Warm up first
When using a wand vibrator, you want to start off slow. Because they offer such powerful vibration, it’s best to warm up your body first. This is true whether you have a penis or a vulva. When using the vibrator on the vulva, start with the mons pubis. Run the wand up and down the inner thighs before gently teasing the labia. Once you’re full-aroused, you can touch the clitoris. Pay attention to your body and listen to it. Be patient and see what feels good.
For people with penises, you’ll want to take the same care. One of the beautiful things about a wand is that it can be used with all bodies. Start by running the wand over the stomach and thighs. When you get to their genital region, start by stimulating the perineum first - the area between the anus and scrotum. The thuddy vibration can indirectly stimulate the prostate, which can feel amazing. Communicate with each other and be willing to experiment with what feels good.
Be sure to get yourself some high-quality lube. Lube reduces friction, allowing for more pleasurable experiences. We recommend this natural water-based lube for wand play. Stick with water-based lubes because silicone-based lubes can damage silicone toys.
External play
You can use your wand toy all over the vulva, clitoris, scrotum, perineum, and penis. The deep sensations give you intense, profound pleasure that can be enjoyed by any person with any body parts.
To further enhance your play, you can also try our textured attachments. These offer unique sensations which can up the ante on your erotic adventures. Each is made of body-safe silicone, and all are washable, and help you connect to your wand toy on a whole new level.
Novelty is the stuff that keeps a sex life fiery, so be open to trying new things!
Internal play
Wand vibrators on their own are only for external use. While this may sound like a setback, we’ve hacked the whole system to make your wand toy a one-stop shop of total-body pleasure. How? With silicone wand attachments. The Curve, Ripple, Loop, and Shiatsu are all incredible and offer something totally unique.
The Curve is perfectly, well, curved to stimulate the G-spot. With its external nub, it gives you all the pinpointed clitoral stimulation you’d want from a smaller vibrator. Additionally, you can use this attachment on a penis owner for deep, intense prostate play. Learn more here.
The Ripple’s textured base allows for optimal G-spot combined with A-spot and external stimulation of the clitoris. This attachment is also great for P-spot stimulation. Learn more here.
Wands are for everyone. Seriously! Check out the Loop. This incredible attachment turns your wand into a masturbation sleeve or a cock ring, depending on what you’re interested in trying. Learn more here.
Bring all the beauty of a massage to your sexual play or work out the kinks in your sore muscles. The shiatsu is specially designed with four-pinpointed bulbs for deep tissue stimulation. It feels amazing everywhere, but it is especially intense on the perineum in all people. And remember when we said wands used to be called “personal massagers?” Well, with this attachment, you can make good on that claim. You know, if you want. Learn more here.
Hands-free play
A wand vibrator can also be used hands-free for another interesting erotic experience. For this, you may need a little help. Check out the Wanda Toy Mount. This toy is made from high-density foam.
This mount’s narrow body makes it the ideal accessory to support your body during solo play or with a partner. You can use it in so many different ways so don’t be afraid to get creative with it. You can straddle it sitting up, or bend over it like in doggy style. You can use it alone, as part of mutual masturbation, or in tandem with a partner.
The mount features a waterproof liner underneath and comes with a removable microfiber cover that's machine-washable for easy cleaning.
BDSM play
BDSM places a heavy emphasis on power-play. One partner willingly gives or receives control from the other. Wands are a great tool for kink because they’re so powerful. They’re ideal for edging, orgasm denial, and forced orgasm.
The dominant partner can use your wand on you (or visa versa) while you’re tied up, bringing you closer and closer to the point of orgasm, only to pull you back from the edge. If your partner has you helplessly bound or held down, they can use the wand on you to “force” an orgasm. All of this play should be completely consensual with boundaries discussed beforehand.

the best positions
for wand play
Missionary
Missionary takes on a whole new meaning when combined with a wand vibrator. Instead of having your partner lie directly against your body, have them sit up on their knees. This way they can enter you while you have room to sandwich the wand between you. The long base is perfect for this because you can be lying flat on your back with the toy still reaching your vulva.
If you’re practicing solo-play, you can lie on your back and hold the toy in place or gently rock your hips back and forth against it. Betty Dodson calls this the “Rock’n’Roll Technique”. Gravity adds extra natural stimulation to your already super powerful vibe.
Doggy style
Doggy style is great for wands because you have a lot of room under your body to place it comfortably. You can either hold it from the chest, or balance the base on the bed, rocking against it with one hand firmly in place.
You can also bring in your extra-luxe Wanda Toy Mount. You lean against the mounted vibration while your partner enters you from behind. But this position doesn’t require a partner. You can totally get after your clitoris all on your own.
Rider on Top
Rider on Top (aka: Cowgirl or Cowperson) is one of the optimal positions for clitoral stimulation. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really “do it” for everyone. To get the stimulation you need, grab the wand vibrator! You can have your partner hold the base against their chest so the head is against your clit or you can hold it upside down against your stomach. Be playful and experiment with it.
In this position you can also utilize the Loop attachment. Simply place the ring around the penis or dildo and go for a ride.

Keep the wand moving to avoid desensitization
While there is absolutely NO scientific evidence that vibrators are addictive, having too much vibration can cause temporary desensitization. Don’t be alarmed. It goes away. It’s kind of like when you sit on your foot for too long and it goes numb.
Because wand vibrators are so intense and strong, you need to keep this in mind while using it. If you start to feel a bit “numb” keep the wand moving. For instance, if you have it right on your clit, start moving the wand in circles around it or try stimulating a different part of your pleasure zone. You can also take a break and move the wand over your inner thighs and belly to keep erotic energy flowing while your clit gets a breather.
You can get some wands wet, but not all
Le Wand Petite is shower-friendly, however, Le Wand Original, FMP and Plug-in are all neither waterproof or splashproof. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience with our wands, check the Product FAQ on each product page for the specifications.
Wand vibrators are for external use
(when not used with attachments)Le Wand attachments were designed with the specific idea to make a wand vibrator versatile as an internal and external toy. Putting a wand head up your vagina may sound like a good idea, but it is not recommended.
How to clean your wand vibrator
To clean your wand toy, you can use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe the toy down. If the wand is shower-friendly, the area of use can be rinsed in warm water and allowed to air or pat dry. Steer clear of soaps that are highly fragrant as they can cause allergic reactions and skin irritation. Do not use any chemical cleaners on your sex toys: they can leave residue that can cause harm to both the toy and your vulva.
For an extra clean you can use a UV sterilizer. This uses ultraviolet light to kill bacteria. It’s the most effective and thorough method of cleaning. So if you’re type A, this might be the way to go for you. Check out our favorite UV Sterilizer Pouch here.
