Did you know that the first-ever wand vibrators were never meant to be sex toys? The first wands were released in the 1960s and marketed as neck massagers, like our modern-day Theragun. Over time, however, women discovered the sheer power these wands held and decided to give them another key purpose: masturbation. Since then, Magic Wand has grabbed the reins and marketed the wand vibrator as we know it today. Why does this matter? Recently, my lover got hit by a car, which came with two surprises. One, great sex is still possible with a broken shoulder. And two, having great sex is amazing, but ignoring your limited abilities due to injury will result in deeply unpleasant pain. Now, I don’t have a Theragun, but I do have an entire shelf and drawer full of sex toys. Specifically, wand vibrators, so we took them for a spin. First, for sex, and second, for soothing his body. Here’s what worked.
With that said, this is not medical advice. This article is to help you prioritize your orgasms and provide relief from tightness, tension, and knots. Reason being sexual wellness and physical wellness are both essential elements of your overall wellness routine. As a 2024 study stated, “a positive perspective on sexual health and highlighting its benefits should be regarded as an important component of the effort to improve overall health and well-being for everyone.” So, don’t ditch your doctor’s advice for a wand vibrator. Instead, combine the two for at-home support and orgasms that rock your entire world.
The wand vibrator that started it all—well, technically. The Magic Wand personal massager is the OG wand vibrator, created after the Hitachi Magic Wand accidentally became a sex toy. Vibratex has since taken over, and I can confirm that this toy feels significantly stronger than any wand vibrator out there, including the others on this list.
I can personally attest to this being the strongest wand I’ve ever tried. The vibrations are so intense that I came in under 60 seconds (I timed it). To test, we used the wand as a massager on each other as foreplay. We gave each other body massages, but avoided erogenous zones to tease each other. For example, rubbing each other’s backs but avoiding my nipples. We put the wand on its highest setting and used it down there, but over my undergarments, since it is known to be insanely strong. I can confirm I’ve had the quickest orgasm I’ve ever enjoyed in my life, and it was such a loud rise into a big O. Just when I thought it was done, I rolled over to please my partner, but my clit was still throbbing from the wand’s intense vibrations, and I had a second orgasm that felt more gradual. It was the kind of orgasm that makes you audibly question whether it’s really happening because it feels so good, but it was so unexpected. I highly recommend this toy for that very reason.
The size of this thing at first glance might turn you off, but it actually makes body massages easier. Given that it was first created for neck massages, the flexible head and long handle help you get deep in trouble spots that feel tight. Holding the wand from its farthest end (opposite the wand’s head), it’ll feel more comfortable and vibrate your arm less.
You can use the toy directly on areas you’re experiencing tightness, tension, and knots. When I say directly, think of holding a microphone directly to your mouth. Or, you can use the toy on your wider body for an average massage by rubbing the wand’s sides across your body. The best setting to use for this is the highest, which will turn on all three green lights on the Magic Wand.
Now, if you’re wondering why this won best of over the Magic Wand with a cord, just know that I couldn’t in good conscience recommend a sex toy that requires you to put a towel over your clit because it’s that strong. If that intrigues you rather than terrifies you, buy the Magic Wand with a cord. If that terrifies you, let’s get back to the submersible and cordless wand we’ve ranked as #1.
You’ll get two and a half hours of use with this wand, and honestly, even though this is the toned-down model, it will still pack a serious punch. Out of every wand on this list, this is the most powerful, and ironically, the largest toy. Price-wise, it’s a bit more expensive than the We-Vibe Wand 2 and Dame Com, so if power is most important, go for this one—the OG. It’s also on sale, so you can purchase it on Amazon for a discount.
The short version? Not a single wand vibrator we’ve tested has come close to the Magic Wand’s strength.
We-Vibe’s Wand 2 has several perks—coming from someone who owns one and bought it with her own money. My favorite perk? It doesn’t start vibrating until it touches your body. It’s called Smart Silence Tech, and it’s meant to keep your wand vibrator as quiet as possible during play. It works by only turning on when in contact with skin. It also makes edging, aka waiting for permission to nut, all the more intense because you can’t force it to turn on when not touching your body. You just have to wait for your partner’s permission to be pleased again.
The rumbles are deeeep with this wand vibe. Not as strong as the OG Magic Wand, but strong enough, and then some. There are 10+ vibration patterns and intensities for you to explore and make your favorite, from standard vibration to rumbly, pulsing patterns that will surprise you. If you don’t like surprises, the app might become your preferred way to use this, as you get a visual remote control versus just using the toy’s buttons. If you’re like my lover, this feature will be a favorite because you can further customize your experience in the app by drawing the perfect pattern. For example, up for higher intensity and down for lower intensity. Personally, I only like the app remote if someone’s navigating it for me while I sit back and enjoy the sensations.
As for full body care, the shape of the Wand 2 is great for reaching your shoulders and upper to mid-back. If you have limited mobility, the wand’s vibrating head is flexible, so don’t worry about reaching certain spots. It’s also quite large, which is great for covering more surface area, but it might be best to have your lover hold it for you if you have limited abilities. If that’s the case, go for Com’s ergonomic bend or Dex, the compact wand that doesn’t vibrate your entire arm. I’d vote this as best for wider massages, but not for directly targeting tension points, as the wand’s head is very wide. It’s also completely waterproof for water sports.
If you’re looking at the term “G-spot wand” and thinking those are supposed to be two separate things, prepare to have your mind blown. The ILY Wand by Je Joue is shaped to reach your G-spot and adds a warming feature, which is rare for wands.
This has 3 speeds and 7 intensity settings, so in comparison to competitors, this doesn’t have the widest range of vibrations. However, this wand is very flexible (the brand describes it as squishy, and we agree), so you can reach any spot, whether it’s literally inside of you or a kink in your back. The warming function reaches 101 degrees, which is amazing for temperature play. For example, if you love playing with candles and warm wax during sex, this is in the same ballpark, except you can safely put it inside of you. If you have trouble relaxing down there, the warming function helps you relax and open up.
Now, on your back? The combination of rumbles, flexibility, and warming is basically like having a thick extra finger that helps you release tension. It can help you reach those hard-to-reach spots that once felt impossible to work on. It’s best for massaging kinks behind your shoulder blade versus a wider back massage, though. It’s also easier to hold than the larger wands and the cheapest on this list! As for sex, this is the only one on this list that allows for penetration. It’s also the slimmest and most affordable. Internally, the toy’s contours sit right on your G-spot, which feels divine. The warming adds an extra sensation that feels both soothing and orgasmic.
If you’ve used other wand vibrators before, using Unbound’s Dex for the first time is an experience you won’t forget for one key reason: it actually just vibrates at the toy’s head versus violently vibrating your entire arm. If you’ve ever used a wand vibe, you know that the sheer power and speed of it can be felt in your arm while holding it. Personally, this is an issue as my hands are always cramped up from either typing for work or holding my phone. If this sounds like you, Dex will work well with your lifestyle.
Don’t confuse its size with its abilities, though. It’s compact yet very strong. You won’t get the sheer power of the Magic Wand, but you will get a solid orgasm that I personally double back to with or without my lover. This can be used for clitoral stimulation, just as any wand vibrator can be used. It was also great for massaging my lover’s shoulder blade and neck, given its strength. It’s stronger than the ILY Wand but doesn’t have that slim head for penetration and massaging knots.
I personally love using this during partnered and solo sex. Sometimes, we just use this on me, and that’s good enough because the reaction it gives me is top-tier for him. (Did you know that in a 2025 study of heterosexual couples who use sex toys together, female partners had higher levels of arousal, sexual satisfaction, and more intense orgasms?)
It’s also a good travel option as its compact size allows it to fit in your purse and carry-on, depending on your style. It does obviously look like a wand, however, so if discretion trumps all, skip this. Price-wise, I believe you’ll get the most bang for your budget with Dex. Not only is it $40 on a regular day, but Unbound is known for finding any excuse to give you a sale. For example, at the time of writing this, Dex is only $32.
Read my full review of the Unbound Dex.
Can I start by saying that this is the lightest wand of this size I’ve experienced yet? Com is a wand vibrator literally made for limited abilities. Instead of just a flexible head for reaching the right spot, the entire toy is shaped for reaching down there—with a flexible head. The Dame Com doesn’t have an excessive cord that remains attached as you go to town, and it’s waterproof so you can enjoy water sports.
It’s also easier to get direct stimulation with this than with the We-Vibe Wand 2, as the vibration head is smaller (in comparison) and firmer. You won’t get grip strain, aka the feeling of straining your hand as you grab something. This is highly overlooked, but it happens often, for example, feeling cramping or straining in your hand as you use your phone.
In total, it has 5 vibration patterns and intensity levels, giving you a few options for stimulation across full-body massaging and sex. The allure here is the shape, as the bend makes it easier to reach behind you; however, it’s admittedly not as strong as the Magic Wand, which would’ve made it perfect for many.
Since its release, however, Dame has leaned into a smaller version (noticing a trend?), the Min Mini Wand Vibrator. It’s a little more than half the size of the original and has the same key shape for ease of use.
Each of the products on this list was tested personally by me, your VICE sex and wellness writer. Most of these have been in my possession for over 3 years, for example, We-Vibe’s Wand 2, Je Joue’s ILY Wand, and Dame’s Com. Almost a year ago, I got my hands on Unbound’s Dex, and it sent me on a mission to find other wands that actually do what they say they will, like not vibrate my entire fucking arm instead of my clit.
After my own personal testing, I tried these out with my lover on his back and on my pleasure center. He also used each of these to help soothe his wide back and then massage out tighter, more pinpointed kinks. Some toys, like the ILY Wand, were best for pinpointing those kinks.
My newest addition is the waterproof and cordless Magic Wand. I have been eyeing the reviews for years now, and finally decided it was time to cop one. Let’s just say, I’m grateful the best was saved for last because it genuinely blew every other wand out of the water.
Given the state of the world, you likely don’t have insurance, which means you truly need to get creative with your health tools and at-home-relief. For example, if you have a knot in your back, you’re likely thinking of visiting the chiropractor or getting a massage. Both of which cost at least $100 for one use. Wand vibrators offer a more accessible, alternative route to massages and relief, while also delivering another integral function: orgasms.
That’s not to say you can cut out the doctor entirely. This is just an at-home measure that serves a dual purpose and has a real function for your lifestyle. Research supports the belief that sexual wellness is a key element in your overall wellness routine. Finding sex tools that serve essential functions in other areas of your life can be the difference between catching a cramp during sex and massaging it out versus having to make an awkward visit to urgent care.
Corded wands might seem antiquated, but they cut out several issues that corded sex toys have. To start, a sex toy with a cord immediately cuts out the “where TF is my sex toy charger” fiasco. If you’ve ever been there, you know that dozens of cords staring back at you in a tangled mess is a nightmare. And yes, this means that you’ll never lose charge. Sounds ideal? Go for the Original Magic Wand.
Cordless sex toys are likely what you’re used to, but as we stated, you will have to keep an eye on your toy’s charge, which can interrupt playtime. However, it’ll allow you to be more flexible with pleasure. You can bring these into the bath as they’re also waterproof. If this is your ideal, go for the cordless Magic Wand or choose another toy on this list.
The bottom line? Sex toys have more than one use. You can get yourself off or get some physical relief in. Now, if the prices are scaring you, here’s your cheat sheet.
If affordability is key, go for Dex and ILY Wand. If you need a Brookstone-level Theragun but at a budget, go for Unbound’s Dex. Unbound is known for having great deals, as well, so keep an eye out for those.
For limited abilities, Com is your best bet as its shape cuts out a lot of awkward maneuvering. Its lightweight is also a key feature as it won’t cause too much strain on your wrists.
If you need hi-tech vibes that are optimized for couples, We-Vibe’s Wand 2 is your new go-to.
When it comes to the Magic Wand, it’s going to give you an unforgettable experience. (Yes, that’s both in and outside of the bedroom.) You definitely won’t get its power from another toy, and according to both us and thousands of horny reviews, that might be best for your clit long-term. If you’re worried it might be too strong, use it over your clothes. Overall, any wand will help soothe your body and help massage out those kinks, but it’s up to you how much power is just right.
