The 9 best wand vibrators for couples and solo fun, tried and tested by us

With bulbous hands and long handles, the best wand vibrators are easy to use and highly powerful, delivering total body pleasure.

Designed to stimulate the clitoris, vulva, and external erogenous zones with powerful buzzing or rumbling vibrations, they're among the best vibrators around. Originally branded as a 'personal massager', Hitachi launched the wand in 1968 and this simple-but-powerful toy been delighting people ever since.

Like many of the best sex toys, wand vibrators can be pricey, though - so before investing, it's important to find the best one for you. Luckily, we've taken the guesswork out of the equation and I, along with a panel of anonymous testers, have tried and tested a range of wand vibrators from top brands including Satisfyer, Lovehoney, Lelo and others. Factoring in ease of use, battery, charging, size, flexibility, and price point, these are the ones we deem the best of the best.

The best wand vibrators: the quick list

The best wand vibrators, tried and tested by us

The best wand vibrator overall

This premium wand vibrator from Lelo ranks in first place, thanks to its soothingly soft material, wide range of vibrations, ranging from gentle hums to powerful pulses, and its ease of use.

Using this Lelo wand isn't too different from using one of the best bullet vibrators, to be honest - it's just a little larger. There are 10 vibrating modes to choose from, navigated via two buttons on the shaft. Once the body wand massager is charged up, the intensity of some of these settings is incredible. You truly get what you pay for with this toy; I could really tell the difference between the buzzing variations, which isn’t always true with cheaper models.

Super-soft silicone covers the entire body of the device, apart from a small strip at the back which makes the whole toy feel premium and pleasurable to handle. Like other wand vibrators, it's great to use with a partner, but the extra-long shaft also means it's great for solo play too, as it can help target those harder-to-reach erogenous zones.

The best wand for broad stimulation

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is the second generation of the We-Vibe Wand and is an upgrade to an already-brilliant sex toy. With its premium material, wide head design, and manual-first navigation, this toy is particularly great for broader sensations and for targeting more than just the clitoris and other smaller erogenous zones.

"Compared to wand vibrators with a smaller head or a more pinpointed end, the We-Vibe Wand 2's wider surface area makes it great for using during foreplay and when you want to build up to orgasm slowly," our tester says. "The stimulation is more of a rumbling power than a vibration that you get with wands normally. I felt like I could actually feel the patterns on the higher settings rather than them just all blending into one continuous buzz." The neck is also fully flexible, so you can manoeuvre the toy to suit your body.

You'll also find this is a manual-first toy. In a world more obsessed with remote vibrators than ever before, our tester agreed with me that this was refreshing to see. While the toy does come with in-app controls, you can use buttons on the toy to navigate through the 10 speeds and 10 patterns available.

Best dual function wand vibrator

If you're looking for a sex toy that covers all bases, Satisfyer's Planet Wand-er ticks all the boxes with its two removable heads - one bulbous shape for massaging the clitoris and other external erogenous zones like a classic wand vibrator and one shaped like a large finger for internal massage. It also pairs with the Satisfyer Connect App, allowing remote control, the ability to set your own vibration patterns and the option to share audio and video with your partner.

It's a two-in-one device, so it works like two separate toys. "The heads are very easily changed out, even in the heat of the moment, and cover all the bases without having to invest in different toys," says our tester. "The vibrations are also quite intense, even from the first setting, and there are loads of patterns to choose from, although I've only ever got past the first five once or twice.

"I've gotten rid of half my sex toys since this one's come into my life."

However, it's worth noting this wand is considerably larger than some others on the list - "but don't let the hefty appearance put you off," says our tester. "This is my new favourite toy and it's worth the extra space it takes up in my mind. Appearance-wise, it's reminiscent of the classic 'massager', old-school style, so perhaps it would be easy to pass off as a recovery tool from exercise if someone found it accidentally."

Koi by Love Not War is the best wand vibrator alternative if you are put off by the Wand-er's dimensions though. At under 20cm in length, it's significantly smaller and you can buy extra heads for various types of internal and external stimulation.

Best mini wand vibrator

Looking for a small and discreet wand vibrator to slide into your bedside drawer or bathroom cabinet unnoticed? The Lovehoney Ignite 20 Function Rechargeable Wand Vibrator is the perfect choice. At 101mm in length, it's a toy that measures just a little longer than an index finger. It easily rivals some of the best clitoral stimulators, for a fraction of the price.

This does mean you have to use the toy with your fingers rather than holding the handle in your palm as you would do with the Lelo Smart Wand 2, but for those who want something even more akin to a bullet vibrators with all the flexibility of a wand, this is the one to go for. There are still an impressive 20 functions, including three speeds and 17 different patterns so you can find something for you. The vibrator also charges easily via USB, much like our pick of the best, so there's no need to stock up on batteries.

However, it's worth noting that this small vibrator is far less powerful than some others on this list. "This vibrator would be more of a toy for foreplay than the main event for me," says our tester Laura. "It's not very powerful. I had to keep it on the highest setting at all times to get good vibrations. I couldn't have any variation in speed. However, it's relatively budget-friendly compared to some of the other small wand vibrators I've had over the years and it does work well.

"I've never found the need for a travel lock but knowing there's one on the toy makes me feel more comfortable storing this sex toy."

Best powerful wand vibrator

Satisfyer is one of our favourite sex toy brands as it just offers so many choices. The Satisfyer Planet Wand-er earned a spot on our list, thanks to its impressive intensity levels, while still offering cable-free power.

With six intensity levels available, it's the pick of the best wand vibrators for those who really love powerful vibrations. Even from the first level, it's intense, and there are 17 different vibration patterns to try out. You can go from a heavy hum to rapid and powerful pulses in just a couple of seconds, while the flexible neck makes pinpointing the right angle easy every time.

"This is the most premium vibrator overall in my collection," says our tester Laura. "The silicone material feels so silky and soft underhand, making holding the toy a pleasure on its own."

Available in navy blue or black, Laura also liked how different it looks to typical pink or purple sex toys. "The toy does feel heavy to hold and if you were using it for more than a couple of minutes, you'd get some wrist strain as the head of the toy is heavier than the end of it," adds Laura. "But, to be honest, I don't think anyone is lasting that long [with this vibrator]."

Much like the Satisfyer Double Wand-er, the Planet Wand-er connects to the Satisfyer app where you can find almost hundreds more combinations to try, personalise your vibrator programs, give control over to your partner wherever they are in the world, and chat with others.

"My only issue with this vibrator is also one of the features I love about it. The material feels super soft but it does pick up dust and fluff easily, so I'd suggest keeping this toy off the bedroom floor where possible. Because of the dark colour, you can see it," our tester says.

The best quiet wand vibrator

Rumbling sensations and deep vibrations are all well and good but if your neighbour next door can hear them too, there's not much that can kill the mood faster. If being quiet and discreet is one of your top priorities, may we introduce the Love Not War Koi Wand Vibrator. This made my list of best wand vibrators for several reasons, but mainly it was the noise level, premium materials, and versatility.

Firstly, it's no exaggeration when I say this is perhaps the quietest vibrator I've ever used. If you couldn't feel it buzzing, you'd question whether it was on. I've had other Love Not War devices, including the Maya - which is a great choice if you're looking to know how to use a bullet vibrator - but this is certainly the most discreet.

The body of the Koi is made from a pleasing rose gold aluminium that initially feels cool to the touch, really bringing out a premium edge to this vibrator. The head of the wand is made from smooth silicone, much like other picks on our list of best wand vibrators.

I love how versatile this toy is. As noted, if you want a toy that has multiple functions - for example, works as a wand vibrator, a G-spot stimulator, and a clitoral vibrator - without the bulk of Satisfyer's Planet Wand-er - then this is a great choice. You can just buy the motor (which sits in the recycled aluminium handle) and complement it with your choice of heads, all available from the Love Not War store.

The best budget wand vibrator

The Lovehoney 3-Speed Micro Magic Wand Vibrator is so easy to use - it's ideal if you're new to sex toys and looking for one of the best sex toys for beginners. As the name suggests, there are only three settings to choose from, so you're limited - but I found this made the toy simple to navigate in the heat of the moment.

Despite its small size, it's relatively versatile with a flexible neck to help you find the spot that works best. It's also, thanks to the size, very easy to store discreetly between uses.

Unlike the other wand vibrators on this list, however, the Lovehoney 3-Speed Micro Magic Wand Vibrator is battery-operated. This keeps the cost of the toy down, making it the cheapest vibrator on our list, but it means you'll have to be on the lookout for low battery and be sure to keep some spares on hand when using this toy - there's nothing more annoying than the slow whir of a vibrator you were planning to use.

Best thrusting wand vibrator

The INMI Ultra Thrust-Her Wand Massager is another unique wand vibrator worth exploring if you want something different from your toy. This one offers internal and external stimulation in one toy without any need to swap out the heads. Much like the Satisfyer Triple Oh Wand Vibrator, you simply need to switch ends to reap the benefits of two toys in one.

There is a classic wand head on one end and a dildo-shaped toy on the other, designed to feel like the real deal by offering throbs and thrusts with vibrations. This makes it, in my opinion, the perfect accessory for solo play if you enjoy a little of everything in the bedroom.

To enjoy the extra thrusting setting (which is around 152mm long), you do have to make sacrifices on the wand side of the device. At 273mm, the INMI Ultra Thrust-Her Wand Massager isn’t quite as large as some of the other mega massagers, so it’s hard to reach the trickier parts of your body without the long handle. However, it’s great for seeing which sensations you prefer, which can help you make decisions on what sex toys should be in your arsenal going forward.

It’s not just the thrusting ability that helped give this wand vibrator a coveted place on our list. The phthalate-free silicone means it’s super soft - essential when using every inch of it. Be warned, though - the thrusting action can be intense when used inside, so our top tip is to make sure you have plenty of the best lube (water-based only) on standby.

Best quiet wand vibrator

Wand vibrators are some of the most-loved sex toys around. However, they can be quite noisy. For some, this makes a big difference, so it's a good idea to consider your own preferences for weight when buying a wand.

The Kandid Wand Vibrator (The Small One) has a low-frequency motor designed to give quiet rumblings rather than loud buzzes both against and away from the body, so it's supremely quiet when in use. If you use it under the covers, you'll find its even quieter - to the point where one of my testers had to check it was actually on.

At just 159g, it's also very lightweight and easy to handle. If you like to use your wand for a while, this is ideal as you won't feel 'weighed down' or risk wrist cramp.

But that’s not the only reason why Kandid’s Wand Vibrator The Small One made it into our picks. Everything about this choice is well thought out and designed to be one of the best sex toys for beginners. Not only is it quiet and lightweight with minimal buttons and a limited range of functions, but it's also surprisingly powerful, so you won't compromise on pleasure.

Just one downside is that it is only submersible and not fully waterproof so if you plan on using yours underwater for more than 30 minutes at a time, it might be safer to look for a different option like the Lovehoney Ignite 20 Function Rechargeable Wand Vibrator. That also means it can't be submerged in soapy water to be cleaned, though this is generally advised against anyway, in our guide on how to clean sex toys.

Testing the best wand vibrators

How we tested

When deciding on our selection of the best wand vibrators, we enlisted the help of two experts: Gigi Engle, ACS, certified sex educator, and Nadia Deen, a sex educator and multi-disciplinary product designer in the pleasure space. They suggested we test vibrators with a wide range of uses and features, highlighting a couple of factors for us to consider (as highlighted below) since everyone is different. "Unlike a smaller bullet vibrator, wands offer broader stimulation, meaning they cover a wider area, and therefore give you more chance of an orgasm," says Deen, who is also the founder of AM Appointment.

"Don't be afraid to get creative with what you like," adds Engle, who is also the author of All The F*cking Mistakes: a guide to sex, love, and life. "You can use it alone, as part of mutual masturbation, or in tandem with a partner."

Following this, we collected a selection from top brands, including Le Wand, Lovehoney, Lelo, We-Vibe, and Satisfyer. When testing, with the experts' comments in mind, we considered these key factors:

• Design: As noted, there are so many different designs of wand vibrators out there. We tested a selection but only the designs that were most beneficial made it onto our list. There's no point in having all the bells and whistles if the toy misses the point.
• Size: Smaller, lightweight, and portable wand vibrators are best if you plan to travel with your toy. Larger wands are more versatile but anything too bulky or awkward to handle could be a real mood killer so consider what size you're comfortable using.
• Power: Speaking of mood killers, no one wants a wand vibrator with a battery that's going to run out just as they're about to climax. We tested each vibrator to see how long the battery life lasts and how easy it was to charge.
• Added extras: The more attachments and functions = the more variety in the bedroom. Some people will want this while others won't, so we tested a variety of wand vibrators both with and without added extras.
• Price: The best wand vibrators aren't cheap. You can find an affordable body wand massager that gets the job done, however. Pricier options tend to be more tech-savvy and durable, lasting you many orgasms to come. We tested a range of vibrators at different price points to offer an option for every budget.

How to choose a wand vibrator for you

• Size and weight: This is perhaps the most important factor when buying one of the best wand vibrators. For instance, "a weighty design is ideal for intense, rumbly, and powerful stimulation," says Engle. However, something smaller and lighter will be better for more pinpointed vibes.
• Is it rechargeable? "Rechargeable vibes are fabulous because you can use a USB cable or charging cord to charge them, whereas, with battery-powered devices, you need to keep changing them every time it runs out of juice," says Engle. "Plug-in vibrators are considered the créme de le créme of power because they get an extra 'boost' of energy from the wall socket."
• Attachments: Some people prefer to have an armoury of attachments that complement their favourite sex toy, while others will want to keep their orgasms simple. "Some toys are available with wand attachments that can offer every kind of stimulation imaginable, turning the toy into multiple toys," the sex educator says. So, when choosing the best wand for you, consider which you'd prefer and perhaps try to find a middle ground if you can't decide.

The benefits of a wand vibrator

• More stimulation: The long wand-like base makes it easy to access the clitoris without having to reach down and adjust your toy too much. "The toys offer deep, rumbly external vibration to the person who wants or needs more base in their bump,” says Nadia. “Unlike a smaller bullet vibrator, wands offer broader stimulation, meaning they cover a wider area, and therefore give you more chance of an orgasm.”
• External toys: "They’re non-intrusive, not internal, and are not phallic shaped,” adds Nadia. “This means that they’re really great for all genders and genitalia, but also a perfect toy for people who have experienced some form of sexual trauma, genital mutilation, or have medical or physical problems (such as vaginismus), which causes pain during sex."
• Versatile: You can use them hands-free in lots of different positions. “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.” Gigi says.
• Accessible size: Don’t be turned off by the toy's typically large form. “With technology getting better at putting stronger motors into smaller items, it is possible to get smaller wands. However, the larger ones do have their benefits too. The bigger sizes make it easier for people with limited mobility to use and reach their erogenous zones," explains Nadia.
• Doubles as massager: Of course, you can also use them to massage aching muscles. “Use on your back or thighs after sports activities or place on your tummy as a great tension relief for period cramps,” adds Nadia.
