Best wand vibrators: 15 tried and tested buys for couples, solo fun and to use underwater

The best wand vibrators sit among the larger types of sex toys. Designed to stimulate external erogenous zones and the clitoris with powerful vibrations and large, flexible heads, they can be a big investment but one worth making for total body pleasure. 

Wand vibrators, which are sometimes called magic wand vibrators or massagers, are the original sex toy of the 70s. Their rise to fame came about through the invention of the Hitachi, a toy originally marketed for relieving tension and sore muscles in the neck and back. Sales soared in the early noughties when Sex and the City's Samantha Jones was seen using the familiar toy in an episode. Brands have been consistently innovating and producing their take on this highly versatile pleasure toy ever since.

Most wand vibrators resemble a microphone shape with a round, bulbous head and a flexible neck but there are so many to choose from today - everything from XXL vibrators with multiple interchangeable heads to simple, battery-operated toys. As the digital health editor at woman&home, I know the importance of having the best vibrator for you. A reliable companion for solo pleasure, foreplay, and use with your partner. Along with other members of the woman&home health team, I have tried and tested a whole range to create this list of top picks and help you find the best wand vibrator for you.

The quick list

The best wand vibrators, as tested by us

Best wand vibrator overall

The best wand vibrator is easy to use, made of soothingly soft materials, and packs vibrations from gentle hums to powerful pulses so you can get what you want every time you use the device. For the top spot, enter the Lelo Smart Wand 2, available in three distinct colours. This vibrator ranks top of the list for me thanks to all these qualities and more. 

Super-soft silicone covers the entire body of the device, apart from a small strip at the back, and makes the whole toy feel premium and pleasurable to handle. While it’s great to use with a partner as all wand vibrators are, it’s worth noting that the extra-long shaft on this one makes it easy to give yourself a massage without having to stretch and it can help target those harder-to-reach erogenous zones. 

Using this Lelo wand isn't too different from using a bullet vibrator, to be honest - it's just a little larger. There are 10 vibrating modes to choose from, navigated via two buttons on the shaft and, once the body wand massager is charged up, the intensity of some of these settings is incredible. I could tell the difference between the buzzing variations, which isn’t always the case with cheaper models. The bulbous head changes direction and intensity with ease thanks to the flexible neck too. So, if you’re looking for something to give you pleasure - and fast - this is it in my opinion. 

The Lelo Smart Wand 2 is definitely one of the best body wand vibrators I've tried. With a four-hour battery life as well, you really won’t want to go back to cheaper versions any time soon. Just be wary if you live with other people as this beast of a vibrator is noisy - so prepare for the bedroom to rattle in more ways than you might expect.

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, measuring just 101mm in length, it's a toy that measures just a little longer than your index finger. 

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 one of the best bullet vibrators with all the flexibility of a wand, this is the one to go for. There are still an impressive 20 functions to choose from, including three speeds and 17 different patterns, so you're bound to find something for you. The vibrator also charges easily via USB, much like our pick of the best, so no need to stock up on batteries. 

It's worth noting though, that as brilliant as this small vibrator is, it's far from the most powerful on our 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 found I had to keep it on the highest setting at all times to get good vibrations, so 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 luxury wand vibrator

The Satisfyer Double Wand-er is a wand vibrator that knocks almost every other one out of the park, apart from our pick of the best. Its mammoth size and weight won't be for everyone, so be sure to check the dimensions before you invest, but when it comes to powerful vibrations, versatility, and design, this toy is almost unmatched. 

This wand vibrator comes with interchangeable two heads: a classic bulb-shaped head that allows for traditional clitoris-focused stimulation, as you might expect from a wand vibrator, and a head designed for internal G-spot stimulation. The two are easy to swap in and out so you can go wherever your mood takes you. 

"I loved using this toy so much that I've actually cleared out most of my collection to make a permanent space for it. For me, strong vibrations are a must - what's the point otherwise? This vibrator delivers on this. Even the first-speed setting feels strong enough to take you over the edge," says our tester Donna. "The other head, which looks like it should belong on a rabbit vibrator more than anything else is a great addition and I use this one regularly. The head has ridges at the end of the dildo-shaped arm so you can get some dual G-spot and clitoral stimulation too, which I loved."

It might also surprise you to know that this is one of the most discreet vibrators on the list as well. While its intended function will be clear to those in the know, since the 'Satisfyer' brand is stamped on the outside of the toy, the smooth white colour paired with the transparent neck makes this wand look very much like a real back massager and it can be used as one too. This large wand vibrator is truly made for all-over body stimulation. 

The Satisfyer Double Wand-er is one of the best remote vibrators when you pair it with the Satisfyer app. On the app - provided you don't mind looking at your phone during your time with the vibe - you can choose from loads more vibration modes, create your programs, control the vibrations remotely (which is great for those who want to spice things up in the bedroom), and even chat online with others if that's your thing. 

There's only one downside to the device, says Donna. "I noticed that the white silicone marks more than some other toys I have. For example, I put the head down on my dresser to dry after cleaning it and obviously I'd dropped some foundation or similar on the dress as it picked up the colour immediately. I haven't been able to get the colour off since, so watch out where you store your vibrator." For more advice on how to store sex toys safely, read our guide.

Best budget wand vibrator

The Lovehoney 3-Speed Micro Magic Wand Vibrator is a budget-friendly buy at £19.99 - or less if it's in the sale - and perfect for those who are perhaps new to this type of sex toy and want to try before investing in a premium pick. It's still a great toy in its own right though, with three distinct speed settings and a flexible neck to help you find the spot that works best. 

I found it very simple to use with the small slider on the handle making it easy to notch up various intensity levels and the small size of the toy not only makes it a great choice for anyone put off by the larger wand vibratos, but it's more precise in its stimulation than others. It's also, thanks to the size, very easy to tuck away discreetly and store 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 but 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 quiet wand vibrator

The Wand by We-Vibe is an XXL choice with an ultra-flexible neck for added versatility and two attachments. It made the top pick for a quiet wand vibrator thanks to the Smart Silence function though, something I've found to be pretty unique to We-Vibe's excellent range of toys. The wand will only buzz when it comes in contact with the skin thanks to the clever sensor on the head that makes sure the vibes only begin when you want them to. For me, this is a great feature as it stops any unnecessary buzzing or louder vibrations that occur when the toy accidentally comes in contact with another surface. 

The two attachments that come with the toy add a layer of versatility that's not required to make this a great toy but it does offer something a bit different. One of the heads focuses on intense clitoral stimulation, while the other provides smooth, stroke-like stimulation. The vibrators with these are excellent even in the softer settings, I found, so they can help you climax very quickly should you want to. 

Other unique features of The Wand worth noting are the two controllable buttons. The usual two buttons most wand vibrators have to change the speed of the vibrations have been given a total upgrade and replaced by a joystick-like controller. You simply push the joystick either up or down, depending on whether you want to go faster or slower. Not only is this great if you have mobility issues in your hands or are using it in an awkward position with your partner, but it just makes you feel so much more in control. It’s a lot more seamless than other toys.

You’ll use the Wand by We-Vibe for many years to come, so it’s certainly worth your investment. However, in my experience, this one tends to sell out pretty quickly. Be quick if you see it on sale, especially as this is one of the best vibrators on Amazon.

Best rabbit wand vibrator

This clever design is a hybrid of a typical wand vibrator and rabbit vibrator with bunny ears where the bulbous head would normally be. This means you get targeted clitoral stimulation, which can help you prioritise your orgasm. If your normal go-to toy is one of the best rabbit vibrators, the Lovehoney Happy Rabbit Wand Massager is a great choice. 

The larger, tapered handle makes it easier to hold and move across all the different erogenous zones than many other typical rabbit vibrators, which are sometimes limited by the G-spot-stimulating dildo end. 

There are 10 different vibrations to cycle through and three different speeds, which is just enough to find one that works for you. However, our tester Donna said that even the lowest vibration settings are intense so you need to work your way up slowly.

Best powerful wand vibrator

With six levels of intensity available to users of the Satisfyer Planet Wand-er, it's the pick of the best wand vibrators for those who love (and we're talking LOVE) powerful vibrations. Even from the first level, it's intense, and there are 17 different vibration patterns to choose from. 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. [I have the blue version] and I love the colour, it's very different from a lot of other vibrators. The toy does feel heavy to hold and if you were using it for more than a couple of minutes, you'd get some kind of wrist strain as the head of the toy is heavier than the end of it. 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 floor of your bedroom where possible and because of the dark colour, you can see it," our tester says. 

Best thrusting wand vibrator

The INMI Ultra Thrust-Her Wand Massager offers something few other wand vibrators (apart from the Satisfyer Wand-er on this list) does - the chance for internal stimulation. Normally wand vibrators are made for clitoral stimulation, yet this one offers both internal and external stimulation in one toy without any need to swap out heads. 

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, which means 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, which is essential when you’re 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 wand vibrator for targeted orgasms

Lovehoney’s Desire Luxury Rechargeable Wand Vibrator looks more like an ice-cream cone than a wand, but it still has the right magic to help you achieve orgasm - fast. This is largely thanks to the added nub, which was included in the updated design of Lovehoney’s popular sex toy, and means it can really target clitoral stimulation. The cone-shaped design also makes it really easy to handle.

But, the main reason we’ve included this in our round-up and given it such high marks is the intensity of the vibrations it gives off. With eight vibration patterns and 12 speeds to choose from, this is ideal for those who want something ticklish and gentle one minute, and really powerful vibrations the next. The only downside is that it can be slightly tricky at times to slip between them when you’re in the middle of pleasure.

Fully waterproof, the Lovehoney Desire Luxury Rechargeable Wand Vibrator is easy to clean and can be stored in the complimentary storage pouch included. See our guide to how to clean a vibrator if you need a refresh. 

Best traditional wand vibrator

Le Wand Rechargeable Massager looks like a traditional wand vibrator (which is very similar to a microphone) except much, much bigger. This means you can easily grip the handle while working the vibrating head over every area of your body, making it one of the best wand vibrators on our list. And, if someone sees it in your house or bag, they may just think it’s a device to help relax tired and aching muscles.

Sleek and smooth, you’d expect something this size to be powerful, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. There are a staggering number of vibration patterns to choose from (20 to be precise), which is more than any other wand vibrator we tried and tested. 

At around 68dB at its loudest setting, the Le Wand is on the noisy side (this is about the same level as a standard conversation). But, it won’t go off unexpectedly in your bag thanks to the travel lock, which is just one of the reasons we think it’s one of the best available right now.

Not only can you use it for muscles and sweet spots, so you won’t get bored easily, but if you go for the Le Wand brand then you can keep adding to your collection and improving the toy you have. That’s because they sell textured silicone accessories which can be attached to the head of this toy to spice things up even further, instantly giving you a whole new way of using it.

Best lightweight wand vibrator

Find the idea of a heavy wand vibrator a little off-putting? Step forward, Kandid Wand Vibrator The Small One. At just 159g, this is a super lightweight pick, which is ideal if you like to use your wand vibrator for a lengthy time and don’t like to be weighed down. After all, you want to get in all the angles you desire, without having to worry about aching wrists or having to stop.

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 lightweight and simple to use with minimal buttons and a limited range of functions, I found this vibrator is also super quiet and offers delicate touches all the way through to heavy vibrations. Even the box it comes in features a pretty design that wouldn’t look out of place in a boutique.

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 mins at a time, it might be safer to look for a different option like the Lovehoney Ignite 20 Function Rechargeable Wand Vibrator. 

Best heated wand vibrator

When technology and sex toys combine, sometimes the results can be out of this world, and the Svakom Emma Neo Interactive App Controlled Warming Wand Vibrator is just that. This is why we voted it one of the best wand vibrators. Not only can it be controlled by an app (great for long distance love), but this must-buy wand vibrator comes with bunny ear attachments and can gently heat up for extra pleasure.

If you have already tried a remote vibrator such as the We-Vibe Sync, then you’ll already know how enjoyable the thought of someone else controlling your orgasm from a distance can be, even if it’s just from a different room in the house. Not only can you sync the vibes to music, but you can even connect the toy with a webcam if that's something you're interested in. 

Our tester really rated the warming function that heats the Svakom wand to 38°, which means you never have to worry about putting something cold on your body ever again. Amazing.

Best sustainable wand vibrator

From eco-conscious sex toy brand Love Not War, the KOI is a small but mighty wand vibrator that's perfect for travel and equally at home on our list of best sex toys for beginners as it is here. With seven vibration patterns and four intensity levels, it ranges from slow deep rumbles to intense quick vibrations so you’ll never get bored. 

Despite its petite size, it’s deceptively powerful. It’s great for clitoral stimulation but can also be used on tense muscles. Our tester found it particularly satisfying on neck muscles and the flexible head made it easy to manoeuvre. It’s made from waterproof, body-safe silicone so you can use it for shower play too. And, there's a handy travel lock so you never have to worry about it going off unexpectedly in your luggage (press the button firmly for six seconds to lock). Plus, it comes with a fabric storage pouch for safe-keeping.

Here at w&h HQ, we're big fans of Love Not War (check out our selection of clitoral vibrators to see some other top choices) and we admire its eco credentials. The sex toy brand's products are built to last, with repairable and recyclable batteries. If there is an issue with your toy, the brand will repair it for you, and if it's not repairable it will be recycled at its custom-built green-powered factory. What's more, the rechargeable battery is also compatible with other Love Not War toys so you can mix and match with other toy heads. 

The only downside to this wand, is that on the more intense vibration settings the handle shakes and can be quite uncomfortable and distracting in the throes of passion. Other than that, it's a powerful wand that will become your go-to travel buddy. 

Best ergonomic wand vibrator

Mantric's Rechargeable Wand Vibrator is a bestseller for a reason. The wand has a curved handle and flexible neck that makes it easier than ever to find your sweet spots. Our tester rated the ergonomic design, and thought it made this wand even more accessible for those with mobility issues who may find a flexible, curved handle easier to use. 

With seven vibration modes and five intensity levels, its rumbling sensations feel great on the clitoris, erogenous zones and on tense muscles. The silicone head is soft on skin, but is best used with a water-based lube. Our tester appreciated the LED panel on the side of the wand that changed colours as they cycled through the settings, meaning they could easily remember which vibration modes they enjoyed the most. 

Despite the helpful curved handle, our tester did notice that it vibrated quite a lot on the more intense vibration patterns which might be a total mood-killer and difficult to hold for some. However, in this case, it could be used hands-free with the support of a pillow or cushion. 

Best flexible wand vibrator

Another small but mighty mini wand with a rotating head that easily competes with the larger models on the market. . The free Lovense Remote app means your partner can still get in on playtime no matter where they are in the world. With a special long-distance setting, all you have to do is connect with your partner's smartphone and give up control. There's also a video call option for those who want to use it.

But, this mini wand isn't just for couples. It's equally fun for solo play, and thanks to the app, the vibe patterns are endless. You can use pre-programmed settings, discover patterns created by other Lovense users or create your own. Our tester also enjoyed that the Domi 2 could sync up with their favorite music for a totally different sensual experience. 

At just 234mm, this rechargeable wand is small enough for traveling and will fit easily into your carry-on, however, it doesn't come with a storage pouch. It's also worth noting the Domi 2 is only splashproof, so it cannot be submerged or used in the shower. It's an expensive toy, so it's important to consider if waterproof properties are a deal-breaker for you before you invest. 

If this toy is the one for you, you can use woman&home's Lovehoney discount codes to make a saving on your purchase.

How we tried and tested the best wand vibrators

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 when it comes to what works in the bedroom. "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 Svakom. 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 the best 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.
