15 Expert-Approved Wand Vibrators That’ll Hit All the Right Spots
If you’re well-versed in sex toys, you know that a wand vibrator is a must-have for your pleasure tool kit—and if you’re newer to the sex-essories scene, these microphone-shaped devices are a superb place to start. They might feel large and in charge, but unlike smaller toys that target one specific spot on the body, Shadeen Francis, LMFT, an AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF that wand vibes create “diffuse” pulses that spread out over a bigger area for a less overwhelming experience, especially in extra-sensitive places.
The best wand vibrators can be used for solo or partnered time and deliver deep, rumbling sensations that can feel seriously mind-blowing on external body parts. They’re really popular for using on the clitoris, but you can also try them on nipples, penises, butts, or anywhere else you want to feel a nice buzz. And BTW, you may see some wand vibes labeled as “personal massagers,” but not all massage devices are the same—a percussive one (like the Theragun) shouldn’t be used everywhere.

Magic Wand
Original
Pros: Powerful, durable, flexible neck
Cons: Bulky, not waterproof, a little noisyBest Overall: It’s impossible to talk about wand vibrators without mentioning this OG. Every expert we spoke to recommended the (formerly Hitatchi) Magic Wand, calling it “beloved” and “iconic.” “It’s known for having a powerful and high-quality motor that will last for years,” Indigo Stray Conger, LMFT, AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. Plus, it’s great if you’re looking for something that’s a little more discreet, she adds, since its color scheme and shape don’t scream “sexy.” Magic Wand also makes rechargeable models—but the original is corded, meaning it’ll never die on you in the middle of a session (so not cool).

Palm Power
Pocket Massager
Pros: Under $50, extremely petite, rechargeable
Cons: May not feel as intenseBest for Beginners: For a mini toy that’ll fit inside even the smallest nightstand, look no further than the Palm Power Pocket Massager, the most compact (and cheapest) wand on our list. At just 3.5 inches long, it easily fits in your hand. But despite its size, it still has an impressive array of speed settings. “Wands can feel intimidating to someone who has never used a sex toy before, so I recommend this as something that is a bit more approachable and discreet for beginners,” sex therapist Madeline Cooper, LCSW, tells SELF.

Magic Wand
Micro Rechargeable Wand Massager
Pros: Petite size, rechargeable, lighter than the original
Cons: Some reviewers say it’s not as powerful as the original corded wandBest for Travel: Maybe you’re already well-acquainted with the regular Magic Wand and don’t want to go anywhere without it. In that case, Rosara Torrisi, PhD, an AASECT-certified sex therapist and the founding director at the Long Island Institute of Sex Therapy, recommends the travel-friendly Micro version. It’s rechargeable (so you don’t have to worry about finding an outlet in your hotel) and measures 4.5 inches long, compared to the full size’s 12-inch design. Bonus: The Micro has three speed settings, compared to the Original’s two—its lowest setting is gentler than what the full-size offers.

Fun Factory
Manta
Pros: Rechargeable, reviewers love it for intensifying oral sex
Cons: Reviewers say it’s not intuitiveBest for a Penis: The Manta doesn’t look like the typical wand, but Francis says that’s because it’s designed specifically for use on a penis. Instead of a round head, this rechargeable toy has U-shaped silicone wings that can “grip a penis in a vibrating hug,” she explains. Hold it around the base during oral with a partner, use it as a stroker by moving it up and down the shaft, or do a mix of both while exploring its six pulse sequences and six intensity settings.

Goop Wellness
Double-Sided Wand Vibrator
Pros: Can be used internally too, rechargeable, sleek design
Cons: Some reviewers wish the vibrations were strongerMost Versatile: Want to keep your options open? This dual-ended vibe has a tennis ball-shaped head that can be used externally and a slim, tapered handle that’s ideal for penetration. “Both ends vibrate, so the point of the insertable side can also be used as a more precise clit stimulator!" Francis says. You also get your pick of eight pulse settings and a variety of speeds on each side.

Le Wand
Rechargeable Massage Wand Vibrator
Pros: Rechargeable, long run time, lots of settings
Cons: Reviewers say it’s heavy and noisyLe Wand’s rechargeable vibrator is another expert favorite. It has many of the same qualities that make the original Magic Wand so beloved—like a powerful motor and a large head—but with a sleeker body. “It feels like a little bit of luxury,” Francis says. While it’s on the pricey side, it offers 20 different vibration patterns and 10 intensity levels to choose from. Plus, this vibe has a substantial five-hour run time on a single charge (versus the Magic Wand’s three hours).

Le Wand
Petite Rechargeable Vibrating Body Massager
Pros: Rechargeable, travel-friendly, reviewers say it’s quiet
Cons: Some reviewers say it’s not as powerful as larger modelYou can switch things up every time you use this vibe, thanks to its 10 speed settings and six vibration patterns. It’s also on the smaller side, at 10 inches long—a happy medium between some of the tiny options on this list and the brand’s full-size, 13.5-inch model. The compact design makes it a little easier to travel with, but doesn’t “sacrifice the ‘oomf’ power,” says Francis. “Smaller wands also tend to be a better option for partnered play, as they are less likely to get in the way of places you or your lover might like to reach,” she adds.

Lovehoney
Deluxe Rechargeable Mini Massage Wand Vibrator
Pros: Rechargeable, waterproof, reviewers say it’s quiet,
Cons: Reviewers say ridges make it difficult to cleanAt 7.5 inches long, Lovehoney’s Deluxe Mini is “small but mighty,” Megan Fleming, MD, a psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. Its seven pulses and 10 speed settings provide plenty of variety, and its petite size makes it easier to use during sex with a partner. Reviewers also note that the small, simple design is less intimidating for beginners.

Satisfyer
Wand-er Woman Wand Vibrator
Pros: Curved design is good for larger bodies, rechargeable
Cons: Larger size might be harder to grip, on the heavier sideMany large, powerful wands cost over $100, but this one measures over a foot long and costs half the price, making it Dr. Torrisi’s top budget-friendly pick. “It has a bit of a curve, so it can get around a bigger body with more ease,” she says. Another perk: Your partner can use the Satisfyer Connect App to control the vibe and keep you on your toes.

Dame
Com External Wand Vibrator
Pros: Quiet, rechargeable, sleek design
Cons: On the bulkier sideDame’s Com Wand Vibrator has a more flexible neck than most standard wand vibes do, plus a curved handle to help you hit all the right spots. Its slightly-more-slender shape and silicone body make it safe to use internally, including for anal play, Conger says. The Com vibe is also a SELF staffer fave: One editor says this toy got her off “in mere minutes.” As a nice bonus, it’s compatible with a range of head covers and attachments (sold separately) that can change the device’s texture or shape (in order to target the G- and P-spots).

Ollie
Unbound High Powered Wand Vibe
Pros: Reviewers say it’s durable, rechargeable, waterproof
Cons: Some reviewers say it’s too intenseDr. Torrisi likes this wand because it’s “super light, playful, and straightforward.” It’s a cheery bright blue color and designed to last, according to one reviewer: “I first purchased Ollie back in February of 2020, and since then, she's survived four moves, three ex-boyfriends, shower/tub time, international travel, and it’s never let me down. Same strength as it was before and no issues in holding a charge,” they wrote.

The Natural Love Company
Cassia Dual-Ended and Curved Wand Vibrator
Pros: Rechargeable, waterproof
Cons: Reviewers say it could use more speed varietiesThis dual-ended vibrator can be used inside and out to maximize your pleasure—Conger points out that the curved side makes it easy to access your G-spot. It might look big, but reviewers say it works well during partner time, too. Plus, you can really fly under the radar while using the Cassia’s “gentle touch mode,” which is designed to be extra quiet and subtle.

By Bellesa
FlutterWand
Pros: Versatile, simulates oral sex, rechargeable
Cons: Reviewers say there’s a slight learning curveRather than a round ball on the end, this wand has a small “silicone tongue” that makes a flicking motion to mimic the feeling of oral sex. Just in case you want something other than the fluttering and sucking sensations, the other end is a slightly curved G-spot stimulator that can be used inside the vagina or against the clit. “This is great for anyone who wants an alternative to penetration and vibration stimulation only,” Conger says. As one reviewer put it: “I have no choice but to declare this a total slay.”

Lovehoney
Desire Luxury Rechargeable Wand Vibrator
Pros: Slim handle is easy to grip, flexible head, rechargeable
Cons: Reviewers say it’s longer and heavier than expectedA flexible head makes this wand “a great choice to use between bodies or in more acrobatic positions,” Javay-Frye Nekrasova, MEd, a certified sex educator at Lovehoney, tells SELF. Its super slim silicone handle is also easier to hold and glide around your body, compared to a thicker toy that might take more grip strength to maneuver.

Lelo
Smart Wand 2 Medium Personal Wand Massager
Pros: Easy to hold, quiet, rechargeable
Cons: Reviewers who tried the large version say this is weakerLelo is best known for its innovative sex toy designs (I mean, just look at the Enigma), but it sure knows how to make a basic vibrator, too. Reviewers say this smaller version of the Smart Wand 2 is the perfect size because it’s easy to use with a partner, but still delivers the strong, rumbly sensations that wand vibes are loved for.
