Review: Mystic Wand

Mystic Wand at PinkCherry.com for $59.99

I have been putting off getting a wand-style massager for a while. The reigning champ was the Hitachi Magic Wand and it was u-g-l-y. It was huge, clunky, only had two settings and there were personal reasons for not really wanting one. Well, a few months ago Vibratex released the Mystic Wand. All of my worries dissolved. Especially when it became available in hot pink! PinkCherry.com was awesome enough to send me the pink one to review and I could not have been a happier camper.

First things first. This thing is far more visually appealing than any other wand-style vibrator available. It’s sleek and smooth and the handle is easy to wield. It’s made of a velvety plastic and molded with curves that fit the hand nicely. The buttons are easy to use. There’s a dedicated on/off button and a function button marked with a capital ‘F’. Turning it on takes you to the lowest steady vibration and turns on a purpley-blue light that lets you know it’s on. Pressing the ‘F’ button cycles through the various functions and each is indicated by a small light that changes with the settings. There are three steady vibrations (low, medium, high) a steady pulsing, a quick quick long pulse, and a roller coaster that builds from low to high. The vibrations are strong as hell. I start off on the lowest setting and if I use anything else it’s the roller coaster. I can’t handle the strength of the pulses.

The end of the toy has a firm silicone bulb. There are ripples around the center and the base of the head that are a bit squishier and flexible than the rest of it, but it stays put where it’s needed. This has pretty much become my go-to clitoral stimulator (and I own an Eroscillator, y’all.) I need a lot of wide pressure to get me off and this is absolutely perfect for the job. It’s small enough that it can be used in most sex positions. It can be used on the labia, clitoris, penis, balls, and perineum (but not in the butt). You can use it on the base of your favorite dildos and butt plugs to add some vibrations to them. It’s waterproof, so it can be used in the shower and tub. It’s light weight so it’s not going to tire your arm out. Even if it does, it can be used in completely non-sexual ways to relax sore muscles. The possibilities are endless.

The only thing I can think of that might be a problem for someone would be that it’s a little noisy. Not nearly as noisy as the Hitachi, which I’m told sounds like a freaking jack-hammer, but noisy enough that you might hear it if you share a room with anyone. You could probably slip off to a bathroom to use it though and you’d be fine. It’s also a bit of a nuisance to clean just because of the ridges. You’ll need to scrub it with an old tooth brush to clean out the grooves. Wash it off with an antibacterial soap and warm water. If you want to sanitize it a bit you can wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution. Storing it’s a breeze because it comes with it’s own white drawstring bag. Every toy should come with a storage bag.

I know you want one of your very own (if not pink, it comes in black too.) and you can pick it up at PinkCherry.com! They’ve got a selection of other wand-styled vibrators to choose from and a whole bunch of other sex toys as well.

Thanks PinkCherry.com!
