Wanachi mini - wand massager discontinued by Pipedream - review by Sunflowersutra

Like all wand massagers, it's designed to be used externally. Because this is a very small wand massager and a little different than the traditional Hitachi/Body/Fairy Wand heads, you can actually insert it vaginally or anally, but I wouldn't recommend it. It could be used on anyone, anywhere, because it is powerful, waterproof, and because the head is made of silicone, easy to clean.

The head (made of silicone) is very soft and pleasing to the touch. It's a little squishy and feels good anywhere you put it on your body, which makes it a lot of fun to use. However, the material was ultimately the downfall of this toy for me - although I didn't consider myself to be especially rough on it, the plastic around the neck tore after a month of average use. I tried putting some tape around the tear, but the material tore so easily it was a pretty futile effort. Once there's a hole in the neck, the toy is done. This is actually a fairly common problem with these, unfortunately.

The design is discreet and adorable - I loved the purple-pink color, and the small size makes it a nice intro to wand massagers for those who aren't ready to invest in something like a Hitachi/Body/Fairy Wand. But the lack of flexibility in the neck, again, led to the ultimate death of it.

The toy is simple to operate and in a common way to many toys; just twist the dial to get different levels of power. It's a pretty powerful vibrator (I give it 3.5-4 vrooms) and is very quiet; you won't hear it through a closed door. The downside to it though is that it's only the most powerful when the batteries are brand new. Batteries will last a while in this, but if you're like me, you'll notice the dip in power after the first use of new batteries.

It's pretty easy to care for - wipe it down with soap and water or toy cleaner and you're good to go. However, make sure the battery cap on the end is screwed on tight for use in the shower. Clean up is easy and it doesn't collect dust at all, unlike some jelly or TPR toys.

As an intro to wand massagers or vibrators in general, I think this is a great place to start. It's just not a long-term toy, which is so sad, because it would otherwise be the perfect starter toy. If you know you like wand massagers already, or need something that will last, I'd say skip this and go for any of the Fairy Minis.
