Blue Mini Magic wand - wand massager discontinued by Vibratex - review by lucymalfoy

This is a massager-style of vibrator, like the Hitachi Magic Wand, except in mini and battery operated form. It's definitely best suited for external use only. I used it successfully alone and with my partner, who also found it simple to operate.

This vibrator is made of a blue matte silicone -- odorless of course. Another benefit of silicone toys is they are nonporous! This toy wouldn't be safe to use with any silicone-based lubes. I liked the velvety soft texture of it, which was unique from my other toys. I did notice that this finish tended to attract dust somewhat -- definitely not as badly as jelly toys, but more than regular hard plastic would. This is most problematic when storing this toy in the little drawstring bag that it comes with, which is white velvet. A quick rinse and wipe down usually removes all the fuzzies from the bag.

The head of the massager part of the toy is ribbed. This didn't really enhance any feeling for me but was a pain. To be frank, these ridges often caught one's juices in them, which required some extra attention to cleaning after use. I have heard that some people take an old toothbrush to these ridges, but I was reluctant to use bristles on this material.

This toy fits really comfortably in my hand. There is a wand-type of handle to hold onto. I liked that the vibrations of the toy weren't buzzy enough that my hand went numb. I did not feel great about the bendiness of the neck where the head of the toy attached to the handle. Unfortunately, I felt like if I pressed the head too hard against myself, it would stay permanently bent.

It's definitely small enough to travel with, especially with the cute but discreet white pouch. Additionally, the vibrations themselves are pretty quiet and aren't very buzzy, which is what I find usually makes toys noisy.

The vibration strength of this toy were good but not great. It has six total vibration settings. The first three are just straight up vibration in increasing strength, with the next three some variation of pulsating or escalating. Honestly, I don't bother with anything but normal vibrations on multi-function vibrators, but I'm boring like that. The weakest of the vibration settings was not at all strong enough for me. The second strongest vibration could sometimes get me off, while the third one always could. Unfortunately, the vibrations aren't overall very strong, so it took a bit of pressure to make it happen, which goes back to my aforementioned worries about overbending the neck of the toy. I did notice that as with most vibes, the vibrations were strongest with fresh batteries. It takes two AAA batteries, by the way. I was very happy that the toy didn't run through batteries like mad. I was able to get a few sessions in between changing batteries. There is an indicator light on the function button that glows blue when the toy is in use, but I wish there was another light instead of just pathetically weak vibrations to indicate that the batteries are nearly dead.

The button itself is easy enough to understand. The single function button progresses you further through each of the six functions. To turn off the device, this button is to be held for two seconds, and it shuts off. I wish there was a quicker way to shut this toy off because sometimes I'd have sudden interruptions by apartment-mates walking near my room unexpectedly.

I don't think that this toy was designed to be waterproof. Even though the battery cap looks water tight, I'm not willing to try anything risky with it. It has worked fine so far with rinsing it under running water in the sink when I'm done playing.

To care for this toy, I just use antibacterial soap and water. After drying it carefully, I stored it in the drawstring bag that it came with. I also take the batteries out and store those in the carrying pouch between uses. Because of the velvet finish, I would not use any harsh cleaners or alcohol to clean this toy.

This vibe came in a clear plastic box. The plastic was pretty flimsy and thin but the toy was still secure inside, just not particularly safe to anything that could crush it. Because of the clear box, the packaging is definitely not at all discreet -- you can see the vibrator inside. A cute white velvet drawstring pouch comes with the vibrator. I tossed the plastic box and just use the velvet pouch to store the toy.

This is a fun toy and not a bad vibrator, just not my favorite. I definitely don't like the bendiness of the neck. Still, the vibrator is really nice quality, a gorgeous color, and silicone always makes me feel luxurious. Just wish the vibrations were more enjoyable.
