Sex Toy Selection Guide Part 2: Vibrating Wands
At Erotiikan Aja, we value personal service and are happy to help you choose the right product. However, there are some things you should consider in advance to make your choice in our store as easy as possible. We have compiled these tips and things to consider in the Choosing Sex Toys post series, where this time we will explore the wonderfully wonderful world of vibrating wands.
Much more than a substitute
A vibrator wand is often thought of as a vibrating penis substitute. In many ways, this idea is narrow, because it is not a substitute in the first place. No sex toy necessarily has to replace anything, but toys can bring their own wonderful addition to your sex life. The wand also does not have to be inserted into any opening, but can provide pleasure in many ways.
The possibilities of using a vibrating wand are wide. Vibrator wands are suitable for use both in solo sex and together with a potential partner or partners.
Vibrating sticks for many uses
It is important to consider your own needs, as different features are best used in different ways. In addition to the vagina or butt, a vibrating wand can be used to caress the clitoris, penis shaft, testicles, and the entire body. For example, wand-style wands and other models with a strong vibration at the very tip of the shaft are best suited for clitoral stimulation.
Different materials, shapes, sizes and even vibration options all contribute to what kind of product you would like best.
Material matters
Vibrator wands are most often made of silicone, hard plastic, or jelly material.
Durable and comfortable silicone
Silicone is currently the most common and popular material. Its strength is the comfortable, smooth and soft surface of the material. The product itself is often flexible, but firm. However, flexibility varies even within products made from the same material. There are also toys where only the surface of the product is silicone and the body is, for example, hard plastic. This gives the product an inflexible body with a soft and comfortable surface material. Silicone products can therefore also have different properties.
Silicone is generally well tolerated as a material. Silicone allergy is very rare and products made from silicone do not contain, for example, latex. Silicone is also a durable and hygienic material. You will likely get joy and pleasure from a product made from silicone for a long time.
Currently, most of the USB-rechargeable vibrators in our store's selection have at least a silicone surface material.
Jelly for those who love a soft feel
Jelly material does not actually refer to a single material, but is an established name for a very flexible and soft sex toy material. Jelly products are often made of TPE or TPR material, which is a mixture of rubber and plastic. This creates a very flexible and comfortable product. Products made from jelly material are basically the softest. However, there are some differences between products.
Products made from jelly material are not recommended for people with rubber allergies due to the rubber contained in the material.
Currently, all vibrator wands made of jelly material in our store's selection are battery-operated.
Strong vibration with hard plastic toys
Hard plastic can be, for example, ABS plastic or acrylic. As the name suggests, it is a hard and inflexible material. This material is a good choice when you want a particularly rigid product. The surface of a hard plastic product is usually smooth and its sliding properties are therefore also excellent.
Another advantage of hard plastic is that the vibration is inherently stronger than in products made from softer materials, where the material dampens the vibration.
Most of the hard plastic products currently in our store's selection are battery-operated.
Sounds of pleasurable vibration
Especially families with children and those living with roommates often want a product that is as quiet as possible, so that their own peace is guaranteed (at least in this regard).
Fortunately, sex toys have become quieter over the years, but there are still differences between different products and materials in this regard.
Generally speaking, hard plastic products are often the loudest. Vibrations resonate more in the material than in silicone and jelly materials that are softer than hard plastic. So, choose one of these materials if you want your future toy to be quiet!
However, each product is different and even products made from the same material have varying sound levels. Our store has a demo version of several of our products, which allows you to get a closer look at the sound of the product, for example. The quietest Our vibrator wand V1 can also be found in our online store. In addition to its quiet sound, its wonderful features include an extremely flexible and soft silicone material.
Different types of vibrations
Most vibrators have some form of vibration control. In some cases, however, there is no control and the wand can only be turned on and off. In this case, it is worth making sure that the vibration is strong enough for your taste.
Vibration adjustment is either so-called stepless or stepped in products that have the option of adjustment. Stepless adjustment means that the intensity of the vibration can be increased or decreased by turning the roller control, usually located at the bottom of the product. The vibration itself remains the same, only its intensity changes.
Stepped adjustment means that the product has different vibration programs. So the vibration does not just get stronger, but also becomes different. The number of vibration programs generally varies depending on the product, from a few options to more than ten options.
In some cases, it is also possible to change the vibration intensity of different vibration programs, giving you even more options for finding the most enjoyable vibration with combinations of programs and vibration intensity.
Are you downloading?
Vibrator wands are available in both traditional battery-powered and USB-rechargeable versions. USB-rechargeable products have become much more popular in recent years, but there is still a wide range of battery-powered products. Battery-powered and rechargeable motors both have their pros and cons.
USB rechargeable products need to be charged regularly to ensure that there is enough vibration when you need it most. Running out of battery while playing can be a frustrating interruption to your fun.
Most products take at least half an hour to fully charge, and in some cases even several hours. Battery-powered products therefore continue to defend their position, for example when the product cannot be charged. Changing batteries is also a snap at other critical times. 
Size and shape sometimes matter
Vibrator wands are roughly divided into straight and curved designs, as well as wand-style.
The curved shape is suitable for reaching the g-spot. The vibrator can imitate the shape of a penis or be, for example, in the fun shape of a rose or an animal. Wand-shaped rods are especially good for external caressing and clitoral stimulation. Thanks to their tip, they give you reach, for example, when used during intercourse.
In addition to design, the right size is also a matter of taste. Vibrator wands come in both slim, palm-sized and thick and plush. What would be your choice?
Branching out for additional pleasure
Vibrator wands are also available in multi-head versions, meaning that in addition to the main shaft, the wand has one or two branches. The branches can be used to stimulate the clitoris and/or anus at the same time as the vagina. This allows you to reach more nerve endings at the same time and get more pleasure. The additional stimulation often also makes it easier to reach orgasm.
So it's worth considering what you want the wand to be used for and whether stroking the clitoris and/or anus is an important or even necessary part of pleasure in your case.
Help with product selection
There are so many types of vibrators to choose from and it's not always easy to choose. Vibrators don't have to be for everyone, just like any other toy. On the other hand, a vibrator can surprisingly be the perfect dildo when you don't need any vibration at all!
At Erotiikan Aja, we want everyone to find the product that best suits their own and their potential partner's wishes and needs. The best way to do this is of course by discussing and comparing products on site at our store.
We are happy to help! Welcome to our selection <3
