With over 50 years of orgasmic history to brag about, it's clear why wand vibrators are such a BFD. The massaging devices became symbolic of the '70s sex-positive feminist movement when consumers got...creative with a wand-shaped body massager called the Hitachi, and though it was *not* marketed as a sex toy, the device—now known as the Magic Wand—quickly gained a reputation for being one of the most powerful vibrators out there. They may not be the quietest or most discreet sex toys, but wand vibes provide A+ clitoral stimulation, and we've got the best wand vibrator options available rn.
Why are wand massagers so powerful, you ask? Typically, wand vibrators have the greatest revolutions per minute (RPMs), which means they vibrate VERY intensely. They also tend to have a larger surface area and sturdier build, so they can really pack a punch (in a good way, ofc). A heavier counterweight = a deeper vibration, so if you're into rumbly vibes, wands are your best bet. From super-strong, full-size wands to tiny travel-friendly toys to stash in your bag, we rounded up the best wand vibrators and massagers on the market, and here's a lil sneak peek for ya.

Below, find all the editor-approved wand vibrators we can't stop buzzing about (lol), as well as everything you should know before buying yourself a new wand vibe.
So...what is a wand vibrator exactly?
Wondering what all the hype is about? The magic of wand vibes lies in their rumbly vibrations. The motor is at the head, so these toys deliver both internal and external vibrations, resulting in all-over clitoral stimulation and a deeper vibration with minimal maneuvering on your part. As certified sex and relationship psychotherapist Gigi Engle previously told Cosmo, "The strongest motors will naturally contribute to the strongest vibrators." Makes sense! And while corded wands used to reign supreme, technology has given us cordless wands that "are barely distinguishable" from those plug-in options, like Le Wand and the newer Magic Wand models, per Engle.
According to sexologist Megan Stubbs, wand vibrators are also amazingly multi-functional. You can put the wand on a pillow and ride it for a DIY version of a hands-free toy. Or, if you have a dildo that doesn't vibrate and you want it to, you can insert the dildo inside yourself and place the wand vibe against the base of the toy so the vibrations carry. And that's not even half of it!
When you're with a partner, you can use the wand on the clitoris or the perineum (the area between the balls and the anus) for added stimulation during oral, anal, or vaginal penetration. You can also use your wand vibrator like Hitachi originally intended: to relieve sore muscles. Seriously! You can use your fave wand on your back when you're sore (after thoroughly cleaning your device, obv). Who doesn't love a multi-functional toy?
How to choose the best wand vibrator
There are a few other things you should consider when shopping for these types of toys, aside from power and preferred vibration patterns. For instance, can you hold the wand comfortably in your hand? How easy is it to charge? Are the buttons conveniently placed? How easy is it to clean? Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Consider the material
When it comes to vibrators, the material matters 'cause you definitely don't want to irritate your most intimate areas with a poorly-made toy. It's best to steer clear of toys made with PVC, as those tend to be more porous and pretty much impossible to fully sanitize (not to mention they may contain toxic chemicals called phthalates). Instead, look for toys made from body-safe or medical-grade silicone, which work great with water-based lubes or ABS plastic.
Find the right weight
Generally speaking, a heavier counterweight will give ya a deeper vibration. But that doesn't mean every toy with a powerful AF motor is going to be amazing. Toys also need to be balanced, so the vibration energy goes where it needs to go (like the contact area) and not anywhere else (like the handle, which would make your arm super tired). And sometimes, a lighter toy is preferable if you're looking for something you can take on the go.
Look at the specifications
The two most important factors to consider—aside from the size and weight of your new toy—are the max noise level and the vibration power. Unfortch, the most powerful wands are usually the noisiest, so if you have roommates, then you'll wanna keep this in mind. Noise level is measured in decibels (dBs), while vibration power is typically measured in revolutions per minute (RPMs). Not every vibrator will have this information readily accessible, but both stats are good to know, whether you prioritize intensity over discretion or vice versa. For the record, sex toys that operate below 50 dBs are considered quiet.
