I’ve Tested More Than 100 Wand Vibrators—But This One Is My All-Time Favorite

Measuring 8 inches long and weighing 6.7 ounces, the Ultra Wand is shorter and lighter than most other wand vibrators I’ve tried. For a sense of comparison, Hitachi’s Magic Wand and Le Wand’s Massager, two fan favorites, measure 12 inches long and weigh 1.2 pounds and 13 inches long and weigh 1.5 pounds, respectively. This makes the Ultra Wand more accessible to folks with hand mobility or wrist strength challenges, (and a better pick for marathon sex sessions in general).
Coated top to bottom in silky, body-safe silicone, the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand is smooth to the touch. Run your hands over its length, however, and you’ll feel that the entire toy feels slightly bumpy—another plus. Added texture can make sex more pleasurable for many people with vulvas, according to sex and relationship expert Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, PhD, associate professor in the department of human communication studies at California State University. “Textures and sensations on the clit and vulva can bring novelty to the body and mind, which can be more exciting than experiencing the same smooth surface all the time,” she tells SELF.
How I tried it (and how it went)
Before I took the Ultra Wand for its first test drive, I spent some time figuring out how the buttons worked and cycling through all 10 settings. I was thrilled to discover that the toy’s round head is the only part that vibrates. If the entire wand buzzes—as is often the case—my hand usually ends up going numb while using it. Not ideal.
When it was eventually time to get down and dirty, I shut my pup out of my bedroom, turned on my sex playlist, and stripped to my skivvies. Usually, I keep my underwear on when I masturbate to buffer the vibrations. But I was excited to discover that because the Ultra Wand is smaller than most other wand vibes I’ve used, it also has a smaller motor, which makes the vibrations less intense. Surprisingly, I was able to enjoy the sensations directly on my skin.
I love the feel of the silicone on my vulva. It was silky and skin-like to the touch—not sticky or tacky, as can be the case. And the knobby texture definitely stood out: Each time I shifted the head of the vibrator a millimeter or two, the pattern added a little extra something.
All in all, I ended up enjoying 3 orgasms in just under 17 minutes with the Ultra Wand. (Yes, I had a timer going in the name of investigative journalism). This is impressive, given that I usually can’t use wand vibrators for more than a few minutes before their weight fatigues my arm.
Trying it with my partner
My partner and I live in different states, which means a lot of our sexual intimacy involves giving the other play-by-plays of our solo sessions—sometimes FaceTiming each other while we get busy. By the time my partner and I were able to try the Ultra Wand together in the flesh, they had already heard me wax poetic about the toy and seen its effect on me, so they were excited to use it with me.
