There are a few reasons why people really like magic wands. Here are some of the most common.
They provide powerful vibrations
Most magic wand vibrators are mains powered (they plug into a wall socket rather than relying on batteries). This allows them to use a very powerful motor to provide intense, deep vibrations… something which a lot of people find more pleasant than the shallow, buzzy sensation offered by smaller batterypowered vibes.
If you’ve only played with small vibes before, a mains powered magic wand offers a completely different kind of stimulation. Even some people who don’t like most vibrators stillreallyenjoy the more intense vibration of a magic wand.
Likewise, though, for some people it’s a bit much to take… Betty Dodson herself recommended using it through a towel to help take the edge off.
They have a broad area of effect
The head of most magic wand vibrators is relatively large, meaning that the sensation they provide isn’t focussed in one small area. Many people find stimulation over a broad area like this much more enjoyable than pinpoint targeted stimulation to just one spot.
They’re easy to use
Magic wands have a large handle and a large head. Unlike dildos, vibes or other toys, you can use them without having to grip too hard or reach right down between your legs. This makes them an ideal toy for anyone who has limited mobility, or a body that’s on the larger side.
While magic wands aren’t perfect as far as accessibility goes, they do work for many people in a way that smaller or fiddlier toys just don’t.
They work for any anatomy
A magic wand can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of their anatomy. In porn they’re often shown being used by (or on) women… but they work just as well on men or intersex people. The powerful vibrations can sometimes stimulate the prostate even without insertion, and the head of the wand can be held against the glans for direct stimulation.
They can be adapted and extended
Because magic wand vibrators are so popular, there are plenty of variations and attachments on the market. You can buy addons that make your wand insertable, or that change the texture of its head, add a projecting tongue, or allow you to hang it off your dick like a shower curtain.
And if it turns out that you really like playing with a magic wand, you can get travel sized versions, battery powered devices, waterproof wands and so on to suit your every need.
They look innocuous
The magic wand is one of those sex toys that doesn’t really look like a sex toy (in part, perhaps, because the original Magic Wandwasn’ta sex toy). This not only makes it less intimidating to play with, but also means that it’s not a complete disaster if you accidentally leave it lying on the bedside table when you have family around.
They’re good at making people come
For all of the reasons listed above (and probably some more besides) magic wand vibrators are extremely good at making people come. So much so that they’ve been recommended again and again as a tool in the treatment of women with anorgasmia.
Again, a wand is just a tool. Despite the name, it doesn’t magically make everyone it touches come in an instant… but used in combination with other tools techniques, it can be a pretty handy device for that purpose.
