Here is the Manwand vibrator! Yes, it is indeed a wand that is a bit like a masturbator despite its appearance! Indeed, when I first saw the Manwand in pictures, I was intrigued. It must be said that it is not a classic wand like you find everywhere. Nothing to do with a classic masturbator or a wand like the Doxy Massager.
Here, we are dealing with a kind of wand with a U-shaped head to slide his penis and let himself be carried by the vibrations. It is therefore quite innovative. I already had the opportunity to review some glans masturbators like the Cobra Libre 2 or the Zini Dib Bang Bang, but this time, we go a step further. We find ourselves between the masturbator and the vibrating wand. We will see together if this Man.wand is a small revolution in the field of sex toys for men. Here is the review of the Manwand vibrator!
Manwand vibrator packaging
Table of Contents
We start with the box as always. It is a cardboard box, quite soft and metallic gray. We find some information on the product and especially, the word MANWAND written in big. This box contains inside, a plastic mold to maintain the Manwand vibrator in place. This is not very ecological. Under this plastic mold, there is a black storage pocket as well as a small manual and a USB charging cable.
Small detail that I love, there is a label on the charging cable with Manwand written on it. This makes it easy to find the cable in the huge pile of charging cables I own. When you start to have more than 300 charging cables, it becomes very complicated. Finally, there is also a sticker that acts as a seal to ensure that the product has not been opened.
Manwand vibrator physical details
The first time I took the Manwand vibrator out of the box, I thought it must be a pretty good product. A wand for men with a stimulating head designed for penises, finally something interesting. Instead of finding a ball like on all the wands, it is a U shape in which you can slide your penis to feel the vibrations on the glans. It is a classic wand, but with a completely different head. Except that here, it is relatively small compared to competition wands.
Size of the Manwand
The Manwand vibrator is a wand, but relatively small. Indeed, if I compare it to other clitoral stimulators of the kind, one realizes the differences in size. For example, the Fifty Shades Freed wand measures 34 cm (13.38″) in total length or the Europe Magic Wand and its 33 cm (12.99″). When you know that the Manwand vibrator measures only 19.5 cm (7.67″), you understand why. It is slightly larger than the Nalone Rock to give you an idea. The insertable diameter (at the head for the glans penis) is 3.6 cm (1.41″), as well as the other side of the ball, intended for the clitoris for example. In total, it weighs 202 grams on the scale, which makes it light, still compared to the usual wands on the market.
Other visual aspects of the Manwand
To describe the Manwand vibrator a little more, it is a wand with a U-shaped head with two silicone wings on the sides. There are ridges on the inside of the two wings to provide a little more stimulation than a flat surface. There are also ridges on the handle of the wand to have a better grip on it. And finally, it is a black wand, the only color available for this stimulator.
Manwand vibrator materials
Like many sex toys nowadays, the Manwand vibrator is made of 100% silicone. As a reminder, silicone is a hygienic and hypoallergenic material. It’s healthy for the body and contains no phthalates or latex. This silicone is okay, but it’s not the best silicone I’ve come across either. It gets a little dusty, but nothing too bad.
Manwand vibrator use
When you see this wand on the packaging, you quickly understand what it will be used for. It is above all a penis stimulator, which can be used alone or in couple. The concept is to place his penis inside the “U” shape to apply vibrations to the brake of the glans. You can go back and forth at the same time to slide the penis on the striations inside.
But that’s not all, because the other side of the U-shape has a round shape, just like the competition wand-type clitoral stimulators. But yes, the famous wands! Still don’t see them? The Tokidoki Unicorn? The Doxy Die Cast Edition? But also, the Europe Magic Wand or the Magic Wand rechargeable? Ah, I knew that sounded familiar. So you can use the other side to stimulate the clitoris. And since it’s a wand, you can have fun giving control to a third person, especially in the context of games for two and why not, as a stimulator for forced orgasm. But let’s see how it is used in the basics.
How to charge the Manwand?
Like any sextoy that has a battery, before playing with it, it must be charged. Here, it is very simple. You have at your disposal, a USB/mini-jack charging cable that you can plug directly into a computer or a power adapter. Charging takes about two hours at a glance for an average of 1.5 hours of use.
How to control the Manwand?
To use the Manwand vibrator, you have three buttons available. There is an “O” button that turns the toy on or off. Then, you have a “W” button that allows you to change the vibrating modes. And finally, a “|||” button that allows you to change the intensity levels of the vibrations. So far, so good. But when you start to use it, you notice some strange elements.
For example, when I turn on the Manwand vibrator. As soon as I turn it on, I go directly to the first mode with the highest intensity. So I start to press the button to change the intensity and there, I realize that it makes the intensity decrease instead of increasing it. This shows that when I turn on the Manwand, the strongest intensity is used by default. If I change the mode, I switch back to the strongest intensity. In fact, the wand works a bit backwards compared to what I’m used to review. It’s confusing, but you get used to it as you go along. The change of mode is done in a cyclic way. We return to the neutral point before starting again on the first mode.
What are the vibration modes and intensities of the Manwand?
On the Manwand vibrator, you have 8 intensity levels and 20 vibration modes. Yes, 20 modes is not bad at all. There are modes with continuous vibrations but also more original modes. For example, a mode with a pulsating vibration that makes 4 medium jerks, then a slow one. Or a mode that performs a burst of 8 fast strokes and 1 much slower. There is really everything! On the other hand, when you are looking for a specific mode and you have to cycle through the 20 modes, it’s a bit annoying. Especially if you press by mistake the mode change button and you have to recycle in the 19 other modes before coming back to the one you want.
How to clean the Manwand?
With a 100% waterproof product that allows you to use it in water, the Manwand is easy to clean. A shot of toy cleaner and water. Or, a quick rinse under warm water with a little soap will do the trick. Then leave the Manwand on a towel to dry.
What lubricant should I use with the Manwand?
As you may have read earlier, the Manwand vibrator is made of 100% silicone. It is therefore necessary to use a water-based lubricant to avoid any risk of deterioration. For this, you have very good lubricants on the market. There is the lubricant Sliquid H2O, the Yes Bio water-based. But also, the Pjur Aqua or the Peace at Rends. The choice is yours.
Manwand vibrator efficiency
This is everyone’s favorite part, namely, does this sextoy work well and does it give you orgasms. That’s a bit of a crude summary, but it’s not far from it. So I’ll tell you what I got out of it by using it for this review.
The power of vibrations
To give you an idea of the quality and power of the vibrations, it is not bad at all. Be careful, it is not a very powerful wand either. If I compare it to the Doxy Massager or the Vive Shiatsu, it vibrates less strongly. The vibrations themselves are rather qualitative. It lacks power, a little. As someone who has been used to sex toys for several years now, I would have liked a little more power to reach orgasm more easily, but these vibrations are not too superficial either.
For my part, I find that it falls somewhere in between. It is thus satisfactory on the whole. It is necessary on the other hand to position its penis well to feel the vibrations well. It is the brake of the penis which must vibrate. If you use it upside down, you won’t feel much.
The wings of the wand
On the part that vibrates, there are two fins. Two flaps if you can call them that. I thought that these were quite strong, malleable, but hard, in reality, they are far too flexible and soft. As a result, if you want to encircle your penis with it, it doesn’t work at all. The only way to do this is to hold the wand with one hand and the two flaps with the other. But even so, it doesn’t work well.
Indeed, you can’t really hold the two flaps continuously because you feel the vibrations in your hand too much. It becomes unpleasant quite quickly. If these two wings were really foldable to maintain the penis inside, the stimulation would have been much better. It’s a bit of a shame.
The commands and manipulations
Another small negative point is the controls. They are not complicated, but I find that the placement is not optimal. Indeed, they are not in the axis of the “U”. As a result, when you use it, the handle is tilted in one direction in order to have the penis brake on the appropriate area. And because of this, the buttons are not as easily accessible. If it is someone else who controls the device, this is not a problem, but when you use it alone, it is less convenient. Nothing too bad either, but I want to point it out.
Other points about the Manwand
Even though I announced the negative points first, this wand also has some good points. You can use it without being erect. By placing your penis inside the U, you just have to switch on the vibrations to stimulate the penis and bring it into an erect state. It may be a detail, but for those with erectile dysfunction, it’s not bad at all. Especially since for a “penis” oriented sextoy, it’s always nice to be able to use it without getting a hard-on. If I take a masturbator, I have no choice. I have to have a hard-on to use it. Here, it’s not bad to start from the first second of play.
The fact that you can go back and forth while vibrating the brake of the penis is also a good point. It makes all the difference when it comes to reaching orgasm. Since the vibrations are weaker than a real wand, the ability to do this allows you to take off a little more. And another point, the striations present in the hollow of the U are pleasant. You can also have fun rotating the handle of the Manwand vibrator to bring additional sensations.
Orgasm or not?
Yes, I managed to get an orgasm with it. It was not easy, because despite the interesting concept, I think we can do better. The mentioned flaws prevent it from being an excellent sextoy. But I can’t say that the product is not good. It’s a good product, but it’s not excellent. The concept is interesting, but I’m disappointed on the fins. If my penis was really well encircled, with pressure on the glans, I think I would have loved this Manwand. It’s a shame, because this toy isn’t missing much to be very good.
Sure, I got an orgasm in about 20 minutes while watching a porn video at the same time, but it’s not as powerful as the orgasms I get using a classic wand.
Manwand vibrator final thoughts
In the end, I still liked the product, but the few flaws present make me cringe. There is not much missing from this toy to be simply excellent. Just the fact that the wings could be tightened would have been just perfect. Now, you can pull your penis out whenever you want, you don’t really feel like you’re trapped in an impending orgasm. It’s a shame. However, rest assured, you can cum with it. Even me, who is quite experienced in sextoy and company, I managed to cum with it. I might as well tell you that it does its job.
So it’s not a bad buy, but I’m waiting for a new model with all the improvements I’ve announced to have fun with it like crazy. If a new version is released. In the meantime, it’s a toy I think I’ll use from time to time, especially when I’m not in control of it. For novices, you can go ahead and use it, the power of it will be up to your expectations. For me, it’s a little weak, but I must say that I’m used to big vibrations.
