The New, Rechargeable Magic Wand!
2/7/25 update:
I’m updating this 2015 post because the Magic Wand Rechargeable is in the news again for two reasons:
-
Several of us (see comments) are among the 1,000 participants in the Magic Wand Study this month.
-
The New York Times Wirecutter declared the Magic Wand Rechargeable “the best vibrator.” I’m delighted that this article referenced me, Naked at Our Age, and my post “Vibrators for Seniors – especially for first-timers“! (Thank you, Bianca Alba!)
Original review published 4/13/15:
If you read my reviews, you know that I love the Magic Wand. For decades (yes, decades, with a couple of improvements along the way), it has been the King of Vibrators.
Now there’s a new king in town: the Magic Wand Rechargeable. It has everything we loved about the Original Magic Wand (reviewed here) plus 4 new attributes that make it the ideal sex tool for those of us who need really strong vibrations:
- It’s rechargeable! No need to look for an outlet near the bed or get tangled in cords — just charge it ahead of time, and it’s usable cord-free.
- Silicone head! The silicone covering of the head is not only more body-safe than the previous wand, it’s softer, a little cushy, which feels really good.
- Four speeds! Instead of the previous two speeds (high and turbo high), we have four choices. The lowest speed is rumbly and great for warm-up (for most of us), or if you don’t need super-strong, the first two speeds might be all you need. Turbo users can turn it up from level 1 to higher, extra high, or unbelievably high. According to Good Vibrations, here’s a comparison of intensity levels:
- Original Magic Wand: 1- 5000 rpms (vibrations/ minute); 2- 6000 rpms
- Rechargeable Magic Wand: 1- 2,700 rpms; 2- 3,800 rpms; 3- 5,400 rpms; 4- 6,300 rpms
- Patterns. I don’t really care about patterns — just give me strong, steady vibrations, thank you. But for those of you who like to experiment with patterns, there are four of them.
Being so strong, it has to be large to house the motor. Like previous iterations, this Magic Wand is big (13″ long with a tennis-ball sized head) and heavy — caution if you have arthritic wrists. On the other hand, it works so well that you’ll likely reach your goal in a very short time, compared to other sex toys!
The silicone head cover is not removable, so you have to be careful cleaning it — just wipe it clean.
The Magic Wand Rechargeable is priced in line with other rechargeable vibrators and well worth the money. (Please don’t be duped into buying it cheaper on Amazon. The cheap ones may be labeled Magic Wand, but they might not be — they might be knock-offs with inferior materials and design, and just try to get a refund when they overheat or stop working. Don’t risk it, seriously.)
I’m shouting, I’m singing, I’m dancing, I’m loving this new Magic Wand! Thank you, Good Vibrations, for gifting me the Magic Wand Rechargeable in exchange for an honest review.

I was accepted into the study.
Thanks for posting about it! 🙂
Thank you fpr suggesting that I try to get into the study> I was accepted and just received my Magic Wand! I have had many different toys over the years and this one is so different! I would not have bought it for myself at this moment not knowing a lot about it and it is pricey! So happy to have it and try it. Very different experience!
Thanks! I am excited to be a part of the study. Bippy
So happy to hear that, Bippy. The study will be an interesting experience! I’m doing it, too.
Hi Joan,
I was accepted into study , received my wand & was getting communications just fine waiting for yesterday’s seminar on Jan 30th.
I received NO communication nor anything today with a copy of webinar😔
So I don’t have any instructions & worse no contact for text or email I guess I accidentally deleted old ones.
Can you tell me how to contact them I need instructions & forms for study starting TOMORROW!!!

Martha, I emailed you this information. Apparently there were some tech glitches getting the info out, but you should have received a text and/or email today (Feb. 1) with everything you need.
I did sign up but apparently was not accepted because I see others have received one. Too bad, I really was interested.
They had 5,000 applicants for 1,000 spots! It’s no reflection on you — they randomly selected 200 from each of 5 age groups (ours being age 56+). Some of us were lucky enough to get in, but they had to turn down 4,000 of the 5,000. I’m sorry you didn’t get in, Sharon.
I asked about the sample.
“ We had initially recruited for 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, and 65+. We did not receive enough sign ups for an equal number of participants in the 55-64 and 65+ groupings. The final breakdown of participants includes 200 people in each of the following age groups 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55+.”
Years ago in 2017, I joined a group where during February you had an Orgasm a day. It was major in my sexual reawakening. Sorry you didn’t get selected but just go ahead and have an O a day.
Why not?
Me too…5,000 applied, 1000 chosen
I can remember in ‘68 when Eatons, Toronto started selling them.
I loved the sticker, Don’t Hate. Masturbate. Great advice for these chaotic times.
Looking forward to Week 2.
Will my wife (70 yrs )that has dry ness and sex hurts
Is this vibrator appropriate?
Ben, this vibrator is used *externally* not vaginally. Always use plenty of high quality lubricant for any genital contact, including vibrators.
