This is where the magic happens...

While most mainstream sex toys including rabbits, bullets and clit-stimulators have been upgraded over the years, the mighty magic wand still looks exactly how you'd expect: a knobbly-headed baton that delivers clitoral orgasms in abundance.

Sure, some sex toy retailers have attempted to experiment with the format. But for the most part, the wand remains true to its origins. And there's a reason for this! Yes, it's heavier than most, and yes it's harder to disguise on your bedside table, but it also really, really works.

That said, sex toy brands have approached the original prototype in slightly different ways to cater to your clit-tingling needs. So, if you're ready to make like Samantha from that famous Sex and the City episode and "find" your lost orgasm, you have come to the right place. Keep scrolling for everything you need to know about the humble magic wand vibrator, including how to use it, where to use it and the best ones to buy...

First marketed as a body massager by the Japanese company Hitachi back in 1968, it's not clear if it was ever the brand's intention, but horny housewives quickly discovered its magical clit-stimulation powers, and the rest is history.

Fast-forward to the 21st century and the magic wand (Hitachi later took its name off the product to distance the brand from the buzz) has achieved iconic status as a symbol of female sexual liberation, and most adult brands now sell a version of the classic device.

But what sets the magic wand apart from other sex toys on the market? Aside from the simplicity of the design, it delivers a deep and rumbling clitoral-targeted vibration that many women liken to sexual ecstasy. Sign us up.

The magic wand's lasting appeal is partly down to its simplicity, but it's no one-trick pony.

From Lelo's famous Smart Wand to Ricky's Ultimate Massager, we've rounded up the best magic wand vibrators on the market, so all you have to do is click buy now and a world of pleasure awaits.

If self-care is the buzzword of the moment, then it's safe to say that sexual wellness brand Lelo are the unofficial sponsors of 2022. The Scandinavian brand specialise in sex tech, so assuming that shopping for gadgets is high on your agenda right now, this brand is worth getting intimate with. Yes the Smart Wand is at the pricier end of the pleasure spectrum, but you get what you pay for you and this premium tool will blow your socks off. It's really simple to use, the motorised tip offers 10 different vibration settings, and after a long night of thorough testing we still haven't had to recharge it. And if you're feeling sore after a long day? It doubles up as an excellent post-coital body massager too. We are in love.

What's included: Silicone wand, USB-charging cable and satin storage pouch.

This massage wand has snuck its way into pretty much every single one of our best sex toy lists, with good reason. It delivers delightful vibrations to the intended sweet spots, feels gloriously soft to touch and best of all it's multi-functional, so you can use one end as a clit stimulator and then flip it round to pinpoint your G-spot. We credit this sex toy with saving our marriage - yes, it's that good.

What's included: Silicone wand and USB charging cable.

In the mood for some fun? This mains powered magic wand vibrator means business. It's big, it's powerful and it will never, ever run out of battery, so you can keep on playing all night long. Meanwhile the soft and flexible silicone head promises intense multi-speed vibrations that range from gentle strokes to thrumming beats at the touch of a button. It's a hefty piece of hardware so you will need to make space in your bedside drawer. But this classic wand epitomises everything that's brilliant about the original prototype: multi-speed power, deep vibrations and orgasms by the bucket load.

What's included: Hard plastic wand and mains powered charging cable.

Another double-ended dynamo, this two-in-one massaging wand from UK-based sexual wellness brand So Divine comes with two separate motors, three speed options and seven pulsating patterns to help you get your rocks off. We particularly like how soft it feels to hold, and while the wand head definitely delivers, the G-spot probe is a brilliant addition to play time. Lock the doors and close the blinds, as you won't be leaving the house this weekend.

High-end lube purveyors Roam are relatively new to the sex toy circuit, but the brand's modern take on the wand is already a big hit. The Wand is made from medical grade silicone that's totally latex and phthalates free, making it safe to use internally and externally. What's more, it's just the right size and shape to both massage your clit and slip inside to target your G-spot. Just don't forget the lube! We highly recommend the brand's water-based gel lube, or try the silk lube option for back door fun.

The Rave from Canadian sex toy giants We-Vibe has been designed with G-spot stimulation in mind, but this is YOUR party and there are no rules, so you can use it anywhere you fancy. It's also waterproof and comes with an app, so the opportunities are endless. And if you're a firm fan of the classic wand, it works a treat as a clit-stimulator too and like all good raves, promises to keep you up all night long.

What's included: G-spot stimulator, USB charging cable and storage bag.

OK, so this isn't technically a magic wand. But The Ballerina from cult Swedish sexual wellness brand Smile Makers works in a very similar way, delivering deep and throbbing vibrations direct to your sensitive spots. We particularly like this little pebble because it's surprisingly powerful, but unlike rigid sex toys the soft silicone gel is malleable and squidgy to touch. Plus it's easy to pop in your handbag should the mood take you when you're out on the town.

What's included: Pebble shaped silicone gel vibe and USB charging cable.

This classic wand may look similar to all the other vibes on our list. But it's made from extra velvety silicone so it feels like a smoother and more sensual ride, which bodes well for sensual body massage as well as clitoral stimulation. But what really sets it apart from other sex toys is the noise level, or lack thereof. While the 10 intensity level motorised head is really quite powerful, it remains a reassuringly quiet vibe – perfect for holidays, me-time when the in-laws visit or enjoying a secret session in the loos at work. No judgement here, sometimes self-pleasure simply has to come first. What's included: Silicone wand and USB charging cable.

This magic wand from Satisfyer has had a 21st century overhaul. Yes, it still looks like a classic wand, but it comes with two interchangeable heads, so you can switch it up between a wand and a G-spot probe depending on your mood. But most importantly, it comes with a free app to control the settings. And did we mention that it's waterproof? Don't call us, we're busy until Christmas.

What's included: Silicone wand, two interchangeable heads and USB charging cable.
