The Pocket Wand by Shaki Toys aspires to be a pleasing plastic torpedo of powerful vibrations but fails miserably in its construction. If you can get past the frustration of trying to get this open and closed without breaking off your nails, you could find something enjoyable about this toy.

Pros
Powerful, Plastic.
Cons
Plastic, Lack of controls, Hard to open and close, Cannot sterilize properly.
The Pocket Wand by Shaki Toys is a "pocket rocket" style toy that is meant to be used on the clitoris to tease and please. This can also be used on nipples, around the anus, on the perineum, on the shaft of a penis or anywhere else you may have a sensitive erogenous zone.
This toy is actually a bit too long to carry around in your pocket comfortably and discreetly but carrying it in a purse or bag would work out better.
This vibrator would be great for beginners because it is simple to use once you pry it open and insert the batteries. It is also a smaller sized vibrator that will not be too intimidating. Size queens will not really be missing out on too much with this toy since it is not really meant to be inserted.
The Pocket Wand is made from plastic earning it a safety rating of 8/10. Plastic is firm, smooth food-grade material that is also hypo-allergenic, latex free and phthalates free.
There was no odor upon opening this toy and it was offered in two colors here on Edenfantasys, pink and purple, but I'm not sure if it is ever going to be restocked.
This toy is only slightly grabby on skin but any kind of lubricant will work with the plastic material so grab your water, oil or silicone based lube to help this glide along smoothly.
The Pocket Wand is 6" long with a 2" long battery cap that contains the motor of the toy. Just pry it off (without breaking a nail or two) the 4" long empty cylindrical tube where the batteries slide into. Also inside that tube is a long thin piece of metal with a spring attached at the bottom that completes the circuit when batteries are put in and the cap is tightly forced down on it. This toy has a 1" diameter at the motor end and just over 1/2" diameter at the opposite end.
Where the battery cap meets the long tube is the only seam of the toy and using a condom over it is suggested if you are wanting to insert it. Otherwise you will have collected bodily fluids at that seam and it may even scrape up delicate body tissues.
Controls? Unless you count the force in which you have to use to pry this open and force it closed, there really are no controls. Just pry it open, insert 2 AA batteries and then try your hardest to close it again. Once you have it closed, hopefully with all your nails intact, it just buzzes away on one vibration setting. It feels like a medium or high buzzy vibration so not everyone will enjoy it.
It is recommended to only use this toy while completely alone or with just a partner because it is so darn loud it will be heard by everyone in your house. Needless to say this toy is not a great pick for dorm use.
The Pocket Wand is not waterproof or submergible so wash this toy carefully with warm water and antibacterial soap or toy cleaner or wipe it down with a toy wipe. You can also wipe this toy down with some isopropyl alcohol.
If you want to share this toy with someone you are not fluid bonded with already you should probably cover this toy with a condom just to be on the safe side. A condom will also help cover up that pesky seam so it doesn't catch bodily fluids.
There was no storage pouch included with this toy but you could just toss this in a drawer, storage box or bag or on a shelf with other toys.
The Pocket Wand aka Russian Torpedo came packaged in a clear plastic clamshell with a paper insert that claims all kinds of pleasure and enjoyment are to be had out of this toy in some poorly typed up English sentences on the front. The toy is readily visible from the front of the packaging so it is not discreet at all.
The back shows you all the colors this comes in, what kind and how many batteries are needed to operate it and some warnings on the bottom along with a recycling symbol.
The package is okay for storage but should be recycled if you decide not to use it. It should also be wrapped if gifting this toy to someone because the packaging doesn't hide the fact that this is a sex toy at all.
There were no booklets, warranties or instructions included.
To be honest I wasn't really expecting much out of this toy because I'd read some other reviews on it before I received it and they weren't great. After trying like hell to pry this open for the first time I just couldn't get it and gave up. I asked my husband to open it for me and even he had a little trouble with it but eventually got it open. I inserted the batteries and again had him help me close it because let's face it, if it was hard to open it's going to be harder to close with something pushing against the top.
So after getting the top closed again with batteries in the toy was buzzing away and I just played with it for a little while. It was nice buzzing away on my clitoris but beyond that I really didn't get much enjoyment out of this. It's not really worth the hassle of opening and closing the blasted thing.
Follow-up commentaryI still don't like it3 months after original review
This is probably one of the worst toy designs I've ever seen. It's hard to use and not really worth the effort. I haven't used this toy since reviewing it and have gotten rid of it so I can't speak of its condition.
