The Fairy Wand is a rechargeable massager presented by Media Craft Inc. Meant to be a multipurpose toy, the Fairy Wand can be used as a conventional muscle massager or as a clitoral stimulator. It can also be used on any of the body's erogenous zones (labia, nipples, perineum, testicles, penis and anything else you'd like to stimulate).

Although this toy is primarily aimed towards women (based on the colour and imagery used on the exterior of the toy) couples and men will be able to enjoy thoroughly the Fairy Wand. It can be paired up with one of the vibrator sleeves/caps meant for the Fairy Line or with any other dildo or plug for extra stimulation.

The Fairy Wand is made of phthalates free, hypo-allergenic, food-grade, latex-free plastic. It is almost completely odorless, with the scent of plastic only noticeable when it is placed directly up to the face. The handle of the toy is hard, pink and white plastic, with the words "Fairy Lithium Charge" below a pink decal of a flying fairy surrounded by stars and butterflies. At the bottom of the toy is the symbol for recycling with the words "Li-ion" below it.

The sides of the toy are textured to be slightly velvety, where the rest of the handle is smooth, providing a better grip. The head of the toy is a very subtly textured velvet plastic--less velvety than the handle, with less drag, but enough texture to make it noticeable.

The Fairy Wand is 8 inches long, weighing about 10 ounces, with a diameter of 1 and 3/4 inches. It's smaller in each and every way than both the Ideal and the Hitachi. The head is a little bit larger than a Snapple bottle cap, and a bit smaller than a Vitamin Water bottle cap. The head is smooth until you hit the sides, which are ribbed and can provide extra texturing. On the front handle of the toy there is a dial wheel that is used to turn the toy on or off as well as to change the speed/intensity of the vibrations. Below that is a small indentation with the 'charging' light. When the toy is plugged in, the indentation lights up green.

The toy is made of a slightly draggy silicone, so it requires a bit of lubricant to minimize lube and to make the intense vibrations easier to handle.

The Fairy Wand would be appropriate for beginners and avid toy collectors alike, being so versatile and easily stored. The Fairy Wand is small and comes with its own pink storage pouch, making it discrete and manageable.

The box it came with also specified that, sold separately, there is a USB cable so you can charge it with your computer, making it travel friendly and good for people who take their computers everywhere.

The Fairy Wand functions extremely well. It is powered with a rechargeable battery, and The Fairy Wand plugs into any standard US outlet. The vibrations are located in the head, and they are definitely on par with the Hitachi's power, and exceeding the Ideal's force.

Sensitive users may find that this toy just has too much power for them, even on the lowest setting. This can be solved by using one of the vibrator sleeves/hoods to muffle the power, or by placing something between the Fairy Wand and whatever you're stimulating, such as a washcloth or a towel.

The controls are easy to use, the dial wheel can be managed with one finger, even during use. I found that, although there is no blinking light or outward indicator, I knew when it needed recharging. On my unit, when it needed to be charged, on the lowest setting, it emitted a high pitched squeak. This told me that I had about 10 minutes of play left before requiring a recharge. I found that it lasted about 50-80 minutes on medium-high intensity to be recharged, and took about two hours to top off the charge. Your mileage may vary depending on the intensity you're using and how long the toy has charged.

It is quite loud, but that does not detract from my enjoyment of the toy; the volume was never anything that could not be concealed with a closed door and some music.

This toy could be used for insertion because the head size is not extremely large, though due to the shape I would advise lubricant. I would caution against using this for anal insertion due to the lack of a flared base, and the fact that it seems like the spot between the head and the handle would make removal painful.

Plastic is easy to maintain, but because the Wand isn't waterproof it can be a bit of a nuisance to clean. I've found that the easiest way to wipe this one down is using a toy cleaning wipe, an isopropyl alcohol pad, or a slightly damp washcloth with antibacterial soap on it.

Under no circumstances should you submerge this toy. You should not drop it in your boiling pot of water, either, and keep it away from your dishwasher.

Storage is easy because it comes with a carrying/storage pouch which serves to keep it free from dust, lint, mold, or melted chocolate body paint left out too long.

Plastic is compatible with silicone, oil and water based lubricants.

Because of the ribs on the head, you must make sure to clean in each one well because bodily fluids, as well as lint and dust, can collect in there and make trouble. If you were inclined to share this between partners, as this cannot be 100% sterilized, I would recommend covering the head with a condom before each use (this will also prevent the toy's ribs from getting sticky/dusty and will prevent a lot of cleanup headache).

Having had my last Hitachi die, and being disappointed by the Ideal, I was very pleased to find that this toy worked out so well for me. It's punishing vibrational power was an awesome find in such a small toy--especially one that is rechargeable!
