Wand massagers were some of the first mechanized sex toys, they're are many manufacturers that produce them in a variety of sizes, shapes and speeds. We decided to try a new wand (having lost our old Hitachi), and we read good reviews about Wahl.

The Wahl deluxe is a step forward in personal massagers, their first model has a 90 degree angle and interchangeable heads. We had heard from friends how great this first model was, so we decided the "deluxe" would have to be tried out. Wand type massagers are great for superficial and deep muscle therapy. They increase circulation, relase endorphins, and reduce muscle spasm. They do this by producing deep vibrations, it's those vibrations in addition to the increased circulation that makes them such a great sex toy as well.

This vibrator is best used by those with no need of privacy, it's relatively loud, and the moans from orgasms produced are also going to wake the neighbors in the next apartment over. It quieter than the Hitachi(5 bees) vs. Wahl(4 bees), on their respective high settings.

We only use the high setting for muscle relaxation and when she is going to cum, otherwise this wand is used on low, we agree with Laur3n in her review that it can make your skin itchy on high speed.

This toy has been used in 2-somes and 4-somes, it's hard plastic shell cannot be sterilized so if you are not fluid bound to your "friends" your going to need a bleach solution to clean it up. The chance of transmittal is very low, and an acceptable risk for us. You should be informed about sharing this in a group situation, and make your own assessment. Most of the times we use it, she uses it solo while I watch and play by/with myself.

Hard plastic makes up the Handle and interchangeable heads, the rubber type rings are unidentified, but most likely a PVC blend. There are several different textures to the interchangeable heads. The interchageable heads each have a unique purpose as well as unique texture on the tops and sides. We found the rubber type rings to be removable and interchangeable as well.

The Wahl wand is 11" long, and is designed with a "flexible neck". We agree with other reviews in that it's really not that flexible, and as a muscle massager it's too stiff to bend and contour without undue pressure. We have read you shouldn't push hard with these types of massagers, rather just let the machine do the work for you.

The tapered neck is what has made this device such a big hit in our household. "Mrs'" uses this area with the head of the wand pointing towards her feet. It provides a broad smooth vibrating surface that fits her mons almost perfectly. It covers most of the area, and when used on the low setting, bathes the area in strong yet manageable sensations.

The varying head can all be used for muscle therapy and masturbation, the one displayed on the product page(smooth massage) is great for soothing areas over prior to any deep muscle therapy. You could use either the rubber side for pinpoint massage or the top broad area for larger areas and long sweeps.

Here's the manufacture's take;

"Product Description
The Wahl 4296 Deluxe Therapy Full-size Therapeutic Massager has multiple heads which provides various massage effects. Smooth massage: creates a gentle relaxing massage for all-over general body use and a ring of knobs pinpoints concentrated areas. Kneading massage: larger ridges target deep into the tissue and a slotted side surface provides light muscle massage. Deep massage: long prongs designed to dig deep into muscles and a smooth surfaced ring provides for a soothing massage. It is corded for maximum power with 2 speeds to provide fast relief. Select an attachment and customize your massage to match your needs. Relieve everyday aches and pains with the benefits of a soothing and relaxing massage. If used correctly on a continual basis, massage relieves muscle tension and improves blood circulation."

This toy is corded and should not be used or cleaned near water while plugged in. There are 2 setting low and high. The switch moves back and forth and is located on the handle. We have not seen or had issue with the switch being pressed by accident. This toy is quieter than the Hitachi on high, but is not very quiet overall. In our experience it's one of the quieter wands we have owned.

We do not do much to care for our great wand, It's hard ABS plastic usually requires a disinfectant wipe to make it look shiny and new. Every once in a while after a particularly messy encounter, we do remove the rubber bumpers and give them a wash in the sink with soap and water. The area where the different attachments also can trap fluid so be sure to remove them as well and give them a through cleaning.

The Wahl came in a box with the image of the massager on the front and printing on the sides. The box included instructions and contraindications, but a wand is pretty self explanatory . We discarded the box, having no intention of using it for any storage purposes.

We appreciate the shape of the neck of this wand. It fits her mons perfectly and she loves broad clit stimulation, this wand fills that area really well. The plug in aspect is a blessing and a curse, but usually it's not an issue as we have a long cord.

We attempted to use this wand with a dimmer switch to see if we could make the low vibrations even more adjustable. If you are interested in doing that, know that it will NOT work with the Deluxe Wahl. We also own the classic Wahl(with the warming head), that one will operate with the dimmer switch for some reason.

In considering this as a massage type device we found the curved neck to be good in the webbed areas of the body(rotator cuff, upper traps and groin). One could also use this for flat surfaces by pushing the flat surface on lower backs, quads and calves. The bumper(rubber) portion would best work on the little crooks of the body(under the base of the skull, shoulders and glutes). The only thing that limits you is your imagination.

We keep finding new ways of using this wand. She was using it on herself and couldn't seem to get over the top when I grabbed the Liberator wedge, and pushed her onto her back. I placed the wedge under her hips and put the wand on it and climbed on top of her. We were able to use the wand head to stimulate the shaft of my cock while I fucked her nice and hard, it was AMAZING. We also used this for clit stimulation while I took her from behind. We have had others in our bedroom, all of them really enjoy this wand.
