I bought this toy thinking that it would be nice for a little play, and hoping it would have a fairly strong vibration. It has exceeded my expectations more than I could possibly express. The vibrations range from very low and rumbly, to very high and still rumbly. The range really impressed me a lot. The Sensetouch technology is absolutely amazing! When it's turned on, the vibrations increase as the wand is touched against your skin. The longer you hold it, the more the vibrations intensify, up to the highest setting.

I would recommend this wand to anyone and everyone! While it's not the strongest wand out there, it's got some reasonably strong vibrations. It's great for all over the body. I've really enjoyed using it on my shoulders and feet, as well as for orgasmic bliss!

The Smart Wand is made of silicone, with a small area of silver plastic on the handle end of it. The silicone has a nice matte finish to it, that gives a slight drag against the skin. When using it as a massager, I don't find the need to use any sort of massage oil or lubricant. However, when using it for some play time, I would recommend a water-based lubricant. When examining the silicone, I can see where there is a seam, but it's almost impossible to feel it at all.

When I put my nose directly on the wand, I can smell a slight rubbery smell, but not enough to deter me from using it. There was no taste that I could detect, but I'm not one to usually put these types of toys in my mouth.

The Smart Wand is shaped like most other wands, but with a more curved, sleek handle. It has a very ergonomic design. The curve of the handle makes it very easy to reach almost anywhere on the body. It is 8 5/8 inches long, with 8 1/2 inches of circumference and 2 1/4 inches in diameter. I personally found the size to be perfect. It is quite a bit smaller than the Hitachi or other wands, but I didn't find this to take away from it at all. The head bends slightly at the groove in the design. It doesn't bend a lot, just enough for a bit of give when massaging.

This toy is very easy to hide, especially with the beautiful black satin pouch that comes with it. Since it is a wand style massager, it can also be left out as just a simple back massager and people may be none the wiser. I think that this would also be very easy to travel with.

This wand has 8 different vibration setting that can be cycled through by pressing the + or - buttons. However in my opinion, the best feature is the middle button, which is shaped kind of like parentheses (). If you press and hold this button until the light blinks, the Sensetouch is activated. The wand will begin at the lowest setting, and as it's held against the skin, the power of the vibrations increases. It's supposed to mimic the feel of real hands touching and massaging, and I have to say, it's awesome. It doesn't really feel like actual hands, but it feels pretty darn good! I think I've actually used it more as a massager than for orgasm, which is not like me at all! I just can't get over how good it feels!

It's pretty quiet, as well. When my boyfriend was using it on the other side of the room, I couldn't even hear it when it was on the highest setting. It's waterproof, but I haven't yet tried it in the water.

This toy is incredibly easy to care for. Silicone is one of the easiest materials to care for. It can just be washed with soap and warm water, or you can use your favorite wipes. It should be stored away from other silicone toys as they could deteriorate with extended contact. The pouch that comes with it makes it easy to store. Be sure to avoid the use of silicone lubricants with this wand, as it could also cause deterioration. So, if you need lubrication, stick to water-based lubes.

The Smart Wand comes in a beautifully simple white cardboard box which can be used for storage if you want more than the pouch. Personally, I find the pouch to be perfect. Inside of the white box are also a brooch pin with the insignia logo, which I thought to be a nice touch, and the cord for charging. There is also a user's manual in the box. There is a lot of instruction on how to use the toy, including how to lock and unlock it. I was incredibly impressed with the packaging of this wand and don't want to throw it out!
