My Wicked Game wand by So Divine was a last-minute win at the end-of-Eroticon raffle, and I was excited to try it out as wand style vibrators are always a firm favourite with me. This lovely little thing was no exception.
First, some facts…
The Wicked Game is a small-ish wand compared to the heft of the traditional wand design. It measures 9.5 inches from end to end, and has a gentle curve – that’s because it’s double ended, effectively making it both a clitoral wand and a G-spot vibrator in one. (Though, sadly, both cannot vibrate at the same time). The head is 1.5 inches across and the widest part of the insertable end is about the same – this is not one for girth lovers! This toy is waterproof and USB-rechargeable.
My experience…
I tried the Wicked Game out at the club with Mr CK, with him using it on me. I hadn’t had an orgasm for about 3 days before this session, but I’m not convinced that makes too much of a difference, apart from possibly making me get off quicker than I would otherwise have. My bits likes what they like; they just gets a little more receptive when it’s been a while.
What I love about this toy is that it’s really versatile. Both ends vibrate (though not, as I mentioned, at the same time. You have to pick one or the other!) so you can use it for either external stimulation or as an insertable. All in one toy! Nice, no? It also has ten different vibration modes – 3 constant speed settings and 7 pulsing patterns.
I don’t really like patterns of vibration – give me the constant setting any day! That said, some of the Wicked Game’s patterns were surprisingly not-terrible. My favourite is the pulse setting that ramps slowly up, hits a peak and then drops down again. I love being teased (or teasing myself) into a frenzy and this setting does exactly that. For a quicker orgasm, though, the highest of the 3 constant speeds is definitely my preferred setting.
Now this is where things get really interesting. Mr CK made me come with this toy – twice in an afternoon – really easily. Normally, someone else getting me to come is pretty difficult (possible, but difficult,) even if they’re using a toy I really love. Again: I have a picky clitoris.
I love my Doxy more than life – it is my favourite toy and one of my favourite possessions, period. But I come a lot more reliably when I use it on myself than when someone else holds it. Yet the Wicked Game is less powerful, but for some reason seems much more effective in giving me orgasms when in someone else’s hands.
My theory is thus: the Doxy is SUPER CRAZY POWERFUL, to the point that if it’s in the wrong spot – even slightly – it can become unpleasant or even painful extremely quickly. When I’m holding it myself, I know exactly what my body needs and can react accordingly, but my partners – wonderful and attuned to me though they are – do not actually live in my head. Or my clitoris. The Wicked Game, though pretty powerful itself, is significantly gentler than the mains-powered wands and so I can squirm against it, adjust it if needed, and let my partner know if it needs moving to a different spot before it becomes painful or unpleasant and throws me off my “groove.”
In short, I think this toy might be the sweet spot where “powerful enough to make me come” meets “gentle enough to have someone else use on me without discomfort.” I would absolutely recommend this for any vulva-owning person who likes mid-intensity vibrations. I would particularly suggest the Wicked Game as a perfect first vibrator because the experience is so very customisable. Don’t know if you like internal or external stimulation, hard persistent vibrations or soft pulsing? No problem – with this, you can try them all out with one toy.
Incidentally: it’s also one of those rare toys that advertises itself as quiet and is actually quiet. I gave up caring about people knowing I’m wanking years ago, but this feature might be of interest to those of you with roommates and/or family at home.
My Ratings (all scores out of 5★)
Price: ★★★★
At £54.99 RRP it’s not a steal and may be outside of some budgets, but it’s still cheaper than some of the really high-end toys on the market and with the amount of functions it comes with, it’s well worth the price. You can even buy one in Boots!
Materials: ★★★★★
Lovely silicone. Soft, smooth and safe.
Appearance: ★★★★★
It’s a lovely, classy and stylish looking toy that comes in pink or purple colour options. Mine, of course, is purple. (My understanding is that the pink version is called Sweetest Taboo instead of Wicked Game, but is functionally identical.)
Ease of Use: ★★★★
The buttons are a little hard to press – especially in the, uh, throes of passion – but apart from that, the controls are pretty intuitive. There is an on/off button and buttons to cycle through the settings and switch between the internal and external settings. Nice and simple. Plus it’s light, so easy to hold – a good choice for someone who wants a wand style toy but would find holding a really heavy one difficult.
Ease of care & cleaning: ★★★★★
Easy to wipe clean between uses – I recommend a body-safe sterile wipe available in bulk from medical suppliers. It’s waterproof, too, so can be submerged for a more thorough cleaning with gentle soap and warm water. For safer sex purposes if you share your toys, it’s condom-friendly in shape and material.
Versatility: ★★★★★
The Wicked Game has two ends, one insertable and one external, and ten different settings – 3 speeds and seven pulse patterns. Totally versatile depending on what you like and what you’re in the mood for today. It’s also waterproof, if wanking in the bath is your thing. Pro-tip: though it’s designed for vulvas, many penis-owners really enjoy vibrations on the head or shaft of their cock. Mr CK heartily endorses this toy for that purpose!
Intensity: ★★★★
I can’t give this five starts because it is noticeably less powerful than other toys on the market. Even though it’s not as intense as I typically like my vibes, though, it does get major props for hitting the sweet spot between “meh, not intense enough” and “DON’T MOVE IT A MILLIMETRE OR IT WILL HURT.”
Overall Score: ★★★★
Yeah, I love this vibe! My main issue with it is wishing the head and shaft could vibrate at the same time, which would open up some interesting partnered play possibilities. Other than that, though, it’s a ringing endorsement from me!
Go get yourself one.
