The One is a new brand of sex toys exclusively stocked in the UK at sextoys.co.uk. (Readers elsewhere in the world can find the products in a number of stockists including Babeland and Good Vibes!) I received a few items from the collection to try out, so I’m going to be telling you all about them over the next few weeks. First up: The One Wand.

What is The One Wand?

The One Wand is a cordless wand vibrator measuring 9″ in total length. The head measures 1.7″ across at the widest point, and the neck is flexible. It is made of body-safe silicone and is waterproof, though the specific IPX rating is not listed.

The One Wand is rechargeable, with a battery life of around 90 minutes for a two hour charging time.

I really like cordless wand vibrators; they’re a more versatile alternative to their mains-powered counterparts. You do usually lose at least a bit of power in exchange for not having to plug them in, but that can be a worthwhile trade-off in some cases.

Let’s see how this one stacked up, shall we?

The One Wand: Pros

Before (spoiler alert) I start complaining about this toy’s complete inability to make me cum, let’s look at the good things I can say about it!

• The silicone is soft, smooth, and a really pretty shade of purple.
• The motor is located in the head. This means that the vibrations are strongest in the part of the toy that will actually go on your body. It also means that the transmission of vibrations through the handle is minimal.
• It’s actually quiet. So many toys claim to be quiet, but this one genuinely is.
• The curved handle is comfortable to hold and fits naturally into my hand.
• When I hold the toy in the most natural position to press it against my vulva, the buttons are perfectly located to reach and push them with no additional effort.
• It has a three-button interface, allowing you to scroll through the settings (3 speeds and 7 patterns) both ways. The third button, in the middle, is the on/off switch.

The One Wand: Cons

The marketing copy describes this as “the One – and only – Wand you will ever need.” Which is a cute play on the toy’s and the brand’s name, but also… wildly untrue. When I look for a vibrator, the very first thing I look for is “will it get me off?” This one, sadly, falls at the first hurdle.

The One Wand’s motor leaves a lot to be desired. The vibrations are weak, even on the highest setting, and so buzzy that my clit starts going numb after less than a minute. I quickly realised that there was absolutely no way The One Wand was ever going to give me an orgasm. I pushed through and persevered, but it just isn’t going to happen.

The neck is also really too flexible. This means it is hard to get any significant pressure (an even bigger downside when the vibrations are so lacklustre.)

Verdict

Unfortunately I was extremely underwhelmed by this one. If you like low-level and buzzy vibrations, sure, you might get on okay with this. But if you like any significant level of power or rumbles, don’t bother.

The One Wand retails for £46.86 at Sex Toys UK and £79.95 at Good Vibes and Babeland at the time of writing, which is far too expensive for a toy of this quality. Skip it, and get an actually good cordless wand instead.
