[Toy Review] Doxy Die Cast

Published on by Amy3 Comments

I’ve been a pretty major Doxy fangirl ever since I received my first Doxy wand as a 25th birthday gift. (What can I say? Mr C&K is a keeper!) So naturally I wasn’t going to turn down the opportunity to review the Doxy Die Cast, the metal version of the iconic wand.

And holy fuck, y’all.

Doxy Die Cast Wand Massager: Details

Doxy, a British company based in Cornwall, launched in 2013 to be the UK’s answer to the famed Magic Wand, AKA the Hitachi. It’s safe to say they met and exceeded that goal, as Doxy products are now sold and renowned globally.

The Doxy Die Cast is a large, mains-powered wand vibrator. Though similar in design to the Doxy Original, it differs in a few key ways. First, the body is made of metal, and specifically an aluminium/titanium alloy. Second, the head cover is made of a firm silicone. According to the manufacturer, the Doxy Die Cast wand vibrates at speeds of 3000-9000 RPM and offers 56% more intensity than the Doxy Original and 125% more than the Die Cast 3.

Is this the most powerful wand vibrator ever created? It might be.

The Doxy Die Cast measures 37 cm in length. It has a a head diameter of 6 cm, and weighs a hefty 690g. The cable is 3 metres (10 feet) long.

Mine came in a sturdy, zip-up case which is ideal for both transporting it and keeping it safe in storage. However, I believe this was limited edition and they’re now shipped with a storage bag instead. All Doxy products are non-waterproof.

Doxy Die Cast Review: Why I Love This Wand So Much

The Doxy Die Cast is absurdly beautiful. I can’t stop looking at it. There are multiple colourways available, and occasional limited-edition special drops. You can also request a custom wand, if you like. Mine is purple and it’s the most gorgeously bright, vibrant colour.

It has a simple three-button interface, with up/down speed controls. These buttons are easy to press and have LED lights, making them easy to see in low-light environments.

The Doxy Die Cast’s neck is slightly flexible for comfort and easy positioning, but not so flexible it’s impossible to get any decent pressure from it. I can press it firmly into my vulva without it moving annoyingly away.

Most importantly of all, of course, is the power. I could feel every one of those incredible 9000 RPM through the Doxy’s firm silicone head (and surprisingly few of them through the handle, which was a pleasant surprise!) It’s not only strong, but so deeply rumbly that the Doxy Die Cast can get me off through my clothing in a matter of minutes.

Not Just for Clits (And Other Pro Tips)

The Doxy Die Cast was designed with clitoral stimulation in mind, and it does a damn fine job of it. But why stop there? If you have a penis, vibrations can also be intensely pleasurable. Try holding the wand against the underside of your cock, or running it over your whole genital area.

You might also try…

  • …pairing it with a wand attachment, such as a penis stroker or a G-spot attachment
  • …pressing it against the base of a dildo or butt plug for intense internal stimulation
  • …using a wand mount to hold it in place. This can be particularly helpful if the Doxy Die Cast is too heavy for you to hold for long periods of time. For a makeshift version, stack a couple of pillows, put the wand on them, and straddle or lie on top of it. The pillows and your body weight will anchor it in place.

Get creative! There are always numerous ways to use a sex toy.

Doxy Die Cast: Verdict

I knew I was going to love this product, and I love it even more than I expected to. Ten thousand out of ten, Doxy. No notes.

The Doxy Die Cast is available from retailers such as Shevibe, Good Vibes, Babeland, Lovehoney US, Sex Toys UK, and The Pleasure Garden.

[Toy Review] Noje Wand Mini Vibrator

Published on by Amy

Update: The Blush Novelties Noje Wand was originally sent to me by The Pleasure Garden. This version of the Noje Wand is no longer available, but a purple version with two attachments is still available as the Noje Delite from Sex Toys UK, retailing for £53.06. Otherwise, the product appears to be the same.

What is the Blush Novelties Noje Wand?

The Blush Novelties Noje mini wand vibrator is a teeny-tiny little thing. At just 13cm in length, it fits neatly in my hand. It looks like a miniature version of the classic wand vibrator shape, only with a curved handle. Weighing in at just 67g, the Noje Wand is a great choice if heavier toys are difficult for you.

Can we just take a second to acknowledge how pretty this mint/turquoise green shade is?

The body of the toy is ABS plastic and the head is covered with a body-safe silicone cap. This cap pops off and back on easily, so you can wash or sterilise it easily. The Noje Magic Wand is rechargeable via the included magnetic cable and is fully waterproof.

Power: The Noje Wand Packs a Punch

Don’t let the small size fool you – the Blush Novelties Noje Wand has some serious power behind it.

Blush has a track record of using great motors in its toys, and the Noje Wand is no exception. It has ten settings in total, five constant vibration speeds and five patterns. The lower levels start out with a deep rumble, building up to some impressive power at the higher speeds.

Of course, since this toy is so small, you don’t get the same level of broad all-over stimulation that you’d get with a full-size wand. However, if you’re after something a little more focused and a lot easier to hold, a good mini wand like the Blush Noje is a great choice.

Other Design Features

I’m torn on the flexible neck design of this toy. On the one hand, it’s great because it means you can angle the toy precisely and get it exactly where you want it. The downside, though, is that it makes it difficult to get any significant pressure.

The Noje Magic Wand operates on a one-button interface, with the button located on the base of the toy. It is large and easy to press. You hold the button down to switch the toy on, press it to cycle through the patterns and speeds, and hold it down again to switch the toy off. I do wish it had dual-directional controls, as having to cycle through all the speeds to go back one step is always annoying.

The Noje Wand’s battery life is decent. I got about 90 minutes of use out of a full two-hour charge.

It’s pretty quiet, too. If a full-size wand is too noisy for you, a smaller version like this can be a good compromise between volume and power.

One downside I noticed about the Blush Noje Wand is that it gets warm very quickly in use. The head started getting noticeably hot after about only about ten minutes. It wasn’t hot enough to injure me, and the toy continued functioning just fine, but I do worry about what’s happening to the motor underneath if it heats up that fast.

Noje Wand: Verdict

Some imperfections notwithstanding, the Blush Novelties Noje Wand is a winner overall. It packs a lot of power into a small, fairly quiet, and super-cute package that comes at a reasonable price.

[Toy Review] Lovehoney Deluxe Silicone G-Spot Wand Attachment

Published on by Amy

Wand attachments can be a great way to get more from your wand vibrator. They allow you explore different textures, adapt your wand for different body parts, or – in the case of this attachment from Lovehoney – turn your wand into an insertable.

Lovehoney G-Spot Wand Attachment

Feat. Lovehoney Classic Wand

The Deluxe Silicone G-Spot Wand Attachment is a silicone cap that fits over any standard-sized wand vibrator. It has a dildo-style appendage for penetration. There are also some gentle nubs on the base designed to stimulate the clitoris once the shaft is inserted.

The insertable length is 5″ and the diameter is a slimline 1.1″. The shaft is completely smooth with no bumps, ribbing or texture.

The G-Spot Wand Attachment is made of body-safe silicone, which is also easy to clean. Using attachments is one way to avoid direct contact with your wand if it has a porous head or to keep things safe if you’re sharing a toy with a partner.

Remember: this attachment is waterproof, but your wand probably isn’t!

G-Spot Wand Vibrator Attachment In Use

I have had to conclude, after numerous attempts, that I don’t like strong vibrations internally. They are consistently far more uncomfortable and painful than pleasurable for me. So I cannot honestly say I enjoyed using this attachment.

However, this doesn’t mean it’s a bad product. It’s not for me due to my body and preferences, but I’m sure it would work well for plenty of people. I do like the slim and smooth shaft design, and I’m sure if I enjoyed internal vibrations this wouldn’t be so wasted on me.

Do I Recommend It?

If you enjoy (or think you might enjoy) strong internal vibrations and are looking to turn your wand into an insertable toy, you can’t go wrong. If you already own a wand and aren’t sure whether or not you’d enjoy vibrations internally, this is also a relatively inexpensive way to try it out.

The Deluxe G-Spot Wand Attachment retails for £19.99 from Lovehoney UK or $24.99 from Lovehoney US.

[Toy Review] Lovehoney Hummer Penis Masturbator Wand Attachment

Published on by Amy

There are things that are a given when it comes to being in a relationship with me. You must have coffee in the house. I will make puns at you. And now, it seems, I will probably at some point ask you to put strange things on your genitals so that I can overshare about it on the internet. #DoingItForTheReaders. Thankfully, my stunt cock Mr C&K is a good sport, so he agreed to try out the Hummer, a masturbator wand attachment marketed primarily to cis men, so I could bring this review to you all.

“Wand Attachment for Men”: A Note on Terminology

The Hummer wand attachment is described as a toy for men. However, I have chosen to use the gender-neutral language instead, referring to “people with penises” and this toy as a “masturbator“. Gender isn’t defined by genitals.

I would like to invite all sex writers and sex-positive retailers to consider their language in this area and not ascribe genders to body parts or toys unnecessarily.

Hummer Masturbator Wand Attachment

Cis men and other people with penises often assume wand vibrators aren’t for them. It’s true that wands and wand attachments are primarily designed with vulvas and clitorises in mind. However, first of all, wands are for everyone and can feel good on any body part that enjoys the sensation of vibration. Secondly, this is where attachments come in. The right attachments can adapt your wand vibrator for use in various different ways.

The Lovehoney Hummer has a cap that sits over the head of the wand and a tube to insert the penis. When the vibrator is turned on, it transmits the sensations all along the user’s shaft. The Hummer’s tube is lined with ridges and little nodules for addiional stimulation.

The Hummer will fit the majority of wand vibrators. We used it with my Lovehoney Classic Wand and it was perfect, but it will also fit the Magic Wand Original, Doxy Original or Die Cast, and most standard-sized wands. It has a diameter of 2.2″ and is very stretchy, meaning it will accommodate the vast majority of penises.

A Note on Materials and Care

The Hummer masturbator attachment is made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). TPE is technically non-toxic in that it doesn’t contain known harmful additives such as phthalates. However, TPE is porous. This means it will harbour mold and bacteria, can only be cleaned at a surface level, and cannot ever be fully sterilised. The material will also become unstable and break down over time.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of masturbators and wand attachments for people with penises are made of TPE or a similar material.

I’m less opposed to TPE for penis toys than I am for insertable toys. The outer skin of the penis is much less likely to pick up an infection than a mucous membrane such as the inside of the vagina or anus. However, I still recommend approaching TPE products with caution and always choosing silicone instead where options exist.

If you get a TPE wand attachment or masturbator like this one, you should clean it with gentle soap and warm water and allow it to dry thoroughly. Do not boil TPE. Check your toy for mold, black spots, or visible damage to the material before every use. With infrequent use, it might last a year. If you’re using it more often, though, I recommend replacing it every few months. Don’t share a TPE toy even if you and your partner normally engage in fluid exchange.

Hummer Masturbator Wand Attachment: In Use

In terms of experience in-use, the Hummer attachment was an absolute hit with Mr C&K.

He needed plenty of lube to slide the Hummer over his cock comfortably. The material is stretchy, but it’s also quite “grabby” so I recommend lubricating the toy generously regardless of your penis size. Water-based lube is your best for TPE toys.

When we switched on the wand, I was immediately impressed with the strength of my partner’s reaction. He described it as “like a wrap-around Doxy.” After reaching orgasm in record time, he declared the Hummer “surprisingly effective!”

For user experience alone, top marks from both of us.

Lovehoney Hummer: Verdict

My ultimate verdict on this one is mixed.

I’m loathe to wholeheartedly endorse a TPE toy due to the porous material. I’d love to see someone create a version of this made of silicone. With that said, neither of us can fault how enjoyable it was in use.

If you’re willing to replace it every few months, have at it. If you want something that’ll last you forever, this unfortunately isn’t it.

The Hummer masturbator wand attachment retails for $19.99 from Lovehoney US and £19.99 from Lovehoney UK.

Magic Wand Original review header featuring the toy lying on a pile of towels

[Toy Review] Vibratex Magic Wand Original AKA “The Hitachi”

Published on by Amy

Yes, it’s finally time for a Magic Wand (formerly the Hitachi Magic Wand or simply “Hitachi”) review! Readers and workshop participants often ask me for wand vibrator recommendations, and I did not feel as though I could give a fully informed opinion without trying the so-called “Cadillac of vibrators.” The Magic Wand Original is notoriously hard to come by in the UK. However, a kind US contact was able to hook me up.

The Magic Wand is the toy that started it all when it comes to wand-style massagers. This product was originally sold as a “personal massager” for sore muscles. It was Betty Dodson – artist, educator, masturbation connoisseur, and inimitable vibrator peddler extraordinaire – who popularised the Magic Wand as a tool for masturbation. Since then, there have been countless copycats and imitations, plenty of them terrible and some of them even unsafe. But the Magic Wand still reigns supreme as the most famous and sought-after vibrator of them all.

The Magic Wand Original wand vibrator

Okay, that’s enough of a history lesson. Let’s crack on with the review.

The Magic Wand Original comes packaged in a simple blue and white box with a picture of the product on the outside. This has changed remarkably little from the original packaging of the 1960s, except that the “Hitachi” name has been removed. (The company removed their name from the product in 2013, though continued to manufacture it after persuasion from distributor Vibratex).

The Magic Wand is 12″ long in total and weighs 540g. This puts it on the heavier side. If you struggle to hold heavy things or have a condition such as arthritis, you may want to take the weight and size of the thing into account. A good option for those who want to use a powerful wand but struggle to hold or manipulate it is to use a wand mount.

Vibratex (Formerly Hitachi) Magic Wand Original Review: Details

The body of the Magic Wand Original is made of plastic. The head appears to be PVC, though some retailers list it as TPE. Either way, the material is likely to be somewhat porous. This means it will harbour bacteria and is impossible to truly 100% clean. What this means, in practice, is that your Magic Wand probably won’t last forever. It also means you shouldn’t share it without a barrier.

One option is to buy an attachment made of silicone. Alternatively, if you upgrade to the Magic Wand Rechargeable, the head of that one is silicone.

This is a mains-operated toy and comes with a cable measuring approximately 5 feet in length. If you’re outside of North America, you’ll need a suitable converter to use it safely in your location.

Wand Review: So, Does the Famed “Hitachi” Live Up To Its Name?

I’m sure what anyone reading a Magic Wand review really wants to know is “is it actually as powerful as people say?” Fans of the Magic Wand like to say it has 2 settings: High, and Holy-Fucking-Shit.

So yes, if what you want is power and a lot of it, this toy delivers. There are no patterns and no finely graded settings, so if that’s what you need, give this one a miss. But for pure power alone, it’s a solid bet. 

The Magic Wand’s vibrations felt rumbly and penetrating. It’s loud, but then again most wands are. Someone in the next room can easily hear it, so bear this in mind if you’ve got roommates or family at home. Discreet this thing is not.

The Magic Wand Original is operated by a simple one-button interface.

Perhaps surprisingly, though, my overall review of the Magic Wand Original isn’t an unqualified and glowing endorsement. Powerful? Yes. But despite that, I found myself annoyed by both the softness of the head and the flexibility of the neck. When I’m playing with a really powerful toy like this one, I want to be able to push it hard against my vulva and feel the vibrations everywhere.  The bendy neck made it difficult to get the level of purchase I really desired. In this regard, it loses out to the Doxy Number 3 with its rigid silicone head and less flexible neck.

Magic Wand Original Review Verdict: Worth the Hype?

The Magic Wand Original is perhaps the most hyped sex toy of all time, and tends to retail for between $70 and $90 depending on the retailer. Is it worth it?

Yes and no.

The Magic Wand Original is a very powerful toy. However, if you’ve got this kind of money to throw at a wand vibe, I have to say that I think the Doxy is a better investment. The Magic Wand Original loses major points from me for the porous head and the overly flexible neck.

In the final analysis? I enjoyed it just fine, but I was less blown away than I hoped and expected to be. I’d like to review the Magic Wand Rechargeable to see how that stacks up, so get in touch if you can hook me up.

The Magic Wand Original is available from Good Vibes, Babeland, and Lovehoney US.

[Toy Review] BOB Pink Allure Wand

Published on by Amy

Regular readers will know by now that I love wand vibrators. I’m pretty much obsessed with them. No other toys hit the spot for me in quite the same way. So I was pretty excited when Too Timid toys offered me their Allure Wand vibrator to review.

When I first received this toy and wrote the review, this toy was named the BOB Allure Wand. BOB stands for (wait for it) “battery operated boyfriend.” To which, I just… no. nope. Absolutely the fuck not.

Say it with me: toys are not boyfriends! Toys are not replacements for partners! Sex toys and partners occupy completely different spaces and functions in a person’s life! Mercifully, several years later, this godforsaken stupid name seems to have been ditched and now it’s just the “Allure Wand.” Much better.

Too Timid Toys Allure Wand Review: Details

My first impression of the Too Timid Allure Wand when I took it out of the packaging is that it’s really, really light. Ridiculously light for its size, really. This could be a really significant plus for those who find the heavier models too cumbersome.

TooTimid Allure Wand, a pink plastic wand vibrator with 3 buttons, a silicone head, and a white power cable
Image: TooTimid

The Allure Wand is mains powered and the cord is a massive 9ft long. The toy itself is about 12″ long and the classic wand shape. It boasts 20 different speeds and pattern settings.

Sadly, the epic array of settings, long cord, and light weight are about all the positive things I can say about this wand. In use, I found it… mediocre and forgettable, if I’m being generous.

The head has a silicone cap, which is body-safe. (It’s definitely silicone, it passed the flame test.) It’s a really weird silicone, though. It feels what I can only describe as rough and grainy. Under the silicone cap are foam inserts, for some reason. I suspect this is a money-saving technique but the overall effect is of the product being cheap and low-quality, not to mention unsanitary. Those inserts are bacteria traps from hell, seriously. The body is ABS plastic.

As of 2025, the Allure Wand retails for $99.95 at TooTimid. At around $20 more expensive than the iconic Magic Wand Original, this is ludicrously expensive for such a low quality product.

Too Timid Wand Review: In Use

I can juuuuuuust about get off with the Allure Wand if I crank it up to the top setting, but it’s not a toy I find enjoyable or pleasurable to use. The vibrations are reasonably strong but they’re also very buzzy. After a while, my vulva and clit felt semi-numb and tingly. It took me about 40 minutes to orgasm with it, which is a pretty poor show for a wand vibe (the good ones can get me off in two on a good day.)

Since I feel like I need to find something positive to say in my first Too Timid review, the Allure Wand’s buttons are intuitively placed, press easily, and make a nice satisfying “click”. The flexible neck is really annoying to me because I like to be able to press a toy hard against my body, but for others it might be a nice touch. This is purely a matter of preference.

The noise level is reasonable. However, I did notice that the head got a little warm after about 30 minutes of continuous use, so you might want to bear this in mind if you like to use your wands for lengthy sessions.

Too Timid Allure Wand: Verdict

Overall, I’m incredibly unimpressed. This toy is poorly made, poor quality, and hilariously overpriced. It feels like it’s about to either fall apart or catch fire any second. Safe to say it did not rock my world.

Looking for a great wand vibrator? The We-Vibe Wand 2, Lovense Domi 2, or anything by Doxy are great choices.

Thanks to Too Timid for sponsoring this review! All views are, and will always be, my own.

[Toy Review] Lovehoney Mantric Wand Vibrator

Published on by Amy

I love wands. They’re pretty much my favourite kind of toy. So of course, I jumped at the chance to test out the Mantric Wand from the Lovehoney Mantric range.

What is the Lovehoney Mantric Wand?

The Mantric Wand is a small rechargeable wand vibrator measuring 9.5″ long and with a head circumference of 5.4″. It has 7 modes or patterns of vibration, and each one can work on any of five speed settings. The handle has a slight curve and the head is the classic wand vibrator shape.

The Mantric Wand It is made of black silicone. It also features an LED light panel on one side of the handle which changes colour depending on which setting you’re on.

It is USB rechargeable, fully waterproof, has a travel-lock, and comes attractively packaged in an minimalistic brown cardboard box with the Mantric branding on the front. At first glance, the Mantric logo looks like an abstract mandala. Then, when you look closer, you see it’s made of penises and vulvas. Frankly, I’m into it.

The Lovehoney Mantric Wand In Use

Even though my most-reached-for toy is my Doxy ultra-powerful wand vibrator, it doesn’t always lend itself super well to being used on me by a partner. It’s so intense that it can quickly becomes painful if it’s even slightly in the wrong spot, and the size of the head makes that challenging. Smaller, rechargeable wands like the Mantric Wand can be a good in-between. It’s powerful enough to get me off, but not so powerful that absolute precision is required.

The Mantric Wand is very light, and the ergonomic handle and intelligent button placement makes it easy to hold and use. One gripe I have, though, is that turning it on is not intuitive at all. You have to press the middle of the three buttons, which puts it into “standby” mode, then press it again, then pick the setting you want. I’ll probably keep the instructions for this one because, if I don’t use it for a bit, I can see myself forgetting how to switch it on.

The second annoyance is that you can only change the settings one way. So if you skip past the one you want, you have to cycle all the way back through them all again.  You can change the speeds up or down, which is a plus, but in terms of changing the pattern it’s up up up only.

The Mantric Wand is waterproof and submersible. This makes it easy to clean and makes it suitable for use in the bath, if that’s your thing. There is a seam where the plastic band meets the head and handle, which could trap bacteria, so don’t neglect this area when you clean it. It also doesn’t come with a storage bag, which I would expect with a toy of this price-point.

In terms of intensity, the Mantric Wand isn’t bad for its price and size. The motor is reasonably rumbly at the lower levels, though it does get buzzier as you turn it up. This is a fine toy for those who like mid-level intensity but not one for those who crave high-powered rumbles.

Verdict

The Lovehoney Mantric wand £69.99/$79.99, which is a pretty middle-of-the-road price for a pretty middle-of-the-road toy. It’s fine but not amazing; I enjoyed using it but I’d like to see a second edition released to iron out some of the usability issues.
