From it’s humble beginnings as the Hitachi magic wand for normal massage there are now so many wand massagers! And Doxy is used like Hoover with the brand and the product being intertwined. Just be careful trying a Dyson on your clit or cock although that is an idea.
History of the Doxy wand
Here in the UK lots of people talk about Doxy as if something special and unique but actually Doxy is relatively new and sort of a copy of the original Hitachi magic wand from Japan - so many things kinky come from Japan! Shibari, bukkake - say no more. Anyway Hitachi started making magic wand massagers for general health purposes in the 1960’s (actually Mrs Betty just visited a chiropractor and he used a wand-like massager on her back - if only he knew) and it wasn’t long before some pervs realised there might be more sexual uses. The rest is history. Hitachi continued making it until 2013 when it decided to withdraw (oooh matron) as it felt the sexual connotations might damage it brands.
Doxy wands in contrast are relatively new and started being made in the UK in 2013 given the unavailability of Hitachi wands. They have taken over as the number one branded mains powered wand massagers in the UK.
There have been a whole host of other companies making wands, from the cheap and cheerful to the luxury, and the market is now awash with products for all tastes and budgets. You can see the whole range of wand massagers and attachments on our site if you click here but apart from Doxy, there are some beautiful wands from Lelo, like the Lelo Smart Wand, Satisfyer, California Exotic and Bswish.
Doxy wand for solo play
It's goes without saying that wands massagers are great for solo play. In fact Mrs Betty has has an old Doxy that she has used so much it needs to be replaced or at least have the head changed. Anybody know a good online store for Doxy's?
But....it's hard to explain but the wand is not top of the list for Mrs Betty when it comes to toys to play with by herself. She actually prefers her rabbit or one of the little air powered clitoral vibrators like the Satisfyer Pro 2. If DIY playing alone she prefers a gentle clitoral stimulation or her rabbit and then she imagines having a cock inside her and closing her eyes and imagining a certain person (yes Mr. Betty)
That said, we've talked to many lady friends who swear by their Doxy wand for playing alone and love it. We know somebody who bought one recently and she hasn't left her bedroom for days.
Doxy wand for couples and groups
For us the Doxy wand comes into its own when used playing as couple or in groups with others and it has the ability to push Mrs Betty (and others we've played with) over the edge with multiple orgasms and gushing. There is something wonderful about using on other people and having it used on you, exploring the different vibration patterns and taking the power level up from low to mind blowing. It really is the perfect couples toy and a great way to end a long play session or in groups when some are taking a rest :)
Mrs Betty saw a lady in a club, Chameleons in Birmingham. on her first ever visit, being driven wild with a wand. Two guys were feeling and exploring her body and one had a wand. It was mesmerising watching her body aching and the sheer joy on her face as she was teased on and off for an hour.
We have used wands a lot with others. Three cases spring to mind of giving ladies their first wand experiences and the joyous looks on their faces was wonderful. Well a bit of shock and surprise as well and not to mention a few yelps and screams. One lady went straight out and bought one for herself. The others are still stuck to the ceiling or convulsing on a bed somewhere.
So we love to use our wand on others and see their faces showing pure joy and ecstasy and hopefully the same the other way around.
Wand massagers and BDSM
Well, we are a kinky couple and the Doxy has a special place in BDSM play with us and others. Firstly, a wand can be extremely intense and almost painful if used at too high a level too quickly - so this gets into the whole pain/pleasure area of sub/dom activity and pushing limits and having control. Secondly, if a wand can be intense in normal play with bodies thrashing about in pleasure, imagine the sensation when restrained in some way and movement is restricted.
We do this in fairly basic ways with say just hands/wrists tied to bed or standing and tied to somewhere upright or more extreme with Mrs Betty completely tied up and unable to move. In such situations the sensations from the wand are incredible with the body not being able to respond to the pleasure. After one session of being made to orgasm several times while tied, Mrs Betty said "sometimes I can wriggle free but today I couldn't even wriggle an inch" - combined with wand on clit and boom.
This is part of the whole area of forced orgasm for the lady - not having control over when to orgasm or being denied and edged over a long period.
We have experimented with taping the Doxy to Mrs Betty's thigh while restrained and operating in hands free mode. This was quite something and strongly recommend. There are belts out there that can help with this type of thing like this Leather Forced Orgasm Belt.
To state the obvious perhaps, as with any BDSM of course make sure it is consensual and there is a safe word in place. Joking aside there is a real risk of friction burns with extended wand use and nobody wants a burnt clit.
Mains powered wand vs rechargeable wand
Originally all wands from Hitachi and Doxy were mains powered but then various less powerful and generally smaller, lighter and cheaper alternatives popped up. There was and is a place for these but they were not the same as the full power mains alternative. Ratchet one of those up to full power and it is a different world. However, with improvements in technology for batteries and motors that is slowly changing. Still, if you want to be sure of full power then go mains and the standard entry level Doxy is great for that but the high-end rechargeable wands are now just as powerful. There aren't many of them but products like the Lelo Smart Wand 2 are fantastic. Just don't buy a £40 rechargeable and expect the same as a mains powered Doxy.
Magic wands for men
Wands are usually thought of as a toy to use on ladies but really great for men too. Poor men missing out. Mr Betty has used on himself many times to make himself cum - turning the power when placed on the little spot just beneath the head of the penis (frenulum) feels amazing and Mrs Betty loves using on a man - she especially loves using on the area between the anus and balls (perineum) on a low speed and seeing the enjoyment on a man's face. It's great combining this with a blow job (yes more please says Mr. Betty!)
Any wand works for a man of course but there is a new product just out for men - the Bodywand Men's Rechargeable Wand Massager. This includes attachments just for men - more on them below - and is shaped to make it easy for a man to use on himself.
Doxy wand attachments
These little beauties open a whole new world of fast-paced vibration pleasure. If you've got a wand already, a great relatively cheap way to add some more spice. There are so many different options and they fit most standard sized wands.
Now the most obvious is to get a cock sleeve one so the wand can be turned into a men's toy - ladies want to tease your man? :) But there are so many options including attachments for clit, hitting your g-spot, anal play, etc. There is even a bumpy tingle one that looks a bit like Corona virus.

So overall wands are wonderful - give them a go! Please add your own thoughts below or in our Naughty Corner Chat
Oh yes forgot about the TV. One minor problem in the past was that the powerful mains wand interfered with TV and Mrs Betty got some funny lines appearing distorting the picture! :) Thank god those days have passed now with digital TVs.
