The heir to the cult masseur, SmartWand Lelo vibrator

DIVERSITY AND IMPROVE YOUR SEXUAL LIFE It can be different, and for this, in particular, there are many gadgets - so many that their assortment is easy to get confused. Especially for Wonderzine, various toys, accessories and special tools are regularly tested by a sex blogger, an incorruptible expert and possessor of an excellent sense of humor Tatiana Nikonova.

Lelo's SmartWand, an ideological follower of the most recent Hitachi Magic Wand. Years go by, and instead of a device with a 1.5 m power cord and only two speeds, we get a device with modern technologies that is easy to use and wash.

SmartWand has two main uses: masturbation and massage. And in order, and for another, the gadget has a whole set of functions, controlled by just three buttons. The device turns on when you press the "+" button, it also increases the intensity of vibration. It is turned off with the "-" button, with it the intensity of vibration decreases. The middle button switches the modes with different patterns of vibration and pulsation, all eight of them - enough to occupy oneself with the possibilities for a couple of weeks.

However, the main thing that makes SmartWand a great device for interacting with your own body is the built-in Sensetouch mode, to turn it on or off, hold the middle button for about five seconds. In this mode, the vibrator barely trembles, and after a minute, if nothing happens, it turns off completely. However, if you touch them to the body, the intensity increases: the stronger the pressure, the stronger the vibration.

It turns out that to change the impact you do not need to switch modes and mess around with the buttons, just press the vibrator on your shoulder or other nice place harder. This is the most convenient mode for massage, when preliminary warming up with a weak vibration for a couple of minutes and only after that a more serious effect is required. Massage can be managed intuitively, as if you were using your hands, not a device.

SmartWand automatically remembers the previous mode and when turned on it turns out in it. If someone in your absence decided to massage his side without your knowledge, you will definitely know about it. But if the toy is used for masturbation and sex games, then this is the subject of individual use - the household will have to get used to the idea that the massager is just yours.

For masturbation, you can use Sensetouch (press harder before you arrive), and any other modes; Especially you should pay attention to the pulsating - they will do everything themselves, and your hands will remain free. SmartWand is extremely powerful, so you can even use it through a cloth, such as underwear or clothing — which means you can use it with people with whom you did not plan to exchange fluids. I did not manage to put a condom on the toy in such a way that I did not slip under the vibration, but my jeans would completely cope with the role of a barrier.

Vibration is useful for caressing any place on the body - especially the nipples, clitoris, scrotum and the place in the perineum between the anus and the testicles. I really do not recommend putting it inside, it hurts a lot. The device is waterproof, which means you can take a bath and shower. And in the bath does not necessarily touch the device to the perineum. Place it between your legs and turn it on at full power: the waves triggered by vibration will gently and evenly affect the clitoris, tender sensations are like oral sex. And put a rolled towel under your head - the body behaves differently during orgasm, you can involuntarily hit your head on the edge of the bath.

SmartWand is available in three colors: white (for the most accurate), black and purple, all with a "golden" panel on the handle. In three sizes: I took the largest (Large), it is quite comfortable, weighs 400 g, which is smaller than the Hitachi Magic Wand, but still pretty. If you do not want to hold almost half a kilo in your hand or are thinking of taking a vibrating massager on trips, it is better to stop at the Medium version. In addition to the length and weight, the vibrator head is also smaller, but this has virtually no effect on the quality of work with the body. In addition to the device itself, the box also includes a multilingual instruction manual (read in English, there are errors in the Russian version), a charger, a card with a registration number and a storage case. The case contains all of the above, and a tube of lubricant will fit in - all in one place.

Life hacking and safety:

If you are pregnant, you have a pacemaker installed, there is phlebitis, diabetes mellitus or a high risk of thrombosis, first consult with your doctor about the possibility of using a vibrating massager - its use may increase the risk of blood clotting.

SmartWand is not a medical device, so when planning a massage, consult a professional masseuse about the techniques, or simply do not move away from the areas that you routinely and effectively massage with your hands. Usually these are shoulders, a neck connection with shoulders, and other places where tension and fatigue due to office work occur. Never use the vibrator directly on the spine, on the throat and chest - it is not safe.

To calibrate the Sensetouch mode, turn it on, press it with a vibrator, for example, on your hand - in five seconds the device will pick up the maximum vibration. If this level is unsatisfactory, use the "+" and "-" buttons to find the appropriate intensity.

For masturbation, you will need a large amount of lubricant to avoid unpleasant sensations, take a water-based lubricant - a greasy or silicone base destroys the silicone surface of the device. Water-based lubricant is easily washed off the body with water, even without soap. It is not necessary to get smeared with something for massage - be guided by your own feelings.

A satin or neoprene case for storing and transporting is included with SmartWand. Neoprene is more practical: tight, keeps its shape and softens the blow if you drop the device, but the satin looks luxurious. If you do not care how to store the device, check with the store with which case you will be offered it - you will not be able to return the sex toy to the seller.

To clean your SmartWand, use warm water with soap or special cleansers that are sold in sex shops, but never improvised alcohol-containing liquids - ruin the surface of the toy. SmartWand is waterproof and practically free of gaps into which dust can accumulate, therefore it can be cleaned in a matter of seconds. To charge the device, first wait for complete drying.

The SmartWand charges from the mains using an attached DC-powered charger; this can take a couple of hours. While charging is in progress, the LED on the toy handle flashes. When the device is fully charged, the diode begins to shine evenly. The device is delivered discharged, so after purchase, first charge.

To protect yourself from being accidentally turned on in your luggage while traveling (or so that other inhabitants of your apartment do not use your vibrator in secret from you), you can block SmartWand. To do this, hold down the "+" and "-" buttons simultaneously for five seconds, now the toy cannot be turned on. To unlock, repeat the operation. When the device is set to charge, the lock is reset.

Lelo offers a one-year warranty on its devices and a ten-year commitment to sell a new toy at a 50% discount, if before your device breaks for reasons beyond your control (that is, it breaks itself, and not you tried to disassemble it or break it against the wall).
