What Is a Violet Wand?

A violet wand is a low current, high frequency electrical device that, when touched to the skin, creates a sensation that many people find enjoyable. Wands can be purchased from specialty stores or online.

Basics

Violet wands are used by people as an added element of sensual stimulation in their sex lives. Though they are related to such things as high frequency devices for scalp/hair growth stimulation and plasma balls, their only application is as a sex toy.

Design

The wand consists of a handle, a transformer and an electrode. The transformer, which sends electricity to the electrode, can be controlled by a knob on the handle. The electrode is the part of the wand that is brushed over the skin.

Electrodes

Electrodes look like glass tubes or bulbs attached to the handle and transformer. They give violet wands their name: The electrode is usually purple, though they can be made in other colors.

Electrode Types

Violet wands differ in their appearance due to the different type of electrode. One variation is a "rake" configuration that distributes the electrical sensation stimulated by the wand. Other available styles include phallic and hook shapes.

What it Does

The purpose of a violet wand is to shock a person with varying levels of electrical output--and varying levels of enjoyment from the sensation. Output can be modified to feel tingly or shocking.
