Marital Aid Test Kitchen: Getting Wet And (Sort Of) Wild With The Aqua Wand

Tired of all the bells and whistles on those fancy modern vibrators? Looking for something a little more simple, the kind of vibrator that gets in, gets you off, and shuts off without a whole lot of fuss? The Babeland Aqua Wand may be just what you need. Unlike many of the vibrators we've talked about in this space, the Aqua Wand is incredibly basic. It has two settings: on and off. No adjustable vibrations, no fancy pulse patterns--just a click of a button and a steady, moderately intense vibration. Really, what more do you need?

Well, as with all one trick ponies, this is either really good or really bad. If you like what the Aqua Wand does, you're all set: it's small, thin, and relatively discreet (from a distance, it bears some resemblance to a fancy fountain pen, though up close, no one Is all that likely to be fooled), making it easy to carry around in your purse for all those times when you suddenly find yourself in need of a vibe. It's also waterproof and easy to clean--though since it's made of hard plastic, it shouldn't be shared without a condom. Oh, and at $20, it's pretty cheap.

If the Aqua Wand's one speed doesn't rev your engine, however, none of that is going to mean very much. Unlike its fancier brethren, which can win you over with their multiple settings, the Aqua Wand either has you at hello ... or it's kissing you goodbye before things even have a chance to get started. Oh well. Did we at least mention that it's pretty cheap?
