Wand vibrators are the oldest sex toys around. From Sex and the City to literally every late-night movie on HBO, you’ve definitely witnessed one before—even if you’ve never used one. They’re meant for clitoral stimulation, and some will even have a flexible head to help you reach the perfect spot. Unbound’s Dex is a compact wand vibrator that takes everything you love about wands, just without the extra inches. Given the lack of functionality that comes with larger wands, from 6-foot-long cords to a clunky size, Dex has the potential to become a go-to wand vibrator for travel, couples play, and solo sex, too.

If you’re looking at the shape of wand vibrators and wondering how to penetrate yourself with this… sorry, girls. Wand vibrators are meant for external stimulation, so they’re best for people who don’t cum from penetrative sex or already have a toy that handles the stroking. Some wand vibrators have attachments that allow you to penetrate yourself, but this one doesn’t. However, Unbound does have a category of wand massagers from the mini wand, Bean, to a larger, classic model, Ollie.

Read my full review of the Unbound Bean mini wand.

It’s smaller, strong as fuck, and definitely works as a travel toy. Given the affordable price (and current sale that drops this to $38), this is a great investment if you’d like a wand vibe and/or travel toy.

Dex Compact Wand (opens in a new window)

what is the dex wand?

The Unbound Dex is a compact wand vibrator that, unlike others, doesn’t vibrate your entire arm. Excessive vibrations can cause a strain on your wrist and arm, especially if you tend to type or use your phone all day. It has 4 speeds and 4 patterns that are all regulated through one button. Now, for the best part: its size. It’s only about 7 inches long, in comparison to other iconic brands like The Magic Wand........
