Why I Chose It

The Neon Wand was my first introduction to electro play, and I think it was the ideal toy to start with!

It’s super easy to use as there is only one twist control that turns the intensity up and down and that’s it. The glass electrodes just slide in and out as well, making it very easy to switch between them.

I was also relieved that the intensity levels were very beginner-friendly. The lower levels are extremely mild and can only be felt as a light tingle, and while the higher levels do give a sharp shock, I found it wasn’t too intense.

This does depend on where it was being used though, as it felt a lot more intense in the more sensitive areas like the vulva and nipples.

The other thing I really love about the Neon Wand is that it glows purple and has this intense buzzing sound that gives it a super intimidating feel that’s just perfect for power play!

How Do Electro Sex Toys Work?

Electro sex toys can seem a little intimidating to the uninitiated. Here we will go through how they work, as well as the advantages, and any risks associated with their use.

How do they work?

How do they work?

How do they work?
How do they work?YouTube play button

E-stim passes low levels of electrical current through the muscles and nerve endings. This mimics the same signals your body uses to naturally get muscles to contract and relax.

 

Most e-stim toys use TENS power units, to send an electrical charge to conductive points on the toy. When these points come into contact with skin, a low level charge is passed through the nerve fibers. This is the same process used for physical e-stim therapy and pain relief.

What are the risks?

Electric stimulation is safe for the body and has been employed for a long time in physiotherapy to build muscle strength and help people recover from injury.

However, there are risks and these should be taken seriously. Electro sex toys are absolutely not suitable for people with heart conditions, pacemakers or pregnant women. They should also only be used on the specific area of body highlighted in the manufacturer’s instructions.

Finally, there is some evidence that such stimulation can cause desensitization of sensitive areas over time. The validity of this concern is contested, however, if you do experience any numbness or lack of feeling, stop using the e-stim toy immediately.

Are there any benefits?

As e-stim has traditionally been used medically as a way to strengthen muscle and recover from injury, there are arguably benefits associated with the use of electro sex toys.

For example, CalExotics has designed their Impulse Intimate range to strengthen Kegel muscles and intensify orgasms. E-stim users have also reported firmer erections, and stronger sphincters.

We don’t personally attest that these results are guaranteed or even likely, though evidence would suggest that it is possible.

The Science Behind Electrical Stimulation

Okay, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of why electro toys can feel like this.

The Basics of Electrical Stimulation

Our bodies naturally use electricity. Nerve impulses are essentially electrical charges that travel along the nerve fibers. These impulses cause muscles to contract and relax, which is how we move and feel sensations. Electro toys create their own electrical signals that stimulate these nerve endings, leading to unique sensations that can be incredibly pleasurable.

When you touch a hot stove, for example, the heat stimulates the nerve endings in your skin, which send an electrical signal to your brain. Your brain interprets this signal as the sensation of heat, and you quickly pull your hand away. Electro toys work in a similar way, but instead of heat, they use electrical currents to stimulate the nerve endings.

The unique sensations caused by electro toys can be difficult to describe, as they’re unlike anything most people have experienced before. Some people describe it as a tingling or buzzing sensation, while others compare it to the feeling of deep vibrations or even muscle contractions. The intensity and quality of these sensations can be adjusted by changing the settings on the power box, allowing you to customize your experience to your liking.

How to Use Electro Toys Safely

While the idea of using electricity for pleasure might sound a bit scary, electro toys are designed with safety in mind. They use very low voltage and current levels, much lower than anything that could cause harm. In fact, the electrical currents used by most electro toys are similar to those used by TENS units. TENS units are usually used as medical devices to relieve pain.

However, like any adult toy, electro toys should be used responsibly and as directed by the manufacturer. Here are some basic safety tips to keep in mind:

  • Never use an electro toy if you have a pacemaker, other electronic medical device, or heart conditions.
  • Always start with the lowest setting, and gradually increase the intensity.
  • Avoid using electro toys above the waist or on the chest area. The electrical current could interfere with your heart’s natural electrical signals.
  • Do not use electro toys on irritated or broken skin, as this could cause further discomfort and injury.
  • Always clean your electro toys before and after use to prevent the spread of bacteria. However, most of them are not 100% waterproof, so be sure to clean them safely. Generally, avoid using electro toys near water. Those two things don’t mix well.

Common mistakes to avoid when using electro toys include using them at too high a setting, using them for too long, or using them in unsafe areas. Remember, the goal is pleasure, not pain. If it feels uncomfortable or painful, stop immediately and adjust the settings or position of the toy.

Is Estim Safe?

Estim is perfectly safe when practiced carefully and appropriately. Here are a few big guidelines to follow when playing safely. Make sure to always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions though before using any new estim device.

At-risk Groups

Certain groups should not use an estim device under any circumstance. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or use a pacemaker an estim toy should not be used.

Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and seek professional medical guidance if unsure.

Where to Use Safely

Most estim devices are unsuitable for use on or above the chest area due to the close proximity to the heart.

Never use estim for nipple play unless expressly deemed suitable by the manufacturer. Estim devices should also never be used around water, such as in the bath or shower.

Licensed Products Only

It is vitally important that you only use toys from recognized and licensed manufacturers such as ElectraStim or Mystim.

Never try to create your own DIY toys as the risk of serious injury is greatly increased when electricity is involved.

Popular types of electro sex toys

There are all kinds of estim toys that you can buy, but let’s take a look at some of the most popular and well-loved options!

  • Stimulation pads – Stick these stimulation pads to your body and feel the electric current running through them. Lose control as you feel the volts buzzing through your body, teasing and pleasing in equal parts! Mystim is a popular brand that has power packs you can attach to stimulation packs or other types of electro sex toys.
  • Wands – For direct stimulation wherever you put it, wands, sometimes called violet wands, are great and magical electric sex toys. They are brilliant and supremely exciting for external stimulation, no matter where you need it!
  • Dildos – Long, short, big, small, straight, curved…dildos can and will please! These phallic-shaped pleasers can be slid in and out however hard, deep, and fast you want! Electric dildos add that extra bit of spice!
  • Butt plugs – Fill your butt with a butt plug! Coming in all shapes and sizes, they fill your back passage up and offer a nice stretch that is a real treat! Add some vibrations, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for pleasure!
  • Prostate massagers – The male prostate is a part of the body that loves massages! When directly stimulated it will really help pump up those orgasms from deep within the body! Magic!
  • Cock rings – Wrapping around your cock and holding it nice and firm, cock rings help you get stronger and harder erections that last for longer. They can even incorporate buzzy vibrations that really takes it to the next level!
