Cutey Wand

I don’t own very many wands. There used to be, like, two: the Hitachi and the Hitachi knockoff. Now, there’s a lot. There’s luxury ones, rechargeable wands and mini options, like the Cutey Wand. So, the Cutey Wand. It’s tiny and got little jewels on the end. I’ll give it cute. I’ll give it wand-shaped. The naming isn’t spectacular by any means, but it’s not quite as annoying as we’ve all seen.
When I say tiny, I mean slightly longer than my finger. This is a pretty travel-friendly toy, if you only consider size. There dial base isn’t the easiest to accidentally turn on while sitting in your purse, but there’s no lock feature. Like the larger cousins, the Cutey Wand has a flexible head. It’s extremely flexible, in fact. You might not like this if you like a lot of pressure, which I do.
The head has a soft silicone casing with ridges along the side. I have to be honest, I’m not sure what the ridges are supposed to do. They’re visually interesting.. sort of, but they don’t add anything. I’m more likely to use the very top of the head or maybe the top edge. The head doesn’t have as much of a surface area as a larger wand, but I’m probably going to hold it in place rather than move it so I can feel the texture. It’s also potentially a place for you to miss when cleaning the wand, which is a bit frustrating.
However, cleaning is much easier, because the Cutey Wand is water resistant. You don’t want to try to drown it, but you can breathe easy that you’re not going to break if it you rinse of some gunk under the faucet. This is thanks to the O-ring at the end of the battery compartment, which easily screws on.
And those batteries? They’re six watch batteries. If they fall out, it’s really a hassle to get them back in there. You might consider just throwing it away once you use up the batteries, because it’s such a pain. Because the wand uses tiny watch batteries that won’t last forever, I can see this being the type of vibe that winds up in the bottom of some drawer after you use up the included batteries. It’s probably not a good selling point, but it’s true.
Those six batteries take up enough space that Blush Novelties could’ve just used a single AAA or AA. That would probably offer more power. The vibrations are advertised as powerful, but they’re quite buzzy. The few extra batteries are an improvement over those tiny bullets, but there’s not enough variation between the lower and highest settings. Of course, this one doesn’t have any pulsation or other settings, which is fine by me. I usually find them forgettable.
So, aside from size, I’m not really floored by the cutey wand. At the very least, I want something stronger, and even if I were okay with the vibrations, the sheer number of required batteries is ridiculous. I mean, you have to buy two threes backs every time your vibrator dies. That’s not cool, man, not cool.
Is it just me or has there been a lot of new Hitachi knockoffs on the market lately? I’m not sure why these companies even bother…there’s a reason why the Hitachi has been the #1 vibrator since the ’70s!
thanks for the review of our product. I just want to provide a little information about our product. All common batteries [except for the 9 volt] has a power output of 1.5 volts. whether its a AAA or AG13 in this case it puts out 1.5 volts of power. having 6 AG13 batteries inside this product gives the motor 9 Volts of power to work off of. all this power yet the batteries take up less space than 1 AAA! This allowed us to produce a compact vibrator that anyone can easily fit in their purse. Cost of AG13 batteries are very inexpensive these days. you can buy packs of 6 or 12 for just $1 at the local dollar store. one can even find them on amazon.com for 50 pieces for under $5! We also make batteries that sell for next to nothing and are available at most adult stores that carry Blush products.
Thanks for your comment, eric. I understand that that if you look at the numbers it might be the same power output, but it’s more convenient to use a single AAA because more people have them lying around. Insertion is simply easier, too. Were it a AAA, I’d still find it lacking in power and too buzzy, however. Vibrators simply must have more powerful than that to have any use for me — even if they’re convenient for travel.
I love my cutey!!!!! It’s way easier to use with my partner than my Hitachi. Not to mention, it’s more convenient. I was apprehensive about it because of the size. I prefer stronger vibes and my little cutey did not disappoint me!
Okay, I have had my CuteyWand since this summer. And it is not working!!! I’ve only had it a few months, so what could be the cause of this?!?! I just bought new batteries tonight, and I put them in it, but it still won’t work!!! Help me!
I would check that the batteries are inserted correctly but, to be honest, it seems like a cheap POS that would easily break. Maybe try contacting the company?
I got it at a local “toy” store. I checked the batteries, and they are inserted correctly, but when I opened it, I looked inside where those metal pieces are “the strips that make it work” that are on the inside, and it only has one. Is it supposed to have two? Idk how one could have came out.
