One of the biggest myths is that violet wands are about pain. Violet wands are more about sensation play, putting out a sensation more like a bubbling or crackling feeling depending on how they're used. It can be startling at first, but there's many techniques to spread out and change intensity.
Violet wands have a simple rule. The more spread out and closer to the skin the wand is, the more sensual it feels. For example, the glass mushroom tip and comb attachments are warmer and softer than the narrower glass attachments in a violet wand kit. The sharper the end, the more hot and focused the intensity. The feeling becomes sharper as the distance between the wand and the skin increases.
The farther you pull away from the body, the more intense the electric arc will be, and you can see the arc bettween the wand and the skin.
We carry a lot of toys to go along with violet wands, but there's also a lot of household items that play well with wands too.
One of the best accessories for a solid state violet wand is the body contact cable, which safely grounds you to the wand. Once connected, you direct the flow of the electricity, going from gentle with a full hand, to a sharper sensation with your fingertips. When using the contact cable, many accessories will still function if you're holding them in your hands. They'll simply have a softer feel. Likewise, if your parter is grounded, any metal or accessory you touch them with will zap them.
Household items you can use along with a conductive cable include tinsel, metal spatulas, light bulbs, jewelry chain, and mylar balloons.
