Go Ahead and Shower With the New Waterproof Magic Wand

Go Ahead and Shower With the New Waterproof Magic Wand

New York Times10-06-2025

Versions of the iconic Magic Wand have been our top-pick vibrator for more than a decade. And now, for its latest trick, the Magic Wand is waterproof.
The Magic Wand Waterproof is distributor Vibratex's answer to a shortcoming of previous versions — you can't shower or bathe with them, or run them under a faucet for easier cleaning.
Compared with previous versions, this newest model also has a stronger, more rumbly level-four 'high' setting. In our experience, it feels like the most powerful Magic Wand yet.
Expect to pay extra for these features. If a waterproof toy is important to you, or if you crave even more intensity, it may well be a worthwhile investment.
This is a waterproof version of our longtime top-pick vibrator. It's rechargeable and can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes, which also means it is easier to clean than other Magic Wand models.
No other toy matches the power and intensity of the widely beloved Magic Wand. The intense stimulation it provides can be particularly helpful for people experiencing diminished libido or sensitivity.

No other toy matches the power and intensity of the widely beloved Magic Wand. The intense stimulation it provides can be particularly helpful for people experiencing diminished libido or sensitivity.
The Magic Wand Waterproof looks almost identical to the Magic Wand Rechargeable, our top pick, with a few subtle differences. The circumference at the top of the body is a bit larger (it's 0.3 inch wider in diameter, per Vibratex), and the unit itself weighs 60 grams (about the weight of a chicken egg) more than the Rechargeable version, according to our measurements. 'Waterproof' is clearly printed below the Magic Wand logo, so there's little risk of your accidentally mixing it up with another model you may own.
The Waterproof version also functions the same way as the Rechargeable model does, with an on/off power button and two buttons to take you through four intensity levels and four vibration patterns. In addition to being waterproof (with an IPX7 rating, it can be submerged down to 1 meter, or 3.3 feet, for up to 30 minutes), this toy produces vibrations that feel stronger and more rumbly at every level but especially at the highest, level four. Whether that is a selling point or a drawback for you depends on your personal preference, but people who adore the Magic Wand because of its unparalleled power are likely to appreciate this upgrade.
For regular users of a non-waterproof Magic Wand, the ease of throwing this new model in the sink for a quick and easy soap-and-water rinse under the faucet will be absolutely liberating. Being able to use it for a shower massage or in a tub is a bonus for those who enjoy playing in water. The Magic Wand Waterproof takes a dip in the bath. Bianca Alba for NYT Wirecutter
The Magic Wand Waterproof has a few minor flaws. It is about $60 more expensive than the Rechargeable version, and people who already find the Rechargeable model to be too strong probably wouldn't enjoy the additional power this toy offers.
The Waterproof model must also charge longer for a shorter total run time: four hours of charging for two and a half hours of play, in contrast to the three hours of charging for three hours of play with the Rechargeable version. Unlike the Magic Wand Rechargeable, the Magic Wand Waterproof is nonoperational in charging mode, so if you run out of juice in the middle of a session, you're out of luck. This was designed as a safety feature, and it's the only significant drawback we found in this toy in comparison with the Rechargeable model.
Another minor drawback: A small included blue cap is intended to be plugged into the charging port when the vibrator is submerged in water. The toy is fully waterproof without the cap, which is meant to keep the port dry so that it can be safely plugged in for charging. If you're prone to losing and misplacing small objects, keeping track of this cap may prove to be an annoyance. From top: The Magic Wand Plus, a corded model; the cordless Magic Wand Rechargeable, our top pick; and the cordless Magic Wand Waterproof, the newest toy in the line (and the only one that can be submerged in water). Bianca Alba for NYT Wirecutter
If you are a Magic Wand lover looking to upgrade or replace an existing toy, and you don't mind spending a little extra for ease of cleaning, versatility, and added power, this model is worth the additional expense.
This article was edited by Tracy Vence and Kalee Thompson. Few products have had as profound an effect on sexual health as the Magic Wand . It's a decent back and shoulder massager, too.
Over 10 years of research and testing, we still think the Magic Wand Rechargeable is the best clitoral vibrator. It's an effective whole-body massager, too.
Buying a vibrator can be tricky without a great recommendation. This week, we discuss why vibrators are still so taboo—and how to pick one you'll love.

Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham Turns Heads After Exciting Personal News

Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham Turns Heads After Exciting Personal News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. To say that Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham's popularity has skyrocketed among WNBA fans of late would be an understatement at this point. A testament to this fact is how the veteran has now amassed over 1 million followers on TikTok and over 740,000 followers on Instagram. Advertisement According to a report by Jacob Feldman of Portico, this massive development represents more than 700,000 new followers on TikTok and over 250,000 new followers on Instagram. This huge jump comes right after Cunningham grabbed all sorts of headlines for her actions in the Fever's 88-71 win over the Connecticut Sun. That matchup turned out to be quite a testy affair between the two teams, with Cunningham getting herself involved in one of the most contentious moments in the game. Cunningham was ejected late in the fourth quarter for a flagrant foul 2 on Sun guard Jacy Sheldon, who, for her part, was involved in an earlier incident with Caitlin Clark. Fever fans loved how Cunningham appeared to retaliate on behalf of Clark after the Indiana superstar was poked in the eye and shoved to the ground earlier in the game. The supporters showed their love to the 28-year-old on social media, and the fact that Cunningham has earned close to a million new followers on TikTok and Instagram combined serves as proof of the same. Advertisement Naturally, the only way Cunningham would celebrate the big news is by posting a new dance video on TikTok. Cunningham's celebratory dance has since blown up on the social media platform, amassing close to 500,000 views in five hours, as of writing. The post has also drawn all sorts of reactions from the fans. "New Tik tok followers just paid her WNBA fine," a comment read. "Sophie!!!!! you are everyone's new favorite teammate, we love YOU," another said. "1 million followers and sold out jersey…what a time!" a supporter wrote.

"Do not stop being the enforcer for the Indiana Fever/Caitlin Clark. Please don't let me down. I'm counting on you," demanded a fan. Advertisement "700k overnight is INSANE 🔥" said another. Cunningham isn't exactly a WNBA superstar, but there is no doubt that her status on social media has seen a significant surge over the past few days. As for her basketball, the 6-foot-1 guard is averaging 6.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 triples in 22.6 minutes off the bench.

Beyond The Gates Recap: Nicole Chooses Herself Over Her Marriage

Beyond The Gates Recap: Nicole Chooses Herself Over Her Marriage originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Beyond The Gates recap: Police Station: Jacob tells his father about June's case and the clean up crew. Elon says how proud he is of his son when he gets a call and walks away. Just then, Smitty arrives to see Jacob. He asks if they can go elsewhere as what he has to share is about a police officer. Specifically, he has come across information about one of their officers being on the take, as Elon listens in. Jacob reluctantly agrees to head out and the two exit. Elon makes a call to meet up with someone in their regular place. Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Vernon enters and is screaming at someone on the phone about losing the young waiter. He promises the person on the other end will pay the price. Vernon plays the piano when the phone buzzes. He picks up and says, 'what now?!' When he hears Anita's voice, Vernon apologizes and tries to cover. He asks about The Articulettes and she says things are going swimmingly. Anita wonders what Vernon isn't telling her but he continues to cover. Fairmont Country Club: Martin catches up with the young waiter who finally admits their connection from that dreaded night. He says Martin's friends in high places kept him comfortable for a while but he's back to make certain he pays for his sins. Martin wonders the sins of which he speaks, and the young waiter speaks loudly about a dark night on a back road several years ago. Martin asks how much to make him disappear. The young waiter says he has lost the last two years of his life while everyone else pays for Martin's sins. He notes when you are black royalty everyone else cleans up your messes (another race-based comment). The young waiter says he must speak for his brother who is no longer with them (a clue!). He says Martin should trust him as his day is coming. With that, he storms off. Garland Memorial Hospital - Lobby: Vanessa walks in talking to Joey about their next connection. As they hang up, Doug walks up. She says will be meeting with Joey in empty homes for sale. He tells his wife to make sure she cleans up the bedroom. Vanessa wonders why he agreed to work with Joey when he's clearly not comfortable. They move out of the main lobby where Doug says he never wanted Vanessa to agree to anything illegal to pay off his debt. She thinks his displeasure has more to do with Joey than the legalities. Doug says he knows his wife is attracted to the danger Joey brings. She says she has a plan to learn everything about Joey and will cover her ass. Doug gets snarky before apologizing. Vanessa warns him not to judge her as he is responsible for their current situation. Doug wonders where their marriage will be when all is said and done. Garland Memorial Hospital – Ted's Office: Nicole arrives to say he got the flowers, and she says there's no need to continue to send them as she doesn't take them home. Nicole has actually arrived for them to consider revising their living trust and medical proxies. Ted wants to move back in so they can save their marriage before it's too late. He wants to somehow show her that he is still worthy of her love and trust. Nicole just can't with Ted and says these are things she needs to do for her. Ted goes on and on trying to convince her to give their marriage another chance but finally concedes defeat. Nicole says she has practiced the words, 'I forgive you. Please come home.' However, she doesn't believe them and can never say them. Nicole can't forget what he did with Leslie, the lies he told and how it all makes her feel like their history together is completely false. She says Ted broke her. He is trying to save their marriage while she is trying to save herself. With that, she gathers her papers and exits. Orphey Gene's: Smitty talks about the puff piece on Marcel and Jacob realizes he thinks his partner is on the take. Jacob immediately freaks because Marcel is his partner and their careers are linked. Smitty says it's why he came to him directly so they can review the evidence together. Smitty shows him the information about the connection to Joey and Jacob says it's all speculation. Smitty continues with the information about the house and boat in the Carribean and Marcel's plan to move there after retirement. Jacob counters none of that is a secret as he tells everyone. Smitty continues by discussing Marcel's bank records noting a recent $5,000 cash deposit… leading Jacob to remember seeing Marcel and Joey's handoff a few months prior. Smitty notes another deposit of the same amount two years ago but for half a million dollars. Smitty realizes Jacob knows something and tells Smitty about the handoff he witnessed. However, his father said it was a part of an undercover operation. Jacob says Marcel being dirty is one thing. It's a whole other thing if they're talking about his father, the Chief of Police, also being dirty and lying to his face. Smitty apologizes for the position he's put Jacob in. Jacob thinks if his dad is involved in all of this, Marcel is playing him. Smitty asks Jacob to think back two years. Were there any big investigations that suddenly dried up? Jacob admits he was on patrol back then but would have heard about anything wonky. Jacob still wants to maintain the possibility that everything is a coincidence. Smitty bets his journalist instinct that something happened two years ago that benefitted Marcel to the tune of 500k and maintains the link is through Joey Armstrong. Joey's Gambling Pit: Marcel and Elon meet up and discuss how there's been a hack into his bank accounts from an unknown computer. They both know for a fact Smitty is responsible. Elon recounts how Smitty just told Jacob about his suspicions before they left the precinct together. Just then, Joey walks in. The three men take a seat and play cards. Joey makes digs at how bad they are at the game but they are more worried about their current situation and how they shut it down. Elon says he will try to throw his son off the scent. Marcel thinks Smitty is still a problem and is willing to take him out. Joey thinks violence is never a proper solution and wants to deal another hand. Elon says he's out as life is enough of a gamble these days. Just then, Vanessa arrives on the scene and Joey introduces her to the police chief and detective as his gambling buddies and her as his business partner. With that, Joey pushes the two men out Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Martin walks in and Vernon says he was right to fill him in on the latest. Grandpa is not thrilled his grandson disregarded his orders and confronted the young waiter. Vernon says he made a call and confirmed the dreaded night from two years ago has come back to haunt them. Martin notes the young waiter's words and tone of voice saying he wants to destroy them. Vernon sets his jaw and says that will never happen. Vernon tells his grandson to mind his business and simply let him know when the young waiter approaches with his demands. Garland Memorial Hospital – Lobby: Doug leaves Vanessa in his dust when Nicole walks up. She asks if her friend is ok and Vanessa says she is living the life she wants to live and everyone else can kick rocks. With that, she dramatically makes her exit. Previous Beyond The Gates Recap: Endings As Ted leaves the hospital, he spies Nicole who turns her back on him. Joey pours Vanessa a martini and says they need to establish some boundaries for their new relationship. He thinks there are topics to avoid but she wants to know everything. He knows if she knew everything about him that she would quickly disappear. Vanessa thinks he should try her. Jacob doesn't know how he's supposed to go back to the station and pretend he doesn't know what he does. Martin knows it's a problem and hates he gets to go home and simply spend time with his family (little does he know). Vernon tells Martin he will take care of the family as he always has. Martin asks that his grandfather never lie to him again. He needs to be apprised of everything his grandfather knows. Vernon agrees and Martin exits. Afterwards, Vernon grabs his phone, calls someone and says, 'he's back.' Keep checking back for the latest Beyond The Gates recaps!
