Magic wand vibrators are awesome toys to own. Check out the Maia Twistty – a DOUBLE ENDED rechargeable USB magic wand vibrator, with ten functions. (With two ‘t’s in the title intentionally.)
I love it! In this review you can find out more about it and why it’s in my top five wands for this year.
What’s in the box?
When you receive the box it looks really classy and expensive, you feel excited to open it. It contains your Maia Twistty magic wand, a set of instructions, a draw string storage pouch and the USB charger.
The storage pouch is a nice touch and it also gives you somewhere to store your wand discreetly, and keep it clean so it’s always ready to be used whenever the mood takes your fancy.
How big is it?
The Maia Twistty magic wand is a bright purple colour and measures 8.5 inches. It can be inserted up to 2.5 inches. Its circumference is 5.8 inches.
How is it powered?
There’s a small hole in the wand to plug in the USB cable at one end, and then you plug the USB bit into your computer, laptop, USB charger or even mobile phone if you have a USB adapter for it.
There’s no need to bother about batteries running out. Rechargeable toys are the way forward, and they give you so much more power too and last longer.
Gone are the days of a toy abandoned because you don’t have any batteries for it. There’s no reason not to use this regularly when it’s so easy to charge up! Just make sure you don’t lose the charger. A good place to keep it would be in the storage bag it comes with when it’s not in use.
How do you use the Maia Twistty?
To switch the Maia Twistty on you just have to press and hold the power button, and the light comes on.
What’s cool about this magic wand that I haven’t seen in other magic wands is that it has two ends to use. One end looks like a traditional magic wand vibrator, whilst the other end has a textured, insertable end.
It has two separate motors which can be used individually or at the same time should you want to have them both switched on.
To switch it off you just hold down the power button. It’s fairly self explanatory to use when you receive yours.
How loud is it?
The Twistty is quiet, and other reviewers on Lovehoney back me up on this one! It’s not easy to say how loud or quiet a sex toy is without seeing/hearing it in person but when others say it’s quiet too then it must be a nice level of sound for them too.
What are its ten functions?
Both ends of the wand have three constant speeds and they then move onto the patterned vibrations to choose from. To move through the different speeds and patterns, just keep pressing the corresponding button for each end of the wand.
The flashing LED light into the wand flashes according to which pattern you’re on. It’s pretty cool.

What are the pros?
It’s rechargeable – a major plus point!
It’s made of silicone – this is good because it means it has no latex and phthalates that can be irritating to some people. Some people have really bad latex allergies.
The way the ends are textured gives you plenty of great feeling sensations.
It’s fully waterproof and submersible. Great for easy washing and use in the bath or shower should the mood take you.
Having two separate ends means you’ve got more to play with, and it’s two toys in one, therefore really good value for a rechargeable toy, which generally cost more anyway than battery-powered ones.
What are the cons?
I was going to say the price, but for a magic wand vibrator, it’s actually in line with others and they do cost that bit more because of their size and power, rechargeability and quality.
It’s nice that there are two ends to use, but the insertable end of 2.5 inches can’t be inserted that far so some people might not like that… However it is technically a wand and you don’t usually insert wands, but this one gives you more options.
What do other people say?
Currently all of the other reviews for the Maia Twistty are really good, except for one where theirs sadly broke but it was quickly replaced by Lovehoney and the reviewer still had really good things to say about it.
(Aside: This is an example of why Lovehoney is a good place to shop, because they have really good customer service should you have any issues or want to return anything. I really don’t think they all have such good service. I’ve seen online sex toy shops appear then disappear because competition is so intense so I’d advise you buy from somewhere reputable rather than just where is cheapest.)
Have a read of the other reviews as well as mine to get a good feel of what the Twistty is like for others too, especially when you’re investing in something higher quality for yourself.
