Growing up, all of us are conditioned to fear a live electric shock, and think of it as something that can harm us. But, when done carefully and with high quality electroshock toys, e-stim play is completely safe and is a popular, growing kink within BDSM communities. 

More and more people are discovering the intense satisfaction that comes from harnessing something deemed dangerous, and using it to curb their own pleasure and desires. Has your time come to take control of e-stim play?

When it comes to electroshock toys, my boyfriend Ben and I have already fallen down the rabbit hole and are not looking back. Today, I am going to introduce you to our favourite e-stim toy for safe, reliable, and intensely pleasurable shocks, the Violet Wand electro shocker.

A Beginner’s Guide to E-Stim with the Violet Wand

So, you want the concrete facts of this new kind of erotic, electric arousal. What exactly does Violet Wand e-stim entail?

Electroshock toys like the ones in this Violetwand toy review work by stimulating the body with erotic shocks and pulses. 

While you can choose to derive pleasure from pain with the Violet Wand, not all e-stim play hurts. In fact, you can use the Violet Wand to edge, tease, tingle, and even deny your partner from orgasm. The way you experience the Violet Wand electro shocker can be as gentle or as intense as you desire. Because of the wide range of sensations the Violet Wand creates, beginners should always start their play low and slow.

E-stim requires two parts, a power supply (the box that creates the electric current and pulses) and the electrodes (which let the current enter the skin). The Violet Wand comes with both.

Violet Wand power supply boxes come in two versions, a solid state power supply and electromechanical power supply. Here is what you need to know about both:

The Violet Wand Solid State Power Supply is recommended for beginner users as it provides an easier to use model that makes the learning curve into electroshock play less steep. A solid state power supply operates on a circuit board, is often the cheaper option in the world e-stim power supplies, and generally provides more moderate stimulation power. 

The Violet Wand Electromechanical Power Supply is suggested for users who have a strong working knowledge of the ins and outs of e-stim play.  These power supplies are an investment, are more challenging to learn and use, and are meant for folks who take electroshock play seriously and want access to more intense stimulation currents. 

Once you’ve got your Violet Wand power supply box, you need to add your electrodes. These are most often made of glass. You can purchase Violet Wand electrodes with a more broad base for more general and spread out stimulation, or a more precise tip to experience a brighter, more intense shock. For our BDSM scenarios, Ben and I personally enjoy our electro whip attachments that let me feel a tingly shock each time my boyfriend flogs my ass. 

Keep in mind that not all electrodes are made for internal use; do you research to be sure that the product you are buying is safe for the way you intend to use it. 

Are Violet Wand Electro Shockers Safe?

When I tell my friends and fellow kink enthusiasts about Ben and I’s plunge into the world of e-stim, I notice that there are still some concerns around the safety of these toys.

So, let me clear the air: Violet Wand electro shocker toys are safe to use. 

I will add a disclaimer that this statement applies to most people and only when the products are being used carefully and as per their instructions. 

Like every product on the market, sex toy or not, Violet Wands are only dangerous if you use them haphazardly and don’t do your research regarding your individual situation and needs. Before you experiment with any Violet Wand product, make sure you have done your research and reading to be confident that you have a firm understanding of the protocols you must take to use these toys safely. The Violetwand Store’s page on safety information is a good place to start. 

With that being said, there are a few groups of people who should avoid e-stim altogether. This includes folks with heart conditions, epilepsy, or people who have electrical medical devices such as hearing aids or pacemakers. If you are pregnant, take a break from electro shock play for the duration of your pregnancy. For a more comprehensive understanding of whether or not electro shock sex toys are safe for you, consult with a medical professional.
