Violet Wand/Neon Wand

The violet wand is one of the most iconic electrosex devices. It consists of a glass tube filled with a noble gas—neon, argon, or krypton—that sends sparks to the skin upon contact. Visible, audible, and immediately felt: a crackling sound, purple sparks, and a tingling sensation unlike any other toy. In this collection, you’ll find violet wands, neon wands, and matching attachments from brands like KinkLab.

Violet wand vs. neon wand

Violet wand and neon wand refer to the same type of device—the name varies by brand. The color of the sparks is determined by the gas in the tube: neon produces orange-red sparks, argon produces blue-purple sparks. KinkLab calls their popular model the Neon Wand—it works on the same principle as a classic violet wand.

How does a violet wand work?

A violet wand operates using high-frequency, low-power alternating current. The current flows from the wand to the skin via sparking—direct contact is not necessary. Hold the tube just above the skin for gentle sparks; press it lightly for more intense contact. The intensity is adjustable via a control knob. On low, it feels tingling and pleasant; on higher settings, it’s sharper and more stimulating.

Attachments and Electrodes

Violet wands come with multiple glass attachments in various shapes—each providing a different sensation. A narrow tip concentrates the sparks in one spot for a focused stimulation. A wide disc spreads the sparks over a larger area. Combs produce multiple parallel lines of sparks simultaneously. Additional attachments are available as separate accessories, compatible with most standard wands.

Safety

Never use a violet wand on people with a pacemaker, heart problems, or epilepsy. Do not use near flammable gases. Always start at the lowest setting and build up. Never leave anyone alone while the wand is in use.
