Violet Wand

A device initially created as a medical device for electrotherapy (source) and named for the often violet glow it emits. It is used for electro play and creates a prickling or painful sensation when it is placed just above the skin and the electronic charge is discharged into the body. It uses a low-current, high-voltage setup through electrodes made out of glass that emit ozone on use.

Original violet wands are harder to come by and commonly have to be adapted to be able to be used on our modern power grids. Modern versions have appeared under the brand names such as "neon wand" and there are also newer builds based on traditional violet wands available as well.

Besides the classic glass electrode attachments new attachments have also been designed that allow a body to become the electrode and have the current pass between people while it is being worn. These are often known as body contact cables.

Conductive items can also be used with a violet wand to create a new sensation or to combine electro play with other types of play such as using conductive rope in shibari or using the metal in the needles used in needle play.
