Violet wands apply a high voltage, high frequency, low current to the skin. They are typically used for therapeutic purposes but can be used for BDSM and sexual purposes as well. Care should be taken because the electricity emits from a glass tip at the end of the wand (usually interchangeable for different sensations) and these are fragile and can be broken. There is less risk of electricity running across unintended parts of the body as the wand will apply the electricity to the skin rather than it running between electrodes, but it is probably still sensible to avoid around the heart of the chest. Because the wand makes the electricity visible they are highly visual devices and add an asthetic to an electro scene, even more so in the dark or low light, in which case be aware of cables and other trip hazards. The glass ends should be cleaned between use, especially if used on genitals an antibacterial wipe is effective for this. | |||
