I really do like the idea of a mains operated wand however the only thing that puts me off is that all reviews seem to say they are not exactly discreet, quite.
anyone with house mates/children got one and able to use while they are in without being discovered?
No, I wouldn't say a duvet would muffle the noise. The noise is not only loud enough to be heard through walls (even on low) it is VERY obvious what it is. It's more that the noise is obviously a vibrator than that is earth shatteringly loud, if you know what I mean?
All good with kids, ours doesn't know what it is. But anyone who knows vibrators exist will know what that sound is. No way you would fool housemates!
Very loud music could help, but you still hear the rumble of the wand underneath it.
If children/housemates were an issue what i would do is use the wand in a public area like the living room as a back massager. Theres nothing about them that suggests they are soley sex toys, unlike things like rabbits, so if your kids see you using the wand to massage your back or shoulders they probably wont think anything of it if they hear it at night.
If you read my review you'll see the only downside I can really think of is that the attachments won't fit but it really is a powerful little thing with much less noise.
I have this wand, and as with PT, the only downside is the fact you can't use the attachments, but it is a brilliant little wand. Very powerful and not too noisy at all, I have a review on there too :) xx
The Fifty Shades wand that Scorpius linked really is amazingly quiet. Would second her recommendation completely :) I don't have a mains powered wand so can't compare in terms of power, but personally I find the vibrations from it the perfect strength. Rechargeable too, so that's a plus.
I have the Lovehoney deluxe black one, and although it sounds very loud in my room, I've left it under my duvet and walked around the house without being able to hear it. I was also going to suggest telling a child its a massager if they do hear it.
