As soon as the new Moregasm + Boost Wand was released, I was so excited to get one. Its predecessor has been my to-go toy for a number of years now, in fact since before Ann Summers first released them and I was selected for product testing.

As soon as I physically could I was off to my nearest AS store with my Christmas vouchers to treat myself. The new wand with its improved rippled silicone surface was presented in smart top-end packaging. It certainly looked the part.

After unboxing it, and familiarising myself with the new controls, and having a little scroll through the five speed and five pattern settings, and the boost function; I set about the important business of road testing the wand.

The first thing I noticed is how much noisier it is than the old one. And although the vibrations are powerful, it has lost the deep, low frequency, rumbling sensation that I loved about the old one. It feels like another buzzy toy like so many other buzzy toys. The other ‘improvements’ on the new model also left me with mixed feelings. I couldn’t feel any difference as a result of the rippled silicone surface. Having two buttons instead of one to incorporate the boost function was more difficult to navigate while ‘in the moment’. Having said that, having correctly located the boost function it didn’t disappoint. The result was both intense and earth-moving.

Maybe it is unfair to make very direct comparisons between the original and the new Moregasm wand, but any new release of a product should surely compare more favourably than its predecessor. And I’m not 100% sure Ann Summers have achieved that on this occasion. The change in the vibrations make the new wand less appealing as a massager, which in couple play gave the original another string to its bow. It seems fairly clear that the Moregasm + Boost wand is more exclusively about the female orgasm than the versatility of use expected in a wand.

I’m very aware we are all built differently and respond differently, but I don’t think I will be retiring my old Moregasm wand just yet. And without it for comparison I would probably be writing quite a more favourable review. I can’t deny the Moregasm + Boost wand is a quality product which absolutely got the job done. I had just dared to hope for more.
