In BDSM, couples can explore new depths of sensuality and stimulation with electroplay (Electroplay/Electrosex- All You Need to Know to Get Started). But what electroplay devices do you use to enrich your kinky playtime?
There are five standard options for electroplay – Wands, TENS Units, E-Stim devices, Power Trippers, and Electro Gloves. Each of these tools offers unique, intense experiences for those willing to explore boundaries of pleasure.
This blog post will explore the unique characteristics of each of these five electroplay options, how they work, and our best picks for each option.
5 Best Electroplay Devices Options
Make your next BDSM play session unforgettable with these top 5 electroplay options!
1. Electroplay Wands
Electroplay wands are devices that throw tiny lightning bolts of electric currents from a glowing glass attachment to your skin, resulting in a gentle yet stimulating experience.
There are two main types of electroplay wands: Violet and Neon. The Violet wands create higher power and deeper sensations that can be intense and are suitable for more experienced players. The Neon wands generate gentle sparks for those new to electrosex play.
These wands can be paired with various attachments (Comb, Mushroom, Bulb, Flogger, etc.) to achieve different intensity levels. Comb-type attachments cover more area but provide lower intensity, while extensions like mushroom and flogger offer more focused, intense sensations. Of course, the effects vary depending on the strength of the electric current.
The best thing about electroplay wands is their versatility- you can select an appropriate intensity level and vary the sensation to accommodate your partner’s preferences.
For an easy-to-use, versatile, and affordable electro wand for electroplay, we recommend this KinkLab Neon Wand.
NOTE: An electrosex Zapper (TAZapper, here on Amazon.com) – a device that delivers non-penetrative electrical stimulation to the body is a great electroplay wand alternative. Unlike violet or neon wands with their glass attachments, the zapper uses metal loops that are approximately half a centimeter apart to “unload” the electricity. This avoids deep or intrusive penetration and offers a comfortable feeling that is similar to a tingling or a mild shock.

2. TENS Unit
A TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit is a small device that sends electrical pulses to particular parts of the body to reduce pain. The electrical pulses stimulate the nerve fibers, which block the transmission of pain signals to the brain. But its uses extend far beyond that of a medical device. Because of its strong effect, many people use it for stimulation and pleasure.
A TENS unit typically includes a power box, cables, and electrodes. The power box can create different programs and adjust the electric pulses’ frequency, intensity, and duration. The cables connect the power box to the electrodes, while the electrodes are placed on the body where you wish to direct the current for stimulation. It is recommended to use electroconductive pads as electrodes for a TENS unit since they’re wide-covering, flexible, and self-adhesive.

3. E-Stim Device
E-Stim systems are considered the most advanced electrosex devices available today, and you can use them to produce various erotic pleasures and sensations with controllable intensity. As a result, they’re incredibly popular with experienced BDSM practitioners. E-Stim systems rely on higher levels of electrical current and produce a broader range of sensations.
Using a digital control unit, the user can apply electric pulses to sensitive areas of their partner’s body, such as the nipples and genitals. With the right setting, these sensations can be incredibly pleasurable and may even be orgasmic.
Please note that there’s a difference between a TENS unit and a dedicated E-Stim device. TENS is a low-intensity electrical stimulation device that tends to focus on treating pain, while a dedicated E-Stim device is designed to produce higher-intensity electrical pulses that target muscle stimulation and development. Broadly, TENS is often used therapeutically, while E-Stim is primarily used by athletes to increase muscle strength and conditioning.
So how does an E-Stim device work? In a nutshell, these units transmit direct current electricity through the skin and into the muscles and nerve endings via attachments such as electro-paddles or conductive rope (electro rope with mylar strands woven through it). This electricity then creates erotic sensations that the user can customize using the digital control unit. With the correct settings, users can achieve an incredibly pleasurable, intense experience.
Our top recommendation for an E-Stim device is this Electrastim axis (base) with an Electro paddle (attachment). One side of the electro-paddle can be used for spanking, and another has metal endings for electrostimulation. Note: You must use a conductive lube before using the electro-paddle.
4. Power Tripper
The Power Tripper is designed to be connected to your body and then transfer electric currents to you. You can interact with your partner’s body and move the electricity to them.
With the Power Tripper, you attach the device to a base unit such as a Neon wand, then to your body, and allow it to transfer the current through your body. Then, for example, you can use finger tickling to interact with your partner’s body and transfer the static shocks to them. The Power Tripper actively tracks the electricity to ensure it is evenly dispersed to your body and moved safely and effectively to your partner’s.
Enjoy a wild and thrilling experience with this high-quality electroplay power tripper that can be used with the KinkLab Neon Wand mentioned earlier.
5. Electro Gloves
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to harness magical powers with the touch of your hands, electro gloves will give you just that. By sending electrical currents to your partner through built-in circuits in the gloves, you can explore a new level of pleasure.
The gloves are easy and safe to use; all you must do is put them on and turn on the power source! With the ability to control the intensity, the experience can range from a mild tingle to a deep, stimulating sensation!
