I know I’m usually all about the sex toys and how things can be used for sex but not everything has to be about sex, you know! I love to give and receive massage but sometimes my hands get tired or My Man just can’t get into that muscle deeply enough, or I’m by myself. A great massager is sometimes just what the doctor ordered. Enter the InfraRed Electric Massager from PinkCherry.com.

The InfraRed Electric Massager is a California Exotic Novelties product that is manufactured in China. It is made of hard and soft plastics and comes is a dark maroonish red. This Massager has dual speeds and infrared heat which is kinda nifty. It is a wand massager that plugs into the wall so you don’t have to worry about batteries but you do have to deal with a cord. The easy to use controls are on the handle and the head has two parts. One side has the nub where you attach the interchangeable attachments and the other side is the magical infrared heat dome.

The controls are very easy to use. It has three settings, Off, Lo, High.
Off = self-explanatory
Lo = low vibration with high infrared heat
High = high vibration with low infrared heat

The head is slightly flexible with a fair amount of pressure, which is easy to apply when pressing the wand against the body. The wand itself is about 12 1/2″ long and the head measures approximately 9 3/4″ around without any attachments. The cord is a bit over 6′ long which provides for a fair amount of moving around. You may still need an extension cord if your electrical socket isn’t right near your massage location or you want to give your partner a full body massage.

The InfraRed Electric Massager has five interchangeable attachments that slip on and off very easily but attach sturdily and don’t come off during massage time. They are as follows:

1. Focus Cone: One large soft plastic protrusion designed for focusing vibrations in one spot. Meant for deeper, more focused massage.

2. Wide Nubbed: A large saucer with soft, flexible nub-like protrusions. Good for stimulating the scalp and back of the neck.

3. Buffer: A hard plastic disc with a softer, almost spongy material . It looks like something I should be using on leather shoes, but is meant to be used to apply lotion to the face for gentle facial massage.

4. Large Bump: A hard plastic disc with seven large, hard bumps. Not at all flexible or giving. For massaging large muscle groups.

5. Dualer: Similar to the Focus Cone with two smaller, slightly flexible protrusions. Good for shoulders, neck, along spine and shiatsu-type massage.

The packaging is typical California Exotics, a see through molded plastic sleeve. This product looks and acts like a body massager (because it is), so even in its packaging it can be left out and about for others to see. It certainly does not look like a vibrator, and quite frankly isn’t one. I am accustomed to California Exotics lame-o packaging but the InfraRed Electric Massager could really use a storage bag considering the wand and its five interchangeable attachments. Right now, I’m sort of at a loss for how to store it and I am keeping my eye out for a makeup bag or some such that it will fit it.

The InfraRed Electric Massager comes with a very brief instruction manual that does provide some helpful hints. It recommends a massage time of 10-15 minutes in one sitting. It also says if you want to use cream or oil with your massage to cover the area with a cloth or paper towel before applying the Massager. However, I have no problem using massage products with the attachments. The plastic is compatible with lotions and oils and they clean up very easily.

Speaking of cleaning, you can simply wipe down the wand body with a damp cloth or your favorite toy cleaning spray or wipes. The attachments can also be wiped down or washed with water in the sink.

The vibrations of the InfraRed Electric Massager are deep. They reverberate throughout my body even on the lower setting. The vibrations are also powerful, which is great for massage, but I find them almost overpowering on my clit. I don’t have a super sensitive clit and I do like stronger vibrations but something about these don’t sit quite right. With this Massager my orgasms are just not all that exciting. My body is left feeling vaguely unsatisfied. The only attachment that works well for my clit is the Focus Cone. The others are just too big and clunky for my pubic region. I can and do get off with this wand, but it is so strong that it happens so quickly it’s almost and if I’ve cum and gone before I’ve realized it. The wand is also on the heavy side for a vibrator.

The low vibrations can barely be heard while under the covers and even the high vibration level cannot be heard through a closed door, which makes the InfraRed Electric Massager more discreet than I was expecting.

The heat feels lovely against my body and is a nice addition to a massage. It particularly helps for sore muscles. The smoothness of the plastic makes it it easy to slide the heated bulb along the skin.

I really wish I could control the heat and vibrations separately because it takes about 12-15 minutes to heat up to its maximum. This is a bit of drag because I’ve got to have the vibration on the whole time, even if I just want to use the heated side. It is a bit weird that it takes so long to heat up when the directions recommend using it for only 10-15 minutes. However, I’ve used for longer periods of time without any issues.

InfraRed Electric Massager Pros:
• Heat
• Interchangeable heads
• Powerful

InfraRed Electric Massager Cons:
• Takes time to heat up
• Can’t control heat and vibrations separately
• No storage bag

I really like the InfraRed Electric Massager as a massager rather than a sex toy. As a sex toy it just doesn’t work for me, but it’s got some great qualities as a massager. The size is good, the power is great, the different attachments offer variety, and the heat option is pretty awesome.
