In the bottom right corner of the image, there is a black line drawing of two women with 1950s hairstyles whispering to each other against a lavender background. In the upper left corner, there is a speech bubble. Inside the speech bubble, there is an image of the Le Wand XO, a black, curved vibrator. The insertable portion has a bulbous end, and the external stimulation portion has ridges. The handle is silver with buttons down the middle.

The Le Wand XO Is Chic, Elegant, and Capable of Blasting Your Bits Into Bits

I love that this toy feels like a sleek, adult upgrade of my first vibrator.
