Wand vs Rabbit vs Bullet Vibrator: What Is the Difference?
Short answer: a wand is a larger external vibrator with a big head, a rabbit has an insertable shaft plus a clitoral arm, and a bullet is a small, simple vibrator. Choose a wand for broad external use, a rabbit for both kinds of stimulation, and a bullet for something compact. From our stock, the examples are We-Vibe Wand 2, We-Vibe Nova 2 and We-Vibe Tango X.
