Waterproof, light-weight, and crunchyvibrator power. What do I mean? Well, the Maia Nala has a biting kinda kickthat’ll quake ur stuff, from clitoris to butt.

The Nala wand’s most unique point, though, is a firm neck. The part under the massage head doesn’t bend too much under pressure, likeso manyother wands do. This equals better clitoral pressure.

I spent the last month exploring how the Nala vibrator works best: for hands-free humping (!) plus. All my discoveries about Nala by Maia Toys:

My Experience

It’s crunchy, rocking, biting vibration – it reminds me most of the Doxy wands. Except the Nala’s handle weighs less.

Nala possesses some bite 🫦, as it revs up in a growly way. It’s STRONG, it’s not quiet. Speed #2 of 5 total intensities already has me tingling.

And the pressure.I am so tired of this nonsense where these companies try to tell us that “flexible neck” is an advantagefor their wand vibrator. Distinctly: the Maia Nala’s connector (neck) is rigid between its big teal head and its slim teal handle – a total contrast.

It’s reinforced. It’s stable. It won’t bend easily at all. This produces more firm contact. So, I truly recommend Nala to anyone who does like big & hard pressurewith some *kick*from the quite-powerful vibes.

💦 Waterproofness is Nala’s hugest advantage💦vs. Magic Wand Rechargeable. IMO, that wetness-friendly IPX rating is even better than Nala’s other two big pros: its prettier color 🎨and its lighter weight ⚖️. The Maia Nala is just not a pain in the assto clean, because you can douse the Nala’s head in the sink, scrubbing down with soap and plenty of water—no problem.

The Nala does feel “fierce” since it has a higher-frequency edge under its primary band of deeper vibration. So, overall, it’s neither ultra-rumbly deep vibration, nor buzzy-buzzy. The top 3 high speeds are the edgiest (everything above intensity #2).

That kickin’ vibration is enough to easily penetrate layers of clothing. I can easily orgasm on this vibrator through my shorts and underwear.

Plug & play with the Nala is a distinctive feature: It feels like it cranks up the power an extra level, so the maximum intensity is a lil stronger. And remember, you can also use it fully cordless, too: So you’re not restricted (not tied to the wall!) if you wanna use it during doggy-style sex, for example.

The downside is that the plug&play run-time is 30 minutes – so if you use vibrators for a good long while, this might inconvenience you.

I’m going for short & speedy sessions stroking and splaying the Nala’s wide silicone head, firmly angled against my clit & bits:

Non-Flexible Wand Neck

Under pressure: Does your clit like more forceful stimulation? This is easier with the Maia Nala. Its “neck” (the stem between the massager head, and the handle) barely bends, even when I’m pushing the vibrator in firmly.

The Nala’s DEFINITELY NOT FLEXIBLEneck is awesome because: inflexible neckis an insanely important feature that’s often overlooked by vibrator manufacturers. They wanna proclaim “flexible neck” as if it’s a positive feature: GTFO!

First, it’s weird to use. The wand bends away from your genitals when you’re trying to get it closer???

Second, you may break any flexi-neck vibrator this way. With a wand whose neck is poorly supported, as it bends backwards, you gotta exert even more pressure against the handle to counterbalance. The more flexible the wand’s neck is, the worse the flexi feedback loop.Over time, the pressure you apply can easily damage the wand’s wiring, ultimately killing the vibrator.

In contrast, I expect my Maia Nala’s supported non-flexi-neck to last, to hold up well over time as I use it in short power bursts for extra pressure.

Silicone Head Texture: Smooth or Lightly Wavy

The Maia Nala’s silicone massage head is primarily smooth.

It’s silky& firm silicone.

The light lines on the side are not gritty.

This contrasts sharply with the Fun Factory Vim. Now, the Vim is the deepest wand vibrator ever, but Vim is marred by two major flaws: 1.) Vim’s hard-linesilicone texture feels abrasive to my clit; 2.) Vim’s neck is more flexible, so if you’re someone who grinds hard on wand heads, you’re more likely to break the Vim. [And 3.), Vim’s $169 price is harder to justify for a wand that may not last years.]

Maia Nala Vibration Functions and Strength

Power is the top quality, when it comes to why wand vibrators have been a clit stimulating sensationfor over 50 years now.

The Maia Nala’s three buttons let you scroll up or down (+ and –) through the 5 strength levels (=intensities), for all 10 vibration functions.

That means 5 steady speeds, plus 9 patterns that you can make stronger or weaker. 50 vibration levels, total.

It is stronger than the vast majority of vibrators. I’d put the Maia Nala in the top 2%, outcompeting nearly every other wand massager for sheer power. (Keep in mind that wand vibrators, the big ones, over 10” length, tend strongest since they can hold a larger motor.)

Still, even when plugged in, the Nala wand is not quite matching the full-size Doxy wands or the Magic Wand Plus for top power. This isn’t an issue for me, I think the Nala is plentystrong enough; but it should be noted by true power-vibe fans.

How to Use the Maia Nala vibrator

How to Control

To turn on the Maia Toys Nala, hold down on the center button for 3 seconds. It will light up, and begin vibrating.

Then, press the + button to increase the vibration power. Or, the inverse: Hit the – button anytime after that, to decrease the intensity.

You can cycle through the 9 patterns by tapping the power button again, and again, and again. Then, feel free to use the + or – buttons to change intensity within those rhythms.

How to Position Nala

Four ways I’ve enjoyed positioning the Maia Nala:

1. The Forced-O thigh strap. Super-simple. This hands-free Magic Wand holder fastens the Nala’s length to your thigh, as its silicone head is wedged (as hard as you want) against the clitoris. This is greatest for hands-free grinding IMO: you cross your legs, while rocking your hips, so the Nala + your body massage your clit – no hands needed, no grip, no strain on hands or wrists.
2. Sitting & angling it in.Sitting at my desk, with Nala’s handle angled right under the desk – so it creates even more pressure & leverage, more easily.
3. The classic.Find your comfy position in bed, relaxed, supported by pillows. Hang onto the Nala’s handle, to get its bold silicone head resting just where you want against the vulva. Press on the handle for more pressure, or just let it stick up (no grip) if you enjoy lighter pressure.

Two Chargers Included: USB Rechargeable *or* Wall Outlet

It’s USB rechargeable. The charging prong inserts at the very bottom of the handle.

It’s also plug-in, the same way.

Nala includes two separate chargers. The one with the AC adapter block built-in is the one you must use while plugging-and-playing.

A 15-minute break is unfortunately required between the rechargeable battery’s 38-minute life and the plug-in cord starting to work.

Care & Cleaning

IPX7 Waterproof! The Maia Nala’s silicone + ABS plastic body can be submerged in the bath.

This is a bigger deal because the POWER-up wands, like all Magic Wands and Doxy wands, still are neither waterproof submersible nor water-resistant. You cannot get water down into their necks while cleaning the massage heads, lest you risk damaging the vibrator motor.

Nala, in contrast, is worry-free for cleaning in the sink. You can take it into the shower, or even into the bathtub if that’s your thing. (I find submersion in water decreases vibration intensity, but some people like it.)

To clean, just use your normal handsoap and scrub the Nala’s silicone head under running water from your sink.

Recap & Rating

The Maia Nala is a “hell ya” wand vibrator that I must describe as “kicks and crunches.” It’s got an intensely immersive growling feel.

Andthe pressure. Ur clit may needit. Nala has a better-reinforced neck, so it does not bend backwards when you just tryin’ to get vibration all over your pelvic floor. Avoid that disconcerting adjustment.

😊The light turquoise – teal color 🌠 just looks good, too.
