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.
