Le Wand Baton vs Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Le Wand Baton is simultaneously my most expensive bullet vibrator and one of my weakest. The power is so soft that I cannot even orgasm using the highest power. Even those who enjoy gentle vibrations will likely want more strength than this.
At such a high price tag, the poor vibration performance overshadows any positives from the quality build, comfortable grip, and ease of use. If the Le Wand Baton is in your budget, there are many better bullet and mini vibrators available to you.
The We-Vibe Touch X and We-Vibe Tango X are two high-quality alternatives that still provide those softer warm-up levels but reach a much stronger top level.
Or, if you’re considering the Le Wand Baton because you prefer mild stimulation, the Lelo Mia 2 might be worth a try. It has a ton of vibration levels in the gentle range, but it has a touch more strength on high that enables me to orgasm.
The Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini is an excellent, budget-friendly bullet vibrator for those who enjoy strong, buzzy vibrations.
It’s very comfortable to use, is discreet, and has a great battery life. It has excellent vibration power (8.75 out of 10), especially for the price! However, it has no mild settings. The gentlest power level is a 6 out of 10 vibration strength.
This bullet vibrator is not for those who need gentle warmup settings or prefer rumbly vibrations – if that’s you, consider some alternatives I discuss here. But the Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini is excellent for those who want intensity on a budget.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The power level on the Le Wand Baton is incredibly weak. With 6 power levels beginning at a whispering 0.3 out of 10 vibration strength, the Baton maxes out at only 2.5 out of 10 – too little for me to orgasm with. Most people are going to need something stronger.
Even if you’re worried about overstimulation, you can find options with several soft warm-up levels and strong upper levels at this price. The Lovense Ambi has multiple power levels in the low range because you can make minute adjustments in the app to get your perfect level. And it reaches an 8 out of 10 on high, so you have a wide range to work with.
Or if you’d like to stick to bullets with on-toy buttons only, the Je Joue Classic, We-Vibe Tango X, and We-Vibe Touch X each have low, gentle powers and reach 7.75 out of 10 on high.
And finally, if you want a high concentration of low to medium-strength settings, the Lelo Mia 2 has 12 total power levels. They start at the very softest of any of my bullets at a 0.1 out of 10, and reach a 3.25 out of 10 on high. It’s still mild for those who get overstimulated by intensity, but at least I can orgasm with the top strength of the Mia. Though, it does take a little effort.
The Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini lives up to its name because its power levels are all strong – especially for such a small, affordable bullet vibrator. The starting point is already a 6 out of 10 vibration strength, and the top power reaches an 8.75 out of 10.
I can orgasm using just its first setting, which is comparable to the strength of many mid-sized vibrators. And the 3 settings it has are enough to provide comfortable, gradual steps between levels since its power range is relatively narrow.
If you like intensity, it’s excellent. But if you need mild warmups or prefer softer settings, this bullet vibrator may be too strong for you. In this price range, consider the Pillow Talk Flirty if you prefer mild stimulation. Or consider the Blush Limited Addiction if you want intense top settings but need just a touch less intensity on low. Bullet vibrators with much wider power ranges, providing very gentle and intense settings, are pricier.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate bullets with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy vibrations because it’s what most people want.
The Le Wand Baton has subpar rumbliness. Its lower settings are rumbly, and the higher ones feel neutral. But since they’re all so weak, the vibrations have little impact.
The We-Vibe Touch X and Je Joue Classic hit that same frequency range of moderately rumbly to neutral but have much greater strength. This is a sweet spot for me, and I really enjoy the feeling of these vibrations.
If you’re looking for the most rumbly option, the We-Vibe Tango X has 8 power levels, and every single one is extremely rumbly.
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them. However, plenty of people enjoy buzzy vibrations more.
The Nasstoys Travel Vibe Mini is much better suited for those who like neutral or buzzy vibrations (like me). It has no rumbly settings. The lowest level is neutral, the middle is moderately buzzy, and the most intense setting feels extremely buzzy.
These buzzy vibrations have more of an impact at the surface which can make them feel more intense. Some people will find that overstimulating, but others will love it.
If you prefer low-frequency, rumbly vibrations, you’ll have to increase your budget. The most affordable rumbly option is the Pillow Talk Racy. Or for exceptional rumbliness the We-Vibe Tango X is best. But in general, the most rumbly bullet vibrators I’ve tested are less intense than the Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini. So, decide based on which you care more about.
G-Spot Use
The Le Wand Baton comes with a textured silicone attachment intended to provide clitoral stimulation while inserting the bullet’s first inch internally for vaginal stimulation. So in theory, you can use the Baton for dual-stimulation (simultaneous clit and internal stimulation).
This is a fun idea, but it provides little stimulation in actual use. The Baton’s vibration power is already weak, and the clitoral attachment dampens the vibrations even more – I hardly feel them.
Since the bullet is straight (no upward curve), leveraging it for G-spot stimulation is also very hard. So it vibrates around the vaginal entrance – not on your G-spot. It’s best to think of the Baton as an ordinary clitoral bullet and not count on dual-stimulation.
If you care about G-spot stimulation, the Pillow Talk Racy is a much better G-spot bullet vibrator.
Stimulation Precision
The stimulation of the Baton is quite precise. With other bullets like the Je Joue Classic, I can cover more surface area if I use the side of the bullet. But the Baton is very slim at only 0.7 inches wide, so the stimulation is focused.
If you like precise stimulation, the We-Vibe Tango X or Je Joue Classic are better bullet vibrators that provide focused stimulation with their lipstick-shaped and tapered tips. And you can also vary the precision by using their slightly wider sides.
Like most bullets, the Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini provides more focused stimulation than other kinds of vibrators. Compared to other bullets, the amount of precision is toward the middle of the spectrum.
The Intense Travel Vibe Mini is 0.83 inches wide where the tip begins to taper – this feels focused but certainly not pinpoint. By pressing the side of the bullet to your body, you can get comfortable, firm pressure that’s not too precise. Or, if you prefer more pinpoint precision, the tip is tapered – so you can press the top of the bullet to limit the contact to a small area. This can be great if you like direct clitoral stimulation.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The Le Wand Baton is all 10s for comfort and ease of use. Since the vibrations are so gentle, I never feel them in my hand. The shape and size are easy to hold and leverage for good pressure. And it has a slightly flexible, comfy tip.
But if the incredibly low strength is a deal-breaker for you (as it is for me), I have better recommendations.
The We-Vibe Tango X is also exceptionally comfortable, and the Je Joue Classic is a close second. They are easy to maneuver and get pressure exactly where you want. The only thing I noticed about the Je Joue Classic is that the button clicks are so soft, and it’s hard to tell whether or not you’ve pressed the buttons – other than noticing the vibe change. But if you value excellent comfort but still want stimulating vibrations, either is a great choice.
The Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini is comfortable and easy to use.
Its 3.8-inch length is long enough to easily leverage without tiring your fingers or wrist. Although the vibrations travel into my hand some, they’re less noticeable once I press the bullet against my body. I don’t find them distracting.
The button is easy to press without changing your grip, but it’s a one-button control system. This means you have to cycle through the 3 power levels and 7 patterns on a loop – there’s no separate button to decrease power.
But I appreciate that turning the bullet off and back on resets the vibrator to its softest power. It’s an easy workaround to quickly decrease the intensity.
If you value having separate controls to increase and decrease power, the Blush Limited Addiction is the best option at this price point.
Use During Sex
The Le Wand Baton is a nice size to maneuver, leverage, and easily fit into tight spaces during sex. It doesn’t interfere with either partner’s body. But since the power is so weak, I find it more distracting during sex than enjoyable. With the added stimulation of penetration, the vibrations are hardly even noticeable.
Many stronger options, including the We-Vibe Tango X, the Je Joue Classic, and the Lovense Ambi also do a great job of getting into precise spots easily and comfortably. They have excellent leverage for satisfying pressure during sex. And their power levels provide enough clitoral stimulation to enhance sex.
The Nasstoys Travel Vibe works great during sex!
It’s a great length to leverage. Alghough it’s a straight bullet, so you don’t get the additional help that a curved shape (like the Pillow Talk Racy) provides. The width of the head is small enough to fit in tight areas yet large enough to hit the right spots comfortably.
I can angle the bullet vibe well without the base bumping into my partner’s chest in positions where we’re facing each other. And the tapered tip maintains really good contact with my clit – I can easily get direct clit stimulation during sex.
If you are looking for a bullet that works well to stimulate during sex, the Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini is one of the best at this price.
Noise
The Le Wand Baton is exceptionally quiet, mainly due to its poor power. I can hardly even hear it while using it on its top setting. And certainly, no housemates will hear you using it.
But there are plenty of stronger options that are just as discreet. For those worried about roommates overhearing: The We-Vibe Touch X, Lovense Ambi, and Je Joue Classic are inaudible on all power levels from the other side of a closed bedroom door.
All 3 of these have low decibel levels too. And as someone who can be easily annoyed by noise, they sound perfectly acceptable to me. The Touch X especially is whisper-quiet and deeper sounding, so I hardly notice it.
The Nasstoys bullet is very discreet, especially for its power.
During our testing, I could use every power level without my partner hearing the vibrations from the other side of our closed bedroom door. So there’s no concern if you live with housemates.
We measured its top intensity level at 46.1 decibels – lower than most bullet vibrators with this much strength.
As someone who can be a little sensitive to noises in general, I don’t find the sound of its vibrations annoying or distracting at all. It’s a powerful, discreet bullet vibrator.
Battery Life
The Le Wand Baton is rechargeable and lasts for about 75 minutes on high power. This battery life is decent, but many bullets with much more power last just as long or longer.
The Nasstoys Travel Vibe is rechargeable and has one of the longest-lasting batteries of the bullets we’ve tested. During our test, it lasted 105 minutes at maximum power. It’s challenging to find one this strong that lasts this long.
Build Quality
The Le Wand Baton feels and looks luxurious. It’s made of smooth silicone with a sleek metallic accent and feels very sturdy. It has quality buttons and a convenient built-in USB charging port.
Unfortunately, the luxury feel can’t make up for the poor vibrations. Both the We-Vibe Touch X and Lovense Ambi have a similarly luxurious, all-over silicone design and are much better overall.
The Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini feels well-made, and I’ve had only good, reliable experiences with it. It has a nice weight that makes it feel solid, especially compared to other budget bullet vibrators. And the body-safe ABS plastic material is very smooth and comfortable. I like the feel of the button too.
Cleaning
The Le Wand Baton is IPX6 water-resistant, so cleaning it is easy. You can clean it under a running faucet with soap and water, but you should not completely submerge it.
This bullet is IPX7 waterproof, which makes cleaning very easy. You can fully submerge it while scrubbing without worrying about water causing damage.
