Le Wand Baton vs Pillow Talk Racy 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 Pillow Talk Racy is an affordable bullet vibrator that’s excellent for clitoral and G-spot stimulation – it’s one of my favorites! It has great rumbliness and a broad power range with soft, moderate, and intense settings. So you can warm up with gentle vibrations but finish strong.
It has a longer handle than most bullet vibrators, making it especially easy to grip, maneuver, and leverage. Besides providing excellent G-spot stimulation, the angled head makes the Racy easier to use than other bullets for clit stimulation (especially during sex). It helps it fit comfortably between our bodies and makes applying pressure easy.
The battery life is shorter than other bullets, so charging between each use is important. But it’s extremely quiet, making it a great choice if you live with others.
The only people who won’t appreciate the Pillow Talk Racy are those who prefer extreme power levels or buzzy vibrations. But for most people, this will be an enjoyable, extremely versatile bullet. Its versatility and affordable price also make it an excellent first vibrator since you can explore different types of stimulation and learn your preferences without overspending.

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 Pillow Talk Racy has a powerful top setting and covers an impressive range from low to high. It’s great for everyone but those who need extreme power.
The starting power is a 2 out of 10 vibration strength. So it begins soft enough for people who need a warmup and those overstimulated by intensity. And its top level reaches 7.75 out of 10, a strength I consider intense. Although there are a few bullets with more extreme upper settings like the Blush Limited Addiction and BMS Swan Maximum, I orgasm effortlessly and reliably with the Pillow Talk Racy.
With the Pillow Talk Racy’s incremental speed control, it covers its power range completely. You’ll hold the button to gradually increase power in tiny increments and release it when you’ve reached your desired strength.
As a result, steps between power levels are very comfortable – not jarring. And you have a ton of intensity levels available in each part of the power range (gentle, moderate, and strong). Many other bullet vibrators may cover a wide power range but do so with only a few distinct intensity levels.
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 it’s what most people prefer.
The majority of the Pillow Talk Racy’s vibrations are rumbly. Only the top few power levels cross into the neutral-feeling range, which I actually really enjoy. The more expensive We-Vibe Tango X and the discontinued original Tango are the only two bullet vibrators I’ve tested with comparable power that are more rumbly than the Pillow Talk Racy.
The Pillow Talk Racy is a great, affordable bullet for those who prefer rumbly vibrations.
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.
The Pillow Talk Racy is an excellent toy for internal use. Although longer, full-sized G-spot vibrators are easier to leverage and maneuver, the Racy is my favorite mini G-spot vibrator.
The Racy’s handle is longer than my other G-spot bullets, allowing your hand more space to grip the toy while using it internally. This helps keep your hand and fingers comfortable while leveraging the vibrator for firm pressure.
As a mini version of the full-sized Pillow Talk Sassy (1.5 inches wide), the Racy is slimmer at just 1.03 inches wide. People who find large toys uncomfortable will prefer the Racy’s narrower head (I like it more personally). But people who like girth and feeling “full” will enjoy the Sassy more.
I enjoy rumbly vibrations for internal stimulation, so the Pillow Talk Racy’s rumbly low and moderate power levels are fantastic. And even though the high-powered settings are not rumbly, they’re still strong enough to have an enjoyable impact.
I love the slightly flexible core, which makes inserting and moving this vibrator easier and more comfortable than a rigid toy. The bulbous shape of the Racy’s head also spreads the pressure comfortably!
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.
The Pillow Talk Racy lies between broad and focused. Its rounded G-spot tip is broader than most bullet vibrators at 1.03 inches wide. But as a mini vibrator, it’s still more focused than large toys like full-sized G-spot vibrators, wand vibrators, and even other mini vibrators like the We-Vibe Touch X.
This is my favorite size for applying firm pressure because it comfortably distributes the stimulation but is still narrow enough to target a specific area. The coverage is not focused exclusively on the clit, but it’s also not blanketing your whole vulva.
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 Pillow Talk Racy is exceptionally comfortable and easy to use for clit stimulation (also see our section discussing G-spot use above).
At 5 inches in length, it’s one of my longest bullet vibrators. This length makes it easier to leverage and provides more space to grip the handle comfortably without your fingers getting tired or cramped. The vibrations also don’t travel much into my hands, so I can play comfortably for a long time.
The hooked end makes it even easier to apply firm pressure without wrist or finger strain. And I love that the core is slightly flexible, which keeps the firm pressure from bumping into my pubic bone too hard.
The incremental control system takes getting used to, but I like it. You increase power by holding down the button. The Pillow Talk Racy will gradually increase strength until you release the button when you reach your preferred intensity. To go back to the gentlest power, you can double-click the button.
The downside of this method is that you can’t step back down a power level or two. You’ll have to return to the beginning by double-clicking – then hold down the button again. However, I’ve found that this hasn’t felt disruptive during use. And the advantage of this method is that it inherently provides tiny, comfortable steps between power levels – never a large, jarring leap.
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 Pillow Talk Racy is remarkable during sex.
The typical angled shape of G-spot vibrators like the Racy makes them more convenient during sex. The Racy’s curved tip fits more naturally between our bodies without needing to angle the handle outward as I would with a straight bullet vibrator.
Since the Racy is also longer than most bullet vibrators I’ve tested, my hands don’t need to reach as far and take up space between my legs. The head is small enough to slip into tight areas easily. And the slightly flexible core moves comfortably with your body to maintain contact and prevent uncomfortable bumping around.
If you’re hoping to use a bullet vibrator during sex, this is one of the most convenient and effective ones for the job!
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 Pillow Talk Racy is one of my absolute quietest bullet vibrators. This is especially impressive considering its excellent power.
It’s one of only four bullet vibrators we tested that had noise levels so low our Sound Level Meter could not pick up the sound. Even on high power, its decibel levels did not exceed the ambient background noise of the room itself.
My partner could not hear it from behind a closed bedroom door on any power level during our testing. In fact, the noise is so low I hardly notice the sound myself while I’m using the Racy. So the Pillow Talk Racy is an excellent choice if you live with others or are distracted by sound.
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 Pillow Talk Racy’s battery life is disappointing. In our testing, it only lasted 40 minutes continuously vibrating on its highest power – well below average.
I prefer my bullets to last for at least an hour. Plenty surpass this, including our best overall bullet vibrator, the We-Vibe Tango X. However, you can extend the Pillow Talk Racy’s runtime if you also use the lower and middle power levels. But you’ll want to remember to charge the Racy between each use.
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 Pillow Talk Racy has excellent build quality! The only aspect of the Racy’s build that I don’t like is that it uses a pin-charger through the toy’s body with self-healing silicone. While not inherently worse, most companies have moved to using magnetic chargers. But the rest of the build is superb.
It’s covered in a smooth, luxurious silicone. Its flexible core is not flimsy – it feels sturdy, high-quality, and has a good weight. The textured grip, metallic colored accents, and crystal button feel elegant. The Racy’s button is also easier to press than my other Pillow Talk bullet (the Pillow Talk Flirty). I expect the Pillow Talk Racy to last a while!
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.
The Pillow Talk Racy is easy to clean because it’s IPX6 splashproof. It can resist high-pressure streams of water, so you can run it safely under the faucet while cleaning it with soap and water. But you should not completely submerge it or use it underwater.
