Le Wand Grand Bullet vs Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Le Wand Grand is a bullet that I enjoy for its luxurious body-safe metal construction. The metal build gives this bullet more weight, which naturally applies pressure with the vibrations. And it makes it feel more solid, well-made, and luxurious than my other bullet vibrators.
However, the vibrations are relatively mild, ranging from gentle to mid-powered with a mostly neutral to buzzy feel. Since I personally enjoy buzzy vibrations when they’re only moderately strong, I like the Le Wand Grand. But people who prioritize intense power or deep rumbliness will be let down.
Since it’s one of the most expensive bullet vibrators, I recommend other options to most people. If you prefer more intensity and rumbliness, the We-Vibe Tango X has a wider power range and exceptional rumbliness. As does the We-Vibe Touch X if you enjoy broader stimulation – this one is also a little heavier than most mini vibrators. So it keeps some of the Le Wand Grand’s solid feel, but still doesn’t quite match the Grand’s level of luxury.
The Le Wand Grand is best for those who prioritize a luxurious bullet, prefer some buzziness, and like mild to moderate intensity.
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 Le Wand Grand has a gentle to moderate power range lacking intense levels. The lowest power starts at 2 out of 10 vibration strength, and the highest reaches 5 out of 10. With 4 power levels, the steps between settings are comfortably gradual. This is a nice option for those who prefer milder stimulation but will not satisfy those looking for intensity.
The top strength is enough for me to orgasm with, but it takes some time and effort. Bullets with strengths that reach at least a 6 out of 10 are better if you want an effortless experience. And at this price level, there are plenty of alternatives.
The We-Vibe Touch X is one of my favorite luxury options, and it has an even gentler starting setting while packing more power on high – reaching a 7.75 out of 10. This stimulation is broader than the Le Wand, though.
Or if you’d like a stronger option with a mid-sized tip like the Le Wand Grand, try the Lovense Ambi. Both of these alternatives are less expensive with broader power ranges.
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 rumbly bullets higher than buzzy ones since many people want rumbliness. But personal preferences vary, so consider what you enjoy.
The Le Wand Grand bullet has mediocre rumbliness. The lowest power is in the rumbly range, but I consider the middle two strengths “neutral.” And the top strength is moderately buzzy. If you prefer rumbly vibrations, the We-Vibe Tango X is a better (and cheaper) option for you.
My bullet preferences lean towards a neutral feel, and I like moderately buzzy vibrations when they’re only somewhat strong (like the Le Wand Grand’s top setting is!) So I enjoy the feeling of the Le Wand Grand – especially with that medium strength.
However, I still typically use the Lovense Ambi instead because it has a similar frequency range but gets stronger than the Le Wand Grand. And I enjoy some intensity personally.
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 Grand Bullet comes with a broad, textured silicone attachment designed to stimulate your clit while using the bullet internally for vaginal stimulation.
It works as described, providing some dual-stimulation but not enough strength for me to orgasm. When using the attachment to transfer the vibrations to your clit, they feel much weaker than when directly pressing the motor end of the bullet to your clit. Using the attachment for dual-stimulation can be a fun warm-up activity, but I expect only those who are extra-sensitive will be able to orgasm this way.
As for the internal stimulation, it primarily provides vibrations around the vaginal entrance. The straight shape doesn’t easily target your G-spot as a curved bullet does (like the Pillow Talk Racy).
Stimulation Precision
The Le Wand Grand provides a medium amount of precision from its wide head and rounded tip. You can limit stimulation to a reasonably small area, but it’s less focused than thinner or lipstick-shaped bullet vibrators like the We-Vibe Tango X.
This medium amount of precision is awesome if you enjoy firm pressure. It can comfortably press against your body while distributing the pressure more evenly.
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
Except for its one-button control system, the Le Wand Grand is very comfortable and easy to use.
The awesome weight of this toy from its metal construction is unlike any of my other bullets. It feels luxurious and naturally adds pressure without tiring out my hand. This is one of its biggest assets, and none of my other bullets even come close to the weight of this one.
Vibrations in my hands are minimal and won’t distract the average user. I find that the bumps on the silicone surface don’t add anything to the experience, but they also don’t detract. The silicone tip can also be removed if you prefer.
The only downside is its one-button control system. There’s one button on the base of the bullet. And you need to cycle through the 4 intensity levels and 11 patterns – you cannot move backward without cycling through the remaining settings. Many bullets use a one-button system, but for a bullet at this high price point, I was expecting the ability to conveniently toggle up or back down to reach my preferred setting quickly.
If this bothers you, the We-Vibe Tango X and We-Vibe Touch X have separate buttons to increase or decrease strength. And a third button to separately tap through patterns.
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 Grand is a great size fit between bodies, leverage, and maneuver during sex. It doesn’t get in the way, and the weight helps to add a pleasant natural pressure.
The weight takes a little extra effort to hold upward in positions where you’re working against gravity, like the spooning position. But that’s only when you compare it to the ease of use in missionary or other positions where the weight is a huge asset. The average user will not grow tired of holding this toy during 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 Grand is one of my quietest bullet vibrators! It’s completely inaudible from behind a closed door, so you can play discreetly without worry of being overheard.
And besides that, the decibel level is very low. So even if you’re easily annoyed by buzzing sounds, this one is hardly noticeable.
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 Grand Bullet’s battery life is passable. It’s rechargeable and lasts about 75 minutes, constantly running on high power.
If battery life is an aspect you prioritize, there are longer-lasting options. For instance, the We-Vibe Tango X lasts for 105 minutes on high, and since it’s stronger than the Le Wand Grand bullet, you can use its middle power levels and extend the battery even 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 Grand’s build quality is exceptional. Because of its solid metal construction, it’s the heaviest of my bullets (but not tiring to hold). The weight provides a luxurious feel while also reassuring that it’s well-built and solid. The head has a silky silicone cap, and the button press has a nice feel. The luxury design, materials, and aesthetic are a big reason to consider this bullet.
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 Grand is very easy to clean. It’s 100% waterproof, so you can completely submerge it while you clean! You don’t need to avoid water getting into specific areas. You can also take it in the bath with you.
This bullet is IPX7 waterproof, which makes cleaning very easy. You can fully submerge it while scrubbing without worrying about water causing damage.
