Le Wand Grand Bullet vs Pillow Talk Flirty 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 Pillow Talk Flirty is one of the most affordable bullet vibrators. It has a gentle to mid-strength power range with mostly neutral to buzzy vibrations. It’s quiet, easy to use, and water-resistant for easy cleaning. But the battery only lasts about 40 minutes on high power, so you’ll have to charge it frequently.
If you prefer more power and rumbliness, consider the Pillow Talk Racy for about $20 more. Or the Blush Limited Addiction is a more powerful alternative in the Flirty’s price range, but this one lacks any gentle warmup settings. The Pillow Talk Flirty is a great budget-friendly bullet vibrator if you prefer mild to moderate vibrations and find high intensity overwhelming.

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 Pillow Talk Flirty has gentle to mid-level power. It’s excellent for those who prefer milder vibrations or get overstimulated by intense power.
To move through its power range, you press and hold the button to increase power gradually. As a result, steps between intensity levels are subtle and comfortable. And the Flirty covers the mild to moderate power range very well.
The lowest power starts at 1.5 out of 10 vibration strength, but the highest only reaches 5 out of 10. When I use the Pillow Talk Flirty, I can orgasm from it, but it takes some effort. So it’s not one I reach for often, but it can be great for those overstimulated by intense power.
If you prefer more power, consider the Blush Limited Addiction in this price range. It’s stronger but lacks gentle levels. Or, if you want to keep those low powers but add some strength, try the slightly more expensive Pillow Talk Racy.
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 vibrators higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people want. But preferences vary, so consider what you enjoy.
The Pillow Talk Flirty has below-average rumbliness. Its softest power levels are in the rumbly range, but most people will use these gentle levels only briefly while warming up. Its stronger power levels range from neutral-feeling to moderately buzzy.
It can be enjoyable if you prefer buzzy vibrations. But I find the mild power paired with the buzzy frequency packs little impact. So it’s best if you like light stimulation. I enjoy neutral or moderately buzzy vibrations, but typically when paired with more strength than the Flirty has.
You’ll need to increase your budget slightly if you prefer rumbly vibrations. The Pillow Talk Racy is the most affordable bullet with great rumbliness. Or you could go with a mini wand like the BMS Swan Era, which is even more rumbly than the Racy, and not much pricier.
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.
The Pillow Talk Flirty provides a medium amount of precision for a bullet. The tip is slightly bulbous, spreading out the vibrations a bit and making it comfortable to press firmly against my body.
It’s less precise than tapered and lipstick-shaped bullet vibrators. But it’s more focused than broad mini vibrators like the Dame Pom or We-Vibe Touch X. The amount of precision you enjoy is entirely a personal preference.
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 Pillow Talk Flirty is a very comfortable bullet that’s easy to use. It’s relatively long for a bullet vibrator (4.3 inches), making it very comfortable to grip, leverage, and apply pressure. The vibrations don’t travel into my hand much, so the grip is fantastic. And the button to adjust power is easily within my reach without needing to change my hold on the bullet.
The control system takes some getting used to, but is straightforward once you learn it. Hold the Flirty’s button, and the bullet will gradually increase power. Once it reaches your desired strength, you release the button. To move back down, you’ll need to double-click the button to begin again at the gentlest setting.
I prefer vibrators with two buttons to increase and decrease power, but I like that the Flirty’s system inherently provides gradual, subtle steps between intensity levels.
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 Pillow Talk Flirty is easy to use during sex. It’s best in a spooning position or others where you’re facing away from your partner. The relatively slender size is great for fitting into tight spots. And since it has a slight flex, it’s very comfortable and able to keep great contact, even with a bit of jostling around. The slight flexibility makes it a bit more difficult to apply pressure during sex, but still easier than most bullets since it’s longer.
Positions where you’re facing your partner are a little trickier because you have to angle the toy so the end of it doesn’t hit your partner’s chest. But since it’s not a very long toy, it’s very doable. It just takes some intentionality.
While the Pillow Talk Flirty is good during sex, I have even better success with the Pillow Talk Racy because the tip of the toy curves inward. This helps to maintain good contact without having to angle the bullet in a way that contacts my partner’s chest.
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 Pillow Talk Flirty is one of my quietest bullet vibrators! While recording its decibel readings with our Sound Level Meter, it was quieter than the room’s ambient sound. When I’m using it in our bedroom, my partner cannot hear it from the other side of the closed door on any power levels. So it’s safe to use if you live with others.
The discreet noise is no surprise since it’s only mid-powered. If you want something quiet but prefer stronger bullet vibrators, consider the Pillow Talk Racy.
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 Flirty’s battery life is short compared to most bullets, especially when you consider its low power range. You’ll definitely want to make sure to charge it fully between each use.
If you’re the type to forget to charge it (like me), you’ll want to pick something with a longer battery life. The Je Joue Classic is a great option. And even though the Blush Limited Addiction’s battery life isn’t much higher, you can extend it even further if you use some low or middle power levels.
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 Pillow Talk Flirty has an excellent build quality, especially for an inexpensive bullet vibrator. The silicone feels smooth, but grippy and is luxurious. And the slight flexibility makes it comfortable, but it still feels sturdy. I’m not concerned about breaking it with too much pressure.
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.
The Pillow Talk Flirty is IPX6 water-resistant, which makes it very easy to clean. IPX6 products can resist “high-pressure, heavy sprays of water” so you can wash it under a faucet without worrying about damaging the toy. Just clean with soap and water.
