Bellesa Demi Wand vs Nirvana Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
Demi Lovato’s wand vibrator collaboration with Bellesa Boutique is much more similar to a bullet vibrator than a typical wand – both in size and vibration power.
The Demi Wand’s small size makes it reasonably easy to use during sex since it fits in tight spaces. But I found its head too flexible making it difficult to apply pressure where I want it. And since its top power level only matches the middle strength of my favorite comparably-priced bullet vibrators, I recommend other options.
If you want something small like the Demi Wand, a bullet vibrator like the Lovense Ambi or We-Vibe Tango X will be a better fit for most people. Or other small wands like the BMS Swan Era are also better. If you want a more typical wand vibrator experience (tons of power, broad stimulation, longer handles, etc.), there are several better wands at a similar (or even lower) price.
I’ll mention some of my favorites in the sections below based on how they perform best – or you can jump down here to see my main recommendations for alternatives to the Demi Wand.
The Bellesa Nirvana is a decent wand and I enjoy it. But it’s one of the more expensive wand vibrators we’ve tested, and doesn’t truly outperform budget-friendly wands to justify the high price tag.
Its medium size does make it comfortable and easy to use solo or during sex, and it’s very compatible with mounts – but there are others like it. And the Bellesa Nirvana’s vibrations are just average – neither super powerful nor especially rumbly.
There are several better wands in this price range or cheaper.
If you’re drawn to the compact size of the Bellesa Nirvana, the Lovense Domi is a great option. It’s similar in size, but has stronger, more rumbly vibrations – and it costs less! Or the BMS PalmPower Extreme is another cheaper wand with better vibrations – this one also has an ergonomic shape like the Nirvana.
Vibrations: Power And Range
The Bellesa Demi Wand has 8 power levels that are all very close together and low-powered. They’re not at all what I expect from a typical wand vibrator. Demi’s power range is much more comparable to the low and middle power levels of a small bullet vibrator.
And I actually find the Demi is less powerful than my favorite bullets like the Lovense Ambi and We-Vibe Tango X (which also outperform the Demi in other aspects). So even if you are only looking for bullet-level vibration strength, I would go with one of those instead.
While I can orgasm with the Bellesa Demi Wand, it’s much easier with one of my bullets.
And if you want the typical enormous power wand vibrators are famous for: the Magic Wand Plus is in this same price range and has 6x the strength of the Bellesa Demi!
The Bellesa Nirvana has 5 power levels with subtle jumps between settings. Great for a gradual build.
The top level is mid-powered for a wand, but it’s actually still stronger than my favorite non-wand vibrators. Personally, I don’t use the extreme, upper levels some wands reach very often. So I’m satisfied with the strength of the Bellesa Nirvana’s vibrations…
But not at this price!
If you’re like me and you typically enjoy moderate (but not overwhelming) power – the Dame Com and Magic Wand Mini both have wonderful mid-powered vibrations without costing as much as the Nirvana.
And if you like a lot of power, the Lovense Domi and BMS PalmPower Extreme both reach those immense power levels at a lower price tag. These both have excellent power range with lovely low levels too – so I also enjoy them even when I don’t want crazy strength.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We also test and rate how rumbly or buzzy each wand vibrator is.
We award wand vibrators with more rumbly vibrations a high score in this category since most people prefer rumbly vibrations. But some people prefer more neutral or even buzzy vibrations – so a low score in Vibration Frequency may not mean a wand is a bad choice for you.
In fact, some of my favorite vibrators (like the Lovense Hyphy) are very buzzy. So it really depends on what you enjoy!
The Bellesa Demi’s lowest three power levels are actually in the rumbly range. But since this wand is so low-powered, I mostly use the highest powers.
And the three strongest settings are definitely buzzy. Other small wands like the BMS Swan Era have much more powerful, rumbly settings.
Even if you enjoy more neutral or buzzy-feeling vibrators, I’d still recommend a higher-quality bullet like the Lovense Ambi which offers a nice mix of buzziness and rumbliness.
But if you’re like most people, and want something deep and rumbly – the Lovense Domi 2 and Dame Com are some of the best wand vibrators with extremely rumbly vibrations.
The Bellesa Nirvana’s first two power levels are extremely and moderately rumbly respectively. But that rumbliness is gone on the three highest power levels which feel more neutral.
This may or may not be a positive for you.
We rate wands with more rumbly vibrations higher than neutral or buzzy wands because most people prefer rumbly vibrations. So the Nirvana scores fairly low in this category.
But the choice between buzzy or rumbly vibes is ultimately a personal preference – and many enjoy vibrations near the middle of the spectrum like the Bellesa Nirvana.
If you don’t like your vibrations too far on the rumbly side, you’ll enjoy how the Nirvana feels! But, then I’d still recommend you check out the Lovehoney Mantric Wand instead. The Mantric is practically the same vibrator for about half the cost.
And if you prefer deep, rumbly vibrations: try the Lovense Domi or Dame Com instead. Both have excellent, rumbly vibrations throughout their entire power range!
Comfort & Ease of Use
I found the Bellesa Demi Wand to be one of the least comfortable and more difficult wands to use.
It’s certainly not painful – none of my wand vibrators are. It’s just designed poorly for comfortable, longer sessions.
It’s a very small wand, which means you have to reach farther to place the Demi in the right spot. Whereas mid-sized and larger wands have a nice handle you can gently hold with minimal reach.
But the Bellesa Demi Wand’s extremely flexible neck is the main reason this vibrator is difficult to use. I like to press my vibrators firmly against me – it helps push the vibes deeper! But when you apply pressure with the Demi Wand, its head just flexes away.
If you want to press the Demi with any force, you need to place your fingers on the head itself and push it against you.
You can’t simply use the handle to leverage the vibrator as you can with less flexible wands like the Dame Com. Or even rigid bullet vibrators like the Lovense Ambi and We-Vibe Tango X.
The Nirvana’s slender, smooth, curved handle and slim head make it a comfortable wand to maneuver and leverage for good pressure. Not to mention it’s completely waterproof and easy to clean!
You may have been drawn to the Nirvana because it’s one of our top performers in this category. But you can find other wands that are just as comfortable, and perform better in other areas – at a lower cost.
I’d recommend the Magic Wand Mini if you want a compact wand. Or the Viben Sultry if you want something longer.
Use During Sex
I do find the Demi Wand reasonably easy to use during sex.
The small head and compact size help it fit easily between my partner’s body and mine. I enjoy it decently in Cowgirl, Spooning, and Modified Missionary positions.
Doggystyle is the only position that using the Demi wand is just plain bad. Because it’s so small, you have to reach far to keep the head pressed to your clit – and in a position like Doggystyle where you’re also supporting your own body weight, reaching this far gets tiring.
And in every position, a major drawback is that you can’t get firm pressure because of the extremely flexible neck.
If you want a small wand with better pressure, the Blush Noje W4 is another mini wand that I enjoyed much more during sex. It’s easier to leverage, and it’s cheaper! Or you could go with a bullet like the Lovense Ambi.
If you have the budget, the BMS PalmPower Extreme has an angled head that provides incredible pressure and helps the wand fit well between bodies during sex – even with its larger size. It gets almost perfect scores in all 4 positions! And since it’s larger, it offers much more vibration power.
If you typically have sex in Doggystyle, I find medium-length or long wand vibrators are best. The Lovense Domi 2 is one of my favorites in this position!
Many of the same features that make the Bellesa Nirvana comfortable and easy to use solo also make it great during sex – the smaller size and curved handle in particular.
The Nirvana performs best in the Spooning position, Modified Missionary, and Cowgirl. Doggystyle is a little trickier since you’re working against gravity and pressing the toy upwards. My arm gets tired because it’s not tall enough to rest the weight of the wand on the bed.
If you want something that works better for all positions, I’d recommend the Lovense Domi 2 or the BMS PalmPower Extreme. These are less expensive than the Bellesa Nirvana.
And they’re all-around better wands!
Noise
Demi Lovato’s Bellesa wand is definitely very quiet.
It has one of the lowest decibel readings on both low and high power. And when my partner and I tested whether someone can hear it behind a closed door, the Demi wand remained inaudible on all power levels.
But the main reason it’s so quiet is that the Demi is very low-powered. If you want something stronger that remains discreet, the Magic Wand Rechargeable or Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large are both only audible behind a closed door on the highest power level. And each has the substantial vibration power people associate with wands.
The Bellesa Nirvana is fairly quiet in use. It only measures 35dB on low power and high power.
But we also test with my partner listening on the other side of our closed bedroom door while I use the wand in bed. During these tests, he could hear the Nirvana on its middle through high power levels. There’s a slight rattle or some other off-sound that makes it more perceptible.
The Lelo Smart Wand 2 (Large) and Viben Sultry have more power while remaining more discreet. And even the Magic Wand Rechargeable with its enormous vibration strength was only audible at its highest power level.
Attachment Compatibility
The Bellesa Demi is compatible with very few attachments. Of the more than 25 wand attachments we own, it’s only compatible with Lovehoney’s Queen G (a G-spot attachment designed for the Lovehoney Deluxe Mini Massage Wand)
Most attachments are designed for full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable (among others). While most attachments fit a range of wands, very few are designed to fit tiny heads like the Bellesa Demi’s. If you value attachment compatibility, consider the Magic Wand Plus or Rechargeable.
For a smaller wand, the Bellesa Nirvana has fair attachment compatibility (most wand attachments are designed for full-sized options like the Magic Wand Rechargeable).
The Nirvana’s compatible with the Lovense Domi’s attachments. And these cover a broad range of stimulation: adding texture, or providing penis, G-spot, prostate, or anal stimulation.
If you want a ton of variety, you’ll want to consider a larger wand vibrator.
There are several that score a “10” for wand compatibility on my list, but my favorite is the Magic Wand Rechargeable.
Mount Compatibility
We test our wands with the Liberator’s wand mounts – the Axis and Wanda. These mounts are designed to hold your wand vibrator so you can enjoy hands-free clit stimulation.
Unfortunately, the Demi wand is too small for either mount. As with wand attachments, wand mounts are designed for mid to full-sized wand vibrators.
If you value hands-free play – the BMS PalmPower Extreme and Dame Com are my favorites to use with both wand mounts. They have an angled head or a curved handle, which helps them provide better pressure and clitoral contact when held in the Liberator Axis mount. And more angles to try in the Wanda mount.
I test my wands with the Liberator Axis mount and Liberator Wanda mount – these mounts hold your wand so you can enjoy hands-free stimulation. They’re also great if you don’t like holding a vibrator during partnered sex.
The Axis lets you lay on your stomach on top of the mount while it holds the wand between your legs. And the Wanda lets you straddle the mount for stimulation.
The Bellesa Nirvana is very compatible with both of these because of its medium size and curved handle. I’ve found curved wands tend to provide the best pressure and clitoral contact when used with a mount.
But for its price, since the Nirvana underperforms in other areas I’d recommend a cheaper wand – one that scores even higher in this category:
This one’s my favorite wand vibrator to use with a mount. It’s also less expensive and more powerful. It has a slightly wider, angled head that gives excellent clit stimulation with either mount.
Battery Life
The Bellesa Demi wand has a pretty short battery life. I test all my wands’ battery life by charging them fully – then letting them run on high power until they die.
The Demi Wand lasted only 55 minutes. And since it’s pretty low-powered, most people will be cranking it on high the whole time – so there’s not much room to extend the battery life by mixing in lower strengths.
If you value longer play sessions the Lovense Domi will give you at least two hours of play. Or the Magic Wand Rechargeable lasts over 4 hours!
I test battery life by charging all my wands fully – then letting them run continuously on high power until they die. The Nirvana lasted about 105 minutes.
This is plenty of time to play solo or with a partner. But there are several toys at this price point that have longer battery lives. Especially if you know you’re going to forget to charge between uses.
The Magic Wand Mini and Magic Wand Rechargeable, for example, will double your play time!
Build Quality
The silicone on my Demi Wand has a nice texture and feels high-quality. I’ve not had any issues with it breaking, though the neck is very flexible, and I am a little suspicious that it won’t have the longest life. Because it has very weak vibrations, you’ll likely be pressing and bending this wand very hard, so it has to take some wear and tear.
This wand feels very sturdy and the silicone seems high-quality. Overall, it’s pretty well constructed, though it has an occasional rattle sound in the vibrations. It hasn’t affected its performance but may be annoying to some.
