Bellesa Demi Wand vs Lelo Smart Wand 2 - Medium 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 Lelo Smart Wand 2 (Medium) is pretty pricey and underperforms if you’re expecting a typical wand vibrator experience. It’s nothing like its powerful, rumbly full-sized version – the Lelo Smart Wand 2 (Large).
The Medium’s power is very soft, and I have a hard time orgasming with it. Its compact size and curved handle make it easy to use solo or during sex – but the gentle stimulation just doesn’t do much for me personally.
I think this wand is meant for someone who prefers milder levels of stimulation (more akin to many bullet vibrators than a wand), but who wants something easier to hold and maneuver than a small bullet. If that’s you – I’d recommend checking out the Lelo Mona 2 instead or some of the wands I discuss more below.
The Mona 2 is a slim vibrator that’s easy to use for clit stimulation solo or during sex. Like the Smart Wand Medium, the Mona 2 has gentle low levels – but it also gets stronger when you want more power!
If you’re expecting the extreme strength wand vibrators are famous for, you’ll need to consider other options. The Lovense Domi is a mid-sized wand with excellent power range if you want something compact. Or if you enjoy Lelo’s toys, you may consider their full-sized Smart Wand 2 (Large) which is more powerful.

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 Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium is one of the least powerful wands I own. Its vibrations are gentle from start to finish. I can orgasm with it, but it takes time and effort.
I have bullet vibrators that are stronger than this wand. If all you want is the strength of a bullet, I would recommend something less expensive like the Lovense Ambi, or the We-Vibe Tango X if you prefer more rumbly vibrations. Or if you want something with a bit more length and a handle to grip, consider the Lelo Mona 2 or Lovense Hyphy.
But if you want the strength that wands are famous for, then there are several stronger, cheaper wands. Consider the Lovense Domi or BMS PalmPower Extreme for powerful mid-sized wands. Or the Magic Wand Plus for a full-sized wand.
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.
This wand’s vibrations are rumbly (low-frequency) rather than buzzy (high-frequency). And typically, rumbly vibrations are what people prefer.
However, the Smart Wand 2 Medium’s vibrations are so low-powered, that they still have little impact on me even with their rumbliness. But there are many wands that have more power with the same amount of rumbliness, and our rumbliness rating takes this into account.
Some of these include the Lovense Domi 2, We-Vibe Wand 2, and the full-sized Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large – each is a powerful, rumbly wand.
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 Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium is a comfortable and easy-to-use wand. Its thin, curved handle is comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver.
The smaller head has a tiny bit of flex in the neck, which is perfect for comfy, yet firm pressure. And the buttons let you increase and decrease power to get the right stimulation level. You don’t need to cycle through power levels.
But if you’re going to buy a wand at this price, you can find more better options that are just as comfortable. The Magic Wand Mini is an excellent option that’s a similar size, has stronger vibrations, is just as comfortable – and is much cheaper.
The Dame Com is another mid-sized wand massager with a curved handle that’s helpful for applying firm pressure. But I enjoy its vibrations more.
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!
This wand’s size and curved shape are fairly convenient during sex, but the stimulation is too low to be truly enjoyable.
If you want any sort of stimulation from these low-powered vibes, you have to apply the pressure more directly to your clit than is usual for a wand. And even though the head is not large – it’s not as small as my bullets. So I have a more difficult time getting good clitoral contact during sex, between our bodies.
I recommend either using a smaller vibrator like the We-Vibe Tango X or Lovense Hyphy.
Or if you prefer a wand massager, you can just get something stronger. This way, you don’t need contact with your clit to be as direct to feel the vibes. I enjoy plenty of other wands during sex.
The BMS PalmPower Extreme and Lovense Domi are two of my favorites.
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 Lelo Smart Wand 2 (Medium) is definitely one of the quietest wands I own. But it’s not hard to be this quiet with such low power. There are many stronger wands that also remain discreet.
The We-Vibe Wand 2 for instance is a compact option that’s about 5x stronger and very discreet. My partner can’t hear any of its power levels on the other side of the closed bedroom door.
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.
The Smart Wand Medium has limited compatibility with wand attachments.
Its head is close enough in size to the Lovense Domi’s that the attachments designed for it also fit the Smart Wand. These cover a decent range of stimulation (G-spot, anal, prostate, penis, clitoral texture). But you don’t have many options beyond these attachments.
If attachment compatibility is important to you, a full-sized wand is a better option. Most attachments are designed for the Magic Wand Rechargeable and Plus (or comparably-sized wands).
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’ mount compatibility with my two Liberator mounts – the Axis and Wanda. These hold your wand for you so you can enjoy hands-free stimulation.
The Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium fits well with the Wanda mount. This mount holds the wand in a slightly angled upright position. Then you straddle the mount for hands-free vibes. With the Smart Wand Medium’s more compact size, its head is positioned at just the right height. You can easily lower your weight onto it – whereas full-sized wands can stick up too high in the Wanda.
It doesn’t work as well in the Liberator Axis. With this mount, you lie on your stomach and the Axis holds your wand to the side at a slight upward angle. In this position, the Smart Wand’s smaller size hurts it. It doesn’t reach my clit as easily as larger wands and I have to focus on keeping my body in just the right position.
With mounts, I prefer wand vibrator’s with larger heads. The BMS PalmPower Extreme and Dame Com are my two favorites to use with both mounts. They have larger heads and angled shapes that help keep them in better contact with my clit than the Smart Wand Medium.
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!
The Lelo Smart Wand Medium has one of the shortest battery lives of all my wands. It lasts just 40 minutes on its highest power.
There are several longer-lasting options with more power. The comparably-sized Magic Wand Mini has more power and lasts for 3.5 hours on high! It’s a great option if you’re like me, and forget to charge your wand between uses.
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.
The sleek, silicone and metallic plastic handle gives a sleek look to the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium that’s comfortable and functional. Overall this wand feels well-built and solid, though its motor is gentler than other wands.
