Bellesa Demi Wand vs Magic Wand Rechargeable 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 Magic Wand Rechargeable is the convenient cordless version of the plug-in Magic Wand Plus. I personally prefer the Rechargeable, and it’s one of my favorite wands. Its excellent performance across the board makes it a generally good fit for most people.
It has an excellent power range with some gentler and moderately strong settings while warming up and extremely powerful upper levels. Although it’s minimally less powerful than the corded version (the Plus), I can typically only use its first 3 settings. Very few people will need the slight power increase of the plug-in version. It’s also one of the most rumbly wands making the vibrations feel impactful without numbing or overstimulating.
Though more difficult to maneuver than a mini wand, it’s a comfortable full-sized wand. The side of its large head provides broad vibrations, or you can use the angled lip at the top to get more focused stimulation. Its plush silicone head is very comfortable, solo and during sex.
With one of the longest battery lives of any rechargeable wand, it’s exceptionally convenient, lasting over 4 hours on max power during our testing. It also has a rare feature that allows you to use it while it’s plugged in. So you never have to wait for the battery to charge.

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!
Though the Magic Wand Rechargeable has about 85% of the power of its corded version, it’s still one of the strongest wands in my collection, with a top power of 7.67 out of 10.
With four power levels, the lowest setting starts at 1.75 out of 10, providing an enjoyable warm-up without overwhelming. The second level is slightly stronger than my favorite non-wand vibrators, and the third is substantially more powerful – I usually finish on the second setting, but occasionally want the extra oomph of the third level (often over my clothes)!
I can rarely use the top strength because it’s too intense for me but is excellent if you crave immense power. It’s also worth noting that you can use the Magic Wand Rechargeable while it’s plugged in, but doing so does not increase the strength.
Together, these four settings provide a wide range to enjoy. If you typically prefer gentle stimulation, you might consider the Magic Wand Mini instead (the even smaller Magic Wand Micro is more comparable to a bullet vibrator and too weak for those expecting the strength of a wand). But the Rechargeable is best for those who enjoy moderate to extreme 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.
We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy vibrations since most people prefer rumbliness. The Magic Wand Rechargeable is one of the most rumbly wands I’ve tested – much rumblier than the Magic Wand Waterproof. While a few wands are more rumbly, they underperform in other aspects.
Three of its four power levels are in the rumbly range, with the first two feeling extremely rumbly! I love these vibrations because they travel deeper into my body without being overwhelming or ticklish, unlike buzzy ones.
Since I typically only use the first three power levels, most of my experiences with the Magic Wand Rechargeable are rumbly. Though if you expect you’ll need the extreme power of the fourth level, the vibrations start to feel more neutral.
Personally, I don’t mind an occasional neutral-feeling vibration. And overall, this wand delivers high-quality rumbly vibrations at an impressive strength.
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 Magic Wand Rechargeable is a larger wand, so it takes a bit more effort to maneuver or leverage than smaller, lighter toys. But overall, it’s very comfortable and easy to use.
The plush silicone head is softer than other wands, making it comfortable when pressed firmly against your body. And the neck is flexible, but solid so I can apply considerable pressure without worry. The wide head is great for broad, diffuse pressure. And rather than the round head many wands have, this wand’s head is cylindrical, creating a lip at the top that I can use for more direct pressure and focused stimulation.
Vibrations only transfer minimally through the handle, primarily on the lower power levels. But since the vibrations are rumbly, I don’t find it uncomfortable or distracting as I do with buzzy wands like the Doxy 3R. On high strengths, the Magic Wand’s handle does an excellent job of dampening the hand vibrations.
The Rechargeable’s controls differ from the Magic Wand Plus’s, since the cordless version offers vibration patterns. One button cycles through four steady power levels, and a separate button cycles through its four patterns. While I prefer a setup with separate buttons to increase and decrease power, it’s not a big deal since there are only 4 power levels to cycle through.
The button placement is good – I don’t accidentally press the buttons. And it’s easy to feel them, so I can make adjustments without looking or disrupting the stimulation.
And since this wand is rechargeable, you won’t have to deal with cords getting in the way – part of why I use it more than the Magic Wand Plus.
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!
The Magic Wand Rechargeable is my favorite full-sized wand to use during sex, and I enjoy it in a wide range of positions.
It’s a long wand with a large head, and it’s on the heavier side – all traits you don’t expect to make a great wand for sex. But the rumbly, powerful vibrations and plush, cylindrical head make it work very well.
With my weaker vibrators, I spend more time precisely positioning the toy and leveraging it to get the pressure just right. But since the Magic Wand Rechargeable is extremely powerful and rumbly, I don’t need to place the head in an exact spot with tons of pressure, so its large head isn’t an issue. Its length also makes it easier to use in positions like Doggystyle where I can rest the base against the bed so my arm doesn’t get tired.
The silicone head’s plushness keeps it comfortable, even in movement-heavy positions like Cowgirl. Whereas firm wands like the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman press uncomfortably into my pubic bone in this position.
The cylindrical head’s lip provides a smaller surface to get the more focused stimulation you could with a small wand too. This lip also fits into tight spaces where a large wand’s full head doesn’t. And in more open positions like Spooning, I can use the flat surface for diffuse, broad stimulation.
Being cordless, you can move around more freely with the Magic Wand Rechargeable too.
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 Magic Wand Rechargeable has lower noise levels compared to most other wands with similar power.
For many comparable wands, I can only use the first setting without the vibrations becoming audible. During our tests, my partner couldn’t hear the first two levels from behind a closed bedroom door. And that second power is typically where I finish.
Many will be able to orgasm on these discreet levels. The two extremely powerful top settings were audible in our quiet house, but when I turned on a box fan or played music, my partner couldn’t hear the wand anymore, even on high power. The Rechargeable is also much quieter than the Magic Wand Waterproof – another reason I like the Rechargeable more.
The Rechargeable is a good option if you want strong power and need to remain discreet.
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.
Magic Wand is the leading brand of wand vibrators. So most wand attachments are designed to fit its head. This wand, and similarly-sized wands, have the best compatibility with attachments.
You can find a compatible attachment for many kinds of stimulation including G-spot, prostate, anal, penis, clitoral, and dual-stimulation. And you have a variety of each type to choose from. To see which attachments we’ve tested with the Magic Wand Rechargeable, see our wand attachment compatibility table.
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’ve tested the Magic Wand Rechargeable with both the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play, and it performs well with each.
The Axis positions the wand at a slight upward angle from horizontal. When lying on your stomach on the Axis, the side of the wand’s head rests on your clit.
The wand’s tall, broad head provides plenty of surface area for easy clitoral contact without needing to be deliberate about positioning my body as I do with small wands. The plush texture of the head makes it comfortable to press against, and the full-sized handle keeps it secured in the mount.
With the Wanda mount, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is held upright at a slight tilt. Shorter wands enable you to fully lower your weight onto the mount and rock back and forth to vary stimulation. But due to its full-sized design, this wand’s head sits too high for that.
Instead, it’s best to rest on your hands and knees. In this Doggystyle position, the wand’s head aligns well with my clit. Or you can straddle the mount on your knees, but you’ll need to keep your body elevated. In either position, the Magic Wand Rechargeable’s broad, plush head maintains good contact with my clit and provides excellent stimulation.
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 Magic Wand Rechargeable has one of the longest battery lives of any rechargeable wand I’ve tested. It lasted over 4 hours continuously running on its maximum power during our tests.
This is ideal for someone like me, who forgets to charge their wand between uses. Even better, you can use the Magic Wand Rechargeable while it’s plugged in, so you never have to wait for its battery to charge. Note, this feature is not possible with the Magic Wand Waterproof. Only a couple other wands, like the Maia Nala and Le Wand Rechargeable, have this feature, but the Magic Wand Rechargeable is better overall than these wands.
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 Magic Wand Rechargeable is well-built and feels sturdy. I can apply firm pressure without feeling like I may damage the wand’s neck. Its head is a plush silicone which makes it very comfortable and body-safe: it is non-porous and can be completely sanitized. The older model (the Magic Wand Original) had a porous vinyl head which can harbor bacteria – this is one of many reasons I recommend the Magic Wand Rechargeable and Plus over the Magic Wand Original.
The handle is a solid plastic and the buttons are well-placed and made of a comfortable, grippy silicone. All around, a quality toy.
General Design And Specs
The Magic Wand Rechargeable does not have a waterproof rating, and should only be cleaned with a damp cloth, taking care not to expose electronic components to water. There is a Waterproof version of the Magic Wand if that’s a priority for you. However, the Magic Wand Waterproof underperforms in some areas – it’s much louder and buzzier, at a much higher price. If waterproof play is not a top priority, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is a better fit for most.
