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.

The Fun Factory Vim has an excellent power range that starts gently and reaches extreme strength on high.

Although there are even more powerful wands, I consider the Vim’s top strength of 7.3 out of 10 extremely intense and more than enough for me. I rarely use the top levels because the first few settings provide plenty of stimulation. It’s especially strong, considering how rumbly the Vim is – most wands that reach this strength become buzzy.

The Fun Factory Vim’s 5 preset power levels provide a gradual journey from gentle to intense. The initial strength of 1.7 out of 10 provides an enjoyable warmup without overstimulating. And steps from one setting to the next are comfortably small.

You can make the transitions even more subtle by holding down the (+) or (-) buttons. This slowly increases or decreases the motor’s power until you release the button. It allows you to access intermediate power levels beyond the Fun Factory Vim’s 5 predetermined settings. Holding the (-) button also allows you to reach an even gentler starting level.

Because the Fun Factory Vim’s power range is wide and gradual, you’ll likely find settings that suit you. The only people who might not be satisfied with the Vim’s power range are those who want as much intensity as possible. If that’s you, consider the Doxy Die Cast or BMS PalmPower Extreme, but most people will not need more power than the Vim offers.

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!

We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. Rumbly vibrations travel deeper and impact the entire area. But some people like buzzy vibrations that stay near the surface, so consider your preferences!

The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding rumbliness. The heavy weight in its motor creates impactful vibrations without needing to spin as fast as a lighter motor (slower speeds feel more rumbly, and faster speeds feel buzzier).

It reaches a deeper, more rumbly level on its lowest setting than any of my other wands. The first 4 of 5 settings are extremely rumbly. And even the highest power is still moderately rumbly. Most wand vibrators that reach a comparable strength are buzzier.

The Fun Factory Vim is my main wand vibrator recommendation for those who value rumbly vibrations. Although the Lelo Smart Wand 2 and Orion Grande Wand have even lower-frequency vibrations than the Fun Factory Vim, they’re worse wands overall.

If you’re familiar with the We-Vibe Tango X, a small bullet vibrator famous for being super rumbly – the Fun Factory Vim is even more rumbly, while being much stronger!

I also find the Vim’s extreme rumbliness feels particularly enjoyable with my Liberator Axis mount for hands-free stimulation during sex.

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.

The Fun Factory Vim is very comfortable and extremely easy to use, especially for a full-sized wand vibrator.

Although the Vim’s motor is heavy, the overall weight is lighter than most full-sized wands, making it easier to maneuver. The fact that most of the weight is in the Vim’s head helps it naturally press the vibes deeper without needing to leverage the wand as much with your wrists.

The Vim’s handle is slim and covered with a slightly plush, textured silicone, providing a comfortable grip. The Vim’s silicone feels especially luxurious. And the vibrations are not at all distracting in my hands – they travel less into the handle than many other wands this powerful.

The head is fairly firm, which can feel less comfortable when pressing against less fleshy areas (like your pubic bone). But the Vim’s flexible neck helps keep it comfortable despite its firmness. And the wide head (2.4 inches) spreads the contact comfortably over a broad surface area.

The Fun Factory Vim’s controls are excellent and easy to use too.

It turns on and off with a simple press of the button (no need to hold it down like several wands require). But more importantly, it has separate buttons to increase and decrease power. You do not have to cycle through all the settings to return to a previous strength. And if you want more gradual increments between intensity levels, you can hold the (+) or (-) button to change the power slowly.

The only thing that could improve its controls is an additional button to move through the vibration patterns. You change vibration patterns by using the (+) and (-) buttons. Once you’ve reached the top strength, clicking the (+) button again will move you into the vibration patterns. You cannot alter the pattern’s strength since you use the (+) and (-) buttons to change vibration patterns. This is not a big concern since most people rarely use vibration patterns.

You can also use the Fun Factory Vim’s travel lock to keep it from accidentally turning on in storage. Just press and hold the “Fun” and “-” buttons together for 2 seconds to lock it. Hold “Fun” and “+” to unlock.

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!

The Fun Factory Vim works great during sex. Though it’s larger than I typically prefer during sex, the Vim’s rumbliness allows the vibrations to travel deep into my body in an effective way that’s not overstimulating.

So even though I can’t fit the Vim’s head directly near my clit in face-to-face positions where space is limited, the vibrations are still effective because they travel to my clit anyway!

Spooning and Doggystyle positions with the Vim are awesome! The head comfortably distributes pressure and vibrations, and I can grip the handle at multiple points along the handle for excellent leverage. The long handle is especially useful because you can prop it on the bed in these positions if your arm gets tired.

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.

The Fun Factory Vim has excellent noise levels. It’s the best option for those looking to balance power and discretion. Only weaker wand vibrators are quieter than the Fun Factory Vim.

For a wand this powerful, the decibel readings were especially low.

And during our testing, I could use most of the power settings in the bedroom without my partner being able to hear from the other side of the door. My partner could only hear the top level. And even then, my partner noted that he could barely make out the Vim’s sound. The vibrations are so deep that they’re unnoticeable unless you’re trying to listen for it.

Turning on a box fan easily masks the noise if you’re worried.

Since the vibrations are so rumbly, they have an excellent, deep sound that isn’t distracting. So, if you’re easily annoyed by noise, the Vim is a great choice!

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.

The Fun Factory Vim has fantastic compatibility with wand attachments. Most attachments are designed for wands with a full-sized head like the Fun Factory Vim.

You can find compatible attachments for various stimulation, including clitoral, G-spot, penis, prostate, and dual-stimulation. You can see all the attachments I’ve tested for compatibility with the Fun Factory Vim here.

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:

The BMS PalmPower Extreme!

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.

The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding compatibility with Liberator’s wand mounts for hands-free play. I test all my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. Both work very well with the Vim.

The Axis holds your wand while you lie across the mount on your stomach. I like using the Axis to hold my wand to my clit during sex while my partner penetrates from behind. The Axis grips the Vim’s handle firmly, keeping it securely in place.

And although curved or angled wands (like the BMS PalmPower Extreme) contact my clit more firmly, the Vim still maintains great clitoral contact and stimulates well. At 2.4 inches, the Vim’s head is one of the widest, which helps it reach my clit easily. And the exceptional rumbliness is a huge bonus during hands-free use. The rumbly vibrations travel deep and stimulate my clit even if the head is positioned away from my clit.

The Fun Factory Vim works even better with the Liberator Wanda because you have more variety. If you press the handle down far enough, you can enjoy the vibrations while fully sitting on the Wanda mount, which I love during alone time. Or you can position it farther up in the mount and straddle it on your hands and knees, which works great for hands-free stimulation during penetration from behind with a partner.

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!

The Fun Factory Vim is rechargeable and has good battery life. During our testing, it lasted about an hour and a half, continuously vibrating on its maximum power. Since it’s such a powerful wand, it’s also likely that you’ll use its lower and middle levels quite a bit. So your actual runtime will likely be longer.

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.

The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding build quality and feels exceptionally luxurious. The silicone is slightly plush, grippy, and textured – all of which feel comfortable and luxurious.

The solid weight of the motor makes it feel durable. The head is also heavier than the handle, so it naturally tips the wand down at the angle you want. The Vim seems very solid, and the flexibility in the neck is the perfect amount to keep it comfortable without feeling like it will break when I press firmly.
