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 Orion Grande Wand has a wonderfully powerful 9 out of 10 max strength, but lacks any gentle or moderate settings, so its range is poor.

There are no low or mid-powered levels – its 7 settings begin strong and just get stronger. This works great if you typically skip straight to the powerful settings, or if you’re willing to use another toy to warm up first. But if you need a wand with gentle levels, this isn’t it.

I usually prefer to start with softer settings, but since the Orion Grande Wand is so rumbly, I’m surprised that I typically enjoy it without any warmup. The rumbliness prevents the stimulation from feeling jarring to me. It just means I’ll reach the finish line a lot quicker rather than slowly building and enjoying a longer session.

If you need a wand with a wider power range, the BMS PalmPower Extreme and Magic Wand Plus have intense top settings and gentler starting levels.

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 rumbly wands higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them.

The Orion Grande Wand is my most rumbly wand. None of my other wands reach this high a power while staying this low-frequency. Rumbly vibrations near this strength usually come at a much higher price tag.

I love using this wand as a muscle-massager too because the vibrations travel deep into my body like I haven’t experienced with other wands. When I press this wand against my vulva, I often feel the vibrations through my core. The strong, deep vibrations are my favorite thing about it, and are the Orion Grande’s primary advantage over other wands.

With the Orion Grande, you trade off gentle and moderate settings for affordable rumbly vibrations at extreme strengths. It’s best for those who prioritize the strongest, most rumbly vibrations over everything else.

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 Orion Grande Wand is pretty comfortable and very easy to use.

The handle is thick and heavy, which can be tiring to grip and leverage over long periods. This could be problematic if you like to move your wand around and apply firm pressure.

But I find the vibrations are so strong that I don’t have to press very hard with this wand. And its weight provides a natural downward pressure, so my wrist doesn’t have to do much. The handle dampens the vibrations surprisingly well, so they travel only through the head.

The round head has no uncomfortable edges but is firm, which can bump around if you press too hard. I prefer to rest this wand lightly against me, and let the rumbly vibes travel comfortably through me.

The buttons allow you to increase and decrease strength, so you don’t have to cycle through all the settings as you do with many wands. It’s listed as splashproof, but we could not determine its specific IPX rating, so we recommend cleaning it with a damp cloth.

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!

Even though it’s large and heavy, the Orion Grande Wand is a great wand to use during sex, primarily due to its extreme strength and rumbly vibrations. The vibrations travel extremely well through your body, even when you can’t position the head directly near your clit.

This is important because the Grande’s head is big and firm, so you can’t get it as close to your clit when facing your partner as you could a smaller toy. If you want to apply firm pressure and fit the head close, it takes some effort because the thick handle is tiring to grip tightly, and the firm head can bounce against you.

It’s better to rest the wand against you lightly. The power and extreme rumbliness provide great stimulation even with light pressure. This prevents wrist or hand strain and stops it from bumping around. The vibrations are so deep and powerful that direct contact and firm pressure aren’t necessary for strong stimulation.

In doggystyle, the bulbous mid-point on the handle helps keep the wand from slipping down my hand without needing to grip tightly. The handle is also long enough to rest against the bed to help support its weight, which is essential since it’s so heavy.

I have to stagger my legs in the spooning position because otherwise, the vibrations travel into my legs too much. But the smooth, rounded head distributes pressure comfortably and maintains good contact.

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 Orion Grande has average noise levels compared to other wands, but is impressively quiet when you factor in its enormous strength.

In our test, my partner could only hear it from behind the closed bedroom door on the highest settings, and hardly at all. He had to open the door several times to confirm it was actually the toy he was hearing. The low-frequency vibes blend really easily into background noise.

Low and middle levels were completely inaudible.

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 Orion Grande Wand has good compatibility with attachments. Several of my attachments fit it with a variety of stimulation types. It’s an excellent choice if you’d like to experiment with attachments to vary your experience.

For all the attachments that fit this wand, see our wand attachment compatibility table 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.

We test every wand with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Orion Grande Wand works great with both!

The Axis holds the Orion at an angle while you lie across it on your stomach. The large, rounded head provides a comfortable surface to press against, and the rumbly vibes travel deep for excellent stimulation.

The Wanda holds the Orion pointing up, and you straddle it on your knees. The rumbly vibrations travel well, and the head’s surface is comfortable to press against. I wish the head were a bit more plush – it can feel a little firm if you’re using this with a partner, but it’s still very comfortable overall.

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 Orion Grande Wand is rechargeable but has a very short battery life. In my tests, it only lasted 30 minutes on high power. This means it’s essential to charge between uses.

The BMS PalmPower Extreme is another great, powerful wand that lasts 108 minutes if you need something 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 Orion Grande Wand has good build quality. The body feels solid with a strong neck that seems unlikely to break. It’s almost entirely coated in smooth silicone, which feels luxurious.

If you squeeze the head very hard, you can feel that the head’s casing has some strange lumps, but doesn’t affect performance. The silicone at the neck feels a little thin, but hasn’t caused any problems.

I want to note that the first Orion Grande Wand we received was defective. We believe it likely got damaged during shipping, as it never worked for us. We reached out to PeepShowToys (who we purchased it from) right away, and they sent us a replacement, so the above notes are based on our second, properly functioning wand.

The first wand wouldn’t turn on consistently unless we plugged in the charger briefly before use, even if it was fully charged.

The new product does not have any issues and reliably powers on.
