BMS PalmPower Extreme vs Doxy Go Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The BMS PalmPower Extreme is the wand I use most!
It’s the most powerful rechargeable wand I’ve tested, surpassing all but the corded Doxy Die Cast, which is buzzier and underperforms in other areas. The PalmPower Extreme also has great low and moderate levels for those who need a warmup or prefer milder stimulation.
Its rumbly-to-neutral vibration range is right in my sweet spot, as it remains extremely rumbly on lower settings without becoming buzzy on high. Other comparably powerful wands like the Magic Wand Plus and Doxy Die Cast become buzzy at their highest settings.
Despite its power, this wand is more compact and lighter than full-sized wands making it easier to maneuver. The angled head helps it fit comfortably between our bodies during sex and makes applying firm pressure easy. It’s also my favorite wand to use hands-free with a mount. Its excellent vibrations, comfort, and ease of use have made this my go-to wand.
The Doxy Go is the new miniature wand from Doxy’s famous line of wands. As expected from its tiny size, its strength is weaker than the other Doxy Wands. It’s more similar to my strongest bullet vibrators – certainly impactful, but not like a large wand.
If you’re expecting the powerful, rumbly vibrations of a typical wand, the 3.75 out of 10 max strength will be disappointing. The Magic Wand Plus or Magic Wand Mini are great, stronger alternatives in this price range. But this product is a nice option if you want a cute, miniature version of a Doxy wand for gentler, more bullet-like vibes.
The shape and metal handle look very similar to my full-sized Doxy Die Cast, which is fun for hard-core collectors. Its tiny size makes it easy to maneuver for solo play or with a partner. And the head provides broader stimulation than most bullet vibrators which many will enjoy.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The BMS PalmPower Extreme is one of the most powerful rechargeable wand vibrators.
At a 9 out of 10 top strength, only a small handful of wands, like the Magic Wand Plus, Magic Wand Waterproof, and the Doxy Die Cast, are comparable.
I usually orgasm on the PalmPower Extreme’s second level, rarely using the third, and almost never the top power because it’s so immense. But power queens and kings will love these upper settings.
The lowest setting’s 2 out of 10 strength is excellent because I need these softer vibrations for a warm-up. I’m not ready for the second level’s strength immediately, so I spend considerable time on the first level. This setting is impactful, warming me up without feeling overwhelming. Then, I switch to the second level and usually finish there!
You can also access a broad range of power levels spanning between the 4 default settings by using PalmPower’s incremental control. By holding the plus or minus button, the wand’s power will slowly and gradually change power. When it reaches your desired strength, release the button.
With its wide power range from soft to extreme and the ability to gradually step through levels, most people will find something they enjoy.
The Doxy Go has a very limited power range with only mild settings. It reaches a 3.75 out of 10 strength on high (on a scale compared to wand vibrators). Its power is more similar to my strongest bullet vibrators. In fact, its top strength feels about the same as the highest setting of the Doxy bullet (which I rate a 10 out of 10 strength compared to other bullets).
It’s enough strength for me, and could work if you don’t need the enormous intensity wands are famous for – many people don’t. The gradual power settings in this gentle range are helpful if you’re easily overstimulated.
But if you expect a typical wand’s immense power, this will be disappointing. For a similar price, the Magic Wand Plus offers more than double the power and a much wider range of intensity. Or if you still want a mini wand, the Magic Wand Mini is another stronger option in this price range.
Compared to other Doxy wands, this is the weakest. Most of them even start at nearly double the strength.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
The BMS PalmPower Extreme’s frequency range is right in my sweet spot, ranging from extremely rumbly to neutral. The lowest level is extremely rumbly – part of what makes it an excellent warmup level that’s not overstimulating. And the second level (my favorite) is moderately rumbly. To me, this is the perfect combination of the comfortable, deep impact that comes from rumbliness, and the bit of a “zing” that extremely rumbly vibrations are sometimes missing.
As you increase power, a wand’s frequency always becomes less rumbly, and the PalmPower Extreme’s top two levels are neutral. But it doesn’t cross into the buzzy range as other comparably powerful wands like the Magic Wand Plus, Magic Wand Waterproof, and Doxy Die Cast do. But if you value a bit better rumbliness, you may enjoy the We-Vibe Wand 2 more.
Overall, the vibration feel and frequency of this wand contribute to it being one of my favorites!
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them. However, this is an area of personal preference, so pick what you like best.
The Doxy Go only has rumbly vibrations on the two lowest settings. The medium and high strengths (which you’ll likely use more) feel neutral or buzzy. The rumbly start provides a comfortable intro. And since I enjoy buzzy vibrations, I like the zingy feel of the higher top settings too.
But if you want deeper, rumbly vibrations that reach moderate strength, the Magic Wand Mini is a great alternative.
Comfort & Ease of Use
Though this wand has the power and broad head of a full-sized wand, the PalmPower Extreme is more compact and lighter making it easy to maneuver like a mini wand. The weight feels balanced in my hands and the silicone-backed handle is comfortable to grip.
Most importantly, the angled head is not a gimmick, as I thought it might be before using this wand. It helps me leverage the wand more easily and apply pressure while keeping my hands in a comfortable position. I value comfort, so this was a major benefit for me.
Unlike the Magic Wand Rechargeable’s plush silicone, the PalmPower Extreme’s head is firm, yet still comfortable since the neck has some flexibility; But not too much that applying firm pressure becomes difficult. It’s an excellent balance.
The buttons are easy to feel and press without looking. There are separate buttons to increase and decrease power, so you don’t need to cycle through intensity levels. The incremental control is great for accessing power levels beyond the 4 default settings. Hold the plus or minus button to gradually change the power and release it when it reaches a level you enjoy.
And it’s the only wand this powerful that’s fully waterproof – so cleaning it is easy.
I reach for this wand very often, because it provides a great, comfortable experience, with excellent vibrations!
The Doxy Go is very comfortable and easy to use.
The firm head is small, so it’s easy to limit contact to only the spots where you want pressure. The flexible neck keeps the head from bumping uncomfortably against you – though it doesn’t provide as firm of pressure as more rigid wands. The smooth silicone head feels luxurious, with no distracting seams.
The small size and lighter weight make it easy to move around quickly. At only 6.31 inches long, it’s shorter than typical wands requiring a further reach. But the handle still has enough length to grip and leverage easily. Plus, it’s longer than most bullet vibrators (typically 3.5-5 inches long), with a distinct handle, so it’s easier to use than most mini vibrators.
You can feel some minor vibrations in the handle, but they’re only distracting if you’re especially sensitive to this (if so, the Magic Wand Mini does a better job of dampening hand vibes).
The controls allow you to increase and decrease power, which is very convenient. You can even adjust the strength of each pattern. Button placement is excellent for minimal hand-adjustment, without inhibiting your grip. It’s also waterproof, so cleaning is easy.
It’s a great choice if you value a comfortable mini wand with excellent controls!
Use During Sex
This wand is in my top two for use during sex (and my favorite to use with a wand mount for hands-free sex).
While its head isn’t tiny like mini wands, it’s slimmer and smaller than full-sized wands. So it still fits well between bodies and in tight spaces during sex. And since its vibrations have a substantial impact, precisely positioning this wand isn’t necessary to get the clit stimulation I need.
The angled head is especially helpful during sex. The head’s angle rests between my legs while the handle lies comfortably parallel along my body. So the handle does not stick out or get in the way, preventing me from leveraging the wand as a straight handle can – this is especially beneficial in positions facing each other like Missionary or Cowgirl.
The handle is also compact but still has enough length that you can rest the base on your bed to help support the wand in certain positions like Spooning or Doggystyle. If you plan to use your wand regularly with a partner, this is an excellent choice.
The Doxy Go is a great wand to use during sex.
Its small size is easy to fit into tight spots, which is especially helpful in positions facing each other. The smaller head provides precise contact, which you can limit to a particular area.
The short handle won’t bump against your partner. Though in positions facing away from your partner, some may prefer a longer handle so you don’t have to reach as far. Thankfully, it’s light and easy to move around, which is helpful in doggystyle and positions where you’re holding the wand up, so your arm doesn’t tire.
Noise
As an extremely powerful wand, the BMS PalmPower Extreme is not one of the quietest options. It’s discreet on its lower levels, remaining inaudible behind a closed door. But my partner could hear its middle and upper settings during our testing.
This is pretty typical for a wand this strong. If you plan to use its highest settings while others are home, you may need to play music to remain discreet. Though I typically orgasm on its lower levels which are quieter.
The Doxy Go has good noise levels. In our test, the actual decibel measurements were lower than most of my wands.
My partner couldn’t hear the low or medium settings from behind a closed bedroom door. He could barely hear the highest setting because the vibrations are somewhat high-pitched. But he thinks most people won’t be able to notice it – keep in mind, during our testing he stands right on the other side of our door and tries to hear the wand.
If you need something discreet, this could work. But there are stronger wands with similarly discreet noise levels, like the Viben Sultry.
Attachment Compatibility
The BMS PalmPower Extreme has limited compatibility with wand attachments. Its head is mid-sized, so it’s incompatible with attachments designed for full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable. There is an insertable (G-spot, anal, or prostate) attachment designed specifically for this wand, but it’s a little flimsy.
However, attachments designed for the Le Wand Petite also fit the BMS PalmPower Extreme. These attachments cover a broad variety of stimulation and are high quality. If you want to explore wand attachments for this wand, I’d recommend Le Wand’s. Head to our full wand attachment compatibility table for the full breakdown of attachments we’ve tested.
The Doxy Go has poor attachment compatibility. Only two of my attachments fit it.
Most attachments are designed for larger wand heads. So, if you want something to fit a variety of attachments, the Magic Wand Plus is better. The Magic Wand Mini also fits a variety of mid-sized attachments.
Mount Compatibility
I test all my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play. The BMS PalmPower Extreme’s angled head makes it my favorite to use with both (solo and during sex).
The Axis holds the wand at a slight upward angle between my legs as I lie on my stomach across the mount. I can rest in this position and orgasm solo, or my partner can enter from behind – my favorite way to use this wand! Hands-free sex using the Axis and PalmPower Extreme combo has become a go-to move for my partner and me.
In this position, the head’s upward angle positions it closer to my clit than a straight wand and applies additional pressure. I don’t need to adjust my body to maintain contact as I do with other wands. The angle sets this wand apart and makes all the difference if you love firm pressure!
It also has the best versatility in the Liberator Wanda since I can face its angled head two different directions. One direction raises the head which is excellent when I’m on my hands and knees which requires greater height. This position works really well during sex. The other direction places the head just above the fabric. This lets me straddle the mount and sit directly on it, leaning forward or backward to vary the stimulation.
Overall, the BMS PalmPower Extreme is extremely versatile with mounts, and does a great job at keeping firm, consistent contact with my body for excellent stimulation. It’s my favorite for hands-free play.
We test our wands’ mount compatibility with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Doxy Go has poor compatibility with both.
The Doxy Go is too small to fit into the Wanda at all, and it’s really not worth using in the Axis. The Axis holds the Doxy Go tilted slightly upward while you lie across on your stomach. However, it’s so small that it doesn’t make good, consistent contact with your clit. So the vibes are minimal.
In this price range, the Magic Wand Plus or Magic Wand Mini work better with both mounts. For firmer pressure and broader contact, choose the Plus. For milder pressure and more precise contact, go with the Magic Wand Mini.
Battery Life
In our testing, this rechargeable wand lasted 108 minutes continuously vibrating on its max power. This is slightly above average, though there are longer-lasting wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable if that’s a big priority.
Unlike many wands which use proprietary chargers, the BMS PalmPower Extreme simply uses a USB Type C cable, so it’s easy to replace if you lose it.
The Doxy Go is rechargeable and has an average battery life, lasting 75 minutes on high. Since it only reaches mild strengths, this isn’t especially impressive.
Options like the Magic Wand Mini are stronger and last longer (210 minutes in our test), which is helpful if you often forget to charge between uses.
Build Quality
This wand has an excellent build. The combination of a silicone-backed handle with a solid plastic front feels very sturdy and comfortable. The motor is excellent quality – the only one this powerful that does not become buzzy.
The head’s neck flexes a good amount without feeling flimsy – I can apply firm pressure without worry. And the silicone-coated buttons are easy to feel and comfortable to press. And its waterproof rating makes sure it won’t be damaged while cleaning.
The Doxy Go has excellent build quality. The weighted metal handle feels luxurious, even though it’s small.
The silicone head and buttons have a nice feel, and the flexible neck seems sturdy enough to withstand pressure without breaking.
General Design And Specs
Note: The manufacturer’s website lists the PalmPower Extreme as “Waterproof.” Some retailers, including PeepShowToys and SheVibe list the wand as only “Splashproof” which is incorrect. We contacted BMS Factory directly by email and asked them to confirm the waterproof rating. They confirmed the BMS PalmPower Extreme is IPX7 Waterproof (submersible).
