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 We-Vibe Wand 2 has an intense top power of 7.33 out of 10 and an excellent power range, starting at a gentle 1.7 out of 10 strength.

This power range is wonderful for those who can get easily overstimulated because its lowest settings are very mild. With 10 intensity levels, steps between settings are gradual and comfortable. There’s one little jump, but it’s not distracting at all. And with such a broad range, you’re very likely to find settings at your ideal strength.

While there are some wands with an even more intense top setting, the We-Vibe Wand 2’s maximum strength of 7.33 is plenty for me. It’s about 1.2x stronger than the original We-Vibe Wand, and it packs an intensity that I consider extreme. Plus, since this wand is rumbly, the vibrations are especially impactful.

If you want more intensity, consider the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Lovense Domi 2. But most people will be happy with the We-Vibe Wand 2’s power.

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 wands with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has excellent rumbliness. Its vibrations are even deeper than the original version’s (which was famous for being a rumbly wand). And the updated wand’s settings are stronger while being more rumbly which is a great improvement.

Every power level is extremely or moderately rumbly except for the top strength, which has a neutral feel – this wand never becomes buzzy.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 also has a very similar vibration profile to the famous Magic Wand Rechargeable. If you look at the graph below, notice how the two wands’ vibrations lie along nearly the same curve. Since their vibrations are so similar, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is a great waterproof alternative to the Magic Wand Rechargeable, which has no water protection.

If you enjoy deep vibrations that travel into your body and impact a wide area, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is one of the best choices.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the We-Vibe app’s Close-Range Features, its Long-Distance Features, and its Connectivity in detail, and I’ll share videos demoing the app.

But here’s the main conclusion:

The We-Vibe app’s close-range features are decent for controlling the We-Vibe Wand 2.

The close-range features provide useful but basic control over your vibrations – mainly allowing you to select from preset patterns and change their intensity. Whereas other apps like Lovense’s provide a higher degree of customization, letting you create your own patterns in the moment, enjoy patterns other users have shared, and much more.

If in-depth control of your vibrations is a priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is a better wand for you. But if more basic control is fine, here’s what you can do in We-Vibe’s app:

In Single Vibe Mode, you select a predesigned vibration pattern, then drag the on-screen dot up or down to change the intensity.

If you want to change quickly between different vibration patterns, use the Multi-Vibe mode. Here, you can assign a different vibration pattern to each corner of the screen. When you drag the dot into a corner, that pattern starts vibrating. Drag the dot farther from the center to make the vibrations more powerful.

You used to be able to create your own pattern by drawing it on the screen, but this feature was very clunky and is no longer available. Instead, you can create your own custom “playlist” by combining pre-made patterns and adjusting their intensity and duration. We don’t know whether We-Vibe intends to bring back an improved pattern creation feature in the future.

Touch Mode lets you control the vibration intensity by moving your fingers across your screen. The faster you move, the stronger the vibrations are. It’s tiring, so I don’t use this feature.

Beat Mode lets you select a song saved on your phone, and the We-Vibe Wand vibrates to the music. Ambient Mode is similar, but the vibrations respond to the noise around you that your phone’s mic picks up. With both of these features, you can adjust whether the vibrations respond to the treble, midrange, or bass sounds, and you can adjust how strong the vibrations are.

I usually use these sound modes (especially Beat Mode) as a set-it-and-forget-it way to control my We-Vibe toys. The vibrations continually change without my active input. But it’s usually more fun with a wearable toy like the We-Vibe Chorus or We-Vibe Sync.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 (and the original version) are my only app-controlled wands with full-sized heads. The main control screens (Single Vibe and Multi Vibe) work well – they’re just basic. So if you want a full-sized wand with app control as a bonus, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is a good choice.
But if the app is your biggest priority, I recommend the Lovense Domi 2 instead. It’s a smaller wand but has better app functionality and features.

When you can get connected with your partner, the We-Vibe app’s long-distance features are pretty good – but there are some connection issues during long-distance play that are not present during nearby play (I discuss that issue in detail in the Connectivity section).

Within the app, you can send messages, photos, or video chat with your partner anywhere in the world. Your long-distance partner will use the same Single or Multi-Vibe control panels that you use during close-range play. So they can easily select a pattern and adjust its intensity.

You can mute the mic or turn off the camera if you’d prefer to provide control of your wand without sharing visuals or audio. And if your partner has a We-Vibe toy, you can control each others’ toys simultaneously!

You can save multiple partners in the app, but you can’t send out anonymous links like you can with Lovense. Anyone controlling your toy will need your We-Vibe username.

Overall, We-Vibe’s app provides all the necessary long-distance features. But Lovense’s features are more extensive, allowing anonymous play, customized settings for each partner such as allowing them to take control of your toy without requiring permission first, and more.

So if long-distance play is a major priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is a better wand (also because its long-distance connection is better – discussed next).

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has reliable connectivity with the app in nearby Bluetooth mode, but its connection during long-distance play is unreliable.

For nearby play, the wand connects quickly and easily to the app over Bluetooth. The app walks you through connecting to your toy each time, and the process works consistently. I reliably pair the We-Vibe Wand in just a few seconds. And once it’s connected, it maintains the connection well. I don’t encounter issues with it dropping its connection, even after long periods of time.

In our test, we also separated the We-Vibe Wand 2 from the connected phone by about 275 feet before it lost its connection (your own results may vary). So, the Bluetooth range is excellent.

However, the connection during long-distance play is unreliable due to a glitch in the We-Vibe app that has appeared on and off over the years. If you need reliable long-distance play, get the Lovense Domi 2 instead.

The We-Vibe app sometimes shows both partners’ status as “offline” even though we are both online. When this glitch happens, you cannot share control of your wand at all because the app won’t let you send an invite to your partner. When this issue has occurred, we’ve tried several workarounds with limited success. Neither updating the app, deleting the We-Vibe app and redownloading it, nor trying to create a new partner profile have resolved the issue. What has worked for us is this:

1. Both partners need to open the settings tab in the We-Vibe app and select Factory Reset.
2. Then when you go to connect your We-Vibe Wand 2, you will be prompted to update the vibrator’s firmware. Go ahead and update it.
3. Then, re-add your partner in the We-Vibe app. At this point, we’ve been able to connect again long-distance.

We don’t know whether this solution universally works for everyone, but it’s what has worked for us. Anytime we get connected, we’re able to stay connected. But as you can see, getting connected in the first place is often frustrating.

We-Vibe also updates their app frequently. Sometimes, it seems to take care of this issue, and we go weeks or months without experiencing the glitch. But then one day, we log into the app, and the issue returns. So we recommend Lovense if long-distance play is a priority since they have been consistently excellent for years.

For nearby play, we have had several years of consistently great connection from We-Vibe. But their long-distance connection has not proven to have the same reliability.

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 We-Vibe Wand 2 is very comfortable and easy to use.

This wand has better controls than most wand vibrators, with four primary buttons. It has two separate buttons to increase and decrease power. And two more buttons allow you to move forward and backward through the patterns. Most other wands only have a single button to rotate through patterns, which can be frustrating if you accidentally click once too far.

In my opinion, the buttons are an improvement from the original We-Vibe Wand’s joystick, which was quite stiff. So, I often had to use two hands to adjust the power of the original We-Vibe Wand. And it was easy to overshoot your intended power level. This isn’t so with the updated version.

The buttons to change the patterns also feel distinctly different from those to adjust the power, which is rare. So I don’t accidentally change the pattern when trying to increase the intensity because you can tell the correct button just from its feel.

The rigid, curved handle and slightly flexible neck make it easy to leverage the wand and apply pressure. And the head’s slight plushness keeps this pressure against your body comfortable – though it’s not quite as soft as the Magic Wand Rechargeable’s silicone.

A slight annoyance is that the handle’s curve rests awkwardly in my hand if I use it with the curve facing toward me. In this orientation, the handle only contacts the outside edge of my palm and the space between my thumb and index finger, so the pressure is not dispersed evenly along the full length of my palm as most handles do. It may feel a bit awkward – especially if you’re using it for a long time.

I prefer using it with the curve pointing away from me because gripping it this way is more comfortable. This also points the tapered section of the head towards me, which is great for more focused pressure, which I enjoy.

The vibrations travel some into your hand, especially on the highest power. It’s less than most wands this strong, but for those who are already sensitive to this, it may be slightly distracting if you use this wand for an extended period.

The shape of the We-Vibe Wand 2’s head was updated, and I love the new design because it’s more versatile. The original version’s head was a more typical cylindrical shape, so you got broad pressure from the side of the head or more focused pressure using the lip.

The new wand’s head offers even more variation because it’s wider on the front side, narrower on the back side, and still has the lip at the top. So using the front of the head, you get very broad contact that blankets your entire vulva. The tapered backside provides a long stretch of slimmer surface area that’s between broad and focused stimulation. And the lip at the top lets you limit contact to a more precise spot.

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 We-Vibe Wand 2 is excellent to use during sex.

It’s fantastic in the Spooning position because you have plenty of space in front of you to maneuver the handle, and the tall head applies comfortable, evenly distributed pressure.

Even in positions facing your partner where space is limited, you can still get good contact in pretty tight spots because the cylindrical head shape and tapered section help it fit more easily than large, rounded heads. And even when you can’t fit the head right near your clit, the rumbly vibrations travel well in any position, so the stimulation is still excellent.

The only position I found a bit trickier to use the We-Vibe Wand 2 is Doggystyle. The wand is a little heavy, and since the handle is somewhat short, you can’t easily prop the base against the bed to support the weight. However, you can put a pillow under the wand if your arm gets tired from holding it up.

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 We-Vibe Wand 2 has excellent noise levels, especially considering its power.

When we tested the wand’s noise while I used it in the bedroom, my partner could not hear it from the other side of the door on any of its settings, including the highest power. It’s fantastic if you need something discreet without sacrificing power.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 also has a unique optional feature called Smart Silence, which prevents the wand from vibrating unless pressed against your body. This can also be helpful for discretion since many toys are louder when vibrating in the open air than when pressed to your body (In our tests, it was quiet enough even without using the Smart Silence feature, but this gives you an extra level of reassurance).

The Smart Silence feature works well. The vibrations start and stop instantly upon pressing it to my body and lifting it off. And it can tell whether the head is in contact with me or some other random object. If you do not like this feature, it’s easy to turn off.

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 We-Vibe Wand 2 works wonderfully with wand attachments.

Its head size is close to major full-sized wands like the Magic Wands or Doxy Wands, so most attachments are designed for heads about this size. You can find a ton of compatible attachments that offer a broad range of stimulation.

Unfortunately, the We-Vibe Wand 2 does not come with its own attachments like the original version did. However, the old We-Vibe Wand’s attachments are compatible with the new one!

To see all the attachments we’ve tested for compatibility with the We-Vibe Wand 2, head to our wand attachment compatibility table here.

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.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is fantastic in my wand mounts. We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play.

You can face the curve in either direction when placed in the Wanda mount, which makes the We-Vibe Wand 2 especially versatile. One direction positions the wand’s head higher up so you can kneel over the mount for penetration from behind. Or face the wand the other way so the head lies just above the mount’s fabric – this way, you can comfortably sit directly on the mount for hands-free stimulation.

It also works well in the Liberator Axis. The tall head and slight upward curve help it reach your clit more easily than other wands. And the broad head provides plenty of good surface area for comfortable, enjoyable stimulation. It doesn’t provide as firm of pressure as a more sharply angled head like the BMS PalmPower Extreme’s, but it’s still excellent. The deep, rumbly vibrations also travel deep to stimulate really well.

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 We-Vibe Wand 2 is rechargeable and has a fantastic battery life, lasting 147 minutes on its highest power in our test. This is well above average and plenty of time for me. I can use it multiple times between charges.

It comes with We-Vibe’s typical USB magnetic charging cable.

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 We-Vibe Wand 2 has excellent build quality. The buttons feel much higher quality than the joystick control of the original We-Vibe Wand. The motor sounds better and doesn’t rattle like the older one.

The silky silicone coats most of the toy and feels very luxurious, with plush sections on the head that are really comfortable. It feels like a solid and well-built toy. The neck seems very secure too – I apply pressure without feeling worried I’ll damage the wand.
