When the PalmPower Recharge is working properly (see the issues I encountered here), it has excellent vibration power and range – especially for a wand this small.

The BMS brand excels at fitting powerful motors into compact toys! For instance, the PalmPower Extreme is one of my most powerful wand vibrators despite being just a mid-sized wand. And the BMS Essential Bullet is my cheapest bullet vibrator with excellent power. The PalmPower Recharge is no exception.

It also has soft low levels that are great when warming up. Then you press and hold the button to gradually increase power.

The PalmPower Recharge’s top power feels 70% as strong as the Doxy Die Cast’s (my strongest wand vibrator). That’s really impressive given how much smaller and lighter the PalmPower is – the Doxy is nearly 5x heavier.

Unfortunately, it frequently drops back down to a lower power level. So in practical use, it doesn’t always maintain that top strength.

At the same cost, you can get the FemmeFun Ultra Wand, which is similar in size (though has a slightly larger head), and reaches the same top strength of 7/10. The downside is that it starts somewhat strong even on the lowest power level. So if you need some soft warmup levels too, you may consider the Magic Wand Mini instead.

Or if you’re up for a larger wand, the Magic Wand Plus is also about the same price. And it has an even wider power range. It’s the most powerful wand under $100.

While I’m happy with the BMS PalmPower Recharge’s vibration strength when it’s working well – these other wands have provided a much more reliable experience.

Note: The vibration levels shown on the Power vs Frequency Graph are taken by increasing the power in 10% increments using the Lovense Remote app from 0% to 100%. The Lovense Domi’s power maxes out when the app’s display reads 80% so only 8 levels are shown.   

The Lovense Domi 2 is the most powerful small wand vibrator I’ve found (we consider wands less than 10 inches long, weighing under 11 ounces to be small). It’s just as powerful as the full-sized Magic Wand Rechargeable and other large wands.

While most small wands are only slightly stronger than other vibrators (like G-spot and rabbit vibrators), the Domi is substantially more powerful. I typically use just its lower and middle levels to orgasm, finding its top few settings too intense for me. But if you like extreme power, this wand can deliver it.

It also has a fairly broad power range with some softer low levels, though you need to use the Lovense Remote app to access its gentlest settings. The physical buttons access just 3 of the motor’s 16 levels, beginning around 40% power. However, you can adjust the 3 presets and set them to any strength you want.

Just navigate to the “Adjust Levels” screen in the Lovense app and set each setting to your preferred intensity.

If you need gentle stimulation while warming up, you may need to use the app, but I find the on-toy settings comfortable personally.

When using the app to control the Domi, you can slide a dot along the screen to increase and decrease its power. This allows you to move through settings gradually and comfortably at your pace.

The BMS PalmPower Recharge’s lower powers are fairly rumbly. But it gets buzzy on its highest powers.

My favorite wands tend to be a little more rumbly than this wand. The Magic Wand Plus (high-powered) and Dame Com (moderately powered) are great, rumbly options in this price range.

Or for a rumbly wand closer to the PalmPower Recharge’s size, consider the Lovense Domi 2.

We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy vibes, since most people prefer rumbliness. But preferences vary, so consider what you enjoy!

The Lovense Domi is an extremely rumbly wand through most of its power range, only becoming moderately rumbly on its highest settings. It’s one of the few wands that remains rumbly at such a high power. And it’s better overall than other strong, comparably rumbly wands like the Orion Grande Wand.

These vibrations travel deep and feel impactful. Rumbly vibrations like this feel widespread and affect the entire area. But unlike large rumbly wands, the Domi’s small head allows you to press them into a more focused area. As a result, you get both broad stimulation from the intense rumbliness and targeted stimulation from the smaller head. This is fairly unique to the Lovense Domi, and something I really enjoy about this wand.

Most Lovense toys, like the Lovense Lush 3 and Ambi, are toward the middle of the rumbly-to-buzzy spectrum. Only a few, including the Lovense Exomoon and Domi 2 are rumbly. So if you’re familiar with Lovense’s other toys, the Lovense Domi 2 will feel much more rumbly than these.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Lovense 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:

I have many remote and app-controlled toys, and Lovense’s app is by far my favorite of any brand. It provides the most control, is easiest to use, and has the most reliable connectivity. Compared to other app-controlled wands like the Kiiroo ProWand and We-Vibe Wand 2, the Lovense Domi 2 is the clear winner if exceptional app control is your priority.

The Lovense app’s close-range features are fantastic for controlling the Domi 2.

In the main remote screen, you’ll control the Domi by dragging its corresponding dot up and down to adjust the power. This screen makes it easy to set your Domi exactly at your preferred intensity or quickly create your own patterns. Tap “Float” to keep the Domi’s power constant. Or click “Loop” to quickly repeat the pattern you draw on-screen. We’ve found similar features in other apps like the Kiiroo ProWand’s to be much clunkier than Lovense’s implementation.

If you don’t want to draw your own pattern, you can choose a preset pattern or select from the hundreds of patterns other Lovense users have designed and shared.

You can also sync the Domi’s vibrations with songs saved on your phone using the Music feature. While Spotify streaming was once an option too, Spotify discontinued compatibility with third-party apps in 2022. So no brands’ app controlled vibrators have this capability anymore.

With the Sound feature, the Domi vibrates in response to ambient sounds picked up by your phone’s mic. You can adjust the sensitivity to control how much sound is required for the Domi to react. Lastly, you can set an alarm to cause the Domi to vibrate at a specific time.

Overall, the Lovense app provides a wide variety of ways to play, and their implementation is more intuitive than other brands.

The Lovense app also lets you connect with a long-distance partner anywhere in the world using Wifi or cell data. Lovense’s long distance experience is also the best of any app-control brand.

Your long distance partner has access to many of the same features you have during nearby play. They’ll control your Domi’s vibrations with the same Remote screen. They can use “Float” to set your Domi at a constant power or use “Loop” to create vibrations patterns.

By comparison, the Kiiroo ProWand only allows your partner to adjust vibration strength with a slider, but not send patterns. The We-Vibe Wand 2 allows your partner to adjust intensity of different preset patterns, but not design your own like you can with Lovense.

You can video chat or message each other within the Lovense app – you don’t need to have a separate video app open on your phone. The control screen overlays on the video and if you’d rather see your partner better you can minimize the controls.

Lovense has some additional long-distance features over other brands. You can save multiple partners, not just one (though We-Vibe and Satisfyer also allow multiple partners now). And you can generate an anonymous control link for one-time use. So you can provide someone control of your Domi for 5 minutes (or any amount of time you choose). When the time is up, they cannot control your Domi anymore.

Perhaps the greatest reason Lovense is our favorite app-controlled vibrator brand is that their bluetooth connectivity is the most reliable.

The initial pairing between the Domi and the app is fast. I turn the Domi on, click “Add new toy,” and my phone finds the Domi in seconds. After the first time you’ve paired the toy and app, they typically connect immediately upon turning the wand on and opening the Lovense app. It’s a faster and more reliable pairing process than I’ve experienced with other apps, which can sometimes take several tries and troubleshooting to get connected.

Once I’m connected, the Domi stays connected. Though a disruption can occasionally occur, I can typically play over half an hour without experiencing any disconnections. When the connection does drop, it typically repairs automatically within seconds.

Connectivity is excellent in long-distance mode too unless you or your partner has poor Wifi or a bad cell signal. It works like this: you will connect to the Domi wand using your phone’s Bluetooth, the same as if you’re controlling the Domi yourself. Then your partner will connect to your phone over the internet (using Wifi or cell data). So your phone’s connection to the Domi is the same high quality as in Bluetooth mode. The rest comes down to your and your long-distance partner’s internet reliability or cell signal.

The BMS PalmPower Rechargeable is not painful or difficult to use. But it has some quirks to get used to.

I find the thin, tapered handle awkward to hold and leverage. And I’m not a fan of the seam running through the middle of the head either. The seam is there so you can remove the default head, and put on a PalmPower Recharge wand attachment. But the seam is uncomfortable when I press the wand to my body.

The control system is a feature you’ll either love or hate. It has one button – and instead of tapping once to change the power level, you press and hold the button. The power continues increasing until you release the button. I personally find it irritating because you can easily pass up your intended power level. Then you need to turn the wand off and back on to start over.

For comparably priced wands with more traditional controls and comfortable heads consider the Magic Wand Mini or Magic Wand Plus.

If you want a comfortable wand with an especially small head like the PalmPower’s, the Lovense Domi 2 is a good option.

As a compact wand, the Lovense Domi 2 is easier to maneuver than bulkier, heavier full-sized wands. Its head is even smaller than most mini wands making it especially great for precise stimulation or to fit in tight spaces.

Though the head is less plush than squishy wands like the Magic Wand Mini, its neck has good flexibility which keeps the contact with my body comfortable even when I’m applying firm pressure.

The handle can vibrate a bit during use. But this happens mostly on its lower powers. Since these settings are gentler and very rumbly, I don’t find it distracting. The handle is also slimmer than most wands, so it’s easier to grip and leverage with one hand.

There are separate buttons to increase and decrease the power, so you don’t need to cycle through intensity levels as you do with many other wands. But if you want access to its full power range, you need to control it through the app.

The Domi is also IPX6 splashproof so cleaning it is easy. It can safely resist high-pressure water, so you can clean it under a running faucet.

The BMS Rechargeable does pretty well during sex. It’s short and has a small head, so it fits easily between your bodies. And maneuvering it around your vulva is a breeze.

It does best in Spooning, Modified Missionary, and Cowgirl positions. If it weren’t for the uncomfortable seam along its head and its unreliable power, I’d really enjoy the PalmPower Recharge during sex.

It’s not the best choice for Doggystyle though. I find mid-sized or taller wands work better in this position. Since you also have to support your bodyweight, reaching back so far with a small wand can get tiring.

The Lovense Domi is one of my favorites to use in all positions. It has a slightly longer handle than the PalmPower Recharge, which helps in Doggystyle. But its head is still short and slim – so it fits easily between legs and bodies.

Or if you’re needing to stick closer to the PalmPower’s price, the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand is a great option! It’s fairly small and has a more comfortable head. So it works better in all positions.

The Lovense Domi’s small size and powerful, rumbly vibrations make it one of my favorites to use during sex.

It’s not heavy like many full-sized wands, so supporting its weight in positions like Doggystyle and Spooning is easy. And since the head is so small, without sacrificing vibration power, it fits easily into tight spaces. With many full-sized wands, I need to adjust my body to accommodate the wand in certain positions. For instance, I may need to lean backward in Cowgirl to fit a large head between our bodies. But I can fit the Domi between us without thinking or adjusting.

The flexible neck also keeps it comfortable during sex. Using more rigid wands like the Lovehoney Deluxe Plug-In Wand often puts uncomfortable pressure on my pubic bone as my partner and I move during sex. The Domi’s neck has enough flex to keep it comfortable, but it’s stiff enough that it doesn’t take effort to leverage the toy for better pressure.

The shorter handle is also helpful during sex. It provides plenty of length to get a firm grip, but it doesn’t stick out far enough to interfere with our bodies or take up too much space.

I also love the deep, rumbly vibrations, because they travel deeper into my body and stimulate my clit indirectly – even if I don’t have the wand’s head placed right by my clit. This makes it so that it’s not always necessary to position the Domi’s head in a precise spot during sex.

In a silent house, the BMS PalmPower Rechargeable’s upper power levels can be heard from the other side of a closed bedroom door. But its middle and low levels remain inaudible. This is fairly common with wands this powerful.

And when I turn a box fan on in the bedroom, my partner can no longer hear the wand from the other side of the door. Music will also mask its sound.

If you are nervous about noise, the Viben Sultry has even more power than the PalmPower Recharge, but it remains inaudible behind a closed door on all power levels. Even without a fan or music.

Unfortunately, this wand is loud. It doesn’t distract me when using it, but if you live with others you’ll need to be discreet. When testing a wand’s noise, I have my partner listen on the other side of our closed bedroom door to learn whether he can hear the vibrations. My partner could hear the Domi even on low power.

So it’s best to use this wand when you’re home alone or people aren’t directly in the next room. However, when I turned on a box fan or music in the bedroom, my partner could no longer hear the Domi on any power. So you do have some options.

The BMS PalmPower Recharge is only compatible with BMS’s attachments designed specifically for the PalmPower.

You can remove the default silicone cap over the motor and replace it with any of the PalmPower’s attachments. The attachments and motor have matching grooves that secure them to each other.

BMS offers several attachments for this wand, so you still have some selection range. They have insertable attachments for G-spot, prostate, anal, and dual-stimulation. They also have some fluttery attachments to change how your clit stimulation feels. But there are no compatible attachments designed for penis stimulation.

And other brands’ attachments do not fit the PalmPower Recharge since its head is so much smaller than other wands. If you want more attachment selection than BMS provides, you’ll likely want to choose a full-sized wand like the Magic Wand Plus or Magic Wand Rechargeable which are compatible with attachments from many brands.

Because the Lovense Domi 2’s head is smaller than most wands, it has limited compatibility with attachments. Lovense designed two attachments specifically for the Domi which provide a variety of stimulation including penis, G-spot, anal, prostate, and clitoral texture. I’ve also found the Wand Essentials Vibra Cup penis masturbator fits the Domi’s head.

I test all my wands with my two Liberator mounts for hands-free play: the Axis and Wanda.

Unfortunately, the BMS PalmPower Rechargeable is too small for either mount. I can’t get any clit stimulation from it.

The head just barely sticks out past the Axis, and it’s completely swallowed up in the Wanda. Plus, since the tapered handle is so thin, the mounts hold the PalmPower Recharge very loosely.

If hands-free play is a big priority to you, I’d recommend getting a medium or large wand.

The Dame Com and Magic Wand Plus both work well with Liberator mounts. They’re in the same price range as the PalmPower Recharge.

And my favorite wand to use in mounts is the BMS PalmPower Extreme. This wand’s angled head is positioned just right and applies the best pressure during hands-free play.

I test my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free stimulation. The Lovense Domi is a little too small to be amazing with the Axis, but it’s decent. Its compact size is great for the Wanda though. And the app control adds an additional layer of fun with mounts over other wands.

The Axis mount works best when lying on your stomach on the mount. It holds the Domi horizontally at a slight upward angle between your legs. The Domi’s short, narrow head doesn’t naturally apply much pressure on my clit in this position as larger wands do. I need to angle my hips down to keep the Domi in firm contact. It still feels good, but its not effortless as it is with other wands like the BMS PalmPower Extreme.

With the Wanda mount, the Axis is held upright at a slight angle. I can straddle the mount and fully sit on it, leaning forward or backward to adjust the pressure and intensity.

The Wanda holds the Domi upright at a slight angle as you straddle the mount. Here the Domi’s short length and small height work well because its head sticks up just barely past the fabric of the mount. So I can lower my weight down and rest directly on the mount, leaning forward or backward to vary the stimulation.

I can also lean all the way forward onto my elbows and knees to create space for penetration from behind. Though in this position it’s a bit of a stretch to keep the Domi in contact with my clit.

One aspect that makes the Domi more fun with mounts is that you can give complete control of the vibrations to your partner using the app. This can make it both a hands-free and mentaly free activity! Another benefit of the app, is that you don’t need to remove the wand from the mount or take a brief pause to adjust its power as you do with many wands.

The BMS PalmPower Rechargeable has a relatively short battery life compared to other wands. It lasts for about an hour on high power – which is still plenty of time for most people, but you’ll need to remember to charge it between uses.

If you enjoy longer sessions, many wands provide more playtime between charges. The Lovense Domi 2 is a similar size to the BMS PalmPower Recharge and lasts over 2 hours on high.

The Lovense Domi’s rechargeable battery lasted 125 minutes continuously vibrating on its max power during our testing. While there are wands with an even longer battery life, the Domi is above average.

The BMS PalmPower Recharge’s poor build quality is the main dealbreaker for me.

The motor fluctuates between power levels, rather than remaining at the intensity I set. The fact that it drops from 100% power to 20%, then jumps back to 40% makes it very distracting to use. And it sometimes causes me to lose my orgasm.

I noticed this issue with the first PalmPower Rechargeable I bought, so I purchased a second one to review in case it was a fluke. Unfortunately, I encountered the same issue with the replacement.

The Domi feels solid and built to last. The smooth head is coated with silicone, and the plastic handle feels sturdy. The neck does not feel flimsy when you press this toy against your body with firm pressure. We’ve had no issues with this wand yet, but will update if we do.
