The Dame Com’s vibration power is relatively mild for a mid-sized wand, though it’s certainly much stronger than their bullet vibrator, the Dame Zee. The Com’s top strength is only slightly greater than mid-sized non-wand vibrators like the Lelo Mona 2 or Lovense Hyphy. But since the head is larger, the vibrations are more diffuse, which can make them feel even milder.

Starting at 1.1 out of 10 and gradually increasing through five levels up to 4.67 out of 10, the Dame Com is best for those sensitive to intense power or abrupt jumps between settings. This moderate stimulation offers an alternative for those who enjoy the broad, diffuse stimulation wands provide, but don’t enjoy the overwhelming power of other wands.

If you’d rather have extreme strength, consider the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Magic Wand Plus. For those content with the strength of their non-wand vibrators, the Dame Com is a great option.

This is a dual-ended wand, and both the Calexotics Charisma Mystique’s motors have a mediocre power range with primarily moderate-feeling strengths.

The wand end’s first setting has a 1.7 out of 10 strength, but since the vibrations are buzzy, it doesn’t feel as gentle a start as other similar wands provide. The 3 power settings aren’t as gradual of steps as I’ve found with other wands either.

The Charisma Mystique’s maximum 4.92 strength is enough power for me, especially since the vibrations are so buzzy, causing the vibes to strongly affect the exact area you touch them to. However, this is less than half the power of my strongest wands. If you want more extreme strength, the Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the strongest in this price range.

The handle end has its own motor and starts a bit softer at 1.20, reaching a top strength of 4.67. It also has 3 power levels and 9 patterns, just like the wand end. The lower starting point makes it slightly better for a gentle warmup, though its top strength is no stronger than the wand end.

For a moderate experience with more gradual steps, consider the more affordable Romp Presto. Or for a more intense experience, consider the Orion Your New Favorite Wand.

Most people prefer rumbly vibrations, so we rate rumbly wands higher than buzzy wands.

The Dame Com delivers exceptionally rumbly vibrations at all power levels, staying below 60 Hz on high – a feat few wands accomplish. And it’s more rumbly than the Dame Pom (the brand’s palm vibrator that’s also designed for broad stimulation) and the Dame Min (the mini version of the Com).

The Dame Com’s deep, low-frequency vibrations help keep it from feeling overstimulating or numbing. Its rumbliness is part of what makes it great for those who like broad but milder stimulation.

If you’d rather have extremely rumbly vibrations with more power, also consider the Lovense Domi 2 or the Orion Grande Wand. But for an extremely rumbly mid-powered wand, the Dame Com is the best.

We score rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. However, I often enjoy neutral-feeling or moderately buzzy vibrations, so choose based on your preference.

The Charisma Mystique’s wand end is one of the buzziest wands we’ve tested. None of its settings fall into the rumbly range, and even as someone who enjoys moderate buzziness, I found the sound of its high-pitched vibrations distracting.

The handle end is slightly better. Its low setting is moderately rumbly and much more comfortable. You could use that end for a more rumbly warmup. But if you want a wand with rumbly settings throughout, the BMS Swan Era Wand is a better option in this price range.

The Dame Com has a uniquely curved handle with a wave-like design, varying in thickness throughout. This shape helps me apply firmer pressure but can require adjustment depending on your personal grip preferences. I find its shape more awkward than helpful, though it’s not a huge deal.

I find gripping this wand close to the head most natural, but this causes vibrations in my hand, which can be distracting. Holding it farther away minimizes this effect, but you’ll need to experiment to find a comfy grip. The smooth silicone material feels luxurious and comfortable though.

The head is firmer than I typically prefer. But the slightly flexible neck keeps the pressure comfortable. And the semi-rigid design helps leverage the wand better.

The buttons are located near the base of the handle, which keeps them from interfering with my grip, but I do need to adjust my hold to press them. The controls are excellent with separate buttons to increase and decrease power, and a third to cycle through patterns. You can also change the intensity of the vibration patterns which many wands do not allow.

And the Dame Com is fully waterproof, so it’s really easy to clean.

The Calexotics Charisma Mystique is comfortable, aside from some handle vibrations. But the controls are a big drawback, and one of the main reasons I don’t recommend it.

Each motor has a single button to control it. But the button only cycles forward through 3 power levels and 9 patterns – you can’t go backward or adjust strength independently of pattern. That means to decrease the power, you must cycle through all the remaining settings!

Worse, the toy’s memory feature restarts it where you left off, meaning you can’t reset it to the lowest strength by turning the toy off and back on.

Besides the controls, the Mystique is easy to maneuver and apply firm pressure with because of its slim handle and firm internal core. The handle is long enough to find a comfortable grip easily. And even though the head is firm, its small size makes it comfortable to limit pressure to where you want it.

Some vibrations travel into your hand, especially at higher intensities. This can feel tickly or distracting over time. For better controls and reduced hand vibrations, I recommend the Romp Presto.

The Dame Com is one of the easiest wands to use during sex. Its mid-sized head can still fit into fairly tight places, but still gives the broad stimulation of a larger wand. And I appreciate its handle shape more during sex. The curve helps leverage the wand for firm pressure, even in more limited space.

I don’t need to change my body positioning to fit its mid-sized head near my clit as I do with larger wands which sometimes require me to lean back in Cowgirl or angle my leg out while Spooning to create more space for the wand.

The handle’s length and curve also make finding the right angle in Doggystyle easy.

In Modified Missionary, I feel the vibrations in my hand more since I grip it close to the head – the groove between the handle and head is a useful finger-hold for support. But if you want to limit those vibrations, you can shift your grip lower.

The Charisma Mystique is decently usable during sex because of its small size and dual-ended design.

The small head fits into tighter spaces (like during face-to-face positions) than a full-sized wand, and if the wand end doesn’t reach comfortably, you can flip it to use the slimmer handle end, so it’s pretty versatile. The firm core also makes it easy to leverage, even for long periods, in all positions.

However, the vibrations themselves aren’t that great, so you need more direct clitoral contact with this wand than with others. And the awkward controls make mid-sex adjustments annoying. Overall, in this price range, I still prefer the Romp Presto during sex.

For a mid-powered wand, the Dame Com isn’t that quiet. Its decibel levels are low – however, it can make a louder rattling sound when it’s not pressed against your body making it more noticeable (you can hear this in the video above).

Because I’ve read reviews touting the Dame Com as the quietest wand vibrator, I actually bought a second Com to see if the rattling sound was just a fluke. But both wands made this sound when not pressed to my body.

During our testing, its lower levels were completely inaudible from the other side of a closed bedroom door, but my partner heard its middle and upper levels.

Turning on a box fan or playing music successfully masked the Dame Com’s noise on all power levels. So you can still use the Com if you live with others. You’ll just need to mask the noise with a fan.

But if low noise is a top priority, there are better alternatives like the We-Vibe Wand 2, which offers more power and remains inaudible at every level.

The Charisma Mystique has average noise levels in terms of volume, but the high-pitched tone of the vibrations is grating, which makes me not want to use it.

My partner couldn’t hear it through a closed door on low or medium, but easily heard it on high. Since you have to cycle through the loudest setting every time you adjust the intensity, this isn’t a discreet wand.

The Romp Presto is quieter across all settings and better if you live with others – it was inaudible from the other side of the door on every setting in our test.

The Dame Com has fair compatibility with wand attachments. Its head is mid-sized, so it’s not compatible with the majority of attachments designed for full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable. But some attachments designed for other brands’ comparable wands also fit the Dame Com.

Lovense Domi’s attachments fit – offering penis, clit, G-spot, anal, and prostate stimulation. Attachments designed for the Le Wand Petite and PalmPower Extreme also fit the Dame Com. So you have some variety available, though your overall selection is more limited than full-sized wands.

See our wand attachment compatibility table for all the attachments we’ve tested for compatibility with our wands.

The Calexotics Charisma Mystique has very poor compatibility with attachments.

It fits with the Lovense Domi attachments and two of my other smaller attachments. This provides some variety, but if you want many options, the Charisma Mystique is not for you.

Most attachments are designed for wands with full-sized heads, and the Mystique’s compact head just isn’t compatible with them. If you want a low-cost wand that works with a broad variety of accessories, the Orion Your New Favorite Wand is a better choice.

I test all my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts, and the Dame Com is one of my favorite hands-free wands.

Using the Axis mount, I lie on my stomach, and the mount holds the wand slightly upward between my legs. The Com’s mid-sized head comfortably disperses the vibrations, but they’re still somewhat direct (which I need more when playing hands-free). The curved handle positions the head closer to my clit than straight wands, for better contact and firmer pressure.

Because its vibrations are extremely rumbly I can enjoy them longer before I orgasm, without feeling overstimulated. This makes the Dame Com and Axis Mount a great combo to use during sex.

This wand also does well with the Wanda mount. This mount holds the wand upright, and you can straddle the mount on your knees. Leaning forward or backward varies the pressure and gives you control over the stimulation. You can also sit directly on the mount and receive stimulation if you situate the wand deeper into the mount’s slot.

We test mount compatibility with both the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Calexotics Charisma Mystique has very poor compatibility with the Axis and does not fit at all in the Wanda.

The Wanda is designed to let you straddle the mount or sit on it for hands-free stimulation, but the Mystique is too small and falls too deep into the mount, providing no stimulation.

The Axis, which holds the wand slightly angled while you lie on top of it, does manage to hold the Mystique in place. But the small head size makes it hard to get consistent stimulation. The wand doesn’t provide enough surface area or pressure to maintain good contact during movement.

If you’re looking for a mount-compatible wand at a similar price, the Orion Your New Favorite Wand’s full-sized head makes it fit both mounts much better.

The Dame Come’s battery lasted 75 minutes continuously vibrating on high during our testing. This is near the average rechargeable wand performance and is likely enough for most people.

But if you tend to forget to charge your wand, there are longer-lasting options like the Magic Wand Mini (210 minutes).

The Calexotics Charisma Mystique is rechargeable, but has a poor battery life, lasting only 47 minutes on high in our test.

Since this only reaches a moderate strength, this is unimpressive compared to the stronger Orion Your New Favorite Wand that lasts nearly 2x as long.

The Dame Com has an entirely silicone body, which feels very high-quality and luxurious. The buttons feel well-made, and the plastic casing beneath the silicone feels solid and durable. I feel like I can apply very firm pressure without worrying about the neck breaking.

It’s not perfect though: the motor can rattle when the wand is held in open air. But it doesn’t happen when the wand’s in contact with your body.

The Calexotics Charisma Mystique has fair build quality.

The all-over silicone has a nice texture, and the toy has a solid weight that gives it a somewhat sturdy feel in the hand. Its moderately flexible neck holds up well to firm pressure without feeling like it might snap.

That said, several aspects feel cheap. The vibrations are very buzzy and high-pitched, which gives the impression of lower quality. And the pinhole charging port requires puncturing the silicone to insert the cable, which feels outdated and makes me nervous about the waterproof aspect long-term.

Despite the pinhole charging port, it’s rated as IPX7 waterproof, and so far has held up well to cleaning and submersion during our tests – so despite some low-quality touches, it seems structurally sound.
