Dame Com vs Orion Your New Favorite Wand Massager Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Dame Com is a good option if you enjoy the broad stimulation wands provide, but prefer milder, rumbly vibrations over the immense power many full-sized wands pack.
Unlike many extremely powerful large wands, the Dame Com’s highest setting is only minimally stronger than non-wand vibrators like rabbits or G-spot vibrators. It has plenty of gentle levels for warming up. Though its vibrations aren’t overwhelmingly powerful, it’s one of our most rumbly wands. Every setting is deep and rumbly which can prevent overstimulation or numbing.
It has a unique handle shape that may be hit or miss based on your preferences. The curved shape helps me leverage the wand, but I find gripping it awkward personally. I end up holding it near the head and I feel the vibrations in my hand. It is one of my favorite wands to use hands-free with my Liberator wand mounts though. The curved handle positions the head right near my clit for excellent stimulation.
For those overstimulated by extreme power, the Dame Com is a great choice. If you’re looking for the overwhelming strength typically associated with a wand, consider other options like the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Magic Wand Plus.
The Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the best mini wand around $50 if you like the broad stimulation and immense power of full-sized wand vibrators. This budget-friendly mini wand has great power and good rumbliness.
It’s short, which makes it easy to maneuver. But it has a full-sized head, providing the powerful, broad stimulation large wand vibrators are famous for. It’s significantly stronger than other wands this compact and inexpensive. I also find its first power level soft enough for a comfortable warmup.
It has easy-to-use controls that allow you to increase and decrease power using separate buttons rather than cycling through settings. I find it a bit difficult to use this wand during sex in face-to-face positions, but it works great in positions like Spooning or Doggystyle. And since its head is full-sized, it’s compatible with many wand attachments and mounts – so it’s quite versatile.
However, the Orion Your New Favorite Wand can be difficult to find now. See our current picks for the best wands under $50 for easier-to-find alternatives.

Vibrations: Power And Range
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.
The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has excellent strength and a nice range, spanning low, medium, and high powers. I’m impressed with the vibration settings for how budget-friendly this wand is.
There are only 3 intensity levels, but the highest reaches a 6.7 out of 10, which is significantly stronger than my non-wand vibrators. While there are more powerful premium wands like the PalmPower Extreme or Magic Wand Plus, the Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the strongest wand I’ve tested that’s under $50. And even with its compact size, its strength is comparable to many full-sized wands.
The lowest setting is a 1.8 out of 10, which I find comfortable as a warmup. But since this setting is quite rumbly, it still impacts your whole vulva. So if you get overstimulated easily, you might consider the Romp Presto, which begins gentler and has smaller increments between power levels.
But the Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the most budget-friendly option for those who want a more traditional wand’s strength.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
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 rate rumbly wands higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has good rumbliness. The first two power levels have that deep, rumbly feeling, but the top strength feels more neutral.
The middle setting, with a 5.25 out of 10 vibration strength, provides a powerful, rumbly level to enjoy. And the lowest setting provides a gentle, rumbly warmup. It’s the most rumbly wand vibrator at this price point.
If you want all the power settings to be rumbly, the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman is the next most affordable option. Unfortunately, most wands with excellent rumbliness, like the Magic Wand Rechargeable or We-Vibe Wand 2, come at a higher price.
Comfort & Ease of Use
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 Orion Your New Favorite Wand is very comfortable and easy to use.
It has excellent, simple controls. It has separate buttons to increase and decrease power, so you don’t need to cycle through intensity levels to return to a gentler setting. It has a third button to rotate through the 4 vibration patterns. And you can adjust the strength of each vibration pattern. Multi-button wands like the Orion wand make it quick and easy to find an enjoyable setting.
Although the handle is short, the head is large, like a full-sized wand. It’s great for those who find broad stimulation that spreads over your whole vulva comfortable and enjoyable. I find direct clitoral stimulation more comfortable with broad wands like Your New Favorite Wand because the stimulation spreads out and feels less overwhelming to me.
The large head means you can’t easily limit the contact or avoid particular areas. But the flexible neck helps to keep the contact comfortable.
The short handle can be tiring to leverage for firm pressure over long periods but is fine for typical sessions. And the handle is thicker than other mini wands, which I find comfortable to grip. The thicker handle does an excellent job of dampening the vibrations, so you don’t feel them much in your hand.
Use During Sex
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 Orion Your New Favorite Wand is passable during sex, but mini wands with a smaller head (like the comparably-priced Romp Presto) are easier to use with a partner. The Orion Your New Favorite Wand works well in open positions but is only decent in positions facing your partner.
The Orion’s large head works best in a spooning position or doggystyle, where the space between you and your partner is not limited. In fairly open positions like these, you can position the Orion wand’s large head close to your clit, and its powerful vibes spread throughout your whole vulva. And in these positions, you can easily angle the Orion’s short handle however you want.
Face-to-face positions like missionary or cowgirl are more challenging. It’s doable, but you may need to be intentional with your body position. In these positions, space is limited. And since the Orion’s handle is short, both your hand and the wand’s large head take up space. It’s more difficult than a short wand with a small head or a long wand with a large head. It gets crowded, and angling the wand where you want takes more thought.
If using a wand with a partner in a variety of positions is your main priority, I recommend the VeDO Wini or Romp Presto in this price range. If you prefer positions from behind or using your wand during sex is just a bonus for you, then the Orion is still a great option.
Noise
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 Orion Your New Favorite Wand has mediocre noise performance. The sound itself isn’t annoying because the pitch isn’t too high or distracting, but it is fairly audible.
My partner could hear the top two levels from behind our bedroom door during our testing. Only the lowest setting was completely inaudible in our silent house.
If you have roommates, the VeDO Wini or Romp Presto are quieter options in this price range. Or some premium wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable and We-Vibe Wand 2 have more strength while remaining quieter.
However, you can freely use the Orion Your New Favorite Wand’s entire power range if you turn on a box fan or play music in your bedroom. Both these options completely masked the Orion wand’s sound in our testing.
Attachment Compatibility
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 Orion Your New Favorite Wand has excellent attachment compatibility – the best of any mini or budget-friendly wand! Even though it’s a short wand vibrator, it has a large head. Since most wand attachments are designed for full-sized wand vibrators, the majority of these attachments fit the Orion wand.
Of the wand attachments I own, there are compatible attachments for clit, G-spot, anal, penis, and dual-stimulation, so it’s versatile.
See our wand attachment compatibility table to see which ones fit the Orion Your New Favorite Wand Massager.
Mount Compatibility
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.
The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has excellent compatibility with wand mounts for hands-free play. I test my wands with my Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts.
The Liberator Axis allows you to lay over the mount on your stomach while the wand is held slightly upward between your legs. This is my preferred mount for hands-free stimulation during sex.
The Orion’s thick, short handle securely fits in the mount’s slot. And Your New Favorite Wand Massager’s head is actually wider than most full-sized wands. This extra girth helps it reach my clit more easily and provides more consistent pressure and contact with my clit than a narrow head. The stimulation is excellent!
The Orion also works great in the Liberator Wanda. You can straddle the Wanda in a doggystyle position for hands-free vibrations and penetration from behind with a partner. Or you can simply sit on the mount and enjoy easy hands-free stimulation. The Orion wand’s head rests just above the fabric so you can lower your body onto it (unlike tall wands). It’s very versatile!
Battery Life
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 Orion Your New Favorite Wand is rechargeable and has great battery life. During our testing, it lasted an hour and a half on high power. I can usually enjoy this wand a couple of times before I need to charge it again.
Build Quality
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 build quality of the Orion Your New Favorite Wand seems outstanding, especially for a wand around $50. It feels well put together and has a nice weighty feeling. The overall structure has no weird, uncomfortable seams. It’s ABS Plastic handle and silicone head feel durable, though not as luxurious as entirely silicone wand vibrators. The neck is comfortably flexible, but I can apply firm pressure without feeling like I’ll damage the wand. And the buttons are solid and have a good feel.
