The Doxy Die Cast Number 3 is an extremely powerful wand massager. It’s much stronger than any non-wand vibrators I own. I have a hard time using it without underwear or clothes to dampen its intensity.

This power can be nice if you’re warmed up and ready for that strength. But the limited range between the Doxy Number 3’s low and high power levels is a big problem.

The softest power this wand reaches is 6.5 out of 10 – already more intense than any of my non-wand vibrators. So even though there are 6 levels between low (6.5 out of 10) and high (7.5 out of 10), it’s immense power from beginning to end.

I don’t find myself using this wand – it’s too overwhelming in the beginning and takes me out of the mood.

For this price, there are several wand massagers with just as much power that also have better warmup levels. My favorites are the Magic Wand Rechargeable, BMS PalmPower Extreme, and Doxy Die Cast.

The Magic Wand Plus is my second-most powerful wand, reaching a 9 out of 10 on its top level. Only the Doxy Die Cast reaches a higher strength than the Magic Wand Plus. But the Doxy is more than double the cost, and it’s buzzier.

Priced under $100, the Magic Wand Plus is the most budget-friendly option for people who want immense power. It’s just as strong as the much pricier Magic Wand Waterproof, making it a better value for most people.

Its 4 power levels also provide a broad range of intensities. It has softer levels as a warmup or for people who don’t need extreme strength. I rate the lowest power at 1.9 out of 10 and the second level at 6.1 out of 10.

Personally, I rarely use the third or fourth settings because the first two are enough for me – I can orgasm from either level. I think many people will be happy with just these. And if you venture into the upper settings, you may want to try them over your clothes – they are intense! Even on the second power, I often use the Magic Wand Plus over my underwear.

We rate wands with rumbly (low-frequency) vibrations higher than buzzy wands. This is because most people prefer rumbly vibrations – especially when the vibes are this intense.

Unfortunately, the Doxy 3 has very buzzy vibrations. Not even its lowest power levels feel rumbly. And its top three settings are extremely buzzy. Immensely powerful vibrations like these tend to feel overstimulating and uncomfortable when they’re this buzzy. I experienced the same issue when I tested the Doxy Bullet.

Although some people will enjoy these high-frequency vibrations, most will prefer something more rumbly.

The Magic Wand Rechargeable and BMS PalmPower Extreme are two high-powered wands with lovely, rumbly lower levels. And even their highest powers are more neutral – never reaching a truly buzzy feel. Or if you’d prefer to stick with a compact wand, the Lovense Domi 2’s rumbly vibrations are also more enjoyable.

I prefer each of these wands’ vibration quality to the Doxy Die Cast 3.

Because most people prefer rumbly wands, we rate these higher than buzzy wands.

The Magic Wand Plus’s first two power levels are extremely rumbly. These low-frequency vibrations feel deep and impactful. And since the wand is so powerful, many people will primarily use these lower two levels.

Power level 2 packs excellent strength, while remaining deep and low-frequency. This rumbly quality of the vibrations prevents them from feeling overwhelming, ticklish, or numbing. That second setting is my favorite, and it’s the one I orgasm with most frequently.

The third level feels neutral – neither rumbly nor buzzy.

Only the highest power (9.0 out of 10) begins to feel buzzy. No wand I’ve tested yet has remained rumbly when its power increases beyond 8.0 out of 10. The BMS PalmPower Extreme is the only wand with comparable strength that stays in the neutral range on its top power – but the difference is minimal.

Most people will be happy with the Magic Wand Plus’s balance between extreme strength and rumbliness.

The Doxy Number 3 has average comfort and ease of use – though it can take some time to get used to.

The buttons are large and positioned where my fingers naturally rest. This makes changing power levels easy. But I regularly press the buttons by accident, especially when trying to leverage the wand to apply pressure. So you have to find the right grip on the handle.

I can also feel the vibrations in my hands while using the Doxy Number 3. They’re less noticeable than with the rechargeable version of this wand (the Doxy Die Cast 3R), but the cheaper plastic version (the Doxy 3 USB-C) actually vibrates my hand the least of these wands.

The head is small, which makes it easy to fit into tight areas, and I can limit the contact to softer areas of my body to keep it comfortable. But some people will find a plush head like the Magic Wand Plus’s more comfy.

There’s also an edge where the bottom of the head transitions to the neck. I typically angle my wands at about a 45-degree angle, so the rounded part of the head contacts my body comfortably. But if you angle your wand so that the bottom of the head contacts you, the edge could be uncomfortable.

For a more comfortable compact wand, consider the Lovense Domi 2 or the slightly larger BMS PalmPower Extreme which have better flexibility.

The full-sized Doxy Die Cast and Magic Wand Rechargeable also have more plush, comfy heads than the Doxy Die Cast 3.

The Magic Wand Plus is a great fit for those who want a comfortable full-sized wand. It has a wide, tall head, which diffuses the intense power comfortably over a broad area.

Full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Plus are more difficult to maneuver quickly or fit into tight spaces than compact wands like the Lovense Domi or Magic Wand Mini. But because this wand has such powerful, deep vibrations I don’t need to position it with precision. The Magic Wand Plus’s rumbly vibes impact the entire vicinity around the head!

I also love how plush the head is!

It’s firm enough that I can still apply substantial pressure, but soft enough that it’s completely comfortable against my body. It doesn’t bump uncomfortably into my pubic bone as really firm wands like the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman do.

When the Magic Wand Plus is on its lowest power, you can feel the vibrations in your hands. But they’re so rumbly that it doesn’t feel uncomfortable or distracting. And it does a great job of dampening the handle vibrations on higher powers.

The Magic Wand Plus is not waterproof, so it’s best to wash down the head with a warm, soapy cloth. But since there are no tricky grooves on the head, it’s still easy to clean. There is a waterproof version, the Magic Wand Waterproof, but it’s much more expensive, so the Plus is a better value unless you really value waterproof play.

The Plus’s silicone buttons are comfortable and easy to press without moving my hands. But most importantly, there are separate buttons to increase or decrease the power. Some wands make you cycle through intensity levels with a single button. When toys have this much power, I like to be able to step back down easily.

The Doxy Die Cast 3 is decently easy to use during partnered sex.

For a wand with a small head, it still has a reasonably long handle which helps you maneuver the wand easily. You don’t have to reach as far as you do with short wands. And you can make adjustments quickly.

Because the Doxy Die Cast 3 has a small head, it fits well in tight spots during sex. But I wish it was plusher like the Magic Wands or full-sized Die Cast. When my partner and I are moving a lot, the Doxy Number 3’s firm head can bump uncomfortably against my pubic bone. But that doesn’t happen frequently since the head is small, and I can keep it pressed against a soft area of my body pretty easily.

The compact Lovense Domi 2 also solves this issue by providing a more forgiving, flexible neck that absorbs more of the impact during heavy movement.

The Magic Wand Plus is one of my favorite full-sized wands to use during sex – though I also enjoy the cordless convenience of the (slightly less powerful) Magic Wand Rechargeable.

I particularly enjoy the Plus in the spooning position and a modified missionary position (lying on my back with my partner kneeling).

The full length of the wand has the space it needs for me to angle and leverage the handle in these positions – I like to really push my vibes deeper (which is why I need a sturdy wand). And the plush head maintains comfortable, easy, consistent contact with my clit.

I move a lot more in Cowgirl, so I notice the weight and bulk of the Magic Wand Plus more in this position. The size is a little harder to control with more movement (especially compared to small wands like the Magic Wand Mini or Lovense Domi), but it’s still manageable. Plus, the sheer strength the Magic Wand Plus cranks out means you don’t need to position the wand in a precise spot to feel its effects.

Doggystyle is the trickiest position for the Magic Wand Plus because you’re working against gravity to hold the wand up between your legs. But I’ve found that I can place the base of the handle on the bed to support some of the weight and give my arm a rest (though this works even better with the Rechargeable since the base doesn’t have a cord in the way).

Overall, it’s a great option during sex – especially for those who want the immense power of a full-sized wand.

The Doxy Number 3 is a loud wand massager.

It’s best if you are home alone, or don’t have roommates. If I’m using this wand in the bedroom, my partner can hear it on the other side of the door even on its lowest power level. The good news is, you can drown out the noise by turning on a box fan or music in the bedroom.

But if discretion is important to you, it’s best to choose a wand with some inaudible levels like the Magic Wand Rechargeable.

To test a wand’s discretion, I use the wand in our bedroom while my partner stands directly on the other side of the door to see whether he can hear it.

The Magic Wand Plus is not audible behind a closed door on its lowest power level. But with no other sounds in our house, he can hear the top three settings. In fact, all three of my strongest wands are only inaudible at their low levels.

We also test whether turning on a box fan or music in the bedroom drowns out each wand’s noise. Either option successfully masked all the Magic Wand Plus’s power levels.

So if you have housemates, you’ll want to grab a box fan or turn up some jams.

The Doxy Die Cast 3 has excellent attachment compatibility for a wand its size. It’s compatible with Doxy branded attachments among others.

Doxy designs attachments specifically for the Doxy Number 3 and its rechargeable version (the Doxy Die Cast 3R). These screw directly to the Doxy Number 3’s head for a snug fit.

These attachments provide a wide range of stimulation options including prostate, anal, penis, dual-stimulation, and clitoral.

Le Wand Petite’s attachments also fit the Doxy Number 3. These won’t replace the default head as Doxy’s attachments do. But you can slip them over the Number 3’s head as you would normally.

Between Le Wand and Doxy’s attachments, you have a broad variety of options to use with the Doxy Die Cast 3.

Because Magic Wand is the most well-known wand massager brand, the majority of wand attachments are designed for the Magic Wand Plus. So this wand (and others close in size) have the greatest compatibility.

You can find a compatible attachment for a broad variety of stimulation – penis, clitoral, G-spot, anal, prostate, and dual-stimulation. For more specifics, you can check our wand attachment compatibility table here.

The Doxy Number 3 fits well with the Liberator Wanda mount for hands-free stimulation.

This mount holds the wand up at a slight angle. You can straddle the mount and lower your weight onto the wand for clit stimulation. And if you lean forward you can also create enough room for penetration from behind.

The Doxy Number 3’s length is just right for the Wanda – its head is positioned in a great spot. And the round shape of the Doxy 3’s head is very comfortable in the Wanda.

When placed in the Liberator Axis mount, the Doxy Number 3 provides little clit stimulation. The head is too small to keep consistent, firm contact with your clit.

If you are using the Axis, I prefer wands with larger heads like the Magic Wand Rechargeable or Doxy Die Cast. Or a wand with an angled head like the BMS PalmPower Extreme. This is my favorite wand to use in both mounts!

I test my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free stimulation.

The Magic Wand Plus is excellent in the Axis mount. I insert the wand and lie on my stomach over the top of the wedge. The Axis holds the wand out at a slight upward angle between my legs. I can just rest lying on the mount and enjoy a hands-free orgasm. Or my partner can easily enter from behind.

When placed in the Axis, the Magic Wand Plus’s tall, broad head maintains much better contact and pressure with my clit than narrower wands. And the squishy texture keeps the wand comfy – the extra comfort is helpful since you don’t have as fine-tuned control over positioning the head when using it hands-free. And since the Plus’s vibrations are extremely powerful, you get excellent clit stimulation without needing to position the wand in a precise spot.

The Wanda holds the Magic Wand Plus in a nearly upright position. You can rest on your elbows and knees (in a sort of Doggystyle position) and get hands-free stimulation solo or during sex.

Again, the wide, plush head provides a comfortable, broad surface to lean your weight on. And with taller wands like this, you don’t have to spread your legs as wide to keep your clit in contact with the wand’s head. So it’s comfortable to hold this position longer.

Some shorter wands also allow you to straddle and sit on the mount, leaning backward or forward into the vibrations for stimulation. The Magic Wand Plus is too tall to straddle like this, but it performs really well in the Doggystyle position.

The Doxy Number 3 is a plug-in wand, so you never need to charge it. As long as you’re near an outlet, you can play! And the cable is 10 feet long, so you don’t need to be that near to an outlet. The Doxy Number 3 also comes with adapters for UK, EU, US & AU outlets.

Cords can be a minor annoyance, but I don’t personally find them distracting. If the wand itself is good, I don’t mind a wall outlet as the power source.

The Magic Wand Plus is a plug-in wand (most of the strongest ones are). So you don’t have to worry about running out of battery, but you’ll need to play near an outlet. The Plus’s cord is 6 feet long though, so it’s not very restrictive.

You can also remove the Magic Wand Plus’s cord which makes storing it easier – this is the only plug-in wand I have with this feature. As someone who loves organization, I find this really convenient. If you prefer a rechargeable wand, the Rechargeable and Waterproof versions are cord-free, but pricier.

This wand feels very solid. It has a metal casing on the outside and it definitely feels like it will last. The head’s silicone is also smooth, with a high-quality feel.

The only reason the Doxy Number 3 doesn’t get a 10 is that the buttons can be less responsive than I’d like. So sometimes I have to press a button twice before it responds.

Although I don’t enjoy the powerful, buzzy vibrations it produces, the motor feels durable. I expect this to last many years.

The Magic Wand Plus is made from quality materials and feels built to last. The older Magic Wand Original had a porous head that could not be sanitized. But the upgraded Magic Wand Plus has a body-safe, silicone head. The silicone is plush and extremely comfortable. And the Magic Wand Plus’s hard plastic handle feels sturdy and durable.

The neck is slightly flexible, but solid. I can comfortably apply firm pressure without feeling like I may damage the wand. The silicone buttons are positioned well along the handle and are always responsive.
