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 Waterproof has an excellent power, starting gently and reaching an extreme top strength.

The first setting has a soft 1.9 out of 10 strength, which provides a comfortable warmup and is important in preventing overstimulation with the intensity this wand reaches on high. There are 4 power settings, and the second setting is already enough for me. I don’t even need to use the next two settings, but power lovers will enjoy these.

The max power is more than most of my wands provide at a 9 out of 10 strength. Only one wand gets stronger than this – the Doxy Die Cast. But the Magic Wand Waterproof’s top strength will be more than enough for most people, and gives a wide range for a comfortable journey.

The Waterproof’s 4 intensities are nearly identical to the Magic Wand Plus, and they’re stronger than the Magic Wand Rechargeable. Making it a great fit for those who want the intensity of the Plus, but the cord-free convenience of the Rechargeable.

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.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. However, this is an area of personal preference, so consider what you like best!

The Magic Wand Waterproof’s first two settings are rumbly, but the top setting is extremely buzzy.

This still provides a good amount of power in the rumbly range. Since I rarely go past the second level, most of my experience is with low-frequency vibes that travel deep. And if I do venture up higher, the rumbly experience at the start has me warmed-up and ready for the neutral-feeling third setting. This frequency range is great if you want some, but not entirely rumbly settings.

Compared to other Magic Wands, the Waterproof has higher-frequency vibrations on its upper settings. This provides a more surface-level kick once you get to levels three and four, which some will enjoy. But if you prioritize rumbliness on all settings, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is a better choice (though it is about 17% weaker).

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.

For a full-sized wand, the Magic Wand Waterproof is very comfortable and easy to use.

The handle is slightly bigger and heavier than the Magic Wand Plus and Rechargeable. So it takes a little more effort to wrap your hand around and maneuver. However, the handle is still very comfortable, and the thick handle dampens the vibrations in your hand very well. If you prefer a slim handle, you may be bothered, but the grippy plastic makes for a firm, comfortable grip. When the handle is wet, it’s a little more slippery, but it’s still easy to grip and maneuver.

The plush head provides a cushioned feel that keeps the wand comfy when applying firm pressure. The squishy, cylindrical-shaped head is the same size as popular Plus and Rechargeable models. That unique shape helps to vary the contact area – more precise using the rim of the cylinder, and broader stimulation using the side.

The slightly flexible neck moves with your body, but still allows you to press hard if you enjoy applying firm pressure. The extra weight of this wand applies natural downward pressure too – you can just rest the wand against your body without having to leverage it.

The buttons are well-placed and easy to reach without getting in the way. You cycle through the four power levels with one button and through the patterns with another. Typically, I prefer controls that allow you to increase and decrease power (like the Plus), but since there are only four power levels and patterns are on a separate button, it’s easy to quickly get to the setting you want.

The IPX7 waterproof rating also makes it easy to clean this wand – you can completely submerge it during use or when cleaning it.

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 Waterproof is excellent to use during sex, especially for a full-sized wand.

The cylindrical head shape makes it easier to get close, direct contact than most full-sized wands allow, even in positions where close contact is normally difficult like Cowgirl. Unlike a round head that doesn’t fill in angled spaces, the cylinder’s rim fills in space between two barriers for better contact and pressure as shown below.

It’s best in more open positions like Spooning and Doggystyle where there’s plenty of space to maneuver the wand. The long handle is also easy to prop on the bed to support it, which is helpful since this wand is heavy. The large head spreads contact evenly, for comfortable and very stimulating vibes.

In Modified Missionary, the cushioned head is especially comfortable. Because space is tight in this position, your partner’s body will often press the wand’s head firmly against you. With firmer wands, this can be uncomfortable, but the Waterproof’s plush head provides a soft cushion.

You can also rest the wand flat against your body in this position and let its natural weight provide good pressure. This is great, as leveraging the wand is tricky in this position since it’s large and space is limited, but it’s still doable if you need to.

If you want something quick and easy to move around, the smaller Magic Wand Mini may be better. But for a full-sized wand with extreme top strength, the Magic Wand Waterproof is very comfortable and provides the weighty feel that allows you to rest the wand with less effort put towards leveraging.

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.

The Magic Wand Waterproof is very loud – mainly on the higher settings. While I wouldn’t expect a wand this strong to be quiet, it’s even louder than other wands with this much power. As someone sensitive to noise, I find it distracting, and I prefer the Magic Wand Plus or Rechargeable for this reason.

The first setting was inaudible to my partner from the other side of the bedroom door. But every other setting was noticeable. Even turning on a box fan did not mask the noise of the top setting. Only playing music could drown out the sound completely.

If discretion is important, or you’re easily distracted by sounds, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is more discreet, or the We-Vibe Wand 2 is an especially quiet wand!

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.

The Magic Wand Waterproof has fantastic attachment compatibility. Most attachments are designed for large heads like this, so you have tons of options available.

You can find compatible attachments for all types of stimulation. I own several, and you can check out my wand attachment compatibility table here to see which specific ones I confirmed fit this wand.

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!

We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play. The Magic Wand Waterproof does well in both!

In the Axis, you lie over the mount on your stomach, and the Magic Wand Waterproof is held at a slightly upward angle between your legs. The large, tall head provides a broad surface area to press against and consistent contact with my clit. And the head’s plushness keeps the pressure very comfortable.

The Wanda mount holds the wand upright for use while kneeling or in doggystyle. Since the handle is a bit thicker than the Plus and Rechargeable, you have to push it down further in the mount in order for it to sit at the right height. But since the mount is cushioned and flexible, this is easy to do. Once you’ve positioned it well, the broad head is very comfortable and maintains consistent contact with my clit, which is especially important during hands-free use since you can’t adjust the wand yourself.

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 Waterproof has an outstanding battery life. In our test, it ran continuously on its highest setting for 197 minutes (over 3 hours) before dying. This is one of the longest runtimes of any rechargeable wand we’ve tested which is fantastic if you often forget to charge your toys. And this is especially long-lasting considering how strong this wand is. While the Magic Wand Rechargeable lasted a bit longer (248 minutes), it’s not as powerful as the Waterproof.

It has an automatic shutoff every 20 minutes to protect its motor (though you can turn it back on immediately). Unlike the Magic Wand Rechargeable, the Waterproof cannot be used while charging. It comes with a small silicone cap to cover the charging port when not plugged in. The manual says to keep the port cap on when washing, and if water gets into the charging port, make sure to wipe it off.

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 Waterproof has excellent build quality. The plastic handle feels solid and sturdy, and the silicone head is plush and high-quality. The buttons are responsive and comfortable to press. Overall, it feels like a well-made, premium wand.
