Vibrations: Power And Range


Max Power Rating 8.2 9.5

Power vs Frequency Graph
How Strong Is Each Power? 

The Doxy Die Cast 3R is an extremely high-powered wand vibrator. Its top power is a 7.3 out of 10 – it is substantially more powerful than non-wand vibrators you may have tried like G-spot, rabbit, egg, and bullet vibrators, etc.

There are a few more powerful wands like the BMS PalmPower Extreme and Doxy Die Cast. But the 3R is definitely intense. I prefer to use it over my underwear to dampen its power.

Arranged from lowest to highest power (left to right: Lovense Lush 3, We-Vibe Tango X (top), We-Vibe Nova 2, Lelo Mona 2, Doxy Die Cast 3R, BMS PalmPower Extreme, and Doxy Die Cast)

Something that bothers me about the Doxy 3R is that the range between its highest and lowest power is tiny. The lowest power is about 6.5 – so there are no gentle levels. Unless you’re always ready for intense power, you’ll likely need to use another vibrator as a warmup.

Both the BMS PalmPower Extreme and Doxy Die Cast have exceptional power like the Doxy 3R, but they also have low levels beginning at 2 out of 10. Even if you enjoy strong power, I recommend getting something with some low levels too.

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.


Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)


Rumbliness Rating 6.3 7.3
Power vs Frequency Graph
Frequency on Low Power 65 Hz 40 Hz
Median Frequency 92 Hz 77 Hz
Frequency on High Power 108 Hz 110 Hz
Power and Frequency Balance 6.7 7.4

While vibration frequency is a personal preference, we give better ratings to wands with deep, rumbly (low-frequency) vibrations. We rate buzzy wands more poorly because generally, people prefer rumbliness.

The Doxy 3R has some vibrations that are moderately rumbly on the lowest powers. But you have to apply some pressure in order for these levels to feel rumbly. The 3R’s motor slows down quite a bit when you press it against you. Without this pressure, even the lowest levels feel buzzy.

Most of the Doxy Die Cast 3R’s settings feel moderately to extremely buzzy. With this much power, I need more rumbliness. The 3R’s ultra-powerful buzzy vibrations feel overwhelming and uncomfortable to me.

Many equally powerful wands vibrate at a lower frequency, which keeps them comfortable and enjoyable. Some of my favorites include the BMS PalmPower Extreme, We-Vibe Wand 2, and Lovense Domi 2.

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 Die Cast 3R is not the most comfortable wand.

It’s a comfortable size, and its controls are good – allowing you to increase and decrease the power. But you feel the Doxy 3R’s vibrations in your hands far too much. It’s distracting and unpleasant. Surprisingly, the plastic version of this wand, the Doxy 3 USB-C, dampens the vibrations in your hand much better.

The head comfort is average. You can fit its small head comfortably in tight spaces. But since the 3R’s head is so firm, some people will wish its neck was more flexible.

Overall, there are several powerful wands that transfer the vibrations to your vulva without vibrating your hands. Consider these options:

The Viben Sultry has a more comfortable head with a more flexible neck. The handle is also contoured to provide a very comfy grip.

The BMS PalmPower Extreme is another easy-to-use, and comfortable option. I especially love the angled head on this wand. It makes it easy to apply firm pressure without any wrist strain.

Or the Lovense Domi 2 has a small head to fit in tight spaces like the Doxy 3R. But it’s more flexible and comfortable.

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

Magic Wand Waterproof Handle Comparison with Magic Wand Rechargeable
The Magic Wand Waterproof’s handle (bottom) is a bit wider and longer than the Magic Wand Rechargeable (top).

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.

Magic Wand Cylinder Head Precise vs Broad Stimulation
The cylindrical-shaped head allows you to vary the contact area – precise stimulation using the cylinder’s rim and broad stimulation using the side of the head.

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.

Closeup on Magic Wand Waterproof’s Controls
The Magic Wand Waterproof’s excellent controls allow you to cycle through 4 power settings with the top button, and cycle through the 4 patterns with the bottom button.

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.


Use During Sex


Use During Sex Rating 5.6 9.1
Doxy Die Cast 3R Fit in Tight Space
Magic Wand Waterproof Fit in Tight Space
Spooning 5.9 9.5
Doggystyle 3.5 9.5
Modified Missionary 5.9 9.0
Cowgirl 7.0 8.5

No sugar-coating this one. The Doxy Die Cast 3R comes in dead last for use during sex.

As with solo use, the biggest issue is feeling the vibrations way too much in your hands. It’s also a little heavy and tiring to hold.

The Doxy Die Cast 3R’s head is also very firm. With a lot of movement during sex, the firm head can bump uncomfortably into my pubic bone – especially in positions where my partner and I are facing each other. But this doesn’t happen too frequently since its head is small, so I can keep it pressed to fleshier parts of my body fairly easily. The bigger issue is the vibrations in your hands.

If you’re looking for a wand to use during sex, there are much better options out there.

The Lovense Domi 2 is a similar size and shape to the Doxy 3R – so it also fits easily between your bodies. But the flexible neck keeps it from pressing uncomfortably against my body. It’s one of my favorites during sex.

Another of my favorites is the BMS PalmPower Extreme. Even though its head is larger than the Doxy 3R’s, its angled shape makes it easy to fit between our bodies and comfortably leverage the wand.

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.

Magic Wand Cylindrical Head vs Round Head in Tight Spaces
Cylindrical heads (left) reach better into tight spaces than round heads (right).

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.

Magic Wand Mini and Magic Wand Waterproof
The Magic Wand Mini (left) is smaller and more easily maneuverable compared to the Magic Wand Waterproof (right).

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.


Noise


Noise Rating 6.0 5.4
Decibels on Low Power 52.6 dB 46.1 dB
Decibels on High Power 57.1 dB 60.2 dB
Audibility Behind Closed Door 6.0 4.0
Low Power Inaudible Inaudible
Middle Power Inaudible Audible
High Power Audible Audible
High Power with Box Fan Audible Audible
High Power with Music Inaudible Inaudible

The Doxy Die Cast 3R is somewhat loud. Because it doesn’t have any truly gentle levels, even its lowest settings produce a fair amount of noise.

However, my partner still cannot hear the lower and middle levels from the other side of a closed bedroom door. But he can hear the Doxy 3R’s upper power levels. Even turning on a box fan does not mask the sound of the 3R on high. It took turning music on in the bedroom to finally make the 3R inaudible on high.

This might be ok if you plan to stick to the lower levels or if you don’t live with other people.

But if you need something more discreet, the We-Vibe Wand 2 has the same strength, and its rumbly vibrations were not audible from the other side of a closed door at any power level!

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.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 (demonstrated here) is much quieter than the Magic Wand Waterproof.

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!

Stimulation Variety 10.0 10.0

For a mid-sized wand, the Doxy Die Cast 3R has excellent compatibility with wand attachments.

Doxy makes their own high-quality attachments for the Doxy 3R and Doxy Number 3. You can unscrew the Doxy 3R’s head, and screw one of the Doxy’s attachments directly to the motor. So these attachments have an incredibly secure fit.

Doxy makes clitoral, dual-stimulation, prostate, and penis attachments that screw directly onto the 3R’s head.

You can also use some other brands’ attachments with the Doxy Die Cast 3R. For instance, all the attachments designed for the Le Wand Petite also fit over the 3R’s head. These brands will simply slip on top of the default head – they won’t screw into place as the Doxy brand’s attachments do.

So between Le Wand and Doxy’s attachments, you have a broad variety of options to use with the Doxy 3R.

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.

Compatibility with Wanda 10.0 7.5

I test my wands with Liberator’s wand mounts – the Axis and Wanda.

The Doxy Die Cast 3R works really well with the Wanda mount. This mount holds the wand upright at a slight angle. Then you straddle the mount for hands-free clit stimulation. You can also bend over the mount on your knees for clitoral vibes during sex.

The 3R is a great length for the Wanda – its head sticks out just a little past the fabric. This means I can sit directly on the mount and don’t need to keep my body raised as I do with some taller wands.

The 3R doesn’t work as well with the Axis though. This mount is designed for you to lie on your stomach. It holds the wand out to the side and angled slightly upward between your legs. I use this mount most during penetration from behind.

Wand In Use with Axis Overlay
My typical position when using the Liberator Axis mount (demonstrated with BMS PalmPower Extreme)

Because the 3R lacks an upward curve and its head is fairly small, it doesn’t stay in good contact with my clit. Wands with wider, taller heads or a curved/angled handle work best with the Liberator Axis.

BMS PalmPower Extreme vs Doxy 3R in Axis Mount
Angled heads like the BMS PalmPower Extreme (pink) provide firmer pressure than straight wands with small heads like the Doxy 3R (black)

The Dame Com and BMS PalmPower Extreme are two of my favorites to use with mounts! Both have that curved handle or angled head, which keeps better contact with my clit.

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.


Battery Life


Battery Life Rating 6.8 10.0
Doxy Die Cast 3R Charging Cable Photo

Battery Life on High Power 75 Minutes 197 Minutes
Can Be Used While Plugged In No No
Charging Cable Round Plug Proprietary Charger

The Doxy Die Cast 3R lasts for about 75 minutes continuously running on high power.

Though this is one of the shorter battery lives of my wand vibrators, it’s plenty for most people. But if you’re like me, and often forget to charge between uses… there are definitely longer-lasting wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable which lasts over 4 hours on high.

Or of course, if you want the highest power with no battery limits, there are several plug-in options including the Doxy Number 3 and the Doxy Die Cast.

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.

Magic Wand Waterproof and Port Cap
The port cap should be added back on when the Magic Wand Waterproof is not being charged.

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.


Build Quality


Build Quality Rating 9.0 9.5

Though I don’t love the Doxy Die Cast 3R’s performance, it has excellent build quality.

The aluminum body feels high-quality and durable. The head’s smooth silicone coating is a luxurious texture. And the threaded removable head is an excellent idea to make cleaning easier and ensure wand attachments have a perfectly secure fit.

Everything feels incredibly sturdy – I’d have no concerns that applying firm pressure will damage this wand. I expect it to last for 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.

Magic Wand Waterproof Waterproof Rating Demonstration

The Magic Wand Waterproof has an IPX7 rating, which means it has been independently tested and verified that the wand can be fully submerged in up to 3 feet of water, for up to 30 minutes.

However, the user manual instructs you to keep the included silicone cap over the charging port when cleaning. It is unclear whether the wand maintains its IPX7 rating if the cap is not in place. We have contacted the manufacturer for clarification but have not yet received a response. To be safe, we recommend keeping the port covered with the cap whenever you use the wand in or around water.
