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 VeDO Wanda has three power levels which cover a decent range from low to moderate power.

The top power is a smidge stronger than my favorite non-wand vibrators (bullets, G-spot vibrators, rabbit vibrators). I can easily orgasm with the Wanda pressed to my clit. So if you enjoy the more moderate vibration strength of other types of vibrators, but prefer the way broad wands spread the vibrations out – the Wanda will likely do the trick for you. 

VeDO Wanda Compared to Lower Powered Toys
The VeDO Wanda (far right) is slightly stronger than some of my favorite non-wands – (left to right: We-Vibe Tango X, Lelo Mona 2, We-Vibe Nova 2)

But there are cheaper wand vibrators with a similar power range like the Maia Zoe Dual-Ended Wand. And other comparably priced wands like the Magic Wand Mini and Dame Com have a similar power range with better performance in other areas.

And if you’re looking for exceptional power, the Magic Wand Plus will be a better fit in the same price range.


Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)


Rumbliness Rating 6.3 6.8
Power vs Frequency Graph
Frequency on Low Power 65 Hz 48 Hz
Median Frequency 92 Hz 73 Hz
Frequency on High Power 108 Hz 85 Hz
Power and Frequency Balance 6.7 5.9

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.

Because most people prefer low-frequency, rumbly vibrations, I rate more rumbly wand vibrators higher than buzzy wands in this performance metric. However, vibration frequency is a personal preference. And some people enjoy vibrations more toward the middle or the buzzy (high-frequency) side of the spectrum. 

So consider what you enjoy!

The VeDO Wanda’s vibrations range from extremely rumbly on low power, to neutral on high power. But because the first power level is fairly soft, you’ll likely use the top two power levels most often.

As a result, you can expect the VeDO Wanda to feel moderately rumbly to neutral most of the time. So it’s best if you enjoy vibrations more toward the middle of the spectrum. If you’re not sure what you enjoy it can also be good since it’s not too far to one side.

Or consider something like the Magic Wand Plus which spans a broad range from extremely rumbly to moderately buzzy with ample power at each level.

If you’re in the majority and prefer mostly rumbly vibrations, you may want to invest the extra $10-$20 for the Lovense Domi. With a compact size like the Wanda, it has a much greater power range, and 90% of its power levels are extremely rumbly.

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.

The VeDO Wanda is fairly easy to use. The handle has a comfortably smooth, but grippy silicone which means it doesn’t slip around. The wand is fairly compact, so it’s easier to maneuver and adjust the Wanda’s position than it is with full-sized wands.

Plus it’s waterproof, which makes it very easy to clean. And you can take it into the tub with you.

But the VeDO Wanda has its downsides. 

While a firm head is not always uncomfortable, I do think the VeDO Wanda would benefit from some squishiness. The Wanda’s pressure against my body gets a little uncomfortable over time.

And I don’t enjoy the tapered shape of the VeDO Wanda’s head. Though in theory, it could help you get more pinpoint precision, I found the taper made it difficult to press the vibes into my body. I prefer the more cylindrical shape and slightly squishy texture of wands like the Magic Wand Mini and Magic Wand Plus.


Use During Sex

Spooning 5.9 8.5
Doggystyle 3.5 7.5
Modified Missionary 5.9 7.0
Cowgirl 7.0 9.0

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 Wanda works okay but not great during sex. 

Its best performance is in the cowgirl position because the tapered head can slide into the right spots without getting in the way. And the smaller handle is easy to move around.

My main complaint that prevents it from scoring higher in all positions is that the head is a little too hard. Which can be fine for some wands. But the Wanda’s neck also has only a slight flex to it. So the combination of a stiff neck and hard head make it bump uncomfortably against my body with a lot of movement during sex.

While the tapered head helps the Wanda in Cowgirl, it actually hurts the score in Missionary. In order to get good clitoral contact from the tapered head, you have to angle the handle upward. And in Missionary, there is not enough room to do this.

VeDO Wanda Restriction During Sex
The tapered head of the VeDO Wanda requires angling the handle out, which does not allow room for a partner to face you

If your main goal is to find a good wand to use during sex, here are a few better recommendations:

  • Lovense Domi 2 – A medium-sized handle with a smaller head that can get into tight places and apply firm pressure. 
  • BMS PalmPower Extreme – A larger wand that still works incredibly well during sex due to the way its head is angled from the handle.
  • Blush Noje W4 – A cheaper option that’s a little smaller than the Wanda with comparable strength. It has some downsides compared to the other two wands above, but it’s inexpensive and easy to use during sex!

Noise


Noise Rating 6.0 8.4
Decibels on Low Power 52.6 dB 41.8 dB
Decibels on High Power 57.1 dB 44.5 dB
Audibility Behind Closed Door 6.0 10.0
Low Power Inaudible Inaudible
Middle Power Inaudible Inaudible
High Power Audible Inaudible
High Power with Box Fan Audible Inaudible
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 Wanda has an excellent, discreet sound level – good news if you live with others or noise distracts you.

Both its low and high powers are quiet. And during our testing, my partner could not hear any of the Wanda’s power levels from behind a closed bedroom door. 

Part of the reason the VeDO Wanda is quiet is that it’s more moderately powered than some wands. Though it still packs a reasonable punch.

If you want more power while remaining discreet, the Viben Sultry has 1.5 times the power of the VeDO Wanda – and my partner could not hear it behind a closed door either.


Attachment Compatibility

Number of Attachments Rating 5.8 3.8
Stimulation Variety 10.0 5.0

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 VeDO Wanda is compatible with a few wand attachments including the Vixen Wanderer, Vixen Gee Whiz, and LuzArte Bubbles. Le Wand attachments also fit the VeDO Wanda – though there is excess room at the top because of the Wanda’s tapered head shape.

The attachments that fit best are all insertable (for G-spot, anal, or prostate stimulation). So only a limited range is available to you.

If you want a wand vibrator compatible with a broad range of attachments, full-sized wands are best. Several score a 10 for attachment compatibility including the comparably-priced Magic Wand Plus!

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.

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.

Wand mounts hold your vibrator and free your hands – alone or during sex (my favorite way to use them). 

We test our wands’ compatibility with Liberator wand mounts – the Axis and Wanda (yes, the mount has the same name as this wand vibrator). So I’ll go ahead and use their full names when referring to them.

The VeDO Wanda gets a 9 for mount compatibility. Not perfect, but certainly above average. 

When using the Liberator Axis, you lie face down along the mount. The Axis holds the VeDO Wanda between your legs, and the head’s side broadly stimulates your clit. This works especially well for effortless stimulation during sex from behind.

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

In this position, the VeDO Wanda provides plenty of vibes. Though I especially love using curved wands with the Axis because they provide even better clitoral contact and pressure. The BMS PalmPower Extreme is one of my favorites.

The Liberator Wanda mount holds your wand more upright. Since the VeDO Wanda is shorter than full-sized wands, its head sits only slightly above the mount which is easier to grind on! You can sit on the larger end of the mount and lean or grind against the vibrating head.

Or you can flip the mount around and bend over to provide room for penetration. In this case, the VeDO Wanda’s shorter size makes it a touch more difficult to use – you’ve got to keep your body low enough to be in contact with the wand, but high enough to create space for penetration.Whereas taller wands like the Viben Sultry don’t require you to get so low.

But the VeDO Wanda is doable if you’re up for some flexibility.
If good mount compatibility is a nice bonus to you, the VeDO Wanda will work well. If it’s a huge priority, my favorite wand to use with Liberator’s mounts is the BMS PalmPower Extreme.


Battery Life

Doxy Die Cast 3R Charging Cable Photo

Battery Life on High Power 75 Minutes 185 Minutes

Charging Cable Round Plug Round Plug

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 VeDO Wanda lasts for about 185 minutes on high power the whole time! So about 3 hours, and longer if you use the lower power levels too.

It’s one of the longest lasting wand vibrators we tested. Most people will find its battery-life is more than enough. But if you want an extra hour in there, try out the Magic Wand Rechargeable. 

Or if you want a wand that never needs to charge, try a plug-in option like the Doxy Die Cast or Magic Wand Plus! You just need to play near an outlet.


Build Quality


Build Quality Rating 9.0 9.0

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 VeDO Wanda is almost entirely covered in smooth silicone, which feels very high-quality. Overall it’s well-made and seems very sturdy, even when applying firm pressure.
