Doxy Original vs Kiiroo ProWand Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Doxy Original packs the extreme power you’d expect from a full-sized wand vibrator.
It has 6 power levels with the first 2 offering a bit of a warm-up before reaching the extreme strength of the top 4 settings. But only the Doxy Original’s lowest level feels rumbly. Whereas other full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable offer deeper rumbliness. So this wand is best if you enjoy buzzier vibrations.
Apart from being buzzy on its higher powers (which is somewhat of a personal preference), it has good performance across the board. If you enjoy buzzy vibrations, it’s worth considering. Otherwise, see more rumbly options here.
The Kiiroo ProWand is a pretty good wand, but it isn’t the best app-controlled wand for most people.
It can be a good choice if you’re easily overstimulated or prefer gentle to moderate vibration strength. Its five settings offer a gradual build from mild to moderate, and the app gives you even more precise control. It’s also exceptionally quiet, IPX7 waterproof for bath play, and its slim, compact design makes it easy to maneuver, especially during sex.
However, it serves a very specific niche. The ProWand is only worth considering if you need an app-controlled wand that is both quiet (unlike the louder, more powerful Lovense Domi 2) and has a compact, small head (unlike the full-sized We-Vibe Wand 2).
To get that specific combination of features, you must accept the more basic app control and lack of extremely powerful top settings. For everyone else, the Lovense Domi 2 offers a far superior app-controlled experience for the same price, and those who don’t need app-control have even more options – see our best wand vibrators here.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The Doxy Original is an extremely powerful wand massager. The majority of its levels are significantly stronger than any of my other non-wand vibrators. Only a few wands reach higher powers than the Doxy Original (one of these is the Doxy Die Cast).
I use this wand over my underwear and sometimes leggings too. And even then – I typically stick to the first two power levels.
The Doxy Original’s first level is softer (but still impactful), which I enjoy during my warm-up stage. Some wands skip straight to high-power (including the rechargeable Doxy Die Cast R). But I think it’s important to have softer levels to prevent immediate overstimulation.
After warming up on power level 1, I’ll switch to level 2 for the rest of my time – rarely venturing beyond the second setting. Power 2 jumps up to 6.6 out of 10, so you’ll want to be fully warm by then.
I personally don’t find the jump overwhelming. And most extremely powerful wands like the Doxy Die Cast and Magic Wand Plus have a similar gap between the first and second settings. But if you typically prefer mild stimulation, you’ll want to consider a wand with more settings in the low power range like the Dame Com.
The last four levels are very close together, and each is immensely powerful. It tops out at 8.5 (85% as strong as the Doxy Die Cast – the most powerful wand vibrator). Though it’s less powerful than the Die Cast, most people will not need any more strength.
The Kiiroo ProWand has a decent vibration range, starting very gently and reaching a moderate top strength. This may be disappointing for those expecting the extreme power typical of wands, but it’s a great fit if you want a gradual build with strength comparable to mid-sized, non-wand vibrators. It has enough strength for me personally.
The five preset powers climb gradually enough that I’m not shocked by the transition, and they’re also distinct enough that each setting feels different, so I like spending time on each one. If you want an even more custom experience, you can use the app to adjust the power with a slider, which lets you reach in-between settings that aren’t available with the buttons alone.
If you want the higher vibration strength that’s typically expected of wands, both the app-controlled Lovense Domi 2 or the non-app-controlled BMS PalmPower Extreme are great alternatives in this price range.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy wands because most people want rumbliness. But this is a personal preference – so a high or low score in this section doesn’t necessarily imply a better or worse wand for you.
I personally enjoy some neutral-feeling vibrations and even the occasional buzzy vibrator! Though I typically enjoy buzzy vibrations when they’re only moderately powerful.
The Doxy Original’s vibrations lean to the buzzy side compared to other wands with similar strength. The lowest power is rumbly, and the second feels neutral. So I really enjoy these first two levels.
But after that, it gets gradually stronger and significantly buzzier. If you enjoy strong, buzzy vibrations then the Doxy Original is a good fit.
But I think most people who want a wand this powerful will prefer more rumbly, deeper vibrations. And in this price range, you have plenty of options:
The Magic Wand Rechargeable, Magic Wand Plus, and BMS PalmPower Extreme (three of my favorites) each have comparable power to the Doxy Original while maintaining deeper rumbliness.
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them. This is all up to personal preference, though, so consider what you like.
The first four settings of the Kiiroo ProWand are rumbly, and the top setting has a neutral feel. The settings are spread out to cover a wider frequency range than many of my other wands, which is likely why each setting feels so different. I enjoy spending time with each one.
If you enjoy rumbly settings at gentler strengths, the ProWand is excellent. But if you want stronger rumbly vibrations, the Lovense Domi 2 is better.
App Control: Main Takeaways
In the next sections, I’ll cover the Kiiroo FeelConnect 3 app’s Close-Range Features, its Long-Distance Features, and its Connectivity in detail.
But here’s the main conclusion:
Kiiroo’s FeelConnect 3 app is middle-of-the-road. Its features are adequate for close-range play and provide some fun customization options. However, the connectivity is hit-or-miss for long-distance control, and the overall experience isn’t as polished or feature-rich as Lovense’s (the best app-controlled brand).
Overall, if the app experience is your main priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is the clear winner. But if you see the app as a fun bonus feature and you prioritize the ProWand’s other qualities (like its quietness, more moderate intensity, and small head), then the app is good enough to still be enjoyable.
App Control: Close Range Features
The Kiiroo ProWand has decent close-range features in the FeelConnect 3 app. It’s not as user-friendly as my favorite app (Lovense), but it provides good basic control with more customization features than the We-Vibe app.
There are several screens in the app that provide different ways to control your Kiiroo ProWand:
- Touch Control
- Patterns
- Sound Control
- Device-to-Device
In Touch Control, you can set a constant vibration intensity by dragging an on-screen dot up or down. The dot displays the power percentage, giving you great in-the-moment visual feedback and highly customized control, similar to my favorite feature in the Lovense app.
To create a wave-like pattern, you can pop out a side panel with three ovals representing the low, mid, and high parts of the power spectrum. The wand will then oscillate through whichever sections you have selected. For example, if you select the bottom two ovals, the wave will vibrate back-and-forth between the low and mid-powers. In this mode, the on-screen dot no longer controls intensity but instead adjusts the speed of the wave—lower for slower, higher for faster.
While this allows for good customization, I find the whole process less intuitive than the simple “loop” and “float” features in the Lovense Domi’s app, which make it easier to create any pattern quickly.
In FeelConnect’s Patterns, you can draw your own patterns using the Touch Control screen and save them to use again in the future. This is where all your saved patterns will be stored.
A useful feature for both the Touch Control and Patterns screens is the ability to control multiple Kiiroo toys simultaneously. Whether you’re using a clitoral and G-spot toy on yourself or playing with a partner, you can sync both toys to vibrate together. However, they will both follow the exact same pattern; unlike the Lovense app, you can’t control each toy independently on the same screen.
With Sound Control, your ProWand will vibrate based on the sound picked up by your phone’s mic. The screen displays a sound threshold line; whenever the noise around you is louder than this threshold, the ProWand vibrates. You can drag the threshold line up or down to make it more or less sensitive. A vertical slider on the right lets you set the constant intensity your wand will vibrate at when the sound is loud enough.
Device-to-Device control allows for hands-free control of a partner’s toy. In this mode, you select one “Main Device” that has a touch sensor and up to two “Controlled Devices” (which don’t need a sensor). When the Main Device is pressed against your body, the Controlled Device(s) will vibrate at full power. This is a neat way to sync up your partner’s stimulation with yours.
The Kiiroo ProWand does not have a touch sensor, so it can only be a “Controlled Device.” I paired it with my Kiiroo Fuse as the Main Device, and once you get used to it, the feature works pretty well. There’s a tiny delay, but it’s not too noticeable. However, the app must remain open and on-screen for it to work.
Through the app, you can also customize the color and flashing sequence of the light on the bottom of the wand, but you cannot turn the light off entirely.
If app control is a fun bonus feature, but not a top priority, the Kiiroo ProWand is a nice choice! But the Lovense app provides a better user experience, easier pattern creation, and tons of pre-made patterns. If you’ll use the app often, the Lovense Domi 2 is better.
App Control: Long Distance Features
The Kiiroo ProWand’s long-distance features in the FeelConnect 3 app are adequate but basic.
Within the app, you can message a partner, give them control of your toy, and video chat with them while they control your ProWand. Your partner’s control screen is just a simple slider to control the power (to send a “pattern” you’d have to continually drag the slider). This is functional, but less intuitive and more basic than other apps like Lovense, which allow a controlling partner to create looping patterns on the fly or send pre-designed patterns. Unlike other apps, you also can’t share photos or saved patterns with your partner.
If you want to play with someone regularly, you can add them as a partner by searching for their username in the “Interact” section. This saves them to your partner list where you can see their online status (though this isn’t always accurate) and quickly connect. If you’d prefer to give someone anonymous one-time control, you can instead generate a timed link that expires after a period of time you set. Once the time has expired, they’ll lose control of your toy.
If long-distance control will be an occasional activity for you, the Kiiroo ProWand works okay (though it has some connectivity issues in long-distance mode, discussed below). But if you plan to use this feature frequently, the Lovense Domi 2’s app is more reliable, has better features, and gives your partner better visuals and controls.
App Control: Connectivity
The Kiiroo ProWand’s FeelConnect 3 app has decent connectivity in close range but can be frustrating in long-distance mode.
Pairing the toy with the app is usually quick and reliable. Occasionally, it won’t pair right away, but restarting the app fixes the issue. Once connected, I can use the app’s close-range features consistently, even with periods of inactivity or while switching between other apps, and it rarely disconnects. If it does, re-pairing is quick and easy.
Long-distance mode is where the connectivity is spottier. About 25-50% of the time, my initial video call does not go through to my partner; they only receive a “missed call” notification. The app also often shows my partner as offline when they are online. Thankfully, you can still send a call either way. But it takes more out-of-app communication to coordinate a session.
The Lovense Domi 2 is very reliable, and I recommend it instead if you plan to frequently use the long-distance features.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The Doxy Original is a comfortable option for those who prefer trading off some maneuverability and precise positioning to enjoy the exceptionally broad stimulation a full-sized wand provides.
The large heads of full-sized wands like the Doxy Original are not as good at providing direct stimulation in a precise location. But they’re excellent at broadly diffusing the vibrations over a wide area. And I can use the lip near the top of the Doxy Original’s head to apply firmer pressure to a slightly more focused region if I want.
I don’t use the Doxy Original under the covers since a blanket can restrict the Doxy’s movement with its long handle and power cord.
The silicone buttons are comfortable and easy to press. Though I have to find a good grip so I don’t accidentally press them. There are separate buttons to increase and decrease power. This allows you to quickly test a higher level to see if you’re ready – and if not, quickly tap back down again. This control system is much better than wands with one button to cycle through the settings.
The Kiiroo ProWand is very comfortable and easy to use. It’s best for those who prefer mini wands – the compact size is easy to move around and fit into tight spots.
The slim head allows more precise contact than wands with large heads. Though the head is firm, the extreme flexibility of the neck keeps contact very comfortable. Though it takes extra effort to leverage for firm pressure because of this neck flexibility.
The handle is long enough to provide several grip points, and slim enough to wrap your hand around easily.
The controls are excellent, allowing you to increase and decrease strength with separate buttons. If you like to adjust power levels frequently, this is important – it helps you get to your ideal setting quickly.
One downside is the noticeable light at the base of the handle. In the app, you can customize the light features by selecting the color and flashing sequence of the light during use. You can adjust it so that it doesn’t flash, but you cannot turn this light off entirely, which some people may find distracting.
Use During Sex
The Doxy Original’s large head prevents it from fitting into tight spaces. But I’ve found this isn’t a huge problem during sex since the vibrations are so strong and they broadly stimulate the entire area around the point of contact with your body.
The Doxy Original’s vibes stimulate my clit even if I’m not pressing its head right near my clit. So I can still enjoy the stimulation in Spooning, Modified Missionary, and Doggystyle positions – all positions where my legs are more closed or our bodies are aligned in a way that doesn’t provide a ton of room.
Doggystyle presents a different challenge since you’re holding the wand up against gravity – the Doxy Original is heavier than average. But I’ve found the Doxy’s long handle helps – I can rest the base of the wand on the bed so my arm doesn’t get too tired.
In the Cowgirl position it’s difficult to fit the wand’s head near enough to my clit if my body’s straight up or I’m leaning forward. In this position, I need to lean backward to create enough space to use the Doxy Original effectively. Whereas small wands like the Lovense Domi fit without needing to adjust how I position my body.
The Kiiroo ProWand is fantastic to use during sex. For a wand, it’s very slim and lightweight, allowing you to maneuver it easily, and it fits between you and a partner for great stimulation in any position.
The handle is shorter than full-sized wands but longer than most mini wands, giving you plenty of length to leverage without having to reach too far. In positions like doggystyle or spooning, you still have enough handle length to prop against the bed for support.
The slim head is especially important to me during partnered use, as larger heads can bump against my pubic bone painfully. With the ProWand’s tall, oval shape, I can easily limit contact to comfortable areas.
Noise
The Doxy Original’s low power is quiet enough to use without someone hearing from the other side of a closed door. But if you live with others, you’ll need to be careful on its mid and upper levels. Turning on a box fan or playing music in the bedroom is enough to make the Doxy Original’s upper power levels discreet.
The Kiiroo ProWand is very quiet, making it an excellent choice if you have housemates and need something discreet.
In our test, my partner could not hear the vibrations on any setting from the other side of the bedroom door. As someone sensitive to sounds, I really like the noise levels of this wand and enjoy using it.
Attachment Compatibility
The Doxy Original has a wide variety of compatible attachments. Many attachments are designed for the Magic Wand – but the Doxy Original’s head is about the same width. So far, every attachment we own that fits the Magic Wand Rechargeable, also fits the Doxy Original.
You can find a compatible attachment for nearly any type of stimulation. There are attachments for G-spot, anal, prostate, clitoral, penis, and dual-stimulation. To see which specific attachments fit the Doxy Original, see our attachment compatibility table.
The Kiiroo ProWand has very poor attachment compatibility. The slim head that makes it great to use during sex severely limits the number of usable attachments.
Most attachments are made for wands with larger heads. In my current collection, only two fit the ProWand well. You can find a few options, but you’ll have to hunt for them. If attachments are a priority, try a wand like the We-Vibe Wand 2 or Magic Wand Plus.
Mount Compatibility
I test my wands with my Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Doxy Original works well with both!
The Axis holds the wand horizontally with a slight upward angle. When I lie across the Axis on my stomach, the broad side of the Doxy Original’s head is at a perfect position for clitoral stimulation. I don’t need to focus on keeping my clit in contact with the head as I do with some smaller wands. And since the Doxy Original’s head is fairly tall, I can spread the contact evenly and comfortably across my vulva.
The head isn’t angled or curved upward as some of my favorite wands to use with the Axis (like the BMS PalmPower Extreme) – so I don’t get as much clitoral pressure. But since the power is so strong, I don’t really need the extra pressure.
The Doxy Original’s head is positioned too high in the Wanda to sit directly on the mount and grind. You’ll need to kneel over the mount, keeping your weight up. Or get on your elbows and knees in a Doggystyle-like position.
Though it’s more limited than a mid-sized massager in the Wanda mount, the broad head still provides excellent clit stimulation.
We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Kiiroo ProWand works okay with these mounts, but not as well as wands with larger heads.
The Axis holds the ProWand at a slightly upward angle while you lie across the mount on your stomach. The slim head doesn’t offer much firm pressure, but the vibrations are still enjoyable – since they’re rumbly so they travel well even without great pressure. But if you want firm pressure and more consistent contact, an angled wand with a larger head works better, like the We-Vibe Wand 2 or BMS PalmPower Extreme.
The Wanda holds the ProWand mostly upright – then you can sit on top of the mount for hands-free stimulation. This works well solo, but it would be difficult to pair with penetration from a partner – the wand’s too short for that, so you need to sit really low on the mount to keep contact with it. The slim head makes the contact surface less comfortable to press against since it’s not as broad.
The We-Vibe Wand 2 or BMS PalmPower Extreme are better in the Wanda mount for solo and partnered play.
Battery Life & Power Source
The Doxy Original is a plug-in wand. So you don’t need to worry about charging it, but you do have to use it by an outlet. The cable is 10 feet long though, so it’s not too restrictive. The Doxy Original also comes with adapters for UK, EU, US & AU outlets.
I personally prefer rechargeable options like the Magic Wand Rechargeable so that I don’t have to worry about the cord getting in the way. But it’s nice that plug-in wands are always ready to go. You never reach for the wand only to realize its battery is dead.
Doxy does have a full-sized rechargeable option (the Doxy Die Cast R), but it is a worse wand overall.
The Kiiroo ProWand is rechargeable with an excellent battery life. In my test, it lasted for almost five and a half hours on high power from a single charge. This is great news if you’re like me and often forget to charge your toys between uses.
However, when left running continuously for this long, it would sometimes automatically lower the power, likely as a motor-preservation feature. For testing purposes, I reset the power to high whenever this happened. Towards the very end of the test (after several hours), it also began to behave oddly, sometimes changing to an unprompted vibration pattern. These issues do not occur during normal, shorter-duration use, even up to a couple hours.
Build Quality
The Doxy Original’s build quality is somewhat controversial.
The Doxy Original’s hard plastic handle feels substantial and durable – not flimsy and cheap like some other wands’ plastic. Though it’s not quite as luxurious as the Doxy Die Cast’s aluminum-titanium handle. The Die Cast’s metal construction adds some additional weight and natural pressure against my body that I enjoy.
The Doxy Original’s silicone head is smooth and plush, which makes it very comfortable.
I’ve had my Doxy Original since October 2022 and have experienced no issues with it. While reading through customer feedback, I found most people had a similar experience to me. And even most people who mentioned it broke said it lasted several years first.
“I bought my Doxy 6 years ago from Lovehoney…I don’t normally do reviews, but since this wand has outlasted any of my other power operated sex toys, I felt it deserve a 5 star review”
“Mine finally broke after three years”
“I had [the Doxy Original] for 2 years until it died, then ordered the exact same one again.”
“I’ve had this massage wand for well over a year – always amazed by the power and intensity”
But I did find some people saying their Doxy Original broke quickly:
“This thing was great until it busted on me after just a couple months of use.”
“I had one of these a few years ago and it broke after a few months.”
This appears to be an uncommon experience for the Doxy Original, but it is something to be aware of. If you do experience an issue, the Doxy Original has a one-year warranty. I’ve had mine since 2022 with no issues. I’ll update this Doxy Original review if anything changes.
The Kiiroo ProWand has good build quality. The silicone and buttons have a nice feel with no rough seams. The body is fairly lightweight, which could feel cheap to some, but also makes it easy to hold for long periods. The neck is very flexible and feels a little flimsy, but it hasn’t shown any signs of breaking.
General Design And Specs
The Doxy Original has no waterproof rating, but you can remove the silicone head cover to clean it safely.
