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 Mystic Wand has moderate power typical for a wand this size. Though it doesn’t provide the extreme power of a full-sized wand, it’s stronger than my favorite non-wand vibrators. 

I actually enjoy the Mystic wand’s three power levels. It starts out soft which is great while you’re warming up – then it ends with a solid amount of strength that’s not overwhelming.

Though I enjoy the Mystic Wand’s vibrations, several higher-quality wands are just as good while performing better in other aspects too.

At the same price, you could get the Magic Wand Mini – a quality wand, and one of my favorites. It has a similar power range with more rumbliness too.

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 wands higher than buzzy wands because that’s what most people prefer. But choose based on your preferences.

The Vibratex Mystic wand’s lowest vibration power is the only setting that feels rumbly. But since the Mystic wand is only moderately powerful, you’ll likely spend most of your time on the two highest settings. And these feel neutral to moderately buzzy. 

At this moderate strength, I don’t mind somewhat buzzy vibrators personally. It’s not extreme by any means. But most people will want something more rumbly.

If that’s you, the Magic Wand Mini is more rumbly at a similar price. Or for around $20 more, the Dame Com’s entire power range is extremely rumbly from beginning to end.

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.

I find the Vibratex Mystic Wand easy to maneuver due to its smaller size and light weight. I can leverage it well for nice pressure. And it’s splashproof, so I can run it under a tap without worry while cleaning it.

While the Mystic’s head is somewhat firm, its flexible neck keeps it comfortable. It’s still a step down from wands with plush heads like the Magic Wand Mini. And I wish the head was smooth rather than ribbed. I find the ribs feel somewhat awkward, though not uncomfortable. 

The controls are worse than some other wands in this price range. There’s only one button to cycle through the Mystic Wand’s 3 power levels and 3 vibration patterns. So if you want to step back down in power, you need to cycle through all the patterns to get back to a lower intensity. Or turn the wand off and back on again. 

I prefer wands like the Magic Wand Mini, which provide separate buttons to increase and decrease power. 

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 Mystic Wand’s short length and fairly slim head make it easy to maneuver during sex. And it can fit into tight spaces and between bodies more easily than my large wands.

The cylindrical shape of the head works well during sex too. The part where the broad side of the head transitions to the flatter top forms a little lip. I can use this lip for more focused stimulation or use the side of the head for broader stimulation.

The shorter handle doesn’t intrude on our bodies when I angle the wand to apply more pressure. But the neck is pretty flexible which means I have to leverage the wand more intensely than a rigid toy to get that pressure.

The only position I dislike the Mystic Wand in is the Cowgirl position (and similar variations). The head is very firm – no squishiness at all. Since I tend to move more in Cowgirl and our bodies are in a more closed position, the firm head bumps uncomfortably into my pubic bone.

Although the Vibratex Mystic is fairly good in most sex positions, it still doesn’t outperform comparably priced wands. I prefer the Magic Wand Mini in all positions during sex because of its squishier head. And the neck is a bit more sturdy, so I can apply firmer pressure.

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 Vibratex Mystic Wand’s vibrations are very discreet. Its decibel measurements are low. And my partner cannot hear it on any level from the other side of the closed bedroom door – even when I crank it up to high. So you can certainly use this wand discreetly if you live with others.

But, this is also true of the Magic Wand Mini and other better, comparably-priced wands.

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 Mystic Wand is compatible with wand attachments designed for the Le Wand Petite and for the Lovense Domi 2. These cover a broad range of stimulation including G-spot, anal, prostate, penis, clitoral, and dual-stimulation.

So while there aren’t quite as many attachments available as there are with full-sized wand vibrators – you have plenty of options.

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.

I use each of my wands with the Liberator Wanda and Axis mounts and rate the hands-free clit stimulation I get.

The Mystic Wand fits well with the Wanda mount. This mount holds the Mystic wand at the perfect height to maintain consistent contact with my clit. I can comfortably lower my weight onto the wand as I straddle the Wanda mount. And I can lean forward easily to create room for my partner behind me while keeping the Mystic on my clit. 

In the Axis mount, the Mystic works decently, but I prefer other wands. The Vibratex Mystic’s head is fairly slim, and there’s no upward curve in the handle. So, it doesn’t hit my clit as well in the Axis. It lightly touches my clit, but I don’t get firm pressure. And I need to position my body more intentionally to keep the head in contact with my body.

My favorites for mount use are the Dame Com and BMS PalmPower Extreme. Each has a curved handle or an angled head, which applies better pressure on my clit when held in the Axis mount.

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 Mystic Wand’s battery lasted the longest of any wand vibrator we’ve tested. It lasted nearly 14 hours continuously vibrating on high power.

But this long battery life comes at a major cost – literally. This wand is not rechargeable – you will need to keep buying AA batteries (it takes four). 

This is a deal-breaker for me – it makes the true cost of this wand even more expensive than other options in this price range. You’re better off buying a higher-quality rechargeable or plug-in wand massager.

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”

–Lovehoney Customers’ Feedback

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.”

-Lovehoney Customers’ Feedback

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.

Though I enjoy its vibrations, the Mystic Wand’s poor build quality makes it difficult to recommend. The plastic handle feels cheaper than other wands. And its ribbed silicone head feels poorer quality than others – some of the ribbed edges seem to peel or get damaged easily. And the silicone is loose around the neck which feels cheap.

Most importantly, quality wand vibrators are rechargeable or wall-powered. But the Mystic wand still uses 4 AA batteries. Replacing batteries becomes expensive quickly.
