FemmeFunn Ultra Wand vs Calexotics Charisma Mystique Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The FemmeFunn Ultra Wand is a quality, affordable wand for those who want substantial power in a compact size. It doesn’t have especially soft low levels so you’ve got to enjoy some power. And it’s best for those who like moderately rumbly to neutral vibrations.
It’s an especially comfortable wand for solo use or to enjoy with a partner during sex. Its slim head fits easily in tight spaces, and its compact size doesn’t take up too much space.
This is one of the wand vibrators I personally use most often.
The Calexotics Charisma Mystique is a cheap, dual-ended mini wand, but it underperforms in most areas compared to other wands, including others in this price range.
The wand end’s vibrations are extremely buzzy, not rumbly, and its maximum strength is mediocre. The controls are frustrating, and the high-pitched noise makes it harder to enjoy. While the second motor in the handle offers a slightly better experience with mildly rumbly vibrations, neither end stands out in performance or comfort.
If you’re specifically looking for a dual-ended wand with two very different tips, and you know you prefer buzzy vibrations, this may be worth considering. But for most people, the Romp Presto and Orion Your New Favorite Wand are better budget-friendly wands.

Vibrations: Power And Range
One of the main reasons the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand is a favorite of mine is that it packs excellent power while remaining easy to maneuver from its compact size. In fact, every wand vibrator I’ve tried that has more power is larger and heavier than the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand.
Now this vibrator does have limited power range. There are only three power levels and they’re all pretty close together. This wand comes out of the gate with a bang – I rate it’s lowest power level a 6 out of 10.
I personally don’t mind starting out at that 6/10 level – it’s strong but not overwhelming to me. But if you usually need gentle levels to warm up, you might consider a wand with a wider range like the Lovense Domi or Dame Com.
While there are wands with even more extreme power (see the Doxy Die Cast), the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand’s power will be plenty for most people. I personally don’t even need the second or third power levels. I usually stay on the first setting which is enough to bring me to orgasm on its own.
The FemmeFunn Ultra Wand is also cheaper than any of the more powerful wands I recommend.
This is a dual-ended wand, and both the Calexotics Charisma Mystique’s motors have a mediocre power range with primarily moderate-feeling strengths.
The wand end’s first setting has a 1.7 out of 10 strength, but since the vibrations are buzzy, it doesn’t feel as gentle a start as other similar wands provide. The 3 power settings aren’t as gradual of steps as I’ve found with other wands either.
The Charisma Mystique’s maximum 4.92 strength is enough power for me, especially since the vibrations are so buzzy, causing the vibes to strongly affect the exact area you touch them to. However, this is less than half the power of my strongest wands. If you want more extreme strength, the Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the strongest in this price range.
The handle end has its own motor and starts a bit softer at 1.20, reaching a top strength of 4.67. It also has 3 power levels and 9 patterns, just like the wand end. The lower starting point makes it slightly better for a gentle warmup, though its top strength is no stronger than the wand end.
For a moderate experience with more gradual steps, consider the more affordable Romp Presto. Or for a more intense experience, consider the Orion Your New Favorite Wand.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
The FemmeFunn Ultra is best for people who enjoy moderately rumbly to neutral vibrations. It has above average rumbliness, but it’s not extreme. (By the way, if you prefer buzzy vibrations, consider the FemmeFunn Booster Bullet or FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet – two of my favorite small, buzzy vibrators!)
The FemmeFunn Ultra Wand’s first two power levels feel moderately rumbly, and the highest level feels neutral. Since even the first two settings have substantial power, you’ll likely spend a lot of time with these – so you’ll experience some light rumbliness as you play.
But this may or may not be a good fit depending on your preferences. We rate more rumbly wands higher since that’s most people’s preference. But many prefer more neutral vibrations and some prefer buzzy.
If you prefer more extreme rumbliness, the Dame Com is a moderately-powered, more rumbly option. And the Lovense Domi 2 is a high-powered, more rumbly option. Each is a bit more expensive than the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand.
If you enjoy rumbly vibes closer to the center of the spectrum, then the FemmeFun Ultra Wand is an all-around great toy at a reasonable price. I personally enjoy the vibration feeling from the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand, and it’s one of my favorites.
We score rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. However, I often enjoy neutral-feeling or moderately buzzy vibrations, so choose based on your preference.
The Charisma Mystique’s wand end is one of the buzziest wands we’ve tested. None of its settings fall into the rumbly range, and even as someone who enjoys moderate buzziness, I found the sound of its high-pitched vibrations distracting.
The handle end is slightly better. Its low setting is moderately rumbly and much more comfortable. You could use that end for a more rumbly warmup. But if you want a wand with rumbly settings throughout, the BMS Swan Era Wand is a better option in this price range.
Comfort & Ease of Use
I gave the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand one of the highest ratings for comfort and ease of use!
The compact size is easy to hold and maneuver. The head isn’t squishy, but the neck is extremely flexible so it’s still comfy. I’ve found when some wands are flexible, you lose the ability to apply pressure – but this is not the case with the Ultra Wand. It’s the perfect size to comfortably leverage the handle and push the vibrations deeper into me.
The head is also an excellent size for versatile stimulation. For such a short wand, the head is fairly tall – but not too wide. So I can press the top of the wand to my body for more focused stimulation, or use the tall side of the head for more broad stimulation.
It has two buttons used to control it. One lets you cycle through a series of 3 power levels and then several patterns. The second button is a “power boost” button. This lets you turn any one of the power levels or patterns up to full power with one click.
While I do wish there was another button to step back down in power (instead of cycling through the settings with one button), the power boost button is a nice touch.
The silicone handle is also exceptionally comfortable to hold. Overall, this is one of the wands I reach for most often. Which is one of the strongest testaments I can give it!
The Calexotics Charisma Mystique is comfortable, aside from some handle vibrations. But the controls are a big drawback, and one of the main reasons I don’t recommend it.
Each motor has a single button to control it. But the button only cycles forward through 3 power levels and 9 patterns – you can’t go backward or adjust strength independently of pattern. That means to decrease the power, you must cycle through all the remaining settings!
Worse, the toy’s memory feature restarts it where you left off, meaning you can’t reset it to the lowest strength by turning the toy off and back on.
Besides the controls, the Mystique is easy to maneuver and apply firm pressure with because of its slim handle and firm internal core. The handle is long enough to find a comfortable grip easily. And even though the head is firm, its small size makes it comfortable to limit pressure to where you want it.
Some vibrations travel into your hand, especially at higher intensities. This can feel tickly or distracting over time. For better controls and reduced hand vibrations, I recommend the Romp Presto.
Use During Sex
This wand is also one of my favorites to use during sex. It performs best in Spooning, Doggystyle, and Modified Missionary positions.
The extreme flexibility of the neck makes it trickier to apply leverage in the Cowgirl position. But that’s only if you’re looking for very firm pressure.
And the flexible neck is a big part of the reason I really enjoy this wand in other positions. Its extra bendiness and slim head make it easy to maneuver and fit into tight places.
The handle is the perfect size to give you a good grip with nice leverage. But it’s short enough that it doesn’t take up too much space during sex. Overall, this is a great option to use with a partner!
The Charisma Mystique is decently usable during sex because of its small size and dual-ended design.
The small head fits into tighter spaces (like during face-to-face positions) than a full-sized wand, and if the wand end doesn’t reach comfortably, you can flip it to use the slimmer handle end, so it’s pretty versatile. The firm core also makes it easy to leverage, even for long periods, in all positions.
However, the vibrations themselves aren’t that great, so you need more direct clitoral contact with this wand than with others. And the awkward controls make mid-sex adjustments annoying. Overall, in this price range, I still prefer the Romp Presto during sex.
Noise
This is not one of the quietest wands available, but there are some solutions to help.
We test each wand to see whether someone can hear it standing directly on the other side of a closed bedroom door. When I use the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand in our bedroom and my partner listens at the door, I can use the lowest power without him hearing. But he can hear the top two settings.
But, when we turn a box fan or some music on in the bedroom, it becomes inaudible on all power levels.
If sound is especially important to you, the Viben Sultry has comparable power to the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand, but remains inaudible on all power levels without needing a fan or music. And of course, less powerful wands are also quieter.
But for the FemmeFunn’s power, its noise is reasonable.
The Charisma Mystique has average noise levels in terms of volume, but the high-pitched tone of the vibrations is grating, which makes me not want to use it.
My partner couldn’t hear it through a closed door on low or medium, but easily heard it on high. Since you have to cycle through the loudest setting every time you adjust the intensity, this isn’t a discreet wand.
The Romp Presto is quieter across all settings and better if you live with others – it was inaudible from the other side of the door on every setting in our test.
Attachment Compatibility
The FemmeFunn Ultra Wand has decent compatibility with attachments.
It doesn’t work with attachments designed for full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable. But a few brands make attachments compatible with mid-sized wands like the FemmeFunn.
Le Wand has several attachments designed for the Le Wand Petite, and all of these fit the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand too. These provide various kinds of stimulation like G-spot, anal, prostate, and dual-stimulation. They also have textured caps to change how the wand’s clit stimulation feels.
Both attachments designed for the Lovense Domi also fit the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand. These provide similar stimulation to those mentioned above, and the male attachment also provides penis stimulation.
The Calexotics Charisma Mystique has very poor compatibility with attachments.
It fits with the Lovense Domi attachments and two of my other smaller attachments. This provides some variety, but if you want many options, the Charisma Mystique is not for you.
Most attachments are designed for wands with full-sized heads, and the Mystique’s compact head just isn’t compatible with them. If you want a low-cost wand that works with a broad variety of accessories, the Orion Your New Favorite Wand is a better choice.
Mount Compatibility
For a compact wand without a curved handle, I was surprised at how well the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand works with mounts.
I test all my wands with Liberator’s mounts for hands-free play: the Axis and Wanda.
The Axis enables you to lie face down over the mount while it holds the wand between your legs. I typically use this mount for hands-free stimulation during sex from behind. The FemmeFunn Ultra wand works fairly well with the Axis, but you need to be aware of your body’s position to keep the wand in contact with your clit.
It’s not as effortless to get good clitoral contact and pressure as a wand with a curved handle or angled head. My favorites to use with the Axis are the Dame Com and BMS PalmPower Extreme.
When it comes to the Wanda mount, the FemmeFunn is awesome! While straddling the Wanda, it’s very easy to lean forward or backward and adjust the pressure and stimulation you get from the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand. Or you can bend all the way forward over the mount, and there’s plenty of room for penetration from a partner.
We test mount compatibility with both the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Calexotics Charisma Mystique has very poor compatibility with the Axis and does not fit at all in the Wanda.
The Wanda is designed to let you straddle the mount or sit on it for hands-free stimulation, but the Mystique is too small and falls too deep into the mount, providing no stimulation.
The Axis, which holds the wand slightly angled while you lie on top of it, does manage to hold the Mystique in place. But the small head size makes it hard to get consistent stimulation. The wand doesn’t provide enough surface area or pressure to maintain good contact during movement.
If you’re looking for a mount-compatible wand at a similar price, the Orion Your New Favorite Wand’s full-sized head makes it fit both mounts much better.
Battery Life
The FemmeFunn wand lasts around 75 minutes continuously running on its highest power.
This is toward the lower end of our wand vibrators’ battery lives.
If you want a wand with this level of power that provides longer playtime between charges, consider the Magic Wand Rechargeable.
But keep in mind, if you won’t be using the highest strength the entire time, the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand will last longer.
The Calexotics Charisma Mystique is rechargeable, but has a poor battery life, lasting only 47 minutes on high in our test.
Since this only reaches a moderate strength, this is unimpressive compared to the stronger Orion Your New Favorite Wand that lasts nearly 2x as long.
Build Quality
This wand is covered entirely in silicone, including the buttons, which feels very luxurious and comfortable. Even though the neck is more flexible than most wands, it still feels thick enough, so I’m never worried it will break from firm pressure.
The Calexotics Charisma Mystique has fair build quality.
The all-over silicone has a nice texture, and the toy has a solid weight that gives it a somewhat sturdy feel in the hand. Its moderately flexible neck holds up well to firm pressure without feeling like it might snap.
That said, several aspects feel cheap. The vibrations are very buzzy and high-pitched, which gives the impression of lower quality. And the pinhole charging port requires puncturing the silicone to insert the cable, which feels outdated and makes me nervous about the waterproof aspect long-term.
Despite the pinhole charging port, it’s rated as IPX7 waterproof, and so far has held up well to cleaning and submersion during our tests – so despite some low-quality touches, it seems structurally sound.
