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. 

The Maia Nala has an exceptional top strength but a mediocre power range. It’s best for those who prefer strong to extreme intensity.

First, there’s one odd aspect to note – since you can use the Nala cordless or plugged into the wall, its power range is slightly different depending on which way you use it. Plugged-in gives everything a slight power boost. I actually enjoy this oddity because I can choose whether to use it plugged in or not based on how much power I’m in the mood for.

When unplugged, the top strength reaches a 7.9 out of 10, which is plenty for me. I typically stick to the first couple settings. And it’s even stronger when you plug it into the wall, reaching a strength of 8.5 out of 10. Very few wands have more power, and very few people will need more.

The power range is mediocre though – it starts at a strength of 5.8 when unplugged or 6.2 when plugged-in. Although it skips over soft and moderate settings, I find its starting levels comfortable since they’re extremely rumbly. But if you’re especially sensitive to overstimulation, you may want a wand with a softer beginning setting, like the Magic Wand Plus, Magic Wand Rechargeable, or BMS PalmPower Extreme. But I find the Nala’s vibrations comfortable and effective.

In fact, if you look at the graph of the Maia Nala’s and the famous Magic Wand Rechargeable’s vibrations below, you can see the two wands provide a similar experience – the Nala is just missing the Magic Wand’s gentlest settings. So, if you don’t need those settings, the Nala is a cost-effective alternative.

With 5 settings spanning the power range, steps between levels are also gradual and comfortable.

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 rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. The Maia Nala has great rumbliness.

The first setting (whether plugged in or not) feels extremely rumbly. These deep vibrations feel more diffuse and travel deeper into your body than buzzy vibrations. I find rumbly vibrations are great for a warm-up, so even though the Nala’s first setting is strong, I still find it very comfortable.

The middle power levels feel moderately rumbly to neutral. And the top strength feels neutral when unplugged or moderately buzzy when plugged in. I happen to love neutral-feeling and buzzy vibrations since they carry more of a kick at the surface-level that I often enjoy. But if you prefer rumbly vibrations, you can stick to the Maia Nala’s first few settings or consider a more rumbly wand like the Lovense Domi 2.

But I like that the Nala gives you a lot of variety to enjoy.

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 Maia Nala is a comfortable full-sized wand that’s easy to use.

The controls are easy to use – two buttons allow you to increase or decrease strength, and a third lets you cycle through patterns. You can even adjust the intensity of each pattern. The vibrations start on the constant setting every time you turn the wand on. So if you accidentally switch to a vibration pattern and don’t want to rotate through all the others, you can just turn the Nala off and back on – this is one advantage it has over the comparably-priced Viben Sultry.

I often have to look at the handle when I adjust the intensity because the buttons don’t have a distinct feel. But the level of control they provide is excellent, and they don’t take up too much space on the handle. So you have plenty of room for your hands to get a comfortable grip. I can feel the vibrations a bit in my hands, but they’re subtle, and I don’t find them distracting.

The solid, long handle is easy to leverage. This makes it great for applying pressure without wrist strain. And the Nala is lighter than most full-sized wands, so it’s easy to maneuver.

The large, firm head can bump into you a bit on the lower, more rumbly settings. However, the slightly flexible neck helps keep this comfortable unless you prefer very firm pressure. In which case, you may want a wand with a more plush head like the Magic Wand Plus.

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 Maia Nala is great to use during sex.

The large head makes it most comfortable and effective in positions where you’re not facing your partner, like spooning or doggystyle. In these positions, there’s plenty of space in front of you to get the head close to your clit, and the broad head stimulates your entire vulva. And there is plenty of space in front of you to maneuver and angle the wand’s handle however you’d like. I can also prop the handle against the bed if my arm gets tired.

In positions where space is more crowded, like cowgirl and modified missionary, you can’t fit the Nala’s large head in as close as you can with smaller wand heads. And it may bump against your pubic bone more during heavy movement. However, the strong, rumbly vibrations travel far, so you can still get great stimulation even without the Nala’s head in direct contact with your clit.

But if positions where you’re facing your partner are a priority, a wand with a smaller head like the Lovense Domi 2 or an angled head like the BMS PalmPower Extreme is better.

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 Maia Nala has disappointing noise levels. My partner could hear it on every power level while standing on the other side of our closed bedroom door. Considering the strength, this isn’t too surprising, and you can easily drown out the sound by turning on a box fan or playing music.

I don’t personally find the vibration noise annoying. But if you live with housemates and need something more discreet, consider the Viben Sultry. It reaches a close strength to the Nala but was inaudible to my partner on all but the top couple settings.

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 Maia Nala has reasonable compatibility with attachments.

The head is a tiny bit smaller than average full-sized wands and tapers down towards the base, which causes some attachments to slip off easily. However, I was still able to find a variety of attachments covering a broad range of stimulation types that fit the Maia Nala. Insertables were the most common attachments to fit, but you can review my wand attachment compatibility table here to see the specific attachments.

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. 

I test my wands with the Liberator Axis, and Wanda mounts for hands-free stimulation. The Maia Nala has fantastic compatibility with both mounts.

In the Axis, the larger head provides good pressure for consistent contact to transfer the vibes well. And since the vibrations are so rumbly in the first half of the settings, they travel far and are really impactful.

The Wanda holds the wand at a great angle to kneel over during penetration from behind. The broad head comfortably distributes pressure, essential when you’re going hands-free. You can also sit directly on the mount since the head is positioned just above the fabric, which is a really comfortable position.

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 Maia Nala is both a rechargeable wand and a plug-in wand.

When using it unplugged for our battery life test, it lasted 53 minutes vibrating on its highest power which is below average. However, for most people that won’t be a big deal because you can always plug it directly into the wall to power it instead. You never have to wait for its battery to charge.

The Maia Nala has an automatic shutoff after 30 minutes of continuous use to protect its motor from overheating. If you run into the automatic shutoff, it won’t let you turn it back on for 15 minutes which can be annoying. You could bypass this 15 minute rest period by turning the Nala off and back on before the 30-minute shut off is triggered, but the shutoff is in place to protect the wand.

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 Maia Nala has a fair build quality. But it’s a mid-budget wand, so it doesn’t feel super luxurious. The handle is light plastic, which can feel a little cheap but still seems sturdy. And no extra weight in the handle keeps it easy to maneuver quickly.

I don’t typically like the pin-hole charging ports like the Maia Nala has, but it hasn’t caused any issues, and the wand is fully waterproof (when unplugged – never submerge it while plugged in). The slightly flexible neck feels sturdy, and I’m not afraid to apply pressure with this wand.

Maia Nala also has an impressive 10-year warranty when you register your wand here.
