Power vs Frequency Graph
How Strong Is Each Power? 

The Fun Factory Vim has an excellent power range that starts gently and reaches extreme strength on high.

Although there are even more powerful wands, I consider the Vim’s top strength of 7.3 out of 10 extremely intense and more than enough for me. I rarely use the top levels because the first few settings provide plenty of stimulation. It’s especially strong, considering how rumbly the Vim is – most wands that reach this strength become buzzy.

The Fun Factory Vim’s 5 preset power levels provide a gradual journey from gentle to intense. The initial strength of 1.7 out of 10 provides an enjoyable warmup without overstimulating. And steps from one setting to the next are comfortably small.

You can make the transitions even more subtle by holding down the (+) or (-) buttons. This slowly increases or decreases the motor’s power until you release the button. It allows you to access intermediate power levels beyond the Fun Factory Vim’s 5 predetermined settings. Holding the (-) button also allows you to reach an even gentler starting level.

Because the Fun Factory Vim’s power range is wide and gradual, you’ll likely find settings that suit you. The only people who might not be satisfied with the Vim’s power range are those who want as much intensity as possible. If that’s you, consider the Doxy Die Cast or BMS PalmPower Extreme, but most people will not need more power than the Vim offers.

The Magic Wand Waterproof has an excellent power, starting gently and reaching an extreme top strength.

The first setting has a soft 1.9 out of 10 strength, which provides a comfortable warmup and is important in preventing overstimulation with the intensity this wand reaches on high. There are 4 power settings, and the second setting is already enough for me. I don’t even need to use the next two settings, but power lovers will enjoy these.

The max power is more than most of my wands provide at a 9 out of 10 strength. Only one wand gets stronger than this – the Doxy Die Cast. But the Magic Wand Waterproof’s top strength will be more than enough for most people, and gives a wide range for a comfortable journey.

The Waterproof’s 4 intensities are nearly identical to the Magic Wand Plus, and they’re stronger than the Magic Wand Rechargeable. Making it a great fit for those who want the intensity of the Plus, but the cord-free convenience of the Rechargeable.


Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)


Rumbliness Rating 9.1 7.3
Power vs Frequency Graph
Frequency on Low Power 19 Hz 40 Hz
Median Frequency 47 Hz 77 Hz
Frequency on High Power 61 Hz 110 Hz
Power and Frequency Balance 8.7 7.4

We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. Rumbly vibrations travel deeper and impact the entire area. But some people like buzzy vibrations that stay near the surface, so consider your preferences!

The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding rumbliness. The heavy weight in its motor creates impactful vibrations without needing to spin as fast as a lighter motor (slower speeds feel more rumbly, and faster speeds feel buzzier).

It reaches a deeper, more rumbly level on its lowest setting than any of my other wands. The first 4 of 5 settings are extremely rumbly. And even the highest power is still moderately rumbly. Most wand vibrators that reach a comparable strength are buzzier.

The Fun Factory Vim (left) with other extremely rumbly alternatives: the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large (middle) and Orion Grande Wand (right).

The Fun Factory Vim is my main wand vibrator recommendation for those who value rumbly vibrations. Although the Lelo Smart Wand 2 and Orion Grande Wand have even lower-frequency vibrations than the Fun Factory Vim, they’re worse wands overall.

If you’re familiar with the We-Vibe Tango X, a small bullet vibrator famous for being super rumbly – the Fun Factory Vim is even more rumbly, while being much stronger!

I also find the Vim’s extreme rumbliness feels particularly enjoyable with my Liberator Axis mount for hands-free stimulation during sex.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. However, this is an area of personal preference, so consider what you like best!

The Magic Wand Waterproof’s first two settings are rumbly, but the top setting is extremely buzzy.

This still provides a good amount of power in the rumbly range. Since I rarely go past the second level, most of my experience is with low-frequency vibes that travel deep. And if I do venture up higher, the rumbly experience at the start has me warmed-up and ready for the neutral-feeling third setting. This frequency range is great if you want some, but not entirely rumbly settings.

Compared to other Magic Wands, the Waterproof has higher-frequency vibrations on its upper settings. This provides a more surface-level kick once you get to levels three and four, which some will enjoy. But if you prioritize rumbliness on all settings, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is a better choice (though it is about 17% weaker).


Comfort & Ease of Use

Magic Wand Waterproof Comfort And Ease of Use
Handle Comfort 10.0 7.0

Controls 9.5 9.0
Easy Cleaning 9.0 10.0
Waterproof Rating IPX6 IPX7

The Fun Factory Vim is very comfortable and extremely easy to use, especially for a full-sized wand vibrator.

Although the Vim’s motor is heavy, the overall weight is lighter than most full-sized wands, making it easier to maneuver. The fact that most of the weight is in the Vim’s head helps it naturally press the vibes deeper without needing to leverage the wand as much with your wrists.

The Vim’s handle is slim and covered with a slightly plush, textured silicone, providing a comfortable grip. The Vim’s silicone feels especially luxurious. And the vibrations are not at all distracting in my hands – they travel less into the handle than many other wands this powerful.

The head is fairly firm, which can feel less comfortable when pressing against less fleshy areas (like your pubic bone). But the Vim’s flexible neck helps keep it comfortable despite its firmness. And the wide head (2.4 inches) spreads the contact comfortably over a broad surface area.

Fun Factory Vim Buttons Close Up
Click once to tap up or down on power levels, or hold the intensity buttons to gradually adjust the strength

The Fun Factory Vim’s controls are excellent and easy to use too.

It turns on and off with a simple press of the button (no need to hold it down like several wands require). But more importantly, it has separate buttons to increase and decrease power. You do not have to cycle through all the settings to return to a previous strength. And if you want more gradual increments between intensity levels, you can hold the (+) or (-) button to change the power slowly.

The only thing that could improve its controls is an additional button to move through the vibration patterns. You change vibration patterns by using the (+) and (-) buttons. Once you’ve reached the top strength, clicking the (+) button again will move you into the vibration patterns. You cannot alter the pattern’s strength since you use the (+) and (-) buttons to change vibration patterns. This is not a big concern since most people rarely use vibration patterns.

You can also use the Fun Factory Vim’s travel lock to keep it from accidentally turning on in storage. Just press and hold the “Fun” and “-” buttons together for 2 seconds to lock it. Hold “Fun” and “+” to unlock.

For a full-sized wand, the Magic Wand Waterproof is very comfortable and easy to use.

Magic Wand Waterproof Handle Comparison with Magic Wand Rechargeable
The Magic Wand Waterproof’s handle (bottom) is a bit wider and longer than the Magic Wand Rechargeable (top).

The handle is slightly bigger and heavier than the Magic Wand Plus and Rechargeable. So it takes a little more effort to wrap your hand around and maneuver. However, the handle is still very comfortable, and the thick handle dampens the vibrations in your hand very well. If you prefer a slim handle, you may be bothered, but the grippy plastic makes for a firm, comfortable grip. When the handle is wet, it’s a little more slippery, but it’s still easy to grip and maneuver.

The plush head provides a cushioned feel that keeps the wand comfy when applying firm pressure. The squishy, cylindrical-shaped head is the same size as popular Plus and Rechargeable models. That unique shape helps to vary the contact area – more precise using the rim of the cylinder, and broader stimulation using the side.

Magic Wand Cylinder Head Precise vs Broad Stimulation
The cylindrical-shaped head allows you to vary the contact area – precise stimulation using the cylinder’s rim and broad stimulation using the side of the head.

The slightly flexible neck moves with your body, but still allows you to press hard if you enjoy applying firm pressure. The extra weight of this wand applies natural downward pressure too – you can just rest the wand against your body without having to leverage it.

Closeup on Magic Wand Waterproof’s Controls
The Magic Wand Waterproof’s excellent controls allow you to cycle through 4 power settings with the top button, and cycle through the 4 patterns with the bottom button.

The buttons are well-placed and easy to reach without getting in the way. You cycle through the four power levels with one button and through the patterns with another. Typically, I prefer controls that allow you to increase and decrease power (like the Plus), but since there are only four power levels and patterns are on a separate button, it’s easy to quickly get to the setting you want.

The IPX7 waterproof rating also makes it easy to clean this wand – you can completely submerge it during use or when cleaning it.


Use During Sex


Use During Sex Rating 8.6 9.1
Fun Factory Vim Fit in Tight Space
Magic Wand Waterproof Fit in Tight Space
Spooning 9.0 9.5
Doggystyle 10.0 9.5
Modified Missionary 7.4 9.0
Cowgirl 8.0 8.5

The Fun Factory Vim works great during sex. Though it’s larger than I typically prefer during sex, the Vim’s rumbliness allows the vibrations to travel deep into my body in an effective way that’s not overstimulating.

So even though I can’t fit the Vim’s head directly near my clit in face-to-face positions where space is limited, the vibrations are still effective because they travel to my clit anyway!

Spooning and Doggystyle positions with the Vim are awesome! The head comfortably distributes pressure and vibrations, and I can grip the handle at multiple points along the handle for excellent leverage. The long handle is especially useful because you can prop it on the bed in these positions if your arm gets tired.

The Magic Wand Waterproof is excellent to use during sex, especially for a full-sized wand.

The cylindrical head shape makes it easier to get close, direct contact than most full-sized wands allow, even in positions where close contact is normally difficult like Cowgirl. Unlike a round head that doesn’t fill in angled spaces, the cylinder’s rim fills in space between two barriers for better contact and pressure as shown below.

Magic Wand Cylindrical Head vs Round Head in Tight Spaces
Cylindrical heads (left) reach better into tight spaces than round heads (right).

It’s best in more open positions like Spooning and Doggystyle where there’s plenty of space to maneuver the wand. The long handle is also easy to prop on the bed to support it, which is helpful since this wand is heavy. The large head spreads contact evenly, for comfortable and very stimulating vibes.

In Modified Missionary, the cushioned head is especially comfortable. Because space is tight in this position, your partner’s body will often press the wand’s head firmly against you. With firmer wands, this can be uncomfortable, but the Waterproof’s plush head provides a soft cushion.

You can also rest the wand flat against your body in this position and let its natural weight provide good pressure. This is great, as leveraging the wand is tricky in this position since it’s large and space is limited, but it’s still doable if you need to.

Magic Wand Mini and Magic Wand Waterproof
The Magic Wand Mini (left) is smaller and more easily maneuverable compared to the Magic Wand Waterproof (right).

If you want something quick and easy to move around, the smaller Magic Wand Mini may be better. But for a full-sized wand with extreme top strength, the Magic Wand Waterproof is very comfortable and provides the weighty feel that allows you to rest the wand with less effort put towards leveraging.


Noise


Noise Rating 8.5 5.4
Decibels on Low Power 35 dB 46.1 dB
Decibels on High Power 43.5 dB 60.2 dB
Audibility Behind Closed Door 8.0 4.0
Low Power Inaudible Inaudible
Middle Power Inaudible Audible
High Power Audible Audible
High Power with Box Fan Inaudible Audible
High Power with Music Inaudible Inaudible

The Fun Factory Vim has excellent noise levels. It’s the best option for those looking to balance power and discretion. Only weaker wand vibrators are quieter than the Fun Factory Vim.

For a wand this powerful, the decibel readings were especially low.

And during our testing, I could use most of the power settings in the bedroom without my partner being able to hear from the other side of the door. My partner could only hear the top level. And even then, my partner noted that he could barely make out the Vim’s sound. The vibrations are so deep that they’re unnoticeable unless you’re trying to listen for it.

Turning on a box fan easily masks the noise if you’re worried.

Since the vibrations are so rumbly, they have an excellent, deep sound that isn’t distracting. So, if you’re easily annoyed by noise, the Vim is a great choice!

The Magic Wand Waterproof is very loud – mainly on the higher settings. While I wouldn’t expect a wand this strong to be quiet, it’s even louder than other wands with this much power. As someone sensitive to noise, I find it distracting, and I prefer the Magic Wand Plus or Rechargeable for this reason.

The first setting was inaudible to my partner from the other side of the bedroom door. But every other setting was noticeable. Even turning on a box fan did not mask the noise of the top setting. Only playing music could drown out the sound completely.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 (demonstrated here) is much quieter than the Magic Wand Waterproof.

If discretion is important, or you’re easily distracted by sounds, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is more discreet, or the We-Vibe Wand 2 is an especially quiet wand!

Compatibility with Wanda 10.0 7.5

The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding compatibility with Liberator’s wand mounts for hands-free play. I test all my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. Both work very well with the Vim.

The Axis holds your wand while you lie across the mount on your stomach. I like using the Axis to hold my wand to my clit during sex while my partner penetrates from behind. The Axis grips the Vim’s handle firmly, keeping it securely in place.

And although curved or angled wands (like the BMS PalmPower Extreme) contact my clit more firmly, the Vim still maintains great clitoral contact and stimulates well. At 2.4 inches, the Vim’s head is one of the widest, which helps it reach my clit easily. And the exceptional rumbliness is a huge bonus during hands-free use. The rumbly vibrations travel deep and stimulate my clit even if the head is positioned away from my clit.

The Fun Factory Vim works even better with the Liberator Wanda because you have more variety. If you press the handle down far enough, you can enjoy the vibrations while fully sitting on the Wanda mount, which I love during alone time. Or you can position it farther up in the mount and straddle it on your hands and knees, which works great for hands-free stimulation during penetration from behind with a partner.

We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play. The Magic Wand Waterproof does well in both!

In the Axis, you lie over the mount on your stomach, and the Magic Wand Waterproof is held at a slightly upward angle between your legs. The large, tall head provides a broad surface area to press against and consistent contact with my clit. And the head’s plushness keeps the pressure very comfortable.

The Wanda mount holds the wand upright for use while kneeling or in doggystyle. Since the handle is a bit thicker than the Plus and Rechargeable, you have to push it down further in the mount in order for it to sit at the right height. But since the mount is cushioned and flexible, this is easy to do. Once you’ve positioned it well, the broad head is very comfortable and maintains consistent contact with my clit, which is especially important during hands-free use since you can’t adjust the wand yourself.


Battery Life

Battery Life on High Power 87 Minutes 197 Minutes
Can Be Used While Plugged In No No
Charging Cable Magnetic Proprietary Charger

The Fun Factory Vim is rechargeable and has good battery life. During our testing, it lasted about an hour and a half, continuously vibrating on its maximum power. Since it’s such a powerful wand, it’s also likely that you’ll use its lower and middle levels quite a bit. So your actual runtime will likely be longer.

The Magic Wand Waterproof has an outstanding battery life. In our test, it ran continuously on its highest setting for 197 minutes (over 3 hours) before dying. This is one of the longest runtimes of any rechargeable wand we’ve tested which is fantastic if you often forget to charge your toys. And this is especially long-lasting considering how strong this wand is. While the Magic Wand Rechargeable lasted a bit longer (248 minutes), it’s not as powerful as the Waterproof.

Magic Wand Waterproof and Port Cap
The port cap should be added back on when the Magic Wand Waterproof is not being charged.

It has an automatic shutoff every 20 minutes to protect its motor (though you can turn it back on immediately). Unlike the Magic Wand Rechargeable, the Waterproof cannot be used while charging. It comes with a small silicone cap to cover the charging port when not plugged in. The manual says to keep the port cap on when washing, and if water gets into the charging port, make sure to wipe it off.


Build Quality


Build Quality Rating 10.0 9.5

The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding build quality and feels exceptionally luxurious. The silicone is slightly plush, grippy, and textured – all of which feel comfortable and luxurious.

The solid weight of the motor makes it feel durable. The head is also heavier than the handle, so it naturally tips the wand down at the angle you want. The Vim seems very solid, and the flexibility in the neck is the perfect amount to keep it comfortable without feeling like it will break when I press firmly.

The Magic Wand Waterproof has excellent build quality. The plastic handle feels solid and sturdy, and the silicone head is plush and high-quality. The buttons are responsive and comfortable to press. Overall, it feels like a well-made, premium wand.

The Magic Wand Waterproof has an IPX7 rating, which means it has been independently tested and verified that the wand can be fully submerged in up to 3 feet of water, for up to 30 minutes.

However, the user manual instructs you to keep the included silicone cap over the charging port when cleaning. It is unclear whether the wand maintains its IPX7 rating if the cap is not in place. We have contacted the manufacturer for clarification but have not yet received a response. To be safe, we recommend keeping the port covered with the cap whenever you use the wand in or around water.
