Power vs Frequency Graph
How Strong Is Each Power? 

The Le Wand Petite’s top vibration strength is below half the power of my strongest wands. It’s still enough for me to orgasm with. But its overall strength is closer to my non-wand vibrators, like the Lelo Mona, than it is to my large wands.

This isn’t necessarily bad – many people will be happy with this level of power. I rarely use the upper settings on my strongest wands anyway. But for the price of the Le Wand Petite, I’d expect more power.

For example, the Magic Wand Mini has a touch more vibration power, and is around $50 cheaper. And Magic Wand is the most respected brand for wand vibrators.

Le Wand Petite with Stronger Wands
Less expensive wands that can achieve higher power than the Le Wand Petite (far left). Alternatives left to right: Magic Wand Mini, BMS PalmPower Extreme, and Magic Wand Plus

Or if you’re looking for immense power, the BMS PalmPower Extreme and Magic Wand Plus are twice as strong as the Le Wand Petite – and each is less expensive.

Something I like about the Le Wand Petite is that it offers both soft, lower levels and stronger, upper levels with small increments in between. Its low levels are comfortably gentle, and there are 10 intensity levels before you reach its maximum power. So you can enjoy light stimulation when you need softer vibrations and gradually increase strength.

But overall, the vibration power and range is simply mediocre for how expensive the wand is. This has been my experience with Le Wand’s products generally. I also tested the Le Wand Baton and Le Wand Grand bullet vibrators, and found them to be underpowered for their price too.

The Magic Wand Original is an extremely strong wand with only two power levels.

Even its lowest strength is much more powerful than any of my non-wand vibrators. It’s so strong, I typically only use the lowest setting. And even then, I prefer to use the Magic Wand Original over my clothes or underwear because of the intensity.

Its lowest strength pushes the boundaries of what I can handle when I’m not adequately warmed up – still enjoyably powerful, but any more strength would become overwhelming for me. I think many people will need softer levels to warm up.

While I enjoy the Magic Wand Original’s powerful vibrations, the body-safe Magic Wand Plus has some significant advantages over the Original.

Magic Wand Original and Plus Button Comparison
The switch-button of the Magic Wand Original (left) only has two different power settings, but the Magic Wand Plus (right) has four power settings

The Plus has four power levels instead of the Original’s two settings – and these four levels cover a broader power range. They start softer than the Magic Wand Original which can prevent overstimulation early on. And it finishes even stronger than the Magic Wand Original.
At a comparable price, most people will enjoy the vibrations of the Magic Wand Plus more.


Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)


Rumbliness Rating 6.6 7.0
Power vs Frequency Graph
Frequency on Low Power 48 Hz 75 Hz
Median Frequency 71 Hz 84 Hz
Frequency on High Power 85 Hz 93 Hz
Power and Frequency Balance 5.3 7.4

When we rate wands, we award higher scores to those with rumbly (low-frequency) vibrations and lower scores to those with buzzy (high-frequency) vibrations. But there are plenty of people who enjoy buzzy vibrations from time to time. Including me! So consider your own preferences during this discussion.

The Le Wand Petite starts out extremely rumbly on its lowest powers. But since these levels are pretty soft, most people will only use them briefly. And as the power increases, it quickly becomes less rumbly.

All the power levels with substantial power are in the neutral range – neither rumbly nor buzzy.

This may work well for you – I personally enjoy neutral vibrations too. However, even if you like vibrations in this part of the spectrum there are better options available.

Neutral FemmeFunn and BMS PalmPower Extreme vs Extremely Rumbly Lovense Domi and Dame Com
Stronger neutral-feeling wands, the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand (aqua) and BMS PalmPower Extreme (pink. And more rumbly-feeling wands, the Lovense Domi (black) and Dame Com (purple).

The FemmeFunn Ultra Wand is a cheaper option with moderately rumbly to neutral vibrations and stronger power. Or the BMS PalmPower Extreme has rumbly lower power levels, neutral high power levels, and substantially more vibration strength.

If you prefer those deep, rumbly vibrations, consider the Lovense Domi 2 if you like high power, or the Dame Com if you enjoy moderate strength.

Because most people want a wand vibrator with deep, rumbly vibrations, we rate these higher than buzzy wands. But it’s definitely a personal preference.

The Magic Wand Original has buzzy vibrations on high power. But the lower level which I use most has neutral-feeling vibrations: neither rumbly nor buzzy.

Personally, I don’t need all my vibrators to be extremely rumbly. I actually really enjoy the Magic Wand Original’s neutral vibes. But, I think most people want something more rumbly overall. Or at least a wand with some rumbly settings to enjoy.

Magic Wand Original vs Magic Wand Rechargeable vs Magic Wand Plus - Vibration Power vs Frequency Graph

If that’s you, both the Magic Wand Plus and Magic Wand Rechargeable are more rumbly than the Original when they’re vibrating at comparable power. And both have extremely rumbly low levels.

They’ll be a better fit for most people. But the Magic Wand Original’s vibrations are good for those who enjoy vibrations between rumbly and buzzy.

The Le Wand Petite is quite comfortable and easy to use. I have no complaints about the Le Wand Petite in this area.

The head is a little firmer than I usually prefer, but its smaller size means I can comfortably fit and press it into tighter spaces. And it’s pretty easy to leverage for nice, firm pressure.

The buttons are easy to press and provide all the necessary functionality for a positive experience. There are separate buttons to increase and decrease power. So you don’t need to cycle through power levels. And a third button controls pattern selection.

But there are many wands that are just as comfortable and easy to use while costing less. So if this is important to you, check out some of the other wands that score an 8 or higher.

The size of the Magic Wand Original makes it a little trickier to maneuver than some smaller wands like the Lovense Domi.

But with wands this powerful, I don’t need to maneuver them into a very precise spot. Or leverage them much for extra pressure. The strong, broad vibes easily stimulate the entire area. So maneuverability may not be as important to you.

Because the head is broad and the vibes are powerful, but not rumbly I feel the vibrations in my legs more than I’d like sometimes. This can occasionally become fatiguing. I don’t have this issue with smaller, more precise wands like the Lovense Domi 2. Or more rumbly full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Plus or Rechargeable.

Some of the Magic Wand Original’s vibes also travel into the handle. But it’s not too distracting to me.

Plush Magic Wand Original Head

I find the Original comfortable against my body, because the head is so plush. So it doesn’t bump uncomfortably against my pubic bone with heavy movement as some firm wands do.

I also really like the switch button. You can toggle between the top and low power. It’s intuitive and very easy to feel where the button is with your fingers – so you can easily control it without looking.


Use During Sex

Modified Missionary 8.5 8.0
Cowgirl 8.5 10.0

The Le Wand Petite is also enjoyable during sex.

The smaller handle and head take up minimal space and don’t get in the way. It’s easy to fit the Le Wand Petite between your bodies.

However, since the head is more firm I find it occasionally bumps uncomfortably into my pubic bone in positions where my partner and I are facing each other – like Missionary and Cowgirl.

So I prefer it in positions from behind like Spooning or Doggystyle where this is not an issue.

The Magic Wand Mini is similar in size to the Le Wand Petite, but it has a squishier head that I find more comfortable. I prefer it during sex over the Le Wand Petite. Or if you want an even smaller head for those extra-tight spaces, the Lovense Domi is excellent!

Either option is better during sex than the Le Wand Petite at a lower cost, so I don’t see a compelling reason to consider the Petite during partnered sex.

I enjoy the Magic Wand Original in most sex positions, though not Doggystyle.

I think it works extremely well in Cowgirl. In this position, there’s plenty of open space, so the long handle does not get in the way. I move around a lot in this position, and I find many wands bump into my pubic bone uncomfortably. But the Magic Wand Original’s plush head provides cushioning to keep it comfy. Though I’ll note, the Magic Wand Plus’s and Rechargeable’s body-safe silicone heads are also plush and comfortable)

In Spooning and Modified Missionary positions, the Magic Wand Original is fairly easy to use. Though, in these positions my legs are usually somewhat closed. And I can’t fit the Original’s wide head as close to my clit as I can with a small wand like the Lovense Domi 2. But since the vibrations are so strong, I don’t need to position this wand precisely. So it’s not a deal-breaker for me, and I still enjoy it in both these positions.

I find it more difficult to use the Magic Wand Original in the Doggystyle position. With the rounded head, I need to angle the handle really low to fit the head on my clit how I enjoy it. But then the handle bumps into the bed. The Plus and Rechargeable have more squared-off heads that fit better for me. I don’t need to angle their handles so extremely to get clit stimulation in Doggystyle.

Overall, it’s still a decent option during sex, though I prefer the Plus and Rechargeable. Or if you want a powerful wand that’s extremely easy to maneuver during sex, consider the compact Lovense Domi 2.


Noise


Noise Rating 7.1 5.9
Decibels on Low Power 47.9 dB 51.8 dB

Audibility Behind Closed Door 8.0 5.0
Low Power Inaudible Audible
Middle Power Inaudible N/A
High Power Audible Audible
High Power with Box Fan Inaudible Inaudible
High Power with Music Inaudible Inaudible

When we tested the Le Wand Petite’s decibel levels, it measured slightly louder than other wands with comparable power.

In practical use, I can use the mid and lower power levels without my partner hearing from the other side of a closed bedroom door. But he can hear the upper levels. So if you’re trying to avoid being overheard, sticking to lower powers will help. Turning on a fan or music in the bedroom also masked the sound of the Le Wand Petite.

If you want something more discreet, there are several quieter wand vibrators with comparable or greater power. Some of my favorites are the Viben Sultry (budget-friendly) or We-Vibe Wand 2 (better but more expensive).

Unfortunately, the Magic Wand Original is louder than most wands. I don’t find the sound distracting, but you’ll need to be conscious if you live with housemates.

If my partner stands on the other side of our closed bedroom door, he can hear it vibrating even on low power. When I turn on a box fan in the bedroom, my partner can no longer hear it on either setting. Playing music also drowns out the Original’s noise.

If low noise is important to you though, there are extremely powerful wands with more discreet low levels like the Magic Wand Plus and BMS PalmPower Extreme. Their softer settings are still powerful enough for me to orgasm while remaining more discreet.


Attachment Compatibility

Number of Attachments Rating 5.0 10.0
Stimulation Variety 10.0 10.0

For a mid-sized wand, the Le Wand Petite has great attachment compatibility.

Le Wand designed several high-quality attachments specifically for the Le Wand Petite. These attachments provide G-spot, prostate, anal, or dual-stimulation. Or they can add textured clit stimulation.

The Lovense Domi’s attachments also fit the Le Wand Petite – this adds the option for penis stimulation.

But keep in mind, the Le Wand Petite’s attachments also fit other mid-sized wands like the Magic Wand Mini. So you can still consider other wands if you want to use the Petite’s attachments.

Alongside other full-sized wands, the Magic Wand Original has the broadest range of compatibility with wand attachments.

Since Magic Wand is the most famous massager brand, many attachments are designed specifically for the Magic Wand Original, Plus, and Rechargeable. Though the Original’s head is slightly shorter than the Plus or Rechargeable, I’ve found all three wands are compatible with the same attachments.

You can find a compatible attachment for pretty much any kind of stimulation – G-spot, anal, prostate, penis, clitoral texture, dual-stimulation. You name it, you can likely find an attachment for it.

I also want to reiterate that the Magic Wand Original’s head is porous and cannot be sanitized. So if you go with this wand, you’ll want to get a body-safe silicone cap attachment like the Pleasure Works Pop Top. This is one of the reasons I recommend most people go with the Magic Wand Plus instead.

Compatibility with Wanda 7.5 6.4

I test my wand vibrators with Liberator’s wand mounts: the Axis and Wanda. These hold your wand for you so you can enjoy hands-free stimulation.

The Le Wand Petite gives excellent clit stimulation when placed in the Liberator Wanda mount. I find mid-sized wands like the Le Wand Petite rest at the best height in this mount. It’s easy to straddle the mount and keep the Petite in good contact with my clit. And I can easily lean forward to create more space for penetration while keeping the Petite on my clit.

The Le Wand Petite works decently with the Liberator Axis, but it takes some extra effort to get quality contact and pressure from the wand. With the Axis, it’s easiest to lie on your stomach over the top of the mount. It holds the wand angled out to the side at a slight upward angle between your legs.

My typical position when using the Liberator Axis mount (demonstrated with BMS PalmPower Extreme)

I find angled or curved wands are best with the Axis because it places the head of the wand closer to where your clit is naturally positioned. Since the Le Wand Petite has a straight handle, it’s not quite as effortless as wands like the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Dame Com (two of my favorite wands to use with mounts).

I test my wands with my two Liberator mounts for hands-free stimulation: the Wanda and Axis. The Magic Wand Original works well with the Axis and is average with the Wanda.

The Axis is best if you lie on your stomach, while the mount holds your wand horizontally at a slight upward angle between your legs.

Wand In Use with Axis Overlay
My typical position when using the Liberator Axis mount (demonstrated with BMS PalmPower Extreme)

The Magic Wand Original’s handle is a good thickness for a secure fit in the mount. I usually prefer curved wands in this mount so their head is angled up closer to my clit. But even though Magic Wand Original’s handle is straight, its head is large enough that the wand maintains excellent contact with my clit. I can also easily shift my weight down harder onto the Magic Wand’s head for firmer pressure when I want.

The Magic Wand Original is average when used with the Wanda. This mount holds the wand nearly upright. You can typically straddle the wand on your knees or bend all the way forward on your elbows and knees (in a sort of Doggystyle position).

With shorter wands, the head sits just past the fabric. So when straddling a short wand, I can lower my weight onto the wand’s head for good pressure and stimulation. But the Magic Wand Original sticks out too far to easily straddle it.

Magic Wand Original Used with Wanda Mount

The only way I can get comfortable clit stimulation is to get on my elbows and knees. So it’s a bit more limited, but this position still provides a good way to get hands-free clit stimulation. And on my elbows and knees, there’s plenty of room to have sex with my partner from behind while the Magic Wand Original is in the Wanda.

With a lot of movement, the Wanda’s fabric will occasionally toggle the power button which can be annoying. I haven’t experienced this issue with other wands, since the Magic Wand Original is the only one I have with an old-fashioned toggle switch.

If you want the best hands-free experience, the BMS PalmPower Extreme is excellent with both mounts. Its medium length is better with the Wanda. And its angled head is perfect in the Axis. It’s easily my favorite wand to use hands-free with mounts!


Battery Life & Power Source

This wand has a decent battery life. During our testing, it lasted 105 minutes continuously vibrating at its highest power. There is also a Plug-In version with nearly identical performance.

But for the price, there are many options with comparable or better performance – including more powerful toys that last longer on high power. For instance, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is one of the most powerful wand vibrators and lasts over 4 hours on high.

The Magic Wand Original is a plug-in wand, so battery life is not applicable. Corded wands have their own set of advantages and disadvantages.

A plug-in wand like the Magic Wand Original is always ready to go. You’ll never reach for it only to realize you forgot to charge the battery. But you have to play near an outlet (though the Magic Wand Original’s cord is 6 feet long so you have plenty of room). Some people also find a cord mildly annoying to work around.

If you find cordless wands more convenient consider the Magic Wand Rechargeable or BMS PalmPower Extreme (which is a bit more powerful too).


Build Quality


Build Quality Rating 8.0 6.0
Magic Wand Original Build Quality

The construction of the Le Wand Petite feels pretty well-made. The head feels durable and firm. The handle looks metallic, but it’s actually a thin plastic that feels a little cheap, but helps keep the wand from being too heavy.

Unfortunately, the Magic Wand Original has a porous vinyl head. Porous materials can harbor bacteria and cannot be fully sanitized. To make this wand body-safe, you can purchase a $20 silicone cap to cover the wand’s head. You can remove this cap and wash it between uses.

When you factor in the cost of the cap, it’s cheaper to just purchase the fully body-safe Magic Wand Plus.

Other than this, the Magic Wand Original is high-quality. The hard plastic handle and toggle button feel solid and built to last. And the head has a nice plush feel, which adds to the comfort – though the body-safe silicone of the Magic Wand Plus and Rechargeable are also soft and comfy.
