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.

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 Orion Your New Favorite Wand has excellent strength and a nice range, spanning low, medium, and high powers. I’m impressed with the vibration settings for how budget-friendly this wand is.

There are only 3 intensity levels, but the highest reaches a 6.7 out of 10, which is significantly stronger than my non-wand vibrators. While there are more powerful premium wands like the PalmPower Extreme or Magic Wand Plus, the Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the strongest wand I’ve tested that’s under $50. And even with its compact size, its strength is comparable to many full-sized wands.

The lowest setting is a 1.8 out of 10, which I find comfortable as a warmup. But since this setting is quite rumbly, it still impacts your whole vulva. So if you get overstimulated easily, you might consider the Romp Presto, which begins gentler and has smaller increments between power levels.

But the Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the most budget-friendly option for those who want a more traditional wand’s strength.

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.

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.

We rate rumbly wands higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has good rumbliness. The first two power levels have that deep, rumbly feeling, but the top strength feels more neutral.

The middle setting, with a 5.25 out of 10 vibration strength, provides a powerful, rumbly level to enjoy. And the lowest setting provides a gentle, rumbly warmup. It’s the most rumbly wand vibrator at this price point.

If you want all the power settings to be rumbly, the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman is the next most affordable option. Unfortunately, most wands with excellent rumbliness, like the Magic Wand Rechargeable or We-Vibe Wand 2, come at a higher price.

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 Orion Your New Favorite Wand is very comfortable and easy to use.

It has excellent, simple controls. It has separate buttons to increase and decrease power, so you don’t need to cycle through intensity levels to return to a gentler setting. It has a third button to rotate through the 4 vibration patterns. And you can adjust the strength of each vibration pattern. Multi-button wands like the Orion wand make it quick and easy to find an enjoyable setting.

Although the handle is short, the head is large, like a full-sized wand. It’s great for those who find broad stimulation that spreads over your whole vulva comfortable and enjoyable. I find direct clitoral stimulation more comfortable with broad wands like Your New Favorite Wand because the stimulation spreads out and feels less overwhelming to me.

The large head means you can’t easily limit the contact or avoid particular areas. But the flexible neck helps to keep the contact comfortable.

The short handle can be tiring to leverage for firm pressure over long periods but is fine for typical sessions. And the handle is thicker than other mini wands, which I find comfortable to grip. The thicker handle does an excellent job of dampening the vibrations, so you don’t feel them much in your hand.

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.

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand is passable during sex, but mini wands with a smaller head (like the comparably-priced Romp Presto) are easier to use with a partner. The Orion Your New Favorite Wand works well in open positions but is only decent in positions facing your partner.

The Orion’s large head works best in a spooning position or doggystyle, where the space between you and your partner is not limited. In fairly open positions like these, you can position the Orion wand’s large head close to your clit, and its powerful vibes spread throughout your whole vulva. And in these positions, you can easily angle the Orion’s short handle however you want.

Face-to-face positions like missionary or cowgirl are more challenging. It’s doable, but you may need to be intentional with your body position. In these positions, space is limited. And since the Orion’s handle is short, both your hand and the wand’s large head take up space. It’s more difficult than a short wand with a small head or a long wand with a large head. It gets crowded, and angling the wand where you want takes more thought.

If using a wand with a partner in a variety of positions is your main priority, I recommend the VeDO Wini or Romp Presto in this price range. If you prefer positions from behind or using your wand during sex is just a bonus for you, then the Orion is still a great option.

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).

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has mediocre noise performance. The sound itself isn’t annoying because the pitch isn’t too high or distracting, but it is fairly audible.

My partner could hear the top two levels from behind our bedroom door during our testing. Only the lowest setting was completely inaudible in our silent house.

If you have roommates, the VeDO Wini or Romp Presto are quieter options in this price range. Or some premium wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable and We-Vibe Wand 2 have more strength while remaining quieter.

However, you can freely use the Orion Your New Favorite Wand’s entire power range if you turn on a box fan or play music in your bedroom. Both these options completely masked the Orion wand’s sound in our testing.

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.

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has excellent attachment compatibility – the best of any mini or budget-friendly wand! Even though it’s a short wand vibrator, it has a large head. Since most wand attachments are designed for full-sized wand vibrators, the majority of these attachments fit the Orion wand.

Of the wand attachments I own, there are compatible attachments for clit, G-spot, anal, penis, and dual-stimulation, so it’s versatile.

See our wand attachment compatibility table to see which ones fit the Orion Your New Favorite Wand Massager.

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.

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).

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has excellent compatibility with wand mounts for hands-free play. I test my wands with my Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts.

The Liberator Axis allows you to lay over the mount on your stomach while the wand is held slightly upward between your legs. This is my preferred mount for hands-free stimulation during sex.

The Orion’s thick, short handle securely fits in the mount’s slot. And Your New Favorite Wand Massager’s head is actually wider than most full-sized wands. This extra girth helps it reach my clit more easily and provides more consistent pressure and contact with my clit than a narrow head. The stimulation is excellent!

The Orion also works great in the Liberator Wanda. You can straddle the Wanda in a doggystyle position for hands-free vibrations and penetration from behind with a partner. Or you can simply sit on the mount and enjoy easy hands-free stimulation. The Orion wand’s head rests just above the fabric so you can lower your body onto it (unlike tall wands). It’s very versatile!

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 Orion Your New Favorite Wand is rechargeable and has great battery life. During our testing, it lasted an hour and a half on high power. I can usually enjoy this wand a couple of times before I need to charge it again.

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.

The build quality of the Orion Your New Favorite Wand seems outstanding, especially for a wand around $50. It feels well put together and has a nice weighty feeling. The overall structure has no weird, uncomfortable seams. It’s ABS Plastic handle and silicone head feel durable, though not as luxurious as entirely silicone wand vibrators. The neck is comfortably flexible, but I can apply firm pressure without feeling like I’ll damage the wand. And the buttons are solid and have a good feel.
