The Le Wand Rechargeable has moderate to high-powered vibrations, and it’s surprisingly 9% stronger than the corded Le Wand Plug-In. It has 8 intensity levels, so increasing power is gradual. But it begins already fairly strong – there are no truly gentle levels for when you’re warming up.

And although the Le Wand Rechargeable is strong it has one of the weakest top-power levels for a wand its size. This may not matter to you – many people never use the upper strengths on their wand vibrators. But since it’s priced so high, I’d expect to have the option.

Wands this large and heavy are also more difficult to leverage for good pressure – so more natural power is nice to have. So if you like this size, I would recommend getting a stronger one like the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Magic Wand Plus.

And if you’re really on the hunt for the highest power – the Doxy Die Cast is the strongest wand massager I own.

Each of these also has a softer warmup power level.

The We-Vibe Wand has a great power range that reaches intense levels but starts extremely soft for those who need mild stimulation too. The unique joystick control lets you gradually adjust power. So it has more intermediate levels than most comparable wands.

But a downside of the joystick is that you need to time how long you hold it properly. There’s a slight delay between the moment you begin holding (or releasing) the joystick and the moment the power starts (or stops) changing. As a result, it can be easy to over or undershoot your intended strength.

The We-Vibe Wand’s lowest setting of 0.2 out of 10 vibration strength is the softest power any of my full-sized wands reach. This is awesome if you like a slow build or get easily overstimulated without a warmup.

The top strength is a 6.7 out of 10. Although some other wands are more powerful, including the BMS PalmPower Extreme and Magic Wand Rechargeable, the We-Vibe Wand is still much stronger than my non-wand vibrators. I don’t need to use the top strengths to orgasm – the middle powers are enough for me. However, I can still comfortably enjoy the We-Vibe Wand’s upper levels without feeling overwhelmed, as more intense settings often make me feel.
The We-Vibe Wand is excellent if you’re looking for powerful vibrations but want to avoid settings that feel too extreme. And you prefer a lot of intermediate levels between gentle and strong.

We rate rumbly wands higher than buzzy wands since most people prefer rumbliness. But vibration frequency is a personal preference. Consider what you enjoy!

The Le Wand Rechargeable is a buzzy vibrator. But it’s not too far on the buzzy side, so some people will enjoy it.

Only the lowest level falls (just barely) in the moderately rumbly range. Most of its power levels feel buzzy. Even though I enjoy some buzzy vibrators, high-frequency vibrations with this much power feel really uncomfortable to me.

If you want a powerful wand like the Le Wand Rechargeable, most people will prefer something with more rumbliness. Consider a strong, rumbly wand like the Magic Wand Rechargeable, or We-Vibe Wand 2.

Low-frequency, rumbly vibrations travel deeper and are what most people prefer over buzzy vibrations. But it is a preference, so consider what you like!

The We-Vibe Wand has great rumbliness, like most of the brand’s toys – the We-Vibe Tango X and We-Vibe Touch X are two of my most rumbly mini vibrators too.

The We-Vibe Wand’s lower two-thirds of its power range is extremely rumbly, and even its highest settings remain moderately rumbly. Its rumbliness is comparable to other wands in this price range, including the Magic Wand Rechargeable and PalmPower Extreme.

A few wands feel even deeper at similar strengths, including the pricier Fun Factory Vim or more budget-friendly Lovense Domi 2.

So it depends on your preferences when it comes to rumbliness. I prefer some rumbliness, but not too much, so the We-Vibe Wand is in a good spot for me. It’s a great choice for most people unless you have more extreme preferences regarding rumbliness.

The We-Vibe app is basic and a little disappointing. It still works, but if app-control is your main priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is a better wand for you.

We-Vibe’s main app features are limited and unintuitive. And the connectivity and responsiveness are just okay (we discuss connectivity and responsiveness here).

As We-Vibe has continued to update its app, the features have become more bare-bones over time. For instance, you used to be able to draw and create your own vibration patterns in the We-Vibe app. Now, you can only select from predesigned patterns.

You can control the vibration pattern and intensity a few ways. The “Single Vibe” screen lets you choose a predesigned vibration pattern and then drag up or down on the screen to change the intensity.

If you want to quickly jump between patterns, use the “Multi Vibe” setting. This provides four quadrants, each corresponding to a vibration pattern. Drag the on-screen dot into one of the quadrants, and the We-Vibe Wand will vibrate on that pattern. Dragging farther out from the center increases the vibration strength. You change the vibration patterns in each quadrant.

You can no longer create your own pattern, so you must stick to one of the presets. You can create a “Playlist” by stringing together different patterns but can’t change their intensity.

Using “Beat Mode” is supposed to make the We-Vibe Wand vibrate along to your favorite songs, but it often just vibrates on a constant power the entire time. Changing between Bass, Mid, and Treble doesn’t change the vibrations, nor does adjusting the intensity threshold. This glitch is specific to the We-Vibe Wand. Beat Mode works correctly with my other app-controlled We-Vibe toys like the Chorus and Sync.

The “Ambient Noise” feature should make your We-Vibe Wand vibrate stronger when the noise picked up by your phone’s mic is louder. But in my experience, the We-Vibe Wand just vibrates on a constant power regardless of the background sound. Again, this feature works correctly with my other We-Vibe app-controlled toys.

The We-Vibe Wand is my only full-sized wand with app control. The main control screens (Single Vibe and Multi Vibe) work well – they’re just basic. So if you want a full-sized wand with app control as a bonus, it can still be a good choice.

But if excellent app control is important to you, I recommend the Lovense Domi 2 instead. It’s a smaller wand, but has much better app functionality and features.

The We-Vibe Wand’s app is alright during long-distance mode. It gives you the basic features that you need for long-distance play. But some connection issues happen during long-distance play that don’t occur during nearby play (I discuss that issue in detail in the Connectivity section).

You can text with a partner, send photos, share control of your wand, and video call. When your partner controls your toy, they can adjust the intensity and patterns through the “Single Vibe” and “Multi Vibe” screens discussed above in Close Range Features.

The video chat feature allows you to mute or turn off your video feed anytime if you’d rather your partner not see or hear you. Or if you’d like to see your partner better, you can minimize the control panel and make the video full-screen.

If your partner also has a We-Vibe toy, you can simultaneously control each other’s.

The section for partner play is less intuitive than other apps like Lovense when it comes to notifying you of their activity and requests. You must go to your partner’s chat screen to see if they’ve requested control of your toy. If you don’t communicate first outside of the We-Vibe app letting your partner know you’re about to send a request, it’s unlikely they’ll see your request.

You can store multiple partners, but you can’t send out anonymous links like you can with Lovense. Anyone controlling your toy will need your We-Vibe username.

We-Vibe’s long-distance experience covers the basics but is more challenging to use than some. If long-distance play is your priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is a better wand for you.

The We-Vibe Wand’s connectivity with the app is good in nearby mode, but long-distance play is unreliable. If the app is a top priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is the better choice for you.

The Bluetooth connectivity is reliable. For instance, the We-Vibe app walks you through a simple process to connect the app and wand together. This process works correctly, and I never have issues getting the wand paired with the app. Once it’s paired, it stays reliably connected. I don’t have issues with the connection dropping out and needing to repair the wand.

During our testing, the We-Vibe Wand and app remained connected by Bluetooth when separated up to 388 feet. But since this isn’t a wearable like the We-Vibe Chorus or We-Vibe Sync, it’s not a huge benefit.

However, there are responsiveness issues between the app and the wand. When using the main Single Vibe and Multi Vibe screens to control the We-Vibe Wand, there is occasionally a couple-second delay between making an adjustment in the app and the wand’s vibrations changing.

Sometimes, it works smoothly. Other times, the delay is there. If you make frequent changes, you’ll find it distracting. The “Beat Mode” and “Ambient Noise” features available when controlling other We-Vibe toys are unavailable for the original We-Vibe Wand.

The connection during long-distance play is unreliable due to a glitch in the We-Vibe app that has appeared on and off over the years. If you need reliable long-distance play, get the Lovense Domi 2 instead.

The We-Vibe app sometimes shows both partners’ status as “offline” even though we are both online. When this glitch happens, you cannot share control of your wand at all because the app won’t let you send an invite to your partner. When this issue has occurred, we’ve tried several workarounds with limited success. Neither updating the app, deleting the We-Vibe app and redownloading it, nor trying to create a new partner profile have resolved the issue. What has worked for us is this:

1. Both partners need to open the settings tab in the We-Vibe app and select Factory Reset.
2. Then when you go to connect your We-Vibe Wand 2, you will be prompted to update the vibrator’s firmware. Go ahead and update it.
3. Then, re-add your partner in the We-Vibe app. At this point, we’ve been able to connect again long-distance.

We don’t know whether this solution universally works for everyone, but it’s what has worked for us. Anytime we get connected, we’re able to stay connected. But as you can see, getting connected in the first place is often frustrating.

If app control is a top priority (not just a fun bonus), the Lovense Domi 2 is a better choice – its app has better features, and Lovense’s connectivity has consistently proven reliable over the years.

While very few of my wands, including the Le Wand, are really uncomfortable – I consider this wand one of the more difficult to use.

The main problem is that it’s heavy. And the weight is distributed in a way that makes it feel even heavier than others with a similar weight like the Magic Wand Rechargeable.

The handle is also a little wider than I find comfortable with no contouring to help (like the Viben Sultry has, for instance). So it can grow tiring during long sessions. The mid-sized Le Wand Dive is much easier to grip and maneuver.

I also find the head too firm for my taste. I am ok with a firm head on smaller wands. But the Le Wand Rechargeable’s head is large enough that it bumps against my pubic bone occasionally. And without a squishy head, this can be uncomfortable.

I prefer large wands with plush heads like the Magic Wand Rechargeable or Magic Wand Plus.

Note: The handle material does affect the experience. My Le Wand Rechargeable, which I ordered in “white”, is a shiny, grippier plastic, which sticks to my hand better. I ordered the Le Wand Plug-In in “cream”, which has a matte finish, and this slides in my hand more easily, so it takes more effort to hold. Since you can’t select the exact handle material (only the color), you can contact the manufacturer before purchasing to ensure you get your desired finish if this matters to you.

The We-Vibe Wand has fantastic comfort and ease of use.

The long, curved handle is comfortable and easy to grip. The curve helps you leverage the wand more easily for firm pressure. And I find it comfy with the curve facing toward or away from you. The handle is especially slim near the controls, providing your finger a comfortable resting place near the joystick. Some vibrations travel into the handle, but it’s nothing too distracting.

The We-Vibe wand has the tallest head of all my wands, but it’s not too wide. The three full inches of head length provide a great amount of surface to cover the whole vulva and provide lovely broad stimulation. But since the head isn’t too wide, it doesn’t hit the sides of your legs much. It’s very easy to sandwich comfortably between your legs.

The head is primarily firm and can jostle around a bit from the rumbly vibrations. But if this bothers you, the back side of the head is slightly more plush. Despite its large size, it’s easy to move around.

The joystick control is unique to the We-Vibe Wand and has advantages and disadvantages – whether you’ll enjoy it is a preference. Hold the joystick up or down to change the vibration power slowly. The main advantage is that this gives you easy access to any power level within its range instead of being limited to preset power levels.

And some people will find holding a switch easier than the alternative of keeping a small button pushed down. The joystick is pretty firm, so I have to use two hands on the We-Vibe Wand to adjust power, but my partner can do it easily with one hand. You may find this more accessible or more challenging to use. There’s also a slight delay between the joystick activation and the vibration change (discussed in the power section above)

The We-Vibe Wand also has a unique optional feature called Smart Silence, which prevents the toy from vibrating unless pressed against your body. This can be helpful for discretion since many toys are louder when vibrating in the open air than when pushed to your body. The Smart Silence feature works surprisingly well. The vibrations start and stop instantly upon pressing it to my body and lifting it off. And it can tell whether the head is in contact with me or some other random object. If you do not like this feature, it’s easy to turn off.

As with general comfort, I also find the Le Wand Rechargeable more difficult to use during sex than other large wands. Mainly due to its weight, firm head, and buzzy vibrations.

It’s tiring to use the Le Wand in positions where you’re holding the wand’s weight up, like Spooning and Doggystyle.

Missionary is the easiest position to hold it in since I’m lying on my back, and the weight adds natural pressure. But the large, rounded head is difficult to fit in tight spots, so I can’t position the head very near to my clit. I feel the vibrations that manage to travel through my body rather than enjoying direct contact like I typically prefer with more buzzy wands like this.

Because the vibrations are buzzy, I also have to press them harder against me to feel them effectively. So I have to leverage this heavy wand even more! Whereas rumbly vibrations naturally travel deeper.

The firm head also bumps into me uncomfortably with a lot of movement during sex. I’d prefer a more plush head. A curved handle or angled head would also help fit this wand’s large head into tight spaces without discomfort.

If you want a powerful wand that’s easy to use during sex, consider the BMS PalmPower Extreme – one of my personal favorites. It’s stronger, lighter, and has a helpful angled head.

The We-Vibe Wand is great during sex, especially for a full-sized wand.

What gives the We-Vibe Wand a boost is the tall, cylindrical-shaped head. Because the head is tall, you get the broad stimulation you expect from a wand vibrator. But the head is narrower than most full-sized wands, so I can fit it closer to my clit even in face-to-face sex positions where space is limited (like Missionary or Cowgirl). The handle’s curve also prevents the wand from hitting my partner’s body in these positions.

The rumbly vibrations also help because they travel deep into my body and impact the entire area – so I don’t need to position the We-Vibe Wand that precisely.

I love the We-Vibe Wand in more open positions like Spooning and Doggystyle too. The head size is perfect for firm, evenly distributed pressure. And the handle is long enough to prop against the bed to help support the wand when I get tired of holding it.

Unfortunately, the Le Wand is one of my loudest wands. And you can’t simply keep the power low to be discreet. The lowest level is almost as loud as the highest setting!

When my partner sits on the other side of our bedroom door, he can hear me using the Le Wand Rechargeable on all power levels. However, turning on a fan or music does drown it out.

But there are definitely quieter options if sound is a priority. The Magic Wand Rechargeable and especially the We-Vibe Wand 2 are powerful wand massagers with more discreet sound levels.

The We-Vibe Wand has discreet sound levels. During our testing, my partner could not hear the wand on any power level from the other side of a closed door – even without using the Smart Silence feature.

However, I was surprised because the wand can make a rattling noise depending on how you hold it. If you’re sensitive to noise, you may find the rattle distracting even though it’s unlikely to be heard by housemates. In this case, you may consider the Fun Factory Vim or Magic Wand Rechargeable instead.

But if you’re just worried about people you live with overhearing, the We-Vibe Wand is a discreet option with good strength.

The Le Wand Rechargeable is compatible with a large variety of wand attachments.

Le Wand has several attachments designed specifically for this wand. And since the head size is close enough to the full-sized Magic Wands, it’s also compatible with attachments designed for them.

Whatever stimulation you’re looking for (G-spot, anal, penis, dual-stimulation, etc.), you can find an attachment that fits the Le Wand Rechargeable.

But since the Magic Wand Rechargeable and Magic Wand Plus have the same attachment compatibility and outperform the Le Wand in other areas, I’d consider one of them instead.

The We-Vibe Wand has excellent attachment compatibility and even comes with two attachments of its own! This is part of what makes the We-Vibe Wand a good value. One provides fluttery stimulation for your clit, and the other provides penis stimulation. You cannot buy these attachments separately at We-Vibe or other shops.

The clit stimulator is a flutter-tip ring that wraps around the entire head. It provides a gentle “flicking” sensation that I love. The small curved flaps range in height, so you can choose what’s most comfortable. They sort of sandwich the clit, and can transfer slow and soft flutters on low power, and quicker, substantial ones on high.

The penis attachment has textured ridges on the bottom that stimulate the frenulum and smooth wings that wrap around the side of the shaft. It doesn’t completely enclose the penis as a stroker would, so my partner says he needs to keep one hand near the unenclosed side to keep his penis “on-track” moving back and forth through the attachment. He finds the stimulation very enjoyable and better than similar attachments like the Le Wand Loop.

Because the We-Vibe Wand is full-sized, it’s also compatible with various attachments from other brands. You can find a compatible attachment for pretty much any kind of stimulation including clit, G-spot, penis, prostate, and dual-stimulation. To see all the attachments we’ve tested for compatibility with the We-Vibe Wand, head here.

The Le Wand Rechargeable works fairly well with wand mounts for hands-free stimulation! The two mounts I test my wands with are the Liberator Axis and Wanda.

Of the two, the Le Wand works better with the Axis mount. With this wand mount, you lie across it on your stomach, and the Axis holds the wand to your clit at a slight upward angle. It gives effortless clit stimulation in a relaxing position. But better yet, you can enjoy the vibes during sex with your partner penetrating from behind.

The Le Wand’s larger handle keeps this wand in place well. And the tall, broad head provides lots of surface area to receive clit stimulation from. So the Le Wand stays in great contact with my clit and provides good pressure. The only wands I like better with this mount are angled or have a curved handle – like the BMS Palmpower Extreme or Dame Com.

Le Wand Rechargeable is trickier with the Wanda mount. This mount holds the more upright. Then you straddle the mount as it holds the wand to your clit.

The Le Wand is slightly taller than I’d like for the Wanda – I can’t rest my weight down on it. If you’re taller than me, it may work better for you. I’m 5’4” for reference.

In general, I find slightly shorter wands like the BMS PalmPower Extreme easier to use with the Liberator Wanda mount.

The We-Vibe Wand is excellent in my wand mounts for hands-free play. I test my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda wand mounts.

The Axis holds the wand toward your clit horizontally at a slight upward angle. You lie on your stomach along the mount for effortless, hands-free stimulation. The We-Vibe Wand stays firmly inserted in this mount and holds the head at a great angle.

Typically, curved or angled wands in the Axis reach your clit more easily and provide better clitoral contact over straight wands (the angled BMS PalmPower Extreme is the best wand to use with the Axis). But the We-Vibe Wand’s curve begins too far back along the handle to provide additional benefit when placed in the Axis. The We-Vibe Wand’s head is positioned from the end of the Axis’s fabric just like a straight wand. Still, the hands-free clitoral stimulation is excellent.

The We-Vibe Wand is exceptionally versatile when placed in the Liberator Wanda mount. When using the Wanda Mount, you can straddle the mount, lower your weight down onto it, or kneel over it on your hands and knees (which works great for hands-free stimulation during sex).

In this mount, the We-Vibe Wand’s curve does affect the way the mount holds the wand. Facing the We-Vibe Wand different directions will change where the head is positioned above the mount.

This allows you to vary the pressure and stimulation or locate the wand in a better spot for your particular body position. The tall head offers a comfortable, broad surface for excellent hands-free stimulation.

Battery life is where the Le Wand Rechargeable really crushed it. It has one of the longest battery lives of any of my rechargeable wands at 224 minutes on high power. And you can use it while plugged in (a rare feature for rechargeable wands), so you don’t need to wait for the battery to charge.

That being said – I don’t think a long battery life is reason enough to justify the high price of this wand. And there are several other high-powered wands that will provide 2+ hours of play easily, including the Magic Wand Rechargeable (which you can also use while plugged in) and We-Vibe Wand 2.

The We-Vibe Wand is rechargeable and has a fantastic battery life. During our testing, it lasted 162 minutes, continuously vibrating on high power. Since you’ll likely use the lower and middle levels during ordinary use, your typical runtime will probably be more than the two-and-a-half hours it lasted in our test. This is a nice bonus if you’re like me and forget to charge your toys between uses.

The plastic handle of the Le Wand Rechargeable feels much thicker and more sturdy than the handle of the Petite. The neck is thick and strong, so I’m not worried about applying firm pressure.

Compared to the Magic Wand, the Le Wand’s firm silicone head is not as high-quality and the buttons are not as comfortable to use. But it’s still a well-built and solid wand.

The We-Vibe Wand has a good build quality, but it’s not exceptional for the price.

The slightly flexible neck does not feel overly flimsy, so I can apply firm pressure without worry of damage. The powerful, rumbly motor also feels high-quality. But it doesn’t always respond immediately to the joystick.

The body-safe silicone material, elegant curves, and textured areas make the We-Vibe Wand feel more luxurious and comfortable. Depending on how you hold the wand, there is sometimes a rattling sound in the handle, making it feel cheaper.
