The Large Lelo Smart Wand 2 reaches a top strength that’s definitely stronger than my favorite non-wand vibrators. Though it’s not extreme like other full-sized wands.

I personally prefer moderate strength – I rarely (or never) use the top settings of ultrapowerful wands like the Doxy Die Cast or Magic Wand Plus. So I’m happy with the Smart Wand’s power, but people who want immense strength may consider one of those.

The vibrations also begin very gently (1 out of 10 vibration strength), and there are several intensity levels with tiny, gradual steps between each level. This is something Lelo usually does well – they rarely design a vibrator with large gaps between levels. So people who prefer milder stimulation or need soft levels for a warmup have plenty to enjoy before turning the power up.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has an intense top power of 7.33 out of 10 and an excellent power range, starting at a gentle 1.7 out of 10 strength.

This power range is wonderful for those who can get easily overstimulated because its lowest settings are very mild. With 10 intensity levels, steps between settings are gradual and comfortable. There’s one little jump, but it’s not distracting at all. And with such a broad range, you’re very likely to find settings at your ideal strength.

While there are some wands with an even more intense top setting, the We-Vibe Wand 2’s maximum strength of 7.33 is plenty for me. It’s about 1.2x stronger than the original We-Vibe Wand, and it packs an intensity that I consider extreme. Plus, since this wand is rumbly, the vibrations are especially impactful.

If you want more intensity, consider the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Lovense Domi 2. But most people will be happy with the We-Vibe Wand 2’s power.

The Large Lelo Smart Wand has some of the most rumbly vibrations I’ve ever felt – even on high power! Its vibrations are much lower frequency than the We-Vibe Tango X – a small bullet vibrator famous for its excellent rumbliness.

Most people prefer deep, rumbly vibrations. But the Large Lelo Smart Wand 2’s vibrations are so exceptionally rumbly that they feel very different from what most people are used to. You’ll have a strong opinion about the Smart Wand 2 – positive or negative!

Many who crave deep, rumbly vibes will absolutely love how these low-frequency vibrations feel. And others will discover that they actually prefer only moderately rumbly vibrations. Or stronger rumbly vibrations like the Orion Grande Wand provides.

I personally enjoy the Lelo’s rumbly vibrations if I hold it lightly against my clit. But I typically prefer firm pressure – and when I press these deep vibrations firmly into me, they’re so rumbly that I feel them spread throughout a large area of my body. I can even feel some residual vibes in my stomach. They don’t hone in and target my clit directly.

Many who love wands for their broad, deep stimulation will enjoy this quality. Others will want something less rumbly with vibrations that don’t travel quite as deep. I personally prefer wands that are still moderately rumbly, but not quite as low-frequency like the Magic Wand Rechargeable.

If you want pure rumbles, the Lelo wand definitely delivers!

We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has excellent rumbliness. Its vibrations are even deeper than the original version’s (which was famous for being a rumbly wand). And the updated wand’s settings are stronger while being more rumbly which is a great improvement.

Every power level is extremely or moderately rumbly except for the top strength, which has a neutral feel – this wand never becomes buzzy.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 also has a very similar vibration profile to the famous Magic Wand Rechargeable. If you look at the graph below, notice how the two wands’ vibrations lie along nearly the same curve. Since their vibrations are so similar, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is a great waterproof alternative to the Magic Wand Rechargeable, which has no water protection.

If you enjoy deep vibrations that travel into your body and impact a wide area, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is one of the best choices.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the We-Vibe app’s Close-Range Features, its Long-Distance Features, and its Connectivity in detail, and I’ll share videos demoing the app.

But here’s the main conclusion:

The We-Vibe app’s close-range features are decent for controlling the We-Vibe Wand 2.

The close-range features provide useful but basic control over your vibrations – mainly allowing you to select from preset patterns and change their intensity. Whereas other apps like Lovense’s provide a higher degree of customization, letting you create your own patterns in the moment, enjoy patterns other users have shared, and much more.

If in-depth control of your vibrations is a priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is a better wand for you. But if more basic control is fine, here’s what you can do in We-Vibe’s app:

In Single Vibe Mode, you select a predesigned vibration pattern, then drag the on-screen dot up or down to change the intensity.

If you want to change quickly between different vibration patterns, use the Multi-Vibe mode. Here, you can assign a different vibration pattern to each corner of the screen. When you drag the dot into a corner, that pattern starts vibrating. Drag the dot farther from the center to make the vibrations more powerful.

You used to be able to create your own pattern by drawing it on the screen, but this feature was very clunky and is no longer available. Instead, you can create your own custom “playlist” by combining pre-made patterns and adjusting their intensity and duration. We don’t know whether We-Vibe intends to bring back an improved pattern creation feature in the future.

Touch Mode lets you control the vibration intensity by moving your fingers across your screen. The faster you move, the stronger the vibrations are. It’s tiring, so I don’t use this feature.

Beat Mode lets you select a song saved on your phone, and the We-Vibe Wand vibrates to the music. Ambient Mode is similar, but the vibrations respond to the noise around you that your phone’s mic picks up. With both of these features, you can adjust whether the vibrations respond to the treble, midrange, or bass sounds, and you can adjust how strong the vibrations are.

I usually use these sound modes (especially Beat Mode) as a set-it-and-forget-it way to control my We-Vibe toys. The vibrations continually change without my active input. But it’s usually more fun with a wearable toy like the We-Vibe Chorus or We-Vibe Sync.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 (and the original version) are my only app-controlled wands with full-sized heads. 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, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is a good choice.
But if the app is your biggest priority, I recommend the Lovense Domi 2 instead. It’s a smaller wand but has better app functionality and features.

When you can get connected with your partner, the We-Vibe app’s long-distance features are pretty good – but there are some connection issues during long-distance play that are not present during nearby play (I discuss that issue in detail in the Connectivity section).

Within the app, you can send messages, photos, or video chat with your partner anywhere in the world. Your long-distance partner will use the same Single or Multi-Vibe control panels that you use during close-range play. So they can easily select a pattern and adjust its intensity.

You can mute the mic or turn off the camera if you’d prefer to provide control of your wand without sharing visuals or audio. And if your partner has a We-Vibe toy, you can control each others’ toys simultaneously!

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

Overall, We-Vibe’s app provides all the necessary long-distance features. But Lovense’s features are more extensive, allowing anonymous play, customized settings for each partner such as allowing them to take control of your toy without requiring permission first, and more.

So if long-distance play is a major priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is a better wand (also because its long-distance connection is better – discussed next).

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has reliable connectivity with the app in nearby Bluetooth mode, but its connection during long-distance play is unreliable.

For nearby play, the wand connects quickly and easily to the app over Bluetooth. The app walks you through connecting to your toy each time, and the process works consistently. I reliably pair the We-Vibe Wand in just a few seconds. And once it’s connected, it maintains the connection well. I don’t encounter issues with it dropping its connection, even after long periods of time.

In our test, we also separated the We-Vibe Wand 2 from the connected phone by about 275 feet before it lost its connection (your own results may vary). So, the Bluetooth range is excellent.

However, 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.

We-Vibe also updates their app frequently. Sometimes, it seems to take care of this issue, and we go weeks or months without experiencing the glitch. But then one day, we log into the app, and the issue returns. So we recommend Lovense if long-distance play is a priority since they have been consistently excellent for years.

For nearby play, we have had several years of consistently great connection from We-Vibe. But their long-distance connection has not proven to have the same reliability.

The Smart Wand 2 is decently comfortable and easy to use.

The head (and most of the wand) is coated in a comfortable, smooth silicone. But the head is fairly firm with only slight flexibility. This makes it easier to apply substantial pressure, but also detracts a small amount from comfort.

Since the head is large, it’s best for broad stimulation rather than precise placement. Its bulky head doesn’t fit easily into tight spaces. But since the vibrations are so rumbly, they spread throughout a broad area of your body near the point of contact. So pinpoint placement isn’t really necessary.

Compared to other full-sized wands, it’s a relatively light weight. So it’s easier to maneuver than heavy wands.

I find it easy to keep a firm grasp on the grippy handle. Its slender, curved shape provides several ways for you to comfortably grip the wand. But I feel the vibrations in the handle, which can be distracting if you’re sensitive to that.

The controls are easy to use, provide three separate buttons to increase power, decrease power, and cycle through vibration patterns. This is my favorite control system so that I don’t have to cycle through all the power levels to go back to a lower intensity. It’s quick and convenient for getting exactly what you want.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is very comfortable and easy to use.

This wand has better controls than most wand vibrators, with four primary buttons. It has two separate buttons to increase and decrease power. And two more buttons allow you to move forward and backward through the patterns. Most other wands only have a single button to rotate through patterns, which can be frustrating if you accidentally click once too far.

In my opinion, the buttons are an improvement from the original We-Vibe Wand’s joystick, which was quite stiff. So, I often had to use two hands to adjust the power of the original We-Vibe Wand. And it was easy to overshoot your intended power level. This isn’t so with the updated version.

The buttons to change the patterns also feel distinctly different from those to adjust the power, which is rare. So I don’t accidentally change the pattern when trying to increase the intensity because you can tell the correct button just from its feel.

The rigid, curved handle and slightly flexible neck make it easy to leverage the wand and apply pressure. And the head’s slight plushness keeps this pressure against your body comfortable – though it’s not quite as soft as the Magic Wand Rechargeable’s silicone.

A slight annoyance is that the handle’s curve rests awkwardly in my hand if I use it with the curve facing toward me. In this orientation, the handle only contacts the outside edge of my palm and the space between my thumb and index finger, so the pressure is not dispersed evenly along the full length of my palm as most handles do. It may feel a bit awkward – especially if you’re using it for a long time.

I prefer using it with the curve pointing away from me because gripping it this way is more comfortable. This also points the tapered section of the head towards me, which is great for more focused pressure, which I enjoy.

The vibrations travel some into your hand, especially on the highest power. It’s less than most wands this strong, but for those who are already sensitive to this, it may be slightly distracting if you use this wand for an extended period.

The shape of the We-Vibe Wand 2’s head was updated, and I love the new design because it’s more versatile. The original version’s head was a more typical cylindrical shape, so you got broad pressure from the side of the head or more focused pressure using the lip.

The new wand’s head offers even more variation because it’s wider on the front side, narrower on the back side, and still has the lip at the top. So using the front of the head, you get very broad contact that blankets your entire vulva. The tapered backside provides a long stretch of slimmer surface area that’s between broad and focused stimulation. And the lip at the top lets you limit contact to a more precise spot.

The Large Lelo Smart Wand 2 provides strong, broad vibrations during sex. And I’d recommend it as long as you’re ok maneuvering a full-sized wand around.

The Smart Wand’s broad head requires you to be more conscious of how you angle your body in some positions than a small wand. For instance, in Cowgirl I need to lean slightly backward to open up more space to fit the Smart Wand’s head near my clit. In more open positions like Spooning you can easily position the head on your clit and leverage the Smart Wand 2.

For a full-sized wand it’s lightweight, so maneuvering it isn’t too difficult, but it’s still more tiring than small wands like the Lovense Domi 2. But with the Smart Wand 2’s length you can typically find a way to prop the wand on its handle to support the weight. For instance, in Doggystyle, I rest the base of the handle on the bed which keeps my arms from getting tired.

In some positions like Missionary, I prefer to hold the wand near the head to put less strain on my wrist. The Lelo Smart Wand’s handle is pretty thick here which is a bit awkward for my small hands. It’s minimal discomfort – and if you typically grip near the handle’s base (where it’s slimmer) or have larger hands this won’t be an issue.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is excellent to use during sex.

It’s fantastic in the Spooning position because you have plenty of space in front of you to maneuver the handle, and the tall head applies comfortable, evenly distributed pressure.

Even in positions facing your partner where space is limited, you can still get good contact in pretty tight spots because the cylindrical head shape and tapered section help it fit more easily than large, rounded heads. And even when you can’t fit the head right near your clit, the rumbly vibrations travel well in any position, so the stimulation is still excellent.

The only position I found a bit trickier to use the We-Vibe Wand 2 is Doggystyle. The wand is a little heavy, and since the handle is somewhat short, you can’t easily prop the base against the bed to support the weight. However, you can put a pillow under the wand if your arm gets tired from holding it up.

The Smart Wand 2 Large is a reasonably discreet wand. We test whether my partner can hear each wand standing directly on the other side of the closed door while I use the wand in the bedroom.

He cannot hear the middle or lower power levels. But he can hear the upper powers. This is pretty typical for a wand with this much vibration strength. But if you turn on a box fan or music in the bedroom, it completely masks the sound of the Smart Wand 2 Large even on high power.

It’s vibrations are also very low-frequency which tends to be less noticeable – they sound more like background noise than buzzy vibrators. So this is a good option if you live with others and need to remain discreet.

NOTE: This product has gotten louder over time. We’re unsure if it’s due to the wear and tear we put on the product in our unique testing and storage habits. The Noise Test Results currently represented for this product are based on our original testing when the product was new, since this is what you would receive upon ordering.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has excellent noise levels, especially considering its power.

When we tested the wand’s noise while I used it in the bedroom, my partner could not hear it from the other side of the door on any of its settings, including the highest power. It’s fantastic if you need something discreet without sacrificing power.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 also has a unique optional feature called Smart Silence, which prevents the wand from vibrating unless pressed against your body. This can also be helpful for discretion since many toys are louder when vibrating in the open air than when pressed to your body (In our tests, it was quiet enough even without using the Smart Silence feature, but this gives you an extra level of reassurance).

The Smart Silence feature works 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.

Since the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large has a head similar in size to other well-known brands like Magic Wand, it’s compatible with a broad variety of wand attachments. You can find a compatible attachment for nearly any type of stimulation including G-spot, anal, prostate, penis, clitoral, and dual-stimulation.

For the most part all the wand attachments we’ve tested that work with the Magic Wands also work with the Large Lelo Smart Wand 2. We’ve only encountered one so far that fit the Magic Wand, and was a bit loose on the Smart Wand – but even this attachment (which is actually designed for the Bodywand) was still useable.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 works wonderfully with wand attachments.

Its head size is close to major full-sized wands like the Magic Wands or Doxy Wands, so most attachments are designed for heads about this size. You can find a ton of compatible attachments that offer a broad range of stimulation.

Unfortunately, the We-Vibe Wand 2 does not come with its own attachments like the original version did. However, the old We-Vibe Wand’s attachments are compatible with the new one!

To see all the attachments we’ve tested for compatibility with the We-Vibe Wand 2, head to our wand attachment compatibility table here.

I test my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play.

The Lelo Wand works perfectly with the Axis mount! With this wedge-shaped mount, I lie on my stomach across the Axis as it holds the wand slightly upward between my legs.

This wand has 2 major aspects that give it an exceptional fit with the Axis: an upward curve, and a broad head.

The upward curve positions the Smart Wand’s head closer to my clit than straight wands. So it easily stays in contact with my clit and provides good pressure. I don’t need to focus on keeping my body in contact with the wand – I can just lie on the mount and enjoy the vibrations.

And the large round head provides a broad surface that disperses the pressure comfortably along my vulva. And its size helps it maintain good contact with my clit in addition to the upward curve.

It stays firmly in place, so I don’t have to worry about it shifting around.

This wand works well with the Wanda mount too. This mount holds the wand upright, as you straddle the mount. The Lelo Smart Wand’s head rests at a comfortable height to kneel over. Or you can lean forward onto your hands and knees. But it sits too high to comfortably lower your weight onto the wand and grind as you can with some smaller wands.

The smooth head provides a great, broad surface for even, comfortable pressure in that kneeling position or on your hands and knees.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is fantastic in my wand mounts. We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play.

You can face the curve in either direction when placed in the Wanda mount, which makes the We-Vibe Wand 2 especially versatile. One direction positions the wand’s head higher up so you can kneel over the mount for penetration from behind. Or face the wand the other way so the head lies just above the mount’s fabric – this way, you can comfortably sit directly on the mount for hands-free stimulation.

It also works well in the Liberator Axis. The tall head and slight upward curve help it reach your clit more easily than other wands. And the broad head provides plenty of good surface area for comfortable, enjoyable stimulation. It doesn’t provide as firm of pressure as a more sharply angled head like the BMS PalmPower Extreme’s, but it’s still excellent. The deep, rumbly vibrations also travel deep to stimulate really well.

During our testing the Large Lelo Smart Wand 2 lasted over 105 minutes running continuously on its highest power – over an hour and a half. And you can play even longer if you often use some of the lower powers.

You can definitely find some that last longer, but I’ve found this is plenty for me!

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is rechargeable and has a fantastic battery life, lasting 147 minutes on its highest power in our test. This is well above average and plenty of time for me. I can use it multiple times between charges.

It comes with We-Vibe’s typical USB magnetic charging cable.

The Lelo Smart Wand 2 is cased in smooth silicone with a shiny plastic section at the base of the handle. The materials and overall feel of the handle are luxurious and sturdy.

This wand has an odd design for the connection between the head and neck, that feels like the head’s floating on the neck. It feels somewhat loose and makes me a little nervous about the longevity. But so far, it has not caused any issues or broken. I will update if that ever happens.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has excellent build quality. The buttons feel much higher quality than the joystick control of the original We-Vibe Wand. The motor sounds better and doesn’t rattle like the older one.

The silky silicone coats most of the toy and feels very luxurious, with plush sections on the head that are really comfortable. It feels like a solid and well-built toy. The neck seems very secure too – I apply pressure without feeling worried I’ll damage the wand.
