The Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium is one of the least powerful wands I own. Its vibrations are gentle from start to finish. I can orgasm with it, but it takes time and effort.

I have bullet vibrators that are stronger than this wand. If all you want is the strength of a bullet, I would recommend something less expensive like the Lovense Ambi, or the We-Vibe Tango X if you prefer more rumbly vibrations. Or if you want something with a bit more length and a handle to grip, consider the Lelo Mona 2 or Lovense Hyphy.

But if you want the strength that wands are famous for, then there are several stronger, cheaper wands. Consider the Lovense Domi or BMS PalmPower Extreme for powerful mid-sized wands. Or the Magic Wand Plus for a full-sized wand.

The Blush Lush Gia has a really enjoyable power range for the price – as long as it’s on sale for under $50. It has power levels similar to one of my favorite premium wands, the Magic Wand Mini, but at a lower price.

The wand end begins softly at a 1.7 out of 10 strength. I enjoy this warm-up level – it’s comfortable and helps me get in the mood without feeling overstimulated.

There are three power levels, maxing out at 4.7 out of 10 vibration strength. This is still slightly stronger than what you’d experience from a typical non-wand vibrator. It’s plenty of power for me to orgasm easily and reliably.

Those seeking a budget wand for more extreme power will be happier with the Orion Your New Favorite Wand, which reaches a 6.7 out of 10. Anything more powerful will require increasing your budget.

The Blush Lush Gia’s G-spot end is less intense but still enjoyable. Its strength is more comparable to a mini or bullet vibrator. But it’s more impactful than the other dual-ended wand we’ve tested (the Maia Zoe). So for those looking for a combination wand, the Blush Lush Gia’s power makes it a better choice.

This wand’s vibrations are rumbly (low-frequency) rather than buzzy (high-frequency). And typically, rumbly vibrations are what people prefer.

However, the Smart Wand 2 Medium’s vibrations are so low-powered, that they still have little impact on me even with their rumbliness. But there are many wands that have more power with the same amount of rumbliness, and our rumbliness rating takes this into account.

Some of these include the Lovense Domi 2, We-Vibe Wand 2, and the full-sized Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large – each is a powerful, rumbly wand.

We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer it. But preferences vary, so consider what you enjoy!

The Blush Lush Gia is not exceptionally rumbly, so if that’s your main priority, the Gia is not for you. However, its vibration levels span a versatile range with some rumbly and some buzzy levels.

The wand end’s first setting is impactful and rumbly. Then the middle and top levels feel neutral and moderately buzzy. Since I enjoy neutral and even buzzy vibrations (as long as they’re not overwhelmingly powerful), I really like the Gia. And if you’re unsure what frequency you want, the Lush Gia provides a range of options to experiment with and learn what you enjoy!

The Blush Lush Gia’s G-spot end ranges from neutral to extremely buzzy. I like more rumbly vibrations on my G-spot, so I don’t use the Gia internally often. But it’s still enjoyable and is my best dual-ended option.
If rumbliness is your priority, the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman is slightly more expensive – but it’s the cheapest wand with exceptional rumbliness.

The Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium is a comfortable and easy-to-use wand. Its thin, curved handle is comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver.

The smaller head has a tiny bit of flex in the neck, which is perfect for comfy, yet firm pressure. And the buttons let you increase and decrease power to get the right stimulation level. You don’t need to cycle through power levels.

But if you’re going to buy a wand at this price, you can find more better options that are just as comfortable. The Magic Wand Mini is an excellent option that’s a similar size, has stronger vibrations, is just as comfortable – and is much cheaper.

The Dame Com is another mid-sized wand massager with a curved handle that’s helpful for applying firm pressure. But I enjoy its vibrations more.

The Blush Lush Gia is very comfortable and easy to use, although its controls are basic.

One of my favorite things about it is the curved handle, which makes it very easy to leverage without tiring your wrist. You can feel the vibrations in your hand when the wand end is on high power, but I don’t find it distracting. And the handle width and curve provide a comfortable grip.

The small head (1.6 inches wide) fits easily between your legs for direct or indirect clit stimulation. And the flexible neck makes it great for those who enjoy firm pressure. The moderate flexibility keeps the pressure comfortable but does not detract from the amount of pressure you can apply.

Each motor has its own button to cycle through that motor’s 3 power levels and 4 patterns. I prefer a control system with separate buttons to increase and decrease strength. But there are only a few patterns, so cycling through them isn’t a huge pain point.

This wand’s size and curved shape are fairly convenient during sex, but the stimulation is too low to be truly enjoyable.

If you want any sort of stimulation from these low-powered vibes, you have to apply the pressure more directly to your clit than is usual for a wand. And even though the head is not large – it’s not as small as my bullets. So I have a more difficult time getting good clitoral contact during sex, between our bodies.

I recommend either using a smaller vibrator like the We-Vibe Tango X or Lovense Hyphy.

Or if you prefer a wand massager, you can just get something stronger. This way, you don’t need contact with your clit to be as direct to feel the vibes. I enjoy plenty of other wands during sex.

The BMS PalmPower Extreme and Lovense Domi are two of my favorites.

The Blush Lush Gia is excellent during sex. Its handle and head are slim, which helps it fit easily and comfortably between your bodies. The curved handle also helps you leverage the wand for pressure more easily – even in a limited space.

I can keep excellent contact with my clit for enjoyable stimulation in all positions, but the Gia excels in Spooning, Modified Missionary, and Cowgirl positions. Doggystyle also works well, but since it’s not a very tall wand, you can’t prop the base against the bed, so it can get tiring to hold after a long time.

The Lelo Smart Wand 2 (Medium) is definitely one of the quietest wands I own. But it’s not hard to be this quiet with such low power. There are many stronger wands that also remain discreet.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 for instance is a compact option that’s about 5x stronger and very discreet. My partner can’t hear any of its power levels on the other side of the closed bedroom door.

The Blush Lush Gia has passable noise levels.

During our noise testing, I could use both motors’ first two power levels in my room without my partner hearing it behind the closed bedroom door. But he heard the 3rd level of each motor.

If you’re worried about housemates overhearing, a box fan easily drowns the noise out. Or you can stick to the first two settings. The third setting could be annoying if you’re sensitive to sound since it’s a higher-pitched buzz.
If sound is one of your main concerns, the VeDO Wini is a comparably priced wand with better noise levels.

The Smart Wand Medium has limited compatibility with wand attachments.

Its head is close enough in size to the Lovense Domi’s that the attachments designed for it also fit the Smart Wand. These cover a decent range of stimulation (G-spot, anal, prostate, penis, clitoral texture). But you don’t have many options beyond these attachments.

If attachment compatibility is important to you, a full-sized wand is a better option. Most attachments are designed for the Magic Wand Rechargeable and Plus (or comparably-sized wands).

The Blush Lush Gia has poor attachment compatibility compared to most. Its head is smaller and slimmer than most wand vibrators. So only a couple of my wand attachments consistently work – the Lovense Domi attachments. One is a clit and G-spot attachment, and the other is for penis and prostate stimulation.

So you have options, but fewer than wands with large heads like the Orion Your New Favorite Wand.

I test my wands’ mount compatibility with my two Liberator mounts – the Axis and Wanda. These hold your wand for you so you can enjoy hands-free stimulation.

The Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium fits well with the Wanda mount. This mount holds the wand in a slightly angled upright position. Then you straddle the mount for hands-free vibes. With the Smart Wand Medium’s more compact size, its head is positioned at just the right height. You can easily lower your weight onto it – whereas full-sized wands can stick up too high in the Wanda.

It doesn’t work as well in the Liberator Axis. With this mount, you lie on your stomach and the Axis holds your wand to the side at a slight upward angle. In this position, the Smart Wand’s smaller size hurts it. It doesn’t reach my clit as easily as larger wands and I have to focus on keeping my body in just the right position.

With mounts, I prefer wand vibrator’s with larger heads. The BMS PalmPower Extreme and Dame Com are my two favorites to use with both mounts. They have larger heads and angled shapes that help keep them in better contact with my clit than the Smart Wand Medium.

The Blush Lush Gia has excellent compatibility with mounts for hands-free stimulation!

I test my wands with my Liberator wand mounts, the Axis and Wanda.

The Lush Gia does best with the Wanda mount. The Gia’s curved shape allows you to position the wand in multiple directions for a variety of stimulation. You can sit on the Wanda mount, straddling it for effortless, hands-free stimulation. Or you can kneel above the mount for clitoral vibrations during penetration from behind.

The Lush Gia works great in the Axis mount, too. You can lay over this mount on your stomach while the Gia curves upward between your legs. That curve helps to provide firm pressure and clitoral contact that straight wands often can’t achieve. It’s very comfortable and stays in place well.

The Lelo Smart Wand Medium has one of the shortest battery lives of all my wands. It lasts just 40 minutes on its highest power.

There are several longer-lasting options with more power. The comparably-sized Magic Wand Mini has more power and lasts for 3.5 hours on high! It’s a great option if you’re like me, and forget to charge your wand between uses.

The Blush Lush Gia has a disappointing battery life. During our test, it lasted only 45 minutes with its wand end continuously vibrating on high. You can extend that time by using the lower and middle power levels, but you’ll want to charge this one frequently.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly wand with a longer battery life, try the Orion Your New Favorite Wand, which lasted over an hour and a half on high.

The Blush Lush Gia has a G-spot vibrator on the opposite end from the wand. It’s an excellent addition for those who have never tried a G-spot vibrator and want to give it a whirl.

The shape is flexible, which helps with comfort, and the upward curve efficiently targets and presses on my G-spot. It’s best for those who enjoy a slightly girthy feel. If you don’t want much of a stretch, smaller G-spot vibrators like the Pillow Talk Racy G-spot bullet are better.

The Lush Gia’s G-spot vibrations are very buzzy. When it comes to internal vibrations, I prefer a rumbly feel like the vibes on the We-Vibe Nova 2 or Pillow Talk Sassy, so I don’t use the Gia for internal stimulation often.

But it’s certainly a fun bonus, and great for exploring what you like with just one vibrator purchase. And the G-spot stimulation is far better than the other dual-stimulation wand I’ve tested – the Maia Zoe.

The sleek, silicone and metallic plastic handle gives a sleek look to the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium that’s comfortable and functional. Overall this wand feels well-built and solid, though its motor is gentler than other wands.

The Blush Lush Gia has adequate build quality. The silicone has a high-quality feel, and the weight makes it seem sturdy. The buzzy G-spot motor sounds and feels a bit cheap, but the wand end is better.

Since it’s so flexible on both ends of the toy, it feels a little flimsy, but I don’t expect that bending it will damage it, and it hasn’t yet!
