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 Le Wand Dive has a narrow but strong power range, skipping over gentle settings and focusing on moderate to high strength. Its 10 power levels take you through a gradual journey in this range.

Compared to other Le Wand models, the Dive is similarly strong to the Le Wand Die Cast and full-sized models, and about 57% stronger than the Petite models.

This wand feels great when I want strong, buzzy stimulation without fumbling through too many lower levels – I personally enjoy this wand’s intensity range and find the lowest setting comfortable without a prior warmup.

But if you’re sensitive to intensity or like a slow build, this wand may feel overstimulating to you. Plenty of wands have wider power ranges at this price. For instance, the BMS PalmPower Extreme starts at a soft 2 out of 10 strength and reaches a stronger top power.

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 rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. However, this is an area of personal preference, so consider what you like. I enjoy buzzy vibrations myself.

The Le Wand Dive is very buzzy. The first two settings have a neutral feel, and all higher settings have a buzzy frequency. Only a few of my wands reach buzzier top settings. This is great if you prefer a high-intensity zing near the surface.

It’s my pick for the best buzzy wand because it has better performance across the board than my other buzzy wands – and I just enjoy the feeling of this wand’s vibrations. I enjoy neutral and buzzy vibrations for targeting a precise area – these vibrations stimulate more near the point of contact than rumbly vibrations which travel deep and spread farther.

If you prefer entirely rumbly vibrations, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is better for you. Or if you want a rumbly start with neutral vibes on high for a targeted feel, try the BMS PalmPower Extreme.

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 Le Wand Dive is very comfortable and easy to use.

I find the Dive’s handle size the most comfortable of all Le Wand’s line (the same as the Le Wand Die Cast models). The Dive is easy to wrap your hand around, and the length is excellent for leverage and reach. It doesn’t transfer the vibes into your hand, and the neck is strong enough to leverage for firm pressure.

The head size is between the Petite and Le Wand’s full-sized models. You can limit contact to a fairly precise area, but it’s broader than most mini wands, so you get the best of both worlds. The head is firm but doesn’t press uncomfortably like the larger wand’s head because you can limit contact to comfortable areas.

Its 15.7 ounce weight is lighter than most full-sized wands, making it easy to move around quickly, but it’s still heavy enough to apply a bit of natural downward pressure.

You can increase and decrease strength with separate buttons to find your ideal setting easily. You don’t have to cycle through the power levels like you often do with cheaper wands.

When it comes to the 19 vibration patterns, you do have to cycle through these with a single button. Most wand-users are after the steady vibrations, so this only affects those who use patterns frequently. You can power the wand off and back on again to start over – there is no memory setting (which is good, as I find memory features are usually more frustrating than helpful).

The Dive is the only waterproof wand in the Le Wand line with an impressive IPX8 rating, making it very easy to clean! You can completely submerge it while scrubbing.

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 Le Wand Dive is excellent to use during sex.

The medium-sized head fits comfortably between bodies without bumping into my pubic bone or causing distracting leg vibrations. But it’s still broad enough to spread the vibes comfortably.

Whether you’re in spooning, missionary, or doggystyle, keeping it in place and getting strong stimulation and good contact is easy.

In doggystyle, the long handle gives you enough reach and even lets you rest the handle’s base on the bed, so you don’t have to hold the wand up. In modified missionary, the contact was great, and while the longer handle could occasionally bump into some people’s chest, I didn’t find it a problem.

In really tight positions like modified missionary, I found myself wishing for a more plush head (like the Magic Wand Rechargeable’s), which would be even more comfortable. But it’s still comfortable either way. In cowgirl, leaning back slightly will give you the best angle/contact.

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 Le Wand Dive has reasonable noise levels considering its strength, but it’s not the most discreet.

The lower vibrations are quiet, and in our test, my partner could not hear them from the other side of the bedroom door. Once we reached medium and high strengths, he could hear the vibrations, but a box fan or music masked this noise easily.

If powerful but discreet vibrations are a priority, consider the We-Vibe Wand 2.

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 Le Wand Dive is compatible with several attachments. It fits with the Le Wand Petite attachments and several others as well. This means you’ll have options with different stimulation types to enjoy your wand in various ways. For all the attachments this wand is compatible with, see our attachment compatibility table here.

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.

We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Le Wand Dive works decently with both.

The Axis holds your wand angled up while you lie across the mount on your stomach. The Le Wand Dive’s size fits well in the Axis, and the head provides good vibrations, but only mediocre pressure.

So it’s not as effective as a large, plush head like the Magic Wand Rechargeable that keeps more surface area in contact with your body. You’ll achieve the best pressure with the Le Wand Dive and Axis if you prop the wand-end of the mount up a bit higher than usual to raise the head.

The Wanda holds the Dive more upright while you straddle the mount for hands-free stimulation. The mid-sized head is comfortable to press against and sits at a good height to use a few different ways. You can get good stimulation when sitting directly on the mount, or kneeling above it during penetration from behind. Though again, the broader contact of a full-sized head can be even more comfortable.

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 Le Wand Dive is rechargeable and has a great battery life, lasting 105 minutes on high power in our test. This is great if you want longer sessions or frequently forget to charge between uses.

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 Le Wand Dive has excellent build quality. The weightiness and grippy plastic handle feel sturdy, and the seams are well put together. The silicone head is very smooth, and the buttons have a quality feel that seems long-lasting.

The fact that it has an IPX8 waterproof rating, which undergoes more intense testing than the usual IPX7 testing may also be an indicator of an improved build and greater durability.
