The Lovehoney Deluxe Plug-in wand has moderate vibration power – stronger than most mini wands, but softer than most full-sized wands, maxing out at 6.7 out of 10. It’s certainly more powerful than any non-wand vibrator I own, but it’s not extreme. It can be a good option for those who enjoy a nice kick of power but don’t want anything too overwhelming.

It also provides plenty of power range – beginning softly at a 1.9 of 10 and working gradually in small steps through 10 levels up to its highest power. Most large wands have between 4 and 8 power levels, so the Lovehoney Deluxe’s 10 settings provide more subtle steps between levels than other wands.

I personally only need level 5 or 6 to orgasm, so unless you need something very intense, you’ll likely be happy with this wand’s power range. But if you want the extreme strength full-sized wands are famous for, others like the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Magic Wand Plus will suit you better.

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.

We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people tend to prefer them. However, preferences vary and some people enjoy neutral or even buzzy vibrations more – the Lovehoney plug-in wand is best for these people.

Although its first four settings are rumbly, the higher settings range from neutral to moderately buzzy. Many people will need its middle or upper levels to orgasm so you’ll likely spend a lot of time on the neutral-feeling or buzzy settings.

While I personally prefer more rumbly wands, I still enjoy this wand’s vibrations since they are not overly powerful or extremely buzzy. The buzziness is not overwhelming like other wands, such as the Viben Obsession. The Lovehoney wand will be in the sweet spot for some people. But the majority of people will prefer something more rumbly like the Magic Wand Rechargeable or PalmPower Extreme.

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.

This wand is larger, which can make it more challenging to maneuver due to its weight and bulkiness. Even compared to other full-sized wands it’s longer with a larger head. The wide handle also requires more effort to grip firmly compared to slimmer handles.

However, the weight can also feel good, as it provides natural pressure and does some of the work for you. Larger wands like this offer diffuse, broad stimulation. While some, like the Magic Wand Rechargeable, have a cylindrical head with a lip that provides more focused stimulation when you’d like, the Lovehoney Plug-in Wand has a very round shape, providing broad stimulation only.

The buttons on this wand are easy to feel and use. You don’t need to cycle through intensity levels, as it has separate buttons to increase and decrease power.

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 large size makes it tricky to use during sex. It has the biggest head of any wand we’ve tested, even though it’s not more powerful than similar wands. 

The bulky head requires you to spread your legs fairly wide to fit the wand near your clit. In most positions, my partner and I need to be aware of our body placement and adjust to accommodate the wand’s size.

And since its vibrations aren’t extremely rumbly nor extra powerful, I need to fit the head pretty near to my clit. Whereas stronger, more rumbly full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable can effectively stimulate my clit indirectly. So precise placement isn’t as necessary.

The wand’s head is quite firm with minimal flexibility, causing uncomfortable pressure on my pubic area during sex. Additionally, the wand is heavy and corded, making it somewhat tiring to hold in place and maneuver around the cord. A smaller, rechargeable option like the Lovense Domi is much easier to handle and move.

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.

Even though the Lovehoney Plug-in wand is not extremely powerful, it is audible on every power level when I’m using it behind a closed bedroom door. You can turn on a box fan or music to mask the noise. But there are certainly more discreet options with greater power including the Magic Wand Rechargeable and the Viben Sultry.

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 Lovehoney Deluxe Plug-in Wand is compatible with a wide variety of wand attachments. Its head is close in size to the Magic Wand brand, so attachments designed for those wands also fit the Lovehoney wand.

You can find compatible attachments for many kinds of stimulation including penis, G-spot, anal, prostate, clitoral, and dual-stimulation. See our full wand attachment compatibility table for all wands and attachments we’ve tested.

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 using Liberator mounts for hands-free stimulation – the Axis and Wanda.

With the Axis, the wand’s head is large enough to reach my clit and provide good stimulation. However, the head is very firm, and there is a sharp ridge at the top of the handle, making it uncomfortable when I press my body more firmly against the head for additional pressure.

But when resting normally, the broad head provides a comfortable, diffuse surface. And the handle size keeps the wand held firmly in place in the mount.

The Wanda mount holds the wand in a mostly upright position, allowing you to kneel above it or rest on your hands and knees. The head is positioned at an ideal height for easy clitoral contact. Again, I wish the head were softer for better comfort. But as long as you don’t press too firmly, it remains comfortable.

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.

This wand is a plug-in wand, which comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. You’ll never reach for your wand and realize you forgot to charge it. It’s always ready to go. But you need to play near an outlet. Though the cord is 2.4 meters (~8 feet) long so there’s plenty of room. Some people will not enjoy having to position a cord out of their way – others aren’t bothered by it.

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 plastic handle of this wand feels well-constructed and sturdy. The neck has a good thickness to it, so I’m not ever worried I’ll break it if I apply firm pressure. 

The buttons are not quite as comfortable as other wands, and the firm silicone head does not feel as high-quality as the plush silicone of the Magic Wand Rechargeable and others. But overall, it’s a well-built wand.

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!
