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 Le Wand Plug-In has a good top strength of 6.7 out of 10 on our scale—but its power range is limited. All 10 levels fall in a moderate-to-strong range and are close together. There are no gentle warmup levels or extremely powerful settings that many full-sized wands have.

This could work if you only want moderate to strong settings. But for anyone who wants more nuance—a gradual build or extreme strength—it falls short. For example, the Magic Wand Plus starts gentler and ends stronger, with 34% more strength. The BMS PalmPower Extreme also offers gradual adjustability from very soft to extremely intense.

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 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.

The Le Wand Plug-In has average rumbliness – the first several settings provide rumbly vibrations at a moderate strength. Settings on the higher end feel neutral or buzzy. This covers a wide range of frequencies and can be good, especially if you want rumbly, neutral, and buzzy settings.

However, in this price range, there are better wands that span similar frequency ranges to the Le Wand Plug-In. For instance, the Magic Wand Plus and PalmPower Extreme cover a similar range with more power and better overall performance.

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 Le Wand Plug-In is easy to use and has average comfort for a large wand.

You can easily reach the exact setting you want because of the excellent controls. You can increase and decrease strength, and adjust the intensity of each vibration pattern, too.

The thick, heavy handle can be tiring to hold and slower to maneuver. I find it easier to use two hands most of the time. While it’s not as nimble to move around, the weight adds excellent natural pressure. The head is pretty comfortable for how large and firm it is. It’s best if you prefer broad contact and tend to keep your wand in the same place. It’s not for you if you like more precise contact and want something smaller to move around more easily, like the Le Wand Dive.

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.

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 Le Wand Plug-In is sub-par during sex, mainly due to its large size, heavy weight, and firm, full-sized head.

In spooning, the wand’s bulk makes it tiring to hold. It’s best to shift your top leg back so that the vibrations don’t fatigue your leg.

In doggystyle, you can rest the base of the handle on the bed to help support the weight. But getting the bulky rounded head to hit where I want is tough. I have trouble getting good contact in modified missionary, too. In cowgirl, you’ll likely need to lean back to provide enough space for the wand to stimulate well. It’s heavy, so I prefer to let the weight rest against me.

The vibrations travel pretty well, but wands with smaller heads like the PalmPower Extreme or Le Wand Dive are better if direct, consistent contact is important.

If your partner moves aggressively in any of these positions, the firm head can also press into you uncomfortably, in which case the Magic Wand Plus’s plush head is better.

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 Le Wand Plug-In is not discreet. When we tested it, my partner could hear it on every setting from behind our closed bedroom door.

It’s so big that it’s hard to prevent it from hitting the covers, which makes extra sound. And without the covers, there’s no dampening of the sound. You can mask the noise with a box fan or music. But if you want something more discreet, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is both stronger and quieter.

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 Le Wand Plug-In has fantastic compatibility with attachments. Most attachments are designed for full-sized heads like this, so you have a ton of variety. Le Wand also makes several of their own attachments specifically designed for this wand. See our wand attachment compatibility table here for the full list of attachments that fit this 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.

We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Le Wand Plug-In works well with both.

The Axis holds your wand at an angle while you lie across the mount on your stomach. The Le Wand Plug-In provides great pressure and contact in this mount since the head is so big – it reaches your clit easily and provides lots of comfortable surface area to press against.

The Wanda holds the wand up while you straddle the mount on your knees. Some smaller wands allow you to sit directly on top of the mount, but the Le Wand Plug-In is too tall for this. Instead, you’ll need to kneel above it for hands-free solo play or with a partner behind you. The broad head is very comfortable to press against for even pressure and consistent contact.

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 Le Wand Plug-In is corded, so you’ll need to play near an outlet, but you don’t have to worry about charging it between uses.

The power cord is 8 feet long, giving you some flexibility, and comes with 4 adapters for US, AUS, EU, and UK outlets.

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 Le Wand Plug-In has good build quality.

The plastic handle feels well-constructed and sturdy (not somewhat thin like the Le Wand Petite’s). The neck is thick, and I’m not worried about applying firm pressure. The buttons and firm head aren’t quite as comfortable as the competing Magic Wands‘ plush heads. But overall, it seems sturdy.
