The Lovehoney Mantric is best if you like the size, shape, and broad stimulation that wand vibrators provide, but you prefer mild to moderate vibration strength.

It starts out gentle and gradually builds power. The 5 intensity levels are enough that there are no large leaps and it covers a good range with both low and moderate power levels.

Though the Mantric wand’s full strength is less than half the power of my strongest wand vibrator (the Doxy Die Cast), it’s still more powerful than my non-wand vibrators like bullets, rabbits, and G-spot vibes.

I still orgasm easily with the Mantric wand. 

It’s just not engulfing me with sheer power as full-sized wand vibrators do. It fills a unique niche of having comparable power to smaller vibrators while providing a longer handle for easier maneuvering and a broader head to spread the vibrations. 

So if you enjoy mid-strength and want broader stimulation, the Mantric can be a good choice.

If you enjoy wands for their extreme power, the larger Magic Wand Plus has exceptional strength in a similar price range. Or for intense power in a compact size, the Lovense Domi 2 is one of my favorites. 

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.

A higher performance score in this category reflects a “more rumbly” wand – not necessarily a better or worse wand vibrator.

We rate more rumbly wands higher because a rumbly feel is what most people enjoy. However, the choice between buzzy or rumbly vibrations is a personal preference. And I actually really love a buzzy vibe from time to time.

The Mantric’s first two power levels are extremely rumbly. Then the next level is moderately rumbly. And its two highest powers are neutral – or a mix between rumbly and buzzy.

If you prefer deep rumbly vibrations, then the Mantric wand is probably not the best option for you. Since this is a mid-powered wand, you’ll likely use its highest powers often. And you won’t get that low-frequency, rumbly feel from its top levels.

The Lovense Domi is a similarly-sized wand that is much more rumbly (and stronger too). 90% of the Domi’s intensity levels fall within the “extremely rumbly” range.

If you prefer toys with a mixed feel – not too far on either the rumbly or buzzy side – you’ll enjoy the Mantric wand vibrator.

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 Mantric wand vibrator is one of the most comfortable and easy-to-use wands I own. 

The slim handle is very comfortable to hold. And the gentle curve helps you easily leverage the wand to press the vibes firmly to your body. 

The head has a smaller circumference, which is great for more direct/focused stimulation than you can get with larger wands. But you can still press the side of the Mantric’s head to your body for broader vibrations. 

The head is not squishy, but the neck has a slight flex to it, which makes it very comfortable without making it more difficult to apply pressure.

The main reason it does not score even higher is that I don’t love the Mantric’s buttons. 

To achieve a more sleek look, the three buttons are gently raised bumps along the silicone handle, almost blending in with the wand. I find this design makes it more difficult to press the buttons without looking, and I occasionally press them accidentally if I’m not conscious of my grip on the wand. 

More importantly, the middle button is not always responsive if I don’t apply the right pressure. Though once you get used to the feel, it’s not much of an issue.

If you want no distractions or a learning curve, I find the Magic Wand Mini is another comfortable alternative with a similar size and weight. But the buttons are a little easier to feel, and I don’t find myself pressing them by accident.

But the Magic Wand Mini is not waterproof or splashproof. So if that’s your goal, try the FemmeFun Ultra Wand or stick with the Mantric!

The Mantric wand is waterproof, so it’s easy to clean. And this also means you can take it into the tub or shower with you. 

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 is pretty convenient to use during sex. The smaller size and curved handle make it more easily maneuverable than larger wands.

I especially enjoy the Mantric in the spooning position. With the curved handle and open space spooning provides, I can easily leverage the Mantric and press the vibes to my vulva with excellent pressure.

And it works well in a modified missionary and cowgirl position too. The smaller circumference, but the reasonably tall height of the Mantric’s head allow you to fit the wand in tighter spaces and adjust how much surface area is in contact with your body. A definite advantage over big, full-sized wands like the Doxy Die Cast.

The only position I actually prefer a bigger wand than the Mantric is in Doggystyle. The main issue in this position is that you have to hold the toy up, and gravity is working against you. So I find taller wand vibrators are less tiring because I can rest the base of the handle on the bed to prop it up. 

Even so, the Mantric is lightweight enough that it’s reasonably easy to use in Doggystyle – I still rated it a 7.5.

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.

If you live with other people and need a quiet wand, the Mantric is an excellent choice. It’s one of the absolute quietest wand vibrators we tested even with its moderate power.

When we measured its noise with a sound level meter, it was one of the quietest wands on both low and high power. 

We also test whether my partner can hear the wand on the other side of our closed bedroom door. And he could not hear the Mantric wand on any of its power levels.

Whether loud sounds distract you or you live with others and need to remain discreet, the Mantric is an extremely quiet wand vibrator. 

If you value discretion but prefer the stronger vibrations of larger wand vibrators, the Viben Sultry can also be a good choice. It has excellent power and my partner could not hear it behind a closed door either.

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.

This Mantric wand has some compatibility with attachments, though much less than full-sized wand vibrators since most attachments are designed for large wands.

Of the 25 attachments I own, only 3 fit the Lovehoney Mantric wand: the Wand Essentials – Vibra Cup Penis Masturbator, Domi Male Attachment, and Domi Female Attachment.

However, these three attachments cover a broad range of stimulation. The Domi attachments alone can be used internally for G-spot or anal stimulation, to change the texture of clit stimulation, or for penis stimulation.

So your choices between attachments are more limited. But the compatible attachments still cover a decent variety.

If you value compatibility with a wide range of attachments, a full-sized wand would be best. The Magic Wand Plus, Magic Wand Rechargeable, and Doxy Die Cast all have excellent compatibility with attachments and perform well in other aspects too.

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 found the Mantric Wand very compatible with wand mounts for hands-free play. In fact, I rated it the second highest of all my wand vibrators! Outranked only by one of my personal favorites – the BMS PalmPower Extreme Ultrapowerful.

I use two different mounts – Liberator’s Axis and Wanda. The Axis is geared more toward couples’ play. And the Wanda is my favorite for solo play. Though both mounts can be used alone or with a partner.

The Mantric Wand is the perfect height for the Wanda – the Mantric’s head rests in the perfect position just outside the mount. And I can vary the stimulation by facing the Mantric’s curve toward the front or back of the mount.

I can also straddle the Mantric in the Wanda Mount with plenty of space for my partner to kneel behind me during sex.

The Mantric wand works great with the Axis mount too. It fits securely in the Axis’ wand slot. And the Mantric’s curve makes it hit my clit easily while lying on top of the Axis mount. 

The only wand I enjoy more in the Axis is the BMS PalmPower Extreme. This one also has a curve, but the head is larger. The bigger head allows me to get even more firm pressure. It’s also more powerful if you enjoy extreme vibration strength. 

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 Mantric Wand has a higher-than-average battery life. 

Running continuously on its highest power, it lasted over 2 hours in our testing. And in practical use, you can stretch this out longer by also using some of the lower and middle power levels during your play.

If you expect you’ll need more than 2 hours (or if you’re like me and love to fit several play-sessions between charges), then you may consider the Magic Wand Rechargeable, which lasts over 4 hours!

And of course, plug-in wands like the Magic Wand Plus and Doxy Die Cast never need to be charged.

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.

This wand feels sturdy and the silicone is high-quality. So it feels nice in the hand and I’m not worried about it breaking with firm pressure. I do find that the power button can sometimes not be responsive though, and I have to press several times to get it to work.

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.
