The Magic Wand Original is an extremely strong wand with only two power levels.

Even its lowest strength is much more powerful than any of my non-wand vibrators. It’s so strong, I typically only use the lowest setting. And even then, I prefer to use the Magic Wand Original over my clothes or underwear because of the intensity.

Its lowest strength pushes the boundaries of what I can handle when I’m not adequately warmed up – still enjoyably powerful, but any more strength would become overwhelming for me. I think many people will need softer levels to warm up.

While I enjoy the Magic Wand Original’s powerful vibrations, the body-safe Magic Wand Plus has some significant advantages over the Original.

The Plus has four power levels instead of the Original’s two settings – and these four levels cover a broader power range. They start softer than the Magic Wand Original which can prevent overstimulation early on. And it finishes even stronger than the Magic Wand Original.
At a comparable price, most people will enjoy the vibrations of the Magic Wand Plus more.

The Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In wand has an excellent top strength of 7.5 out of 10, but a sub-par power range.

Its top power levels feel extremely intense to me – I don’t personally need this much power and prefer to stick to the lower levels. But those who want intensity will enjoy its top settings.

The first setting’s 5.5 strength is already somewhat strong (though it is a bit gentler than the Le Wand Die Cast Rechargeable’s first setting). While I find it to be a comfortable starting level, it may be overwhelming if you need a very mild warmup.

With 10 power levels, steps between settings are comfortable. But it’s just a narrow range – you’ve got to only need moderate to intense stimulation.

If you need a wider power range, consider the Doxy Die Cast.

Because most people want a wand vibrator with deep, rumbly vibrations, we rate these higher than buzzy wands. But it’s definitely a personal preference.

The Magic Wand Original has buzzy vibrations on high power. But the lower level which I use most has neutral-feeling vibrations: neither rumbly nor buzzy.

Personally, I don’t need all my vibrators to be extremely rumbly. I actually really enjoy the Magic Wand Original’s neutral vibes. But, I think most people want something more rumbly overall. Or at least a wand with some rumbly settings to enjoy.

If that’s you, both the Magic Wand Plus and Magic Wand Rechargeable are more rumbly than the Original when they’re vibrating at comparable power. And both have extremely rumbly low levels.

They’ll be a better fit for most people. But the Magic Wand Original’s vibrations are good for those who enjoy vibrations between rumbly and buzzy.

We rate rumbly wands higher than buzzy wands since most people prefer rumbliness. However, it’s a personal preference, and some, including myself, enjoy buzzy vibrations.

The Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In wand is one of the most buzzy wands I own. It reaches a higher frequency than any comparably powerful wand I’ve tested.

This wand is great at targeting a precise area since buzzy vibes don’t spread out as far or travel as deep as rumbly vibrations. I enjoy the better surface-level stimulation they provide at this strength. However, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is a better choice if you prefer the kind of stimulation that travels deeper.

If you’re unsure exactly what you prefer, the Doxy Die Cast has rumbly vibrations on low, neutral at mid-strength, and buzzy vibrations on high. So you get a bit of everything.

The size of the Magic Wand Original makes it a little trickier to maneuver than some smaller wands like the Lovense Domi.

But with wands this powerful, I don’t need to maneuver them into a very precise spot. Or leverage them much for extra pressure. The strong, broad vibes easily stimulate the entire area. So maneuverability may not be as important to you.

Because the head is broad and the vibes are powerful, but not rumbly I feel the vibrations in my legs more than I’d like sometimes. This can occasionally become fatiguing. I don’t have this issue with smaller, more precise wands like the Lovense Domi 2. Or more rumbly full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Plus or Rechargeable.

Some of the Magic Wand Original’s vibes also travel into the handle. But it’s not too distracting to me.

I find the Original comfortable against my body, because the head is so plush. So it doesn’t bump uncomfortably against my pubic bone with heavy movement as some firm wands do.

I also really like the switch button. You can toggle between the top and low power. It’s intuitive and very easy to feel where the button is with your fingers – so you can easily control it without looking.

The Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In Vibrating Massager is comfortable and easy to use.

I don’t feel the vibrations in my hand at all – the aluminum alloy handle does an amazing job of dampening them. This wand’s heavy weight also applies excellent pressure naturally without much need for me to leverage it with my wrist or arm. Despite its weight, it’s still quick to maneuver since it’s relatively short and has a small head, which fits easily into tight spaces.

The head is very firm and attached with a slightly flexible neck, but I still find it comfortable to press firmly against me since I can limit contact to a softer body region. It’s easy to avoid bony spots where the firm head could bump against uncomfortably (this precise positioning is harder to accomplish with a large head).

Two separate buttons allow you to increase and decrease strength, and a third lets you cycle through the 19 vibration patterns. With all the settings on this wand, the three-button system makes it easy to get where you want quickly.

Turning the toy off and on will also reset it to its lowest power at a steady vibration – this offers a quick way to return to the constant vibration mode if you accidentally switch to a pattern. You don’t need to cycle through all the settings.

The buttons are also placed in a good spot on the wand. I don’t find myself accidentally pressing the buttons. But it’s easy to feel them without looking, so I’m not distracted when changing power levels.

I enjoy the Magic Wand Original in most sex positions, though not Doggystyle.

I think it works extremely well in Cowgirl. In this position, there’s plenty of open space, so the long handle does not get in the way. I move around a lot in this position, and I find many wands bump into my pubic bone uncomfortably. But the Magic Wand Original’s plush head provides cushioning to keep it comfy. Though I’ll note, the Magic Wand Plus’s and Rechargeable’s body-safe silicone heads are also plush and comfortable)

In Spooning and Modified Missionary positions, the Magic Wand Original is fairly easy to use. Though, in these positions my legs are usually somewhat closed. And I can’t fit the Original’s wide head as close to my clit as I can with a small wand like the Lovense Domi 2. But since the vibrations are so strong, I don’t need to position this wand precisely. So it’s not a deal-breaker for me, and I still enjoy it in both these positions.

I find it more difficult to use the Magic Wand Original in the Doggystyle position. With the rounded head, I need to angle the handle really low to fit the head on my clit how I enjoy it. But then the handle bumps into the bed. The Plus and Rechargeable have more squared-off heads that fit better for me. I don’t need to angle their handles so extremely to get clit stimulation in Doggystyle.

Overall, it’s still a decent option during sex, though I prefer the Plus and Rechargeable. Or if you want a powerful wand that’s extremely easy to maneuver during sex, consider the compact Lovense Domi 2.

The Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In wand is good during sex.

It’s best in positions where you’re holding the wand’s head down (like Modified Missionary or Cowgirl), so its weight naturally rests against your body. This provides good pressure against your vulva and doesn’t tire your arm. And the small head and mid-length handle fit more easily than full-sized  wands into the tight spaces during these face-to-face positions.

Since this wand is heavy, it’s more tiring in positions where you’re holding it up, like Spooning and Doggystyle. If you tire easily, you can prop the handle on a pillow to help support its weight. And you can get good contact with your clit either way. But if these positions are your priority, a lighter wand like the Lovense Domi 2 or BMS PalmPower Extreme is better.

Unfortunately, the Magic Wand Original is louder than most wands. I don’t find the sound distracting, but you’ll need to be conscious if you live with housemates.

If my partner stands on the other side of our closed bedroom door, he can hear it vibrating even on low power. When I turn on a box fan in the bedroom, my partner can no longer hear it on either setting. Playing music also drowns out the Original’s noise.

If low noise is important to you though, there are extremely powerful wands with more discreet low levels like the Magic Wand Plus and BMS PalmPower Extreme. Their softer settings are still powerful enough for me to orgasm while remaining more discreet.

The Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In wand is loud.

When I used this in the bedroom, my partner heard it on all power levels from the other side of our closed door. He did note that he could barely hear the lower settings, and thought no one would hear unless they were actively listening for the sound. The middle and upper settings were easily audible. The only way we could mask the sound of the top settings was to play music in the bedroom.

The sound itself isn’t annoying or distracting – it’s a very clean sound. But there are better options like the We-Vibe Wand 2 if you have housemates.

Alongside other full-sized wands, the Magic Wand Original has the broadest range of compatibility with wand attachments.

Since Magic Wand is the most famous massager brand, many attachments are designed specifically for the Magic Wand Original, Plus, and Rechargeable. Though the Original’s head is slightly shorter than the Plus or Rechargeable, I’ve found all three wands are compatible with the same attachments.

You can find a compatible attachment for pretty much any kind of stimulation – G-spot, anal, prostate, penis, clitoral texture, dual-stimulation. You name it, you can likely find an attachment for it.

I also want to reiterate that the Magic Wand Original’s head is porous and cannot be sanitized. So if you go with this wand, you’ll want to get a body-safe silicone cap attachment like the Pleasure Works Pop Top. This is one of the reasons I recommend most people go with the Magic Wand Plus instead.

The Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In has okay compatibility with attachments but is not as good as full-sized wands.

The Le Wand Petite attachments and a few others work well with it. The stimulation variety in this mix was good, but a larger head like the Doxy Die Cast’s will have more compatible attachments.

For a list of the attachments we’ve tested for compatibility with the Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In, see our wand attachment compatibility table here.

I test my wands with my two Liberator mounts for hands-free stimulation: the Wanda and Axis. The Magic Wand Original works well with the Axis and is average with the Wanda.

The Axis is best if you lie on your stomach, while the mount holds your wand horizontally at a slight upward angle between your legs.

The Magic Wand Original’s handle is a good thickness for a secure fit in the mount. I usually prefer curved wands in this mount so their head is angled up closer to my clit. But even though Magic Wand Original’s handle is straight, its head is large enough that the wand maintains excellent contact with my clit. I can also easily shift my weight down harder onto the Magic Wand’s head for firmer pressure when I want.

The Magic Wand Original is average when used with the Wanda. This mount holds the wand nearly upright. You can typically straddle the wand on your knees or bend all the way forward on your elbows and knees (in a sort of Doggystyle position).

With shorter wands, the head sits just past the fabric. So when straddling a short wand, I can lower my weight onto the wand’s head for good pressure and stimulation. But the Magic Wand Original sticks out too far to easily straddle it.

The only way I can get comfortable clit stimulation is to get on my elbows and knees. So it’s a bit more limited, but this position still provides a good way to get hands-free clit stimulation. And on my elbows and knees, there’s plenty of room to have sex with my partner from behind while the Magic Wand Original is in the Wanda.

With a lot of movement, the Wanda’s fabric will occasionally toggle the power button which can be annoying. I haven’t experienced this issue with other wands, since the Magic Wand Original is the only one I have with an old-fashioned toggle switch.

If you want the best hands-free experience, the BMS PalmPower Extreme is excellent with both mounts. Its medium length is better with the Wanda. And its angled head is perfect in the Axis. It’s easily my favorite wand to use hands-free with mounts!

I test my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play. The Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In works decently with both.

You’re more limited in the Axis mount because of this wand’s small head size. The small head doesn’t naturally reach your clit as much. It applies some light pressure but not to the extent that a full-sized head or angled head does in this mount. You may need to situate your body more intentionally to keep the head in consistent contact with your clit.

It works better in the Wanda mount. You can sit directly on the mount for hands-free stimulation or kneel above it during sex. The shorter handle means I have to sink down a little lower than usual to keep consistent contact with my clit, but it’s still enjoyable. If you need to, you can also place a pillow under the mount to position the wand’s head higher.

The Magic Wand Original is a plug-in wand, so battery life is not applicable. Corded wands have their own set of advantages and disadvantages.

A plug-in wand like the Magic Wand Original is always ready to go. You’ll never reach for it only to realize you forgot to charge the battery. But you have to play near an outlet (though the Magic Wand Original’s cord is 6 feet long so you have plenty of room). Some people also find a cord mildly annoying to work around.

If you find cordless wands more convenient consider the Magic Wand Rechargeable or BMS PalmPower Extreme (which is a bit more powerful too).

The Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In wand is corded. You’ll need to play near an outlet, but you don’t even need to worry about charging it.

The cord is 8 feet long and comes with 4 adapters for US, UK, EU, and AUS outlets.

Unfortunately, the Magic Wand Original has a porous vinyl head. Porous materials can harbor bacteria and cannot be fully sanitized. To make this wand body-safe, you can purchase a $20 silicone cap to cover the wand’s head. You can remove this cap and wash it between uses.

When you factor in the cost of the cap, it’s cheaper to just purchase the fully body-safe Magic Wand Plus.

Other than this, the Magic Wand Original is high-quality. The hard plastic handle and toggle button feel solid and built to last. And the head has a nice plush feel, which adds to the comfort – though the body-safe silicone of the Magic Wand Plus and Rechargeable are also soft and comfy.

The Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In Vibrating Massager has excellent build quality.

Its heavy aluminum-alloy handle feels solid, durable, and well-built. The neck is slightly flexible and not flimsy at all – I’m not afraid to apply firm pressure. The smooth head has tight seams rounded off for a comfortable contoured shape. The head is firm with a silicone coating and seems solid, but maybe not as luxurious as a plush silicone head.
