The Magic Wand Plus is my second-most powerful wand, reaching a 9 out of 10 on its top level. Only the Doxy Die Cast reaches a higher strength than the Magic Wand Plus. But the Doxy is more than double the cost, and it’s buzzier.

Priced under $100, the Magic Wand Plus is the most budget-friendly option for people who want immense power. It’s just as strong as the much pricier Magic Wand Waterproof, making it a better value for most people.

Its 4 power levels also provide a broad range of intensities. It has softer levels as a warmup or for people who don’t need extreme strength. I rate the lowest power at 1.9 out of 10 and the second level at 6.1 out of 10.

Personally, I rarely use the third or fourth settings because the first two are enough for me – I can orgasm from either level. I think many people will be happy with just these. And if you venture into the upper settings, you may want to try them over your clothes – they are intense! Even on the second power, I often use the Magic Wand Plus over my underwear.

The Doxy Die Cast R has an exceptional top vibration strength, but a poor power range.

It’s tied with the BMS Palmpower Extreme and Magic Wand Waterproof as my most powerful rechargeable wand, and its intensity is second only to the corded Doxy Die Cast. But all the vibrations feel strong or extreme – there are no gentle or moderate starting powers to use as a warmup. If you’re sensitive to overstimulation, you’ll probably need to use another vibrator first or consider a wand with a broader power range, like the PalmPower Extreme and even the corded Doxy Die Cast.

As someone who prefers moderate stimulation, I find the Doxy Die Cast R’s first setting decently comfortable without a prior warmup – but only if I press it very firmly against my body. Doing so slows down the motor and makes it feel less intense. And when I use the Doxy Die Cast R, I never make it past the first setting because I don’t need any more strength.

But it’s excellent for anyone who exclusively needs enormous power. The very first setting with a 7.33 out of 10 strength will meet you at the intensity you want, without having to tap through lower power levels first. And its top strength of 9 out of 10 will be more than enough for the average user. Only the corded Doxy Die Cast is stronger, but it’s hardly a noticeable amount.

Because most people prefer rumbly wands, we rate these higher than buzzy wands.

The Magic Wand Plus’s first two power levels are extremely rumbly. These low-frequency vibrations feel deep and impactful. And since the wand is so powerful, many people will primarily use these lower two levels.

Power level 2 packs excellent strength, while remaining deep and low-frequency. This rumbly quality of the vibrations prevents them from feeling overwhelming, ticklish, or numbing. That second setting is my favorite, and it’s the one I orgasm with most frequently.

The third level feels neutral – neither rumbly nor buzzy.

Only the highest power (9.0 out of 10) begins to feel buzzy. No wand I’ve tested yet has remained rumbly when its power increases beyond 8.0 out of 10. The BMS PalmPower Extreme is the only wand with comparable strength that stays in the neutral range on its top power – but the difference is minimal.

Most people will be happy with the Magic Wand Plus’s balance between extreme strength and rumbliness.

We rate rumbly wands higher than buzzy wands since most people prefer this. However, it’s up to your personal preference.

The Doxy Die Cast R is a buzzy wand vibrator, so it’s best if you enjoy vibrations that target more at the surface. None of the settings feel rumbly. The gentlest setting has a neutral feel, and everything stronger is moderately to extremely buzzy.

While the corded Doxy Die Cast is comparably buzzy on its upper settings, its lowest two settings are rumbly. So it provides a more versatile experience than the rechargeable. If you want some rumbly settings too, I’d consider the corded Die Cast or the BMS PalmPower Extreme.

One unique aspect I’ve found is that the Doxy Die Cast R’s motor slows down quite a bit if I press the head firmly against my body. By slowing the vibrations down, they approach a more rumbly feeling. I personally enjoy how I can alter the intensity and rumbliness by varying the pressure I apply. If you don’t necessarily need rumbly settings but still enjoy them, you may like experimenting with the Die Cast R’s pressure to find something that feels great to you.

Others will prefer something steadier regardless of the pressure applied. While the corded Doxy Die Cast’s motor is also slightly affected by how hard you press, it’s a much less noticeable effect than with the rechargeable version.

The Magic Wand Plus is a great fit for those who want a comfortable full-sized wand. It has a wide, tall head, which diffuses the intense power comfortably over a broad area.

Full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Plus are more difficult to maneuver quickly or fit into tight spaces than compact wands like the Lovense Domi or Magic Wand Mini. But because this wand has such powerful, deep vibrations I don’t need to position it with precision. The Magic Wand Plus’s rumbly vibes impact the entire vicinity around the head!

I also love how plush the head is!

It’s firm enough that I can still apply substantial pressure, but soft enough that it’s completely comfortable against my body. It doesn’t bump uncomfortably into my pubic bone as really firm wands like the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman do.

When the Magic Wand Plus is on its lowest power, you can feel the vibrations in your hands. But they’re so rumbly that it doesn’t feel uncomfortable or distracting. And it does a great job of dampening the handle vibrations on higher powers.

The Magic Wand Plus is not waterproof, so it’s best to wash down the head with a warm, soapy cloth. But since there are no tricky grooves on the head, it’s still easy to clean. There is a waterproof version, the Magic Wand Waterproof, but it’s much more expensive, so the Plus is a better value unless you really value waterproof play.

The Plus’s silicone buttons are comfortable and easy to press without moving my hands. But most importantly, there are separate buttons to increase or decrease the power. Some wands make you cycle through intensity levels with a single button. When toys have this much power, I like to be able to step back down easily.

The Doxy Die Cast R is comfortable and easy to use for a heavy, full-sized wand.

This wand’s substantial weight both positively and negatively affects the wand’s comfort. Anytime you use it with the wand’s head pointed down (like on your back), the heavy weight adds excellent natural downward pressure. So you don’t have to leverage the wand with your arm or wrist much. But this also makes it slower to maneuver and can be tiring when you’re holding the wand up – which happens more frequently during sex than solo use.

The large, round head provides a really broad, comfortable surface area in contact with your body. Though it’s trickier to limit contact to a precise area than with a smaller head. The head’s silicone is slightly plush, which feels comfy and luxurious. And the neck has a bit of flexibility, which keeps it comfortable when applying firm pressure.

The handle is a comfortable size to wrap my hand around, and its cast aluminum construction does an excellent job of preventing much vibration in the handle itself – keeping them focused at the head. I typically hold the wand close to the head because the weight distribution is best there. With that grip, my fingers aren’t near the buttons, so I don’t accidentally press them. Though I need to adjust my grip to change the setting, but I don’t find it distracting.

The controls are simple to use and get you to your preferred setting quickly, with separate buttons to increase or decrease the power. You can turn on the pulsing setting by pressing and holding the power button. The two “+” and “-” buttons also allow you to adjust the speed (not intensity) of the pulses.

The Magic Wand Plus is one of my favorite full-sized wands to use during sex – though I also enjoy the cordless convenience of the (slightly less powerful) Magic Wand Rechargeable.

I particularly enjoy the Plus in the spooning position and a modified missionary position (lying on my back with my partner kneeling).

The full length of the wand has the space it needs for me to angle and leverage the handle in these positions – I like to really push my vibes deeper (which is why I need a sturdy wand). And the plush head maintains comfortable, easy, consistent contact with my clit.

I move a lot more in Cowgirl, so I notice the weight and bulk of the Magic Wand Plus more in this position. The size is a little harder to control with more movement (especially compared to small wands like the Magic Wand Mini or Lovense Domi), but it’s still manageable. Plus, the sheer strength the Magic Wand Plus cranks out means you don’t need to position the wand in a precise spot to feel its effects.

Doggystyle is the trickiest position for the Magic Wand Plus because you’re working against gravity to hold the wand up between your legs. But I’ve found that I can place the base of the handle on the bed to support some of the weight and give my arm a rest (though this works even better with the Rechargeable since the base doesn’t have a cord in the way).

Overall, it’s a great option during sex – especially for those who want the immense power of a full-sized wand.

The Doxy Die Cast R is good to use during sex.

It’s best in positions where you’re not facing your partner because there’s plenty of space in front of you to maneuver the handle without it bumping into your partner. So you can easily position the Die Cast R wherever you need it.

The broad head keeps the wand in consistent contact with your clit and distributes the pressure evenly so the vibrations travel well. In Spooning and Doggystyle positions, the handle is long enough to rest against the bed to help prop the wand at a good angle. So your arm doesn’t get tired despite the substantial weight.

When you’re facing your partner, you have to get a little more creative with your body’s positioning – possibly leaning back to open up more area for the large head to fit closer to your clit. Thankfully, the vibrations are powerful enough that they are impactful, even if the head is nearby instead directly in contact with your clit. Because the head is so large, it can get pressed into your body with a lot of heavy movement, which can be a bit uncomfortable at times but is not a major issue.

But if face-to-face positions are a priority, a wand with a smaller or angled head, like the BMS PalmPower Extreme, is better.

To test a wand’s discretion, I use the wand in our bedroom while my partner stands directly on the other side of the door to see whether he can hear it.

The Magic Wand Plus is not audible behind a closed door on its lowest power level. But with no other sounds in our house, he can hear the top three settings. In fact, all three of my strongest wands are only inaudible at their low levels.

We also test whether turning on a box fan or music in the bedroom drowns out each wand’s noise. Either option successfully masked all the Magic Wand Plus’s power levels.

So if you have housemates, you’ll want to grab a box fan or turn up some jams.

The Doxy Die Cast R is quite loud.

When we tested whether my partner could hear it from behind our closed bedroom door, he heard every setting. Even after I turned on a box fan in the bedroom my partner still heard the Doxy Die Cast R’s top setting – although he noted that then he could only hear it when I moved the wand around, and he said he’d definitely have to actively listen for the sound to notice it.

Playing music in the bedroom successfully prevented him from hearing the wand on any setting.
If you have housemates and/or discretion is important, the Magic Wand Plus is a comparably powerful wand that was inaudible at least on the lowest power setting. And both a fan and music mask the noise.

Because Magic Wand is the most well-known wand massager brand, the majority of wand attachments are designed for the Magic Wand Plus. So this wand (and others close in size) have the greatest compatibility.

You can find a compatible attachment for a broad variety of stimulation – penis, clitoral, G-spot, anal, prostate, and dual-stimulation. For more specifics, you can check our wand attachment compatibility table here.

The Doxy Die Cast R has fantastic compatibility with wand attachments.

Most attachments are made for full-sized heads like this one. In my collection, I found many that fit, providing a wide variety of stimulation types. You should have no trouble finding plenty of options.
To see all the attachments I’ve tested with this wand and others, see our wand attachment compatibility table here.

I test my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free stimulation.

The Magic Wand Plus is excellent in the Axis mount. I insert the wand and lie on my stomach over the top of the wedge. The Axis holds the wand out at a slight upward angle between my legs. I can just rest lying on the mount and enjoy a hands-free orgasm. Or my partner can easily enter from behind.

When placed in the Axis, the Magic Wand Plus’s tall, broad head maintains much better contact and pressure with my clit than narrower wands. And the squishy texture keeps the wand comfy – the extra comfort is helpful since you don’t have as fine-tuned control over positioning the head when using it hands-free. And since the Plus’s vibrations are extremely powerful, you get excellent clit stimulation without needing to position the wand in a precise spot.

The Wanda holds the Magic Wand Plus in a nearly upright position. You can rest on your elbows and knees (in a sort of Doggystyle position) and get hands-free stimulation solo or during sex.

Again, the wide, plush head provides a comfortable, broad surface to lean your weight on. And with taller wands like this, you don’t have to spread your legs as wide to keep your clit in contact with the wand’s head. So it’s comfortable to hold this position longer.

Some shorter wands also allow you to straddle and sit on the mount, leaning backward or forward into the vibrations for stimulation. The Magic Wand Plus is too tall to straddle like this, but it performs really well in the Doggystyle position.

We test our wands for hands-free stimulation using the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts.

The Doxy Die Cast R works wonderfully with both mounts.

In the Liberator Axis, the large, round head provides plenty of surface area to press against comfortably. At 2.5 inches, its head is wider than most, which helps it reach your clit more easily than most straight wands. The strong vibrations travel well to provide great stimulation hands-free. The handle stays securely wedged in the mount.

In the Liberator Wanda, you can kneel above the mount for hands-free stimulation solo or with penetration from behind. The head sticks up quite a bit past the fabric, so you can’t sit directly on the mount as you can with some short wand vibrators. But it provides excellent stimulation when kneeling over it. The broad, tall head is great at distributing pressure evenly so you can comfortably lean against it.

The Magic Wand Plus is a plug-in wand (most of the strongest ones are). So you don’t have to worry about running out of battery, but you’ll need to play near an outlet. The Plus’s cord is 6 feet long though, so it’s not very restrictive.

You can also remove the Magic Wand Plus’s cord which makes storing it easier – this is the only plug-in wand I have with this feature. As someone who loves organization, I find this really convenient. If you prefer a rechargeable wand, the Rechargeable and Waterproof versions are cord-free, but pricier.

The Doxy Die Cast R is rechargeable and has a decent battery life, lasting for 75 minutes on its highest power in our test. Considering this wand’s enormous strength, that’s a reasonable battery life.

There is an automatic shutoff after 20 minutes of continuous use, but you can turn it back on immediately. You cannot use the Doxy Die Cast R while it’s charging (very few wands allow that – the Magic Wand Rechargeable is one that does).

The Magic Wand Plus is made from quality materials and feels built to last. The older Magic Wand Original had a porous head that could not be sanitized. But the upgraded Magic Wand Plus has a body-safe, silicone head. The silicone is plush and extremely comfortable. And the Magic Wand Plus’s hard plastic handle feels sturdy and durable.

The neck is slightly flexible, but solid. I can comfortably apply firm pressure without feeling like I may damage the wand. The silicone buttons are positioned well along the handle and are always responsive.

The Doxy Die Cast R has great build quality.

The cast aluminum handle feels very sturdy, and the slightly flexible neck feels strong, so I’m not afraid to apply pressure. The silicone head is slightly plush, which feels comfortable and high-quality. It feels well-made and luxurious.

The motor does have a slight waver at times, where it will dip or raise by 1 or 2 Hz. I can hear the waver (listen below), but it doesn’t impact my experience – I can’t feel this slight difference.

I want to note that when we purchased the Doxy Die Cast R, the first one we received arrived with a defect. It would shut off randomly despite having a full charge, and the power would dip substantially. These issues were noticeable immediately upon using the toy (not something that developed over time). We believe something likely happened during shipping.

We contacted Doxy support right away, and they replaced it quickly. We had to send a video showing and explaining our issue and then cut the charging cable. They sent a new product within 3 business days of our initial email. And our new product has worked great.

Our rating for build quality is based on the undamaged wand we received. Doxy also has a 2-year warranty when you register your wand for free on their site.
