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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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.
