O-Wand vs Dame Com Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The O-wand is one of my most expensive wands, but nothing about it justifies the high price tag. For the most part, it has just average performance. Good, but not exceptional power. Nor is it especially rumbly.
The O-wand’s meant to be ergonomic, but I find it bulky and uncomfortable to use solo, and even more so during sex. It’s also somewhat loud, and it’s not compatible with any of my mounts that I enjoy using for hands-free stimulation.
Overall, there are many less expensive wands with better performance than the O-wand. If you were intrigued by the O-wand’s shape, consider the BMS PalmPower Extreme. It has an angled head that I actually found comfortable and helpful. And its vibrations are far superior. The Magic Wand Rechargeable is another wand with excellent performance and a lower price tag.
The Dame Com is a good option if you enjoy the broad stimulation wands provide, but prefer milder, rumbly vibrations over the immense power many full-sized wands pack.
Unlike many extremely powerful large wands, the Dame Com’s highest setting is only minimally stronger than non-wand vibrators like rabbits or G-spot vibrators. It has plenty of gentle levels for warming up. Though its vibrations aren’t overwhelmingly powerful, it’s one of our most rumbly wands. Every setting is deep and rumbly which can prevent overstimulation or numbing.
It has a unique handle shape that may be hit or miss based on your preferences. The curved shape helps me leverage the wand, but I find gripping it awkward personally. I end up holding it near the head and I feel the vibrations in my hand. It is one of my favorite wands to use hands-free with my Liberator wand mounts though. The curved handle positions the head right near my clit for excellent stimulation.
For those overstimulated by extreme power, the Dame Com is a great choice. If you’re looking for the overwhelming strength typically associated with a wand, consider other options like the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Magic Wand Plus.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The O-wand has a good power range, starting off gentle (1.9 of 10 vibration strength) and working through four levels to a top power of 7.3. Its top strength is extremely powerful and substantially stronger than any non-wand vibrator I own.
The first gentle setting provides a good warm up, and I often finish on the second power. I usually don’t need to use the third or fourth levels as the first two are powerful enough.
But while the O-wand’s power is good, there’s no reason to pay this much for it. Several cheaper wands have an even better power range including the Magic Wand Plus, Magic Wand Rechargeable, and BMS PalmPower Extreme.
The Dame Com’s vibration power is relatively mild for a mid-sized wand, though it’s certainly much stronger than their bullet vibrator, the Dame Zee. The Com’s top strength is only slightly greater than mid-sized non-wand vibrators like the Lelo Mona 2 or Lovense Hyphy. But since the head is larger, the vibrations are more diffuse, which can make them feel even milder.
Starting at 1.1 out of 10 and gradually increasing through five levels up to 4.67 out of 10, the Dame Com is best for those sensitive to intense power or abrupt jumps between settings. This moderate stimulation offers an alternative for those who enjoy the broad, diffuse stimulation wands provide, but don’t enjoy the overwhelming power of other wands.
If you’d rather have extreme strength, consider the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Magic Wand Plus. For those content with the strength of their non-wand vibrators, the Dame Com is a great option.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
Most people prefer rumbly vibrations, so we rate these wands higher. But your preferences may vary, so consider what you enjoy.
The O-wand begins extremely rumbly on its lowest power. But every level after feels neutral or buzzy. If you are one of the folks who enjoy buzzy vibrations, then you may really enjoy this! The O-wand’s not so buzzy that it’s overwhelming, but I still prefer wands with deeper vibrations.
If you usually prefer rumbly wands, you’ll be better off considering the comparably powerful, but more rumbly Magic Wand Rechargeable or BMS PalmPower Extreme.
Most people prefer rumbly vibrations, so we rate rumbly wands higher than buzzy wands.
The Dame Com delivers exceptionally rumbly vibrations at all power levels, staying below 60 Hz on high – a feat few wands accomplish. And it’s more rumbly than the Dame Pom (the brand’s palm vibrator that’s also designed for broad stimulation) and the Dame Min (the mini version of the Com).
The Dame Com’s deep, low-frequency vibrations help keep it from feeling overstimulating or numbing. Its rumbliness is part of what makes it great for those who like broad but milder stimulation.
If you’d rather have extremely rumbly vibrations with more power, also consider the Lovense Domi 2 or the Orion Grande Wand. But for an extremely rumbly mid-powered wand, the Dame Com is the best.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The O-wand is one of the largest, heaviest wand massagers which makes it more difficult to maneuver than others.
And I think the handle shape compounds this difficulty. The O-wand has a looped handle, intended to make holding the wand more comfortable. And while the unique shape of some wands like the PalmPower Extreme actually helps, I find the O-wand’s looped handle awkward. It makes the handle too wide, and I can’t find a comfortable spot to grip and leverage the O-Wand.
The looped handle could be a personal preference. And perhaps with more use, I might adapt to it. But the O-wand just isn’t one of my favorite wands, so I don’t reach for it.
The larger head is quite firm, which is great for applying pressure. But it would be more comfortable if it were plusher. Its wide surface is best for broad stimulation over focused.
The buttons on this wand are fairly easy to press, but you have to cycle through the vibration powers. I prefer wands that let decrease the power level instead of looping through all the higher settings first. But since there are only 4 powers on this, it isn’t too problematic.
The vibration patterns are controlled with a separate button from the intensity levels. I appreciate this because I don’t often use patterns. So when looping through settings to get back to a softer power, I don’t have to pass through a flurry of random patterns taking me out of the mood.
The Dame Com has a uniquely curved handle with a wave-like design, varying in thickness throughout. This shape helps me apply firmer pressure but can require adjustment depending on your personal grip preferences. I find its shape more awkward than helpful, though it’s not a huge deal.
I find gripping this wand close to the head most natural, but this causes vibrations in my hand, which can be distracting. Holding it farther away minimizes this effect, but you’ll need to experiment to find a comfy grip. The smooth silicone material feels luxurious and comfortable though.
The head is firmer than I typically prefer. But the slightly flexible neck keeps the pressure comfortable. And the semi-rigid design helps leverage the wand better.
The buttons are located near the base of the handle, which keeps them from interfering with my grip, but I do need to adjust my hold to press them. The controls are excellent with separate buttons to increase and decrease power, and a third to cycle through patterns. You can also change the intensity of the vibration patterns which many wands do not allow.
And the Dame Com is fully waterproof, so it’s really easy to clean.
Use During Sex
The O-wand is going to be a struggle for most people during sex due to its size and weight. It takes up a lot of room and gets tiring to hold – especially since the handle makes it more awkward to grip.
I have the most success in Cowgirl and Spooning positions. In Cowgirl, the long handle has more room to move around without getting in the way. And the round head has a very slight taper, which can squeeze into slightly tighter spots in those positions.
While Spooning I’ve found that I can rest the handle against the bed to support the O-wand’s weight. So it helps a bit with the heaviness issue.
I find Doggystyle very difficult with the O-wand. I want to rest the bottom of the handle against the bed, but the curved handle makes this difficult. So I have a hard time getting the head to maintain good clitoral contact – my arm gets very tired trying to keep the O-wand’s head pressed to my clit.
The Dame Com is one of the easiest wands to use during sex. Its mid-sized head can still fit into fairly tight places, but still gives the broad stimulation of a larger wand. And I appreciate its handle shape more during sex. The curve helps leverage the wand for firm pressure, even in more limited space.
I don’t need to change my body positioning to fit its mid-sized head near my clit as I do with larger wands which sometimes require me to lean back in Cowgirl or angle my leg out while Spooning to create more space for the wand.
The handle’s length and curve also make finding the right angle in Doggystyle easy.
In Modified Missionary, I feel the vibrations in my hand more since I grip it close to the head – the groove between the handle and head is a useful finger-hold for support. But if you want to limit those vibrations, you can shift your grip lower.
Noise
The O-wand body massager is fairly noisy. When we tested whether my partner could hear it from the other side of a closed door – he heard the O-wand on every power level.
You can mask its sound by turning on a box fan or playing music. This made it so that my partner couldn’t hear it even on high. So you can still use it discreetly if you take some extra precautions.
But there are comparably powerful, quieter wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable and Viben Sultry among others.
For a mid-powered wand, the Dame Com isn’t that quiet. Its decibel levels are low – however, it can make a louder rattling sound when it’s not pressed against your body making it more noticeable (you can hear this in the video above).
Because I’ve read reviews touting the Dame Com as the quietest wand vibrator, I actually bought a second Com to see if the rattling sound was just a fluke. But both wands made this sound when not pressed to my body.
During our testing, its lower levels were completely inaudible from the other side of a closed bedroom door, but my partner heard its middle and upper levels.
Turning on a box fan or playing music successfully masked the Dame Com’s noise on all power levels. So you can still use the Com if you live with others. You’ll just need to mask the noise with a fan.
But if low noise is a top priority, there are better alternatives like the We-Vibe Wand 2, which offers more power and remains inaudible at every level.
Attachment Compatibility
The O-wand has good compatibility with wand attachments. It comes with its own attachment that adds some texture for clit stimulation. And since it’s a full-sized wand most attachments designed for the Magic Wand brand fit the O-wand.
However, the O-wand’s head has a slightly tapered shape to it, which causes a few attachments to fit loosely. They’re still useable, but not a perfect fit. But overall you’ll be able to find something enjoyable. There are compatible attachments for a broad variety of stimulation.
Below are the attachments we’ve tested and found compatible with the O-wand.
The Dame Com has fair compatibility with wand attachments. Its head is mid-sized, so it’s not compatible with the majority of attachments designed for full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable. But some attachments designed for other brands’ comparable wands also fit the Dame Com.
Lovense Domi’s attachments fit – offering penis, clit, G-spot, anal, and prostate stimulation. Attachments designed for the Le Wand Petite and PalmPower Extreme also fit the Dame Com. So you have some variety available, though your overall selection is more limited than full-sized wands.
See our wand attachment compatibility table for all the attachments we’ve tested for compatibility with our wands.
Mount Compatibility
I test each of my wands with Liberator’s mounts for hands-free stimulation (something I really enjoy).
Unfortunately, the O-wand body massager is not compatible with either mount. The large, looped handle prevents it from fitting into each mount’s slot designed to hold a wand vibrator.
My favorite for mount use is the BMS PalmPower Extreme.
I test all my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts, and the Dame Com is one of my favorite hands-free wands.
Using the Axis mount, I lie on my stomach, and the mount holds the wand slightly upward between my legs. The Com’s mid-sized head comfortably disperses the vibrations, but they’re still somewhat direct (which I need more when playing hands-free). The curved handle positions the head closer to my clit than straight wands, for better contact and firmer pressure.
Because its vibrations are extremely rumbly I can enjoy them longer before I orgasm, without feeling overstimulated. This makes the Dame Com and Axis Mount a great combo to use during sex.
This wand also does well with the Wanda mount. This mount holds the wand upright, and you can straddle the mount on your knees. Leaning forward or backward varies the pressure and gives you control over the stimulation. You can also sit directly on the mount and receive stimulation if you situate the wand deeper into the mount’s slot.
Battery Life
The O-wand is rechargeable and can last about 215 minutes continuously vibrating on its highest power. This is longer than average, but there are others that match it.
The Dame Come’s battery lasted 75 minutes continuously vibrating on high during our testing. This is near the average rechargeable wand performance and is likely enough for most people.
But if you tend to forget to charge your wand, there are longer-lasting options like the Magic Wand Mini (210 minutes).
Build Quality
The O-wand has a sturdy construction and feels well-made. The handle is durable and the head can take firm pressure without feeling strained at all.
The buttons feel slightly cheap, but overall, I expect this wand to last.
The Dame Com has an entirely silicone body, which feels very high-quality and luxurious. The buttons feel well-made, and the plastic casing beneath the silicone feels solid and durable. I feel like I can apply very firm pressure without worrying about the neck breaking.
It’s not perfect though: the motor can rattle when the wand is held in open air. But it doesn’t happen when the wand’s in contact with your body.
