The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has excellent strength and a nice range, spanning low, medium, and high powers. I’m impressed with the vibration settings for how budget-friendly this wand is.

There are only 3 intensity levels, but the highest reaches a 6.7 out of 10, which is significantly stronger than my non-wand vibrators. While there are more powerful premium wands like the PalmPower Extreme or Magic Wand Plus, the Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the strongest wand I’ve tested that’s under $50. And even with its compact size, its strength is comparable to many full-sized wands.

The lowest setting is a 1.8 out of 10, which I find comfortable as a warmup. But since this setting is quite rumbly, it still impacts your whole vulva. So if you get overstimulated easily, you might consider the Romp Presto, which begins gentler and has smaller increments between power levels.

But the Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the most budget-friendly option for those who want a more traditional wand’s strength.

The Kiiroo ProWand has a decent vibration range, starting very gently and reaching a moderate top strength. This may be disappointing for those expecting the extreme power typical of wands, but it’s a great fit if you want a gradual build with strength comparable to mid-sized, non-wand vibrators. It has enough strength for me personally.

The five preset powers climb gradually enough that I’m not shocked by the transition, and they’re also distinct enough that each setting feels different, so I like spending time on each one. If you want an even more custom experience, you can use the app to adjust the power with a slider, which lets you reach in-between settings that aren’t available with the buttons alone.

If you want the higher vibration strength that’s typically expected of wands, both the app-controlled Lovense Domi 2 or the non-app-controlled BMS PalmPower Extreme are great alternatives in this price range.

We rate rumbly wands higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has good rumbliness. The first two power levels have that deep, rumbly feeling, but the top strength feels more neutral.

The middle setting, with a 5.25 out of 10 vibration strength, provides a powerful, rumbly level to enjoy. And the lowest setting provides a gentle, rumbly warmup. It’s the most rumbly wand vibrator at this price point.

If you want all the power settings to be rumbly, the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman is the next most affordable option. Unfortunately, most wands with excellent rumbliness, like the Magic Wand Rechargeable or We-Vibe Wand 2, come at a higher price.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them. This is all up to personal preference, though, so consider what you like.

The first four settings of the Kiiroo ProWand are rumbly, and the top setting has a neutral feel. The settings are spread out to cover a wider frequency range than many of my other wands, which is likely why each setting feels so different. I enjoy spending time with each one.

If you enjoy rumbly settings at gentler strengths, the ProWand is excellent. But if you want stronger rumbly vibrations, the Lovense Domi 2 is better.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Kiiroo FeelConnect 3 app’s Close-Range Features, its Long-Distance Features, and its Connectivity in detail.

But here’s the main conclusion:

Kiiroo’s FeelConnect 3 app is middle-of-the-road. Its features are adequate for close-range play and provide some fun customization options. However, the connectivity is hit-or-miss for long-distance control, and the overall experience isn’t as polished or feature-rich as Lovense’s (the best app-controlled brand).

Overall, if the app experience is your main priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is the clear winner. But if you see the app as a fun bonus feature and you prioritize the ProWand’s other qualities (like its quietness, more moderate intensity, and small head), then the app is good enough to still be enjoyable.

The Kiiroo ProWand has decent close-range features in the FeelConnect 3 app. It’s not as user-friendly as my favorite app (Lovense), but it provides good basic control with more customization features than the We-Vibe app.

There are several screens in the app that provide different ways to control your Kiiroo ProWand:

• Touch Control
• Patterns
• Sound Control
• Device-to-Device

In Touch Control, you can set a constant vibration intensity by dragging an on-screen dot up or down. The dot displays the power percentage, giving you great in-the-moment visual feedback and highly customized control, similar to my favorite feature in the Lovense app.

To create a wave-like pattern, you can pop out a side panel with three ovals representing the low, mid, and high parts of the power spectrum. The wand will then oscillate through whichever sections you have selected. For example, if you select the bottom two ovals, the wave will vibrate back-and-forth between the low and mid-powers. In this mode, the on-screen dot no longer controls intensity but instead adjusts the speed of the wave—lower for slower, higher for faster.

While this allows for good customization, I find the whole process less intuitive than the simple “loop” and “float” features in the Lovense Domi’s app, which make it easier to create any pattern quickly.

In FeelConnect’s Patterns, you can draw your own patterns using the Touch Control screen and save them to use again in the future. This is where all your saved patterns will be stored.

A useful feature for both the Touch Control and Patterns screens is the ability to control multiple Kiiroo toys simultaneously. Whether you’re using a clitoral and G-spot toy on yourself or playing with a partner, you can sync both toys to vibrate together. However, they will both follow the exact same pattern; unlike the Lovense app, you can’t control each toy independently on the same screen.

With Sound Control, your ProWand will vibrate based on the sound picked up by your phone’s mic. The screen displays a sound threshold line; whenever the noise around you is louder than this threshold, the ProWand vibrates. You can drag the threshold line up or down to make it more or less sensitive. A vertical slider on the right lets you set the constant intensity your wand will vibrate at when the sound is loud enough.

Device-to-Device control allows for hands-free control of a partner’s toy. In this mode, you select one “Main Device” that has a touch sensor and up to two “Controlled Devices” (which don’t need a sensor). When the Main Device is pressed against your body, the Controlled Device(s) will vibrate at full power. This is a neat way to sync up your partner’s stimulation with yours.

The Kiiroo ProWand does not have a touch sensor, so it can only be a “Controlled Device.” I paired it with my Kiiroo Fuse as the Main Device, and once you get used to it, the feature works pretty well. There’s a tiny delay, but it’s not too noticeable. However, the app must remain open and on-screen for it to work.

Through the app, you can also customize the color and flashing sequence of the light on the bottom of the wand, but you cannot turn the light off entirely.

If app control is a fun bonus feature, but not a top priority, the Kiiroo ProWand is a nice choice! But the Lovense app provides a better user experience, easier pattern creation, and tons of pre-made patterns. If you’ll use the app often, the Lovense Domi 2 is better.

The Kiiroo ProWand’s long-distance features in the FeelConnect 3 app are adequate but basic.

Within the app, you can message a partner, give them control of your toy, and video chat with them while they control your ProWand. Your partner’s control screen is just a simple slider to control the power (to send a “pattern” you’d have to continually drag the slider). This is functional, but less intuitive and more basic than other apps like Lovense, which allow a controlling partner to create looping patterns on the fly or send pre-designed patterns. Unlike other apps, you also can’t share photos or saved patterns with your partner.

If you want to play with someone regularly, you can add them as a partner by searching for their username in the “Interact” section. This saves them to your partner list where you can see their online status (though this isn’t always accurate) and quickly connect. If you’d prefer to give someone anonymous one-time control, you can instead generate a timed link that expires after a period of time you set. Once the time has expired, they’ll lose control of your toy.

If long-distance control will be an occasional activity for you, the Kiiroo ProWand works okay (though it has some connectivity issues in long-distance mode, discussed below). But if you plan to use this feature frequently, the Lovense Domi 2’s app is more reliable, has better features, and gives your partner better visuals and controls.

The Kiiroo ProWand’s FeelConnect 3 app has decent connectivity in close range but can be frustrating in long-distance mode.

Pairing the toy with the app is usually quick and reliable. Occasionally, it won’t pair right away, but restarting the app fixes the issue. Once connected, I can use the app’s close-range features consistently, even with periods of inactivity or while switching between other apps, and it rarely disconnects. If it does, re-pairing is quick and easy.

Long-distance mode is where the connectivity is spottier. About 25-50% of the time, my initial video call does not go through to my partner; they only receive a “missed call” notification. The app also often shows my partner as offline when they are online. Thankfully, you can still send a call either way. But it takes more out-of-app communication to coordinate a session.

The Lovense Domi 2 is very reliable, and I recommend it instead if you plan to frequently use the long-distance features.

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand is very comfortable and easy to use.

It has excellent, simple controls. It has separate buttons to increase and decrease power, so you don’t need to cycle through intensity levels to return to a gentler setting. It has a third button to rotate through the 4 vibration patterns. And you can adjust the strength of each vibration pattern. Multi-button wands like the Orion wand make it quick and easy to find an enjoyable setting.

Although the handle is short, the head is large, like a full-sized wand. It’s great for those who find broad stimulation that spreads over your whole vulva comfortable and enjoyable. I find direct clitoral stimulation more comfortable with broad wands like Your New Favorite Wand because the stimulation spreads out and feels less overwhelming to me.

The large head means you can’t easily limit the contact or avoid particular areas. But the flexible neck helps to keep the contact comfortable.

The short handle can be tiring to leverage for firm pressure over long periods but is fine for typical sessions. And the handle is thicker than other mini wands, which I find comfortable to grip. The thicker handle does an excellent job of dampening the vibrations, so you don’t feel them much in your hand.

The Kiiroo ProWand is very comfortable and easy to use. It’s best for those who prefer mini wands – the compact size is easy to move around and fit into tight spots.

The slim head allows more precise contact than wands with large heads. Though the head is firm, the extreme flexibility of the neck keeps contact very comfortable. Though it takes extra effort to leverage for firm pressure because of this neck flexibility.

The handle is long enough to provide several grip points, and slim enough to wrap your hand around easily.

The controls are excellent, allowing you to increase and decrease strength with separate buttons. If you like to adjust power levels frequently, this is important – it helps you get to your ideal setting quickly.

One downside is the noticeable light at the base of the handle. In the app, you can customize the light features by selecting the color and flashing sequence of the light during use. You can adjust it so that it doesn’t flash, but you cannot turn this light off entirely, which some people may find distracting.

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand is passable during sex, but mini wands with a smaller head (like the comparably-priced Romp Presto) are easier to use with a partner. The Orion Your New Favorite Wand works well in open positions but is only decent in positions facing your partner.

The Orion’s large head works best in a spooning position or doggystyle, where the space between you and your partner is not limited. In fairly open positions like these, you can position the Orion wand’s large head close to your clit, and its powerful vibes spread throughout your whole vulva. And in these positions, you can easily angle the Orion’s short handle however you want.

Face-to-face positions like missionary or cowgirl are more challenging. It’s doable, but you may need to be intentional with your body position. In these positions, space is limited. And since the Orion’s handle is short, both your hand and the wand’s large head take up space. It’s more difficult than a short wand with a small head or a long wand with a large head. It gets crowded, and angling the wand where you want takes more thought.

If using a wand with a partner in a variety of positions is your main priority, I recommend the VeDO Wini or Romp Presto in this price range. If you prefer positions from behind or using your wand during sex is just a bonus for you, then the Orion is still a great option.

The Kiiroo ProWand is fantastic to use during sex. For a wand, it’s very slim and lightweight, allowing you to maneuver it easily, and it fits between you and a partner for great stimulation in any position.

The handle is shorter than full-sized wands but longer than most mini wands, giving you plenty of length to leverage without having to reach too far. In positions like doggystyle or spooning, you still have enough handle length to prop against the bed for support.

The slim head is especially important to me during partnered use, as larger heads can bump against my pubic bone painfully. With the ProWand’s tall, oval shape, I can easily limit contact to comfortable areas.

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has mediocre noise performance. The sound itself isn’t annoying because the pitch isn’t too high or distracting, but it is fairly audible.

My partner could hear the top two levels from behind our bedroom door during our testing. Only the lowest setting was completely inaudible in our silent house.

If you have roommates, the VeDO Wini or Romp Presto are quieter options in this price range. Or some premium wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable and We-Vibe Wand 2 have more strength while remaining quieter.

However, you can freely use the Orion Your New Favorite Wand’s entire power range if you turn on a box fan or play music in your bedroom. Both these options completely masked the Orion wand’s sound in our testing.

The Kiiroo ProWand is very quiet, making it an excellent choice if you have housemates and need something discreet.

In our test, my partner could not hear the vibrations on any setting from the other side of the bedroom door. As someone sensitive to sounds, I really like the noise levels of this wand and enjoy using it.

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has excellent attachment compatibility – the best of any mini or budget-friendly wand! Even though it’s a short wand vibrator, it has a large head. Since most wand attachments are designed for full-sized wand vibrators, the majority of these attachments fit the Orion wand.

Of the wand attachments I own, there are compatible attachments for clit, G-spot, anal, penis, and dual-stimulation, so it’s versatile.

See our wand attachment compatibility table to see which ones fit the Orion Your New Favorite Wand Massager.

The Kiiroo ProWand has very poor attachment compatibility. The slim head that makes it great to use during sex severely limits the number of usable attachments.

Most attachments are made for wands with larger heads. In my current collection, only two fit the ProWand well. You can find a few options, but you’ll have to hunt for them. If attachments are a priority, try a wand like the We-Vibe Wand 2 or Magic Wand Plus.

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has excellent compatibility with wand mounts for hands-free play. I test my wands with my Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts.

The Liberator Axis allows you to lay over the mount on your stomach while the wand is held slightly upward between your legs. This is my preferred mount for hands-free stimulation during sex.

The Orion’s thick, short handle securely fits in the mount’s slot. And Your New Favorite Wand Massager’s head is actually wider than most full-sized wands. This extra girth helps it reach my clit more easily and provides more consistent pressure and contact with my clit than a narrow head. The stimulation is excellent!

The Orion also works great in the Liberator Wanda. You can straddle the Wanda in a doggystyle position for hands-free vibrations and penetration from behind with a partner. Or you can simply sit on the mount and enjoy easy hands-free stimulation. The Orion wand’s head rests just above the fabric so you can lower your body onto it (unlike tall wands). It’s very versatile!

We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Kiiroo ProWand works okay with these mounts, but not as well as wands with larger heads.

The Axis holds the ProWand at a slightly upward angle while you lie across the mount on your stomach. The slim head doesn’t offer much firm pressure, but the vibrations are still enjoyable – since they’re rumbly so they travel well even without great pressure. But if you want firm pressure and more consistent contact, an angled wand with a larger head works better, like the We-Vibe Wand 2 or BMS PalmPower Extreme.

The Wanda holds the ProWand mostly upright – then you can sit on top of the mount for hands-free stimulation. This works well solo, but it would be difficult to pair with penetration from a partner – the wand’s too short for that, so you need to sit really low on the mount to keep contact with it. The slim head makes the contact surface less comfortable to press against since it’s not as broad.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 or BMS PalmPower Extreme are better in the Wanda mount for solo and partnered play.

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand is rechargeable and has great battery life. During our testing, it lasted an hour and a half on high power. I can usually enjoy this wand a couple of times before I need to charge it again.

The Kiiroo ProWand is rechargeable with an excellent battery life. In my test, it lasted for almost five and a half hours on high power from a single charge. This is great news if you’re like me and often forget to charge your toys between uses.

However, when left running continuously for this long, it would sometimes automatically lower the power, likely as a motor-preservation feature. For testing purposes, I reset the power to high whenever this happened. Towards the very end of the test (after several hours), it also began to behave oddly, sometimes changing to an unprompted vibration pattern. These issues do not occur during normal, shorter-duration use, even up to a couple hours.

The build quality of the Orion Your New Favorite Wand seems outstanding, especially for a wand around $50. It feels well put together and has a nice weighty feeling. The overall structure has no weird, uncomfortable seams. It’s ABS Plastic handle and silicone head feel durable, though not as luxurious as entirely silicone wand vibrators. The neck is comfortably flexible, but I can apply firm pressure without feeling like I’ll damage the wand. And the buttons are solid and have a good feel.

The Kiiroo ProWand has good build quality. The silicone and buttons have a nice feel with no rough seams. The body is fairly lightweight, which could feel cheap to some, but also makes it easy to hold for long periods. The neck is very flexible and feels a little flimsy, but it hasn’t shown any signs of breaking.
